I give up. Can't make it work.

Same. This is the first time I've been able to see any pages all day.

Goals for 2020
Finish, or at least make a solid dent in my diploma.
Get my board game playtested and maybe even contact a few publishers about it.

Be a great dad.

Is this some kind of ARG?

Let's solve the puzzle of the numbers. Is it related to TIMESTAMPS at all? 

It's not intended as bait. The initial purpose of this thread was to invite predictions about what a Trump presidency might mean. The latest development seemed like a good milestone in his tenure to assess where things stand - where we stand.

So, Trump has officially been impeached, which will please a lot of people in this thread and displease others. The chances of him actually being removed from office are almost zero, but he'll always have that official stain on his legacy, whatever happens next.

How are we all feeling about the president now? Do we love/hate him more/less than we did three years ago? Are things as bad or worse than we thought they would be? Or are they better?

Will Trump win a 2nd term (assuming he isn't removed)? And if so, what does that mean for America and the world? And if not, do you think he will stand down humbly or refuse to leave and claim squatters rights in the White House?

Do we all agree that the 5-2-5-3 pattern no longer applies after the word ‘timestamps'?

It's not your internet Fernewelten. It's this gadfirsaken website 

I've been trying to post but everyone's beaten me to it. Anyway. Congratulations and keep an eye on your inbox for details about choosing a topic for January :-)

Welcome back Snake. Has it really been that long? Damn.

Hope to see you around a bit more. This place is still a daily visit for me but I don't post anywhere near as much as I once did.

LETGO?

Haha!

I doubt that Mandle would require someone to own a copy of a movie to solve a puzzle, this would be really unfair. I think the puzzle is solvable with only information that is publicly available (at least I hope so, otherwise I would be really pissed off)

I guess so, and Mandle's already proved you right. But then again a lot of codes require a specific book or text in order to crack them. So I sort of like the idea of needing a DVD or access to a certain film in order to solve a puzzle (even though it does alienate those of us who don't have access)

oh dayum. Good work. Does anyone have the Frozen DVD or Disney+ to check what's in the screen at 25:35

I'm none the wiser.

40 rooms is ambitious. The thing is, 5 choices sounds quite small but if you have a different result for each choice that's a minimum of 32 different paths. The best way to make that manageable in a month, I think, is to keep them dialogue- or item-based rather than room-based. Change things around in other meaningful ways rather than necessarily creating a whole new scene for each choice.

Apologies if this has been brought up already but I've just noticed we can no longer do nested spoiler/hide tags.

[BICEP]

No idea but is it some kind of Dingbats style clue?

Spoiler

Like it's the word FROZEN in a big string of letters and numbers so...

BICEP

As it is the word ICE (frozen) in a bunch of string (muscle is basically made up of fibres, which is kind of like string -- I'm not a biologist)

I'm pretty sure it's not that, but is it that kind of puzzle?

Sorry for the delay. I've been on cloud 9 looking after my newborn baby, but now there is a break in the cloud and I have enough time to take my head out of the clouds and set up the voting for November's cloudpetition.

Please vote using the poll above.

	Night Witches: Women of the clouds by Slasher

How did you do sales wise?
I almost forgot but I bought one a couple of days from the deadline.

Extension granted. 48 hours sound good?
I haven't got much time now to do all the fiddly bits anyway.

Thanks for the entries so far. You may spend the extension period tweaking to your heart's content.
