By the way I think I have just accidentaly spotted Hoody on Entry #3... 0:50, among the woods. I had paused the video to get something to drink and when I got back I kinda saw Hoody's silhouette. I cant post a screenshot right now but if someone could take a look... It has a different color from the trees around, looks like his jacket color to me.

So was this week's Ark'n'Entry playlist long enough? or should I put more videos in each week?

I dunno it could be or it might not be. Either way, if we go by what was implied in the latest TTA video 'Surveillance', I think it's implied Hoody's been watching Alex and Jay since the start

TTA messages - not the video
Not the video the messages in the videos

So in the TTA videos in this week the messages are

Operator:
LISTEN

Deluge:
Audio says 'Alex' and then words on screen say 'watching you' maybe TTA watching Alex, or Alex is watching Jay? But then again the obvious of TTA watching Jay.

Impurity:
Operator appears on the clip and then the letters hidden in the 0's to form THERE WAS M(0)RE. Maybe there was more in the Operator video from TTA or there is more that Jay isn't telling us.

Exit:
Words unscramble to form THE OPERATOR, final frame says WHERE IS THE ARK

Program:
I don't understand the 0's and -'s but final words say BLEED MORE, maybe referencing Alex's bloody face?

Advocate:
I have no idea on this one, again the 0's and -'s, maybe Morse code? Audio is apparently FLEE NOW?
Addition:
Shows that TTA, either Timasky or Hoody was in the house when Jay was in there. The audio is "Alex. Brian", which is what Jay called out when he went in the house.

I'm lost on Program and Advocate to what they could mean. But there's my notes on the videos

EDIT:
Also what's with the fluorescent tubes in Deluge?

Yeah, it's definitely clear that ToTheArk was antagonizing Alex, even this early. He must have been the one leaving the dead animals. So "revenge against Alex" is a very probable motive.

Entry #10/Operator
Is this a matching set of audio and video? If so, did tta remove audio from some tapes before Jay got them, or does he currently have access to them/a copy and is he showing others that Jay removed the audio at least once?

Entry #11
Why does one drawing seem to say "Don't run" and one pretty close to it say "Run away"?

Entry #13/Exit
Who? My best guess is that tta was already wronged at this point and on the move (would fit the description 'Remember me?' on Exit). Did Alex purposely leave Jay for a bit to make sure TO isn't there? Did he purposely bring Jay to this abandoned building?

Program
From the wikidot page:
Quote:
There is also a strange, hand-drawn looking S on Tim's shirt in Entry #9. The Totheark video 'Operator' featured the sentence 'Lakes In Stillnesss will take every life of the night'. The word 'Stillnesss' is spelled with an extra S. Is there a theme of the letter S in further videos? ~Enquirer
—totheark's Warning video says Regards at the end also spelled with an extra S. ~elford
My first thought was Sarah, but that seems silly. Has anyone made better sensse of that yet?

Entry #15
I assumed the dead animals was slendy's way of expressing his love, but maybe they were hoody's threats (or maybe Alex just didn't remember some of his escapades).
I thought Jay's cough was interesting, but I may be reading too much into that. Was that his first time since viewing the tapes?

Advocate
Again this seems like footage Jay would have, so does tta have copies or access to the originals? I guess the pan to the side could allude to the girl in the back, maybe Ssarah? Razz

On the wikidot someone interpreted the binary as a binary clock running down, which would go with a message like 'Flee Now' (an omen for what'll happen to Brian or using him as a warning for Jay?)

Entry #16
Does the person taking the pills also like to draw, or is he more of a critic?


I'd also like something like this for EMH

The screen splitting in Entry #16 was the definitive "shit just got real" moment.

I think we can easily assume that it was Hoody filming in Addition?

Just typed out my thoughts as I watched.

Entry 11-A drawing of TO shows an "X" through his not-face. Confirmation that the Operator Symbol represents TO's not-face? (It's been mentioned but never confirmed.)
Also... "Kills Me". Brrr.

Deluge-I know the audio is supposedly saying "Alex", but I keep hearing "Group Hugs". XD

Entry 12-"He'll move", clearly Alex sees TO. Does anyone else?
I think the girl's voice has inflection similar to Sarah's.

Also notable is that TO was there before Tim arrived. Had he already moved on to antagonizing the others?

Entry 13-same place as Entry 10-has that concrete with the Operator symbol.

Exit-So someone was definitely filming Jay even then, probably TTA. Says "remember me".

TTA is someone Jay should have known then. I would suggest this rules out both Amy and Jessica as Hoody (who is most likely TTA or at least involved in TTA).

Entry 14-OH GOD NO.

But yeah, Alex had some blood on his face when he first got up, and there's more when we next see him. Was he that out of it? Was he even then setting himself up to look like the victim? Or was TO just in a bad mood??

Program-TTA definitely had a grudge against Alex. They probably didn't get mindwiped like Tim did, or their memory came back once Jay started posting videos (although how would they have found out about the videos, unless they were still keeping tabs on the group?)

Entry 15-Suddenly the series becomes all shiny and magical. All because of sideburns.

Hmm...Jay doesn't remember being as involved with filming as he apparently was, and Tim doesn't remember talking to Alex much; but we know that they apparently had to interact quite a bit, and they acted pretty friendly in the Timmy Tapes. This is rather similar. If any of the others are still alive (most likely), I wonder if they would remember how involved they were or getting to know their fellow cast members at all.

Jay coughs a bit. Could just be OOG, but given that coughing is such a big deal I doubt it.

Still can't figure out the dead animals thing, although I like Lithp's idea that it was TTA, already out for revenge.

Even if Tim doesn't remember the events of Marble Hornets, he probably still remembers his childhood issues here. Which probably leads him to wonder how Jay knows about it. (And possibly watching the videos and starting his problems all over again.)

Entry 16-I think in the archived trailhead this house was labeled "The Brian-Flavored Tip House That Had Masky In It". And yes, I also find it sad that I recall that.

And thus begins Jay's totally successful career of breaking into houses.

Inb4 BONE doesn't mean anything. Don't even go there. XD

The coughing can't really be due to being dragged through water, as people wondered after Tim's trip to SlendyLand. Jay's coughing pretty badly here, but nothing has happened to indicate he was taken on a trip and brought back during this time. (Although getting half-drowned probably doesn't help with the Cough of Doom.)

I always thought that it Operator was the audio from Entry 10, but as Operator is 0:22 long and Entry 10 is 1:15 of actual footage (1:32 total), makes you wonder where those 22 seconds fits in.

But yeah, TTA must of had access to the original tapes at some point, so then did Alex remove the audio in some of the tapes or did TTA remove them without Alex's knowledge. Which leads me to believe it's Seth as who else would look through hours and hours of raw footage of Marble Hornets, it would only be Seth or Alex.

It's not just footage of Marble Hornets though he's shown to have access to though, so unless Alex files his 'Student films' at the same place as his 'Me slowly going insane diaries' I think tta must've actively looked out for the rest of the tapes at some point; either while they were in Alex' possession or in Jay's.

edit:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think tta later on in the series had some footage Jay seemingly didn't know of yet, so either tta had footage that Alex didn't give to Jay (meaning tta had access to all MH tapes while they were at Alex') or Alex never got them and tta got them directly from the cameraman in those videos (who were the cameramen in those bits?)

Well Jay did ask for the Marble Hornets tapes, not the going insane tapes, so they were probably filed in the same place to get rid of them all. Because why would Alex give Jay his insane diary tapes?

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Alex had already edited his tapes to make himself look like the helpless victim before Jay ever asked for them, maybe as a way of rewriting history to assuage his guilty conscience, maybe in case someone came asking questions about the others, and he could say "look, I was being stalked too". Notice that the incriminating tapes were not ones that Alex gave to Jay.

It's possible some of the tapes that are muted may have had Alex attempting to communicate with TO (I think someone else mentioned this on another thread). Maybe they were even at the point where Alex was trying to bargain with TO, or promising to sacrifice the others, or something.
