Wow. Just wow. And it's not even the usual suspects creating all the drama this time .

I have two possibilities: 1) TTA did indeed send us to a video of someone typing to show us "how hands talk". I...don't really think it's anything but a cool coincidence, myself. Which leads me to:

2) the second tweet isn't a code at all; it's gibberish. The same kind we've gotten twice that I remember -entry #21, when Jay fell off the ladder he was climbing, and entry #72, when The Operator turned day into night.

I believe the second theory is more likely to be right. I can easily see Hoody -who I believe to be TTA- having what he was trying to tweet get messed up by interference caused by TO, and not noticing because he was too busy running for his life.

Of course, the most likely scenario is that the second tweet is a code, and we just haven't figured out how to solve it yet.

Is there any chance of combining the second tweet from just now with the garbled nonsense tweet from 72ish? Maybe together they are a code... Just throwing out the idea.

The chance of the YouTube thing being a coincidence is asymptotic to zero. I realize it's harsh to say "You guys are so stupid" but really, YouTube urls don't just randomly show up. That would never, ever happen, like ever. The only reason you'd think that was happening would be because you don't know what you're talking about. It just doesn't work like that. I don't know what else to tell you.

I don't know if Troy has ever confirmed anything OOG, but I remember during the Surveillance mess someone Facebook messaged him a potential solution and he did debunk it OOG. So it couldn't hurt to try.

I don't see why he WOULDN'T try something new BUT at LEAST stop calling it a coincidence! It isn't! It very very very much ISN'T. It is much more likely to be an accident! Like TTA accidentally had the end of the URL of that video still in his clipboard instead of what he actually wanted and ACCIDENTALLY pasted that instead. That is MUCH more likely.

It bothers me a bit that everyone is saying TTA has never done something like this... No he never linked to another video, but he has used stock footage on several occasions, including in Quadrant (as far as I can tell the guy with something in his mouth is stock footage of someone receiving shock therapy). In this instance he didn't edit it into the video, but I take the tweets as almost a PS to the video, like he was probably in a hurry to upload it given the circumstances of the characters currently, then went back and looked and realized he had failed to put in a key hint to breaking his own code.

There's nothing particularly subversive about totheark linking to a YouTube video. He does a lot of weird shit with codes, and he's constantly doing new things. I don't see why that is a deal.

I'm officially tired of this of having this conversation. A random 11 digit code using letters and numbers could be any of over 131 quadrillion codes, it's not gonna randomly pop out a YouTube video, literally nothing that unlikely has ever happened since the exact right combination of elements existed in the early universe allowing stars to form. You don't know how to math if you think that happened. This is just a math problem. I'm not gonna make anymore long, logical arguments about why 2+2=4, it just does. If you all want to keep having this conversation do it, I refuse to take part in it.

He has indeed used stock footage to communicate his message before. For that matter, there was one video in S1 where he was able to create a complete, coherent message that was actually somewhat relevant just by using audio from some old movie. Using other resources to get something across in a roundabout way isn't completely removed from his MO.
