When do you guys think this entry takes place chronologically?

There's nothing that definitively places this entry after 72 in the timeline... Except the amount of time between entries. But still.


I haven't ventured a guess for the Comprehensive Timeline because there wasn't any information in the entry itself that gives a hint. If I had to make one, I'd say it was after Entry #72 and probably a day or two before this entry was uploaded. If nothing else is revealed in 74, I'll probably go with that or just leave it undocumented, as other entries with no timing clues have been.

Unfiction isn't the only place I discuss Marble Hornets in. Most of the theories I've read say it was Alex, and I agree.

While there's no hard and fast rule, we (this community) generally only use discussion that takes place here for building consensus irrespective of what other communities have decided. If you have a theory, you are welcome to it as long as you can provide justification, but you cannot claim another community's consensus as merit.

Also, I would like to go on record that I agree this entry was more or less filler. I'm not sure what new information this has presented us, except perhaps to reveal that there are things that Jay and Tim are still holding back from us, which some of us already assume.

If we assume that Jay is now under the same effects that Tim/Masky and Hoody are under, then we might conclude that Jay is now using whatever medication Tim (and possibly Hoody) is using to keep the effects at bay and that said medication is running out, but that too is predicated on the assumption that the house is where Tim and Jay are currently staying as well as the assumption that Jay was the figure in the window. Another factor to this theory is that the box Hoody found the tape in appears to be the same box where Tim was hiding his pills in an earlier entry.

The house could just as easily be Alex's (which was my original assumption while watching the video) as the figure in the window was not completely distinct. That assumption could lead to the possibility that Alex is also taking this medication.

I still think it's Tim's house, but it was Alex in the window.

 		About the person in the attic/window: I immediately assumed it was Alex. His head is the same shape as Alex'sa, and Alex has pretty much been Hoody's enemy throughout the series. I really wasn't expecting any debate about this when I saw the entry.

 		This entry is bullshit. Hoody's going to run like a little bitch when Alex finds him at his home and now we find out he had a gun stashed away the whole time. And in the in-game world what are all these characters doing months apart at a time? Seriously between the times entry 69 and 72 were posted, were Jay and Tim just chilling. If this game had an realism they would probally get bored of trying to find the tall asshole in the suit and move on with their lives. Damn

This never had any realism, since we are watching, we have to asume there is little time between each entry shot (In-game). The reasons why they take so long to upload them is because Trosephim have other things to take care of outside MH. They cannot shoot an entry for you each weekend.

The story is confusing as fuck so as the characters actions towards eachother, hopefully the last entries will give us the answers we have been waiting for

 		In another thread I mentioned that it is very possible that Tim got a hold of Jay's accounts without his consent or maybe the person posting as Tim on Jay's twitter wasn't Tim at all. Do I necessarily believe this to be the case? I don't know, probably not, but it is completely possible. However, I just wanted to point out that if this was the case, Entry #73 still supports that theory.

1. When I first mentioned this in the other thread, I said for all we know Jay could be gagged and bound up somewhere and I was willing to bet that the next Entry or two we wouldn't actually see Jay in person.

2. The person coming from the attic (I know most of you are going to say the body shape didn't look like him), could be Tim (or someone else), and he could be holding Jay prisoner up there.

3. The "LIAR" that appears could be pointing to Tim/whomever has the accounts for lying about Jay giving them control.

4. All the empty pill bottles that I mentioned earlier not making any sense (what kind of person keeps a bunch of empty pill bottles neatly stacked in a row), could be there either to keep Jay sedated or to try and turn Jay into his masky/hoody/Alex/Craig Digsby state.

Again, I don't necessarily believe this is definitely happening, but it would be a very cool twist and start driving the story to an interesting ending.

 		Since it was brought up, I haven't been able to decide if it's Tim's house or not, so I took what seemed to be the most reasonable course of action: I sent a Tweet to the Marble Hornets account asking Tim directly if it is. Surely he'd know, right?

Somewhat related, it occurred to me that if Jay's too messed up to monitor his accounts the way he normally does and Tim can't be bothered to (that's the impression I get. He doesn't care about documenting this crap, and only wears the chest-cam because Jay asked him to and it doesn't cost Tim anything to humor him), they might not even know "Entry #73" exists.

It's most likely that this entry takes place after Entry #72. Hoody returns to his hideout to find that Alex had thrashed his bed shortly after the events of Entry #68.

Chronologically, it's also possible it could have happened before Entry #68.

Assuming the gun Hoody has stashed is the same one he lifted off Alex in Entry #67 (which I think is a safe bet) it would have to be after that. I would venture to guess that this is relatively close to real time.

 		Given that the title morphs into "Return" I'm thinking that Hoody is referring to that totheark video (where Jay is prostrate before the operator, after the entry where Masky broke into Jay's room and watched him sleep.) It would be very interesting if part of that encounter was on that tape that Tim was hiding in his medicine box, and would make sense of the "liar" and "failure" scribblings if Tim was somehow complicit in introducing the operator into Jay's life.

He sort of was. Don't forget, Tim-in-the-Mask brought Jay out of his room in entry 19, and Return was a response to 19, evidently showing what happened during the three hours Jay was away from his room. It certainly was in the house when Jay first saw the mask.

So something happened, and Masky and TTA were involved in it. Tim can't remember--or says he can't--so TTA is the only one there who might tell the truth. And he isn't talking.

It'd be interesting if Jay or Tim ever just flat-out asked what the hell's going on. Make a video addressed to TTA, and tell him to call them. He has their number; he has everything else about them.

How do you guys have any idea what that guy's height was in relation to Jay's?
We only saw his legs, then we could only see his upper torso.



OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I met them at GMX Vol4 last year. Joseph is literally taller than Troy and Tim. That's how I know.


I don't see how that answers Bernie Buddy's question. How do we know the figure in the window was Jay's height/shorter than Alex?

Considering where he had the gun stashed, I doubt Hoody could have gotten to it in the time he realized someone might be there and Alex ran in. Doesn't explain why he felt the need to hide it instead of keeping it on him all the time since he knows there are people/entities trying to get him, but there could be several reasons for that.

Personally, I wonder if Hoody isn't as uncomfortable around weapons as Jay seems to be. He never carried one around with him until he took it off Alex, and even then he clearly doesn't keep it in easy reach.

 		If Hoody's gun is the one taken from Alex in Entry #67, does that mean that WASN'T what Tim was holding at the end of the entry?

 		I can't believe that no one else has mentioned this...
And that no one has connected these dots!

Edit: Also at 9:18 we see a car in the driveway. Whose car is it? Jay's? I can't get a clear shot of it, and it is only in view for a brief moment.


Not the best,but I tried:

Now, compare that to:
http://i.imgur.com/R0IBLXQ.png

I'm pretty sure that it is clear they are the same car. Please pay special attention to the windows and doors.
Now, who's car is that? That is Jay's car, form Entry #64. Which is pretty strong evidence that it is Jay in the house.
-
For comparison, here is Alex's car from Entry #52:
http://i.imgur.com/3K54pK6.jpg

Please take note that his car has only one door, and its window isn't divided.
-
And finally, here's Tim's car (not the best image):
http://i.imgur.com/PIvvSXI.jpg

That picture is from Entry #64. The car could be Tim's, but it seems to be a bit too dark. Not to mention, we haven't seen Tim.
However, it doesn't make a difference if the car belongs to Jay or Tim, since we know that they are traveling together. (Or are they..?)

-------
EDIT: Before anyone says, "but he could have bought a different car!", that claim makes no sense. Cars are expensive, and Alex already has to pay for a house/rent. And he has a working car -- there is no reason for him to get a new one.

EDIT2: Here's an image of the car from Entry #72: http://i.imgur.com/ahGvtNV.png If that doesn't prove to you that the car from Entry #73 is one being used by Tim and Jay, then I don't know what will. I personally think the car in #72 is Tim's because of the color, but the real question is, does it matter?

Just went back and looked, it does look like Tim had the gun. I was thinking Hoody had it last, my bad. Embarassed
