Sp3000

9. Game by the creators of Myst and Riven, or "kidnapping" with a letter changed

Well, saying 'they are dead' would be pretty obvious, right?

I mean, they'd obviously be dead... probably

Eric Tressler

Wen1now

16: objective? objecting?

Sid

(Also, did everyone lose their stars?)

Eric Tressler

Sid

16. Still no

Wen1now

4:13 AM

Time for a facepalm. Pass 16

Eric Tressler

Last night I was able to star things, but not unstar them, so now I'm hesitant to do that
