Being made up by someone doesn't affect his existance at all. So you will never be certain if he really exists and that's the unnerving part about it.<br /><br />While I knew that the woodcuts were shopped, it annoyed me that people, from all possible options, chose Der Ritter as Teh German Construct(tm). It's okay for me to say that he'd be mythologic creature that was buried among other stories for a long time. There are quite a lot of creatures like that (talk about Spiritus Familiaris in Germany and you'll only get a blank stare from that). But claim it to be the most important antagonist of German legends went a bit too far for my taste.<br /><br />By the way, I really enjoy your blog. I might should say that before you think all I can do is whine. :3Broeckchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619908369735679474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471163650536492086.post-61555300152691841142010-12-21T07:06:49.477-06:002010-12-21T07:06:49.477-06:00The reason you've never heard of Der Ritter be...The reason you've never heard of Der Ritter before is because it was created as part of the Mythos. Someone took an old German woodcut, did some photoshop to it, gave it the name "Der Ritter", and viola, we have a new facet of the Mythos. It's one of my least favorite parts of the Mythos, since the fact that you can disprove its existence with only a few seconds of searching online really messes with my suspension of disbelief.Omegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614386396688355346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471163650536492086.post-63335342087739005272010-12-21T00:08:16.145-06:002010-12-21T00:08:16.145-06:00Meh...

It's a bit late for that, but I'd like to do a little rant on that one to set some things straight that get portrayed wrongly often in the Core theory.<br />Robert always assumed that there is ONE big construct of every culture. But that is not true. Lets take Germany as an example... I'm sure there is even more, but apart from devils, we also had the Spiritus Familiaris, a malevolent, spider/scorpiolike being in a bottle, which only could be obtained via buying it for one coin less than it was bought before. It brought luck to its owner, but when the owner died without selling it before, it would drag them down to hell with it. Then there where the Alps, incidentally a Mythos kind of akin to the Slender Man. There where rumors that said that everyone could be or become an Alp, even animals. Others said they came from afar or another plane. They produced nightmares in every being they possessed at night, and they could even be deadly for all I know, draining a person of nice dreams and therefore of recovery through sleep until there minds almost fell apart. Then there was the Piper of Hamelin, who was said to have appeared in more than only one town, abducting all the children. Also we had evil dwarfs. And the Fair Folk.<br />Der Ritter however is a creature I never heard of before. And I'm quite legend-savvy.<br />If you're going for single constructs, we had beings like Loki and the Midgard snake. And in our greatest legend: The dragon that was slain by Siegfried. So that doesn't count either.<br /><br />I don't say that this makes Roberts theory less true. The Fair Folk seemed to gradually disappear when people slowly stopped believing in them - maybe a similar effect. But, and this is important: He certainly made a mistake about assuming there were only one construct per culture. America even has got its own construct already: The wendigo. Which brings me to the conclusion that either there is a kind of pool of belief-energy that can be divided to feed many different beings or one at a time - or there simply is no limit to how much malevolent cunstructs you build. Which means: There can be even greater Evils lurking around your corner.<br />[/rant]Broeckchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619908369735679474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471163650536492086.post-6423452628481729492010-11-29T16:50:42.376-06:002010-11-29T16:50:42.376-06:00I know that some wikis have requirements to have a...I know that some wikis have requirements to have accounts to edit, like The Other Wiki (though that is sometimes on an individual page basis, with pages often targeted or otherwise important protected; see the UESPwiki for an example). <br /><br />Pages can also be set to only be edited by people with certain permissions. As for password protected, I haven't heard anything about that. But I know Captchas can be set and even tailored so that beyond a certain time period, users don't have to Captcha anymore.<br /><br />Obviously not a fool-proof method to stop edit wars and vandalism, but a good and active admin staff/patrolling staff (and I say staff lightly - it would have to be volunteer work) could do the job pretty well. (Again see UESP).<br /><br />However, I think Slendy is just too subjective and too narrow to create a really good wiki about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471163650536492086.post-50953822287756890582010-11-21T00:45:59.978-06:002010-11-21T00:45:59.978-06:00Well, I know that there are wikis (like Wikipedia ...Well, I know that there are wikis (like Wikipedia itself) that require accounts.

Not sure if I should thank you for that or not.<br /><br />If (Warrior) and (Hero) were people who haven't entered the fray yet I wouldn't be surprised. Often in stories of this kind the (Hero) doesn't make himself known until close to the end.
