Re: Attempt to transcribe 12

Hey, guys. Just dropped in from Metafilter.

Here's an attempt to transcribe 12. I couldn't quite tell what some of the phrases were, but this seems mostly correct:

A: Ah, I dunno. He'll move. (in response to something like 'what is that guy doing there?')
A: Let's go ahead and get the shot. It is so hot.
A (to girl?): Right, we have the camera cut. Just get set to control it, and we'll be out of here in a moment,
?: Are you in line (? are there any lines? are you doin it live? are you doin any lines?)
A: Not in this part. We're just uh, walking to the river and that's when you guys will start picking up (?). Then you guys will start picking up, so KZZT just follow us as we're crossing the screen.
G: All right.
?: (question masked by static)
A: I hope so
A: And that's about as far as we're gonna go. We don't want (tagging people?)
Camera pans
A: (that repress?)
A: Ohp! Kristen (!? -- as in don't pan over that far? could be Here's Tim)
A: (probably about SM:) Alright ah, let's get him off the (as in out of the frame)
A: I hope he's not angry at us... Hey, buddy!
G: What is he doin'?

Woah, somehow I missed the Mediafilter link. Nice to see from where you come! *adds MediaFilter to the wiki*

Anyway, I just added your transcript to my own and now the transcript on the wiki is greater than the sum of its parts! Very Happy

Hai gaiz. Been following this passively for a while.

Totheark posted a video response to entry 12. Looks like the responses are getting a bit more complex.

I sent a message to totheark last night asking whether J could be trusted. My reasoning being J's recent bouts of insomnia and illness showing a possible SM infection. Trust me the idea seemed more inspired and coherent at the time. I got a response from him today.

human, therefore no


Not sure what to make of it other than he's using the spacebar now. Could tot be the non-human SM?

Just realized, if in the Impurity vid response Entry 12 tot tells us "There is more", and his response to me was J can't be trusted. I'm thinking J lied to Dav about Entry 12 ending as suddenly as it did.

I interpreted it as him saying "no you can't trust J because he's human".

sorry, pls ignore. *skulks off to lurk more*

someone should fire J a message on if there was anymore after 12, and if he has tried communicating with totheark like some of us.

I actually messaged J awhile ago, and he never got back to me. I guess I could always try again.

I think this means that totheark thinks J can't be trusted, because J is human. I also think that totheark is not SM, because i just can't imagine SM sitting in front of a computer; so I think totheark is human himself, but something scared him so much that he went completely paranoid and doesn't trust any other human anymore.
So totheark could be Alex, or someone different altogether. This is in my opinion more likely than him being SM. SM just would have no reason to post any of these weird videos. Of course we don't know SM's motives (if he has any), but showing us cryptic videos just doesn't sound like him to me. (that would reveal his motives and therefore he would lose some of his eerieness (because we then know something about him), so he couldn't scare his victims that much anymore.)

okay, so just my 2 cents (and 1st post by the way!) I'm not much of a puzzle solver myself, but i guess i can see a pattern in a narration when there is one.

I've been "analysing" some audio, and there is one constant between J's vidz and totheark vidz : the left track systematically has less gain, while most of the distortion and artefacts (like the voices heard in tot videos) are present on the right channel only.
This seems to indicate that these audio tracks do have a common origin, whether they have been shot with the same equipment (although why would a film student go around shooting his project with a botched mic?) or have suffered the same (paranormal?) treatment.

Also, as narrative value goes, diverging stereo tracks always ring the "brain lobes" / "schyzophrenia" bell for me... This is stressed by the fact that, as someone said earlier, tot has started responding when J started being sick, as if it were a consequence of J being affected by the tapes. and now J seems as eager as we are to see tot's responses, which just sounds... off... (i mean, he said it was sarting to be innerving earlier).
Other point : if the tot audio is confirmed to be part of the cut-out audio from the regular entries, doesn't this taste like a psychanalytic pattern? i mean, crucial info popping up in a weird/distorted/cryptic form... and the "THERE IS MORE" message, indicating more psychological repression...

also,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
totheark is definitely alex Twisted Evil

nah just kidding, i don't have much proof for that...

This is possible, though I think it's more likely that J can't be trusted--not because totheark doesn't trust humans but rather because this is not something a human could fully understand. This possibility even works if totheark is Alex (a human) because he does fully understand it but only because he lived through it and he knows that J didn't.

The short version, then is this: Humans cannot fully understand the terror that is the Slender Man, and because J is human he cannot understand it therefore his judgment is suspect.

Just a jab into the dark

Ok, We know ever little other then that we are missing something from the previous entries. But, we can assume one thing Totheark is well aware of slender man. The possiblity of him being Alex is there but, he told J to never mention this to him agian and that he hasn't even heard from Alex for three years. Totheark could be involved in another way. BTW has anyone mentions Just Another Fool to either Totheark or J? I believe it could open new avenues of this story.

There's something in the audio of the impurity video (maybe the others too?). Downloaded it through vid2mp3 and did some work with audacity (reduced the white noise etc.). Still have no idea what it is, coz I'm not a pro.

edit: I'm quite sure it's speech

edit: maybe someone could continue with this?
