I think Tim was hiding behind a tree or something and perhaps bashed him with a rock. We don't see a third masked person, so it doesn't make much sense to me to assume one's there at this point.


Seriously? This is marble freaking hornets. The whole point of this is that you can't see half of the shit that's going down. I STILL can't see freaking Operator in this entry(screenshot?). In any case you're right, there's no reason to ASSUME that there were three of them, but the POSSIBILITY that there were three has some compelling reasons to believe it--I'm not convinced that Tim could have hit Alex with the rock, given that Alex managed to push it aside once he was on the ground very easily.

The "Sad Panda Effect" comes from #22, I think. Troy called it a sad panda in the commentary.

I know Smile
I just thought the term Sad Panda was a fitting way to describe a full-time masked Tim who can't eat.

Joseph was the one that said its name, my favorite effect name, wish it came on all Video Editors.

EDIT: I know this only due to listening to the comentaty today because due to the tweets I thought an Entry was about to happen, not due to memorizing the commentary. Razz

i still see no limp while he's running. if that was the case alex would have caught up to him way before. it's hard enough to outrun someone who is taller and thinner than you and has motivation to get you, even moreso when you have had your leg smashed with a rock 3 months prior. hairline fractures could take a long time to heal, but a smash to the leg with a rock is far more severe than that. 3 months seems like such a short amount of time for it to heal.

so again, believe what you want, but i can see clear as day that it's not tim.

i dont' know why you're all so quick to believe it's him just because of the rock, even though his sideburns are nearly two inches shorter. it could easily be another masky saying "you took out our friend, i should smash your face like you smashed his leg"


My friend got into an accident in which she broke both her ankles, well shattered one and had a hairline fracture in the other. She still needs to brace her shattered ankle, but at just 2 months later, it's almost completely healed and she's walking. So it's not unrealistic.

As for Tim, I'm pretty sure it's him, just because of the mask and the rock, however, I do like the "You hurt our friend" theory, I just really think it's Tim.

And ohhh how I wish I had a better computer with better quality because that video was just unclear and wasn't playing well. So I pretty much freaked out when I saw the picture of the operator, who made Alex a bad man Razz.

After the speculations about Tim (here and beforehand) I had to wonder...what would happen to us if Tim...shaved his chops???????? Dun dun dun! There would be a shitstorm!

Anyway, his leg looked semi-healed, he didn't have a cast or a brace that we can see, and, we don't exactly know HOW 'broken' the leg actually was, or how fast he may heal (extra powers?). Also, when you're mad at someone, as you can see very easily that Tim IS, you can do a lot, especially with adrenaline. There were only a couple steps beforehand, so, I figure he got all riled up, charged him, then his leg was like OUCH MOFO, that's why he limp-sat. But then we do see him trot away from the scaryness lol so, I think there were only 2 peeps.

I can't decide what I like more: The mental image of Tim taking Alex down and then hobbling around in a little circle going 'Ow, ow, my fucking leg.' OR two Maskies setting up the ambush so that their poor injured friend Tim can have his grizzly murder-filled revenge and they can all give each other high-fives.

When Alex gets tackled he is holding his face because (I believe) his glasses were swatted roughly from his face. As a person with glasses, that can hurt. Then Tim smashes the glasses with the rock. That is what I see happening, not Tim missing Alex's face.

Something occurs to me--how exactly was Alex taken down to the ground? I don't see how Hoody could have done it, and while Tim seems like the obvious choice, first of all he's limping, which makes his tackling and sneaking abilities less reliable. As well, if he tackled Alex, shouldn't he have been on top of him right off the bat, instead of limping his way over there?

Why is this important? Because it seems to me extremely likely that there was A THIRD MEMBER OF TOTHEARK present at this entry--he/she was simply standing or sitting behind that camera during the final sequence.


DANG! I noticed that immediately my second time watching, and was hoping nobody else did. But yeah... actually listen to the footsteps approaching Alex before the attack (start at about 2:18) then compare that pacing to the video of Masky hobbling away from the (supposed) Operator at 2:40.

I think the actual ambusher and the person sitting behind the camera while Masky is choking Alex is Hoody, and the bait that Alex chased was someone new (as has been suggested.) Crank the video up to 720p and full screen it, then go to 2:38. When the person in the hoody looks up at the (supposed) Operator, it's pretty clear that there is no frown, and with the person's head turned, those dark "eyes" look like sunglasses.

Edit: removed a smiley

Agreed on the glasses, and good idea on him crushing his glasses, would make sense you Tim would just come up with a rock and slam it next to his head.

I'm gonna address a couple different points. New point denoted by new paragraph.

As much as I would like to believe that's slendy out the window, I really doubt it.
1) He's have to be really close to the house for his head to be that large. If you look, the top of the head is cut off by the roof of the porch, not to mention he'd have to have his legs cut off to be at that height anyway.
2) His "tie". There's too much exposed imo, and I don't recall ever seeing slendy with an open jacket.

What's more interesting, I believe is why Alex originally went out without a camera. For someone as paranoid as he is, especially after a recent contact with the Operator, it just seems strange. Going along with the 'Alex is in cahoots with the Operator' theory, maybe Alex did see the Operator outside and went to see him. Or maybe he was gonna go someplace where he could see Mr. O (and lead him to the ark?). But instead, he saw New Masky (Nasky?), grabbed his camera, and started chasing him.

Tim=Masky=guy with the rock. As for people questioning why he'd carry the rock around for so long, who says he did? I think it's perfectly logical to think that once they had made plans to murder/scare Alex. It just doesn't make any sense to give someone else the mask at this point--especially since he has that huge limp.

Why did Masky and Nasky choose to lure Alex to the woods? Where's Blasky? To go along with the aforementioned Alex theory, maybe they didn't plan to kill him, but make him feel like he was gonna die. There used to be this theory that the Operator was connected to bad emotions. Perhaps Alex's fright/anger/etc. was able to summon the Operator--which is exactly what the TTA group was testing for. If that's the case, it makes perfect sense that Blasky isn't there. Don't want to put all your eggs in the same basket, should anything go wrong--like the Operator killing everyone there.

"The next time I see you, I'll kill you!". Maybe Alex was the cause of the blood in the tunnel from noentry. Maybe it was Blasky's blood. If Blasky was TTA #1, that would explain why the entries are so different in season 2--he was no longer there to direct them.

That image of the Operator at the end--the one from #40 (it definitely is--you can see the same open space and the same trees if you look at ZombiePiggy's comparison pic). OMG what does it mean. What freaks me out the most about it is that it has no business being there. It's obviously not from this camera.
1)If it was from the same tape, then Jay would have come across this footage a while ago.
2)This camera is probably digital only, seeing as there's no physical tape--only the file on the hard drive. 40 was found while Jay was still going through the tapes, iirc.
3)Alex wasn't there. He couldn't have been filming, and no one else should have had his camera.
So where does that leave us? The only real answer I can think of is that the Operator has the ability to project images. Maybe only digitally, maybe telepathically as well, but this might be how the Operator communicates. So, what is he saying? "I let your friend go before, now I saved you. I'm on your side", "I let your friend go before, now I saved you. Time to give me what I want (the ark?)" , "I let your friend go before, you won't be so lucky" O.O

(I started typing this on page 14. You guys post too much :c )
