Ladders.

For those of you who don't already know, earlier today Zero made a very interesting post about "generations" of the Slenderstalked. I suggest you go look, partially because it makes some quite interesting observations about progression or "phases".

The basic rundown, for you lazy people, is the following. Zero does it better than me though. Go read his version.

Gen. 1: Marble Hornets, JAFool, etc. The start, so to speak. Operator symbols, people going crazy, etc etc. This generation started to end with blogs like Seeking Truth and The Tutorial, who showed us that we could survive him.

Gen. 2: Core Theory. Characterised by the whole Sages thing, the Titles, etc. Personally, I think it started to end with Redlight taking over Robert Sagel's blog and ending with Zero telling us all to snap out of it, but some may not agree with me.

Gen. 3: Can't really tell what directions everything is going in from now, but people seem to be a lot more rational now, at least to me. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

On a non Slendyrelated topic, what's everyone planning for Christmas?

  1. I get to stay in les etats unis for Christmas. Don't get to see my family for a while, which sucks. I get to hang out with some of the other International students for a bit, which should be fun.

    Would I be wrong to say that I think of this as more an infection? Patient Zero would be generation 1, then the "crazy miracle cures" would be generation two. This generation will probably be the calm before the storm generation. At least that's my thinking...

  2. It's a possibility, seeing as Slenderman seems to spread via knowledge about himself. I've often entertained the possibility that Slenderman is not in fact a sentient being but rather some kind of memetic virus, which would explain inconsistencies with his abilities from story to story- different "strains" of Slenderman.

  4. LOST, at this stage there is very little that could surprise me. If Slendy himself showed up at my door in a Harry Potter costume and asked if a had a spare kettle and a kilogram of tofu I would probably throw up everything I have ever eaten and will ever eat in my entire lifetime out of pure fear, but I probably won't be surprised.

    Tell Jeff I say hello back.

  5. Viv, I want that to happen.

    Say hello to Jeff from me too. But it has to be all in lowercase, or how will he know it was me?

  6. Got the message, Jean.
    Gaining a little control back too.

    Why are you hitting yourself, Lost?
    Why are you hitting yourself?

    This is actually counterproductive, considering I'm hitting myself.

    But it is fun.

    See you guys soon.

    Stay Safe
