So the code 2SG2ewS3J1c from 2ignS_Gign2e_wS3_ignJ_1_IGNc.php is the id of the cursed video from Ringu: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2SG2ewS3J1c

7UxYmEr31kk from XXwQ.txt looks very similar.

Any kind soul willing to write up a decent summary on what happened since I left? Last thing I remember we just discovered 4 terminals, 4 code words and 2 locked unknown doors.

Also weird code word in pk23

One person solved the text adventure, resulting in the text adventure being solved for everyone. A new video was released in which a robotic voice says, "We only see a fantasy. Reality is a lie." This turned out to be the password for WAU (login wau weonlyseeafantasyrealityisalie).

Once logged in as WAU, we were able to access the pk5 folder, which contained a scrambled image that was different for everyone. A Photoshop wizard pieced together the image, and now we're trying to figure out what it means. Unfortunately, 4chan is down, so we're the main group working on this.

Cheers, didn't miss much besides proxy fun with the text quest.

The image to the right is the one they tweeted.
Poe was the one to introduce the word "Maelstrom" into the English language.

Maybe this leads to the Maelstrom in Saltstraumen in Norway.. that is pretty famous and mentioned by Edgar.

May be relevant
"The Swedish bishop Olaus Magnus included the Moskstraumen into his detailed report on the Nordic countries and their map, Carta Marina"

Swedish like Frictional.

I've tried using "Olaus Magnus" and several combinations as login. The same for Moskstraumen/Maelstrom/Whirlpool as password

It says "password incorrect" if you find a user
Passwords do nothing until we find the user

Looks like a fail. This tweet https://twitter.com/MrMrAnti/status/604259097656049664 is earlier than tweet from PathosII

> locate chr2img protocol

Character 2 Image protocol? Do we need to decode the image into ASCII somehow?

Also, good job on breaking 4chan with your crazy SOMA thread guys.
