Power of Pecota has moved into the EAST Room! The room was NOT TRAPPED

The town had just witnessed a grisly death. A horrible, needless death. "Hey, you know, maybe these numbers mean something?" One person said. Another took his shoe off, and thought about throwing it into a room. That person was not Power of Pecota.

"I'm a gamblin' man, and BLACK is the way to go. Last one in is a rotten egg!" PoP screamed, diving through the doorway.

Everyone held their breath as Power of Pecota dusted him/herself off, walking up to the obelisk. It just hummed quietly. Nothing at all happened. Everyone let out a sigh of relief as Power of Pecota walked back into the room with everyone in it.

"Just gotta go with them feels" PoP said.

Do you honestly think people care about you or the things you've done?

Also just finished rewatching cube zero cos I thought I hadn't watched it already but I was wrong, It is the second best movie in the series cos hypercube was pretty lame. I also watched south bound, which is pretty good.

Are you comforted by a tight-knit group of family and friends that support you? Even if it's just one person?

If so, I resent you for that.

With 24 alive, it takes 13 votes to chuck someone into a room

There is no one currently voting

There are :siren:

days until escape

There are :siren:

shoes left to be thrown

the OP has been edited for a few clarifications. If something is not meant to be known by the town, I won't answer questions to it. It's a very complicated game, please bear with me

If digital sums are part of the answer I feel like there's something to take from the fact that the down room has two 14s while none of the other rooms have repeats.

Also if you do digital sums of digital sums:

North 22 : 10 12 23 - > 1 3 5
South (trapped) 7: 15 14 16 -> 6 5 7
East (safe) 3: 12 14 19 -> 3 5 10
Down 1: 14 14 17 -> 5 5 8

West: 15 11 19 -> 6 2 10
Up: 15 18 12 -> 6 9 3

If you count the panel number as first in the sequence, east and down both ascend with one repeat. 1-3-5 on North does look promising though. hrm

Does the thought of not existing appeal to you?

Everything you knew would be gone, but you would never feel sad or hurt anymore.

# ? Feb 14, 2016 23:41

Power of Pecota: Aug 4, 2007; Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

I'll tinker around later, but especially since half of the viable true path rooms have been tested already I think we should definitely test both North and Down (with shoes or people, either way) before the end of the day, Having four independent safe/trapped results would be pretty huge for testing theories against.

Another thing: double repeating consonants (Snuffaluffagus, giraffe, caterpillar) stick out at me looking at the assorted nouns in each of the rooms. I thought vowel count might be part of it too but unless the only other trapped room is West I don't think that pans out.

I'm going to do some dumb poo poo trying to assign numerical value to each word letter by letter but I'm guessing the solution's probably more tangential to the things in the rooms, like taking something from their first letter or first vowel or middle letter in each word or something.

The descriptions of whatever is inside the room is just flavor. Ignore it please. It's just for interesting deaths if the room is trapped.

It's funny how things like holidays and birthdays were once joyous events, and now they're just affirmations of how miserable your life has become.

friendly reminder, please send me a message before you do something dumb. I'm not always around.

tithin has moved NORTH. It was a TRAP.

tithin, Vanilla Town, has moved North into a trap Day 1!

"Well, I mean I guess these panels mean something. Maybe we should figure out what they mean? I mean there has to be something that will help us survive," Some people of the group said. Alot of people had their fingers and hands on their chins, scratching aimlessly.

"Have you guys tried going into the rooms yet? That might work," Said tithin, eagerly jumping into the room with Snuffaluffagus.

Big bird's imaginary friend moved closer as tithin came to pet his long snout. It worked for a time. But Snuffaluffagus was imaginary, and the RED DRAGON that he turned into was not. With a quick yelp from tithin, he was quickly gobbled up by the enormous beast.

The Red Dragon turned back into Snuffaluffagus. You are not sure if you imagined what had happened or not. Tithin was gone though, and that was reality.
