I always figured that it was Jay driving around... though that could be up for interpretation. XD

I saw the introduction footage as being Alex driving around location scouting.

I always figured Jay filmed it, too. It seems more like filler video. But it's possible that Alex filmed it.

...Guys... what's happening?...

EDIT: Oh, BY THE WAY, it's Entry 25 if you hadn't noticed. Or rather... Entry ######.

EDIT 2: Wait, sorry. Are these posts off topic now?

As far as the Introduction goes, I'm almost positive it's Alex's footage.

The video starts off with "The following is raw footage excerpts from Alex Kralie" or whatever.

I dont think it's Entry 25. Jay has been careful with his titles, Even doing a 19.5 to wrap some things up. This is a separate entry.

new entry
######

Okay.. so... This entry seems so much like a TTA entry... do you think that this is TTA posting on Jay's account, proving he has full control now?
specifically the spoken like "control has been taken away from you"

I tried to figure out exactly what's said in it and i got:
Quote:

We will wait for you no more.
Control is being taken away from you.
From the start its been a game for us
Not anymore
I'm coming for you
and you will lead me to the ark.


So.. I'm thinking this could bolster the old "Jay is the Ark" theory.

Anyhow.. I know some of this has been posted int eh entry specific thread, but not the game discussion thread yet, and since it's the new direction teh game is taking, i feel like it needed to be mentioned. No trouting please. Unless it's just for fun.. or your are from Finland.

Re: new entry

Ooohh oooh, maybe it's:

Control is being taken away from you.

Not anymore
I'm coming for you
and you will lead me
-to the ark.


Like a signature. I mean.. yes, it's weird. But.. maybe? *sigh* My initial excitement over that theory is already dimming.

I got the feeling when I was watching ###### that this was the first sign that J was turning into someone like totheark. So far we've seen J follow the same path down madness that Alex took, so it is only a matter of time before J becomes like totheark just like Alex did.

If this was Jay gettin' all crazy, I feel like we would have been given some more interim indication that he's changing tracks. His crazy up until this point has been more, shall we say, hermit style -- this video seems much more aggressive than Jay has been. This whole scary business most definitely seems to have not been a game to Jay, so for him to do a 180 and suddenly say that it has been is a bit incongruous.

Also, the mention of having a specific destination or goal (the ark) is a big step to make as well. I know Jay has held things from the audience in the past, but this just seems like a huge thing to have left out. If the ###### video is Jay getting all TTA-y, what is the Ark? Codename for Alex? Why would he encode that information? We've known all along he's been trying to find Alex.

On the other hand, we've known from the start that TTA has some motive we don't know about. Having TTA/Masky reveal that they're looking for 'the ark' and the reason that they're harassing Jay is that they believe he can take them to it makes much more sense in context. This seems to be a TTA video, simply posted from Jay's hacked account to show to Jay his own level of helplessness.

I don't think that Jay's the ark, I mean, why would he need him to lead him if that was the case? Not 'them', specifically Timmasky used singular descriptions there when he could have easily said 'we're coming for you, etc'

More likely that Jay has clues to the ark's location. "It was you, Jay, it was you all along!" doesn't seem like a very Marble Hornets theme for some reason.

The '-to the ark' signature was mentioned before, but I don't think that I agree with that, either. XD (Sorry Baka, not trying to be spiteful!) Seems more like it was one of those pregnant pauses that are used for cheesy revelations -- which is completely fair, because it IS an epic revelation, of a sort!

Y'know, that could be it. Though the message seems incongruous with that idea. Unless TTA is lurking, Tyler Durden-style under Jay's consciousness and is working with Masky, but that seems really convoluted and unnecessary.

So the next question then is, what is the ark, how is Jay connected, and what does Masky/etc. want with the ark once they get there? Surprised

My first impression was that TTA had taken over Jay's account somehow. I really don't think this is Jay.

"from the start it's been a game to us/not any more" to me explains why the first videos were so cryptic and unhelpful, and then as time went on the messages in them were made clearer and clearer ('dumbed down', so to speak.) It shows that TTA was becoming more and more desperate to get the message through Jay's head, and this is his most aggressive attempt yet.

Thinking about this makes me lol.
TTA: "MORSECODECRYPTICMESSAGESMETAPHORSMOVIEREFERENCES"
Jay's all like "Dude, I don't get it. Clarity plz."
TTA: "THE ARK, MOTHERFUCKER. TAKE ME TO THE ARK."

I guess TTA got about as fed up with waiting as the rest of us.

TTA just needs to feed his game through the Unforum. The people here who actually play ARG's would have found the ark, decided whether or not Masky/TTA deserved to get there himself, figured out the mystery behind Slendy and saved Jay from doom. Heh.
