The Book

[ALISDAIRPARK]

yeah she's def hooked. No reply to my emails last night, I wonder if we'll get any movement on either storyline over the weekend, or be left hanging...

BTW guys some of the stuff above dosn't really need spoilered, generally we use spoiler tags for puzzle solves (so other people don't accidentally see the answer, and have the fun of solving it themselves)

It says on the We Tell Stories website that the Slice story ends on Friday, so maybe that's it, they've all just disappeared...
Can't help thinking we're missing something though.

The new story is due for 1st April (Tues) so the disappearance of some characters could just be setting up for later parts to the storylines. If we have missed something there may be chance to reclaim when all stories are 'up'.

I have been lurking on this one and it seems pretty interesting.. some nice narratives at play.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

The stories have been good, but too much left hanging at the end for my taste. I'm not sure that things will get tied up later, but we'll see.

EDIT: Yeah, checked back, 21 Steps finished kinda OK, very like The Game, but didn't say what "the company" was ot what he would be doing. This one just ends with them all disappearing down the hole, no explanation of what was down there or why they didn't come back, etc etc.

Overall it is a promising venture into a new way of writing stories, so I guess we can exect some growing pains

Greetings!

Wow. My brain is hurting, and my eyes are burning. I just started in on this game today, and I've just finished catching up on 21, Ink and Treacle, all of this thread, and Slice.

I've been a LiveJournal user for years now, so Slice has a special appeal for me. I agree that it doesn't feel...finished. I have some ideas about possible leads, but I'm feeling too unfocused, brainsore & eyesore, and lazy at the moment to really follow them. So, here are my thoughts, in case anyone else has already pursued them or has more mental capacity than me to pursue them... Or, if anyone wants to tell me that I'm looking down all the wrong rabbit holes...

1) Some of the users on Slice's friend's list are obviously players. I know I added myself. ^_^ Some of the others lead to blank journals that were recently created, and it's not clear if they were made as quick props for the game or as quick accounts made by players to follow game. And a couple of the others...are intriguingly mysterious.

Tenfivegirl and rabitchaser...are you players? Otherwise, I suspect that you are a part of the play.

2) Is anything up with the Google maps locations in Slice's LJ?

3) I'm still puzzling over Mary Jane's moon-song/rabbit entry and the previous one-liner entries... "Asterisks for nights I went through"? Jacomo?

On a quirky note, I did discover the musician Nick Drake while doing a search "moon song jacomo" on Google. ^_^

All right... I'm sure there's more, but I'm out of time and out of energy. Good luck to the rest of you, and -- hey, are we ever going to get another post from -- WHOA! OK, somehow, I missed all of Rayandlynn's 3/28 entries. I'll have to check those out tomorrow.

Night, all!

Nights I went through clearly refers to times she went down the hare-hole.

Still not heard back from Alice either, guess they take the weekends off.

I've just realised something else, on the first story there was the phone calls, and puzzles that gave us the emailed story. There wasn't anything from this one, did we miss something??

[chelec]

Not sure. Running round St Pancras was fun (did anyone else try it?) but will they do that on all of the stories.

But I'm pretty sure that the Blue book and the index (which includes things like Obsidan Mirrors) relates to the larger game. Putting in a bunch of search terms from the list lead me nowhere - yet. Actually, I wonder if Alice has a copy in her shop?
