Mercury {cool kid}: None of the users here named “HowToBasic” are HowToBasic. They’re trolling, don’t take the bait. Thanks.

SpikeViper: Nothing in the Thumbnail nor his Merch site code nor the Channel Banner (Looking into the math)

Tokicastle: 'Cx' is just a twitch meme, nothing worth looking at.(edited)

ImperialSteele: TT on the board is now generally accepted as an arrow and not another TT

Crowdslay: 1. It isnt even that far of a stretch, the hints are in plain sight and not really far apart like grabbing info from other videos 6 months in the past. 2. I know the switch doesnt matter, its just a clue thats there to mislead with the same outcome. 3. I skipped the 'n' because "Egg Town" is written on the Whiteboard, not "Eggs Town" And if Eggs = Corn, and the 's' is missing, the equivelant happens to Corn, the 'n' will just get taken out

Artikan: what about onisians’s card having TT on it too then? Or are you just saying that the sticky not tt is just an arrow?

apollo: https://youtu.be/JSXGagNzNLw?t=10m46s What was originally 1,2 is now 1 dude

verttex: Any names of files uploaded to twitter are irrelevant since twitter renames them.
verttex: Ali Snapchat backwards is Drake God's Plan video.

apollo: http://18022018.com/login?next=%2F this site is from a wedding thing The website 18022018.com is unrelated! It's just a website for a wedding.

eggdrop292 is a fake. They're in the Discord and made it to mess with everybody.

This post was posted at APRIL 1ST. Update: May not actually be debunked, but is very likely to be.

yobroitsjo: any recent retweets by @HowToBasic seem to be just rts of people complimenting his video, no other importance to them

MrFerf: As of right now, there is nothing special in the tags of the HowToBasic video or any maxmoefoe videos that are currently being analyzed.

apollo: Egg Lord92 and Egg Queen2000 are most likely irrelevant, due to the fact that this has been in the descriptions since 2014.

MrFerf: mmf2v12 is likely not part of the video link we're looking for, and is too short to be a video link on its own(edited)

Taiga Aisaka: These white specs in the video are simply light reflections, they show up a lot on the marble surface.

Steph: This isnt braille, its not a code. Its simply a decorative kitchen tiling on the wall.

We're working with the idea that at the end of the Face Reveal video there was a Wingdings coded message that translated as follows:

:mailbox_closed: :small_blue_diamond: :cancer:️ :diamonds:️ :virgo:️ :aquarius:️ :writing_hand: ❖ = /watch?v

This message is obviously the end of a Youtube link and so we're trying to find 11 case-sensitive alphanumeric characters to lead a video ID.

Possible Characters: S S S H [F or 3F or F3 or FFF] Z D [T or TT]
[8:04 PM] verttex: Clues:

Eggs Cracked: Noncracks as 0, cracks as 1 into binary translator gives you "Sß" which transitions to "sss" using German grammar. S = tear in Wingdings. 3 Tears[tiers] mentioned in video. (Thanks to @Chroma Kumatora, @AncientAngel_86, and @Oceania)

'8th Hand' from video: On the Wingdings chart, the 8th letter is H. So we can conclude one of our character is H.

YouTubers Letters: Nigri has F in her hair and appears 3 times. Keemstar making a Z. Silentc0re blocking D in Canada.

Onision Sign: The sign says 'TT' where it should say IT. Possible there is either two Ts or just one.

Eggtown: Whiteboard says Eggtown, and then swap Eggs & Corn and then EGG->GEG. EggTown = Geg Town, Cor(n) Town = Ocr Town. Using number cypher: squareroot of corn is 6.

[8:04 PM] verttex: Leads:

Description: Was updated with Ali, Max, Warrun, and Michael. Unknown if this leads anywhere.

Tags: Tag was added on the Youtube Video with wait for the =. Current thinking is this either is about another video or hinting us again towards a link.

Nuts: Maxmoefoe tweets a lot about it and even put them as the answer to the HTB face reveal. https://imgur.com/gallery/YHn0h Unknown if this is just a joke.

[5:24 PM] yobroitsjo: New video from HTB (3/28/18) with new official leads:
❍︎❍︎:sagittarius:︎:page_facing_up:︎❖︎:open_file_folder:︎:page_facing_up:︎ ?
this message flashes in bottom left at 2:08
translates to mmf2v12 wingdings

 YontiYontz: Third thing that shows up is MaxMoeFoe when searching EggLord92. MUST BE SEARCHED WITH YAHOO SEARCH ENGINE SPECIFICALLY(edited)
[6:25 PM] YontiYontz: The MaxMoeFoe channel link is actually not a direct link
[6:25 PM] YontiYontz: maxmoefoe/search?query=how+to+basic

(12th video ["Date Added: Oldest"] from maxmoefoe's second channel)

YontiYontz: NOTICE: All people involved in solving please note if any serious leads are found they will be posted here very rapidly. Any false leads will just result in your message being deleted. And if it continues I cannot guarantee whether you will be around much longer. We are all eager for clues but please don't abuse it.

[2:21 PM] YontiYontz: Weekend Update: We have gotten a big portion of potential leads the first being this tweet posted quite a while before the upload on HTB's channel. I would keep an eye on this twitter due to the immense coincidence.

Cookies and Cream: I'm not sure if this is helpful, but a clue to know if the cameraman, is how to basic at times (Maybe to see reflections etc) how to basic has double jointed thumbs (Seen when he finishes his video with a thumbs up) and has 3 freckles around his wrist area of his left arm. I hope this helped :)
