Welcome to ''The Tutorial''. Being stalked by [[SlenderManMythos Slender Man]]? Well, M is just the man to turn to. [[http://getuphigh.blogspot.com/2010/06/time-to-sit-down.html Starting from the first entry of The Tutorial]], he instructs people how to not only survive being hunted and haunted by Slender Man, but to live and enjoy life in spite of the terror of being followed by an EldritchAbomination. He offers a lot of insight on the mythos and was the one to found three rules which players of the [[AlternateRealityGame ARG]] have been prescribing to ever since his blog took off.

Welcome to ''The Tutorial''. Being stalked by [[SlenderManMythos Slender Man]]? Well, M is just the man to turn to. [[http://getuphigh.blogspot.com/2010/06/time-to-sit-down.html Starting from the first entry of The Tutorial]], he instructs people how to not only survive being hunted and haunted by Slender Man, but to live and enjoy life in spite of the [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel terror]] of being followed by an EldritchAbomination. He offers a lot of insight on the mythos and was the one to found three rules which players of the [[AlternateRealityGame ARG]] have been prescribing to ever since his blog took off. People who follow his rules are called ''Runners''.
The Three Rules Are:
# Get up high. Due to [[OrangeAndBlueMorality Being on a different wavelength]] than mankind, Slender Man doesn't seem able to perceive people of a higher altitude than two stories up.
# Keep moving. Stay in one place too long and you will find yourself having [[ParanoiaFuel nightly visitations]]. [[invoked]]
# Keep your eyes open. Be alert.
Note: The rules are not fail proof, as some people prescribing to M's thinking have found out [[CruelAndUnusualDeath the hard way.]]
Not to be confused for tutorials for products.
!!!Tropes associated with ''The Tutorial'':
* TheAce: No, not [[SeekingTruth Zeke Strahm]], [[WhiteElephants Robert]], or [[AHintOfSerendipity Zero]]. For having been there from the very start of Slender Man's reign of terror and still being alive, sane, and in one piece today, this particular Title goes undisputedly to M. Follow his example if you want to survive. He's not a BrokenAce, either. [[TheDeterminator He won't let himself break, for one thing.]]
* TheAtoner: M shows some shades of this. He once teamed up with a man named Sam. At the time, M thought that they could seek safety in the woods and guided Sam out there, as the result, the other man was [[CruelAndUnusualDeath torn limb from limb]].
* BigBrotherMentor: To [[{{Testing123}} Shaun.]]
* ClusterFBomb: The blog entries are filled with all kinds of ''colorful'' language.
* CrazyHomelessPeople: Subverted, in that M is largely a OnlySaneMan when compared to some of the other bloggers (looking at you, Sandra). He's got the homeless part down, though.
** However, this is the fate of [[strike: some]] most people on the run from Slender Man.
** Not just M but most of the homeless people described in Tutorial are portrayed as resourceful and well adapted to their environment. M just extends this mentality to fighting abominations.
* DeadlyPrank: M lampshades that this is how the whole thing got started, with a "make a scary photo" contest.
* TheDeterminator: M. He has fought and clawed his way to survival since day one of Slender Man's appearance. Now he's on the Run and not about to let himself to caught.
* DontGoInTheWoods: '''Do not.''' This is how ol' slendy gets around.
* EveryoneIsASuspect: To an extent. Proxies and agents under slimjim can act perfectly normal.
* [[FinalGirl Final Guy]]: M, himself. Everyone he ever knew, friends, family, that guy at the supermarket. All dead.
* GenreSavvy: M. Just M. He ''is'' teaching fellow Runners how to weather the hunt, after all. He knows how to survive anything that Slender Man can throw at him, whether it's fire, his slaves/followers, or direct confrontations. He's also been doing so ever since the whole mess got started at SomethingAwful forums.
* HopeSpot: M, himself. To explain, there is almost nothing stable about the slendercommunity. It's always changing cast members via Slender Man battering the poor bastards. M's ''The Tutorial'' represents a stability not found elsewhere. Thus his continued survival through all the storms and hellfire Slender Man has thrown them (think [[WhamEpisode Late November]]) is enough to give some bloggers enough of an inkling of hope to keep soldiering on.
* IWorkAlone: His title given to him by Robert Sage was ''Hermit''. M neither claimed or rejected the title, but it suits his role in the mythos. He goes it alone all the way but is more than willing to pass his knowledge onto others and encourage experimentation to learn about the bloggers' common foe.
* ImplacableMan: Slender Man, natch.
* IronWoobie: Our hero, M, again. See ''GenreSavvy'' and ''ShaggyDogStory'', he's been through all Slender Man can throw at him.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: M goes it alone. Everyone who has teamed up with him have met grisly ends.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: M, himself. He's abrasive, unfriendly, blunt, rude, and swears like a sailor. He's also the first person to sit down and make a comprehensive guide to help others endure the horrors brought up by ol' Slendy and has become something of an authority on the subject.
** As such, just about all of the entries of his blog to become a gathering place for the slenderbloggers to congregate and discuss the matter at hand.
* LampshadeHanging: Has done this with just about everything the mythos has to offer.
* MadScientist: Occasionally M shows some shades of this while discussing theories about Slender Man, especially when in conversation with the former Sages.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Just about everybody from the slenderblogs makes an appearance on the comments sections of his entries at one point or another whether it's [[WhiteElephants Robert]], [[AnomalousData Jay]], [[AHintOfSerendipity Zero]], [[WebOriginal/AReallyBadJoke Maduin]], Nessa, Fizzy, [[WebOriginal/WhatYouAreInTheDark Reach]], [[RoadToTheHeavens Amelia]], [[SeekingTruth Zeke Strahm]], A, B, Jess, Jean, Vieve, [[{{Testing123}} Shaun]], [[{{Haunting}} Sandra]], [[{{Haunting}} Matt]], or [[{{Haunting}} Lya]]. It's where they do a lot of their discussing and planning, in fact.
* MyGreatestFailure: See '' The Atoner''.
* NonActionGuy: Unlike the likes of [[EverymanHybrid Everyman Hyrbid's]] Evan or [[SeekingTruth Seeking Truth's]] Zeke Strahm, he never attempts to bring out the good ol' [[EvilDead Boomstick]] or [[ShoutOut Chainsaw]] to try to bring the fight to Slender Man. He's perfectly content to spend his days running. Of course, [[TropesAreNotBad it's worked for him]] so far.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Actually [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in this blog. The whole point of M's third rule is the theory that the Slender Man can't do this if he thinks you're looking at him. In other words, he literally cannot teleport ''unless'' he's "offscreen" in your mind.
* OnlySaneMan: Yes. Very much so. Out of all the slenderbloggers, he's the only one who has yet to lose it even once, thus setting an all-time record which no one else has yet to match.
* ScheduleSlip: there are times when M has gone ''months'' without contact, which, given the subject matter of the blog, is unsettling. One went on so long that most bloggers assumed him dead.
** Thankfully, he finally got back to them, confirming he is still alive.
* ShaggyDogStory: '''Yes.''' Though M is still alive, he was unable to save his brother, other family members, or friends, and will spend the rest of his days being chased down and hunted by the Slender Man.
* TagalongKid: Bondie - After M "hiatus" at the start of 2011 M was found by a kid named Bondie.
* TomatoInTheMirror: He warns people about these. They're people Slender Man has taken over and left alone for a while for whatever reason. He can seize control again anytime, though.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Zeke Strahm. ''It's good fucking coffee.''
* WeaksauceWeakness: Slender Man's inability to see you if you're higher than two stories up.
* WildMassGuessing: '''''A lot''''' of this goes in both the blog entries and the comments section. By extension, EpilepticTrees are sometimes indulged as well.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Like many other Slender-based vlogs/blogs, he considers Slender Man to be a product of the Tulpa Effect, which is essentially this trope.
