So, as a scientist, I often find myself being the only person who has the brains to do a little research. And there's nothing like reason to calm tensions. Keep in mind that I support general silliness, and as an actor/director/playwright it is part of my life, as is imagination. So the whole "Tharol is an emissary of Cthulhu" theory rox my sox, and I love those of you who are using this thread to be happy, because let's face it, life is about spreading love of life. But down to the logistics and brass tacks-

Here's a fun fact: "Tharol" is a (reasonably) common last name in India and nearby countries, and isn't unheard of as a first name, though it is less common. There is no need to view it as a mystery or an anagram-name.

Data:
Tharol has said himself that he is 42 years of age, enjoys many ARGs (which we can find plentiful evidence of), has watched and enjoys Star Wars, as well as enjoying zombie-themed and horror movies, he likes Marvel Comics (a personal favorite, so hey, go Tharol), enjoys reading the Dragonlance books, likes parody music and rock music, and spends at least some time in proximity to water (presumably drinking water as it was immediately to his left as he posted on this forum, though not necessarily). He also rather cryptically (as is his wont) implied that his posts make their way to their near-intelligible English by way of a Google translator.

Narrative:
Here's a reasonably comprehensive theory on Tharol- He is a 42 year-old man from India or a similar country who is not a native English speaker. However, he enjoys ARGs, possibly as an extension of a greater love for the scifi/fantasy genre or a love of the horror genre, though certainly not necessarily, and found the unfiction forums, which are a stellar resource for ARG players. He painstakingly translates our posts to his native language with software help and then converts his own thoughts to (relatively understandable) English to participate in the discussion, and does a fantastic job of getting involved in multiple subforums and games. He has enjoyed recent celebrity because his quirky speech has attracted attention to his posts, and during this time he has found that he is comfortable being dirty on the internet (and frankly, who can truly blame him?), and his posts have deteriorated in that respect, but he otherwise continues to be a model ARG player, and we appreciate his presence on these boards, with a few notable and loud exceptions.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

Edit: Fixed some typos and gaps in data.


I was already happy but reading your scientific assessment has moved me into slap-up GIDDY territory Very Happy

 		My theory: Tharol is a member of the unfiction forums known for formatting his posts in a unique way that's indirect and somewhat less organized than what's come to be expected but still makes sense and usually pertains to the topic of discussion and, like the rest of us, has the right to decide how much personal information he reveals to the rest of the forum. Confused

 		Tharol could be related to MH. But then again, he does post in other ARG boards, so I don't know why he'd belong to just the one where (seemingly) the majority of us post. He could be just some guy who wants to seem mysterious and posts in weird grammatically incorrect language, or translates english to another language, and then back to english. Due to an unlisted skype interview of Tharol, we could discard the idea that he doesn't speak english very well, but that doesn't mean that he could just be someone who doesn't write or type in english very well.

... Wait, has anybody else seen the Tharol interview? Somebody linked to it on Interplosion before, but I don't have the link anymore, and it's unlisted on youtube.

 		It's just us and a few others talking to him on Tinychat. Yes, I talked to Tharol. He speaks good english, and is a bit of a Slendy aficionado. You can normally find him in /myimmersion a lot.
