I'm still not sure where to go with Flower in general, but I tried the following:

| Response: WHO? O I REMEMBER THAT NAME. I THINK HE WENT ON HOLIDAY.


Huh... Sid sounds like a child in Forecast15. I think this lends credence to the possibility of the conflicting Sid storylines causing the universe to warp a bit.

[i][edit - spoiler tags are for puzzle solves or hidden stuff found on ingame websites that other players may want to find themselves. Spoiler tag with no supporting description are pointless. Cause we don't know if we want to see or not. Spoiler tag removed. kona][i]

It's good that we are getting more clear details of the surroundings and situation before submitting instructions. We don't want a mishap, though perhaps we should tell him to reset the temp controls so we know we are starting back at a clean slate.

I think that is a good idea. And for now it seems that non of the instructions fits the current state of the so called box he his in.

I have been thinking about what it says on the piano link. It says: "Follow in order" at the beginning of each instruction list and mentions the word "cycle". It just makes me even more confused.

Minor observation
The AMNA-A link on the Listening page hasn't changed, but clicking on it forwards to http://streaming.radionomy.com/RadioHaydn . Looking at the recent playlist for the station, it lists only one song on repeat, Florence + The Machine - Ship To Wreck (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9v8jLBrvug) however, again this isn't what is actually playing, it is still RadioHaydn.

Yellow light would indicate to flick switch 5 - furthest to the right.
(only one switch should be touched and this is the first one so disregard the lx)
If there is no steam then no other temperature conditions are met so thermostat should be set to 278.
The sound might take some more questions. He says it is quiet, "beeping" and doesn't sound like his piano at home. This could mean it sounds like another instrument or we may need to find how many times it beeps in a "cycle." Without that information we could go with D3. We should also verify the number of keys on the piano in case his does not match the picture. Not all pianos have the same number of keys. If he says he has a piano at home he should know where D is on the keyboard and we just need to make sure he knows which octave. (In theory Smile)
I don't seem to be able to get any responses to my emails so I can't send this in but I hope this will help someone else.

Changes to /piano

Sections at the bottom are randomly italicized to spell: logfile

It looks to be a running log of the email correspondances with Sid. Still I'd suggest we keep back up copies posted as people receive them here.

I'm not sure. Do you know anything about the man you think is behind the wall?
Also I want you to flick the 5th switch from the left. Since you own a piano do
you know the layout? If so I need you to press F#4. Last thing, have you seen
any steam vents anywhere?

I stopped recording from Radionomy today. The station says it's playing Florence & The Machine, but I ended up with a 5gb file of Haydn. Endzo noticed a few days ago that the AMNA-A station redirects to RadioHaydn and I haven't been able to reconnect to anything resembling AMNA-A.

If anyone happens to notice AMNA-A broadcasting the typical Ascensionism content, let me know so I can start recording again.

Anyway, nice work on /piano, everyone! I wonder if the recent unsolved tweets are just meant to throw off the people that admin doesn't want involved.

Update actually from a few days ago.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Me: It's the 4th f sharp from the left. Is the light still yellow?
I need you to tell me which vents have steam coming out. think of them like a grid and number them from left to right through each row.
Remember to tell me anything at all even if you don't think it's useful.

Sid: yes the lights still yellow
i pushed the f sharp 4 from left
it got quieter but its still tooting
was that the right one
the steams in the bottom corner
on the right
so number 4 in the row
is the man making tea up there

Anyone have any ideas? Like what I should ask or tell him to do?
