Hey I just thought of something.

What if the Operator that we've been seeing the whole time isn't actually slenderman? What if he's just one of slenderman's drones that was one of the criminals in the woods or something as discussed in entry 38? Slenderman might use the drones to capture people and bring them to hist nest/ark in the woods. Masky could be a slenderman drone too... I don't really know, but it's interesting.

is ttothearkk twitter a gamejack? Its been around for a while and tweets weird stuff. But to me it seems fake because the series has never mentioned it

[Zarggg]

if it's not directly mentioned in-game by a MarbleHornets video or the MarbleHornets Twitter account, it's guaranteed to be a gamejack.

I just noticed something:

Season 1: TTA's last video is Warning, and a little later Entry ###### is posted. Entry ###### is possibly posted by TTA. No other TTA videos are posted for over a year.

Season 2: TTA's last video (at least so far) is Sidetone. A little while later Enttry 37 is posted, possibly by TTA.

Might be nothing, but possibly a pattern?

EDIT: Even more interesting: Warning is posted right before Jay uploads a video of disturbing footage (teleportation entry). Right after Sidetone is posted, Jay tries to upload some disturbing footage, but can't for some reason.

I think alot of things still point back to the house from season one. In Entry##### masky seems to be behind the same blinds that were in the back of that house. There were numerous refrences to going home, and doors unopened in TTA videos. Including the distorted one with slendy walking behind those same blinds.

I still want to know where that stairwell downwards with that couch blocking it led. And what happened in that industrial basement area where Jay was teleported to and encountered slendy. Alex and Seth were down there when Seth disappeared so clearly its a location that they know how to get to, and something bad happened down there to make all that blood.

Maybe it is related to that concrete structure we saw Alex exploring in one of those clips where he got really close to the operator and saw the circle cross symbol on the ground. That concrete building is one of the only loopholes I really want to know about...

I have a theory regarding Exit. I hope it's okay to post it in here? I thought it'd be a little bothersome to bump up a thread from so long ago.

I'll start by stating my personal belief parameters: Alex is not totheark. Tim is not totheark, but does work with him. Less importantly: Brian is probably totheark (I think I'm going to stand by this theory until it's proven dead wrong).

So who filmed Exit? Today it occurred to me that whoever it was (I'm in the camp that believes Alex would not have had time) must have had a reason to do so. Jay did confirm that he and Alex were alone that day, right? So whoever was filming was already sneaking around, following the two of them. Who would have the motivation to do this? My answer would be someone who already knew what was going on, perhaps had already had an encounter with the Operator, or at least realized that it was stalking the cast and crew of Marble Hornets.

Exit and Entry #13 (at the bath house) must have been pretty early in production, since they are location scouting, and since Alex is acting normally. Also, he doesn't recognize the Operator symbol he finds on the ground (there's no visible or audible reaction). But he does recognize the Operator himself, enough to immediately run away from him. So this must be after #12, in which Alex approaches a strange figure on set as if it's just a tall human. My guess is that most of the people present in #12 either couldn't recognize the Operator for what it was due to Slender-perception-interference, or they immediately forgot about the experience due to Slender-amnesia. We don't see what happens after Alex walks over there, but TTA himself tells us (in the Impurity video - "There was more") that what happened next was important. I'm betting that this was the first time Alex realized that there was a scary supernatural figure stalking his set (again bolstered by Impurity - "begin"). AND, I'm betting that at least one other person did as well - and THAT would be the person who decided to discreetly follow Alex and Jay while they were out location scouting in #13.

So who would have recognized a scary supernatural being and decided to take some action? My best guess is Tim.

Real evidence: Tim was noticeably bothered by the Operator even before Alex was.

Entry #17 - Tim is standing in front of the window; the Operator is about one foot behind him, separated only by glass. Tim looks tired (rubbing eyes, leaning against the wall, etc.), and he asks for his trademark water. Jay is also affected here (cold), yet Alex is comfortable and does not even see the Operator.

Entry #20 - Again, Alex is acting normally, laughing with Jay, going over scripts. But Tim is already clearly affected by the Slender-sickness; he's irritable and aggressive, he's tired, he has a coughing fit, and he's carrying around his pills and his water. Again, this must still be pretty early in production, at least before Entry #9, judging by Alex's mental state.

Alex is fine - Tim is not. If anyone would have noticed that something was going on, my money's on Tim.

(Sidenote: And how was Brian during all of this? We have no idea because he's never there. After all, he was present on set in #12 and exposed to the Operator in #7, but we never see him again. He could have been just as affected as Tim, or he could have been trapped in Slendy-dimension for all we know.)

Speculative evidence: Tim's pills

It's been theorized by others on the forum (JKatkina, I believe?) that Tim is offered some degree of protection from the Operator's mindfuckery by his medication. Tim has a seizure in Entry #18. If Tim is epileptic, then his pills might be for epilepsy, and therefore might affect his brain's neurons in a way that make him immune to the Operator's influence. This could be the reason Tim became aware of the Operator so early.

[The reason this all doesn't make me think that Tim is TTA is a whole different debate, and one that's been had in several other threads (like Forecast). For now, this little theory just provides an indication of exactly how long Tim has been aware of the Slender-situation. Also, considering I used to assume that TTA filmed Exit (and I've never believed that Tim was TTA), it struck me as novel when I realized it was probably Tim. The idea of Tim filming and sharing footage with TTA also explains other TTA videos that feature footage presumably filmed by Masky (à la Addition and Return).]

tl;dr - Tim is most likely the person who filmed Exit. He did so because he was already aware of the Operator's presence and decided to investigate. He was on the defensive back then, because his health and mental state were being affected. The whole affair had probably been dormant after Alex left town until Jay started posting the videos. Tim and/or TTA saw the videos. They now work together on the offensive against the Operator. Tim is the legs of the operation - he films, acquires footage, and scares Jay off into the direction they need him to go. TTA makes the videos.

I realize this may have all been brought up before in older threads, but a lot of people have entered the fandom since then, myself included. So I thought it was worth bringing up again, especially considering recent developments and new speculation into TTA's identity.

WALL OF TEXT. I am so sorry... it was a slow day at work.

Very nice, YamiKami. I like.

So, this is more of a season 1 question, but I also don't feel like reviving an old thread for a simple question.

Is it pretty much agreed that The Operator appears in Entry 2 at about :52 when we see motion beneath the light that appears to be a head looking up and darting to the right? I know it'd be a bit tall compared to The Operator's usual height, but it seems too obvious to just be something random.
