PLEASE READ EVERYTHING

Failure to do so will result in elimination

I told some of you this last night, but I've typed it all out so that everyone gets the message.

I'm apologizing now, this became a bit of a rant since I was really upset about it, still, please read it all. Don't skim because it seems like repetition.

Let's get some things straight

You don't know they are riddles

You don't know the riddles relate to the keys

You don't know some of you are hearing different things

You don't know your 'group' members since no one listened to me and met their neighbors, so making the relations of who heard what and who has which key is going to be harder. Next time when I hint at something quite a few times it might be in your best interest to listen XD.

you don't know the royals are gone yet, only guards who's job it is to watch the royals would realize all of them are gone, and they wouldn't be yelling it- and Guards, pm me to find out which royals you would notice the abesnse of.

Based on the above don'ts you obviously don't know that the riddles have anything to do with the royals.

Okay, lets look at the situation again, the lights just went out- so all you know when the candles flicker back to life is that the guards and servants are rounding you up, that Edgar- the head guard- is calling you all to the sanctuary.

Those of you that heard voices YOU DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE RIDDLES

You don't know it's talking of a locations and YOU DON'T KNOW THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO WITH THE ROYALS

Yes. I repeated myself, just trying to be clear.

Please stop being all knowing, you have no idea how long I spent working on this, I don't need all-knowing characters running about, all ready knowing exactly what needs to happen, skipping all the logical parts of getting there and jumping right into solving the riddle.

It's not fair. Not fair to those who are asleep while you do it because of time changes, not fair since your cutting half the selected out of challenge, not even bothering to let others have a chance cause you wanna figure it out and not fair to me who put hours into this and now your just running about jumping to the fun part because it's easy.

No. That's not how this works.

So calm down. Act as you would act. Don't be all knowing.

All you do know, is you heard a strange voice- would anyone in their right mind immediately try to memorize it? No. My goodness that is not your focus right now.

What you should be focused on is all the chaos around you, time to look back on creepy voices is later when your safe, and no. You probably won't get all the words right, maybe you'll switch some of them around? Maybe you'll insert random things that weren't actually there?

I award imperfection. It makes things logical and it makes things that much more fun.

That being said I despise perfection XD

Also, NO DISCUSSING THE RIDDLES OUT OF CHARACTER

It's an rp for a reason.

Another thing, this is a group challenge. I gave you keys for a reason but even that does not mean you can know exactly who's in what group. NO DISCUSSING KEYS OUT OF CHARACTER EITHER.

So you can not say (I'm key # 3)

No, do not do that, or I shall strangle you.

Why?

Because the only reason you know it has anything to do with the keys is because I told you.

SO PLEASE STOP

Seriously.

Unless your characters will need to do some serious analysis to connect the keys- espically since none of you met your key based neighbors! Your all dealing with strangers, who you know no relation of!

So I shouldn't be seeing any, "Hey! If you have a key with an ameythest stone in it- come over here!"

or, "Hey! What if it has to do with the keys?" Thanks Einstein. Your magical. I got that- could we go back to the logic now?

Remember, the keys were given to you by the Queen- not rebels.

For all your characters know, you all got the same key.

Or all different keys.

Not to mention that I told you your key number out of character, and described a picture

Because the thing is you DON'T KNOW until you make that connection, and it isn't one that you can just randomly think of.

Reasonable evidence of the Key Connection will be brought out LATER not now. So don't do it XD.

I'm seeing now that I did it wrong, I should've guessed that by listing the actual groups and things under the keys you would've done this because it is an automatic response- people don't usually bother to think, hey what do I know that my characters don't? Well. I'm stupid. Lesson has hopefully been learned, I know it's hard to think in character when you know more than your character does but please please try! It's really important!

This event is suppose to last a week, not four minutes.

All this being said, you may not move into separate chains based on keys until after we catch all your selected up to pace on what we know and we work out that some people are hearing separate things- I should see some arguing over what was said and what wasn't.

It should not immediately occur to anyone that different things were said to different people- os that logical? No. So don't be all knowing.

And I swear- do not solve these riddles without your group members, I don't mean you have to do it when everyone is online PM ME IF YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T BE

But do not just take the riddle and pick it apart because you have free time then come in and blurt your conclusions.

Did you rp all the steps you took to come to that conclusion? No.

Is it fun for the others when you just come in with your answer? No.

Hey! I'm really glad if your excited for this, and happy but seriously, how would you feel if you lived on the other side of the world from me, I posted this while you were asleep and a member in your group took the riddle, and had it solved before you were even given the chance? If you're reading this go to the first chapter and comment the letter q. You wake up only to find that your group finished it with out you.

Would you be happy?

Do I actually need to type out that answer?

I hope not.

So don't do it.

I feel like I just lashed out on you guys, and I'm sorry. I'm sure it's not everyone, but I'm saying to everyone, yall need to chill.

Me included, I've taken this farther then I mean't too.

When it comes down to it I'm happy if your enjoying this, heck. I love it. I love rping with you guys and seeing you work through all these stupid tasks and events and crap I've made.

So please excuse me when I say I want it done in a style that's not skipping the middle part,

I know I'm being picky about this, and I'm sorry for that. But I promise it'll be a lot more interesting to work through it then jump to it.

Thanks for reading this far! I'll know if you haven't XD

Also, to my lovely guards, I forget if I said this or not.

You don't believe the selected, talking nonsense about voices in their heads. They have to convince you, so feel free to argue with them, don't give in until they've pointed out some good points saying they're right. Talking about how 'they heard a voice' shouldn't convince you of anything
