Game Theory: The Hidden Code of Unus Annus (Markiplier & CrankGamePlays) 

imagine all the coded messages were just to throw off matpat because they knew he’d come searching for it

Seeing this video be around after the hard words of “this video is no longer available because this user has terminated their account”hurts so much

MatPat: "As a concerned friend of yours, please stop breaking your nose." Mark: "Fine. I'll break my foot then."

''will the channel actually die?'' Me, three months post mortem: the best year of my life was gone in an instant, only to reveal a black screen covered in my tears. **insert chaos in the Unus Annus Community Here**

“Also, I’m not a doctor... But as a concerned friend of yours, Stop breaking your nose. -_- ” Lovin’ the script.

"What is Mark hiding?" Apparently nothing, the real twist was that there was no twist

I love how mark and ethan end up making fun of matpat's therory in the final goodbye stream.

“Will the actually die?” *me, sitting here, seven months after the end*: who’s gonna tell him?

The person in charge of the Machine has to be Amy: 1) The pumpkin carving video she gives them tons of demands, and they look scared when they see her 2) In the recent video where Ethan and Mark are turned into Shadow versions of themselves, Amy is with them, but nothing happens to her, she isnt killed 3) She is always behind the camera, controlling everything that is being seen 4) Every suggestion she makes, they do AMY IS THE ONE CONTROLING THE MACHINE

Ok, this just went from "Oh yeah, they're spending a year doing silly stuff" to "I'm a liiiitle scared."

In one episode Ethan says something along the lines of "What if the outside only exists when we see it or something" Mark replies with something like "What do you mean?" and then the episode continues as normal.

“Will the channel actually die?” **Intense sobbing**

Mark, Ethan, and Amy after watching this: "Wait we didn't think about that."

"They're in a machine" Turns out it's just a giant fnaf spoiler scott made

Unus Annus was such a work of art on so many levels. Momento Mori, my friends. You will not soon be forgotten.

This hits different after Matpat's retirement video

This is the most markiplier thing that markiplier could possibly do.

"sweet piece of man candy" *hears mark laughing hysterically in the distance*

Gotta admit, coming back here five and a half months after the final moments, and just over a week after losing my third cat (first one to a heart condition, second one to age because he was a rescue, and my boyo on the 18th to a congenital kidney disease) who was also black and white and the best of boys, this hits so hard. I mean it hit hard when I wrote an entire poem just over a month after that fateful day, a poem I'm editing to make as tight as possible to be published in a "real" publishing magazine (something not only English/Creative writers might have heard of) but now… stars above it hit so hard. I will say that if nothing else, and I'm terrible with actually taking things to heart when it's not life or death, that I'm glad I took to heart that my little black and white buddy wasn't be to be taken for granted. He was 3. He lived through all of Unus Annus, and because of that channel's impact I spent more time with him than any of the other cats (and my service dog outside of her job) in my house because… because maybe I knew that he wouldn't make it past just over three years. That my time was limited and that his was as well. Just hearing Matpat recite the similar cadence of the opening intro to Unus Annus reminds me of all the things that the series meant to me and what I took away from it in a vivid way that makes me want to reach out to those I care about but haven't heard from because I dropped the ball in 2020. To paraphrase a thing I read ages ago on Tumblr: Elves value humans the same way we value our cats and dogs and other pets, we will alway live staggeringly long lives, and be destined to outlive them, so of course we value every second. Unus Annus taught me to value that sometimes two and a half years is all you get, and that if you can make those two and a half years amazing for that animal you rescued (or person you got to know) in even the smallest way possible… it's always worth it. I'll always be grateful for that. Memento Mori.

12:16. A pattern on both walls are hiding something

"Someone is trying to stop the clock." Well, yeah. The fans.

Ok but what if it's Amy controlling everything. "Don't tell Amy" "She won't know" idk

9:25 WEE WOO WEE WOO *ah, my fnaf reference alarm is going off.*

Mat: “I’m not a doctor but as a concerned friend of yours: Stop breaking your nose” *Mark is probably going awww when watching this video*

Mark and Ethan: *Pee sauna* “Scientist out there, why is our pee foamy” MatPat: “I got you” Didn’t expect MatPat to be the one to answer their question o.o.

Plot twist: Amy set this up and mark and Ethan have no clue about this

4:23 "4 squares 2 idiots and no actual scores" How did I miss the first time that that's a 420 joke?

1 year, two months, and 18 days. Memento Mori and Memento Viviré, friends.

Me enjoying the channel not noticing any of this: "THERE'S LORE?!"

"What's Mark hiding?" That he's a masochist.

"will the channel actually die?" "Who's gonna tell him ,I ain't."

I still rewatch this... I still miss it so much

Ah yes, turning up the brightness to get a code is the way to a theorist's heart

"What is Mark hiding??" Masochism and he's doing a terrible job at hiding it

I still love how MatPat added the timer which also is how long the video is

This video introduced me to Unus Annus and I couldn't be more grateful. Of course I binged every single video (and bought a bunch of merch) but this was also my actual introduction to Markiplier as more than a gamer (I was very late, I know). Just wanted to thank you for helping me find one of my favorite RU-vidrs!!

Imagine people in the future watching this and saying wtf is he talking abou

:,3 who’s here after the live stream deletion? (lowkey hurts seeing the “this video isn’t available because the user closed their account” message )

I dont remember from what video it is but I remember seeing the clock go back for a second

Im so mad at myself that i didnt reach unnus annus after there channel is gone-

Amy has said “I could take this channel and no one could stop me.” Just a hunch, but maybe she’s the mastermind.

"It's not Mark and Ethan in these videos" Yes. It's Hee-Hoo and Gongoozler.

9:26 That sounds like Who killed Markiplier a bit, how Dark took our body because "Celine and Damien" tricked us and left us behind in the mirror.

The clock hasn't stopped, but the individual has escaped I get the feeling we're gonna see them in ISWM

Theory idea: the identity of: THE GONGOOZLER

They literally both just died again in today’s “Phasmophobia in real life” video. From shadowy ghosts of themselves...

Me looking at the 2 years ago tag :(

MatPat never fails to amaze with new theories and head video starters. Unus Annus

3:40 Matt: "This is not Mark and Ethan" Me already dying of laughter: "No! It's Hee Hoo and Eef!" Eef, The gongoozler, The melon man! Unus

Mark and Ethan watching this video: He’s onto something, take notes

:,> When you're watching this in 2021 and you're still crying...

Still 3 years later, I find the concept of loss after forming bonds with a cast of characters to be brilliant. This can form an emotional response from the audience and draw more publicity to the creator. This storyline offers a narrative of suspense as we await the doomsday clock of our dear characters' fates, leaving the characters on a cliffhanger, just begging for the next event to unfold.

It’s Evan. He is the one who said Pee Sauna. He makes the decisions

“That is discord. Not FaceTime.” Spoken like a true philosopher

I’m so glad I got to experience unus annus before it vanished

14:00 - Matthew, but, with @Calico, a company whose mission is to try to solve, and, also stop, death, @Google is working to stop, and, cure, death.

“will the channel *actually* die?” uh- well-

Considering mark already does amazing interactive series before this, the chances of it getting deeper is really likely.

Man, months later, I still miss it.

Ohhh i get it now It symbols you can't stop Death,You can't Stop your fate,its Inedible you can't stop the clock,Death will always be there,Your Spirit will always Extend through your body until your just Cold,Solid and Hard.

All this lore is great and all. But y'gotta admit, adding such a serious and interesting story to a channel that started off by *cooking with naughty toys* is just hilarious.

Its Amy, thats why when she's away they say "don't tell amy"

Matt: This is a video about Unus Annus RU-vid: Yes this is a video about FNAF

I honestly thought they made that channel for fun, I rlly had no idea they dug that deep into the lore thats awesome

just to contribute, i found a code at the end of the video "Ethan kidnaps Mark" there was an extremely brief code in another language "I can hear it coming there's not much time left, the ones that tried to stop it have had there hearts cleft. It is now your turn to put this loop to rest, take us out of here and show us a new nest."

Game theory: *DEEP ANALYSIS ABOUT HIDDEN CIPHERS AND MEANINGS* Mark, Ethan and Amy: hahaha clock goes tick tock tick tock.

Plot twist: the internet is the one trying to stop the clock, the internet has archived the entire channel

MatPat: They will permanetly die when the channel is deleted, and on that cheery note -

"Will the channel actually die?" Y'all-y'all wanna **briefly cries** tell him?

This video hits different after the channel was actually deleted.

For some reason I have a feeling that MatPat is running an ARG and no one has realized.

"Someone is fighting back against the death of this channel." Me: Yep. The archive channels out there. XD

"Someone is trying to stop unus aunnus from fading" Me: Yeah, its the fanbase

"There is something controling all this" oh its Amy

can you imagine finding this video post mortem and just like- it would be terrifying

Not me finding this video more then a year AFTER their death...

Me just enjoying the channel: “yeah, memento Mori babies” Me after watching this video: *whispering* “there’s lore? I didn’t know about the lore! I only knew about death!”

Plot twist: The gongoozler is Behind it all

Man I’m so sad I didn’t get to experience this amazing channel..

"look at that sweet piece of man candy" -Matpat

“Will the channel actually die?” Um... YEAH. IT DID.

Mark is hiding something Me immediately: HE *IS* A MASOCHIST

"Memento mori" A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS!!!

unnus annus was my theorist awakening i went lore HUNNNGRY you teach well

I love how you can never quite tell if Mark and Ethan are geniuses with a huge plan for every story detail, or if they just kinda make it up as they go along and let us turn it into a deep story about life and death and the meaning of the channel. Either way they are incredibly creative and very good storytellers

"much more serious and much more sinister" me: *Amy*

"Will the channel be deleted?-" me now: AHAHAHAHA FUNNY STORY MATPAT-

The worst part of all of this is that, we actually never will know if any of this had substance.

I just came here after the livestream.

Who is here after they ended the stream and the whole channel :( Gone but not forgotten

I like how the timer matches up with how long the video is

Coming back and watching this again, it makes me miss this phenomenal project.

When referencing Amy and he shows the anamatronic 😂😂

The last second is up, everyone who was there in the end, you all have bragging rights for a lifetime now. Momento mori, everyone.

Editor : "I'm attempting to stop the clock from the inside" *Looks at the "this channel doesn't exist anymore" on my subscription page* Mission Failed, -we'll get em next time-

matpat: we will all die kurzgesagt: well yes but actually no.

As a note, you showed it on screen, on the Twitter page for their editor: He's trying to stop things, but it also says 'Memento Salvare'. If 'Memento Mori' means, 'Remember that all things die', then 'Memento Salvare' means 'Remember that all things are saved'. Nothing on the internet is really ever deleted.

Plot twist: there was no plot twist and everyone is crying there self to sleep right now

With the release of In Space With Markiplier we need a new episode of this.

Intro: it's a theory Me: markiplier loves SCP
