Like I said I don't know what has been agreed on or not this is my 1st day on this forum and just wanted to put forth something I had floating around in my head


I apologise if that sounded dickish. I just enjoy clarification

Thanks for breaking the silence. @_@ seriously, it was getting stale.

I totally agree, we need some forward movement on these TTA vids. Seeings as they're still rather cryptic, and wel still have no idea what they mean, collectively.

We've already distinguished that the Code stands for YAMA who is an entity that is considered to be the Lord of Death in many eastern cultures. There's also the mysterious "S" symbol watermarked in the corner is a character is the Sigma, which hold the last lowercase position in Sigma.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma

the wikipedia article is pretty useless, but I don't know a tonne about the significance of the different letters of the Greek alphabet. Maybe someone else is a little stronger?


It does not really represent much to the Greeks as far as I am aware, because it does not resemble anything or stand for anything, like, say, Theta (death, thanatos).

One possibility I did suggest earlier is that it is a much, much more rarely seen Greek character, "stigma" (a ligature (combination character) of sigma and tau), which in modern cursive fonts is almost indistinguishable from a final-position lowercase sigma. That might make slightly more sense, as "stigma" in biology refers to blotching or marking of the skin, and we are probably all aware of the significance of the plural form "stigmata".

However, its inclusion would be puzzling. There are a few other references to Afro-Asiatic mythology, but they are too sparse to draw definite conclusions.

 		As with YAMA, it may well be that these are conclusions that we've drawn that may hold no real significance simply because they're so sparsely laid out!

As for Warning, it was uploaded prior to #24, and Jay did stay at home and remain alone for a good period of time. Only after ###### did he flee from home. I don't think that Masky/TTA wanted to fry Jay. I think they wanted to scare him out of his house.

Oh don't worry you didn't sound dickish at all I am thankful you did clarify that for me or else I wouldn't have realized that a conclusion had been reached on that subject honestly.

I do wonder if anyone has seen any kind of code or anything in the video descriptions for the TTA videos because I noticed the descriptions have said things like //eyes\\ and stuff like that. Again I am new to the universe of MH and if I'm saying things that have been said a million times before I'm sorry I am just trying to get a little more of a solid grip on things

Also does anyone have a better way to reach the creator of the series than on the youtube messenger? Someone posted on the board that I heard about MH on saying they were the "actor" of Slenderman and then gave away some major spoilers and I wanted to send a copy of the message to Jay (J?) just to let him know what was said because if it is the actual guy they might have to make some script changes or do some reshoots or something

If in fact your board's dude is the SM, then I have a feeling that the MH guys know. I doubt it, because these guys have been pretty good about the curtain, though.

K what to think the post on the board said that he has not been repaid for the costume and gave out what happened in the future but IDK if he is for real or not should I post what was said and one of you who is in contact with J can message him or something the only reason I haven't posted is because if it is infact legit I really do NOT want to spoil things for everyone else

Then could you or a mod edit that last post to remove the spoilers already there?

I've looked through the video descriptions, and from what I can tell, there's no code, but feel free to look, maybe you'll notice something I missed

 		I watched "messages" (response to 1Cool and i noticed a photo was overlaid at the very end. I checked the wiki and it said that the photo was of tim. Why would TTA, who i believe to be tim, do this?

Also in 19 could there be significance to the camera Jay looks through before sleeping? was he taking photos of slendy and hasnt told us?

if you want to talk to the actors, then you can search on facebook by search marble hornets. they take private questions in messages. im curious what this person said though about the spoilers.and since its something about being paid back for a suit it sounds like someone playing around and fucking with you.

There is a problem with the tape being sent from Totheark: TTA has his own YouTube Channel, so if he wants to send it to Jay, why not show the contents of the tape there?

To show Jay that he is not safe, no matter where he is and how often he changes locations.

Seemed to me like the creators were trying to tell us who TTA was in a subtle way... but in character, it would seem as though TTA was trying to tell Jay who he was. I wonder about that, as well. If TTA was trying to give Jay his real identity in such a way, why was that never really explored? Was it to make Jay realize that Tim wasn't a safe person to speak with, so that's why he never went after him again? Or was it to try to get Jay to contact him again? (Seems more like the former, given Jay's ignoring of Tim after all of that.)

I'd wondered about the camera as well! It could be that he was still trying to lead a normal life at that point. Or perhaps he was keeping it on him to snap pictures of suspicious tree-lines to analyze later.

 		maybe they showed Tim's picture just to mess with the audience. give us something to show that we were right. and maybe they arent going to use that bit of info until later. if they do continue this series, they have a long way to go and tim is def going to play a big part. atleast i hope so.

 		Not a really helpful post, but I just wanted to say that I thought one of the creepiest parts of Entry #26 was when they showed that other Mask guy through the keyhole or whatever that was. That was completely new and definitely widened my eyes the first time. It was weird because it looked like the old semi-friendly Masky we've seen countless times before, but it looked like they had drawn the mouth so that the face was bearing its teeth. Definitely seemed more hostile. I imagined a scenario where this new Masky guy was stalking/chasing Alex and Alex was filming him staring at him through the door to the room in which Alex was hiding or something. Who knows?
