Doesn't the audio in both Regards and Warning sound very alike? One may be slightly higher but to me they sound almost the exact same.

Personally I think this video is TTA's way of telling J what will happen via mocking his previous entries. Starting from the intro video all the way to whichever is last mentioned vid. I'll keep watching and see if anything else jumps at me.

OH GOD EYES MOVING IN THE MASK WHY WOULD THEY AUGH

brb sobbing


[edit]

Also guys, I'm pretty sure there are two masks in the video, but not the way it's been brought up. You see one mask being worn with eyeholes cut and another mask being displayed with writing across the eyes. That wouldn't be possible with eyeholes. The scap that Greenansatsu posted shows it perfectly. That would also account for the slight diferences in the black painting around the eyes, since the creators would OOG have to get a second mask to do that and there is no way they could have made it 100% exactly like the original mask.

I thought it was paper underneath the mask..


edit:
also, for those of you who know how to take a video and make a gif out of part of it, I would love a gif of the part where Masky's eyes are rolling around if you happen to have the time to make one

Not going to make a huge long post quoting alll the theories I want to debunk, but I'm just gonna say - guys, Alex is Masky. You're not handwriting analysts and the distortion is what makes it look like two masks, etc. etc. I'm just glad we didn't get a shot of his ear or else we'd have theories over the size of his ear lobes again.

Granted, the fact that the "raw footage" thing is a quote from J rather than unique to this video has some validity, and is the only thing that makes me question if Alex is Masky thus far, but I still don't think they'd write that unless Alex was Masky because otherwise its really very misleading IMHO.

No one's pretending to be an handwriting analyst, we're just looking at it and making observations and if you don't want to read it, you don't have to, but personally it's something I have fun doing so I'm going to continue to look at minor details

I don't know, the ear lobe analysis was pretty awesome.... Seriously, all of this in-depth study is what I find so entertaining Very Happy

I thought it was two masks, but after reading about the video distortion, I suppose it could just be one. However, the eye rolling mask and the mask with words written in the eye holes have different shaped eye holes, and it doesn't look like there's any vertical/ horizontal distortion there.

Maybe Masky has a spare mask?

Or Masky has a masks for those who will join them.

Don't get me wrong, trying to figure out whats going to happen/who is who before the cast reveal it is as fun for me as the next guy, I just feel that the majority of people here seem to make theories that don't quite fit with what we're given and so they come up with a lot of assumptions to make it fit - from two Masky masks to, what was it, Masky was a robot once or something? Y'know.
But like I said don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with people making theories as realistic or as crazy as they like, its just in my nature to try and disprove the ones that don't hold up IMO, there's no malice in that.

personally I don't see it as a spare mask, i see it as two different people wearing the masks. Even with the distortions I think they are really different and don't look similar. I really think that the person in 19 is different from 18 and 23. They just don't look the same to me, and this might explain the "us" in the video, and a few of the discrepancies in the TTA videos.

Plausible, though I still think there's only one mask and thus it would look the same no matter who its on, but more importantly it doesn't really add anything to the plot for there to be multiple maskies, he hasn't seem to have moved around places really fast or do things that would be impossible without being in two places at once. With no obvious signs that there's more than one and no real reason for there to be more than one, I don't think its likely.

There seem to be two sets of messages here. The first set acts as a list of important "firsts" in the series:
- "The following are raw footage excerpts from Alex Kralie" - Introduction (Entry 0 - first post by J)
- "Smile for the camera - Messages (totheark response to Entry 18 - first entrance to the house)
- "Regards" - Regards (totheark response to Entry 9 - first sighting of Seth and Tim)
The second set acts as a sequence of warnings from Masky:
- "Eyes Open"
- "Stay Home"
- "Be Alone"
- "Smile For Death"

As a response to J's recent claim that he is giving up, it is apparent that Masky knows this leads to failure/death ("Warning - failure nigh" is the title and description of the video). His sequence of warnings (listed above) seem to be a prediction of what will happen to J. I interpret "Eyes Open" as "heed my warning", "stay home/be alone" as a short description of J's current activities, and "smile for death" as "this is what will happen if you don't get out of the house".

Some other stray thoughts:
- Dragging the time-tracker around in YouTube makes for an interesting clip show. If you do this near the end of the video (right before "Regards") the mannequin does a little bow.
- This video featured recurring elements of eyes and mouth (smile). "Eyes Open" seemed positive, while "smile" seemed negative. Could explain why the mask only has eye holes.
- If Tim is Masky, and Tim needs to take meds/water all the time, why wouldn't he have a mouth hole in the mask?
- The group of circles that get X's through them later...are those supposed to be faces? Do the X's represent getting taken/wiped by SM? A different amount of faces are X'd out each frame: +1, +2, +3, +2, +6. That's 14 total circles with X's through them...and the whole board gets a big eraser X through it at the end.
- Masky's head turn at 0:36 really looks like Masky has sideburns.
- "Stay home"/"be alone" is written on paper with the mask put on top of it. Note that there are two light sources on the mask (0:16).

Well, if Mr. Thin really doesn't have a face, then it is possible he steals yours. This also tracks well when you think about Slender Man's lack of a face. Could it be possible that Slender Man has some kind of affect upon the eyes, a real affect like those observed in the Just Another Fool side story?

Just happy I'm left eye dominate. <Smiles>

I took TTA's advice and listened closely. Specifically, to the tones in this video. More specifically, I sat there and counted them. Some of the tones overlap, but I counted them anyway. If you count them, ending with the low tone for each number, you get this:

4-4-2-5-4-5-3-5-3 (no low tone at the end of the last one).

Multiply that string of numbers together and you get 144,000. I can't help but feel like this is somehow significant, because that's an awfully specific and culturally special number for the number of tones to multiply into.

It's also interesting in light of this:

Quote:

If you multiply 1 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 6, you get 72, another culturally significant number.

Take that how you will.
