He just tweeted! Something is about to go down.

Connell 04-04-2016 08:28 AM

ED IS TWEETING RIGHT NOW GUYS

Pirfsich 04-04-2016 08:29 AM

I just reactivated my account for this...

FennecFyre 04-04-2016 08:30 AM

HAH I beat you that time Connell.

Manco 04-04-2016 08:30 AM

Sorry, I didn’t see that.

New tweet:


Connell 04-04-2016 08:31 AM

The chat box has changed guys there's a new layer on it

GDI WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN WHEN I'M ON MY PHOOOOONE

E: C4GD returns DRINK...BREW... Generic?

Connell 04-04-2016 08:33 AM

I love the fact OWI had someone ready to go the minute we cracked it.

Manco 04-04-2016 08:33 AM

We have 9 pieces to find, each piece is a string of 4 characters.

G4GD-****-****-****-****-****-****-****-****

They probably had the site scripted to update the message box when someone input the code. The Twitter account has been updated several times over the past couple of weeks, so we don’t know if their posting now was intentional or coincidence.

Connell 04-04-2016 08:34 AM

Where do we find them?

Manco 04-04-2016 08:35 AM

Site comments have changed again:

:

There was a minor, insignificant error in the code here. Please ignore any message(s) you may find as a result of this unfortunate glitch. Apologies.

OWI.

Connell 04-04-2016 08:36 AM

True. The Tweet did seem to come on the second I put that code string in the chat box on the Soulstorm site.

FennecFyre 04-04-2016 08:37 AM

Manco's find makes me think we'll be getting more codes through script comments.

SUCK ON IT VLAM, THE ARG IS BACK IN ACTION!

There’s a few more ed tweets that we haven't looked at yet, some of those may hold clues.

Connell 04-04-2016 08:38 AM

I converted that binary and it says "can you hear me"

other than that one said 1029 in words and I put that in the chat box and nothing happened.

EDIT: since his tweets 1029 now returns:

[GEL NTNVA]

Which ciphers as "TRY AGAIN"

Manco 04-04-2016 08:40 AM

What about

Connell 04-04-2016 08:44 AM

Nothing. Combining the two (851212151029) gave me generic responses too, however:

C4GD851212151029

(Combining all 3 clues) gave me TRY AGAIN also

EDIT: Each time the order of "TRY AGAIN" is mixed, so maybe it's a case of getting them in the right order? Everyone have a tinker

EDIT 2: ED HAS TWEETED!

"You can hear me! Just, please, listen."

I had a look on Soundcloud at a whim haha. No Edmudokon registered.

The chatbox has also flipped round and features a ? over piece 2 of the code.

GOSH this got exciting didn't it?

EDIT 3: ED HAS TWEETED MORSE CODE

".-.. . .- .-. -. / - …. . / …. .. … - —- .-. -.— / —- ..-. / - …. . / -.-. .-. . .- - —- .-. …"

When translated there are a few errors but it is safe to assume it says:

LEARN THE HISTORY OF THE CREATORS

Btw, oddworld.com/soulstorm/85121215 links to

Manco 04-04-2016 08:47 AM

85121215 is a simple letters to numbers cipher: 8 5 12 12 15 becomes H E L L O.

Edit: Piece 2 has become a ?

EDIT: New tweets!

Morse Code on twitter:
.-.. . .- .-. -. / - …. . / …. .. … - —- .-. -.— / —- ..-. / - …. . / -.-. .-. . .- - —- .-. …

translates to: learn?t?e??i?t?r???f?t?e?creat?r?

Jesus fuck this is moving fast again

New Code segment seems to be a task for us: "15 Photoshops of alf's fez onto game characters".

But where to post them?

Manco 04-04-2016 08:58 AM

Piece 5 has been updated to O, but the 4-digit code isn’t revealed.

“15 photoshops of Alf's fez onto game characters”

What?

Edit: The URL of the Piece 5 image is: ed/JN3HD82YRE.jpg

Pirfsich 04-04-2016 08:59 AM

and also: www.oddworld.com/lorne-lanning/

Connell 04-04-2016 09:00 AM

Is this a task we have to do and send to Ed? Why 5 did we unlock that one too soon?
