Exclamation Soulstorm ARG - New message found in the source code

Hello,

a new clue has been found by Vanilla ✜ in 1029.io's source code between HTML comment tags:
:
heh, that was easy. let's see...
---

OWI_Alex has posted some cryptic comments in the Official Oddworld Discord channel after being asked about this new piece of text:

Vanilla:
yo alex
this look familiar?
"heh, that was easy. let's see..."

Alex:
nope
where's that?

Vanilla:
found in the code of 1029.io
and no one seems to remember seeing it before?

Alex:
weird
anything else changed?

---

So the current question is this: Anything else changed?
Maybe there are new stuff that needs to be found. What do you guys think?

I'm currently having a dig around recently found pages and looking through the code, nothing so far, will post if more is found.

News!

If you refresh 1029.io, there are parts of the logo highlighted in green. In the highlighted parts there are letters replacing the usual @-s. The first letter was also found by Vanilla.

These letters spell one familiar word:
M A G O G

I'm in for the happening (Mostly on discord)
Lets get this checked together!

I think that, accordingly to the way it was written, it is a slig trying to send a message just like the 1029 did before.
... Yeah, not much for now

A small thought:
The way that the comment was made in the 1029 site,
" !-- heh, that was easy. let's see... -- "
reminds me of another quote when the asset 98 was killed.
" !-- see ya around, 1029... -- "
The page which I'm talking about is the 1029.io/repository/asset98/1173418569/

I think that this anonymous hacker could be a slig attempting to harass the 1029 by leaving the magog message.
Was there any other page with the same type of comment?

Just checked and nothing so far, but I noticed that the sites http://1029.io/ed and http://1029.io/8291/ are actually down. I'm not sure if this is revelant or not.

Quickly checked the wiki for any references to them. Ed's page is mentioned once (and it linked to his twitter), but the 8291 have so many multiple instances that has captured my attention.
First time, it is written in #8291ed.
Second time, http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...1_WHAT8291.jpg
In one of the pictures.
Third time,http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...9182918291.JPG
Another picture.
Fourth, http://www.1029.io/whatifwetoldyoutoo/8291
And now, we have them on the OWI discord server.

Any info on these numbers?

8291...with the emoji's names in OWI discord server it spells "etno". It doesn't tell me anything at all, it only reminds of the volcano Etna and etnic stuff. In poor words nothing revelant, but it's strange to see this number different times.

I saved the pages spelling MAGOG over here:

http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...29.io/index_3/

I think it's weird to have such a small update with nothing else.
Feels like we are missing something.

Indeed, also there is another thing. If you refresh the pages enough, some words become highlighted.

"HIDDEN", "LOST", "ERASED"

So quite possibly we need to look for something that's gone.

Could it be the dead asset? He was hidden from them, then lost and by our mistake he was erased...

Nope, those words have been randomly highlighted ever since we discovered the site in June 2016.

Asset98 died the 7th of February 2017.




Also look who's waking up

Eh, honestly this whole MAGOG thing could be an amazing advancement in the ARG, if it actually progressed beyond that. People lose hype quickly if "nothing" happens. And this one tweet isn't exactly exciting.

Wiki has been updated with the latest findings:

I called it the "fifth transmission" as I assumed this is what's happening.

Mysterious Magog Cartel logo on OW discord

https://i.imgur.com/v8JU9tI.png

OWI Alex posted this on the OW discord as an emoji, before suddenly removing it, saying 'sorry, that was weird'. I think we're close to seeing some real shit from the Cartel.

I think by "weird" he meant "made in a wrong way" since he reposted the magog logo but with transparency.

Edit: He deleted it, tfw

(The original was mc and mc~1 (It changed) )

Edit: If anyone posts this emoji, it is instantly deleted. Corporate censorship?

Strangely enough, when putting the 8291 code in the Discord chat using the emotes it gets deleted too.

EDIT: Also something sent strange stuff through Alex's account, here's what I was able to capture:

EDIT2:

The accounts of Alex, Pete and Bernice all started acting weird, posting gibberish only to have their posts removed seconds later.

However we were able to capture the link to this picture:



https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...Untitled-1.jpg

At some point it stopped and Lorne Lanning joined the channel for a couple of seconds and left without saying anything.

EDIT3:

And now this just got posted:

Suspiciously the message is unfinished. It lacks the #wewillrise hashtag and also "silent" doesn't have it's 't' and the dot after.

Looks like it's still happening.

The hacker seems to be confused with some of our words asking things like "WHAT IS OFFLINE" through Pete's account.
