New Tweet from Ed
 
Hello,

Last time I posted about the ARG continuing, it was a false alert, but this time it seems like it really is, because Ed has just waken up.




The picture seems to contain several hidden things in it. One is the number "15156" under the rightmost canister(?).

Will update as the story unfolds.

Ah, excellent! Finally more ARG.

Nemin 05-30-2018 07:14 AM
Several users on the Official Discord have commented that the "canisters" look very similar to ear protector capsules:

To me, they look like tear gas grenades

I'm glad we're finally back in action! :D

Anyone trying to get a more clean picture/anyone got all the hidden stuff?

Doing it right now

Edit: can someone check every known OW site while I work on it?

I'm at it
Also, found this (thanks to some peeps on the official owi discord)

Goodguyplayer 05-30-2018 09:11 AM
Went to both owi site, 1029, twitter and facebook. So far nothing

Phoetux 05-30-2018 09:16 AM
So here's whats been found so far:

Number

https://i.imgur.com/QfxJNhe.png

Others already noticed it. There's a number on this image, "15156". Might be a clue to something else.

Signs and/or words

https://i.imgur.com/oGiHOJs.png https://i.imgur.com/bKwx2iD.png https://i.imgur.com/ytpney1.png https://i.imgur.com/zQX7ZBF.png
https://i.imgur.com/KWF0rOX.png

Like people from owi discord noticed, there are strange signs here. Some of them look like some kind of figures, others are probably words or tribal signs.

Magog Logo

https://i.imgur.com/WnqSDX1.png

This was noticed by Wircea. It's weird to see the Magog logo on a 1029 image. Maybe they tried to cut this image off?

Strange figure?

https://i.imgur.com/4eyT5fB.png

This might be just me, but by editing the image I noticed these big eyes in the left bottom side. Could it be a mudokon?

Morse code?

https://i.imgur.com/SKOlbD4.png

This also might be just me again but this could be a part of a morse code. I couldn't find any more dots in this image.

...

https://i.imgur.com/QXriXzE.png

So this is so far what me and other people found. It's not much but at least it's something I guess. What we would really need right now is an hd version of this image, I couldn't analyze in the best way with this low quality image.

You checked the source of the sites?

Aye.
Oddworld site (soulstorm section) - Nothing changed, still the same party of things.
1029.io - All messages that have been found previously are still there, nothing in.
Magogcartel - Still empty, void of anything

Phoetux 05-30-2018 09:25 AM
Then I guess we'll have to find a new site

Nemin 05-30-2018 09:49 AM

Today at 19:08
so, to recap:
there's a messy picture of some strange canisters.
you can see some squiggles on it that look like an old drawing
there is a partial number on there, that's covered with something
INTERESTING.
:


Today at 19:47
the number is definitely cut off, isn't it? along the edge of the 6? maybe the rest of the number is somewhere else?
This is what OWI_Pete posted on the official chat. We'll have to find the other parts of the number "somewhere else".

SgabbitGabbiar 05-30-2018 09:55 AM

Also, given that just a few days ago, I was pointing out that MAYBE the ARG never stopped... maybe you guys just stopped finding the clues... I might, if I was in your position, be tempted to look at some of the things that have been put out but perhaps not fully explored yet.
BUT THAT'S JUST ME!

PSD is a photoshop file. They have separate layers (if whoever saved them preserved their layers)
That's also what OWI_Pete said on the Discord.

Small Update :

we tried to send these things to Ed on Twitter, but without success. He doesn't trust us, so maybe it means we'll have to find something else to send...or maybe not on Twitter.

Also OWI_Pete on Discord said:

:
I mean, you were waiting for ages while Lorne's twitter banner had a clue in it all along. Waiting only seems to make some people think the ARG isn't "on"
So we still have to find something hidden in the SS screenshot:

I don't suppose you've tried telling Alf? He's the only other Mudokon with a Twitter account after all.

I'm kidding, Abe has one too, he might be a better option. Though neither seem to still be active so it's a bit of a stretch.

Phoetux 06-05-2018 10:14 AM
Is Abe's twitter actually real?

Only as real as Alf's and Ed's is.

Geocache!?
 
Ok so the containers are geocaches i'm assuming, and oddworld just made a tweet from E3 not long after a tweet from spiritof1029 so they may be close together.

New tweet from 1029 as im typing, JW M. LA. Ok so they are definately geocaches.
Anyone at E3?

Phoetux 06-11-2018 03:51 PM
The Spirit of 1029's twitter has been posting recently new stuff

I don't know how to embed tweets

Looks like these canisters had messages inside them all along. "LA" suggests for Los Angeles, but I'm not sure what "JW M." means

Connell 06-11-2018 03:59 PM
A quick google gives many results of the JW Marriott hotel's LA location. Not sure if they'd hide one there, but it's a potential lead. Anyone know anyone at E3 by any chance?

is it worth sending something there that Hotel is a busy place so to just hide something for someone to find is a risk considering it could get stolen/found by someone unknowingly
