The term proxy, as used in the Slender Man Mythos, was born from early theories about Masky's relationship to The Operator, I believe. However #45 seemed to suggest that Masky, and his new friend Hoody, were actually opposed to The Operator.

I think the TTA crew is trying to stop The Operator. I don't know how, but the motivation is pretty clear.

I would disagree, they don't seem to have done too much to stop TO, to me they always seem to be running for Alex

Edit: reading this back I noticed I may come across as hostile, I'm sorry, it wasn't intended in that way

Maybe stopping Alex is the way to stop TO.

I think this is quite likely, even if it's a little bit cliched

No the term proxy was born from DarkHarvest. And so far the only person that's really been hinted as a proxy is Alex, but that's still not conclusive since we don't know if TO is really controlling him or not.

Well. If IG time And OOG time are the same, Jay has now been tied up on Tim's floor for a week (I feel so weird every time I talk about Tim tying up Jay). Something better happen soon.

As far as we know he's been tied up anyways. Hoodie or TO or someone could have come in and untied him. But going by what we have we have to assume he's still tied up

pretty sure this shows IG time =/= OOG time, although I'm sure there'll be someone who tries to argue...

The term proxy has been around for far longer than either series.

No, this does not confirm that. The fact that Tim mentions having a work schedule, Jay being unconcious for days/weeks, and Alex mentioning to Tim that they have to set a date to go to the hospital infer they are accounting for it

Even is his deteriorated mental state, Jay would have escaped his bonds within 24 hours. The kitchen was right there and there are surely knives in the kitchen. He can't still be tied up unless you're suggesting he repeatedly soiled himself and is literally delirious from dehydration. Even without Alex, Hoody or TO intervening, I'm sure Jay would've scooted/rolled into the kitchen, used a wall to stand up, opened drawers until he found the knife drawer, and cut himself free.

Also, it's pretty easy to get your hands back in front of you when you're tied the way Jay was. If he kept his head, he should have been free no less than two..maybe three hours after Tim left.

I think it's funny that people are assuming that Tim can upload a video of Jay's location and situation to YouTube and this WON'T lead to Alex/Hoody/THE OPERATOR/SOMEONE finding him within hours of the video's upload.

If we take IG time to = OG time (which has basically been the way that the series has operated thus far), Jay's last tweet came on Oct 13, and Entry #77 was uploaded on Oct 16th. This means there was a small window of two to three days between the time that Jay visited Tim's house and was captured, and the time that Tim took to upload the video of the results.

We know that other characters can read and possibly follow the Twitter because Jay has directly addressed Tim in his latest tweets.

From this we can infer that at the time that Tim had uploaded #77, he had NOT been to Amy's College yet, due to the relatively small time margin between the last date that Jay was free and the time it took to upload #77.

Basically, all this argument over whether or not Jay is still in the house is silly. Hoody knows where Tim lives and breaks in pretty often. Hoody knows where Jay is. Both Hoody and Alex had advance warning that Jay would be heading to Tim's house. I mean, do the math.

EDIT: And this is all assuming that Jay didn't just do the deed himself and get out on his own. Way too many ways for Jay to get out of there within even an hour after Tim left him there (the video wouldn't even have had to have been uploaded for Hoody or Alex to know Jay would be there) for him to have been stuck there for more than a day.

I can see a TTA-style hijacking happening soon if it turns out that Jay was found by Hoody. Since Jay doesn't have a camera, the only way for us to find out what's going on with him during the time that Tim has left him there and is working on his own would be something of this nature.

If Hoody has Alex, he's probably too busy to chase Jay. And we don't know what Hoody wants with Jay and whether he'd even be interested in taking advantage of Jay's current state. And Alex himself has shown himself to be horribly slow at catching up with Jay and Tim, so I wouldn't really expect him to get to Tim's house within hours of upload.

It's TO he's not safe from, if anyone.

I think the time gap here disproves the idea that Hoody literally has Alex though. It was MONTHS between 75 and 77, so I doubt Hoody's actually been keeping Alex physically captive. He would also probably have been more emphatic about either Jay or Tim getting their behinds over to the location if he literally had Tim.

At the very least, Hoody wouldn't need to stay with Alex in order to keep him hostage for the past couple of months. Logistically that seems to make no sense, especially given the fact that TTA went out of his way to upload File this month without really alluding to the fact that he may or may not have Alex hostage.

And of course, the other way around with Alex holding Hoody hostage, the existence of File makes no sense.

So I'm pretty sure Hoody has free movement and isn't restricted by any kind of Alex-monitoring.

And like I said, both Hoody and Alex would have had advance notice that Jay would eventually end up at Tim's house based on his tweets. (Three days, give or take.) They would possibly even have been able to conclude as much based on the events at the end of #75, that they'd end up meeting around there.

And of course, Hoody's "ALWAYS WATCHING" shtick has been a major theme of Season 3, so it's fully possible that he'd be there ASAP. The fact that Hoody has been following Jay around for a while, helping him by doing things like recovering tapes and his camera, leading him to information, etc, makes me think that Hoody wouldn't just let something like Jay being restrained somewhere without his camera slide. Especially since Hoody has been intimating pretty strongly that he doesn't trust Tim.
