Topic: Can you Escape?

[Grimfang]

The boxes do nothing.
With the door closed, you press the red button labeled LOCK
There is a click, then the sound of gas being let out of a rubber seal, the door seals airtight, and the room begins to pressurize with CO2.

If you do not hold your breath the Gas will suffocate you before the room pressurizes
TIME UNTIL CO2 WILL SUFFOCATE YOU: .2

[Talon Undecided]

(If I hold my breath, how long would I have?)

I hold my breath... and sit down.

[Grimfang]

As you hold your breath you can feel the effects of the oxygen  deprivation. After about 20 seconds the rooms fills with gas. Suddenly the vents stop. The room has pressurized enough to stop the internal vent backfill sensor. The vents shut off (they will not turn back on)
From somewhere in the room
Chlick clak....
Trivia: This rooms real-time playtesters finish on average in 6.5 mins

[Talon Undecided]

I stand up, lean against the front wall (the one with the sign), and push as hard as I can.

[Grimfang]

The wall gives, and though heavy, slides back along the floor, you keep pushing and it keeps moving until a space in the floor appears.
now what?

[premetheus]

Im confused did someone not post ages ago that they wanted to shut the door?

Examine the space in the floor,

[Balthraka]

Im confused did someone not post ages ago that they wanted to shut the door?

Exactly what I thought!
I am sure someone said it way back at the start!

HERE IT IS!

Upon reflection and a nagging inner voice that sounds much like a GM, I decide to close the door to stage III.
( I am sure, and if I die, well.... it was fun anyhow.)

Thats why everyone gave up on that idea... Haha.


Anywho...
Drop down the space if possible.

[taupro777]

I examine the space in the floor, taking shallow, soft breaths, and go back to the boxes in the door, examining them too... maybe they are open now...

[Talon Undecided]

Exactly what I thought!
I am sure someone said it way back at the start!

That's because you guys didn't lock the door. 

I jump down the space as well.

Err well that would have been impossible as shutting the door revealed the red button TO lock the door.... that we had previously been unaware of.

(by the way we aint be-atching just pointing stuff out.)

[argos5]

While everyone is jumping down the space, I look down the space. Because I really don't want to be minced-up not knowing wtf I'm jumping into.

[Firelord.]

I second argos.

And yes, about the second thing someone did was closing the door.

Anyways, i stare down into......?

[Balthraka]

Yeah...
I was gonna look first...

But no-one has died yet in this game...
I want at least some recognition even if it is the first to lose...
Haha.

I examine the space.

I Apologize for the delay in posting, I have not had access to my images and the passageway in Stage IV is a picture.
I Choose what say in my responses very carefully, if I am not mistaken, 
here is the following turn of events that lead to this confusion.

• I Repeatedly make it clear that the entrance to Stage IV is open
  

  Behind you, through the opened door the platform creaks.
  
  You ARE NOT locked in.
• SkullyChaos attempts to jump from the door to Stage IV to the glass platform of Stage III

  Upon reflection and a nagging inner voice that sounds much like a GM, I decide to close the door to stage III.
  ( I am sure, and if I die, well.... it was fun anyhow.)

  he makes it to the floor, but has since not posted. Had he closed to the door to Stage III it would have no effect on Stage IV anyways. SkullyChaos is currently in Stage III
• Argos5 Posts that that he wishes to stand on the small ledge in Stage III and close the entrance to Stage IV in order to pressurize the room.
  

  I stand at the edge of the doorway into Stage 3 and close the door of sealing me out of Stage 4. CO2 is a propellant under pressure. So I'm going to see what happens when it pressurizes.
  
  ADD: My idea is that the wall with CO2 moves under pressure... or something moves in that room.

  
  The room however does not pressurize as the room must be sealed from the inside (by pressing the lock button).
  Seeing that the room did not pressurize the majority of players are misdirected and assume  that the room will not pressurize or that closing the door is not the solution.
• I reply to an inquiry stating that closing the door alone, will not pressurize the room

  unfortunately, the room won't pressurise by blocking the vents, or even only closing the door
  (good idea though)

  (if you feel this is misdirection on my part I'm sorry, but I cannot reveal more than whats asked)
• Firelord posts a statement saying that closing the door is unlikely as a solution
  

  Hmmmm.
  
  It isn't closing the door, that has been tested.

  This again misdirects players as to the actual solution of the room (this is of course no fault of Firelords as he was only stating what he knew at the time)

Immediately following Firelords post Arrgos5, in a fit of rage and panic  Closes the door to Stage IV revealing the locking mechanism



If I'm not mistaken the aforementioned posts show that I the GM am not at fault for misdirecting anyone or causing unnecessary worry on anyone's part.
I know your not "be-atching" your just pointing out something that you thought  was unfair or that i might have over looked, and I am pointing out what I believe to be evidence that it is fellow player misdirection and not my ignorance.

[SkullyChaos]

Sorry I apparently caused confusion, Ive been away at work. Thought I was going to die.

[Grimfang]

Sliding the wall along the floor you push and shove until it reveals this

A short set of steps and metal double doors

Ummm Bad News SkullyChaos......

Standing on the glass platform in Stage III, You look around, the door into Stage IV is open and you can hear the hiss of the vents.
The platform creaks and tilts beneath you,

and looking down you see the metal pyramid counterweight laying amoungst the spikes some distance below.

You have no way now to re-tilt the platform and escape Stage III,

The air is heavy around you....
and soon you are feeling weary....
eventualy you close your eyes,

...and never wake up....

[Rudkin]

I'll join in on the fun. Why not?

I go down the steps and examine the "button" (the yellow circle beside what appears to be an elevator door).


60659...

[Firelord.]

Well, the door out seems welcomly open. So i try it.

If i make it out first this way i will not take credit myself as i didn't come up with the solution myself.

Does the nice door in the floor open?

[Starrakatt]

I'm going with Firelord and same apply to me, no merit for finding the answer...
