 		So, trying to keep this on the topic of this specific entry, lets recap on some major points:

1. Jay wandered into the forest on a whim, or trying to see why Alex asked him to be there.

2. Visual/Audio tearing occurred before Jay was at the chimney-tree

3. Slendy shows up face to face with Jay. Notably after Jay inspects the chimney-tree.

4. Jay books it, dropping some bricks along the way.

Major assumptions:

1. Slendy's home

2. Alex set Jay up

Any Objections?

 		Was Jay was able to see the Operator without the aid of a camera in this Entry? I had brought this question up in the past for other characters, and it seems worth bringing up again for Jay's first real encounter. From what I can tell, it was left purposefully vague - Jay's camera spots the Operator when his eyes would have (as he was behind the tree). Jay is frozen in panic, holding onto the camera, then swings it up toward the Operator before running away.

It does make sense that someone like Jay (who has been risking everything to capture abnormal things on camera and find things on film) would have the instinct to point at the Operator a few times. But if Jay abandoned his camera one second later due to the level of danger, would he really move the camera with his gaze before fleeing? If he was weakened (physically/psychologically/supernaturally), you'd think he'd look around instead of propping himself up with one hand to get the shot.

For some reason the fact that were your theory true, it would be a cheesy cop out revelation, plain and simple. Troy would never do that to us; easy as that.


You're basically saying "I wouldn't like it, so Troy wouldn't do it". Unless you're secretly Troy himself, I somehow doubt that your personal preference alone is a driving force behind the plot of this show.
How is it a cop out if the person they've been dropping hints is totheark winds up being totheark? Did you also think it was a copout to have the masked man wind up being Tim? By your own logic you'd have to. Also, how would it be more of a copout than if he were any of the other characters? The big mysteries about TTA are what happened to make him the way he is, what are his goals, things like that. His identity is just a small peice of a bigger puzzle.

 		The answer to every single mystery in Marble Hornets doesn't always have to be "Tim"

 		Hey I just thought of this: Maybe rosswood park has some sort of slender allure to it, where it attracts people via slender hypnosis. Would make sense why almost every main character gets there one way or another. Also makes sense because that could be where slenderman was "created", thanks to Alex's little speech about strapping people to the trees.

And unless you think that totheark's identity = every single mystery in Marble Hornets, that statement was completely pointless.

 		Guys I just figured out Marble Hornets!!! And it all revolves around the ARK

TTA and TiMasky (hence TTA refering to himself as we) are in cahoots trying to get Jay to take them to the ARK...The ARK music Factory!!! They want to spend their 20 dollars to produce a number one hit single and only Jay can lead them there. 2 people arent ok with this though, Slenderman who wants his 20 dollars, and Alex who doesnt think the song should ever be produced.

So TTA sends Masky to the dilapitated house to meet up with an unknowing Jay but Alex meets Jay there so he can silence Timasky, but then Jay freaks out so Alex figures that the only way to stop the song from ever being made is to get rid of Jay so he sends him to be slenderraped but he gets away to Alex's dismay

So alex meets back up with Jay and tries to get him back to where slendy is again (entry 38 ) but then slendy comes back and recognizes alex as the guy who originally stole his 20 dollars as a kid so he slender rapes alex (entry 29) and Jay confronts slendy who noices Jay doesnt have his 20 dollars. He then goes on a rage and kidnaps Jay and places him in his slender basement along with Jessica which turns out is just the hotel.

Then TiMasky who has been seperated from TTA comes to bust Jay out of the slendy basement/hotel because Jay can lead him to the ark and he knows if he can keep his eye on Jay he could be led back to TTA so they could use their combined abilities again to get Jay to finially lead them to the ARK

 		I guess it's not possible to go twenty posts in this thread without having this joke resurface.

WE GET IT. JOKE. HA HA. ARK MUSIC FACTORY. SO FUNNY.

Seems hard to argue with.

OK, my personal hypothesis (probably old news) as to why Alex is TTA:

1. Alex has the video production skills.
2. Alex has access to the raw Marble Hornets footage that appears in the TTA responses.
3. Of all of the characters introduced, Alex is the most likely to be able to guess what password(s) J is using on the YouTube and Twitter accounts. TTA posting to those may just be social engineering, not supernatural abilities.
4. Alex did, in fact, effectively tell J, "You really want that footage for b-roll? Sure, here's a garbage bag full of super cursed evil videotape. Have fun with it! Just don't talk to me about, I'm moving out of state. Kthxbye." What a pal!
5. Although this could be pure misdirection, he has been a serious dick (at the least) in season 2, clearly knows a lot more than he is letting on, and can reasonably (although not conclusively) thought to have lead J to the Operator in this episode.
6. Of all the people who had access to the footage in the "enttry" (and, wow, that was creepy), Alex is the most logical... in fact, he is so logical that it is almost an argument against this theory.

I don't have any strong hypotheses as to what TTA wants, though. It's starting to feel vaguely Ring-esque to me, maybe. "Hey, Operator? If you don't eat me, I'll bring you a juicy friend of mine to chomp on." But that's more a random thought.

(Oh, and: Hi, everyone!)

 		also, lets not forget that Alex's call out to Jay, if it was from Alex, was extremely TTA-esque. I forget if he verified it (distortion made it difficult to tell if he was saying 'yes, i sent it' or just rambling), but if it is him, it has demonstrated that Alex is perfectly willing to go full out to creep Jay into doing whatever he wants.

 		Ugh, people saying Alex is TTA again?


Can I just say that Entry #26 and his reaction pretty much says "No." to that theory? Plus Masky may or may not be TTA but he is definitely working with him, so Entry #35 also says "No." as well as what Alex says in Entry #36.

He may not be on J's side or a "good guy", but that doesn't make him TTA.

This is why I don't comment much anymore. Too many theories that have contradictory evidence. In all likelihood it will be Brian.

 		Still not sure why people even suspect Alex is a "bad guy" at this point. Sure he's being pretty cryptic with J, but there are a lot of possible explanations for that.

I don't usually view TTA as Alex, I was just throwing something I found should be addressed in any debate.
Also, the series is a labyrinth, so I wouldn't be too eager to discount anything fast. Everyone could be TTA and yet no one can be TTA if you view it another way. So we'll just have to wait and see.

 		Geneaux486: It's just the way he's been portrayed.

Angry in a couple of entries, violent with Tim, being weird with J, being mental because of Slendy, leading J into the woods and telling him ghost stories.

Plus his reentry WAS Entry #35 and you seen what he did in that.

I don't really see him as a villain, but if it turns out he is then it won't be out of the blue. Innocent until proven otherwise.

Timur: I just think that there is enough evidence to say "Not him". Just like Entry #39 made it so that it couldn't be Tim anymore, who was the front-runner and he couldn't run at the time. Like I said, it's likely Brain.

God damn, what is with you? iys not black white! tta doesnt have to be EITHER tim OR every single other character at once, stop using psycho logic! it wasnt a cop out at all for tim to be masky because the concrete signs of his identity were always there: same hair, same sideburns, same jacket-so-ugly-that-no-two-people-in-the-same-town-would-ever-own-it
