So for the numbers, we almost certainly have to line up the decimals and do something with them. I think we can rule out the "entry number" as it translates to liar. Now we just have to find a way for the same number conversion to work for these numbers. If we were to add the numbers from the top down we'd get the word "all" followed by gibberish. The all is caused by the first 6 numbers not having anything below them, illustrated below. So in theory if we did something with the numbers, like say subtract or divide them, those first 6 numbers would always stay the same. So, does anyone know anything we could do to these numbers?

Edit: The second number flashed twice, so it may or may not be involved twice, i noted this with a question mark.

So the beginning of the video has Entry 000.129519

If you multiply the numbers at the end by the number shown at the beginning it's:

145225183.211854
14.522518
14.522518
20.18.21192

if any number less than 26 is a letter, this translated to:

nevercured
never
never
trusb

(may have been an error there on the last one, but I assume that means 'trust')

Nothing yet on the video description. I'll keep poking at it though

According to my initial spectrogram readings, there's nothing in those clicks. Still, that's just with an initial run if an older version of iZotope RX. so if anyone wants to take a stab at it, I think we shouldn't leave those out for the count.

Just double checked your math. I do believe you got it sir. So entry translates to "liar", and the end translates to "never cured, never trust". The only thing that doesn't sit right with me is both the "b" and the fact that OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That would be ridiculous if they actually meant the entry number to also mean "liar". I can not even imagine how they managed to get the numbers exactly right like that.


edit: also, HOLY CRAP working out totheark videos at 3AM with no one else home is so unnerving still to this day... I thought I was pretty de-sensitized to the whole thing.

Wow, that was fast. Well done. This seems to be the right answer.

So it seems there's no turning back for Jay, Tim and Hoody after being "attacked". Maybe the Ark or defeating the Operator is the answer?

But 2018.21192 could also correctly be written 2018.211920, which would end with a T.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As for the method of getting these numbers, it's trivial. You just code a word, stick a decimal point in and divide by 0.129519


EDIT: Also, the entry number translates to LIES, not LIAR. BenJPas posted that first though.

Great catch americhat.

As someone pointed out already, I think the timing of this video and the style of it's content are indicative of TTA being Hoody's masky state when he does not have the medication to repel TO's lasting effects of madness. We know that the medication seems to prevent Tim from becoming Masky, and Entry 73 was clearly spelling out for us (and Jay and Tim for that matter) that Hoody needs the pills, was running low, and getting desperate. He walked all the way to Tim's house to illegally enter and steal some despite knowing that it was a long shot, and then went on to upload footage of his crime on the internet on the off chance that it inspired Jay and Tim to either return or help him.

It could very well be that this video is Hoody, descending into TTA madness and becoming obsessed with the fact that after Entry #74, which clearly Hoody would have seen, Tim and Jay did NOT in fact immediately return to Tim's home as they seemed to be indicating that they would. He's angry, his sanity/grip on reality is slipping, and he is now questioning if Jay too is a liar... Which in my opinion sheds some light on possible reasons behind why he is obsessed with the idea that Tim is a liar. Could it be that Tim and Hoody's falling out was something as simple as Tim promising to do something to help Hoody i.e. "I'll come right back with more pills" and then not following through, perhaps due to an Op encounter that wiped his memory of the promise, or perhaps because he didn't get the pills in time even for himself and thus became Masky and did not remember to return and aid his ally.

This is actually making a lot of sense now when thinking back to things that before made little or none. Perhaps some instances where we see Masky and Hoody, they are in fact NOT in their altered state and kept their sanity using Tim's pills, for example when they lured Alex to the woods to kill him. They originally decided to use the masks while stalking Alex to prevent him from recognizing them, including the time they drew him into the woods. If Alex had been aware that he was chasing Tim or Brian (I'll add "or Seth" to avoid putting off Seth fans) he probably wouldn't have been so quick to chase his own victims into what would have been much more obviously a trap. Thus Tim is in fact lying about remembering nothing as the masked man... He remembers nothing in his altered state, but perhaps he isn't always in his altered state when he has on the mask.

Also, think to when Hoody stole Tim's pills and then filmed him having a seizure. For a long time, this video made little sense to me as far as what Hoody's motivation for doing this might be.... But if we consider that perhaps Tim and Hoody had already discovered the pill's effectiveness and had exploited it together, things become much more straightforward. Tim promises to return to Hoody with more pills, but gets memory wiped and doesn't follow through on his promise. Hoody decides Tim is a liar and duped him, all the while becoming TTA due to lack of pills. In his TTA state he visits the hospital and writes He is a LIAR on the wall. After some time as TTA at some point he realizes where Tim lives, or stalks him to find out. He sees that Tim has pills, breaks in and steals them, and is not motivated to help him when he has the seizure due to his belief that Tim is an asshole (basically).

Anyone want to try and figure out based on TTA's video release patterns if this is possible? The notably different styles in his videos mean that sometimes he is sane Hoody trying to send Jay a cryptic message, and other times is the insane TTA, unable to coherently create a video. If we analyze this, it's possible we could develop a better understanding of what happened between Tim and Hoody, and what the timeline is for their team up and subsequent break up. I think that the tape Hoody found in 73 will confirm all of what I'm saying, when we see it. And don't act like we won't see it... This whole series is "so I found these tapes a--- what the fuck?!?"

Anyway, I guess I'm suggesting that we look and see if there are specific instances of pills being shown to be available for Hoody to steal or have access to in any way, and then immediately after we don't get a fucked up TTA video for a long while. Entry 19, the pills Jay stole have vanished after Masky showed up... Did he steal them back for Hoody? I mean, Jay even stole them from Bryan's house specifically. After the Entry where Hoody stole the pills from Tim and filmed him having a seizure, did TTA get a lot more sane for a while? I'd say yes immediately partially because he uploaded the video of him doing so and didn't put in a bunch of jump cut madness that scares your balls off. It's mostly just footage of him taking the pills and Tim seizing up. Are there even more examples? Can we prove or disprove this?

I think totheark has been playing too much Hotline Miami.

So this is pretty much confirmation that TTA isn't talking to jay and tim ? "are you both of them " ?

Am I the only person who didn't find that face creepy at all? I just thought it was ridiculous. When it first popped up I actually thought it was a fake, another troll post or something.

About all I was able to get from this video. TTA accusing people of being liars and stuff again, while actually not doing much to help. Pretty typical by this point.

Best totheark in a long while. The distorted cheery music is very reminiscent of enttry #37. A fine way of showing Hoody's slipping sanity. As for the title, it can be referring to multiple things - Alex becoming less human, Hoody reverting into madness and Jay and Tim becoming less trustworthy.

If you are correct here, then I'm disappointed. This is the same old stuff totheark always says. There was no point in hiding it in code.

Someone please figure out what the face is saying. I can't make it out, but the face wouldn't be animated to talk along with it if it were irrelevant.

And this video didn't scare me very much either. The distortion sound at the end when the face, uh, melts or whatever REALLY sounded like a fart noise. Like when you press your hands to your mouth in 1st grade and piss off the teacher. Kind of weird.

Thanks to mojo, we figuered out that the song is from a christian radio franchise, wich makes sense with the title of the video ''Conversion''. The ''talking'' bits in the video are to distorted (But seems to be in the right pitch) to figuer out anything and i don't have the software i need.

I'm also starting to believe TO is just a very motivated christian and just wanted to share the word of God with Tim and Jay

When you say Alex is becoming less human, it reminds me of Voldemort. Razz
