ModEdit (Zarggg): Not up to me, but quoting the spam doesn't help the problem.

This guy gonna get banned?

Edit: didn't thought about it. Sorry everyone, my bad.

I'm hardly a proponent of the "Operator has tentacles theory", but I sort of want to believe that Jay was thrown around the room by his slendicles.

I'd like to reopen discussion here, because I've just been reading through the timeline on the wiki... and I'm not so sure about the placement of this entry anymore.

Originally, we had it as November 22, 2010, as that is the day before Jay wakes up at the hotel with amnesia and starts posting videos again. However, the last tweet we had from his account a week prior said "wake up". If we go with the current ordering of things, that was posted before Jay's confrontation with Alex and the Operator.

Why would TTA -- who I am presuming commandeered Jay's Twitter account for that and the two prior posts (the infamous "smile for the camera" and "Masky 23" images) -- post that before Jay was even "asleep"? I'm starting to think that the events of 52 were more towards the beginning of the month, even as early as the middle of October. This would also account for the timing of the other two images TTA posted.

Thoughts?

The events of 52 HAVE to happen the day before 27 et al, because the desk clerk at the hotel said that Jay had reserved the room only for one night.

It can be argued that yes, that's what Jay reserved it for, but he's been asleep in his room for a week or longer, so that's not a statement we can run with, but then Jay would have mentioned it, I think. "The desk clerk said I had reserved the room for a single night, but I've apparently been here a week [or longer]." Also, if Jay had been unconscious for a week or longer, there would be some ill effects, such as muscle atrophy, dehydration, hunger, etc.

I'm not sure what the Wake Up refers to, but I don't think it's that Jay's attack on the Operator knocked him out for a week, owing to the testimony (such as it is) from the desk clerk.

I wonder if the "Wake Up" and whatnot was perhaps TTA trying to warn Jay about imminent danger from Alex. "Wake up...Alex is a douche you derp." Or someting like that.

And perhaps Jay didn't see it because he had stopped checking his twitter, since he wasn't posting videos either.

Heck, it could even be TTA making a "pre-emptive strike" against Jaynesia. (What? We have Timnesia. We could also have Jaynesia. It's legit. ) He knew Jay was going to wind up getting his memory wiped so he put that up ahead of time.

With TTA you just never know. XD

Huh. If #52 happened more than just the day before #27, then that would so explain where #noentry takes place in all of this.

It would explain almost all of it: Why the cameraperson (J, 99% likely) has both cameras, why the file was named in a TTA style (cause he was under some Operater magic)*, although it wouldn't explain the reason why the blood was still fresh; I would hate to chalk even more things up to continuity errors, but...

*This would mean that J wasn't necessarily 'asleep' during the whole between #52-#27, which wonks with the Twitter message, but would account for why he didn't have any physical effects--as RiftTraveler mentioned--and maybe why the clerk said he was only there for the night--cause he went to a different hotel or something? Idk, still many holes in it, but this theory is a personal favorite of mine and my sis's.[/i]

here's the thing

the person in noentry has a chestcam and a handcam ON them

jay has neither on him when he teleports in entry 52 iirc

jay even says it was the next morning. considering troy writes the story, i take that to be canon

Since we're currently in the longest mid-season inter-entry wait, and since Jessica's likely to be very relevant soon I think it might be fun to pass the time with some Jespeculation. There are two things that stand out to me in Entry #52 that need some kind of explanation: Jessica shows signs of slender sickness before being exposed to the operator, and the operator presumably doesn't know where Jay and Jessica are when they go to the hotel. Now it's possible Jessica was exposed in the woods, which is creepy in itself, but that doesn't strike me as a particularly satisying answer. So maybe at that point Jessica knew more than she let on and somehow summoned the operator to the hotel. After her encounter she was mind-wiped, so lost any knowledge she would have had about being one its minions.

I suppose it's possible that what happened to Jay/Jessica in Entry #52 is similar to what happened to Alex/Amy in Entry #26, so maybe the operator followed Amy around for a bit, then started to follow Jessica around. To fit in with the timeline it would have had to gotten back to Alex again at some point. Even so, it leaves plenty of chronological time for Jessica-stalking to take place between Entry #26 and Entry #27.

I gotta go with Zarggg, here. I definitely think we're missing something from Entry 52, which, besides being a phenomenally scary episode, is also a source of mystery which could contain the key to not only Jessica's whereabouts, but also the Operator's true intentions.

What we saw was Jay waking up in his room to the sound of Jessica screaming next door, followed by what appeared to be an "explosion" of on-screen disc-rot.

Then the Operator appears and Jay appears to tackle him, accompanied by further disc-rot, then a montage of Jay in fast motion, then the events of an "earlier entry..."
