TTA/Masky is provably Tim.

Bear in mind, the apparently earliest filmed TTA video coincides directly with one of the earliest chronological entries, filmed by Alex and J while they were in the early pre-production stages of MH (presumably before they'd even met several members of the Marble Hornets cast/crew). This means that J and probably Alex have had someone on their back for a long time, which explains how it was possible for them to track J's progress from hotel to hotel at the end of season 1.

If TTA is just one person (which is most likely), and he's also the masked man (which is most likely, especially considering J has stated he thinks he is, and he shows up in TTA videos), the circumstances of that earliest video pairing prove that TTA isn't Alex, and it also proves that he isn't J (he couldn't be hiding in the bushes filming himself, or run away from himself in Entry 23, after all). It also proves he had a connection either to the Operator or Alex/J way before filming even began on Marble Hornets.

It also means that he probably knows more about what's going on (at least in the first season) than any other character, which presumably means that he hasn't been suffering from amnesia, or at least hasn't suffered as badly as J did.

We know it can't be Seth, because he apparently gets eaten in Entry 22. It also obviously isn't Jessica: She's never once mentioned before her introduction by anyone in any context.

That means the only possibilities are Tim, Brian, and Sarah. It's not Sarah, as the jawline and general body shape are definitely male.

Which leaves Brian and Tim. While Brian at first seems the obvious candidate (he knew Alex at least for years prior to filming), he disappears fairly early on and is never seen again, and when J investigates his house (after receiving an "anonymous tip", it's clearly been abandoned for a long time). Tim, however, has five things going for him:

1. Sideburns.
2. He was apparently roped into the production as a friend of the lead actor. Seems fine, but Marble Hornets is being filmed in the middle of nowhere, so it's reasonable to presume he lives quite nearby, otherwise it'd be massively inconvenient for him.
3. He's been shown lying in once before (the fact that he seems reluctant even to have the camera on, let alone pointing at his face, suggests he isn't suffering from amnesia, especially when considering what happened to Alex when he had a camera trained on him for more than a few seconds).
4. Sideburns.

The only piece of evidence which even remotely suggests there's another one is the different mask in Entry 26, and since in 23 the guy either leaves his mask (or a spare) on the doorhandle, it could just as easily mean he was using different masks. Plastic masks on elastic aren't exactly hard to come by.

He's probably still present in-game, but hasn't revealed himself yet because he either A: Doesn't know J's whereabouts (unlikely, seeing as he's been keeping tabs on him so long) or B: Because he doesn't have anything useful to tell him yet. Whatever his motives are, every video TTA posted provided some kind of information for J to varying degrees of opaqueness, be they hints or additional footage, even if many of them were threatening/haven't been solved yet. It's likely he's waiting for J to give him something to work with, or he doesn't exactly know what's going on himself now and thus can't help.

Wow! I appreciate your thoroughness and your thoughtfulness. However, two things:

1. You left out a number of Tim-related supporting evidence, such as his jacket, and the fact that the bottom half of Tim's face is overlaid over the last section of totheark's entry, "Messages".

2. This is the one widely agreed-upon piece of information throughout the viewership, and has been since before the season break. Go read some of the existing threads to bone up (ha, ha) on the existing theories -- and welcome to the madness!

Jesus christ people! I was gone a day and in that time we had a massive trout storm from a bunch of lazy noobs followed by a self-appointed moderator storm rife with rageposts. I'm seriously doubting the usefulness and relevance of this forum to the story now. Too many posts to read (if you have a life) so we are only going to get more troutstorms and self-appointed mod backlash in the future.

I......still think TTA is dead, OR something about the Hotel kept him away, masky (in my opinion) is most likely nothing supernatural, it's just Tim gone crazy (he may have killed Brian, more on that to come) The lack of TTa activity hints that Alex was TTA and is strugling to find somewhere else to hide, and thus can't post anymore videos. People are way overreacting about Masky, we have no proof that he's related to The Operator in any way other than just being around.

I really REALLY don't think that Masky and TTA are the same person. It's possible that TTa is Brian and Alex working Together

Let's please not derail this thread into fighting.

[TheBioGuy]

A) Sweet fluffy awesomeness! Dray quoted me favorably! I have now achieved positive response status from the two posters I absolutely most respect here on these our forums... :happytears:

B) yes, lets not fight. I love most of us. Except the occasional n00b, and even then, I love them, but also want to punch them.

C) I NEED MOAR MARBLEHORNETS LIKE NAOW. Clearly, the influx of trout, n00bishness, bickering, OT-ness, trolling (well, some), and off-the-wall speculation is due to a high-suspense video with NO FOLLOW UP!

I'M DYING IN ALL-CAPITALS HERE, GUYS!

D) I like distilled's theory on masky. Not that I buy it, but he or she politely posited the theory and made it clear when the theory was pure spec and opinion and when it was not. This is not to say I believe it, but thanks for posting a theory right.

Thanks BioGuy, I try to be polite!

[offtopic]And Morrigan, on some level I agree with you - sometimes we can be too quick to chastise newcomers who don't know the rules. However, if we point people in the right direction of the information they're asking for, or in the direction of the thread in which their theory has been discussed into infinity then we both benefit. I think the key is to do it in such a way as to encourage them to look at the information and consider whether a new thread is always appropriate, rather than tell them off and discourage them from ever posting a thread again. I also believe it is well within a normal posters' (such as JKat/Dray etc) rights to highlight the trout to the newcomer, as long as it is done in a reasonable manner.[/offtopic]
