 		Confused If people really get that butthurt about not getting an entry this weekend, I'd be kind of disappointed in the fan community. The whole 'entry per week' thing is kind of established, to a degree. Of course, we sometimes wait longer, and sometimes we don't wait very long. But I mean, dang.

Of course, I would love to see it before Tuesday, but I mean... if I had to wait a few extra days, I'd be fine with that. Hell, we could wait another three weeks. A few days isn't so so bad. Right? (Bueller..?)

I can't tell if they're different shoes or not.

He might just be one of those guys that likes to wear two different kinds of shoe laces, or maybe it's because of the slender hypnosis Razz


Probably not super important in terms of significance, but now I'm gonna go back and rewatch and just start laughing if that turns out to be the case. I preemptively thank you for pointing this out. Laughing

I'm also puzzled about Alex's motives here. A few possibilities:
- Alex didn't intend to hurt Jay himself. He was luring Jay out then sending him back alone, hoping the Maskies would attack Jay and get him out of Alex's hair. Alex knows the Maskies are aggressive toward himself; maybe he assumes they feel the same about Jay. It's pretty apparent by now that they don't.

At the beginning of the season, it looked like he followed/accompanied Jay to the house to jump Tim, and he did complain about Jay leading people to his apartment and bringing masked freaks down upon them. If Alex figures they're all following Jay around, then leading Jay into the woods would be a good way to herd them where he wants them.

There's only been one mention of a crucial fact here and I can't find it due to laziness.
But the fact that Alex has started upturning his apartment (previous poster offered the idea as key searching, which is very possible) tells me that his Slendy-sickness is becoming worse, adding to the coughing/crazy drawings.
This is almost parallel to Tim in Brian's house even though he hasn't got as bad as Tim. Yet. Killing a man does put him up as evil though.

I thought it was Alex's house, and Jay got an anonymous tip Brian (Alex's neighbor) could be located there right after his interview with Tim (who insisted he lived farther away and didn't know Alex and hey, that Alex guy, he's kind of 'off'), who happened to be lurking inside and wearing a mask during one of the excursions. All work and no sleep could have me twisted around, I admit.

Anyhow, somebody went to crazytown while living there, but seeing Tim in it doesn't mean he lived there, anymore than Jay's visit meant he lived there, and we only hear that Brian was supposed to be there, and he's obviously not. If it was Alex's house, and Alex's new apartment is sprouting Bone closets and funky carpet, then crazytown might be familiar terrain for Alex.

 		This is an ARG, not a weekly sitcom. Due to the circumstances at hand, the new entry SHOULD come either tonight or tomorrow, as it is an Alternate Reality Game. We are to take ARGs for what they are, and it is Troy's job to sculpt that "reality" into our minds; as again, this IS an ARG.

If this weren't an ARG, this wouldn't be an issue at all. However, in order to maintain that consensus of realness, this specific entry should naturally come ASAP, as simply finding a tape and uploading it's contents isn't rocket science.

Unless, as stated a few posts above, Jay winds up getting kidnapped or something of that nature.

 		Maybe Alex just smokes? We've seen Joseph do it before, and it is possible that Alex smokes every once in a while and isn't necessarily addicted enough to be doing it all the time. If that was the case, we could patch up the summer of 2006 to nicotine withdrawal as the explanation for Alex being such an ass.

I keep seeing bits of spec about why Jay called Jessica before they went in the woods. Well, remember, Jay said that if Alex called him, Jay would make sure to call Jessica.

What do YOU think, camera?

 		For a new entry, my bets are on tomorrow or the day after that.

I thought the building would be used for a later entry. Unless Jay gets kidnapped or something, it would be unreasonable for Entry #51 to take a while to be posted.

 		The location scouting they are doing now is almost certainly for season 3. They wouldn't be scouting for season 2 locations this late in the season.

 		Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that it took Troy this long to film this entry. I know it's a long entry, but nothing to elaborate happens. I think they might have done entry 51 ahead of time, and where planing on putting it in with entry 50, but after realizing how big 50 was, they split it, with J finding the tape from Alexs apartment as an reason for the split.

That's what a lot of people are thinking (actually, hoping) what happened.

I'm not convinced this entry was the problem. If, indeed, 51 is going to be going up shortly as many of us are guessing, then 51 itself would have to be ready to go along with 50. I think the

item Troy talked about in his OOG twitter
was something from 51.

I'm unsure if this has been mentioned before, but regarding that the ark is, could it possibly be the tunnel? It would be spelled arc instead, though. It seems this tunnel has some importance since Alex goes there specifically and also Jay is led back there by Tim/Masky/Hoody. It also seems to have some weird effect on them and has plenty of Slendy distortion.


Yup.

For the bit that the camera was pointed at Jay, he seemed very stressed out. I think it's important that he's getting this angry, especially with the message of that last TTA video being that "somebody" doesn't have enough hate. It may not be Jay, but who knows? Maybe they're just trying to piss him off enough. They seemed able to build up enough paranoia in Alex to do all sorts of crazy stuff he might not have done otherwise, assuming it is driven by that at all. I think it is, anyway. Are they trying to do the same to Jay?


Keep in mind that this video is still within the seven months. Past!Jay would not have seen this TTA video by this point; any stress would be from running through the forest, not TTA's message about hate.

Quote:
2: Alex knew that Jay stole his front door key. So why would he tell Jay what it opened? He clearly wanted Jay to find that tape.


It's possible. It seemed more like Alex suspected it but wasn't completely sure, to me.

I don't understand why people think Jay and Jessica are romantically involved. Alex's question of how she's doing sounded more like "fuck you both, and your stupid little investigation, especially since chances are you know I'm lying" rather than "ooooh, how you doin'?".

Quote:
C, The book is not what they fucking ordered, god damn, it's been seen before


This. Did people really not notice it before?

Quote:
- Alex was asking about Jess. Maybe he intended to take Jay out of the picture, via rocksmash or memory wipeage, but something changes his mind. Jay gives Alex a reason to suspect that Jessica knows too much too, thus Alex delays his plans till they're both in Rosswood.


This is what seems most likely to me. Alex has something bad in store for Jay but realizes that Jessica now also knows he's been lying.

Quote:

This is how it went in my mind:

Bruce is just a regular joe. Who smokes. He likes to chill.
He says to himself one day while smoking by his car, "Hey, you know what, I'm going to take a walk."
You know what he does?
HE TAKES A WALK.
As he is taking a walk, calming himself and giving a sort of peace, he looks over by the tunnel. He sees someone just...sitting there.
Is this guy nuts or what? What the heck kind of a guy just sits and stares at a tunnel.
Thinking that nothing bad would happen, he goes over and offers his help.
Poor Bruce never knew what hit him. Er...choked him. And then bashed his head in. And then teleported him.

Honestly, he was probably just an average bloke that chose the wrong time to take a walk and be helpful.


I completely agree. I think the point of the entry was to show that Alex has pretty much gone insane.

For the most part, I agree, but it would just be a little weird to me since Jay can just look through the tapes for the one with that specific label. It shouldn't take that long. :/

I kind of take umbrage with the thought of it being an ARG, just because it's not exactly... well, gamey. We're only involved to the point where Jay can clarify things for us over Twitter, pretty much. We don't change/affect the storyline in any way, shape, or form. It seems more like an Alternate Reality Series with a slight bit of interactivity.
