Alex's girlfriend was like "Hurfa Durfa, we have a camera, Alex" And also Tim is hilarious if you talk to him.

[TVX]

I don't buy this whole Tim=TTA thing one single bit. Not at all. It's an entirely hollow and baseless theory. There's more evidence to suggest that Alex's old dog is TTA then there is for Tim to be TTA.

Maybe Tim does have mysterious and ulterior motives; but for the sake of making a solid theory, we don't have enough information to suggest that Tim is even remotely relevant to the entire story. And it drives me up the wall that the official Marble Hornets Wiki has "Tim is most certainly TTA" when he most certainly is not.

Looking at it from outside the MH-a-verse perspective, does everyone honestly think that probably the number one mystery of the entire Marble Hornets "Saga", something that has been worked and slaved over for atleast or a year or so (give or take) would have one of its most iconic and interesting characters identity flat-out SPOILED because they couldn't get one of their actors to shave? Rly? Even if "Tim" plays TTA, I don't think the character of Tim is TTA.

I was uncertain that Tim was TTA, but that was only because I wasn't sure that TTA =='d Masky. That Masky showed up right after Tim's interview, and has pretty much been wearing the same outfit as Tim from the getgo, makes it seem like Tim has been a baddy at least part of the time. I don't know that he's the main villain when he puts on his doll-face, just considering that Skull-mask showed up in #26, and why would they change it if they were trying to show that Tim's been TTA all along, unless to indicate time?

Anyways, TVX, I'd argue that Tim's TTA firstly because he only shows up physically when Jay contacts him and alerts him to his presence. His face comes up faintly at the end of 'Messages', his coat and 'burns are apparent in his various appearances in the Entries and TTA responses, and we haven't really seen anything to indicate another party. Brian seems to have gone from the series entirely. Alex... could be TTA, but not necessarily because HURF DURF ARK == 'ALEX R KRALIE~' so much as, by the time that #26 rolls around, he looks like he's become pretty well ensconced in a new life with a new gal without Slendy kicking around. And while TTA could be Jay, that rules out #19's both of them being in one place at the same time unless there's time travel happening, which I... I don't know, I think that's more convoluted than it needs to be.

If you don't think that Tim's TTA, what's your theory on who TTA is?

[Seraphic Adonis]

Amy from #26. It is the only thing that makes sense.

Late to the party, but I am here now. I am out to warn all that I assassinate all you ARK theorist. That is why they keep disappearing. I killed them all.

[Ryuujin Dracos]

I 'd make up some crackpot theory about who I think totheark is but I don't really have one plus Stick kinda scares me.

[Dray]

That reminds me, this should probably be moved back to the MH forum!

[SticktheFigure]

Don't worry Dracos, I've cooled my shit down. I will not kill you now, only mildly beat you over the head.

Also, here is a theory I came up with that I don't believe: While Alex's initials aren't ARK, the first three letters of Kralie backwards are. Although I'm sure this has been brought up before.

Only just watched MH in the last couple weeks.

How can anyone not think that Masky is TTA, and second, not think that Tim is Masky/TTA?

Tim is very evasive in his interview. Deliberate mention is made that J takes a bottle of pills from the house. After Masky visits him in his sleep, the bottle is empty. An older video shows Tim with pills. Tim is shown to be under the weather often, and Masky has a seizure.

In the video that reveals Masky watching J sleep, at the end J says "TTA knows where I live." and TTA never denies that he is Masky.

I honestly don't buy any arguments about this, cause the mask features so prominently in many TTA videos, and our first hint that TTA has been visiting J in his sleep comes after TTA says that secrets are being kept. And the first TTA video response comes after the first video we meet Tim in, along with that girl.

Also worth pointing out that Tim smokes in that scene, and always under the weather. Maybe "The Ark" is a cure to cancer or something. He may believe that immortality or something may come from interaction or defeat of Slenderman.

For Tim to NOT be TTA/Masky represents the worst kind of bait and switch. MH doesn't have the highest production values, but the storytelling is deliberate.


To me, the mystery is not "who is TTA/Masky" it's "why is Tim doing this, and what is his relationship with Slenderman, and what is his ultimate goal?"

[SticktheFigure]

That is the general consensus my good man! I'm glad that you didn't need a bunch of facts spilled out so that you would understand such. I already like you.

However, in our boredom, you are likely to see us spewing out theories that we may not even believe or strongly stand behind. Just to give something to talk about in the absence of MH.

[Ryuujin Dracos]

In that case I'd like to present my theory I believe my neighbor is actually Slender Man in disguise I have no evidence or a plausible reason nor do I strongly believe in this crackpot theory I'm simply bored out of my mind plus I really can't stand the idiot.

Thanks.

The more I think about it, the shape I see for this mystery is that:

-Tim is sick, possibly dying.
-Slenderman finds his victims through use of camera, not through the Operator symbol being his eyes.
-Tim (probably delusional and incorrect) believes this supernatural thing that is stalking them represents a cure/immortality. This is the Ark he refers to.
-It's not the house that allows time/space shift where you go through one door and exit in the wrong place---it's the people. J can do it, possibly Alex can do it. Tim MIGHT be able to do it, but I can't decide. Tim may think that J can lead him to the Ark by following him through these shifts. After all, J can do it in his apartment when he's asleep. Tim may mistakenly believe that J knows what he's doing, and is lying, thus the threats in Entry ####.
-When J runs, Tim decides to set up an end game. He finds Alex, plants a camera causing Slenderman to find Alex, and sends that tape to J. Thus when J finds Alex, Tim will confront them both and finish this.

Whether I'm right about this stuff or not, how do they do a season 2 that builds on their existing ideas and finishes things out while maintaining the video-documentary style they've established?
