we actually came up with a great theory in the chat (that i kind of elaborated on) that i feel should be widespread (hopefully this will change the topic temporarily)



alex sacrifices brian and tim, gives jay the tapes, and moves away
brian and tim become totheark, and want revenge
however they don't know where alex went, he just up and left

three years later, jay interviews tim and mentions slendy
jay gets an anonymous tip (from tim) to go to brians house
while there, jay has the coughing fit and leaves, tim follows him home (the whole point of this was to find out where jay lived so tim could keep an eye on him)
totheark (working with tim) follows jay from hotel to hotel. he intercepts alex's package, knowing that it'd arrive on a certain date thanks to that twitpic
thats how he ends up in the house from entry 35

the whole point of stalking jay is to figure out where alex dissapeared to since they had no leads previously. maybe brian called him a bunch and he never answered (the "he lies" tta video, explains how tta had alex's number)


"there weren't any psychopaths with masks chasing me before you came around" - prob cause they used jay to get to alex

a theory that doesn't really add to anything, but fills in the blanks rather. re-reading it, about only half of it could be true but w/e i figured i'd post the whole thing

It's still an interesting theory and I can see some of this happening.Thanks for sharing it!!
Now to what I was gonna say before I saw your post--I'm just sitting here imagining all the peeps who went to bed way early and idn't or couldn't even wait for Jay to post initially--not even the peeps who went to bed AFTER the second Tweet--I mean the ones who are gonna wake up,come on here and expect to watch the amazing entry#52 and also see 50+ pages of discussion here only to be SORELY disappointed.

we have all made mistakes, but not this often when promising things. its a technical difficulty that could have been avoided if he stopped waiting until 1am to render his video, or at least not say "itll be up in an hour" while it's still rendering. rendering isn't uploading to youtube, it's turning all the edited footage into a video file to be uploaded. that should have been done before that tweet went up. he led people on and although it wasn't his fault, he shouldn't have promised it and made people stay up.

now people are going to be tired tomorrow and cranky and maybe someone will crash their car on the way to work cause they're so tired and take out a school bus full of children, and that will be on troys hands


Jesus you people have major entitlement issues.

Seriously.

No one made you stay up. The butthurt is immense with this issue. Stuff happens. In the least, all the people that stayed up will have a good rest and can theorize to their heart's content when it finally does come out.

I'm so glad to know I'm not alone in this. People feel like they have a right to be so rude and meanspirited because not everything in the world goes their way, and then pretend they don't have any control over their own decision making process.

If it's too late for you to stay up, then go to bed!

It seems to me like everyone's assuming they've had this entry done for some time, and Troy could have uploaded it earlier and made it private.

To me, that's why it seems most of you are mad.

And, that's pretty misguided.

For all we know they finished filming 2 days ago when Troy skipped his classes, and he was just now able to finish editing, which means that he did not have as much time as most of you assume he had to get this rendered and uploaded.

I'm pretty sure that this entry is going to be close to 20 minutes, and if that's the case, then rendering is a bitch. Moreso if something goes wrong while rendering.

Also, Troy uses Vegas to edit, which, while good, can be a bitch to use sometimes. In my experience with the software, there are times when it just doesn't like to work. And most of those times seem to be when you're working on a large project.

If Troy is having those problems, then there's not much he can do besides replacing his software. Which would only delay things more, as it would require him learning whatever software he purchased.

So, everyone, just step back, take a chill-pill, and breathe.

The entry will be uploaded soon.

Take solace in the fact that this means the months long hiatus is delayed for just a bit longer

Just go to sleep, and stop being mad a Troy.
Or else we might end up with a 'Twas all for the boners' ending.

And none of us want that, right?

I'm with BioGuy and TheWorld

Also, I apparently typed a whole essay on tumblr after 2 grownup beverages (and reading through it all after I finished, I stand by what I said):
"I have to say, even though I was also one of those people posting their frustration, my attitude toward 52 being postponed was (and still is) summed up with the words "well that sucks". Really, I'm positive that Troy himself will have the problem sorted out as soon as possible, be it within hours or days. As some of us are aware, he's apparently excited for certain games being released right now and I don't blame him. The man has a social-and-also-personal life of his own with less personal time to work on his Slendervlog than a great deal of us lesser known crrrreators.

When 52 gets uploaded, it gets uploaded and I won't hold the delay against Troy. Sure I'm a little let down at being made to wait even longer for a new episode but you know what? I'm going to suck it up because to be brutally honest, it's thanks to Troy and Tim (no offense to Joseph, but the two T's are the real heartstealers in this franchise) that I've become involved with the "S-S-S-SLENDERVERSE" at all. Sure it started with Littlekuriboh making Concrete Giraffes, but even so I still watched that parody 2 or 3 times before I bothered to really look into the Marble Hornets youtube channel at all and even then I still didn't see much reason to watch at first. Fortunately, they hooked me in at episode 2 (thank god I give everyone and everything 1 free chance), which not a single damned other piece of Slenderman fiction has ever done (honestly, get to the damned point, man. I don't give a shit about my own physical fitness or your college history project involving your dead cousin!). MH is also the only piece of Slenderman related literature that has and ever will cause me to lose sleep (3 weeks worth) out of legitimate fear and for that I'm still amazed since anyone who's read one episode of my sketchy Slenderparody series might realize that I'm virtually incapable of taking anything at all seriously and not break out laughing at some point.

Er, um, my point here is that Marble Hornets is the source of several, several joys in my personal life (not all of which will I detail in their entirety) and social life that I would have never been able to accomplish otherwise (or with a good deal of hint-hint-nudge-nudge-wink-winking from Martin Billany) without their series and for that I will stand by them postponing-or-not until their very last episode.

That and also the fact that they're just plain better than every single other Slenderblog or Slendervlog in existence. Don't bother debating that statement with me; I've already had 2 drinks before typing this veritable-goddamn-essay and I'm damned sure not done yet.

Eh, whatever. Hopefully I'll wake up in 10 hours or so and this post will still make sense to me in a clear state of mind. Thank you Troy, Tim, and even Joseph and Brian (as much as I unwarrantedly dislike Brian's character).

[By the way, it doesn't take a couple of drinks to realize that the act of tagging the word "Slenderman" alone will guarantee me at least 2 "likes" by the time I wake up.]"

Y'all got served.

I seriously hope Troy did this intentionally.

He didn't, man. He honestly didn't mean for the delay to happen. He seems pretty upset over it himself.
