No one solved TTA; If people are claiming to have done so, that's silly. But, what I think you're seeing, is that people generally believe TTA to be one thing or something else, or whatever. You're right in saying we can't know what something is until it's solved, hence we

Have to solve it. The only way to do any solving in a medium like this is by posing theories and trying to see if they can fit together coherently with what we've been given.

I'm very afraid of both Dray and JKat now. However, you guys would make a kickass crime fighting team.

My problem with the TTA = Masky = Tim theory is that Tim is seen in Messages. Would TTA really put himself in a video?

I see three options.

1. TTA = Masky = Tim, and he did put his own face in one of his videos, for whatever reason. Maybe he wants Jay to know who he is?

2. TTA = Masky =/= Tim. So what about the jacket? Maybe a coincidence, but I doubt it. Maybe TTA/Masky wants Jay (and us) to suspect Tim?

3. TTA =/= Masky = Tim. Jacket evidence is saved! And what reason do we really have to believe that TTA is Masky? Because Jay says so?

All three are possible, but 3 makes most sense to me. If control is being "taken away" from Jay, maybe it's already been taken away from Tim? In other words, Tim is Masky, but is being controlled by TTA.

The only reason that if they're all three of them the same person, there'd be a picture of Tim at the end of Messages, it'd probably be because he was saying 'you've been keeping secrets'.... and then, the unspoken part, 'so've I. Here's a hint as an act of good faith.' OR, on the other hand, 'here's a hint so that you can be terrified of even more people now. '

Sorry for offending you -- I had picked it up and had it stuck in my mind since, as you mentioned, it's kind of an embarrassing and demeaning term, and I like to make fun of myself for being so crazy-obsessed with picking apart details. I really didn't mean to use it to offend other people or demean them, just myself...

which looking back on it, is pretty silly and still not a good excuse.

Never the less, consider it purged!

Hello. With regards to "Regards":

The message given is obviously "Look Closely". Since it was in response to #9, I did what any sensible rational person would do and sat staring at the screen like a 'tard for several playthroughs.

First of all, there seems to be something odd going on with the contrast. That could just be due to the lighting conditions, but the level of brightness behind the gazebo at some points is unusual, especially when compared to the people in the foreground.

Secondly, there's an easy-to-miss point which I'd think would be almost too minor if it wasn't for the fact Marble Hornets is being made by film students. Around 0.42, Tim lights up a cigarette. Fair enough. However, he's still smoking after they "resume" shooting.

This is the kind of thing that would make editing footage a nightmare later on, as it would disqualify a lot of takes from being used due to elementary continuity errors.

Jump forward to Entry #20, in which we see that J is actively involved in the project, and even has a specific role: He's the script supervisor. The script supervisor's main job is basically to meticulously note every page of the script and every take shot to ensure that the footage obtained is fit to be edited together for the final product. which means a lot of looking out for elementary continuity errors (such as a magically appearing/disappearing cigarette).

TLDR: The script supervisor's role is vital to the smooth running of a production, and as a result they are very rarely (if ever) off set when shooting takes place.

With all that in mind, where's J in Entry #9? Nobody remarks on his absence, which is unusual given that everyone (especially Alex) is on edge and bickering about how badly things have been going. It looks like not only has J dropped off the earth by this point, but nobody else seems to be aware that he's missing.

So we're ruling out that the Stigma/Sigma on Tim's shirt could be what we are looking closely for?
