[@1a2b3f : OMG YES IT'S BEEN SO LONG man this new contestant man it's just so NEW i can't WAIT]

Okay. Puzzles. I got this.

Pick up block, and smash door with it.

eat block

Feed the hole with the block.

>>462316
Put block in hole.

Putting the block in the block shaped hole is the obvious action, which means it should be viewed with suspicion.

Pick the block up and examine it for markings. Look in the hole for markings as well. It may have to be lined up correctly to work.

[@fcc0df : I must have seen the same damn puzzle at the start of every new run of this damn show. We're sick of it, guys! Come up with something new! A pressure pad, or a lever, or *something!*]

[@cf5521 : does anyone know what happened to wesley i think he won last time or maybe it was a she i couldn't tell under all the clothes]

>>462332
It's a thing. Take the thing.

Er, can you use that? Try biting it.

>>462332
Looks like something with a power button symbol on it. Press it.

PINK THING TO MOUTH GO

>>462332
Well you've done mucked this up. Maybe if you run into the door enough times the game will feel sorry for you and let you through anyway.

Green means go. Press Green Buttan.

>>462345
Pink?
>>462355
Green?

I see nothing but grey!

APPLY FACE TO HOLE.

[@cc6bd1 : this moth is pretty]

[@e68dce : wut th hell r u tlkn abut i c no moth]

[@a25ae5 : Probably sent to the wrong address. Maybe. I want to see the moth. Where did you find the moth?]

[@cc6bd1 : uhhh on this show? god are you blind or something]

[@a25ae5 : Maybe if I squint really hard, but that sure is a creative interpretation you have going there.]

Ok, that's enough of that, you silly. Start trying to climb up that and you might be out of this room by the end of the day.

>>462450
I guess you could try to climb them? Ask first.

>>462449
try pushing another button

Can you communicate with the snake at all through the viewscreen?

Ask the red thing what it is. Hide the block behind your back! I think it wants to take it from you!

[@b938db : I don't see anything. Is there a problem with my signal? All I see is static. What's going on?]

[@4e7c1a : THIS SHOW SUCKS I HATE IT ALSO I HATE TYPING MESSAGES LIKE THIS MORE WORDS KEEP SHOWING UP I HATE IT STOP IT]

Tell the snake that you are his fairy godfather. Notify him that something is coming out from under the door to his room. Advise that it check what is at the top of the ladder.

Respond positively to the voice and then climb up out of the room.

The hell's going on? That thing looks dangerous. Maybe try pushing it into the door?

Try to seduce it.

>>462498
Red thing? What red thing? The block is in the wall, too. What's going on? Are we seeing DIFFERENT things?

>>462547
Oh hey the door's open. Go on through.

[@5c274c : Is it just me, or is everything very orange tonight?]

>>462586
This is very strange. Go on through, Phil.

is that a pocket pussy? insert your key in it.

Quick! He's low enough now! Grab on and threaten to bite him unless he takes you up!

Look longingly at your benefactor and ask what he wants you to do next. Try to make yourself look cute.

Use soothing words and possibly hugs to fix everything ever.

Tell Green Snake to carefully check what is through the hole.
Also ask if it can speak.

[@5c274c : Uh oh. That doesn't look good.]

[@###### : hello? can anyone read this? is anyone out there? still have my phone]

[@5c274c : Uh, hi. What's up?]

[@###### : i'm in a red room with a box and a hole and a door. what am i supposed to do? who put me here? i want to go home]

[@5c274c : Unbelievable. More crank callers. Every time the show's up and running!]

[@9d3164 : just ignore them, dude. someone bored and with no life, probably.]

Go and get the cube fragments and use them to hammer on the hatch.

Tell Green you are being pinged and well get back to him shortly. Press Black Buttan.

>>462656
Uh. Try seeing if the pink swirly thing can talk, Phil. Or maybe you could try poking it? I can't tell if it's made of tentacles or if that's a light effect.

It sounds like there are other instances of this place, in different colors. Maybe we can travel between them... it kindof looks like a portal? Maybe it's a portal to the pink zone.

Hey @###### just put the box in the hole. A pillar should pop up with some weird thing on it. I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with it, but my grey guy just threw it through the door and nothing bad seems to have happened. The item's gone now though. Maybe that was a bad idea.

You're here to chew gum and rape and you're all out of gum.

Newsflash everybody! We got some digital voodoo going on here! We're not all seeing the same thing. Start running this thread through different proxies, and you get a different set of images. Clever.

We're not looking at one quest, but several run in parallel. We may need a dis thread to start compiling and comparing angles. At the very least, to figure out how many protagonists we actually have.

>>462681
But that takes the fun out of doing a blind multi-quest! Besides, we can infer some stuff from the other suggestions.

>>462681
Yeah, that's a silly plan that takes out the fun. Plus, I'm loyal only to my own.

At the very least, people should address their contestants by name, so we can better tell who's doing what.

And I see no reason we can't have all the various colored people cooperate and overpower whatever system they're trapped in.

...and I can't really stay loyal to one. Even without proxies, my ID never stays stable for more than a few days, tops. I'll be making the rounds with these characters, and I won't be the only one.

>>462666
Well, I guess we failed to seduce him, and we've got him down here, but I think we should be thinking about climbing him to safety.

>>462688
So basically, me and the other Hatle suggesters are suggesting for other suggesters by in-quest proxy or something.

Guess that's the Leadership thing.

just stand there and enjoy the colors.

Jump REALLY high. I need to know if you can.

Newton, examine the roof, are there any handholds or other objects that can climbed on to? If not, shout into the pink... area, and walk through where the door was, mind your head.

[@###### : i put box in the hole floor opening help]

[@36e602 : That's what you get for cheating!]

[@echo.phi : AUTOMATED ANNOUNCEMENT: Collapses detected. Second phase begins.]

What has our hubris done? Well, it looks like it's too late to do this peacefully. Swing up on his back and bite him hard.

All right, then. Hmm. This is bad. How are we going to get out now? Uh, can you roll fast enough to ram open the door, or are you too squishy to be any good at that? Ask the white voice if it has any kind of way to open a door in your room.

Magenta, with frills? Phil, that's another contestant. Named Newton, most likely. Pity about the language barrier, but we should be able to communicate across our side of things.

@######: Your options are to either avoid going down or find a way to go down safely. Without any further information about your environment, your abilities, or your physical form, I cannot help much.

White: Tell Purple and Black to chill out for a second. Ask Black to back up so you can get a better view of the room. You are their overseer, and you have a mission for them.

Shark: Ask why he can't just generate a new hat like he did those ropes. Then bite him if he launches into an angry rant.

Echo Phi apologises for the inconvenience.

Thanks for watching.

Well drat. Looks like Phil lost, for some unknown reason. I'm assuming Newton lost as well since they're in the same situation. Which is to say, not killing eachother.

Hey, who won in this round, guys? Please give a synopsis of what you guided your contestant to do.

For me, Phil started in a room with a box-shaped hole in the wall, a cube on the ground, and a locked door opposite the hole. Putting the cube in the hole resulted in a pillar rising out of the floor with an object on top of it. The object looked like... an ice cream cone with a line on the rounded end. Taking the object opened the door. Phil then threw the object out of the door, and the object disappeared. It sounds like a different contestant got it. The "pocket pussy", I'm guessing. Elephant Guy, what happened when the key was inserted?

Next, Phil left the room, and Newton appeared in a swirl of light. They seem to speak different languages, as I was unable to tell what Newton was saying. The last thing I saw is them shaking hands.

Moth managed to win. It was definitely my favorite character. It twisted the cube until it solved it and put the cube into the hole, which opened a hatch at the top of the room and managed to fly out. From there it crawled through the tube as a shortcut to the finish.

>>463045
Ildorf put the cube in the wall and got buttons to observe and talk to other contestants.

I'm guessing Torus was the one who ate his cube.

Magic buttons! 1 2 3 4 5 6

>>463053
>>463047
So was anyone suggesting for Moth or can nobody suggest for the next round?

>>463061
Nobody was suggesting for Moth. None of our six contestants won.

An interesting game mechanic, totally wasted on a mean jerk of a quest author.
