Four suspects, got it.

I thought I was done with this sick game, Troy. I was getting better, dammit.

44 clearly references Black 44.

February 1944 when the Germans launched a counterattack against the Allies in an attempt to drive them back to the sea.

A period piece--that would be awesome!

The puzzles...will never end.

It's hard to decipher this tweet without going on an Illuminati-like rant by making whacky associations and jumping to conclusions. If this is the only clue we get that's cool, but I feel we need a bit more to solve it, unless of course this is a key to the Null puzzle or possibly have something to do with the EACHUSE SORROW message left in the credits.

Here's another thought. When they decide to give us the next entry (as I am not convinced that IG you can ever really end the series), it will be Entry #88. 44 is half of 88. So this *obviously* means they are halfway done with the new season!

First of all, I don't understand what you mean by they can never really end the series IG. Like cause it's fake, so IG it's not really a series, is that what you're referring to? Because I don't see the real world pertinence of that.

The 44 as half of 88 thing is an interesting thought. I doubt they're even gonna try to have it make sense why it's on the channel though. Like maybe it'll be the same universe, but if there's some Tim-related bullshit or anything along those lines to actually explain why anyone would still be tweeting and posting videos, I'll be taken slightly aback.

I'll especially be shocked if this is a countdown to the video itself, like if it's 44 days later (3/30) or if it's 4/4. Cause how would the tweeter know when it was gonna start again. Although technically there was a cryptic little Masky countdown to season 2 starting on the Twitter which didn't end up making much IG sense, but whatevs that all seems pretty minor.

Plus that's assuming it'll be found footage, like if it isn't then there's no way it can make sense (Unless it's a film within a film, and it's Tim's film! His therapist said he should work out his problems this way! Co-staring Jay and Alex's animated corpses!) I do think this is for the new series though. We know that will be on the Marble Hornets channel, this is the Twitter, I don't see any other logical explanation.

For all we know the creators don't know what 44 means, and it could mean some number of dates, and they're just keeping their options open. I doubt it's for the Null code, that seems like wishful thinking, which uF is kind of the kind of. Although wanting the know the Null code so bad seems like wishful thinking itself; the totheark videos rarely have anything important in them, we just always assume they will until we solve them and they don't. They're not really supposed to be important because they're not even supposed to be required viewing, let alone required solving.

44 is the country code for dialing a phone number in Great Britain, if I am reading right, so maybe the new series takes place overseas. Not that plausible, but I'm just adding it to the discussion.
GAWDD I miss having new entries!

Is it worth reviving the Entry 44 thread? The longer I think about it the longer I feel like the tweet is referring to that. We've likely missed things in many of the videos, it's unlikely this is an exception.

You can; I certainly won't object.

I'm starting to think they're messing with us just a little. My theory: they needed to put a tweet on the MH account to get us paying attention to the channel again. It would have to be something cryptic, so we'd do exactly what we're doing. They decided to tweet a number. And they settled on "44" because their first choice-"42"- would've been too obvious.

That being said, we probably should check out #44, as well as the TTA vids before and after, just to be thorough.

Off-topic: you guys should've seen what this looked like before I edited all the typos out; it looked like I was channeling Totheark and the Observer at the same time! Laughing

It's interesting that you say there and after. There's loads of Entries and TTA that come after 44 so it'd be hard to go though all of them to look for something, though I did find something I thought was noteworthy.



Even though we know the tape contains the footage of Entry 51 we never found out the relevance of the numbers 56 - 42. And I highly doubt Jay was able to ballpark where that tape would go in the list of Entries that specifically. The fact that 44 is a number between these two figures doesn't rule it out, we have no idea what these numbers relate to. The way I see it, Jay could have named named it "Alex apartment tape" instead of random numbers. Regardless, this has always nagged me since I first saw it.

And yeah, they're totally toying with us, I don't feel that's a placeholder tweet to get us interested though, I feel it does have some importance and cryptic value.
Last minute dumb theory! Alex's Birthday is 4th....yadda yadda yadda.
What if the number 4 is used to represent Alex and/or someone in his position, two 4s. No space separating the two so if someone else was close to him and in a similar pickle.....Amy?

Entry #44 is when Alex starts coughing up blood and TO abducts him from his room on camera.

Entry #50, with the cryptic "56-42" marking, is when Jay returns to Alex's after his encounter there with TO and finds and steals the tape.

Subtract 42 from 56 (which is one way of reading "56-42") and you get 14, which is the entry in which TO walks into Alex's room (and on which there's apparent evidence of Alex doctoring tapes to appear to have been more of a victim than he was--if the proposed solution on the boards to TTA's "Program" is correct).

So two appearances of TO in Alex's room and the tape showing Brian's apparent abduction, found apparently (if I remember correctly) where TO appeared when Alex found Jay hiding.

Which means...? Something? Possibly. IF Jay had that much foresight IG to see which entries could be which (or maybe that was some sort of game-induced suspension of reality clue?). Or, just going back to the "Four is Death" trope, in East Asia, double four means eight, which means good fortune and long life--so Tim happy ever after at all? Everything really is fine? I think they're jerking us around a bit, though, too, though I do think it has significance.

EDIT: half-way between 56 and 42 could also place us at 49, which is the entry in which the guy in the white shirt gets offed and Oppy-napped.

From everything I read, this is the theory I most agree with. It really seems the most logical to me

Something is coming, so they just put up a little nonsensical tweet to get people's attention before it does

I think this is way overthinking things. Probably it just means something's happening on April 4/in 44 days, or is just a nonsense tweet.

Or it's significant but is useless without additional clues that will appear in future tweets, like the first part of a sequence of a code.

So, for the record, what I meant was the TTA video right before #44, #44 itself, and the first TTa vid after #44.

I went back and watched all three; if there's anything there I'm not smart enough to spot it.
