I chose 29 and did not notice at the time the weird period - didn't hear back yet.
Also, since I received the word puzzle, I did send in the answer and asked if it was correct. Nothing back yet.
I didn't respond to anything about the history yet. Waiting to see what others want to do. The wiki sounds good to me.

I'm pretty sure someone just made an error. It would probably be fixed if anyone chose 29 and gave it some action.
I really like Billhouse's solution to the puzzle. I hope we see more puzzles like that. Are we supposed to tell someone that solution? The only email address we have is the info one...
Since no one seems very interested in coming up with new rules, do we want to just email something like this page: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_play_Senet ?
We'd just have to modify it slightly to fit with the actions currently on the board.

This ARG seems to be moving really slwly and Ii wonder if it's because we haven't sent in the rules. Since we don't all have to sent the same rules, I'm thinking of summarizing some of the real rules of Senat and seeing if that jumpstarts something. Any objections?

To be honest I think they want us to get more players.

I sent in some of the rules both accepted and assumed yesterday. Still no reply. Oh and I'm space 18.
Maybe it'll start moving on the 19th.

Hey.
Yeaaaah, sorry I keep vanishing. In fairness I've had a bit of medical strife the past few days that has been keeping me out of being involved in stuff in general.
I WILL be back by sunday, but I have some more crap to slog through first, my apologies.

stalled? anyone still playing?
I haven't even been able to get logged into Level One
, but I've been following the thread and reading the blog. Maybe we aren't playing the correct game?
From the blog:
"You're not going to believe this, but the Chaturanga pieces I mentioned in my last post have gone missing. "
....OK I took square 9...another turn

I'm still here, SpareChange!
I think people are just waiting for something to happen. I assume its gone quiet because we need a few more people to join up to fill in all the spaces, but I guess there aren't very many people interested in this right now...
Especially considering that Drake was kind enough to compile the rules and everything, I thought this was going to pick up. But I guess we just have to keep waiting.
By the way, I can't tell if your crossing out means that you were finally able to log in. Just in case, the username is winorlose, and the password is playthegame. Cheers!

senet A pdf that explains a bit about the game and how to move on the board. A few squares are known, the starting point, for example is #15.
Maybe if we reconsidered our rules by starting with the pdf, the game will progress....or maybe I'm late for the party!

29 is now filled in as "Roll a 2 to exit the board" Seems like some of the others are finally getting filled in as well.....

That was mine. I wasn't sure it would 'take' since it showed the period. I hadn't seen that at the time. Good to know it worked.

This ARG needs to pick up or people will start abandoning it. No blog entries? No teaser emails from the PMs like "What game are you best at?" or "What opening ould you play in a game of chess?"

I sent an email to the Info email address asking what to do next.
Let's see what comes of it...

Over 48 hours and no reply. Have the PMs given up?
