And also Masky leaving a mask on the door knob in that one entry, indicating an "invitation" to Jay.


I kinda saw it more as a "put this on, it'll protect you from the operator" than an invitation since tackling someone doesn't strike as a particularly inviting concept.

On that note, every time Masky and Jay have met, Masky tackles jay. The only real exception is when Alex is pointing a gun at Jay and Masky saves him.

Over all though, Masky doesn't seem very friendly to Jay at all.

 		He doesn't seem freindly, but definitively trying to help in some way.

Not helping jay of course. Jay is just a ticket to the ark.

Apart from entries #19, #23, #33, #35, and #50. Masky tackles Jay once, and that happens when Slendy is around. He might have tried to tackle him again in Entry #33, but again Slendy is there when it happens. Most of the time Masky isn't trying to tackle Jay at all.

(In #19 he is at worst indifferent to Jay. In #23 and #50 is leading Jay to somewhere. In #35 he's going after Alex. In #18 and #33 I maintain that he's getting Jay out of the way of the Operator in the quickest way he knows how.)

 		You're right, we're being led astray by the "tackle fucking everything" meme. XD

But yes, Masky clearly left his mask for Jay for...whatever reason.

Although I do think an invitation to tackle people isn't all that bad. I mean, what if he was just trying to get Jay out of the house for a game of football? Very Happy

(Yes, that's it...the MH crew wanted to play a football game, but the Operator is clearly better at basketball...and then stalking ensues.)

I assume that Masky attacked Jay only when the Operator was around and about, like it was said before, and Masky's incentive for tackling our protagonist was to effectively scare him away from the hazzardous location as quickly as he could. In fact, that was probably his entire intention for stalking Jay in his sleep amongst when he first showed up, and why he could have possibly been screwing around with the security cameras to make it seem like Jay was telaporting: to freak him out and scare him away. Think about it, for all the times that Masky has appeared to want to do harm to Jay, he never does; he could have,if he wanted to. He managed to stab Alex, for example, in Entry 35. But all of his attacks on Jay were pretty feeble, and there were plenty of Masky encounters in which the latter did not even really try to do anything harmful.

I always saw masky as using Jay as a vehicle of sorts. He helps him when it benefits him (or TTA) but doesn't mind scaring/tackling when Jay starts treading on dangerous ground (Entry 18 ). Also, I think hoody is a more violent entity. Whether Tim knew it or not, it seemed like he was trying to protect Jay at the abandoned hospital.

 		I think Hoody and Masky are just two cryptic weirdos who formed a league whose purpose is it to defeat Alex/Operator, and they do whatever it is cryptic weirdos do in order to get that accomplished. My only question is, what made them decide to be cryptic weirdos and not normal people that go about this in a less cryptic, weird way. Like, why post puzzling videos on a YouTube channel that are borderline insane instead of just freaking telling Jay what is going on and what they need? Besides that, Masky's cryptic weirdness is just accentuated by the fact that he continued donning his mask even after Jay found out who he was. So whatever their intentions are, whether it be harmful or helpful, they're definitely not in their right minds about it.

I am anticipating Entry #59 to be posted Monday night.

I think we'll have to see a TTA entry first. We had the first Hoody sighting in Season 3 and the first one in 10+ entries. He's got to have something to say.

I was thinking we would start seeing entries biweekly, and TTA videos every other entry.

 		I always considered Masky to be some kind of slender-Hulk and ToTheArk is somehow able to lure him around despite him serving the Operator.

And Timnesia shouldn't be real, as Masky appears after Jay wakes up in the hotel unless, going with the slender-Hulk idea, Masky is mindlessly aggressive so he doesn't need memories to want to chase and attack, but he calms down and shrinks back into Tim, who actually needed those memories.

Also, if Tim did get blasted with the same amnesia that Jay got, do you think they both lost the same amount of time, as Masky is more than 7 months old.

Not to state the obvious, but constant exposure to the Operator does seem to take a significant toll on the mind. They may be so cracked that this is the only way they know how to communicate.

I don't know, but something I've been thinking.

The first season and the second season, both had "hidden tapes." The tape found at the red tower and the tape Alex was keeping (with Brian's last moments on it).

I'm assuming that there will be another hidden tape in this season.

Considering what seemed to happen with Tim, Brian, and Seth, I'm wondering if considering Alex's "all gone" moment implies that he attacked the characters he mentioned. There's a chance that Jay could find a video where he is attacked. Also considering the events of Entry 13 and Exit, Alex and Jay at a somewhat secluded location with the Operator. What happens after Jay catches up to Alex? Did he ever say?

Tim seemingly survived his encounter. So Jay might have as well, but could have had his memory wiped.

Finally, you know I thought of something. In Entry 54, do you think Tim saying he is not "the movie guy" and Alex is "the movie guy" could have a bit more significance than it being a weird echo of himself. A lot of people believe that Tim was working with TTA. Perhaps this was an in-game clue to Jay that Tim is not TTA. That is he is not the one making the videos. I'm not sure, if the clue is intentional on Tim's part or just a character insight for Jay to pick up on.

As I wrote this I realized, that all the major characters have used a camera and had a video they recorded shown in an entry; save for one person.


SARAH!


Isn't Sarah the one recording in Entry 12? On that note, Jessica also hasn't recorded anything on camera yet. EmeraldWind, who are you referring to? Question

Just a thought. Perhaps TTA is cryptic because someone who's under the influence of the Operator is unlikely to decrypt it (constant headaches etc not conducive to cracking codes.) Perhaps the videos are meant for someone except the person being stalked. I don't think the theory makes much sense given the content, but if the early videos were for Alex's benefit if and only if he wasn't being stalked then that might give us some more information.
