It means "out of game" as opposed to IG, which is in-game.

 		How did people still think Jay was Hoody? The guy literally walked right in front of Jay.

I guess next entry where Hoody shows up there'll be a bunch of posts "well, we know Jay's not Hoody now..."

 		I was indeed hoping for Slendy. But that was a good entry.

 		Jay can't be totally immune to the sickness, he's experienced it multiple times in the series, and by that I mean more than just coughing.

like what? never coughed up blood or tried to "take" anyone (or else he'd have footage of it) - and those are the real symptoms. memory loss is a short term effect of being near the operator, the sickness is long term

 		Yes, new entry! Just got to watch it and I agree that Hoody is manipulating everything so that Tim and Jay will work together. Good catch on the baby doll, and I also think(as others have brought up) that Tim simply wanted to see the footage Jay had recorded. I'll have to watch it again, but the only part I'm not sure of is who was the one to drag off Jay? I'm not sure it was Masky, and here's why: from what we've learned before it seems like Tim was taking medicine and going to a doctor in order to not have the episodes where he becomes Masky, which means that at least for a while, Hoody was on his/her own. If Hoody's manipulating everyone(which I think we can all agree that he is), he apparently has had enough and decided it's time to bring Tim and Jay together.

 		Thanks pravado! Ugh, I knew I'd forgotten something earlier: basically because Tim has been doing what he can to avoid being Masky, he hasn't been around to help Hoody, so now Hoody's on his own. Well, apparently he's done with that and 61 and 62 are him manipulating both Jay and Tim to get them back together.

 		Not that it's earth-shattering evidence to prove something's up or anything, but I just noticed Jay usually updates us on his twitter to SOME capacity at least a day or 2 before posting a new entry, even if it's just a "changed my location" or an answer to someone's question while browsing the page.

There's not really enough evidence prove anything about the nature of "slender-sickness;" we don't know anything about the causes, or what certain symptoms indicate, or which "symptoms" are from the sickness and which are from something more direct. There's just not enough to know.

Here's what we do know. Certain characters seem to exhibit suspicious symptoms, most notably the coughing, but including memory loss, paranoia, aggression & violent behavior, multiple personalities, seizures, trance-like states, and others.

What we don't know is what causes any of the symptoms. Exposure to the Operator seems to have something to do with it, and mere exposure seems to be enough to cause coughing, but we don't know enough to say that certain symptoms are "short- or long-term" symptoms. Aggression, violence, and the impulse to "take" people might be symptoms from exposure, but they could just as easily be the result of direct manipulation of the mind by a malevolent Operator.

Even if all of these come just from passive exposure, we don't know if the different symptoms we see in different characters should be explained by length of exposure or proximity or the character's other health factors. Heck, Tim's seizures could have been pre-existing. Some of the symptoms, like memory loss, have been known to happen without any Operator sighting, especially when Jay interacts with Masky or Hoody or TTA (if TTA isn't Hoody), like during that 17-19ish stretch at the House where Brian was supposed to be.

Some people think that the fact of coughing or sickness in itself indicates the Operator's presence, but that's fallacious logic. Lots of characters, like Tim, Jessica, and Alex, have seemed to cause electronic distortion in the footage, for example, so assuming that every bit of distortion or visual tearing means that the Operator is present is unwarranted. Likewise, we don't know that the sickness itself is caused by the Operator. It certainly seems to trace to him, but it's equally possible that it could be spread by secondary carriers, i.e., exposure to Tim could cause a third party to display symptoms.

The point is, until we are given some information about what the Operator wants and what he does to people, we can't know what symptoms come from passive exposure and which ones come from more direct intervention. Until we know who TTA is and what he's capable of, if anything, in a supernatural sense, we can't know what symptoms come from exposure to him or his minions rather than the Operator, if any. There are just too many variables to make these sorts of assumptions about who's sick and who's immune and why. We need more information.

They once delayed an entry for a week or two so that Joseph could order an exact replica jacket so there were no discontinuities in the videos. Do you honestly think they'd make such a novice error?

Why would they have to order another jacket? Also great entry.

Joseph was moving and the jacket was lost during the moving. The entry they were filming took place the same day as a previous entry so it would be a discontinuity error if he went from one jacket to another over the period of a few seconds.

That stinks. I hope they find it, it is The Jacket, after all.

It was 38/50... so that's a little irelephant now.
