Russian guy creates suicide game
>Retarded tweens/teens connect with person (know from henceforth as the curator) that gives them challenges that they complete every day.
>This goes on for 50 days
>Challenges are harmless at first, but rachet up with intensity (cut a whale into your leg and photograph it) until the 50th day where the player kills themselves
This is on social media like twitter
The hero we don't deserve.

Slenderman was also a hoax until two tweens tried to murder their friend to summon him.

Slenderman never was a hoax it was a game and teens who read creepypasta are profoundly autistic and retarded so it was bound to happen

Nah, the original idea came from Something Awful, where they had a contest to make a spooky image.
He didn't actually become Slenderman until someone saw the image and got inspired to make a Blair Witch style series of youtube videos that was implied to be real. That was the hoax.
The series go so popular that /x/ adopted the character, and then a game got made, and a bunch of other stuff.

>Her real name is not Nadia; we are keeping her identity hidden ad the request of her family, out of respect for her memory and their privacy.
i.e. we made her the fuck up like we make everything up

Hasn't that "game" been in circulation in Russia for, like, a year? I remember hearing about a number of teens who killed themselves (I think by jumping?) after following a series of instructions that included carving a whale on your body.
Weird shit.
