First time posting. Greetings, all.

the decoded "continue on" seems literal. Coded backwards, however, suggest we continue on backwards. Perhaps there is something important in the last TTA vid that we've missed.

Furthermore. . .

Assuming that the film makers follow Unifiction to see how the viewers are catching on to their cryptics, If we've missed something vital, they would want to let us know. The easily decoded "noeunitnoc" is an easy way to do that.

Other related thoughts:

This makes sense considering how the poster can add the video description without altering the video.

If this is true, then this code and the code in the video must be unrelated, as far as deciphering goes.

what do you all think?[/spoiler]

Maybe the "continue on" backwards thing in the description is supposed to be a hint about the numbers instead of a message to Jay?

Maybe instead of:

79 75 83 27 72 72 24
83 75 68 13 83 27 79

68 83 57 68 24 83
79 79 83 57 75 57

it's supposed to be

42 27 27 72 38 57 97
97 72 38 31 86 57 38

38 42 86 75 38 86
75 57 75 38 97 97

Or you'll notice the first set of numbers is in 2 rows of 14 numbers (7 pairs per row) and the second set is in 2 rows of 12 (6 pairs per row). Maybe you have to multiply, divide, add, subtract the first set by 2, 14, 28, 12, or 9 and the second set by 2, 12, 14, 24, 6, or 8 to get the answer? I'm no good at this decoding stuff so I'm just trying to throw out some random ideas that I had since y'all seem stumped.


I spend more time than I care to admit on this yesterday trying to come up with every possible add and divide I could think of. However I can't remember if I did rot5 before multiplying the rows. If anyone is interested in that method, do the rot5 on the numbers and then multiply the top and bottom numbers in each colume (fail spelling on a phone 101) To get 8 and 6 different dec inputs. Pretty sure I did it front and back for the sets given. I was getting letters but nothing popping out unless it's scrambled even more. I'm go over it when I get home from work and have a chance to number crunch.

Well, the TVs in the video generally seem to be showing clips from the Marble Hornets YouTube channel. TVs are a medium for watching videos... so is YouTube.

Paired with "sees now" maybe Hoody is trying to tell Jay to stop using YouTube. Maybe someone is watching that Hoody wants to be in the dark. Though that seems unlikely... due to it being obvious in the case of Alex...

I don't think that tta would harp on something that obvious.

I think the Hoody in the video seems to symbolize that Hoody has been present in the series the whole time. Unseen...

"sees now" is the third person singular. He/She/It sees now. Perhaps Hoody is saying that someone can see his presence in the past events. But I don't see why that would be important enough to mention.

Off-topic: One of the TVs they had looked like the picture tube from a console TV I just gutted and threw away. When I saw it, I was like hey my TV but then remembered that I don't live anywhere near them.

What if this video is a straight up warning? Think about it, its called "Surveillance", and is using old YouTube footage. TTA knows what Jay and Tim have been doing all along, and it isn't a matter of magic, they go around declaring what they're doing on social media. TTA knows they're going back to the hospital, and he'll be waiting...

Yeargh... I've tried those codes at the end seven ways to Sunday... Nothing. Surely one of us is going to crack this thing soon... Bang Head

To the ones who believe TTA wouldn't show their faces in a video and continue to wear masks I say this:


See also several other TTA videos. [/img]

This may be a shot in the dark, but the video is called surveillance. Jay posted about a weird dream on Twitter, then TTA posts this.


That sounds a little too cheesy imo, like way too cheesy. So suddenly TTA has the power to see other peoples dreams? Definitely not.


Unless Jay wasn't really in his bed dreaming, but was out meandering. But since the video doesn't show us anything like that, I'm inclined to lean toward it simply being what it is: acknowledgement of "monitoring of the behavior, activities, or other changing information, usually of people for the purpose of influencing, managing, directing, or protecting."

[ETA: we were on page 15 and nobody had yet whipped out a dictionary definition. It had to be done, for the bingo players out there.]

Which segues nicely...

All the emphasis on taping, or reviewing tapes, finding tapes, and here, we're re-watching old footage while Hoody watches us. I thought it might be a kick in the butt to Jay to stop watching and start acting, or a warning to anyone who might see that the footage is all manipulation (especially with Hoody holding the monitor at one point), or even just a call to destroy the tapes (which doesn't work well with the idea of continuing one, but...). I don't dismiss the TV, it's just too open to interpretation for my tastes.

To the person that stated there was no fooling with numbers vertically, i saw some people saying they did it on this thread and found nothing. Myself, i tried it too because i thought it was too much of a coincidence they were lined up like that, but now im not that sure anymore.

I think the 2 and 5 things are the closer we got to solving this. And im not sure Troy would give as a clue, i mean last time he just said we missed some TTA evidences, didnt even say which ones... Mr. Green

Maybe the tv's destruction could mean that Hoodie/TTA isn't going to be able to keep watch on Jay and Tim and they are on their lonesome, at least for the time being(if not permanently). Which could indicate that we won't be hearing from Hoody/TTA for a while or Hoodie/TTA will become a larger presence in actual entries instead of the usual random Hoodie sightings.

And could anyone be able to tell me what Entries the clips of Alex, Jay and Tim are from?

I'm dismissing the TV. Totheark videos are full of ass-random creepy things. Remember that time he put in an inflating dog's lung?

The clip of Tim is from entry 20, the clip of Alex is from 3, the clip of Jay is from 42, I believe.

Maybe this video is warning Jay that Alex has seen the new entries and is really out to get him now. I mean, if Alex was pissed at Jay for uploading the S1 entries, he must be royally pissed and frothing from the mouth now that Jay has uploaded incriminating entries like 49, 51, 52, 56, and 57.

This is a stretch...but I think we've reached "grasping at straws" status here on this one:

I can't get it out of my mind that the "continueon" backwards means that we need to be looking in the past, at previous entries. Maybe we should be looking at the entries that are featured in this video? 20,3,42...

I'm going to re-watch them tonight and post if anything jumps out at me.

Maybe the deteriorating TV just means Hoody has been watching all this time and now he's done watching? If it's something like that, then maybe Hoody is going to do something more physical now, or get directly involved more often.
Or maybe he knows where the ark is ("sees now"), so he doesn't need to monitor Jay/Tim/Alex/etc. anymore?


Also, I actually noticed Hoody in the background right away (because I'm paranoid maybe). Though, with Hoody in the TV reflection around the end, I didn't see anything the first time. I saw someone say they saw The Operator in that reflection. So I checked the reflection and thought I saw The Operator with a weird messed up "face"; the face looked like it might be Hoody's hood, but I just couldn't make out Hoody's image there. Later someone said Hoody was in the reflection, and it took me almost a half-minute to see Hoody instead of The Operator. Now, I can't see The Operator in that reflection anymore.

If it helps:
Distant silhouetto of a slenderman in a doorway or hallway: don't know--I recall a 2nd season clip of Alex moving down a hall that fits, but can't find it.
Hand grabbing the camera: #45
Alex checking his phone/alarm and replacing the tape (shown with Hoody in the background): #3
Eyes with "sees now": don't know, probably doesn't matter, only mentioning it for OCDosity. Looks TTA-ish.
Jessica/Mask (overlaid over Hoody holding a screen with a mask): #32
Clip of Jay (in treed TV): #42
Clip of Tim (in treed TV): #20

I'll now sit and wonder if the video numbers mean anything about the end-of-video numbers, and how much vodka I'll need to make them all fit together...
