You're right, there are other explanations for those things, and the theories you've provided are plausible. I will say that I still don't see enough evidence to support the "multiple masked people" theory, though there has been at least one differing mask on screen. I mean, you've got J and Alex. Add in two more masked people and over 50% of the cast is masked. The show's always kept the active cast pretty small, would get kinda awkward if there were that many antagonists relative to poor J.

I think there are, or at one time were, multiple masks. That, I believe is easily safe to say and it's obviously got to be explained somehow in the coming videos.
Who those other masks are and their connections with Tim are unknown. Also, their intentions could differ as well. Perhaps, Tim is the "masky gone bad", and TTA is the opposite.

I think I know what you're talking about, but I forget which video it's in. Little help?

There are multiple masks in the "#####" video IIRC, and also there's the "skully" mask in Entry 26 (once again, IIRC).

Yeah, those could be different masks, or it could just be differing levels of distortion for each shot. The mask in 26 is obviously different, though.

Why tim: only character jay has run into that's been openly hostile to jay, and TTA seems hostile. i know a bunch of people would argue that TTA/tim are trying to help jay, but i just don't see that. tim (okay, "anonymous tip", which was either a poor plot movement or was really tim) lured him to the house a bunch of times, once attacking him, and another time getting him into slenderbasement.



Tim didn't seem very hostile when you consider the fact that he stabbed Alex and there was a bullet casing found in the house where he "attacked" Jay. It seems to me more like an aggresive nudge to scare him away from the Operator business which I think is a set up by Alex. That being said I think TTA at least includes Tim but isn't necessarily out to get Jay.

My feeling about the "multiple Maskys" remains the same; it mostly has to do with the fact that it was created in Season 1 (and all the OOG baggage that entails, but I've said my opinion on that enough times), so I feel like those scenes were not intended to be taken literally. I think it's more the message that "none of you are safe."

ugh......more multiple maskies arguments.......I'm still to the persuasion that there is only one mask, or at least just one person wearing it.


Anyway! Back to TTA! My original theory (start of this season) was that Alex was TTA, and that Alex had managed to get himself killed. my theory now it that, while TTA was originally Tim and Brian, or Tim acting the prerogative 'we', anyway, Tim went completely Bonkers. Brian took over, and after his encounters with Slendy is just trying to get jay to let it lie. Tim burned down Jay's house to try and destroy the tapes, he took a camera, and planted it in Alex's house. When Alex thinks back to those events, thinks about The Operator, it appears, and his Girlfriend dissapears (gets Slendy nabbed) Alex finds out, looks at jay's account and sends the tape to him, with the adress of the house where masky is hiding. He uses jay to get Tim out and Alex attempts to kill him.

A lot of this theory makes sense, but if Alex was trying to kill Tim in Entry 35, mightn't he have tried a more surefire method? His words to Jay were, "He's not gonna follow us," implying that his motivation was more intended to slow Tim down than kill him. Or are you positing that the leg thing was a sloppy attempt at murder?

yah, the general idea is the same, make him incapable of doing any harm

Murder is ruled out for me when claims "he should have done worse", makes it seem like his intentions were less then fatal.

Indeed, Alex probably feels some sentiment/knows it isn't all Tim's fault that he's doing what he's doing. Him wanting to do worse is more of a practical idea since Tim is probably getting in the way.
I think that if the Operator really wanted J out of the picture it would have happened already. TTA videos seem more to pester and push J on rather than deter. I mean they contain clues don't they? They ask for a puzzle to be solved and whether or not J consciously wants to get out he is continuously trying to get to the bottom of everything rather than putting the camera down and just forget it all.

And yeah TTA at this point is most likely Brian...pretty much I believe that the other masks seen are meant to show that other people are working directly for the Operator.

I wonder if TTA is anyone at all at the moment. I wonder if Jay will mention him to Alex and Alex will stare at him and say something like "I have never found out. Whoever it is started sending me videos with messages using my footage. But never once showed their face to me".

And we'll never find out. So that TTA is almost like Macguffin. (An undescribed thing but very important that drives the plot along. I.E. The briefcase in Pulp Fiction).

Has it ever been thought that MAYBE totheark is an account shared by several people? How do we know that both Tim and Alex couldn't be TTA? Now, Alex broke Tim's leg, so Tim might have kicked Alex out after that, which MAY explain why Alex was seemingly siding with Jay in Entry 35. I really don't think that it could be Seth, simply because the only reason anyone can think of is "He only appeared once, so it would make PERFECT SINCE for it to be him!". Brian seems a little more likely than Seth, for OOG reasons which I won't go into. Jessica...doesn't seem likely. I do think she will have some part in the story later, but probably not TTA. Kay, huge wall of text over!
