 		Food for the multiple TTA theory- What if each video has a distinguishing mark as to which TTA it is? Such as...

Hoody- The 2 white dots that represent eyes
Skully- The Skull mask (as seen in entry... 26? I think? Whenever Alex sends Jay the tape asking for help. That thing)
Masky- Hell if I know... The Operator Symbol perhaps?

If that holds true, that can really shed some light as to piecing the story together. And before anyone gets on to me about multiple symbols in one TTA vid, there can be more than one maker per.

I like the idea of distinguishing marks, but those specific marks don't make sense. The bleeding eyes AND the operator symbol were both in this video, so it can't be those two. Also, the skull has yet to make a reappearance since 26.

 		Centroid
hey guys. just got here, had to post my research. if anyone has figured this out already, poop. but nothing about it has been posted on the wiki, so i'm putting this here: a quick google has informed me that "centroid" is some kind of brain wave having to do with memory. so, "Minus Centroid" could be something to do with the lost memories. If i may wax intellectual for a moment, this entry may be referring to the theory that your identity is created by your memories- if Jay or Alex can't remember big portions of their life, are they different people after the memories have been deleted? anyways, that's my two cents. off to do more research.




i hope somebody sees this... Neutral


ok, i cant reply to the thread for some reason, but here's what i found on wikipedia. the Centroid is the center of something (duh, homonym) so if something is minus centroid it is without a center. we are missing the center of this problem- the reason all of this is happening. which is, unfortunately, not new information. however, if the "centroid" of this particular problem (aka the Operator) has something to do with who Jay (or Alex?) is, then we need to know more about the guys themselves to know what is going on.

i can't help but think that this whole Operator thing has something to do with Alex's childhood. That video of him as a kid, what happened on his birthday? that's the key, as far as i'm concerned, which is why Alex is probably confused about why Slendy showed up in Rosswood, he didn't grow up in that area. off to dig around some more!

 		I did. I don't remember anyone mentioning that, and that is a pretty good theory.

I'm probably off on the Operator symbol. It's been used in so many videos that it is probably a general signature.

[Tangent](Actually, that does remind me of something. In the Haunted Majoras Mask saga, The main character usually gave a sign to show that a part of a video (bear with me on this) was uncorrupted by Ben, the antagonist. Could that be what the operator symbol is in the videos? A sign to trust this part? It is an'X' crossing out an 'O' anyway. But moving on.)[/tangent]

And, you're right. Skully (who I believe to be Alex, if anyone) is inactive. Which could relate to the fact of Alex's death, if that theory is true. I feel like I'm getting somewhere here, but I'm not sure. Anyway, what do you think Masky's "mark" could be? His appearance? A certain distortion?

I see it Very Happy
and good find, I didn't see that before, and we all just assumed some sort of geometry reference (sorry if I missed that somebody mentioned this before also).

So I think that this leans towards that the footage behind the zeros is from the seventh month lapse.

(edit) fixed it! i can't seem to find anything more on Centroid brain waves, so i guess i'm only half right- memories are the core of our experience and learning, so they are central, right? here's what i found on wikipedia. the Centroid is the center of something (duh, homonym) so if something is minus centroid it is without a center. we are missing the center of this problem- the reason all of this is happening. which is, unfortunately, not new information. however, if the "centroid" of this particular problem (aka the Operator) has something to do with who Jay (or Alex?) is, then we need to know more about the guys themselves to know what is going on.

 		Poking through a handful of other entries, I noticed something:

Does the "face" that we see at the end of Entry 22 (before Alex's monologue) look very similar to the first face we see in Inquiry to anyone else?

Could this be a reference to Seth somehow?

Wow, very good theory man! So the obvious thing thats missing is the seventh month period. So even more of a reason that shit went down in the seventh month period!

The car in the still pic looks VERY much like Alex's


Good catch on that. I thought it was Jay's but the low profile matches Alex's car much better.

I looked at that and it doesnt resemble that much from the video, and for a bit I thought it was a image of a brain lol

So maybe it was TTA filming either jay or alex, which is when it said "do I help him, or do I kill him?"

Amazing first post man. I like the idea that memories make us who we are and if someone were to forget who they were, who would they be? I took some psychology a few years ago and there is a thing called fugue where someone forgets who they are and starts a completely new life while forgetting their old life. Maybe that is what TTA is, someone trying to forget their life? Or someone who forgot already. Just an idea. TTA seems confused in this video. I've kinda always supported the multiple TTAs what with the "we will wait for you no more" and "return to us" I do not think they would refer to themselves as royal, as that has been suggested before but makes no sense to me.

I am a little confused about locations. Do we know where Alex grew up? Did he grow up in the area of where Marble Hornets was filmed (season 1)? i thought he moved out of state, so did he move back to where he grew up? I remember the entry where Alex lists off the people who were "gone" and he says he's going back to his "home", is this when he moved to another state (or back to a state)? Can someone help me out here?
