Guys what's to say HABIT isn't framing Evan for it. After all the rest of the EMH guys know that he's slightly insane, for example, the whole bit where Jeff caught him with his knife talking to no one.

According to both Jeff and Evan, that never happened.

Has anyone ever tried sending them that little clip or could it induce more all-round bleeding and passing out?

I don't think anyone has tried with that SPECIFIC clip, but one has to assume that a hidden video is a hidden video is a hidden video. In other words... they aren't going to see it.

Either way, it would be a bad idea to try. They have already said they cant see the hidden videos. Nothing good can come out of trying to force them to see what they cant see.

They don't remember the footage (if it happened to them), they didn't believe us when it was brought up point-blank, and they can't see it in the video itself - it's as though the edits are not there.

I see no point in showing it to them now even if we could and I think it would only foment more suspicion and mistrust. In any event, it's been mentioned to them before and is now likely on their minds. I want to know what happened there, I want them to be aware but I personally don't want them divided over it. That's my major concern.

I get the feeling as though this applies to most of the situations we've been discussing recently. While we choose to go after instances which involve a particular member of the group (granted it may be the most recent lead we've got), that can only cause division. I'm not sure there's any way we've found to go "Hey, [we think] soandso is acting strange/suspicious/might have or has done suchandsuch/might be under the influence of, etc." without causing either repercussions on our part or, even if we were successful on getting such a message across, causing the group stability and trust to falter. Although going by this, we would have to attack the big picture instead of one or two particular people or things.

Also, while x + y could equal z, it might be best for now to assume not. If the obvious has occurred to us, chances are it has occurred to them.

--And this whole post is probably useless to y'all and more a typed out version of a short rant for myself, but oh well.

The thing is, we didn't set this latest in motion. HABIT did that on Steph's tumblr, and I think he knows exactly what he's doing to them. While certainly there was a lot of talk about him and HABIT by posters right here, the impression we've gotten from Evan in his email seems to imply HABIT has succeeded in making the others mistrustful of him. I hope that's wrong, but I fear HABIT's gotten exactly what he wanted from them.

Me, again, dont think that i am saying something new. But all those recent CYSTW blog updates refer to people with really cruel and screwed up minds. Therefore i cant stop seeing HABIT as bad habits everyone somewhat has -luckily usualy not in the way all these habitual / serial murderers but evreyone has a dark spot somewhere.

I guess at least I would like the philosophy behind all of this.

I wasnt one of the bunnies but where the tasks not all abour getting rid of things you had for long, getting rid of ... well .... habits in some männer? Sorry for spelling, its a pain in the bottom to type ona touchpad.

Josef Mengele.

Weird thing to base a post around.

Not sure if I'm really contributing anything to the discussion, here, but bear with me. What if HABIT wants the guys and Steph to break absolutely every habit, ever developed by them? Up to and including sanity, trusting friends. Literally every habit, ever. Even the bad ones. Just reduce them to an animalistic or vegetative state by driving them to complete and total insanity through a slow, steady process.

I know there's not a lot of evidence for that, but we don't know just how messed up HABIT is (even if we have a general idea he's not the guy we want out of the looney bin), or know much else about him beyond he's a total nutcase.

But, he's clearly isolating Evan. He's been completely silent on his Twitter for ages, now, so we have no idea what's up with the Seven Trials. He's hacked Steph's blog, and in the past, he's hacked the EMH Twitter. It's obvious he's making an active effort to misinform and spread dissent.

What if this could even spread to video? The videos could contain footage that technically never even occurred. Not just distortion, but, what if the guys never even did anything that got caught on HABIT's 'camera?' Just some illusion that only we can see, in video file form, taken up to eleven?

But if we can't trust Habit, then anything from the boxes is also suspect, since he arranged those. I think we need to assume that Habit is helping us for some unspecified reason.

Check it. What if he's helping us help him?

Roll with it for a sec. If he can falsify stuff to the degee I think he can, with the intent I think he has (if only long term), then it's entirely possible we've been helping him drive th crew nuts.

Think about it. We've been revealing a LOT of unpleasant details about potential parts of the crew's speculative past lives. That's some deep crap.

So basically he's been using us to get to them. And make us do his dirty work. Awesome. Not.

This theory has crossed my mind before. I just never really bought into it because he just never seemed like the type to really follow through on a large-scale plan like that. Unless it's some obfuscating stupidity business. Which would actually make it a brilliant plan.

I still buy lunaticfish's theory. He's telling us because he wants out of the cycle. He knows he dies each time, according to the current interpretation.
