Let's hope we DON'T find out too much about Slenderman. I would hate to have that particular mystery killed for me.

This.

Other than that, I hope the Last Gent is wrong and they actually do know what they're doing Razz

Yeah, Slenderman is unknowable. Even the creators themselves do not know him in entirety.

I'm not feeling that the MH crew is lost in their plot. I found these vids to be a lot less confusing I guess. My questions were, who is TTA, who is Masky, what do they want, what happened to Alex and why did he leave?
I now know (according to how I'm seeing it) that TTA is Seth, who died(?) at the hand of Slendy, which drove Alex into leaving. Masky is Tim, who is trying to protect Jay. Seth just wants everyone to know what happened, especially to him.

I'm good.

totheark is Seth who died? How does that even make sense? Seth died (maybe) 3 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he did die, but as usual we don't have any definitive clues that such is what happened.

My question then is how could a guy who died 3 years ago be posting youtube videos?

seth could totally be on youtube, uploading videos.

alex only said he was gone.
if someone you were investigating with got attacked, how fast would you book it out of there?

they may not have actually been that close, you know.
i'd ditch someone i didn't know to entirely well if it meant my insides stayed inside me.

just because something attacked him doesn't mean he died, he could have just been gravely injured, or slenderized, or something like that.

edit: god damn this is skippier than rocks on a pond.
my general point was that they may not have been to close, despite the fact that he was all alex had left.

from the tape, it looked like alex yelled his name when he saw him fall or get attacked or whatever, and then he probably ran off to go back home.

Jay needs to go back to the house, during the daytime this time. That's where Alex is at the end of the tape, and he said he was leaving. If that's the case, there may be some kind of clue where he's gone. And if Masky or TTA shows up? Even better.

My current comprehensive MH theory:

When Alex said they were "gone" he meant mentally. Jay and Tim didn't remember anything that happened. We already saw evidence of that. I think that Alex meant gone as in they were no longer the people he knew and got close to while dealing with Marble Hornets and Slenderman.

In that sense, Jay and Tim would be some of the first to be "gone" because they had stopped remembering things fairly early into Marble Hornets production. Seth, on the other hand was still "with" Alex until the attack in the basement of wherever they were. This would explain why Seth (TTA) has a video of Jay, Alex wanted to find out where his friend was mentally and make sure he wasn't doing something slendery. After the attack Seth was "gone." Perhaps Tim (as Masky) and Seth lost their minds a little more than Jay and/or started to remember things. Maybe Seth had some video footage that Alex didn't have (since they both had their own cameras as stated by Tim) which caused him and Tim to remember.

Edit: I just had a thought that Alex, Brian, Tim, Seth, and Jay might have been working out of Brian's house and all living together while they investigated SM. That would explain the "gone"...they didn't live there or investigate with Alex anymore because they either forgot or things started to get worse. That would explain why Seth and Tim still work out of that house. I still think someone shot Brian though.

Tim and Seth then move into Brian's house where SOMETHING happened (Brian died?) and set up a base of operations. Tim and Seth have an agenda (they were either brainwashed by Slendy and are trying to get to Jay and break him down mentally or they are trying to save him by showing him what is going on) and with Seth as TTA and Tim as Mask they are working together to complete this agenda.

With Brian presumably dead and Tim, Seth, and Jay our major players that leaves 2 questions. Where is Sarah and where is Alex? I cannot answer the first (maybe Sarah married slenderman? (just kidding ladies I'm sure SM is single)) but Alex went back to where he grew up. When he was around 8 years old he encountered Slenderman (following the SA mythos) began to see a psychologist/was committed, and afterward changed schools because they thought it was the area messing with him. It wasn't any better here and so he went back to where it began because he had some ties there. The last tape was made and so he had a video record of his summarization of the events around the marble hornets set. The rest of the tapes were going to be burned because they were too painful.

The other things that we have major questions about (ie the pipe) don't play a large enough role to continue to be brought up in the series. They were put in there to show SM's power over video and to scare the ever loving crap out of us.

Endgame will be one of three things. One, Alex comes back/Jay gets in contact with Alex, Alex explains everything and Jay and Alex either perform a ritual to resolve things, disappear together, or just realize that no matter what happens they are screwed. Two, Jay finds out where Alex and Seth went and goes there; the last video is a TTA response of Jay being killed by Tentacles while Tim either tries to help fight them off or kneels in worship of SM (or does something like hold SM's hand while Jay is slaughtered...you get the picture). Finally three, Jay goes back to Brian's house and confronts Seth and Tim; the last video is a TTA response showing Mask killing Jay with Slenderman in the background.

Jay will not survive this, you cannot stop Slenderman.

In any case, that's my theory, kind of ties everything together. Let me know what you think.

I'm definitely thinking Seth and Tim have more to add to the story (if they haven't already been doing so).

I've assumed Seth [Unnamed Camera Guy] is TTA and Tim is Masky for reasons previously discussed.

But this game reveals little and seems one of those things where it's folly to assume plot lines.

Still that's not going to stop me trying. Very Happy

I just had a thought. What if the video (Entry #22) wasn't as recent as it seems?

What if Seth being attacked was actually when he BECAME totheark and we witnessed his humble beginning?

Note how Alex said that Seth and his camera were both missing. That could be when Seth went rogue and eventually evolved into totheark. He could have been the one filming Jay with his camera in "Exit" and would also naturally have access to the footage as a camera "operator". How else would Alex have the tape? Seth might have given it to him in the building, who knows? Alex doesn't remember it. Obviously the footage stopped there. It would be weird if Alex just took the tape from his camera and left him there to die. It seems like if everything was as fucked up as we were led to believe, Alex would just run away.

However, from the video, despite the loud distortion, Alex seems unaware of whatever attacked Seth. He just saw him fall and was asking him if he was alright.

Maybe his encounter in the abandoned building completely psychologically fucked him up, but he lived and we witnessed the birth of totheark, not the death. We have no idea what happened after the tape got pandaface'd. Anything could have happened and there is no video evidence of it. Thus, no one, not even Alex knows. Only totheark/Seth would know.

I don't think totheark is dead. I think he knew what Alex did with the tape and led Jay to its location.

On the scene of background information on Alex, I sent J a message asking him if there were ever any videos [like, from college or before] of Alex that he hasn't thought of. Slenderman could have been stalking him for longer than he knew.

It doesn't seem 'recent' to me. This whole 'Marble Hornets' filming deal went down three years ago IG, correct? Alex gave Jay the tapes and got the hell out three years prior to what takes place now, from what I understand.

Alex says at the end of #22 that he's going home to burn the tapes.
Jay says in the introduction video that Alex was going to burn the tapes, but he convinced him not to, and to give them to him.

In my mind, Entry #22 is right before he gave them to Jay.

I think all of totheark's videos need to be seriously looked at... because I think those hold a lot of the answers, I mean no one had yet to solve the majority of them? also did anyone ever think that jBdzj!zö&&+555n?21 was another puzzle to be solved?

I am in agreement with this.
And a dead/hurt Seth posting on youtube is no less far fetched than this WHOLE thing.

Hmm... if I don't get a new vid soon I might go insane though.

This is actually what I think too, where the tape lies in the timeline. I was replying to the people who have been saying that this tape was recently made (TTA dying would have to be within the last two weeks unless he's immortal or a ghost or something), just worded my sentence poorly. If you check out my posts near the end of the trailhead thread, I back up what you said.

But recently a lot of people have been suggesting that this is a tape featuring Alex coming back again after realizing that he couldn't escape by moving on and that's what I was referring to when I said "as recently as it seems". But contrary to TTA/Seth getting killed, I think it might be when he first got all tothearkey.

You guys make a good point. Unless someone put the tape there instead of TTA. I really don't know what to think in this part of the series.
