http://theabandonedwindmill.com/notesandnews.html new update. The note is missing the letters W,L, and E. Makes it easy to read the note, making the long word that is almost entirely redacted "Dweller," if I had to guess.

First word is while.
The last line looks like the very top of "the well" so I think you're right on "well"

Edit:
Whoa, Am- you took your post down whilst I was replying Smile

Oh, hey, he took my advice.

And it's creeping me out what the answer was.

Oh dear...

So I finally have the in-game clues to post one of my theories. I have a fuckload of theories 'cause I spend too many time thinking about it Razz

Going to spoiler it mostly because I'm too shy to post it in an open space, and also because it's just a theory and I just want to share it with the world. Seriously, you don't even have to read it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Daddy dearest is in fact keeping secrets. I believe he is involved with the SOG - maybe not one, but... I think Tom is supposed to be the object of a ritual - like a sacrifice or something. And he gave Tom away - maybe because he couldn't say no, or he's just a bad person... or he did it to protect Regina.

The SOG are trying to bring their god to life - they need a key, and that's Tom. (At first I thought it was just the Windmill, but why wouldn't dad want Tom to come home?)

The plan would be perfect - but then there's Notey, giving him clues and telling him to be careful... It's making things harder.


If I'm wrong about anything, please correct me and help me.

Anyway, should we advise him to trust no one including dad ?

I'll agree with you, I've kind of had the same idea for a while, and this latest post prompted me to ask him a question.
I'll go on and spoiler this since you did, lol
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've been trying to think of any way it isn't out of pure malice for Tom. The idea that his father was forced to bring him there works. It might also help explain Notey. Is he Tom's father? Or his mother if she's in on it, I believe she was the one who packed some of Tom's paintings.

And I've been wondering if his father didn't have something to do with his psychiatrist - the rings indicated that she was probably a protector, which doesn't sound too threatening if it's geared toward Thomas.

But the big question is; why Tom? Does the host have to be someone who's less than mentally stable?

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Tom is a guy. Sons of Grace and all.

@RandomGuy26 I'm glad we agree and I'm going to spoiler it just because it's fun.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I love the idea that one of his parents - actually, dad - is McNotes. I mean, he's pretty much involved with the game, even if he's not actually there.


As for "why Tom", @Aki & @RandomGuy26 here's my two cents on it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Remember they keep calling Tom "Miss"? I believe they do know his dad and they do know Tom is indeed a woman - the one they need for the ritual.

Remember the painting that gave us a sacred site code? It was a woman in the middle of the swords. Maybe women are the key to the ritual.

But see - Tom is a girl, but he is not a girl. Not physically, not psychologically. So maybe dad decided to give Tom away, because it would confuse "it" or the SOGs.

Or dad's a bitch and was being good to Tom (giving him a place to live, internet connection and etcetera) because he is/was himself a SOG and wanted to give his son to sacrifice. And someone (sister, stepmother) is trying to help him.


What, obsessed, me? Never!

I got an email from Tom a couple of days ago, and he said he was working on an entry about "the thing with his dad."

He also mentioned that he wasn't feeling well again, and that was the reason for the delay.

Tom said that he was writing back to me, but he hasn't done anything lately.

I expect something big is probably coming up!

I emailed him just now. I bought a painting from him and I haven't seen it yet, so I just asked if he'd gotten to mail it yet. :\

We'll see if he gets back to me.
