Not as good as SemiNative's time but still ok for me - (old and directionally challenged!! - actually, mostly just old) and huge thanks to Wingy's jumping hint!!!).

Freddy you still haven't answered my question! Angry

On the previous boards we had a pretty good system to cover hints. With YELLOW text. Members who wanted to read, only needed to highlight them. And, when others didn't want to see their playingfun spoiled by accident, they could continue with the main text.

Since the new boards are not so far yet, the

Whisky Bar

is probably a good moment to ask everybody to take care a little bit with hints in general. When members ask for hints (e.g. Jennerific about ACO) it is not easy to answer them, without exposing "everything" to the whole world. The same happened more or less in an other way with the eureka-feeling here about beating this tiny mansion. My

Whisky Bar

is soooo small that, in a matter of fact it only contains two pieces: a "shocking" novelty which is maybe based on a game-bug and an other nice unseen feature. All the rest is Jack walking around, pulling levers and opening coloured doors with keys that he found together with moneybags.

My personal opinion, Wingy, is that it wasn't your best idea to tell about the jump, especially since nobody had asked for a hint yet. The mansion is that small that your remark did reduce the playing-"frustrating"-fun from aprox. 10 to aprox 3 minutes. Please keep in mind that, after your very nice and clever beating of this mansion, still a lot of people need to start with it. And want to have their fun as well.

That brings me finally to your question, that while being only a ... question, now also spoils the second new piece in the

Whisky Bar

. (What was the reason that I did reduce the text-size. Something I didn't like to do, btw.) How on earth can I answer it? It is much too early now. Please give other players first the chance to solve this puzzle.

Meanwhile I am waiting for response from Vern about this issue. Depending from his answer, their may be three possibilities:
1° the mansion stays listed;
2° the mansion, including this topic, got moved to Free Up- & Downloading;
3° the mansion got removed completely.
That last one is the only solution when Vern should fix the game in a way that the mansion wouldn't work any more.

Conclusion, Wingy: Lips Sealed

till I know more from Vern.

And try to see it this way. When a player knows in advance what the two clues are, then they will finish this mansion in 52 seconds. Which is really possible! But what fun is that? Roll Eyes

I don't know how hard it would be to add it to the forums, but it's pretty common. The text inside the spoiler tags shows up as a blank box, and when you highlight the box, the text inside appears.
