I actually put down two stories cause i couldn't pick.
Mine were: The Juniper Tree and The Nixie of the Mill-Pond



So so far we have:
- Draghkar: The Forbidden Ones (?)
- Mehetabel: The Story of a Boy Who Went Forth to Learn Fear (KHM 4/A-T: 326)
- Rad24: The Shoemaker and the Elves (KHM 39/A-T: 503)
- Bluesylvia: The Three Languages (KHM 33/A-T 671)
- Necropolitan: The Juniper Tree (KHM 47/A-T 720)
The Nixie of the Mill-Pond (KHM 181/A-T 316)
- Tenshi: Snow White and Red Rose (KHM 162/A-T 426)
- Mrshomersimpson: The Devil with Three Golden Hairs (KHM 29/A-T 461)
The Riddle (KHM 22/A-T 851)

[Elethamei]

My Grimm story was Death's Messengers (KHM 177 and I couldn't find it in the Aarne- Thompson thingy).

I like grassroots games so I try to be forgiving when the PMs make stumbles so long as they keep going and don't just implode their game. To me, it's better for a PM to make some scheduling errors and fix them than when a PM runs away from their own game without even a word of apology.

But could we lay this to rest? We now have a puzzle we can be solving, guys!



So what Drust said to Tenshi ("... Analyze the Ballad / The answers will come at last") got me thinking that perhaps an answer to what we need to be assigning numbers to is within the Tam Lin ballad. Since the Child Ballad is connected to the number 39 I decided to take a look at all its verses. The first thing I realized is that each alphabet number correlates to a different version of the same story. So what was originally a 68-page ballad from hell is really only three pages!

But while reading it a couple things did stand out to me:

[Mehetabel]

New message. Apparently we've all been assigned roles. Although I expect we've all gotten the same message, I'm still adding the text of it, just in case.

[njberry]

orange lily here, oooo i love my role have i missed anyway to get in contact with the unholy court ?

[Mehetabel]

Nah, we haven't gotten any leads, in that direction, yet. Draghkar was hassling Bellman about it, a few days ago, though.

[Tenshi Akui]

I haven't received an email. But hey I'm cool with being a double agent LOL

[LOBO247]

i got the email as well. so now none of the trails mean anything? but they are going to do them anyway on top of having these secret missions? am i understanding that right?

i want so badly to get into this. i guess im not 100% out yet. i'll keep and eye on it and see.

Something about being named a "sacrifice" upsets me on a very deep-down primal level, and makes me wanna walk away from the game.I'm still gonna play though. but I think I learned a little bit about my inner survival instincts when I saw that.
