a) he is having a fugue state


Would he remember so much about his real identity in a fugue state? When he's normal he doesn't remember things he's done while wearing the mask, but the reverse doesn't seem to be true.

Yes.

wikipedia wrote:
A fugue state, formally dissociative fugue or psychogenic fugue (DSM-IV Dissociative Disorders 300.13[1]), is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality and other identifying characteristics of individuality. The state is usually short-lived (ranging from hours to days), but can last months or longer. Dissociative fugue usually involves unplanned travel or wandering, and is sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity.
After recovery from fugue, previous memories usually return intact, but there is typically amnesia for the fugue episode. Additionally, an episode of fugue is not characterized as attributable to a psychiatric disorder if it can be related to the ingestion of psychotropic substances, to physical trauma, to a general medical condition, or to psychiatric conditions such as delirium, dementia, bipolar disorder or depression. Fugues are usually precipitated by a stressful episode, and upon recovery there may be amnesia for the original stressor (dissociative amnesia).


Actually, maybe not now that I re-read that. But nothing says Masky knows anything about Tim (he doesn't know his leg is healed) Maybe he just sleeps wherever he wants (Tim's house, Brian's house, Slendy's bed) and knows he needs some pills (cuz it is obvious he is sick)

 		Just as a slight note I only just remembered, not sure if anyone said this or not but I forgot it in all the excitement, is that possibly the title 'entry' was a counterpart to 'noentry' - Entry #29? Not sure how that would make any sense unless it was ToTheArk holding the cameras in that video. Anyway, just something I remembered thinking, if anyone can find any use of it.

 		Probably not any sort of surprise
Just a note, I figure that Hoody was the one filming Jay's coughing fit in season one. And other such.
Now about Slendy going into that hallway and opening up a little door...that I am less sure of.

Also, whatever those pills are that Tim is taking seem to have a great influence on his mental state. According to Entry 60.5, Tim is prone to seizures, which is clearly something he was experiencing in this video-- but he did recover from the seizure and ran off to... wherever. I don't know much about seizures, but I think that they incapacitate a person for several hours-- so maybe the "seizures" he was diagnosed with aren't seizures at all... maybe they're something different, like the so-called "Operator sickness."

However, that leaves more questions: How can there be a pill that treats symptoms caused by a creature of unknown origin? Perhaps the pills are similar to a mood stabilizer, like Lamotrigine, which is used to treat seizures and mood disorders, most notably Bipolar I. Another question is, who is Tim talking to on the cell-phone? The doctor? A cop? Maybe his mother, who admitted him to the hospital in the first place... Once again, we're caught in the middle of the Operator's twisted game...



What if it's simply that being in a certain state can make you susceptible to being controlled by the operator, and the pills are a suppressant? Or maybe the pills help him repress his inner "masky"?

Kind of like how I take extra vitamins, since I have a tendency to become asthmetic when I get sick.

You prevent a state of vulnerability.

At which point, maybe hoody is doing this so he can let Tim turn into masky and ally with him (since I still believe that they're in cahoots!) rather than waiting for Jay to help, OR maybe he plans to make Tim masky and somehow get him to lead him to the operator.

 		I'm starting to think that...mayby The Operator doesn't do anything to anyone but stalk them. Alex going crazy and Tim having a new personality a really just psychological reactions to intense fear and paranoia. Even the blackouts and memory loss could be these people repressing terrifying situations. Maybe Slendy just stalks people (whether out of curiosity or for the purpose OF driving people mad) and can teleport and stuff. (but even the teleport thing can be explained with lost time and slendy's effect on electronics.

No, my entire family has seizures, and they don't last more then a few minutes. My dad has the longest lasting ones, and that's just because he gets mild amnesia for about 10 minutes after having an episode. He knows who he is, he knows who everyone around him is, he just doesn't remember why he's there or what he's doing. During this time even if you explain to him what he was doing he doesn't understand.

In fact, even seizures as severe as what Tim had are extremely rare, I've only seen someone straight up fall on the floor and start twitching a few times. Usually episodes are just 2 minute blackouts, with minor muscle spasms. By spasms I mean everything from your eye twitching repeatedly, to flipping your middle finger over and over, to just laughing.

So yeah, as we had already figured way earlier in the thread, Tim had seizures, slendy sickness made them worse. Pills stop seizures, which stops the slendy after effects of his seizures, whether those after effects include a masked alter ego we'll find out next entry.

 		Hey guys, with the severity of that seizure Tim had, Jay would have had to take him to the hospital. I'm willing to give them a week of in game time before a new entry is posted just for recovery.

I'm just hoping they get more creative with their in game explanations about the oog time lapses.

Example:

@marblehornets tweets: "so after I went to save Tim yesterday....."

@mhfanatic tweets: "that was two weeks ago!!1!1"

@marblehornets tweets: "no? What? Omg damn time-warp doors!?!"

Pffft. You don't do Time-Warp through doors. You do it by doing a jump to the left and a step to the right. Then you put your hands on your hip and bring your knees in tight, but it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane.

You missed nothing...

And by nothing I mean Tim's possible last name (Wright)

and the most epic, terrifying, amazing, hilariously, disgusting gif ever created, of all time. That deserves a quick scroll through (i recommend going backwards (you will know it when you see it)

At what page is this GIF?

It is worth the effort. Just look through the pages (though I would bet it would be somewhere around page 30

 		So my trailer is coming out quite nicely. Part of me wants to wait until it's all over to finish it, but it stands on it's own right now. I need a good song to use though, one that isn't copyrighted.

Is there a better way to download entries other than using keepvid.com? Didn't someone make a torrent once?

I know there are several add-ons for Firefox that allow you to download videos.
