DO EET

I'm planning some Ed fanart myself.

@Manco
Yeah basically.

I think we were meant to find the Twitter account quite some time ago, and certain inputs would trigger those tweets maybe?

But today they were like "let's put 140 hashtags in the source code, someone will get it." And that person was me. But then there was a backlog of finding to be done, so once we had the twitter we caught right back up with them haha.

Vlam 04-04-2016 09:10 AM

The ARG is over?

Great!

You are a God, Connell.

I think they’d set up the account much earlier and were tweeting occasionally as we solved puzzles, but we weren’t really meant to find it until at least around the time lsot.mp3 was solved. There’s not really been any clues before the past few days which would have pointed us toward Twitter.

I think we're halfway, if not less.

EDIT: Typing "ED" into the search box returns

[FIND ME, HEAR ME, SAVE ME]

I don't know if it did that before, but it's 100% not generic.

Why do I feel like we're looking for a soundcloud profile or something next? Haha. Probably not.

Nepsotic 04-04-2016 09:18 AM

Wait, we found a Twitter account and that means it's solved?

Pirfsich 04-04-2016 09:18 AM

Probably less, we solved ""only"" 2 of 9 Code segments so far. Depends on how fast the others go.

Right now we have nothing further to solve. We’re waiting for 23k followers, and potentially Ed may tweet again later and unlock more things for us to do.

Nepsotic 04-04-2016 09:24 AM

Fuck sake all this shit is lost on me. If there is ever anymore audio shit I will return.

There's quite a bit more to do. We're sort of awaiting orders as it were for now.

It's a shame no one photo shopped fez on to "a fan art" :(

Connell 04-04-2016 10:08 AM

Nothing ground-breaking, but entering @edmudokon in the form returns:


*** OF COURSE, RIGHT? ***

I can confirm, is funny!

No

Connell 04-04-2016 11:34 AM

In honour of this momentous day in the ARG hunt, I've altered my avatar. The jokes definitely not funny now.

I do believe I agreed at the time. It's just a memorable forum meme, in a way. I'm slowly de-railing this thread :p

Has anyone considered running Ed's Twitter picture through any image editing software, or is it the same as one we've seen before?

I was just about to check.

Connell 04-04-2016 12:32 PM

Having a tweak, I believe the picture behind the static is the Abe's moon.

Abe now returns: "*** ABE? YES - ABE. SOON. I'M TRYING TO SHOW YOU ***"

I believe that's an elongated version of the previous message.

FrustratedAssassin 04-04-2016 01:27 PM

Ahahahah I literally missed the whole ARG now there's asterisks and stuff what the fuck

Holy crap this happened so fast. Great find guys.

My heart hurts seeing the Oddworld community work together like this, and for me not contributing. I didn't see anyone say that entering "fart" gives "EHEHEH" yet, so I contributed that.
Edit: And that's already on the wiki. Oh well.

I'm a chronic observer. I'm having a blast.

Ed's active on Twitter guys, morse code:

.- .-. . / -.-- --- ..- / .-.. .. ... - . -. .. -. --. ..--..
0 retweets 0 likes

EDIT: Translates as "ARE YOU LISTENING?"

I feel like the next part of the puzzle is to do with audio, considering how literal the "search for me, follow me" clues were about Twitter. "Are you listening?" He wants us to hear actual audio I think. Just had a look on the OWI site pages for the New 'N' Tasty soundtrack on a whim, but nothing came up.

Also, that tweet came on at exactly 11AM (or adjust for your time zone, dead on the hour is what I mean to say), so there's a possibility it was an automated tweet just to keep us wriggling. There's no way they're hitting 23,000 followers any time soon though. It's gonna be a long wait for piece 2.

Snukm 04-05-2016 02:20 AM

Have you tried searching on soundcloud again?
