 		I said at the time, even he could have seen them at random, using the links suggested, given the growing anger that was building up. I guess in that situation and I think it would be so, without thinking.

Why would Tim watch the videos backwards, that makes absolutely no sense


It makes perfect sense if you look at how youtube organizes the videos on the channel's page. The newest stuff always comes up first. So yeah, it's perfectly plausible that Tim watched the videos in reverse order. Hell, the playlist goes in reverse order.


Exactly.

 		Except for the part where you realize that watching the videos that way would leave a person completely lost, so their natural reaction would be to go back, find the beginning, & go from there.

Especially since, you know, the entries are numbered.

Also, with the 7 months thing, I'm just trying to figure out what Pravado is saying. Because when I read, "I don't know the next time I'll post again," I wasn't thinking "probably in half a year." That really seems like "Jay just being missing with no in-game explanation beforehand."

 		Oh, sorry, that wasn't you, it was "SHODAN." I misread the quote pyramid. Really bad.

To be honest, Tim probably wasn't interested in following the plot. He probably clicked the first video there, and when he saw it was about him and hinted that Jay was keeping information from him, he probably went through the videos backwards to see what Jay was talking about instead of going back 50 entries, which would really leave him lost. If he had started from the beginning, wouldn't he have lost interest pretty quickly? Tim didn't become an important character in MH until entry #15. Also, just because the entries are numbered doesn't mean people are going to watch them in order. The first entry I saw was like #41... I can just see Tim watching the most recent MH video, getting suspicious, then clicking back (or following the playlist) until he became too angry/upset to continue watching, which could have happened before he got to entries #18 and #15.

That was me. Like I said, I wasn't watching MH at the time it came out, but IIRC wasn't there an OOG warning that there would be a break as well?

My point with the "I don't know the next time I'll post again" is that at least THERE, Jay was setting himself up for a delay, no matter how big. With this entry, there was a sense of urgency. They're going to have to think of a good excuse for why Jay didn't update this time.

As entertainment, no, as a sequence of events related to problems in his life, that'd be pretty interesting.

Also, there's the question of, "How long has he been involving me in this?" And the only way to know that is to go back to the beginning & watch it through.

Or go to the Wiki, if that exists in-context.

Okay, apparently I misread the quote pyramid TWICE.

 		It could be that Jay's last tweet was more significant than first anticipated.

He didn't want to give away where he was. Why?

Perhaps he found Tim and was taking him somewhere safe. Maybe he has been dealing with a severely demedicated Tim and wants to protect Tim by making himself harder to find. We never did find out how Alex tracked Jay to send him Entry 26.

Alternatively, he could have found Tim and Tim was willing to help, but only if Jay didn't post a video until he was sure he could trust Jay.

There are couple possible reasons for the delay IG, but most of them are kind of weak due to the fact the instant gratification would have been much cooler.

No reason why he can't.

Mohawks make great evil characters. He just needs a mustache now.

Well, that certainly is an interesting development.

A livestream would be different because it would be making MH into an actual ARG, and that really WOULD be a shift in the series. I just hope Trosephim doesn't just have Jay black out again, because that would be disappointing. I think they're good enough writers to pull off whatever excuse they think of, though.



Valid points except for this, I don't think a livestream would make it an ARG, just a different way to present content, unless they actually involve the audience and give them the power to make an impact. But again, the series has never had much in the way of 'live' content, live tweeting, livestreams, etc.

I agree a lot of these complaints go away if you watch it all at once, but that's not how it's being delivered online.

 		Who said Tim watched the entries only once? This is the key to his past, after all. And, even if he didn't remember his enounters with the Operator, he couldn't help but feel like he'd been punched in the gut when he saw it.


URRGGH, I hate mohawks!

 		I don't think it really matters what order Tim watched those entries in. He had such an emotional reaction to them that I think it's safe to assume that he wasn't necessarily thinking logically. He obviously got far enough to realize that he was masky. I doubt he was just skipping around wildly. He just didn't want to come to terms with it and he wanted to blame Jay.
