I wanted to know what book Phoebe Anders @pandersto is reading in her profile pic.

It's "Trickster's Queen" by Tamora Pierce. I don't know anything about the plot, but it's set in Pierce's Tortall universe.

The essence of the Enochian system depends on the utilisation of Eighteen Calls or Keys in the Enochian language (a series of rhetorical exhortations which function as evocations), and a Nineteenth key known as the Call or Key of the 30 Aethyrs.
Maybe Thurber Wilson has something to do with these?


And Pix have you read any of the Titus Crow stories by Brian Lumley? Almost a continuation or Lovecraft. Deff worth the read

I didn't realise he was from Maine! I think it says more about my television watching habits than anything else...

I'll bow out now, before I make more of a fool of myself!

I e-mailed them yesterday pretending offense at having not received my invitation yet. They replied in-character as if they knew me all along!

I love when PMs do that.

I am in the game!

. . . and have no idea what I should be doing. Great.

Reading the history page http://www.innsbruckacademy.org/?page_id=231 there is mention of a Gordon Lake who appeared and "new life was breathed into Innsbruck Academy" then disappeared mysteriously.

I wonder if he was Lovecraft's Professor Lake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Mountains_of_Madness#Professor_Lake

Not sure I'm going to have time to play this what with RL and my own game getting in the way. Definitely looks interesting though.

ETA: Probably not related but interesting all the same:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeper_of_the_Keys

Oooo! Been waiting for something C'thulu-y that was in the pretty early stages! Going to e-mail in and ask about perhaps volunteering at alumni weekend

[Zobot257]

That's a good detail!

Also note that there's another email address I didn't see anyone mention here yet. I don't konw if it's going to be in game or not, but it was listed on their website and might be useful: ircSPLATinnsbruckacademy.org. It's for their Technology Department!

While on the subject of technology, I see a lot of links in there to what seem to be legitimate library resources on the Library page. Can someone confirm that? There also now seems to be an email log in prompt on their web page for "Squirrelmail", which was the same sort of email offered at my actual college, University of River Falls. Nuts!

On the admission forms they posted up there's a few other interesting things as well: another email address adminSPLATinnsbruckacademy.org, which I presume is associated with applications exclusively, as well as an odd question at the end of the application (Write about a time you have overcome the unknown)

Lastly there appears to be either an IG character or someone who is playing along on twitter, @fraglordjoe

Also, I'm playing in this. Hello everyone![/b]

Seems a little cheap if you ask me...

[Pixiestix]

I don't know what they do in the UK, but it is 100% normal for you to need to bring your own sheets and blankets and pillows for dorm rooms. It isn't "being cheap" ROFL The fact that the rooms include other amenities is pretty "uncheap" and semi-unusual.

Thread drift (help fight continental drift)...

Got anything new other than our failed attempts to illicit useful information from the IGs.
