Maybe a little angry and definitely overdramatic, but it really shouldn't be a problem as this isn't a "game" to begin with and thus the term "OOG" doesn't even technically apply. It's basically a mystery-horror web show in found footage form. But I'll leave the judgement to Zarggg.


As a moderator it is his job to pander to the whiners


Pot, meet Kettle.

Really? I can't see anything, but I would love it if it really is another "the house" entry. Or even a return to Rosswood at night, during one of Masky's earlier jaunts. Hoody filmed stealing Tim's pills and sending him into Masky-mode, who's to say he didn't follow him and catch something else worth watching/hiding?

I still wonder what could have happened there (wherever there is) that Tim would want to hide from Jay, if only temporarily. Seems like he would have more of an interest in hiding the tape if it had to do with Tim/Masky or Jay himself. Does he believe Jay would still have that hard a time differentiating between Tim/Masky, that if Masky has done something horrible then it could shatter Jay's trust?

Any of these things would be cool, but I have to point out, we don't even know that screen shot is from the tape. This could well be something happening in the present day. As much as I hate to be Penny Party Pooper.

Masky has straight up strangled Jay on camera. I think any trust Jay had towards Tim's differentiation went out the window at that moment lol

Wow tensions got a little high in here for a second. In regards to OOG, I can see MarbleHornets' reasoning with us including in the forum all the talk with Mr. Digsby - may the leaf fall gracefully upon His shoulder.

Technically, is it OOG? Yeah, but it's still within the realms of fiction.

The moment we discuss Trosephim within an IG thread in regards to their shooting schedule and such, adding the spoiler tags has seemed satisfactory to most. But do we really need to get this uppity about all of this?

This is just my opinion though, I could be wrong and I certainly hope I'm not out of line.

All the discussion and justification in the world doesn't make a lick of difference. The forum rules are very clear. Marble, people are telling you to stop because that's not supposed to be ok according to the TOS. You have to have a mod come in and personally tell you this for it to register? You must think you are special or have some strong sense of entitlement. And don't call other people whiny when I have read posts by you that were extremely ... Erm... Whiny.

On topic, this thread shouldn't even be getting posted in. There's not really anything else to discuss obviously; the last 2 pages (mostly) aren't really discussing Entry 75 at all.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I may as well post this.



I'd say it almost looks like a car window. Someone might be stalking Jay while he's camping out in his car again? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't go back to the hotel (which Tim most likely rented). Maybe he's parked in the Rosswood parking lot? Who knows. All I know is that car's aren't very comfortable to sleep in.

please don't address the issues brought up before. We both know what you're going to say, so saying it's just going to end up derailing the topic further. Yes, I know. I should have just vented by punching pillows. I needed a good public vent and it won't happen again. Case closed.

To keep the topic on topic, here's an interesting thought.

In 2011 a movie called intruders came out, where a faceless being stalked children and "stole" their voices so they couldn't speak. Makes me wonder if the whole scribbling on papers thing is a form of communication rather than a self-reminder. On one paper alex wrote "help me, kill me" over and over. If he was talking to himself as a reminder, wouldn't he have said "kill yourself" or something? Makes more sense that his cries for help are aimed towards someone else.

While that may have some mileage, several key features may need to be addressed:

Who is the message aimed at?

How could it possibly reach anybody bar Alex himself while pinned to his wall?

Also, remember that one of the symptoms of slendersickness (which alex has probably been suffering from for a while at this point) is thought to be mental health deterioration, and people affected haven't exactly been great with sentence structure (see Conversion: "Who are he liars? are you one of them? are you both of them?" The "help me, kill me" thing may just alex trying to tell himself not to be idle/try to solve this/kill yourself/whatever while his mental state deteriorates.

You could still be right however.

Starting to consider that only Hoody will be waiting at 79 South Creek Road, wanting to show Jay/Tim something. There have been signs to suggest Alex might be getting less human because of TO and Hoody panicked and ran away in #73 when Alex emerged, despite having a gun. Alex's face was also obscured both times he appeared in that entry. I'm thinking that may have been for a reason. Hoody wasn't capable of taking Alex hostage but Jay/Tim don't know that, so they wrote down the message on Amy's photo anyway.

@Marble Hornets: No, you get called out.

You essentially posted that, as a moderator, I have to give in to the loud voices regardless of whether they're right or not. Then you tried to cover your ass by asking me not to bring up that argument by saying that it's been dealt with and you've all moved on.

I initially wasn't going to respond, since the general train of thought of this site's moderation/administration is that the members of this site should be able to conduct themselves maturely and not get into petty squabbles over theories -- on in your case, whether or nor you approve of how the games/series are developed/written. But the fact remains that the Marble Hornets fan base has demonstrated time and again that they are not able to self-moderate. That was one of the reasons the admins were looking for moderators to help JKat here and subsequently why I threw my hat into the ring.

You've been warned about your behavior here many times and even had disciplinary action taken against you in the past. You don't get dictate what is or isn't fair moderation. I'd like to think that my handling of you (and other annoying/borderline-troll posters here) has been far more lenient than how ChildOfAtom has been handling Goomba and his multiple aliases over in the SMM forum.

That being said, you've brought up some interesting points and theories in the past. It's mostly your attitude and how you express your ideas that people take issue with. And that's all we've been asking you to tone down.

Now, end of discussion.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My brashness and bitterness is mainly a product of there being more shitposty/childish humor related posting going on than actual intellectual discussion based on the series. And then when I try to bring it back to an in depth discussion I get told I'm annoying people by ruining immersion.

So I do realize what I'm doing is wrong and against the rules (hence the last post i made about wanting you to not bring it up), but it's hard to control impulses when time and time again I see the forum devolving into more of place for people to kill time than actually discuss the series in depth, with nobody else seemingly having a problem with that. The admins don't see what goes on here or probably know that much about the series, so there may be a disconnect in the discussion experience. There are adaptations that can be made, but won't, unless they can somehow experience what the series has to offer from both IG and OOG perspectives. While this doesn't seem to be the community for me, it is the only place I have to discuss MH. I'm not saying all the users are bad, a good amount of them have good things to say. But the majority of them derail topics with nonsense, and that takes away from the board experience.

I will try not to be so brash in the future, but I would like to know who to talk to admin-wise about regarding posting about OOG elements in this series, because I still find it absurd that someone can derail a topic with tim sideburns memes with no problems, but I can't talk about something directly relating to the series at hand in an OOG sense without getting berated. But I digress.




I have a good feeling we will be getting the entry tonight.

[spoiler]Sir Marble Hornets, if you really need to vent anger then go on a walk or something that does not involve public locations/sites]
I say anytime within the next day or two is the release of Entry 76, i'm really hoping it's a hoody or TTA reveal

I just want to see what's on that tape. Because I think whatever it is is gonna be bad. And, like with most things in life, our brains can make whatever unknown there is so much worse than it actually is. So, come on, let us off the hook already.

(Disclaimer: If the above statement made no sense in any language, that'll be because I've slept for like an hour in the last 36 and I'm trying to stay up in the hope that there's an entry tonight. So coherency has gone out the window.)
