They got to be a little troublesome logistically, so we are trying to lower their use a bit this year.<br /><br />(At least that is the rumor I heard...)

<br /><br />well this makes perfect sense to me. it translates into...."we all meet at henwy's house and dig up his yard with our rented shovels." =D

An angry older chinese couple coming after you with various cooking implements is not a sight designed to make one complacent. The kitchen is my domain, so all you pregnant and bare-foot women can go sit on the couch with your feet up and watch tv or read a book.

Every year I used one minor and one major rumour because I always had so many. They've yet to help and in a couple cases they led to longer times in certain rooms due to mis-interpretation or outright mis-leading. On the other hand, they are fun. If I still have extras when I get there this year, I don't know if I'll use'em since I've not found the rumours useful at all.

I think I burned around 15 of them last year, just to make sure I got a copy of every one that was available. None of the info turned out to be helpful in the end and some of the red herrings turned out to be especially obnoxious.

fnordchaos Offline Posts: 2383	I think we used about 12 of them on my run last year (yes, just one...).<br />A couple of the rumors were very obscure, but I seem to recall that a couple of them actually made me think about how to solve the puzzles... didn't one of them mention the whole mother's ring thing for the wraith room?
