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


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.

 		When he says "going home" it makes me think he's somewhere else, after he bailed from where Jay is. He's heading back to his old house and finding Jay to end it all, maybe.

He does seem out of options.

 		"Not sure why totheark has been so quiet. I may be on my own for a while."

Does this mean that TTA is gone or finished with his job?

 		Will everyone stop with the crazy unfounded theories of what alex meant by using the word gone, god its frickin crazy you guys and these wacked out theories

Its plain and simple, they were with alex and when he woke up alone in the house they were gone, gone as in NOT THERE.

Please stop with the ridiculous conspiracy theories of what he meant by the word gone and then going onto a tangent theory with absolutely no basis.

We should stick to the facts and just solely weed out the inconsistencies which further our knowledge into the definitive known, speculation, and unknown

Maybe he's waiting for us to do something?

 		Can we debunk a particularly wide-spread fallacy here? Since the beginning of this thing, we've thrown out TTA suspects based upon their ability to film things and upload the content to YouTube. Given that one of the underlying themes of the game (give me a fuckin' break, I've got a useless BA in English and I'll take any excuse to use it) seems to be a synthesis of technology and the supernatural, a sort of imposition of the rules of traditional horror stories on our increasingly net-centric world, is it so impossible to conceive that a supernatural entity is causing the videos to appear on YouTube? We're not talking about Casper the Friendly Ghost fucking around with a digital Samsung and Final Cut Pro. I'm suggesting that a supernatural entity could indeed manipulate technology in such a way as to cause the videos to spontaneously upload without the use of camera or editing equipment. It would not be the first time, using the logic already set forth in the game world, that a boogie man has had some effect on technology.

 		Question:Who in the blue hell is Seth and what video was he mentioned in. I'm out of the loop and can't follow cause of this.

You're absolutely right and I agree wholeheartedly.

However, the style of the more recent totheark videos disagrees with that, what with the video being taken from outside sources and spliced together. If it was all distorted video and strange messages and first-person video as in the response to 16 (I'm including Exit as being from an outside source, since Alex took it 3 years ago).

I think it's much more likely that Tim is totheark as we've seen.

Seth is the cameraman of Entry 22. We assume that he is also the cameraman seen in Entry 5.

Good point, actually. I thought of that myself, and I do agree that Tim still seems the most likely suspect. It's just a personal peeve of mine when avenues of inquiry are shut down prematurely. Plus, I like to keep you guys on your toes Razz

so...in the end we know nothing about who Masky or TTA really are. I wish there was a real #23 post...

Exactly. In the end we know absolutely nothing. It's starting to piss me the fuck off too. Unless...have you guys ever felt that we're missing the bigger picture here? I don't necessarily mean counting the number of distortions, multiplying it by 42, then adding the sine of frog+Slenderman's age to a TTA video. I mean that there's been something subtle throughout this series that we've all been collectively missing? It's hard to believe, since there's a good deal of us here, but when we're all thinking on the same certain avenues as each other, I think it's possible. As to what it could be...no idea. Razz

Now, I think J's only real lead is that god-damned house. It doesn't hurt to go back and reexamine old evidence, and he still hasn't gone through all the house yet. (Although personally, I'd be scared shitless of going anywhere near that house)

Masky is Tim, holy dick. Either that, or Masky mugged Tim and took his jacket.

I'm still really really sceptical about Seth being totheark. It doesn't make any sense at all. TTA is probably either Masky, or some character that hasn't been introduced yet.

As for when Entry 22 took place, it's obvious that it happened three years ago. No more theories about it happening last tuesday or whatever.

Because, they both can't shop at the same department store and have the same taste in clothing.

I doubt it too. Seth wasn't really talked about at all until 23. There isn't enough proof to show that Seth is TTA. Who knows, it could be another victim of Slendy. He wouldn't just follow Alex. Alex was the only one filming. There are probably other cases of people getting freaked out by the Slender man. One of them could be Totheark.

When asked if Jay could be trusted
"human, therefore no"

This might mean that totheark doesn't know Jay personally but wants to help him. He might be so F-ed up by Slendy that he can't outright explain how to right SM.

Yes, I've maintained a similar theory intermittently through the duration of the thing. Well, technically my idea was that there was some sort of entity inside the digital media that has a hand in all of this. This would explain something of the distortion, that it occurs due to a reaction or outburst from this entity. Otherwise, it seems pretty random, what with the distortion appearing over Masky, who appears to be otherwise human, and with no other rhyme or reason applied. The distortion could indeed have little to do with water bottles, Masky, or even Slendy himself, but something that behaves like the sentient computer virus from hell.

The theory has little to no backing at this point, but it is still something interesting to contemplate.

Also, I must commend you on your phrasing. Quite brilliant, if you ask me.
