Oh MAN, I hope Jay is totheark. At least partially. Seems pretty likely to me.


Oh, come on. OOG, he's probably the owner of both accounts. So not a coincidence per se, but not really meaningful Wink

~Sylv

There are plenty of IG reasons to believe that Jay is part of totheark too. I'd already given it thought before Gordon said that.

Jay knows we check his sign in dates, I wouldn't rule that as a coincidence necessarily, especially since totheark is usually only signed in around the time he posts a video.

True...now that I go back and re-watch it, it sure does look like the operator can see him. Maybe once you capture SM through the lens of a camera you gain the ability to see him with the naked eye? Is that why "The Operator" is so important? I dunno. What's always bugged me is what happens right after the clip cuts out. Does Slendy wander off? Does something happen to all of them that they now don't remember? I have a hard time believing that Alex just walked up to SM like that without SOMETHING out of the ordinary happening.

Reminds me of Gantz. In the manga, the main character's GF is taking pictures while they're on a 'mission'(unknown to her.) and catches one of the team on film. If I remember correctly, from that point on, she could see the team even through their optical-camo, and became a target as well.

But, on the subject of MH, it does seem to hold up. Even if it's not exactly 'catch him on film, see him with the naked eye', maybe it's 'if you've seen him on film', but he had to be caught to begin with. Like because Jay saw Alex's tapes with Slendy, he can see him in the open now, maybe.

I too wonder what Slendy's doing when we don't see what's going on. I mean, normally, you would expect an attack or something, but Jay seems fine - aside from a little more paranoia, and strangely an increased drive to find out what's going on - instead of becoming super insane and or depressed out of his skull.

Also, I'm still curious to know how Alex came in contact with Slendy to begin with. He seems surprised to have seen him when he did. Not just scared, but shocked to see such a thing - like he hadn't seen it before. I don't think he was researching slendy pre-MH. So, what happened for him to have triggered Slendy to follow him? Was it just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or is there something 'special' about him?

I know someone has mentioned this before, but has any tried a spectrogram of the audio in "Attention"?

That part with the sailor, the audio sounds real similar to what happens when you convert data to audio formats.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-KMFxzA_Lk

Compare what happens at 5:27 with the sound you hear during the sailor. If it's a spectrgraphic message, I'm guessing it's not as complex as a picture. Another message, maybe?

I'm browsing around trying to find some free spectrogram analysis software, but not having any luck...

I was just reading some of the new things on the wiki, and one thing in general really irked me. The fact that it says Tim is 'almost certainly the enigmatic figure known as TTA'. Um, we don't know that for sure, really.

We aren't any closer to knowing who the hell TTA is then when he first showed up with a video response to J.

And as far as the series goes as a whole. Wow, it sure has gotten bland. It's like they themselves have lost interest in it, and are just not as willing to make videos for this series and thus explains the lack of updates or they simply ran out of ideas that will keep us entertained.

I mean, really J? You have to go back to the house a third time? What are you going to find there this time? How about something that will get this story on the move, eh?

Yep. I've spent the last two hours fiddling with Sonic Visualizer and nothing came from it...

I apologize in advance if any of this is Trout and for the length of the post; I've been away from this stuffs for a while. =P

I was thinking about the whole "Return to us" statement, and I started to think that maybe, totheark (Alex, Brian, Seth, or (ugh) Sarah) is telling Jay to return to the "group" which contains Masky (Tim), and possibly any number of the others involved with Marble Hornets.

This might have something to do with how in Entry #22, Alex says that Jay, Tim, Brian, Sarah, and Seth are all "gone". I think it's possible that by "gone" he meant they don't remember anything to do with Slender Man anymore, and they were all deeply involved beforehand.

This could mean that totheark (Alex, Brian, Seth, or (ugh) Sarah) had previously (but probably after Entry #15) "woken up" Tim by making him remember about Slender Man, thus compromising his mental stability, and eventually transforming him into Masky. Now they want to "wake up" Jay, so that he can return to their group. They need Jay for whatever business they are planning regarding Slender Man.

Another idea along the same line: once they "woke up" Tim (Masky), he went insane and has now gone rogue from the group. This explains his hostility, especially in Entry #18.

It could be, that totheark is the "bad guy", as it were, and Masky, although insane and socially retarded, is trying to protect Jay from him/them (totheark).


Also, I still don't like the idea of Sarah being totheark, and I wouldn't even include her as a possibility if not for the video response Deluge, which has what sounds like her voice saying "Alex" backwards and slowed down. That could, however, have been taken from some video totheark has where Sarah said "Alex", and is therefore only circumstantial evidence at best against her as totheark. I am also including her in an attempt to be... not-short-sighted? Something like that.


Also also, I can't remember when or where I read it, but there was some theory that all the entries thus far (including Jay's shenanigans with the tower and the house) have all been filmed by Alex or someone pretending to be Jay. I'd just like to say in response that it's impossible, because Jay went to the house in Entry #16, collapsed, and then was filmed whilst collapsing. That means that it was Jay who filmed Entry #16, end of discussion (not to mention you can hear his voice, and it's pretty distinctive, to me, at least).

Now, let's pretend that Alex wasn't the one filming these Entries, but had acquired them somehow and was pretending to be Jay while posting them (which is illogical at this point). He uploaded this video of Jay going to the house, and then totheark comes along with footage of Jay in the house. That would, at least, make it impossible for Jay to be totheark, thus debunking the point of this theory, albeit the theory is still possible. That, however, is the same as saying "Well, you can't prove that Abraham Lincoln WASN'T a robot-zombie from the future", and as such, for now at least, I'm going to file it away with the Prank theory, the "Masky is a girl" theory, and of course, lest we forget, the Robot theory.

I am still amazed as to what theories and ideas come from something so simple and seemingly unrelated. Such as:

- totheark using the same text that Jay did in one response
= Jay = totheark

- Tim wearing Masky's jacket in Entry #20
= Masky ≠ totheark

- Masky causes distortion and missing footage
= Masky = Robot


I can't wait for the next Entry. If Jay really does go back to the house next, something epic will go down. (I still feel like he should be checking out that Bath House, or at least the area around it, but there could be some OOG reason(s) he can't.)

He's going back because it's been pointed out that both Tim's and Jay's coughing fits happened in the same hallway, and that several locations in that house had not been checked.

That's probably just the roundness of the mask you are seeing, and not his actual head. At this point it would be foolish to assume that Tim isn't Masky, as in Entry #20, they are, once again, shoving something down our throats. One of those "if you STILL haven't figured it out yet, here's ten more reasons" videos. Again, it's not 100%, but nothing is, so don't worry about it too much. =P

NEW TWEET

Coming just mere minutes (45 or so, forgive me im drunk) after the new totheark video, at 3:03 AM EST comes this tweet from marblehornets aka J

marblehornets: Have been trying to sleep for a while. No luck.

Aware that this isn't a big development, but somethings going on, and its confirmation that the people behind this havent forgot about us. I'm buffering the totheark video now so i may double post, but the goodnews is marblehornets is alive and well, and we should have some content coming soon

I'd love to see that list! I have a few questions as well... but it'd be great to drum up some more discussion and let the PM's know what we're still unclear about... XD
