I believe @Gray_XOF is unofficially supported by Konami. ARG/Real Life S3 Program Twitter is the surprise HK mentioned

or part of it, at least.

ORIGINAL POST

I've updated with more pictures, this is all I have.

All "SPOILER" text will show text when you hover over it (lower left corner), the rest are pictures/tweets.

  • CURRENT LEADS ingsoc.org, @gray_xof, @XOF_IMANOK, @YongYea, @popsicle, @funhaus,

  • INCONSISTENCY found this while making this post: remembered @Gray_XOF mentioned something about a trailer featuring the song by Garbage "We are not your kind of people", check this out

  • CLUE @Gray_Xof mentioned "yellow lines" during cutscenes, first time I've heard anyone mention this, it's related to VR Training, I've noticed these VERY OBVIOUS yellow lines during stressful moments (also when advanced technology is shown)

I will start by saying I know we're all angry we didn't get a direct unlock of more chapters with the ingsoc.org countdown and we felt slighted, along with that the trail seems to be dead for any hopes of more story. However I have good reason to believe it's all true and planned.

I am not affiliated with any of them, nor have I ever participated in an ARG, I'm just a person that loves the series and just so happened to have captured some pictures (but definitely not all of them) and read all the tweets before they got deleted

"Let's say this ARG is true":

  • @Gray_Xof is Deep Throat (AKA Gray Fox/Frank Jaeger). I thought I'd message this guy on twitter to see what he has to say, after all, Deep Throat helped me out in MGS1 by warning me about those landmines just before the Vulcan Raven tank fight. Anyway, turns out he had a massive amounts of clues/hints text already prepared (more on this later)

  • Please don't bring up the fact Konami denies that they're involved, I know nothing about ARG's and even I know this would immediately destroy the purpose of the "whole ruse cruise full of clues we have yet to uncover", they represent the Patriots.

  • Yeah I know gray_xof put up a picture of a trollface right after the countdown (even though this is something I've only heard). Could be to throw us off big time. If you want to "prank" people, there's no incentive to post this.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

  • He has unraveled/spoiled very large parts of the story, spanning what's more to come from MGSV and the rest of the entire series. it may have been a huge cost but I'm happier now than I was before I thought I understood the story.

  • I may be one of the few people that know this much, however I can only provide you with the pictures I have, and I did miss a very important part.

SPOILERS FROM HERE!! I WARNED YOU!!

The tweeting process (from what I remember):

  • It started with many tweets questioning whether or not we actually believe what we've gotten from this game was intended or not, questions like "have you discovered any inconsistencies in the game?", "did you feel like something didn't meet eye to eye?", telling us we're intentionally being fiddled with, and the literal Phantom Pain is nowhere near as bad as we all think it is. (My theory is an influx of angry feedback triggered Gray_Xof to start talking, giving the fanbase hope before it's too late)

  • He started replying to people, most likely to gain traction, so his twitter page would get answers from the questions he planned to ask, allowing him to provide us with the story while still playing the ARG thing, seems a pretty elaborate prank for some basement dweller, right?

  • He announced "the patriots are trying to silence me", meaning the stream of news is coming RIGHT NOW

  • Points out some of the inconsistencies (1,2,3), meaning it's intentional (and we should've pointed this out to them somehow?)

  • starts tweeting The Good Stuff (more below)

  • Tweets there is more to come, but we need to be patient

  • Shows signs of being hacked, tweets "Stop resetting my password" and "WHO DID THIS @XOF_IMANOK, I KNOW IT WAS YOU @ken1555, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?

  • Start giving radical information such as "Kojima was never fired", "MGS5 is in development", "Hayter will be contacted soon". Picture (the "Kojima was never fired"-tweet got deleted fast)

  • Is "hacked" by JD/The Patriots/Konami. Still giving away hints (eg. yellow lines). Debunking everything that was said. Heavily referencing the S3 Program.

If you're convinced here, you can stop. If you can hold on to the fact that more is coming and we're not even close to understanding the story, I advise you to stop reading.

IF you can't handle the Phantom Pain any longer, read on..

THE GOOD STUFF (I missed saving this entire part of tweets, yeah.. if anyone has more pictures or context, I will update)

  • Our theme is the [SPOILER](/the Sins of the Father and The Abandoned Child)

  • We are being controlled by [SPOILER](/Casette Tapes)

  • Big Boss Hospital Scene [SPOILER](/real Big Boss is moved out of the hospital before you are, the men coming to get you is the Ocelot Unit)

  • We have [SPOILER](/2 Phantoms) (this is confirmed in an official trailer that I can't find at the moment)

  • We're not playing the role of some Medic. We are [SPOILER](/Gray Fox / Frank Jaeger) -Picture [SPOILER](/notice his right eye) - Retcon - Picture -[SPOILER](/there were many more pictures, a direct quote from Gray Fox in the game proved this even more so, I can't find it)

  • Ground Zeroes is [SPOILER](/a VR Mission), The Phantom Pain is [SPOILER](/the Script)

  • Our father is [SPOILER](/Zero, we are paying for his sins)

  • Can't remember things concerning: Parasites, Raiden, Ocelot, Skull Face, Psycho Mantis

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Why am I doing this?

I think whatever konami/kojipro is doing with this, requires our participation if we want to get what we want, they say we have yet to uncover more of this game and I would not be surprised it's already available to us.
