You and me both. Maybe we can team up, knock someone else out of a house, and then share the space... Laughing

So I got my first official response for Transition Village. Looks like we're in for an excellent text-based adventure here. For future reference, I am in the Blacksmith's House.

For those of you who don't get a response immediately, it would appear that people will be invited into the village as we vacate our houses, so be ready.

I'll see you all around the village!

Subject: Welcome to Transition Village

You are in a musty room, standing on concrete. In front of you is a heavy door. To your left is an old, dusty chair. To your right is a kitchen table large enough for four, with no chairs. On the right wall are a sink and one cabinet. On the back wall are a gas oven and two faded spots where pictures used to hang. On the left wall are a twin-sized bed, a nightstand with a burnt-out candle, and a wooden dresser.
You notice that some numbers are carved into the heavy door.

~Transition Village will accept one action per turn. Turns occur on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Transition Village will send one response to each action. If you would like to leave Transition Village, please send "Request to Exit Town" to transitionvillageSPLATgmail.com. If someone you know is interested in coming to Transition Village, that person is free to enter as soon as one of the five houses becomes vacant. (vacate a house by walking out of the front door -- you will continue to explore Transition Village). Just send "Request to Enter Town" to transitionvillageSPLATgmail.com.


EDIT: Binary translates to:

Welcome to Transition Village! This is the abandoned Groundskeeper's House. You have a purpose here; try to figure out what it is. There are ghosts, so stay on guard. If you see other travelers along the way, be sure to say hello! Any changes you make to the town are permanent until someone else changes them, so please be considerate... and careful.

Okay so now, to make my first move. - Although; I'm wondering where Funnel are based b/c their store prices were in GBP (£)... If they're in the U.S I can make a move now and one in the A.M but if they're here I lose out on a turn cos it's gone midnight Confused lol

Edit: Oh well nvm. I made my first move:

I walk towards the door, to check out the numbers which cover it.

I didn't really think this would be limited to five people. I leave again for work on Wednesday, so I sent a message requesting to exit town. Hopefully this will open up a spot soon.

Hey Leyton, Funnel Productions are located in the U.S., but they had many overseas players for Man of the People. I would assume that is where their pricing came from.

I got the same email as you guys, but with Blacksmith's House swapped in place of your respective houses. I am currently searching through items in the room and will pass on anything useful that comes out of this.
