Say, if anyone understands the programming language Geneforge uses(I know Java, but thats all) then you could see if anything is actually programmed to be behind that door.

However, there is obviously something behind the door, inasmuch as GF3 has to based on it (or else Jeff will see hell from all of his customers after its release). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Silver Shadow Warrior Member # 3746	written Sunday, July 18 2004 10:06 Profile #80 Ah, but which one is it? The Lady, or the Tiger? Posts: 153 \| Registered: Tuesday, December 2 2003 08:00
bogus standard candidate Infiltrator Member # 4592	written Sunday, July 18 2004 11:29 Profile #81 Ah, Silver Shadow, that would be telling. But if telling it would be, then so be it told. The Lady is behind that door on the odd days of the week, while the Tiger tends to prefer the even ones. However, this routine only takes place during the months when the last day is even, when it is odd, the routine alters slightly. During those months, which I'll call Odd Months, they both need to knock on the door before entering to ensure that it is not occupied. The Tiger prefers to stay inside on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as those are the days when the serviles tend to gather together in their towns to connive and discuss their future. Thus, few wander outside their villages for his prowling pleasures. But on the Second Tuesday of every Odd Month, as well as on the Fourth Thursday a few serviles are forced to scavenge around town for food, or simply to do other menial tasks. On those days, the Tiger TENDS to be prowling, so the door is free for the Lady to enter. The possibility of the serviles doing these on the afore-mentioned dates depend on the date in question. Due to an error in a Shaper experiment when those days are prime, a series of Randomized Events of Unspecified Yet Overltly Nasty Consequence tend to happen in the oustkirts of servile villages. This may be anything from a rogue creation, to a group of adventurers out to do some senseless killing to even that ever so mysterious and exquisitively random message from above System Error. Since those events are impossible to predict, the Tiger sometimes goes out, sometime he does not, sometimes he comes and goes through a short cut that allows him to return to the door before the Lady comes. This makes it difficult to elucidate who may be inside at the time. The Lady prefers Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Those days are best for her since they show the highest amount of Gentlemen (and Gentlewomen) callers who bored her ever so with their most of the times pathetic attentions. However, this is not always thus. The Lady, being a smart and practical Lady as she is, does not shun from any potential suitor, and the only reason she has not contracted the Eternal Bows Of Servitude is because she hasn't been asked by the right one. The possibility of this person is a certainty in her mind. A number of years ago she had a vision (its nature and how it came to be would be too long to elaborate in full detail here. Check out that and other adventures of the Lady in the unfortunately incomplete, "Adventures of the Lady in Godeland.") which showed her the person of her dreams (neither man nor woman, but a mutant transexual lororithm) This person was going to come to her on a Wednesday. The Wednesday would be a multiple of three. On those days, the Lady stays home and doesn't visit the door. The Tiger, though, doesn't know this. He has stumbled upon the empty room from time to time, but since he never passed simple algebra in his ferocious feline school, he hasn't realized the connection. So, on those special Wednesdays there may be a Tiger, or, AGHAST, the door may lead to empty room. Or one with a transient adventure who is tired of killing pixels and making decisions and is just eating a well derserved ripe apple (a macintosh, too.) (gotta go, so Weekends will have to wait for another day (if anyone knows what happens on those days, please!)) A final note, though. A very brilliant Shaper named Jaisonberg once tried to solve this mystery. Alas, brilliant as he was he could do nothing. But in a bit of a rash attack of nefarious mischeviousness he cursed the door. (a la if I can't know this no one will kind of nefarious mischeviousness) The curse is a simple yet devastating one. It works something like this: At any given moment the Lady or the Tiger may be beyond the door. However, the mere act of opening the door alters this fact. Oh well. -------------------- quote: "I suffer from spiritual malaise," said Cugel meaningfully. "which manifest itself in outburst of vicious rage.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, July 18 2004 12:15 Profile Homepage #82 Somewhere about halfway through that post, I thought to myself, "What's really behind that door is the superposition of the wave functions of the possibility of the Lady being there and the possibility of the Tiger being there." :P EDIT: BSC, do you RP?

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, July 19 2004 11:29 Profile Homepage #84 I meant like the Valley of Thunder thing. I guess you'll just have to wait for the next one to come 'round -- Valley of Thunder looks like it's a pretty successful one, so you may have to wait a month or so, though. I was going to make some flailings in the direction of making this post on-topic, but then I thought, why? -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
