seasons don't matter, because they don't really exist IG.

I see Brian as a possibility just because he was Alex's close friend, and the owner of the house Jay visits thrice. I think that Brian might have known that Jay would find Alex, and was hoping he could coax Jay into bringing him back. Whether to MHtown or to "reality" as it were.

Well so far the only person we can honestly connect to TTA is Masky. If it is Timasky or someone else we don't know. But TTA sure has a lot of private footage of him.

I was wondering why Alex didn't run to follow Jay when he met him in the woods ? At this moment Alex wasn't aware of Slendy's presence but he seems to know a bit about rosswood, and Jay warned him twice to run so he could have, instead of peacefully walking to him.

well tbh, is marble hornets meant to be played in an OOG perspective? Is any ARG really? I'm sorry but it seems pretty dumb to me, sure this is majorly an OOG forum for ARGs but making theories based on OOG stuff doesn't really hold much, I think Troy even said it in his blog.

Never confirmed, unfortunately =/ Could be Amy for all we know.

It was just an example lol. I'd be very, very disappointed if that girl was Amy.

Okay, I'm going to pose a scenario regarding TTA that I believe connects the facts fairly comprehensively, but recall again that this is in no way definitive, nor do I fully support it, I simply like to connect the videos how I can.

Alex films a student film called Marble Hornets, with Jay as script supervisor, and Tim and Brian as actors (this sets up the cast as I'm going to discuss them, others will come up as I introduce them, any not mentioned are to be disregarded). During the process, the four become the subjects of the Operator's... whatever he does. Alex catches the worst of it, because he's been stalked since childhood (potentially), Tim gets it the second hardest, because he's taking anti-seizure meds that keep his mind aware during pronounced Operator contact, whereas others black out and forget. Brian gets it next-worst, because he has some sort of prolonged contact that seems to cause him to blend in and out of people's memory. Jay is barely affected.

Years later, Jay looks through the tapes he obtained from Alex, and starts to realize what was happening. Brian, sees the videos and finally pieces together what has been torturing him all of these years, and creates an account with which he can egg Jay toward clues that he sees Jay missing. Tim, shaken and slightly insane from his prolonged contact with the Operator, is interviewed by Jay, and realizes that maybe he needs to look into these happenings further. Seeing some of the transactions between TTA and Jay, realizes that if he shows up at the house, he can scare Jay away and hopefully stop him from rousing the Operator once more. Tim then shows up at Jay's house, realizing that the Operator has been roused whether Tim likes it or not, hoping that if he offers Jay up as a sacrifice, it can end early. Brian, hoping that through investigation, the whole thing can end, stays at the house to make sure that he can protect Jay, and indeed he does, saying that he's "found" Jay "forever," and will protect him.

Tim becomes infuriated with Brian, and slowly plans to take over both channels to send a warning, as well as following Jay to the house later to attack him. The Operator then gets Jay, transporting him to the "basement lair." After these events, Tim enacts his plan and sends a warning to both that their time is limited, and that he'll be changing the game for both of them. He has found Alex, and plants a camera in Alex's house, primed with footage from the end of the Marble Hornets filming, when Operator distortion was ruining footage so thoroughly that nothing made sense, and conditions became unworkable. The Operator arrives, and something terrifying happens, Amy is lost. Brian is so scared by the attack on Alex and his girlfriend that he stops posting, but continues to live up to his promise of "forever" and protects Jay, as well as facilitating his investigation.

Jay goes to find Alex, who sent him the tape hoping for help, from an address he believes is safe. Tim recovers the address, and lies in wait, hoping to kill Alex and end this, as he's cooked up a theory that it's all tied to Alex (perhaps after finding the tape that he later posts on Jay's channel as Enttry #37). Alex and Jay find each other at the house eventually, Tim ambushes them, and Alex, realizing that Tim set them up, attempts to kill Tim. Jay prevents this, but Tim is severely injured, and the two drive away, leaving the psychopath to wallow in his injury. Alex explains his situation to Jay, and leaves to follow a lead on Amy's location, telling Jay to wait for him to call. Jay waits, Alex calls, and the events of the recent entries come out. Brian saves the camera, etc. Alex and Jay go back to a Hotel, Alex explains things slightly better, and the two go for a hike the next day (or so), where Alex tries to explain as much as he knows about the Operator. Other things happen, which have not been seen.

Tim heals up, and plots to wipe Jay, leaving him with no memory and (kill, eliminate, separate Jay from?) Alex, not taking into account that somewhere in the mix they picked up a new friend, Jessica. He enacts this plan, causing Jay to start "season 2." After Tim realizes that Jessica is in the mix, he stops into the hotel, kills or kidnaps Jessica, and sends Jay running. Brian starts dropping hints to help Jay out again, in the form of his still cryptic videos, some if not most of which may refer more to content we haven't seen that he knows about from his time following our heroes. Later, Tim finds Jay at whatever location he was at, and puts him to sleep, posts Enttry #37, and takes him to the tower, hoping that that will deter Jay from... whatever he's afraid Jay will do (find Alex? find out what's really happening? Meh.) And Jay miraculously recovers his footing, investigating continually, leading us to present.

Again, it's a theory, and I hope it jives well with the evidence, but if I missed anything, feel free to gently correct me.
