I'll be number 4, that way I can see how people will do it.

You *can* survive the fall. Therein lies the trick. If it's too hard to figure out we can change it or axe it altogether...your call.

I also wouldn't be opposed to including a walkthrough, under the title "Do not open unless you're stuck".

Here's a hint, if you want it:
And the solution, if you give up (in ROT13; paste into rot13.com to decode): Lbh unir ab pubvpr ohg gb snyy gb lbhe qbbz ng svefg, ohg gura lbh jvyy erfcnja, synfuvat, va zvqnve. Whzc naq vzzrqvngryl cerff naq ubyq evtug, naq lbh jvyy ynaq fnsryl va gur arkg ebbz.

Ryos,

I found out in the meantime that there WAS a "survival possibility" after all, even before I read your post about it.

However, it's very hard !! Though I love the way it is constructed..... so maybe you could make it just a little bit easier.
Also I think it's dangerous to supply the money only AFTER the fall.... on the other hand, at this point in the game it's not too dramatic if the player has to restart. (Cause he will definitely lose ALL his lives before he has a chance to find out how to survive    ).

Besides, I still feel one or two "introductory rooms" might be very helpful, storywise.

What do you think ?

Apart from that, I have started constructing a successor-room to your last room.... but I wait with finishing that, until I have your def. version.  Are you in the mood to build a few introductory rooms (before your "fall rooms"), or do you want me to do them ?

Yes that's right.
You can apply to be 3rd or 5th in line....but of course you can also be 6th or 7th etc.

I'm using ROT13 here because I don't want to potentially spoil things for this mansion's primary audience: the people that read these boards!

...Or, maybe the whole concept is unsalvageable and just shouldn't be used. I'd like to hear more opinions on this.

Oh, and also, I could redo the sign text, which I wrote in a hurry and am not all that happy with.
