It was either:

1) Sam, with a Santa hat on her head, or
2) One of the Mudokons that spray paint graffiti on walls

Alcar...

Uh, on another note, is the plural of steef, steef?
I think saying: I just saw 30 steef sounds better than saying: I just saw 30 steefs...

I thought both pictures were of Raisin, one from the front, one from three quarters profile, but I'm not so sure now. It looks kind of like a Mudokon with its eyes gauged out.

BTW, red bricks? The only other place I've seen them are the Bonewerkz. :fuzwink:

I've always thought it was just Sam.

I think I remember someone posting an enlarged portion of that frame, and we could tell who it was. But I could be dreaming.

Alcar...

I thought it was that.

They do look very similar, but I can also imagine it being Queen Sam. And that background behind her is actually her enormous body (that's if she has an enormous body - i'm going off what Maggie looks like).

Alcar...

I can't see what the hell you're talking about. I see neither Sam nor a Mudokon spraypainting. Could somebody PhotoShop/MS Paint some clarity into it?

I believe the actual image the photo frame was derived from is the image above the (crappy) enlargement.

*is attached*

Alcar...

Unbelievably, I still can't work it out. I think I can discern Abe's shadow and the hearts that surround 'MOM', but that's it. Hmph. It's odd, though, the first image was released two years after the first...

could be... could be...
but I doubt we will know it for sure :fuzwink:
anyway, Alcar, I think you comparason is pretty possbile, and I can't find any better at the moment

Wow, Alcar, that is EXACTLY it. I can see everything...it's the exact same picture. Good job.

I can discern Abe with the bandanna on his head, but I can't see the other dude.

-oddguy:fuzcool:

Attached is an image, where I've tried to outline the shapes of Buddy and Abe.

Alcar...

Ah, I see it. You have the eyes of an eagle, Alcar.:fuzwink:

-oddguy:fuzcool:

You... spotted that? Wow, well done. Like Oddguy says, Eagle eyes. Or pixel eyes. Square eyes, that's it, yeah.

what can I say???
well, probably that you have got very good eyes Alcar :fuzwink:


but what does that mean?
Are we going to have any clues about Sam in the next game?

We had a clue about Sam at the end of Abe's Exoddus, Xav. ;) And in the Holiday issue of The Daily Deception Online, I might add. It wouldn't surprise me if there were some clues about what we might expect in the future at the end of Oddworld 4. I wonder what they'll come up with the replace the usual Oddworld Quintology message.

well, I meant any new clue...
I don't see the point of "hiding" that image in a christmas card that came out in the MO moment, there isn't any reason to put that.
I just try to see if that could not be a clue for Oddworld 4

The eyes of an eagle? Bah! I can't see a rat from a kilometre away ;)

But yes, my sight is very good. That is, if I use my right eye, or both eyes (read: my left eye is crap, so my right eye makes up for a lot of it).

I just can't wait for OW4 :fuzgrin:

Alcar...

nearly forgot to mention it:
I got my card yesterday! Thank you soooooooo much OWI!

wow, that picture really clarifies things Alcar, that was some good spottin'.

Oh yes, I almost forgot too, thanks muchly to OWI for the card! It was super sweet and much appreciated. You guys rock!


Edit by Xavier: You talk too much :fuzwink:

I can understand if its supposed to be secret, but if its something to do with the new game...

Good good, but it's okay, it's nothing about the new game.
-- Max

What? What'd I miss?

When you become a FOM, you agree not to disclose the goodies that you recieve from OWI. I think Max let slip that the FOM's recieve a bonus in the Christmas Card, and Xavier accordingly edited it out to comply with OWI's request.

(You don't actually agree to not disclose, they just ask that you don't tell everyone - but you do as they request because afterall it is their generousity)

Alcar...

Funny. I was just thinking that I didn't want to be a FOM because you FOMers get your cards and stuff late, but now that I know you get a little something extra when you're a FOM, I want to be one!:fuzgrin:

-oddguy:blush:

Yeah same here, I would really like to be fan of the month.:fuzsmile:

never ask to be one, or you will never be :fuzwink:

Darnit, lord knows I tried to keep everything quiet. Darn myself for not thinking in the first place. I still don't remember using the word 'secret' at any point. :S

Crap. Alf wouldn't consider my little post above to be asking...would he? I'm safe...right? Tell me Xavier! :crying: Tell me! :crying: Waaaaa!

-oddguy:(

oddguy, I was just kidding,
I don't think there is any problem :fuzwink:

Well I dont think I asked. I just said I would like to be one. ;)

Phew! Good. Don't scare me like that.:fuzwink:

-oddguy:D

I got that card, too!
[QUOTE] Twas the night I saw stranger.
He was covered in shadow from his head to his boot, and his clothes were tarnished with crossbow soot. A bundle of ammo he flung on his back. I swore I heard voices from inside that pack! His eyes, how they squinted, his nostrils they flared. His cheeks were like mince meat, jis bounty was scared.His droll upper lip was drawn up like a bow as he sniffed a musket, then gave it a throw. His breath smelt like fruitcake from holiday's past. One whiff of that odor, and I thought he'd just gassed! With the flick of a wrist and the hawk of a loogie, he prepared for his journey and said, "Let's Boogie."
And I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight, " Happy Holidays To All, And To All And ODD Night!" I've remembered it by heart.

The guy with the tall hat looks like a Beaver...:D, a severely mutated beaver..... :lol:

I think the second frame from that X-mas card was the veiw of a glockstar's hat from above.....

Uh... Ann, welcome to the forums. But please make sure you read the rules. You just resurrected a topic from about a month ago but thats not the big concern. You can't double post let alone triple post. The only way you can is if you are adding on to an art thread or Fan Fiction you are writing.

I know you are new and thats ok, just make sure you follow the rules. Welcome to the forums though. :fuzsmile:

Sorry. I'm new here.
