There was an update to the webpage. All the "hidden" pages seem to be gone now, and they have (in my opinion at least) a very generic layout. They've added some of our submissions to the page though, so that's neat.

I'm really hoping something happens soon, and I'm hoping that they will give us more to do. I'm feeling underwhelmed by the lack of interaction so far.


REALLY?

I love the pace of this game. Perhaps you should try one of the bigger games such as blackhollow or writer? they are more interactive...

I enjoy the pace of this game, its not rushed its not forced and in general its a joy to play. Fits into my schedule and Im not sure about anyone else but I always feel interacted with...

Perhaps just sit back and enjoy the ride...take in the story.. let the game come to you ... or play a faster paced one Razz Wink Laughing

New blog post: http://moorpond.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/puzzled.html

Mi can represent the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet, if that's any use...

Interesting thing about ravens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_paradox#The_red_herring

who is Mi Raven


Idk how significant this could be ( I've only started lurking here), but Mi Raven is an anagram of Minerva.... fitting with the classical theme.

I for one dislike the posting style. The "cliffhanger" theme she has been using feels like the posts came from the PM as rewards rather than an IG character.
Also, i thought mu was the greek word, not mi?

You are quite correct, it is sometimes represented as Mi, which is why I said can represent.

PM is clearly hearing our calls for 'something to do' and has now given us direction - I know I had missed the subtle nudges we had been given...

Lets try and chill out a little yeah?

I like the posting style and think its great... maybe its like the latin says...

learn or leave... (well done on who got the translation)

but yeah It's not a posting style contest so lets all just not start throwing mud at a pm who is doing this for our entertainment... and im sure not just her own enjoyment.. im pretty sure shes also not getting paid to do this so yeah lets not throw stones..

moving on...

i will be submitting my answers and i do hope i get a nice cooshy position on the board somewhere LOL

waves to welcome happy phantom to the game! hiiiiii Smile nice to be on board with the usual suspects Razz

You're right jocaypa, Mu is the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet and "In Modern Greek, the letter is pronounced [mi]" (uncapitalised) Source.

Welcome HP & Beaut anagram! Maybe Moorpond's "Cori Fisherman: Cross-Realm Coordinator" represents Kore (aka Core,Persephone) of the worlds' crossing legend?

ETA: Caught up now. So *fingers crossed* for mrshomersimpson, Kira 1000 & other applicants. OT-HP, really hoping to see one of your artworks in the submissions. Very Happy
Whew! When it rains...another email ending with "Delphinum natare doces.". Translates: You are teaching a dolphin to swim. (haha meaning you are wasting your time)

I just submitted a student application for my "daughter" *fingers crossed* though my stupid dyslexia acted up and I completely missed answering one question. I updated it with a follow up including the one question I missed.

Edit: I should say, I'm not uptight about the ARG, I was just underwhelmed. I really like the story, and I'm excited to have gotten into this right from the beginning. I haven't joined any of the "bigger" ones because I have a hard time catching up with them. It seems the pace is picking up a bit now, which is good.

I am eager to see where this goes.

Awesome mythos art submission, krystalinn & *fingers crossed* for you as well as those applying "for two teachers and two curriculum specialists" in the latest email.
