Pretty much IS the protagonist, the way that you see people here fawning over him. X3

Agreed about Jay very likely getting killed off at some point; I think that's one of the reasons that I'm rooting for him to survive. "I know you're probably not going to make it, but I'm cheering for ya!" Actually... that probably makes it one of the more interesting stories in this genre. >_> Usually I remove my empathy for the protagonist from the get-go because I know they're going to cark it. The fact that I can't tell if these guys are following traditional story lines makes it hard to remove myself from the craziness!

Kinda like how when watching a horror movie, you brace yourself to not get attached to the cute and funny black guy, because you KNOW he's fucked.

Then if he lives, your mind is BLOWN.

And yeah, I have no idea what they're doing here with MH. D: I mean you have a plot line that started three years before our protagonist finally got around to showing up, you have no clue at this point who's been picked off by the monster, if at all, or even what said monsters intentions are! And then you got Sideburns McAwesome suddenly showing up in his bedroom at all hours of the night. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE, WHAT IS THIS. And then you question the intent of the series and your own sanity all night long because man, they screwed with your head.

_{Has it been mentioned enough times yet that these guys are GENIUSES?}

You and I are in complete agreement, I think. I need to get back to the tegaki because there are more drawings to be had.

Arrgh anyways, back on topic.

Seems likely that with this show being on the road for the last three years, in character, it would make sense that they'd bring things to a head and wrap things up pretty soon.

(I don't remember if I posted this already. I blathered it at JKat so maybe I didn't get this far. If I DID then smack me a good one... I already repeat myself enough as is!)

It'd be interesting if Tim was searching for Brian the way that Jay is searching for Alex. XD Tim's just... searching in a performance art sort of way while Jay's searching in an investigative vlogging sort of way? I don't even know. D:

Anyone related to Marble Hornets could become our Main character.

The account name is Marble Hornets.

And I'm pretty sure Jay knows shit is going down so he made his password guessable for anyone with knowledge of the script.

Wait... *Facepalm* Could this be how entry ##### got uploaded?

I'll have to mull it over, BurritoX...but from the moment I read that (less than 60 seconds ago!) it sort of clicked and made scads of sense to me. Very very nice idea!

I don't have any specific feeling, from Jay himself, that he has any suspicions of who Masky or TTA are, but if your idea is right, this could help him to narrow the list of suspects.

Kudos to you, again!!

And, _*mmmh!* didn't anyone like my suggestion that the script foretells the story of the game now, and that a forest fire might be the endgame showdown site?

And, Dray, thanks a lot for your encouragement. I like your new avatar a lot. BTW, if you didn't repeat yourself sometimes, I'd be surprised, at the astonishing rate you're posting at!

Beware the ides, everyone!
Hey, does the Operator symbol resemble a crosshairs to anyone??

It's probably something like "stonebees" or something.

Forest fire... it might have something to do with something, but them recreating a forest fire would be difficult. Maybe the crew accidently burned something down and that's how they ticked off Slendy?

Also the operator symbol always looks more like the X-Men logo to me. (...Oh my god, Slendy is Charles Xavier pre-wheelchair. EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW.)

How to do a forest fire, and how would it work?

Our cast can't fight slendy at all, and the only option I would see is *OMG THERE HE IS IN A FOREST. LET'S START A FIRE*

It would be a lame death for slendy, although maybe the only possible good ending.

But still I doubt slendy would die, he would get more rage out of it and eat however did the fire thing.

Maybe how alex got fucked over in the first place, alex tried to do a "test" forest fire and slendy got all "My forest, meanie."

And would explain why Jay only get's stalked by Maskie and not by slendy. He wasn't there to start the fire, it was always burning since the world's been turning~

Thanks, Smokey the Bear...

Ummmmm...yeah, you're right, Mops. These guys are going for low-budget effects and such (but some high-end creativity). Don't see them staging a huge raging fire and people burning to death. But it could be in the story at a time when nobody had a camera available. . .

That is a sweet avatar, Mops. I like your work!

I think that we should show those symbols--the 's' and the operator symbol, etc.--to Indiana Jones. He knew all about Tanis.
And he was sure about that picture of the Ark of the Covenant, too. Quick, before he retires!

Anyhow, we now know that "totheark" should be read, or is suitable to be read, as "to the ark" as opposed to "Tot, Hear K!" That's progress, right...?

I'm assuming a new entry will be posted soon. Hotels have internet and I'm assuming Jay is still filming himself. Maybe we will get some hotel footage?

What Was Said

In regards to the message delivered in the video...and I haven't read all twenty-six pages of this discussion, so forgive me if it's already been brought up, but-

At the end of the message, when it says, "You will lead me to the ark", you'll notice that he pauses a bit between "lead me" and "to the ark". You know how, when delivering a letter, the letter will end with "sincerely comma person", but sometimes it may just end with the person's name instead of a sincerely.

What I'm getting at is, what if one were to look at it like this:
"We will wait for you no more. Control is being taken away from you. From the start it's been a game for us. Not anymore. I'm coming for you, and you will lead me. Totheark."

What if he's just letting us know that it's totheark posting, so that we wouldn't have to speculate on it? I know it's far-fetched, but I'm just trying to look at it from every possible angle. I mean, it could be a possibility, couldn't it?

Chances are that it's probably both. If his name is also his objective, then that would stand to reason. It has been discussed at length, and I think that people had settled on 'you will lead me to the ark' as opposed to 'you will lead me. -totheark' But really, why waste a chance for a double entendre?

Ah, okay. I just thought about it last night when I was listening to the video again, and I couldn't remember if the exact topic had been discussed.

All these videos have me going back to see if there are things that could be found that haven't been found yet. I haven't found anything this engaging for me since LG15.

Though it IS starting to take a toll on my sleeping patterns. Haha. Confused

Tell me about it. One night I found myself scared to death by the silence surrounding the room I was in, expecting someone to appear behind me. And last night I thought I heard someone breaking in, and even though my dogs weren't going crazy about it, I was very suspicious.
