Hey Guys, first time poster here. Just going to throw out a theory.

I think that the videos are meant for Jay, with the exception of "Messages". I'm a firm believer in the Alex is totheark theory. However, I do not believe that masky is Alex or Totheark.

I think that the masked guy is Tim, as shown by the Jacket worn in #19 and #20. I also think that Masky, messed up totheark's plan in #18.

After Jay fights with the Masky, and throws him down, the camera starts to move backward rapidly. Why would Jay run backwards instead of just turning? I think that Alex was in the house with him, grabbed him, and pulled him away from the Masky. Then as Jay was running out the door, Alex caught him and held him down, then gave him one of the pills, which made him forget what had happened (or so I believe.)

Now, in "Messages", I think that Alex knows that Tim has something to hide. Hence the Audio and Video distortion around tim. (See audio distortion in #20 and the video distortion on Tim's shadow in #17.) So Alex, knew that Tim was going to go find J, which is why the video ends by saying "Smile for the camera".

As it says that, a face fades in, now I have yet to scan through the 300 something pages on the trailhead, but has anyone pointed out that the face that fades in at the end, looks a lot like Tim? Specifically in the Jaw line and sideburns?

Just some thoughts of mine.


I can't argue with any of that.

The only issue I have is that Tim is shown taking those pills. I don't think that the pills are meant to make you forget, I think they're antipsychotics that were prescribed after Tim told his psychiatrist about Slenderman (giving another reason for everyone not to go to the cops).

We beat the "that looks like Tim" thing to death in both the trailhead and in the video specific thread. This is in the Table of Contents for the trailhead as well, you did not have to go through 300 pages, you didn't even have to go through one. So... Trout

Grrr. This again. I think I've made my point here, but just out of curiosity, what (other than pre-existing ARG protocol which may or may not apply here) is there to suggest that it's NOT the same Slenderman? I think it's a far greater leap to assume that it's not.

Theory seems pretty strong except for the purpose of the pills and Masky being separate from TTA seems a bit weak (i.e Return).

Also I have a bit of a theory, maybe a bit stupid. What if TTA is looking for the operator (Seth)? Whoever TTA is (I'm thinking Alex) knows where the rest of the cast is (with the exception of Brian possibly) except for Seth (Alex and Jay being the only ones who have an idea where Seth could be/knows what happened to him). Like I said, it is a bit of speculation and possibly stupid.

I am on board with this. Well, the part about TTA being someone looking for seth. I like the idea of 5 main characters. Just makes it seem like the story is so much bigger than just a guy trying to figure out what happened to his friend.

We still don't have any real clues about brian though. Just that TTA called him the Advocate. Kinda makes me think he should get his time in the story sometime soon.

 		Just stopping in to show you guys this:

Seems reasonably legitimate, but not positive. What does everybody think?

 		It's pretty interesting, that's for certain. Chances are, it's a gamejack. It doesn't show anything new or interesting, it doesn't seem to be furthering the plot. The best way for us to tell if it's legit is if Jay acknowledges it. If he hasn't, he probably won't.

 		Given that it's only footage we've already seen and information we already have, plus a few random words, I don't think it's anything to even be considered.

Maybe Brian brought Slendy into the story then it was spread throughout the cast like a virus. Me thinks Brian is Victim Zero.

Brian -> Tim -> Alex -> Jay (?)

No, I think taking just the information the fiction gives us is the best idea.[/quote]

And again I say, if this were an ARG set in Gotham City that had not named the shadowy cloaked figure Batman, would it be a stupid idea or a smart idea to pretend we don't already know based on context that it's Batman? Should we chase down erroneous leads because the information we've been given doesn't include the existence of someone called Batman? Or should we expand our scope just a little, take into account the context in which the trailhead was found (in this case, in the Paranormal Images thread on SA, responding directly to the Slenderman mythbuilding that was going on there), and form our opinions therefrom?

 		J, needs to make a move on the last video of "totheark" he spouts random words in which the last three are "waiting for you". I believe J needs to make his move and until that happens, will be waiting. Well, unless totheark gets impatient.

Random words that if you take the first letter from all of them it says 'PRECEDES TREES'

I think all he was talking about was the tower and the tape that was waiting for him there

Sage words.
Its Slenderman, now move on to things we HAVEN'T figured out.
