Ok, It's official. You guys are sick.

I was a few pages back and everyone's avatar had already changed, but no one was talking about it or saying anything.. i was seriously freaked out. Nice work Razz

Also, as much as i hate to say it, all signs seem to be pointing towards Alex being dead. Him and Jeff are my favorite characters by far, and i was trying to ignore the signs, but it all makes sense. With this last tweet and the video, they moved from foreshadowing something bad to outright saying it.

Man, things are getting crazy fast, endgame has gotta be getting close.

EDIT: i would edit the eyes out of my gif but i'm not sure how to edit it Confused

I think the poker/pinball reference might be valid, but I do think its them reminding us Hybrids that its their story and we should stop trying to control it. Because even though its an ARG they definitely have a distinct plan/direction.


Again, if they do have a plan, then I highly doubt anything we say or discuss is going to change that. I think we seriously need to take a step back and calm down about that. THEY are the ones fucking with OUR minds, remember, not the other way around.

Saw the tweet on my phone this morning but had breakfast plans before I could check in... spent the whole time wondering what the heck TILT could mean... glad to see that the rest of you have no clearer idea than me!

Check the wikipedia entry on pinball machines though:
wikipedia wrote:
When one of these sensors is activated, the game registers a "tilt" and locks out, disabling solenoids for the flippers and other playfield systems so that the ball can do nothing other than roll all the way down the playfield to the drain... Older games would immediately end the ball in play on a tilt. Modern games give tilt warnings before sacrificing the ball in play.


So... if this is suddenly a pinball game... are we on an older machine and have already lost our "ball?" Or a newer machine and this is a warning?

ETA: And also... am I imagining things or is there a pinball machine in the basement? I feel like it was visible in one of the ustreams but they keep crashing my browser so I can't check.

You guys, the meaning of "TILT" just became painfully obvious to me.

1) All throughout the series, Evan seemed the most likely to lose his shit sooner or later. This was proven when he started laughing when they found the bags of blood in the forest. This trait continues in the newer videos, such as in "Ashen Waste" or even in "Welcome To The Ark".
2) Also, I believe it was box #3 that was wrapped in purple tape. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Evan who had that color tape? This could possibly mean that Evan was experiencing "episodes", in which he takes the persona "Habit". During these episodes, he made and hid the boxes.
My point? Evan is Habit, and we've seen him have his episodes during the videos multiple times.

The meaning of "TILT" could reference some kind of power shift in the EMH universe. The Hybrids could lose Even to Slenderman for good, therefore "tilting" the playing field.
Then again, this is just my theory.

well, we've beaten the TILT theory to death!
Ah, if TILT has to do with favoring, I'm thinking Corenthal, because he is the one who favored his patients and his 'daughter'; or maybe soemthing someone else mentioned (pointless to list all theories i may/may not agree with).

as for tragic hero, i'm thinking it isn't jeff; mostly because it is TOO obvious, if it is, i suggest that it is only the most obvious meaning and that it applies elsewise. About how long after that text did we hear of linnie? the tragic hero and unattainable companion could be linnie/william.; if the continue? lines up right as well, it would be after dead girl was found. or maybe it's evan and damsel; which even seems to fit well with out nickname for her. i keep trying to fit vince into the tragic hero role, because he seems to be stoic and trying to be paragon while everyone else spirals down, but what/who would be his unattainable companion? or maybe we are the tragic hero (our actions lead to downfall) and all the emh crew are our unattainable companions, or even better our sanity?

something that i really wanted to point out about rabbits, it seems the use and application of the word has shifted before it was really only in applicance to the EMH crew (including damsel and alex and jessa), and it was really about mindgames/test subjects kind of thing, and now it seems to be much more about death and innocently chosing the wrong path and/or losing of innocence, and also has been directed at us.

I say this every time...

By what we've seen in videos, the boxes, bag, letters, etc...we have an influence. They're listening to us. Not always, not as often as we might think, but they are watching and listening to what we're going after. The best 'game master' will have a plan...but he deviates and adapts when his players move the game in a new direction. I will continue to hold to that theory about our involvement.

We are targets here. Whoever is leaving the mystery tweets and videos IS screwing with us. It doesn't mean we shouldn't look for things. TILT could mean we overstepped our bounds somewhere, or SOMEONE did. Cheated. Manipulated the game.

It could very well mean a power shift as well, yes...but I'm not sure I feel that's it. Evan has definitely been odd throughout the series, but that's a very obvious thing. I want to encourage you guys to look past the obvious...don't adhere to conformity of story. These guys have kept the videos and story interesting. Think outside the box. Get some new theories.

Pray it's just Sparky that ends up missing and not Alex. Focus on the clues we've got already, see if we can find something new.

@Soleil People cling to the newest theory until they exhaust it. It happens.

I don't think we've tried too many acronyms, mainly because nobody abbreviates anything TILT, but hopefully we'll get another update or tweet soon to clarify.

@Scion: Well maybe it also means we need to change how we're looking at it. You mention how we all have a tendency to beat the dead horse into a zombie, maybe this is a sort of subtle way of making us change direction?

Also, look up HRb1ng3r. There's a creepy vid of Alex and Jessa on there. Like, made from photos we've never seen before.

I copy and pasted this from a comment on the channel, I know thats idiotic but we should try everything.

Nnnooooo. We've argued about it already, we're pretty sure it's a gamejack.

The TILT may or may not be them telling us we failed to decode the morse message. Sad

I think this is probably true, or at least the message is related to something we still need to figure out. I know I go on about IS THIS A PUZZLE I THINK THIS IS A PUZZLE WE NEED TO SOLVE ALL THE PUZZLES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST, but really, this seems less like the earlier intentionally creepy ones and more like a direction.

I am not crazy enough to continue trying to figure out if there's morse code in the video. I clearly don't know enough and am too dumb to figure this out, if there is actually anything to figure out. I just think we should probably be looking for something we can find directly.

Can I hijack this again?

Just something else i'd like to point out- Going from the first occurrence of the bracketed text in slushpops-

The next video, self defense- it's the last of the fitness series. and other then a strange shot of evan sitting at the table... No weird editing or easter eggs.

Is it possible we're missing something here?

If I remember right the prevalent thinking around that vid was that it was more of a Chekov's rifle sort of thing where things were being introduced for later inclusion, like the knife and Evan's propensity towards physical violence. Not sure there was anything else to read into on it, but anything is possible.
