| 0:35.0 | No, no, no, no, no, no, for real this time. |
| 0:39.5 | Hello, Internet. Welcome to Game Theory, the show that keeps asking, what's their deal? |
| 0:45.0 | You see, theorists, this video was supposed to be my updated Poppy Play timeline. Every single |
| 0:50.2 | year, I do one of these videos, and when I do, I go back and recheck all of the official canon media to see if there's anything I've missed. And I do mean all the canon media. The game, the 2 ARGs, the book, the Roblox spin-off, the Fortnite collaborations, the Minecraft collaborations, and yes, even those dodgy NFTs we don't like talking about.

Then we thought it might have been rich, the disgruntled factory worker that climbed the ranks. Then we thought it was Elliot again, only this time he was a clone. It's complicated, don't ask. The point is, with every new update we think we've nailed down his identity, only for another |
| 2:05.9 | update to drop, that throws the identity into question once again. |
| 2:09.5 | But now, loyal theorists, I feel like I finally, truly cracked it. |
