 		Well, the crew seemingly split into two factions last video. Evan and Jeff for taking down Slendy/finding Damsel and Vince for continuing to be Vince.
We're all favoring Evan and Jeff's side.
So we've tilted their dispute?

To tilt is to move something into a sloping position. Sloping downwards perhaps. In a way continues my theory that the "Begin." was the beginning of series of events (a downward slope, in a way) leading to inevitable death.

First post. Just sayin'.


That's realistic, but horribly, horribly depressing.

I'm going to jump on the boat supporting this interpretation. This seems to be exactly what's happening with the crew.

Fake Edit: Ugh, I hate being stuck in preview limbo when you guys keep posting!

 		dang someone beat me to it, but yeah the poker term makes sense for Jeff in the context of the last vid. He's blind, and now he's making bad decisions... of course I think everyones known that for a while now.

A better excerpt:

Quote:
The most common way to "tilt" is losing, often a recent victim of a bad beat, or being defeated in a particularly public and humiliating fashion.


I think this is our official "Alex has punched out" notification.

 		This seems different from the other tweets, like it might be trying to direct us towards something instead of just being creepy and menacing? I'm...not quite sure what, but I feel like we're missing something here.

Again, could be wrong. I could always be wrong and it could be metaphorical.

 		The poker term is a great, and convincing, find. Thanks, Ouroburos!

And TILTing is also what Slender Man does with his head. Just sayin'.

 		http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicant-induced_loss_of_tolerance there was also this on the wiki disambiguation but I think the poker term is likely the relevant one. Unless you count exposure to slenderman/rake as toxic.

No, I agree. They chose a word that has multiple meanings that all could be related to what's going on. We have to figure out which one and what it means.
I like the poker connection.

I'd take great comfort if Slendy was just tweeting, letting us know he was currently "tilting"

Especially since the Poker one is at least related to the Pinball tilt.
