 		Twistedpuppet pretty much summed it up nicely.

It's not so much the OOG discussion itself as the negative nature of that discussion.

 		My theory of Hoody being Brian or Seth still stands. Although I used to strongly believe it was Seth due to TTA hints I now think it's Brian because of OOG reasons Confused it's a safe bet we'll know his identity by the end or at least get a strong pointer.

I feel Jay will die at the end, but instead of Jay leaving Tim in Rosswood, Tim will leave Jay wherever this showdown will be held. Tim and Jay could make up/out and Jay would tell Tim to run, leaving him to upload the videos afterwards. I feel Jay needs to be redeemed for his behavior. I have a feeling Tim could die, but not both. Alex could die. If he lives and the others die I can imagine it ending like 49 with him just disappearing, with him and the Operator still on the loose. It's an open ending, but one that MH could end with as nothing in this is ever tied up completely.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
people have been saying that the idea of "last chance" might be taken out of context and that it could mean something else, but if it wasn't supposed to mean the finale Jay wouldn't have re-enforced it with the "end this" text.

 		Hoody is Brian if any of the normal crew.

This arguing over who it is getting to the point of being a JFK-style conspiracy.

Lee Harvey Oswald did it. End of discussion.

Fifteen pages of off-topic bickering for a two minute video.

Everyone always credits the possibility of Hoody being Brian or Seth as "THEIR theory". Those 2 are THE most common guesses you could possibly make.

No, they're crediting THEIR theory of Brian or Seth being Hoody. A lot of people have a theory about one of those characters being Hoody, but several of them have slight differences.

I'm just gonna point out that almost all these theories identical but still attributed as "their theory".

In order to claim its your theory, you should have substantial differences besides who says it.

However I'm aware that enforcing the rule is A) impossible and B) completely pointless.

Spoilering because OT.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Because there's some magical "rule" to enforce.

If you sit down and read the theories, a lot of them are very very similar, but have different evidence and other very subtle differences, making them different theories. Just because they take similar paths to the saem conclusion doesn't make them the same theory. Even if the theories were exactly the same, if someone compiled a theory as to Hoody's identity without prior knowledge of someone else's theory, that would still make them someone's individual theories.


There is one thing that I simply cannot get over about this entry and that is: Why did Hoody give Jay the knife to cut himself free rather than the scissors?. I've heard some people say that the knife would have been easier to use, and then I've also heard the opposite. I can't help but feel that Jay was, yes, meant to use the knife to cut himself free, but then take it along to wherever he was going (probably 79 South Creek).

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm not advocating having a rule in place, indeed, I feel itd be the worst possible idea as a rule to enforce, I was just pointing out that nobody owns the theories as they are so similar and based off one another its all just one big theoremass)


And to answer your question, I actually tested this, and yeah, cutting yourself out of zip ties with a pair of scissors is insanely difficult. A knife is far easier, and, unbelievably, safer because your less likely to spend so long cutting you get angry and slip.

You could be right about Jay should have taken the knife with him, but lets face it, Jay has no chance in any form of close combat, itd be useless.

 		The only thing I got out of this entry was a really big laugh at Jay wriggling on the ground when Hoody walked in.

I have this mental picture of Hoody watching the entry and upon seeing Jay leave the knife behind, facepalms himself and is like "Dude, I told you to bring the knife! I didn't even make it hard to figure out this time!"

I can't see how you can cut yourself with scissors by slipping, especially with a pair where the blade isn't exposed like what was in the entry. I would honestly like to see a video of comparing scissors/knife (yes this is a big deal to me Laughing Laughing ) If he were tied with his hands in front of him, either one would be fine to use but his hands were tied behind his back. Scissors, the hardest part would be actually getting them in your hands the correct way to cut, a knife (a used, probably not well taken care of knife) the hardest part would be the cutting imo.

 		You might not cut yourself, but I can easily see someone stabbing themselves with scissors; especially if you can't see what you're doing.

Dude, wait what? Did you see the scissors? How could you possibly seriously posit that it would be more likely to sustain any kind of significant injury with those scissors than the huge knife Hoody chose instead? I personally don't see much risk in either implement, unless you were panicked and/or hysterical while attempting to free yourself... i.e. TO appeared in the room so you were rushing or unfocused. Since that didn't happen, I see no risk with either choice. Not to mention, the way Jay was bound, he could have gotten his hands back in front of him with relative ease.
