Show, don't tell.

Don't say: "look at the damn videos!", because I could just as well answer: "look at the damn videos, the tie is clearly black!" or even "Operator is obviously wearing purple pajamas, how can you not see this?", and this is the road that leads nowhere.

Instead, take some screenshots, post them and let the solid evidence do the talking for you.

I don't buy the "there's more than one operator" theory. I feel like there would have been more hints to that effect if that was the case.


Agreed

Show don't tell is the line useless high school English teachers tell kids so that they stop proselytizing in their essays.

If you have an alternate explanation of why TO has a magical color-changing tie, offer it. If not, admit you are a lazy, don't know why, and can't be bothered. But YOUR unwillingness to provide an alternative explanation is not my problem.

Other than different ties, how on earth could we know there were 2 TO's? What WOULD be the data on that subject? If you have an idea, we can look for it. If not, then you again, have to accept you don't actually have a good explanation.

You seem upset.

Ohh, I get it. There's one republican TO, one democrat.

This whole thing is a political commentary.

Seriously, like it or not, the burden of proof is on you - if you want us to agree with you, you gotta earn it.

Wrong. You're the one proposing the theory. The burden of proving it is yours. You don't get the option to make us do the work for you. You can't just say, "I'm right until you disprove me."

By refusing to back up your theories with proof, and still expecting us to believe them, you are in effect saying that you are lazy and can't be bothered.

Pretty much. I was just going to respond with "self fail?", but that's nicer.

Guys, if you take all the audio from every TTA video, reverse it, pitch it up by 70%, speed it up by 50%, and combine all tracks together into one file. it says who TTA is.

Don't want to do it yourself? Fuck you, I'm not going to prove it. That's your problem, you lazy bastard.

here's my two cents

the fact that tta says "did you see what he did to the twins" signifies two things

1) the person tta is talking to isn't in direct contact with him (meaning they don't meet up to talk, no phone calls, etc) - he talks to him through the videos. if they had direct contact, tta wouldn't have had to make a video to ask the person if they saw it or not. this implies that TTA and the person he's speaking to aren't in cahoots. in the past we've seen TTA directly address jay (i've left you so many clues (or something along those lines)) - but we also know that TTA is multiple people.

2) the footage of "the twins" is something we've already seen. i believe TTA is talking to this person regarding the entries jay is posting and not some other event that we haven't seen yet.


as far as who TTA is talking to, i see one of 3 options

1) talking to alex about jay
2) talking to jay about alex (more likely)
3) TTA is alex talking to jay, and the twins are hoody/masky

i highly doubt that "the twins" refers to jay as a split personality. troy and joseph could have thought of a million better things to phrase it as instead of that if that were the case. as far as two slendys (red/black tie) - i guess it's possible but it would ruin the creepiness factor for me if that were the case.


and as far as hoody/masky being in TTA, it's doubtful. in the latest entry, they run away when slendy teleports in. however in return and admission, we see tta film slendy and allow him to come within a few feet of him with no fear.

Have we ruled out that the twins line doesn't translate to anything else? That "the twins" is the only possible translation that isn't totally nonsensical? And if we have, then have we considered why the code changes after the first line? I'm genuinely asking; so many theories get tossed around so quickly that it's hard to tell the thought progression behind each one.

Also, possible embarrassingly self-revelatory question ahead: my YouTube account never notifies me of TTa or MH vids, despite being subbed and set to notify via email. Works for other series, though. Am I just YouTube-stupid or something?

Just chiming in to say that I have a red tie that can look pretty dark, almost black/blue-ish in the correct lighting. Sleight is insane (and not good with ties).

considering the other two lines translate the same way, and "the twins" is perfect english, it's highly unlikely.

"did you see what he did to the twins"

It's

-I KNOW YOU'RE THERE
-THE TWINS
-DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID
-I SAW IT

That said, for some reason, reading that, I can't stop thinking about the line from Death Note. "L, do you know - gods of death - love apples".

It's a simple alphanumeric cipher, where the number is an ordinal corresponding to a letter of the alphabet, beginning with A=1 and ending Z=26. The other "lines" of numbers work with the same cipher, multiplying the alphanumeric ordinal by three.

This is a cipher that has been used before, so I see no reason to consider it invalid.

The simplest explanation for the "red" tie, is the same explanation for "red" eyes during a photo, its caused my light reflection off of the material, the only time I've noticed red, anywhere on the Operator is in distortion, and in reflections, like the window in 46. Also why some people saw dark blue in 40, the color may be black, but the material that most ties have, has that bit-o-shine in it, that's your cause.
