I'm glad you liked this one in particular, Max, because I had a lot more input into the second version than I usually do when betatesting. I re-wrote most of the notes and clues to improve the English and actually made a few of them up myself, which is a first for me. We all worked very hard to make sure it was easier to figure out the puzzles, but not TOO easy, and to make it more "sneak friendly" than the original version. (If you want to know where the objects to complete the "Optional Objetives" are, just drop me an e-mail and I'll fill you in. I am currently alphatesting the next mission, called Lord Alan's Fortress and if you liked Basement, well, you ain't seen nothing yet! :-) Nightwalker "Max" <Third...@Large.net> wrote in message news:3D769E07.D61BD89A@Large.net... > The Three Missions expounded apon in this particular lumbering > waltz-limp are as follows: > > Snatch And Grab - Old Comrades, Old Debts - Lord Alan's Basement > (again in three parts for easy consumption) > > > 3 -> Lord Alan's Basement (AKA Basement2) > By Andrea Aleotti > > The Macroscope: > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > A "Basement" - Bigger - more complex - more beautiful and MUCH > more to offer than most maps. > > > The Blow-By-Blow: > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Hey, a basement is just a basement, right?? - *BUZZZ* - Wrong. - A > misleading title for an immensely variant and colorful map.
