He's not played by different actors all the time, I made a post about this before, link: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1023367#1023367

Also, this isn't the school Alex, Jay, Brian, and Tim went to, it's the school Alex transferred to after canceling Marble Hornets, to be with Amy. He talks about transferring in Entry #71, and Tim theorizes that that's the college in Entry #77, plus it's near Tim's house meaning it's in the town around Rosswood where Amy lived, not in the town they were originally in.

...Operator, why did you bring that up here? The entry was two weeks ago and this isn't its thread. This is the TTA vid's thread. (Not trying to be hostile, just saying, this isn't the right place.) But that said...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Can I just ask something? Why does no one consider that just because they *sometimes* have someone stand in for Hoody doesn't automatically mean that they *always* have someone stand in for Hoody? Why is it that in no entry thread does anyone postulate that maybe Hoody is being played by his proper actor?

I'll admit, the analysis of body types does often seem to plausibly work, but we have no definitive proof of who's playing Hoody in any entry. He coulda been played by Bruce in some entry, for all we know.

Now, what would make me happy is two things:

1. Dhawk was nice enough in this post to provide a few examples of where Troy did *not* say that Hoody is played by multiple actors OOG. So if there is anywhere where he *did* say that, can someone please link it or, if it's on the DVD, transcribe it?

2. Could we possibly (in the Hoody thread or the OT thread or something, not here) have a compilation of images from all his appearances? It would be a very nice reference for trying to determine who played him when and how many entries, if any, he could have been played by someone other than Trosephim in. None of this would in any way help IG discussion, but it could be interesting.

Pentagram you guys.. Surprised



Nevermind me,im out of ideas and waiting for the decode people to show up,allthough i think we have decoded the tweets already,but the quadrant code is still unsolved Sad

Thanks to all the folks who acknowledged the image I posted.I was curious about if that face would fit over Amy's,so I screen grabbed both and layered one on the other,with the top faded out and I was actually surprised how well it fit,because at a casual glance,it seems like the features would be too round.But,regardless if it's meaningful,it's creepy as fuck,so I wanted to share it with you guys Shocked
Also,I too noted that the first person in this video has long hair and breasts and at first thought it was maybe Jessica.After watching Entry #26 again when I got the screenie,I am more inclined to think it's Amy.Which is significant because I never figured she was anything more than a plot device in #26,but now,ever since we saw the footage of Alex talking to her and mentioning transferring schools and her pic being in the attic,it seems far more likely that she is more significant.
Also,Censura-Umbra I kind of agree with you that the words and tones sound like it may be Alex trying to soothe Amy (your description made me truly laugh out loud "Don't make me get the rock!" Laughing
I am really digging all this activity of late and am hoping like the rest of you that we get an entry very soon!

Alrighty, let's get back on track, shall we? We should be trying to solve this puzzle, so we need people to tackle it from multiple angles. Some try the keyboard clue (which I personally am trying to do at the moment), and some try to come up with something else. We need to work together to finish this. I really don't want to have another tta video go unsolved.

So,with that said: One thing I thought was interesting was that the Quadrant code has a blue background. Blue is representative of many things..including water (recurring theme), the sky, sea etc. I'm not sure if this really has anything to do with it, but it's interesting. I googled 6c9 and found a website that has to do with color encryption and stuff..again, probably nothing, but very cool.
The code in quadrant has 1 character, 3, 3 then 4..and also why are there 3 numbers and the rest are already letters? Do we somehow change the numbers to letters (most likely) or do we need to use the letters and numbers to result in a different code?
I've also tried combining some of the codes, but nothing has come out of it.
Well, that;s it for now, I'm going to keep trying to figure this out, if we're even supposed to.

P.S: That picture looks to me like Alex and it's just the contrast that makes it look like a female..but I can also see how it looks like a female..but I guess we'll find out.

(Also posting this on the twitter forum since it is relevant in both.)

So they confirmed it OOG. The code is solved. Now, everyone hug and make out-- err make up.

When I first saw "AM I THE THIRD" flash on screen, I immediately thought back to one of the recent TTA videos (Conversion?) when it said, "WHO ARE THE LIARS? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? ARE YOU BOTH OF THEM?"

"AM I THE THIRD?"

It may not make too much sense given the context of the earlier quote, but it's at least a different take on that portion of the video.


I think this is an interesting interpretation, and regardless of whether it aids in the code, it has substance. There are, of course, other ways to understand the mention of THIRD, but I find it peculiar that it's phrased as a question: AM I THE THIRD. As thought he has to depends on Jay or someone else to know for certain.

ROFL! Confirmed. Man a lot of people I didn't expect would do so really made an ass of themselves. Let's get past it now, but man, had to comment on the silliness. Also thank you Troy, if you are reading, for solving that absurd argument.


I just thought back to my days in multimedia class in high school learning PhotoShop... Is C9C6 a color code? I thought they were 6 digits... Probably not related anyway. Let's keep pushing toward a solution here people. I think it is almost certainly a keyboard code now. Try shifting the numbers and letters 5 spaces away on a traditional old-school keyboard, since it flashed 5 times?

It cannot be shifted in any obvious way to the left or right, as even shifting it by one makes each of the codes contain a symbol (if right, M goes to , and if left, 1 goes to `). So I would say abandoning a simply lateral shift method of decryption.

Color codes are 6 hexadecimal digits, or more specifically 3 sets of 2 where each set of 2 represents red, green, or blue. C6C9 could technically represent either the green and blue numbers, or the red and green numbers, but I don't know if that would lead us to any particular solutions...

What about shifting 5 spaces in a certain pattern, like a knight in chess but more spaces? Like not just horizontal or vertical but a bit more creative than that. The numbers would be key to working this out, because in the end you wanna not have any numbers, just letters. Also repeating characters, like the C - focus on that because that character would be used twice with 1 digit between and that limits the possibilities due to English language restrictions with spelling.

I'm a bit slow to the party, but, that audio someone posted with the voices made me think of an earlier Marilyn Manson song where he would chuck stuff like that in it, or maybe Nine Inch Nails. Also that blue at the end looks like the default blue for a windows computer. But that might just be me.

As for solving the puzzles, I suck at these TTA ones. So I'm just gunna let everyone else solve it. Also whoever said Troy said we solved it he was just confirming the tweet was related to the video. At least that's how I interpreted it

No. Twisted puppet specifically asked if the video was related and linked to the video. Troy said yes, it was.

Hi,

although I'm not very experienced on this, I'd like to throw my thoughts on the wall here:

„I am the third."

The third what? Possible Thirds I can think of are:

a) The third mask. After Masky and Hoody, Totheark reveals himself to be a third mask, previously not seen in any video (except that early tta-entry with the speculated 4 masks) This would imply that TTA and Hoody are different entities, although Hoody is afaik the top favorite for being TTA atm.

b) The third victim. Another popular theory is that Brian is Hoody, since both Jay and Tim have been seen together with Hoody. Brian seems also to be the third victim of Alex, which would nicely fit with the Brian = Hoody = TTA theory. (I thought that I've read that Brian was the third victim of Alex, though when I re-checked the timeline, I couldn't find that.)

c) The third Male. Didn't know how to name this one, but there are actually 3 male humans on the playing field we have conformation of right now: Alex, Tim and Jay. Therefore, TTA would conform that he is one of them.

d) The third face. Maybe this is another persona of a character who has already split personae. For example Tim, who switches between Masky and Tim (although mostly Tim, lately) has a third persona, which likes to post videos on youtube. Of course, this could also be Hoodys third persona.

d) There is no third, this message is just a cipher. It has been mentioned that this could relate to the title and therefore refer to the third quadrant. We don't know, however, anything about quadrants so far. Best guess I've read is that the operator symbol, the crossed O, is divided in four sections, aka. Quadrants.

e) There is no third, this message is just red herring.

Two things I'd like to point out: First, the image that is haunting me most (quite literally) from this tta-entry is the grinning, white face visible at 0:23 – right before "Who am I" appears. Is this the face of Totheark? And if not, whose face is it? Faces seem to be very important, since TO has none and the masked people don't show one. If this is TTAs face, do we know him or is he a completely new person? Is this a disfigured face of some person we know? A disfigured Brian, a disfigured Tim? I'd like to add that this face reminds me of one face from "Inquiry" - the one you can see at 0:45 and that is – I think – believed to be a distorted image of Tims face. Anyone ever seen a similar face?
Second I'd like to mention my personal favorite for the person behind TTA is Jay. What Masky is to Tim, and probably Hoody is to Brian, that is TTA to Jay. That would explain things like the fact that often when Jay get's a decent exposure to TO, TTA seems to be taking over his channel or twitter. Or, if TTA does take over, Jay then has at the same time some short or longer periods of amnesia, like around enttry #37. I know it's a bit iffy, but while this leaves the face rather unexplained (no way that face is Jay), It would nicely align with option a), that TTA is the third masked man in the body of Jay. When Masky was the "muscle" of the team, very aggressive and the one carrying Jessica out of the hotel, Hoody seems more like the sneaky, stealthy part of the team. TTA then is the "brain" of the team, or at the least the guy responsible for the technical stuff like twitter and youtube. OR TTA is still the hole of those three, with Jays persona yet to be named. This would explain why TTA is sometimes referring to himself as "we", and some other times as "I".

So much for my thoughts on this "I am the third." thing. Hope I didn't made any grave errors, because I only recently caught up on Marble Hornets. But if I did, feel free to correct me or point out my mistakes. I hope at least I can get some ideas rolling with this rather long post.

Regards,
Asca

ps. when I quickly checked the thread before posting, I saw Ahntar dug up another possibilty for the third:

f) The third liar. There is at least one person that TTA and Hoody are calling out to be a liar, and one entry asked whether Jay(?) is both of them. Which leaves room for a third liar. Doesn't see yet how that does fit with the rest of my options. Maybe you people working on the code have more at hand.
