Next time, just post the message in the clear, since the text of the tweet is public.. Only spoiler the solution. At the very least, separate the two into two spoilers, and then label one as being the solution. Unfortunately, I couldn't have the fun of solving it, because I didn't know the answer was right there under the same spoiler block.

My apologies for the faux pas. I didn't think the translation would be an issue since it wasn't really a puzzle and auto translation (Bing, though I did cross reference Google) offers the message on the Twitter page.

New posts on Twitter/FB. It is unclear if this was something publicly or privately answered.

From what it seems, we're struggling because we have so many open clues/riddles that we have no lead on. Every new post only seems to add more complexity. I think we need a win i.e. we need to solve one of the open riddles in order to be able to solve some of the other harder ones so we can compare....Easier said then done :/

Not sure if it helps, but if you zoom in on the newest picture it looks like the pixels are part of the same picture. Maybe it needs to be put together like a puzzle.

To me it looks like ASCII art using numbers and a tilde or perhaps wingdings. I can see some 3s, 2s, and 4s at minimum, but not enough to put together a string of significance.

Hello, Xalindria.
Are you referring to John Titor, John Hevalicotta, John Sticher, John Dough,
John Doe, John Smith, John Stone, John Cena, John Tron, John Proctor, John
Jenifier, John Wilkes-Booth, John Belive, John Dillingham, John Eliason, John
Cage, John Freeman, John Carter, John Thomas, John Macgruder, John Marston or
John Layman? All are Ascensionists.
If you are interested in ascension, might I ask your opinion of adhesive? What
is your favourite use for adhesive, Xalindria?


There's the reference to adhesive again. Just like John Titor commented on the FB strawpoll.

Haven't been on this since May 2015, good progress at times, and then nothing for long periods. Quite frustrating, but great job for all those who continued to chase this down as far as you did.

You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. This world was not made for you to understand.

Perhaps Stanley was correct

I have a theory:

I think initially this started out as an elaborate troll, the story gained some popularity and then the person who created Kayne Quest was also interested in the story so he created a game that related to the Ascend story. This helped perpetuate the trolling and got more people involved.

By that point the original people trolling got bored and another group took over. From there the new group didn't know what to do or what to give us and thus these super cryptic clues that seem to have no relation to each other.

Again this is just a theory, I really don't know exactly why things have stopped or why things started to become unsolvable from the past few pages.

New...something, on the facebook. I threw up "win the game" because I wasn't sure what else to do. The other two were already present when I went to it. Not sure what's going on there.
