 		Which is also what brings me to that theory. Mabye the mask shares some of the same powers of Slendy.

I always just kind of assumed Tim was a good guy.

I mean he's never hurt Jay other than tackling him, and tackling typically happens for two reasons: to pin someone or to push them out of the way. I guess that sounds stupid because technically he's never gotten the chance to hurt Jay after he's tackled him and he might actually intend to, but he HAS had the chance to hurt Jay in other instances and didn't.

Like when he's chilling in Jay's room or when he runs past Jay to attack Alex. Neither time did he seem to have any malicious intent towards Jay other than to be a crazy weirdo.

I can't really explain away the tackling and stalker sh*t with anything better than that he's trying to watch and/or protect Jay. But it sort of makes sense, considering (assuming Tim is TTA) he wants Jay to lead him to something.

Also: I AM curious as to why Jay seems to forget things whenever TiMasky is around. That would probably support the 'insane magical asshole' theory, but maybe it's just Slendy's doing. Or Jay is just losing it.

also, remember that it could be that Masky is scring Jay in order to potect him, which would explain all the tackle-stalking stuff. I mean, he might very well be trying to scare Jay away from something that might lead to him getting Operator-stalked.

 		My personal theory is that Masky = Tim = TTA.
That being said, I also believe that Tim is the good guy trying to protect Jay from Alex. From what I can remember, many of the malevolent TTA responses seemed to target Alex while the helpful ones target Jay. Could it be that Tim is smarter than we think? Maybe he lured Jay there to A) Get a weapon off of Jay (he was expecting TTA anyway) and B) Get Jay to find evidence against Alex. He also might know that (I believe anyway looking at the evidence) that Alex has been watching all of Jay's entries from the start. The reason behind this is A) He claims Jay is "Not hard to find," and B) He didn't seem too pissed that he's been posting the videos he trusted Jay to burn from existence. As for the mask, I think it has some sort of electrical devices that blocks slendermans vision and, as a side effect, distorts the camara. (Notice how the distortion from Exit is VERY similar to the distortion from Masky's appearence at the hotel). My reasoning for Tim being good is the same as everyone elses, the clear lack of intent to kill of Jay while stabbing Alex in the arm. Sorry for the long read but this is my personal belief.

My main issue with the "multiple Maskys" theory is that we have exactly zero evidence to corroborate it. Every time we have seen "a Masky" in the series, it has been Tim.

But, we have seen multiple masks throughout the series, and by looking at them, it's pretty safe to say that there is different people behind them.

Here's what I think:
There at least was at one time more than one "masky". Not in the videos, but at some point in the backstory of everything before Jay went out on his adventure. This, I believe, will play into the story somehow.
As of "current time" in the story, I don't think there are multiple masked people, just Tim. I think something obviously split them apart.

I only recall 2 and there's no indication that there are different people behind them
OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think the mask might actually be used because Tim might not be able to be in the videos everytime. This is why it's implied to be Tim but seems to have a different build.

Until we see more than a few frames of a clearly different mask than I see no reason to assume there's more than one Masky

I personally think Alex is more of a bad guy than Jay, but Jay also has huge gaps in his memory, and it's possible that during those times he's doing things for The Operator. :/

Also, I distinctly recall one instance of a TTA video aimed at Jay that mentioned "enjoying watching you suffer".

Additionally, I think Tim stabbed Alex in the arm because Alex went on the attack first.

1. I said Alex was the bad guy, not Jay. I think the gaps in memory from Jay are from encounters with Slendy (Like in Entry 40 but worse)
2. How do you know it was aimed at Jay. Although I don't recall this particular video anyway. Which one is it?
3. Tim clearly pushes Jay out of the way to get to Alex. If he was after Jay he would stab him first, then go after Alex.

1. I was agreeing with you, but saying it's possible that we're wrong.
2. I honestly don't understand why videos posted as replies would be to Alex in the first place. They're being posted as responses to Jay's videos. For the record, it was Broadcast.
3. Refresh my memory: does he have the knife originally, or does Alex...?

 		Tim comes out with the knife, pushes Jay out of the way, stabs Alex in the arm, Alex knocks the knife out of his hand (or Tim throws it), then Jay picks up the knife and refuses to give it to Alex.

Okay, then I stand corrected; the first time I watched it it seemed like Tim was attacking them both.

Also, its worth mentioning that Tim is not exactly just a psycho in a mask...I mean, he teleports into a room. At the very least he can interfere with electronics, and do so willingly (as to prevent the camera from filming his entry), which is also not something normal people can do with their minds.
Just throwing it out there that Tim clearly has something up his sleeve he is using.

How come everyone thinks he teleported into Jay's room? Am I the only one who easily brushed it off as the camera's battery flickering on and off while Tim broke in?

Well, as we know, technical difficulties are usually not so coincidental (especially given that he appears to know exactly when the battery is dead, as you never see him moving between positions), so either
A)He somehow has magical battery senses and/or has the Luck of the Irish
B)He can control distortion (not a normal thing)
C)He can teleport.

 		Ok, I have a few things to say about Masky.

First: The pills.
I think those pills are some sort of meds for epilepsy or something like that, because in some entry after Jay takes the pills from the house, you can see Masky having a seizure after attacking Jay. So they are not for "slender-sickness" or anything like that IMO.

Second: The mask.
Maybe the mask is some sort of protection against slenderman, it may sound weird, but maybe its because the "generic" face shape, without anything in particular, it kind of resembles slenderman face.
And if you see Return, Jay has some sort of "make-up", all white with shadows around the eyes, and slendy just passes without even looking at him. Maybe Masky put that make up when he was in Jay's room? Assuming that Return took place after Jay leaves his room for 3 hours.

Third: Masky
I think that Masky/Tim is a good guy because he's always trying to scare Jay away from certain locations, or trying to take the tapes from him, maybe to stop him to get more involved in the case.
Also, Alex might be a bad guy, and Masky knows that, you know, with all his stalking skills he might have stalked Alex and found out he was doing something shady. Because when he founds Alex and Jay, he STABS Alex, I mean WTF why doesnt he stab Jay instead? He was closer. Maybe trying to tell Jay that Alex is not his friend.
Aaaaand, Alex says "he wont follow us anymore" before smashing the rock, but we never saw Masky stalking Alex.

Umh, I think that's all xD If I think of something else I'll post it.

Sorry for my english Razz Im from Mexico so its not really good.

 		I still don't believe missing time from the tape in 19 is too farfetched. We've seen plenty of episodes comprised of footage from one tape with recording gaps.
