There are some things worse. You could forget a subtle, not hidden and perhaps very significant clue, event or something like that.

Didn't anyone see that the Warning wasn't a reply?

So, instead of discussing the sideburns of our masked marvel of indecision, why not check the relevance of this?

Theories:
1- TTA will become more and more and more and even more active. How that will affect the videos? The release frequency? Lenght? Less cryptic?
2- TTA is coming out of the closet and teaming up with J? Is he showing his true face? (And don't come with this TTA is Masked Man is [Tim|Seth|Sarah|Brian|GW Bush|Obama|Oprah] because of his [hair|sideburns|jacket|shirt|ID]. Treat them as individuals, instead of trying guessing)
3- Is this making J come back? He was talking kind like Alex in 22. Perhaps he is passing the torch?

So much for Warnings, let's talk about SM:
2 Things that make me want to stop lurking around and just ask are:
1- Which kind of evil are we talking about? It's the "slaughterhouse evil" or is the more subtle "subvertion evil"? Slaughterhouse is pretty much easy to understand, but the second type is the one kind of evil that bring you to his side, probably willingly.
2- Is SM supernatural or scientific?
3-About this SM sickness, how do you people figured that out?

Re: TTA becoming a more active part of the show: I agree. I'm not sure if he's going to take over or not. It seems that Jay needs more goading than usual, so it's likely that TTA is willing to keep things moving forward even if that means posting more. Things haven't reached their conclusion... I'm not sure if he's going to ramp it up all the way to the end. That's more likely only if Jay remains adamant against continuing.

TTA remains cryptic-but-not as per the usual MO. Again, this latest could be somewhat less cryptic in order to more clearly jab at Jay to get off his derriere. I'm not sure that we can say that TTA is teaming up with Jay or is more clearly stating that he's against him. It seems as though TTA is only a force to get the ball moving again to whatever conclusion that might be. It could just be that helping Jay could temporarily coincide with his ultimate plans. Not so many morals as chess moves.

Doubt he's passing the torch. Seems too full of himself. He mocks Jay. Jay doesn't seem 'ready' yet if that's his ultimate goal. More likely just trying to keep him from stalling out. Jay's fate is probably doomed either way. More fun to tug his chain to the more interesting end, don't you think?

Re: Masky being X, Y, or Z, it's just for fun. Guessing who's behind the mask is something we don't actually often get to do. In comics for example we tend to see it from the hero's point of view so we know who the secret identity is from the start. It's refreshing to have things the other way around!

Re: Slendy's motives: I think the joy and the terror in this creature/man/thing is that he is ultimately ambiguous about his goals, if he even has any. He could be some effed up force of nature that manifests like a person, for all we know. Don't think we can come to an conclusions; Slendy does not seem especially affiliated with Masky or TTA (or both if they are the same). He's an outside force.

SM's sickness is pretty interesting. Seems to affect Jay and Tim the same way, but not Alex? Maybe there are interesting implications involved there.

Just random speculation. 

Masky is being regressed to a child. But then put that together with the handwriting. It steadily gets worse through the video. i.e. More childlike! Also he is now repeating what other people have said which is a very childish trait. 

The questions are though:
Is he repeating just like a child learning, as child taunting/annoying or is it to help Jay?
Could this mean masky is getting worse?
Does he need saved himself? 

Well it's probably too late now.

Seems possible that people who are friends could act like that. Or at least are in cahoots!

Why has nobody given thought to multiple maskies?

[Dray]

Plenty of people have, even so far as to suggest that the masks used in 'Warning' are different. It's just that we can't really tell for sure... they're all wearing the same-looking mask, so until we get something more solid than "lol he's wearing a different shirt!" we're kind of stuck.

Somehow, just looking at it, "Smile for Death" rearranged itself into "fear doth smile," at least in my head. Many biologists think the smile originated as a sign of fear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smile I wonder if that has something to do with the fact that Slendy, having no mouth, cannot smile? Not for the camera, death, or anything else. In that sense, Masky can't really smile either, or if he did no one would see it.

Also, the messages were interesting. The first, "eyes open," seems to be good advice, and has a few deeper meanings. Don't go to sleep, don't blink or you'll miss it, "look closely" (the message from Regards), etc. If Jay is in fact losing his memories, maybe he needs to stop closing his eyes. The next two messages were written IN the masks eyes, which at first I thought was on Masky's face and he merely had his "eyes closed." It later occurred to me that the mask wasn't "seeing" since it was not being worn and had no eyes, and those messages (stay at home, be alone) seem to say, "If you close your eyes, deny/ignore what you've seen, and do this, then smile for the camera" meaning that there will be more instances like Exit and Return, where Jay will be on camera whether he knows/likes it or not.

"Regards," like I said before, could be a reference to the entry titled thus and it's message of "look closely," but my first impression was that it meant something more sarcastic. "Oh, good luck idiot, my regards to Slenderman/Tim/Alex/Seth/TTA/Santa/Amelia Earhart when they show up at your house while you're home alone. Have fun with that."

Could very well be plausible! I think you've got the right idea at the very least!

Hrm...Fear. That would fit with the JAF story too. He could have just been the only man in his unit who didn't show fear, he went straight into shock. And that kept him alive. And that's why Mr. Thin strangled him, he couldn't do what he normally does due to the PTSD.

[badluckshadow13]

It doesn't have to fit in with JAF, they're not by the same person you know.
They're both just loose interpretations of SA's Slenderman mythos, that's all.
