Admin code... Do we need Mr. Administrator?

I don't think so, they said all of us hold the admin code.

But we're not admins... though we all know how to call Mr. A.

If we DO all hold the admin code... then what the hell is it?

I think it might be an overarching phrase found throughout the ARG turned into numbers, perhaps "2085 2311212 2391212 611212" or something like that.

"The Wall WIll Fall", maybe? Wait, is that what you just wrote? Wouldn't we need to turn it into symbols, as well? (We're not being communicated with in numbers, here.)

In that case, it'd be "@)*% @#!!@!@ @#(!@!@ ^!!@!@"

Damn I just felt like I wasted most of my night translating almost all of that, only to get beaten by Genndy.

Yeah this is so weird and I have no clue where this is going.

Here's the translations for their Twitter account:

//WHERE AM I//

HELP ME

//COFFE//

UNDERSTANDING

Also, they might have a typo in their name. There's a ) before the X, so the direct translation would be MATR0X. If you change it to (, it's MATRIX.

Um so wait, does this have something to do with the Coffee Room now or something? I'm so confused.

Uh... Who found the Twitter account first, and how did they find it?

...Well.

Victin was following the Twitter account back when it was a joke account for the Coffee Room. He never un-followed, so when the messages started coming in, he immediately brought it up in chat and went to Xana, who said he hadn't even remembered the account existed up until then. Apparently in the year or so since its last use, the account came under new ownership.

It looks like someone wants to play a game with us.

*...eye twitch*

Oh, this will be SO much fun! It has been too long since we've had a puzzle to solve!

That account was created by Xana back when the Coffee Room was in full insanity overdrive. Most of us who were active at the time followed it and already do now that it changed name.

Whether it's Xana's play, or if he handed it over to someone else to play with I wouldn't know. Then again, I don't know how this is cipher is coded either so, until things become more intelligible I'll just watch from a safe distance away.

Full disclosure, it's not me running it.

You all know how I feel about these layers of secrecy and whatnot so... I wouldn't take part in it without saying at least a "Can't say, I'm involved to a degree." So, yeah, wanted to get this out here. And I would appreciate whoever is running the account to come clean about it. I think we all can respect the boundaries of not handing over the answers even if we know who wrote the riddle, as EFP and our interactions with Rick already show.

It's a pretty easy cipher, all things considered. Basically, it's a numerical substitution, but when written, the shift key is held, so instead of 1234567890 you get !@#$%^&*().

The last two parts of the tweet translates to

Did anyone try Metaguard?

A code that we all possess, and a title we can all claim. Would that be enough to trigger the reset?

Password Metaguard now in effect. Full reset of Reality Manipulation and Parafine enabler device codename 'Matrx' now beginning.

Admin password reset systems to basic.

Retain files: Future Doc 1, End 1, Information 60, User Manual @#$@#$ error...

User manual not found.

Now entering reset stage 1 of 10000000
