I was going to post it and everything, and claim all the credit for it, and feel so very proud of myself for having thought of it first. Oh well.<br />I would say that Generation 3 started with Robert passing on the Sage titles, not with the redlight posts. Generation 3 is defined by much greater awareness of what Slender Man is/does, higher crossover between blogs, and lots more proxies. All of those things started before the redlight posts; if anything, his posts caused the blogs to move closer back to the Generation 2 style.<br />Also, everyone else seems to be associating the earlier Core Theory posts with the Gen2 because of the existence of Core Theory in both, but I feel those two are very different. The early Core Theory posts fit with the knowledge/multiplayer/proxy style currently going on (though it was exaggerated greatly then), but if you look at White Elephants, very little of that is present. WE is what caused the transition, but I don't feel it was in the same category of blog generations.Omegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614386396688355346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182065639960072947.post-37400481162132323332010-12-06T06:58:32.303-06:002010-12-06T06:58:32.303-06:00Zero I think I may have stumbled onto something bi...Zero I think I may have stumbled onto something big. It could change the whole way we've been think about, and reacting to Slender man. I need a little more information to be sure, but if my theory proves true we might have a way to beat him still.

I'm not much of a party guy really, I'm afraid I'll have to decline; but, you can make "personal acquaintance" with my teeth ripping out your throat if you're willing to come over.<br /><br />That reminds me, I'm hungry, which also reminds me that I'm not supposed to feed the trolls. It's fun though, isn't it? I'm getting a snack and a couple of blades to keep at my bedside in case someone wants to stop by and chat.

I'd say we're either in Gen. 3 already (probably starting with you telling us all to snap out of it) or are shifting into it. As a group we seem to be moving away from running around like headless chickens and behaving in a more rational way. Also, proxies appear to have been becoming more involved, to the point of actually posting on the blogs.<br /><br />Let's just not think about what you said would happen in Gen. 5.
