I prescribe to the theory that the creature or the group of creatures known as Slender Man is so inexplicably alien to us that we cannot comprehend its true nature or purpose.

Just watched EverymanHYBRID and TribeTwelve. Read Seeking Truth as well.

The earlier poll may be closed but I thought I'd just throw in that I thought TribeTwelve was my favorite. It's the only one that has actually managed to scare me so far. I think Noah himself is what makes it so effective.

EverymanHYBRID is just kind of humorous.

And MarbleHornets, well, is MarbleHornets. It's just more interesting/fascinating than scary.

Also: No wifin' in da club.

Alright, so we know that there is both an Evan (who is also called HABIT) and a Vincent that were at Fairmount Children's Home, but the timeframe is wrong for either of them to be EMH Evan and Vincent. Given the most recent EverymanHYBRID, new poll.

Well, should you give up looking, there are videos uploaded that point out when he appears in each one.

Links, please.

I could only find 2-3 videos.  One was mostly useless, the other only showed him in a few entries, and another only showed several up through #14 but left out quite a few.

Also, are the MH entries (and to a lesser extent some bits of EMH) waaay dark for everyone else?  I can't see shit, despite playing with my monitor's brightness/contrast.  I figure half the reason I've missed several/most Slendy appearances (esp. entry #5 where I clearly saw the tear but still couldn't find the sumbitch) is because of my display.  Seriously, I'm pretty sure I only saw him in half the entries tops.

They are way dark - the idea is that they're being filmed by amateurs.

Also, anyone know of some good games that freak you out like MH or EmH do?

In MH 5, Slendy is just to the left of a tree that is itself just to the left of where the frame stays focused most of the scene. The camera pans to the left briefly I think twice throughout the video; he's only visible then. I missed this appearance I think the first two times I watched it, it's pretty easy to miss - he is just standing right there once you spot him though.

I kinda figured part of the dark was my display or something.  Slendy's awfully hard to see sometimes for good reason (e.g. entry #5 obscured by trees in the distance, apparently), but I don't see how the hell he could be hiding anywhere but pitch darkness in some of the others.  For example, I don't recall seeing him in the house (you know the one).  When J appears in the dilapidated old building, he doesn't appear in that building so much as part of a disjoint clip (the 1-2 second bit with the IIRC reddish haze/tint).  Either he's damned hard to see or I'm just that terrible at spotting him.

Alright, so perhaps he doesn't. I was originally informed of Slendy showing up in every one besides Entry 16 from TvTropes, but those statements have apparently been deleted, so I guess they were false assumptions. Or, given Retro's post, perhaps he does and we've just missed it.

Also, you may find it useful to watch the EverymanHYBRID Ustream Archives, should you have missed their live shows (I certainly did.). One important detail from the recent livestream that you won't find elsewhere is that

Slendy definitely isn't in all of them - but he tends to be in most, even if only for a few frames. I've heard that sometimes there's a single hidden frame at the end of a video, but haven't cared enough to investigate, really.

Yeah, there are quite a few that he's not in actually. Sometimes it's hinted that he's there, but not actually caught on tape.

It's never given. That said, there's a good chance A.R.K. is his initials, but I'll be waiting for confirmation.

EverymanHYBRID update. Looks like they're trying to make the ARG easier to follow.

I just watched MH from start to finish.

I'm currenty sat in my living room with the living room, hallway and porch light on.  The curtains are closed for the first time in 3 months.

I'm not sleeping tonight.

EDIT: Anyone interested in some form of Slender Man roleplay?  I've got a few ideas, but feel free to suggest yours.

Yeah. Kind of awkwardly presented, since they're obviously trying to get info across about the game without breaking character. Bah. I will hold out for a real EH update.
