[Russell]

Ok i have read through the forums and really dont know where I am any more! Can someone please tell us if there are any existing puzzles that need to be solved and where they are. IU is even more patchy on where we are up to than UF! lol

[Caterpillar]

Russell, I don't think there is anything "unsolved" at the moment. For a trail update please see HERE.

[Paradoxic]

I leave you guys all alone for one night and look at all the stuff you get into... Honestly, I can't take you guys anywhere without you solving a half dozen puzzles!

Heh, just kidding. Good to see things are up to date, great job so far.

[Ursos]

You know, we probably should have compiled a list of all of the "pale.htm" and "beholdyouthsfolly.htm" type of sites with a (very) brief explanation of what's on that particular site, too. That would make it a lot easier to go back and re-read something we may have missed. Should we start doing that from here on out, or does someone still have all 3 thousand of those sites somewhere?

[Arbitrary_Moss]

I *shivers* have them all saved to my favourites... want me to post them here? I just don't really know which came first... they're alphabetical... damn.

From now on I'll put 'em below here in order as they come. The rest.... I dunno. If someone can make head or tail of it, you know... just... give me the list.

Moss, I can't praise you enough for this trail/information. Thank you so much for keeping all these pages. I missed so many of them because I entered the game late. Even tho they are alphabetical instead of sequential I can now figure out this game. Thanks for posting this.

[Arbitrary_Moss]

Dashcat- thank you so much for that very warm thank you. I'm so glad that I could be of help.

I'll post the trail thus far on the Wiki when I get a chance.
