Point 1: The video id is the Base64 translation of the tweet

Point 2: the tweet 30 minutes prior is also a base64 code which was the question "how do hands talk"

Point 3: The video answers the question

Question and answer have the same solution.

The Answer is "They Type".

My theory past this is that TTA wants Jay to type instead of being quiet.

This could indicate something has already happened and Jay is being quiet about it and TTA is once again impatient because of his inefficiency.

--edit---

Google is not needed to get the answer if you convert the tweet from base64 and plug it straight into youtube as a video ID you get the answer to the previous tweet.

Google served the same function as the converters do, it did the work.


You do realize that your theory makes absolutely no sense even for TTA standards? Which is why you are wrong.

It's very simple and logical, I do not see how it could be confusing.

You got it by doing something randomly. If you do it randomly, the result is not logical and can therefore not be correct. The cipher before it resulted in a phrase. Every code that has come before it has been a phrase. Why would they point to a random video that was posted 2 years ago by someone not affiliated with Marble Hornets? You are wrong.

Are you seriously arguing about this... It's a totheark thing. It's not supposed to be super useful. Totheark just asked "how do hands talk?" then posted the answer, which is "by typing", a little bit later using a video.

That's it. No game solving riddle. Just the usual totheark cryptic BS... It's not worth completely ripping on each other and starting a 2 page argument over.

Not every one has been a straight phrase, some have resulted in other encoded messages. This one provided a video ID. If it was such an illogical solution it is amazing that yarnperson attempted the same solution to the Quadrant code before the tweets and answer were posted and that 2 different people came up with the same answer independently of each other.

Except that you forget the VERY IMPORTANT detail about the creators not using outside ANYTHING to point to or solve puzzles. EVERYTHING about Marble Hornets is self contained. Word of creator trumps stupid fucking video posted 2 years ago.

The code does NOT point to the video. It is a coincidence. Marble Hornets and everything related to it are self contained. That includes all puzzles from TTA. This comes from the creators themselves. Don't believe me? Ask them.

By which method of inquiry do they most often respond to fan questions?

You are absolutely derailing this thread. You would have to be a stubborn idiot to not fucking realize that IF THE PREVIOUS TWEET WAS BASE64 AND THE NEW TWEET, WHEN RUN THROUGH BASE64, PRODUCES A RESULT THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE AN OBVIOUS ANSWER TO THE PREVIOUS ONE, THAT MEANS THEY ARE CONNECTED. Do you even realize how impossible it is for their to be coincidences in base64? or youtube urls for that matter? the odds of a decoded message happening to fit the number of characters in a youtube url, much less use the exact same system as youtube urls and the characters matching up to an already existing video by coincidence are astronomically low.

Could you guys please take your argument somewhere else? No one else wants to read this.

I personally use a 3 shot system. If something coincidental has 3 things making it appear not coincidental, I accept it as the latter.

This uses the same code system as the previous tweet. It has the direct url to an existing youtube video. The youtube video answers the first tweet. If you can find a better solution, feel free, and rub it in our face then. But don't derail 2 threads and start a flame war without any evidence against it. Take it to private messages if you need to argue.

If the code that was produced actually produced the full youtube URL to that video, I would believe you. But it doesn't.

You want 3 ways it doesn't fit?

1. Video was posted 2 years ago.

2. Video is by a user that is in no way affiliated with Marble Hornets.

3. The only thing you think connects it is a garbled result that someone googled because they couldn't actually figure out the code.

1 and 2. oog
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Troy probably just searched for "typing on old keyboard" into youtube, found this video as the 3rd search result since the first 2 didn't actually show someone typing, then put it as base 64. It isn't affiliated, but it wasn't meant to show anything special, just give us the answer to the first question


3. We've told you multiple times, you don't have to google it. That just happens to be how the first guy found it. The second dZ80bIUEMyQ was posted as the base 64 I knew it's the standard ending to a youtube video. You post this string on sites that don't allow you to link to youtube. Ironically you had to do this in the comment section of youtube itself.

I am kinda sick of this BS too.
twistedpuppet it is entirely fine you don't agree with everyone here, how about instead of complaining and trying to prove everyone wrong you go find a different working theory rather than perpetuate pointless arguing that derails the thread and confuses others who come here to learn and potentially help.

ReverendJ you aren't helping much ether and are just egging twistedpuppet on. It's fine to be solidified in your beliefs but why don't you help him in formulating other theory's and open your mind a bit. I mean we all come here for information, or are trying to help. Claiming you are right helps no one, new or other theory's would help people, there is plenty of evidence pointing toward the video to answer a riddle and if people want to believe that it is entirely their prerogative to do so.
