Everything is gone indeed. Even the internal pages. Can somebody post hall.html?

Zi

hall.html was just the "who are you" question. Owler found the answer this time to be "initiate" and right before it all locked up got through to the next page.

on a hunch, just before the page completely locked up, at hall.html i entered "initiate" and got a page w/some text on it, here's the source

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>The Seventh Sons</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#CC0033" text="#000000" link="#CC0033" vlink="#CC0033" alink="#CC0033">
<div align="center">
<p>Lowliness befits thee,
violence suits thee not; a, naked man frantic in a bee-house is out of place.
Leave aside thy strength, betake thyself to lowliness, that so thou mayest
trample the heights of heaven beneath thy feet; for God knows that, rightly
seen, thy strength is a lie, and thy lowliness truth. If thou layest claim
to strength and wealth, thou hast a blind eye and a deaf ear. Thy face and
thy gold are red, thy coat is of many colours,--then look to find thy honour
disgrace, thy peace strife. Come not to God's door in the dust of thy strength,
for in this road it is through lowliness that thou becomest a hero. This comes
not of discharging thy debt, but from bartering thy indigence. Look not on
His Omnipotence with thy impotent eye O my master, commit not such an outrage.
</p>
<p>So long as thou art thy
own support, clothe thyself, and eat; but if thou art upheld by Him, thou
shalt neither sew nor tear. All that exists, O friend, exists through Him;
thine own existence is as a pretence,--speak not folly. If thou lose thyself,
thy dust becomes a mosque; if thou hold to thyself, a fire-temple: if thou
hold to thyself, thy heart is hell; if thou lose thyself, heaven. If thou
lose thyself, all things are accomplished, thy selffulness is an untrained
colt. Thou art thou,--hence spring love and hate; thou art thou,--hence spring
infidelity and faith. Remain a slave, without lot or portion; for an angel
is neither hungry nor full. Fear and hope have driven away fortune from thee;
when thy self has gone, hope and fear are no more.

Why put it up if we weren't, though? PMs should be used to the idea by now of the players running around trying out possible urls. This would have been a particularly obvious choice.

. . .well, not that obvious, seeing I didn't think to try it.

Mmmm, ARGs. Good for keeping down that raging ego.

also as a note, in the source there's a link
<a href="turns.html">.</a

so when the page is back we need to look for that period or look for turns.html

tis frustrating knowing where to go and not being able to get there!

Back to the non-clickable logo with the red background.

The PM's couldn't have expected us to not try that puzzle. Why is it gone???

Well, we were right, the colors are looping, its white today, and my guess is that it will be black tomorow.

We get one chance every 7 days. We will again be able to login late satuday/very early sunday.

Well in that case, we need to start thinking about possible logins.

What have you given up?

RECAP:

On sundays, starting at 7:00 PM East coast time, the entrance to The Seventh Sons opens.

First, it asks who you are.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
seeker


Then it asks what you seek.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
knowledge


Which brings you to http://www.theseventhsons.com/antechamber.html

This leads to:

http://www.theseventhsons.com/twistedpath.html

Then, by clicking the picture a few time, and typing in "seeker" when it asks who you are, you will be lead to:

http://www.theseventhsons.com/hall.html

Which again, asks you who you are.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
initiate


Then in the source of that page is a link to http://www.theseventhsons.com/turns.html

This page asks "What have you given up?"
And thanks to varin, the answer is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
myself
