So does anyone have any idea where this is going or what it's all about?

Speculations?

Ok, things to try for tomorrow?

Did the White Queen ever get placed on the chessboard on the second floor? Because that seems like a step we never took. Edit: This should be done tomorrow.

Also, going through the thread I noticed we never figured out what the message You Hath Wove Last meant (it was thought to be an anagram).

There was also:

Twelfth Orb Hell Looms -- An anagram of 'For Whom The Bell Tolls'

It Knows Nothing Of Whim spells out 'I know'.

Alas Retrospect Errs
Youth Once Ubiquitous
Must Avoid Dreaming which spells out 'Are You Mad?'

There's also the message Ye Tautened Your Cocoon (Thanks Fishjp!)

On the first floor, we've found three books tied to Lovecraft and the Necronomicon. We've also found references to two of Danielewski's books (House of Leaves and Only Revolutions), as well as references to Alice in Wonderland.

Anything I'm missing? I feel like some of our information is getting lost in thread.

ETA information: I think the wiki might be a good idea at some point soon.

Just so everyone knows, I am also on the fifth floor. Just before the landlord called it a night I had kicked down a door and begun searching inside. I am not sure which door I am in because I stated "I chose a door at random and kick it open."

ETA: Nuala there is also this:

I have the white queen in my pocket from the Recreation room, it was the only piece on the chess board in the room.
There was one other game in the room similar to Risk,

Quote:
The strategy game resembles risk. There are numerous pieces of one army surrounding one piece of an opposing army.


I moved the pieces around but nothing happened.

Speaking of steps we never took... Did anyone ever check to see if the front door of the building was locked?

I am still very new to all of this, has anyone played this kind of game before? It just must be SO much work and time consuming for the PM, I can't imagine trying to undertake something like this, keeping everyone organized and interacting, it's just crazy!

Tongue Tied, thanks... I knew that there was something with the White Queen and saving her. Keeping this all straight is hard.

I've only played arg's for a little while but I havent heard of anything like this....on the internet anyway...cause I mean i guess as far as the PM is concerned its the same as if he ran an L5R campaign or something similar... only a little less complicated but alot more frenetic


eta: across from the room with the dollhouse is a room with a chessboard...on the chessboard smeared in a red substance (possibly blood) it says Save The White Queen....tied mentioned that he found a white queen piece and I thought maybe the board and piece would trigger something...Im not so sure about it now...but at all costs tied..(lol) save that white queen piece

The other chess board said "save the white queen" in a red liquid across it right?
I don't know if that actually means we need to place this white queen on that chess set (maybe it does though) maybe it's just a message about saving a character referred to as the "white queen" having the chess boards on both floors might have been a way to inform us all (on different floors).

oh ya, I'm a she (Andrea) so you know me when you meet me in the game
