Well, I'm glad that Robin's alright. I was thinking, and maybe Robin should try spending the night at a hotel? If txkkxt doesn't harass him there, maybe only Robin's house is bugged, and he can stay somewhere else while he gets someone to search for the bugs. If txkkxt finds him there, then we know that its something more. Obviously, Robin should pay in cash.

I'm also wondering why Robin hasn't gone to the police about this yet. Is there something he's not telling us? Why is txkkxt harassing him like this? There has to be some reason behind it, and I think that Robin may know more than he's telling us.

You've never seen a stalker film, huh? The stalker is following the person. The place of residence is only a means to terrorize the person. And going to the cops would make for a rather boring game, don't you think?

I disagree. A decent game wouldn't end just because a character went to the police. On the other hand, it could reveal more information, such as the reason why Robin is being stalked. Don't tell me that if you came home to find a rock smashed through your window you wouldn't call the cops. As far as we know, txkkxt hasn't warned Robin against contacting the authorities, so why shouldn't he?

Personally, i think it would be better if Robin took a stand and used the resources of the Internet (us) to out-think his stalker.

But if you wanna suggest the cops, go ahead. Personally, i think the stalker will just laugh at the attempt.

I agree, I don't think that the stalker will much care whether or not the police get involved. I was hoping that we could squeeze some more information out of Robin as to why this person was coming after him in particular. Unless txkkxt is just a weirdo with a penchant for terrifying random people, Robin must have done something to anger him. Since Robin hasn't contacted the police yet, I'm thinking that whatever he did, it was probably not something that he wanted to inform the police about.

I won't bring it up to him; I don't want to do something that we're not all behind. It was just a thought I had.

@ironnikki: Reckon that's a perfectly reasonable question which I almost asked him myself last night. Go for it imo. Cool

This is kinda reminding me of that movie "Phone Booth" with Colin Farrell, except Robin's in a house and txkkxt doesn't have a sniper (as far as we know Wink )

what I don't understand is how all of this is helping us get the key to door #2. are there other questions that we should be asking?

Not being directly involved and only getting impression by reading summaries, I wonder if each of these doors will have a story tied to it and the password you need describes this story or is some key (ha!) element of the story.

Aurora said something about wanting the story to finish. And that Robin is most important to the story. I'm just not sure if this is related to the entire game or just door #2.

And the first key was Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes is one of the most popular stories in Detective fiction.

Robin went home to find his door open. Now he's going to a hotel and is gonna call the cops.
