    Oh no!!!

    I guess I'm always up for this again. I remember being absolutely no help last time (in fact, I remember my other, locked username being a red herring, apparently) but I am older and wiser now.

    I will contribute that the statue shown upon clicking the right-hand page tab is the Rape of Polyxena at the Loggia dei Lanzi. Wasn't that a clue to another game, a long time ago?

    i ran a search for Babbage, father of the computer apparently, he invented the first programmable machine. a clue as to how to play in that i suspect.

    i ran a search on the site and it only threw up two posts, the one above and the post by drlau here which is weird in itself, don't you think.

    i've had another thought that might be worth keeping in my, or not.

    the dog ear corners that fold down at the top of the page are weird, the rectangles on the left side look like they are proportional to the golden ratio. the one on the right looks all atommy and ringy, i wonder if there's some significance to them.

    This should be fun!

That, in its essence, is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." Franklin D. Roosevelt

    So I am looking and I visit the page, but all I get is a password thing.

    I need help!

    twilight, where are you going that you get a "password thing"? What you want to do is click on the "event I" and "event II" threads in the FTR sub-forum,(the one that opens when you click on the left flap at the top of the screen) it's fairly self explanitory from there and you can look in the "event II thread" thread to see what progress others have made so far. If you need anything else, feel free to ask.

    No, I see it too, Pdoke. When you click the right-hand dogear, and click the original picture of Polyxena, you get a second picture with the text "Prepare Yourself!" Clicking that gets you a sign-in screen.

    Good find, Twilight! Although now we have to figure out the username and password!
