Tmagp transcript is the best thing to happen

[luceibs]

Alex: you don’t need to know anything about tma to start tmagp

Also Alex: proceeds to NameDrop almost every important tma character ever

Harlan writing this weeks Protocol episode and putting “A here” made me scream bc of the letter with the widow in Malevolent

[whoknowsyourfuture]

Highly ironic that my first instinct on hearing too many eyes and a tape recorder is to go, ah yes, my good friend Jonathan Sims and Alice's is we're all in grave danger. A+ setup for messing with everyone who started with TMA.

More thoughts on Scores.

So Dash or R does stand for rank them. This breaks things down to:

Categories 1,2,3 and any combination i.e. 12, 23, 13 (would a 123 be possible?)

(R)ank A,B,C and any combination i.e. AB, BC, AC (Same Q? ABC?)

I saw someone else's post on this and it looks like we are headed in the same direction. I suspect CAT;

1 - caused by person/avatar/monster

2 - cause by a place/location

3 - cause by a thing (not necessarily tangible)

However, Ep. Give and Take (DPHW basically stands for "A MASS gathering of Stuff" Agglomeration means "collecting in mass" and a congregation is , for the purposes of this, a gathering of people, animals, or things) and Doll, Watching don't fit this. I see the argument for both these events happening "at a place" (the "donators/employees" came and brought the stuff to a "location" and doll don't move, so you kinda have to go to them (a place/location)), but they also involve "things", but... this should be as good segue as any

(R)ank;

A - Dunno we've had 1 episode with this rank

B - Regret

C - Obsession (Compulsion)

I'm assuming they all have to do with fear, right. This is a horror podcast, horror is meant to cause fear. So I'll be working with this assumption until I'm told/proven otherwise

CAT2RC would be "Fear cause by an Obsession with a Place"

That still doesn't satisfy Dolls, Watching or EP. Give and Take for me though.

Kinda fits for Making Adjustments

CAT3RBC "Fear cause by Regret and Obsession with a Thing (the Tattoo, Perfection, Her Body)

CAT3RB for "Rolling With It" and "Futures" is "Fear cause by Regret due to a Thing" (Dice, Application and both statements emphasize how much is wasn't a "compulsion")

my thoughts from the new protocol ep!! (23)

1- the audible gasp when I saw the new episode lol

2 - as someone who likes true crime, this piece community sounds a LOT like a cult.

3 - this is one of the few episodes that has genuinely freaked me out a bit. Mostly because one thing I find creepy is fictional irreversible life changing medical procedures. Go protocol writers go.

4 - no canon jmart in this universe love isn’t real (together alone so alone together.)

(still reeling from 22)

5 - BASIRA AND HELEN???? Next episode Celia’s gonna drop freaking daisy and Melanie you guys I really hope everyone listening to tmp before tma is confused by these apparently random names we’re freaking out over.

6 - Alice knows. She knows something. She asked about the tape recorders and I think she’s hiding something. She remembers from before.

7 - “I know how many eyes a human is supposed to have!” That’s gonna change. Ooooh my dear that will change.

the mindy project s4 ep 23

“15% of us are going to hell? Seems pretty low”

“Kinda weak rn, I’m on a hunger strike against fracking”

Tmp is the best, and I’m so thankful for Mindy Kaling and her sense of humor

Everyone just assumes that the dual CATs are additive. So CAT 13 is just a case with both a CAT 1 thing and a CAT 3 thing. This is the simplest explanation, but I don’t think it makes sense. Out of the 5 dual CATs, I’d say only the ones in episodes 1 and 19 work. 

Episode 3 and 23 are similar, so why is only 23 given a dual CAT? Why not give episode 3 CAT 23 for the garden and the polyps? 

There is nothing at all in episodes 11 or 22 to suggest that the graveyard/telegraph are individually supernatural. Why do they get dual CATs?

Why don’t more cases have dual CATs? Episode 5 has the cashier and movie, 7 has the volunteers and donations, 8 has uncanny people, 16 and 20 have tattoos, 21 has the doppelganger, 25 has the chef and food, 28 has the skeleton monster, 30 has a bunch of random stuff. I feel like episode 29 deserves a dual CAT more than any of the episodes that actually get one.

Person/Place/Object works ok for the single CATs as long as you ignore the Klaus spreadsheet, but I’m convinced that the dual CATs are more complicated than people think. That being said, I have no idea what else they could mean. 

Also, bonzos-number-1-fan came up with a pretty convincing DPHW theory here:

Alright folks buckle up because I'm about to break down my entire theory for the TMAGP classification system before season 2 drops.

1. CAT - Category Many of you have probably seen my original post about the TMAGP categories being literally the most basic thing in the world and we all missed it, but in case you haven't, here's the gist! It's nouns. Is the source of the supernatural activity a person, place, or thing?

1 - Person

Zombie [Ep 1]

Needles [Ep 6]

Bonzo (x2) [Eps 10 & 12]

Snake Guy [Ep 14]

Hunt Aristocrats [Ep 15]

Ink5oul (x2) [Eps 16 & 20]

Talking Corpse [Ep 18]

Isaac Newton [Ep 19]

Not sure if this one is the scientist or the test subject but either way it's a person [Ep 22]

Coral Doppelganger [Ep 23]

Demon Baby [Ep 24]

Compelled Runner [Ep 26]

2 - Place

Garden [Ep 3]

Theater [Ep 5]

Hilltop (x3) [Eps 7, 17* & 30]

Liminal Building [Ep 8]

Cemetery [Ep 11]

Construction Site [Ep 21]

Restaurant [Ep 25]

Magnus Institute [Ep 28]

Tunnels [Ep 29]

*Episode 17 isn't confirmed to be at hilltop I don't think, but it is heavily hinted at so I'm going with it.

3 - Thing

Tattoo (x2) [Eps 2 & 11]

Murder Violin [Ep 4]

Dice [Ep 9]

Phone App [Ep 13]

"Fruit" [Ep 19]

Telegraph [Ep 22]

Coral [Ep 23]

Carriage [Ep 27]

I may be slightly off on some of these, but many of them are glaringly obvious. And each episode seems to fit, though some more cleanly than others. I'm open to suggestions on this, though.

2. R - Rank I posted about this just a day or two ago but I noticed when I was going back through that episode 30 had a rank of S instead of A, B, or C which seems a lot like it's a tier system, likely for danger levels. My best guess would be the ranks mean the following:

C - Low-Level Threat B - Mid-Level Threat A - High-Level Threat S - Extremely High-Level Threat [DNI]

If this is the case, any ranks that contain two letters are likely to mean that it's between those two levels. BC is Low-To-Mid-Level Threat, AB is Mid-To-High-Level Threat. This could also mean that in the cases where there are multiple supernatural elements, one of them is low and the other is mid, etc., but based on the way double numbers and double letters line up, I'm inclined to believe it's the first theory. Here is a list of all supernatural elements along with their rankings.

C - Low-Level Threat

Garden that turns people into trees [Ep 3]

Violin that needs blood to play well [Ep 4] *

Hilltop Charity Center [Ep 7]

Spooky tattoo in a cemetery that makes people drown themselves [Ep 11]

Portal from another dimension [Ep 17]

Talking corpse [Ep 18]

BC - Low-To-Mid-Level Threat

Zombie/reanimated corpse [Ep 1]

Tatoo that makes reality reflect a self-portrait [Ep 2]

Liminal building with uncanny cannibals [Ep 8]

Isaac Newton's fucked up crystal tree [Ep 19]

The Dome construction site [Ep 21]

Something about an experiment splitting a brain in two [Ep 22]

Coral that grows into a doppelganger if you shove it in your leg [Ep 23]

Demon baby [Ep 24]

Compelled runner guy [Ep 26]

B - Mid-Level Threat

Movie theater that Knows you [Ep 5]

Needles [Ep 6]

Dice that control fate [Ep 9]

Bonzo [Eps 10 & 12]

Gambling app where you can bet against your own life [Ep 13]

Snake guy [Ep 14]

Hunt aristocrats [Ep 15]

Ink5oul [Ep 16]

Restaurant where you can't stop eating disgusting food [Ep 25]

Carriage that eats people [Ep 27] *

Magnus Institute ritual [Ep 28]

Tunnels that drown you [Ep 29]

AB - Mid-To-High-Level Threat

Ink5oul [Ep 20]

A - High-Level Threat

[None in Season 1]

S - Extremely High-Level Threat [DNI]

Hilltop/Portal to another dimension [Ep 30]

*Some of these seem to be ranked lower than I think they should be, but they are much older cases so maybe time plays a factor in how dangerous they are considered to be.

While not everything is where I would put them, personally, I do think that overall they do seem to increase in threat level. I'm still not 100% sold on this, but it's what I'm running with for now until season two either confirms it or proves me wrong.

3. DPHW I'll admit it. I'm stumped on this one. I feel like this has to be a lot more arbitrary than the other two so it would be hard to reverse-engineer a filing system from it.

The only tiny morsel of a theory I could come up with is that each letter in DPHW stands for a word (duh) and that corresponds to the same number in the four-digit code. So for example, if a DPHW was 1947 it would be D=1, P=9, H=4, and W=7. Now what those letters stand for or what the numbers actually mean are completely lost on me.

If anyone has any good resources for how we could potentially figure this out, please let me know. But as of right now I think my theory is "It's a rather arbitrary sorting system that Alex and Jonny made up and we have little to no chance of decoding it without much more data."

That's it. That's the whole theory. It's not as wild and fantastical as we all hoped I don't think, but I think everything seems to check out. Let me know if you have any other theories, especially about the DPHW.

These are GREAT!!! I’d genuinely read a book illustrated like this ✨✨✨
