lol, I agree. Also notice how it seems that Hoody wrote the last tweet...

"entry #82::"

Fortunately, Troy posted on his twitter just now that they're almost done filming the next entry and that it'll be done by next week! :3

Yeah. It would make sense because Hoody seems to think that Jay will "lead him to the Ark." Maybe Jay has a certain quality that would allow him to carry this out. Or maybe Jay's death foiled it all.

 		I post too much Embarassed

But thinking back on it, since Entry #82 was written in a weird way on the MH twitter, I rewatched it and took more note of the message written on the shack. It looked like:

JSLIP

with an operator symbol on the left.

Then I thought about the spraypainted "BONES" on top of the building on Entry #56. "Bone" was also found inside Brian's house in Entry #16.

I don't know if gathering up all 5-character sequences in the series will help at all. Especially with the whole "Bones" thing. The spraypaint on the shack though is peculiar because of the odd tweet.

The Bones thing was just there. However the message on the shack may be pertinent.

The twitter's been pretty much abandoned save for posting entries. Pretty lame and it means any questions directed to it will likely be a wasted effort. I think it answered literally one question throughout all of 2013.

If you rearrange just the letters, excluding the Operator symbol, you can get:

Brian - wart expiry: hmm, stir.

Totally just cracked it, yo.


But seriously, now.

I have doubts as to whether it means anything at all, but you can get the following MH names from the letters at the end of the video (allowing certain letters to be reused):

BRIAN
SETH
AMY
SARAH
TIM

Noticeably absent are JAY, ALEX, and JESSICA - due to the absence of the letters C, J, L, and a second S. This does not account for the numbers, and the letters P, W, and X are never used. The following letters occur more than enough times for any one individual name: 3 extra R's, 1 extra T, and 2 extra I's.

It might be a stretch, but perhaps this indicates that BRIAN, SETH, AMY, SARAH, and TIM were/are all TTA.

It seems possible that this is intentional purely because they are presented like a signature, although the unused letters and numbers are giving me some doubts. If this is intentional...

It makes sense that BRIAN, SETH, SARAH, and TIM are grouped together, as they were all involved in MH. AMY is the odd one out - but she must be there for a reason, because no other name (except JAY, who is absent) requires the letter Y. HOWEVER, perhaps she became part of TTA after the events of #26. I considered that she might be SKULLY, given that it makes an appearance in the same entry, but this seems unlikely because the footage that includes SKULLY was apparently taken before she picked up the camera.
By no means do I think any of this is definitive. I personally think there's way more to the end of NULL than this - even if I was right, we'd still be missing something significant. Just thought I would put it out there.


Adding on to this and my discovery, JSLIP would give j another S and an L, but no C. With these though you could make Jay and Alex

 		So maybe I'm simplifying this a bit but could the puzzle people think is Brian really just be an operator's symbol and an anagram for rain?

I know some people believe the Operator has some connection to water so I was wondering if this could be a possible solution.

Has the operator ever appeared while it has been raining?

 		The Operator appeared in Entry #54, which was in Tim's apartment during a rainstorm.

Oh dear...


I know this it OT, but the whole "doozy" bit is worrying me.
But at least we're getting a new entry soon.

 		I'm starting to think that this code has nothing to do with unscrambling these letters, or even 5-character sequences Embarassed

Especially since there are numbers in the mix...
and then there's that darn video description. However I kind of want to stick with JSLIP being a part of this code because it was presented in Entry #82 after what I assume was Hoody who uploaded the MH twitter:

"entry #82::"

I feel like we're so close, yet so far...

 		Well, at least they had the sense not to give us another video link. God, what a clusterfuck that was...

I can't remember what the point of that code was? I know it refereed to typing... but what significance did it have?

Not really, I guess. The best guess was that is was a message from TTA/Hoody to Tim to text him, or contact him in any written way. But other than that, we never figured this one out really.

/edit: Now that I think about it, I think the video gave a hint to the code from Quadrant. I haven't checked the topic, but if I remember correclty, the typing video gave someone the the cue to the keyboard cipher that was the solution in the end.

It was to solve the code in the previous TTA video - the code was based on the layout of a standard keyboard, and you decoded by shifting an appropriate number of keys in an appropriate direction.

 		Since my recent (amateurish) attempts to see the code as either a transposition cipher or as a OTP cipher failed, I'm grasping at straws here:

When I tried to arrange the code into something remotely meaningful, I always find the numbers quite disturbing. If you were to replace the letters with other letter to get a message out of that, or rearrange it to the same end, it would probably always contain numbers. (I have no idea of decryption, please correct me if I'm wrong) So whatever the message might be, it had either to contain number, or the numbers are a hint towards the key. It was only then when I realized that the only numbers missing are 3 and 6. Especially if regard the operator symbol as 0.

So the numbers do not repeat themselves, but 2 are missing. Does this help anyone?
A curious thing -- that might be completely unrelated – though: both Entry #36 and #63 have some sort of resemblance to each other. #36 features Jay and Alex, meeting near a car, discussing an encounter with Masky and what to do next. #63 features Jay and Tim, meeting near a car, discussing an encounter with Hoody and what to do next.

Might be a coincidence, but since I don't feel we have a good lead* atm., I thought I might bring it up.

* I'm not a big fan of the approach to randomly scramble the names of the MH cast out of the code, without any rule to do so and with leaving a good chunk of characters without any explanation whatsoever. (Except for the connection to the drawings from Alex's house) But since I don't have anything to show for myself, I won't stop you from convincing me otherwise.

 		This code is such a DOOZY!
