Soulstorm ARG - New website found

[Nemin]

Morse code deciphered:

"We know how you work now. We know your codes. We will stop you. You will not intimidate us. Our way of life must be preserved."

[artemisbot]

Pigpen:
WE WILL NEVER GIVE IN TO TERRORISTS. YOU WILL NEVER WIN. YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT OUR SPIRIT. WE WILL FIND YOU AND WE WILL WIPE YOU OUT. WE IGNITE THE FLAME THAT LIGHTS THE DARKNESS. THERE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW SUCCESS

[Nemin]

The middle black text:

you are a resource. you are expendable. we will replace you when you fall. you will work. you will obey. you will comply. or you will perish. we have the prestige. we have the power. we will profit. always. always. always.

[Xavier]

The 62466640222 2777833555 code spells "Magog Cartel" when using this kind of keypad:

[Phoetux]

Isn't that the same photo OWI posted time ago?
Also good find!

[Nemin]

On the top right side of the picture there was a bunch of "ed"-s and "X"-es. Translating "e"-s into "."-s, "d"-s into "-"-s and "X"-es into "/"-s it turned into a Morse-code, which gives us this message:

LOOK, WE CAN MAKE SECRET CODES TOO. YOU ARE NOT AS SMART AS YOU THINK YOU ARE. WE HAVE THE RESOURCES AND THE PERSONNEL TO SIMPLY SWAMP YOU WITH WORK. HOW MUCH TIME DID YOU WASTE TRYING TO DECIPHER THIS CODE? ALL THE TIME, WE WERE GETTING CLOSER TO FINDING YOU. WE ARE ALMOST THERE. MAYBE WE ARE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW, WAITING. WATCHING. YOU CANNOT HIDE FOREVER, TERRORIST. WE WILL INCINERATE YOUR SILLY LITTLE GROUP AND SCATTER YOUR ASHES TO EVERY CORNER OF OUR EMPIRE SO THAT YOU WILL ETERNALLY BEAR WITNESS TO OUR SUCCESSES, AND YOUR KINDS UNENDING SERVITUDE. YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST.

Menacing I must say.

Myself and Nemin both worked on the Braille at the bottom, this is our answers put together.

"rupture.farms 1029 will rise from the, (a) shall every so do.
we will rebuild it bigger, better and more people rather of it (number symbol) this 1 (n)not from (do, 4) (it,x) like the go rtestill, m o i c i e t | f a c t o r y t , o . l w h a s , e s e * ! x w a t o q u/m s y m b o l q G l u k k o n / r e g p/v t l c ; i g n o r n/z . , o t q r o r i / w n 4 e t q u 4"

After realizing we'd been conned and looked into the source of the image and found the translation.

"RuptureFarms1029 will rise from the ashes. we will rebuild it bigger, better and more profitable than before. it will be the greatest, most efficient factory that Oddworld has ever seen. it will be a towering symbol of Glukkon strength that cannot be ignored. one terrorist will not deter us."

Wiki has been updated with all the latest findings related to the picture:

[STM]

I'm particularly interested that the Magog Cartel spokesperson uses the term 'empire'; is this sabre rattling rhetoric, or a subtle insight into the true extent of the Magog Cartel's power?

Good work everyone.

[Dead Meat]

Isn't that the same photo OWI posted time ago?
Also good find!

It looks like an edited version of it, a la the first 2 images.

[burgrr]

Did nothing new happen at all yet?

[Xavier]

Nope, nothing since the decoy picture made by the Magog Cartel.

[Vanilla ✜]

Nothing big but magogcartel.com is "***UNDER CONSTRUKTION***".

[Xavier]

The first (hacked) version of the MagogCartel.com site has been archived here:

The second (under construktion) page has also been saved and is available here:

Words can't describe how I feel to see this...




Shrink omfgyes


Edit: i caught some numbers (i only caught 22) and the words "wants" " to" "eat" and "you" anyone catch the anything more?

[Phoetux]

i caught some numbers and the words "you" "eat" anyone catch the rest of that?

The numbers are "22/9", the date when OWI will be at EGX. It's most likely a teaser to something they're going to show there. It'll probably be a trailer or maybe more.
The words in the video are "Everyone wants to eat you".

[V_O_T]

A remake of that trailer would make me have a brain aneurysm. It was the first thing I was exposed to when I found Oddworld. This hype is exactly what I needed right now

[Xavier]

High quality version of the video is available on TOGG:
http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...7/category/105

There are multiple messages flashing on the screen:

8

2

9
1
/
8291
829/
229/
22/9
EVERYONE
WANTS
TO
EAT
YOU

Note that, as Phoetux pointed out, 22/9 is the date of the EGX event.

[Gunnr]

Man, do I wish I could make that event

[STM]

Mudocon 2017 confirmed to be actual slogs released into a room of OWF members.

[Michael]

Something about that gives off a very VR feel, its a POV shot and speaks directly to the viewer. I know that's a large part of the ARG but I wonder if there'll be some VR compatible parts of SS?

I remember hearing Lorne talk about VR on Kinda Funny last year. He was a big supporter of it, so maybe there will be.

Not a big VR fan personally, but I can't deny that the idea of VR in Soulstorm sounds so cool.

New pictures!

There's Morse at the bottom of the sport page but I'm not 100% if it spells something out as I was only able to get "ETTT ATE ETTEEE IETT" from the parts I could see.
Also lil detail I noticed is the writer of the main report is "Sneers Pormen" which is a stone throw away from Piers Morgan "US editor-at-large for the Daily Mail website Mail Online."
There may also be some Morse at the very top of the front page but I honestly can't tell, it's just too blurry.

[Xavier]

All 6 photos are now on TOGG:

And the new version of the page has been saved too:

[Gunnr]

Burned the fencing between the mudokons homes and the factory that employs em' and that it spread to a Magog motors, huh?
Coincidence. I think not.

[Phoetux]

Well well, this is all interesting! Also in the new site source there's a text saying:

seriously, are you guys seeing this?!
