October 15th 2017 - October 31st 2017

:When:
October 15th - October 31st

:What:
As it would appear, the inhabitants of Guildereim all seem to be sharing the same nightmare. They wake up naked, in a strange room. There's a corpse in the room with them, obviously murdered. After half an hour, they wake up, clearly remembering everything that has happened. Rumors are whispered in the hallways. Why are so many people having this dream? Is someone, or something, trying to tell you something?

'The Maldoc Murder' is a separate dream, loaded in the House of the Golden Moon. Go through the door on the left. If it is not there, please whisper Biers. It is a puzzle dream designed for one player, who will have half an hour real time to find their way out of the locked room. The dream will be available for roughly two weeks, giving everyone who wants to give it a try the chance to figure out the puzzles, and escape from the room.

Type *start_game to start. If you disconnect, and need to be resummoned into the room, simply type *start_game again. If someone else is playing, please wait for the half hour to run out. The game will emit when it is ready to be reset.

Have fun!

:Who:
Everyone. If you do not find the solution the first time around, do not fret. Feel free to try again, as it is a repeated nightmare. Please find a forum to discuss possible riddle solutions here, though please use the spoiler tags to hide things people may not want to see.

:Hints:
- Use the F3 button on as many significant objects in the room as possible, to collect hints.
- Take notes of important items.
- Check your inventory often (*inventory). You may find new commands when you collect items.
- All commands that are needed to finish the puzzle will be found in game.
- You will not need resources that are not in the game-room itself to solve the puzzle. No additional internet lookups needed.
- Some puzzles will require you to fill out a numerical value. All number puzzles can be found in the room, no random numbers need to be tried. All numerical values are three digits long. Type the command, a space, and the number. For example: *take_book 123
- Some puzzles will require you to fill out a name or a word. All word puzzles can be found in the room, no random words need to be tried. Type the command, a space, and the word. For example *name Biers
- All objects are required for one puzzle only.
- If you're really stuck, try the hint forum here


Last but not least! Did you solve the room? Let us know in this event? (Please do not post the solution, as this would spoil it for other players)

    As we're drawing close to the end of the room's existence, here's a few hints for those who are still stuck on things.

    - The skeleton needs a name. You don't need to piece it together, it can clearly be found in the room somewhere.
    - There are three locations in the room related to the puzzle on the astrolabe. Look to the stars.

    I've been hearing many of the same comments, so here it is, the first official hint for this game:

    You do not need to know morse code. Everything you need to solve this riddle is found in the room itself.

    Okay, the last part took me like 3 minutes as I tried everything but was all "None of this works, what do." Before I finally got it xD Dang.
    Well, 1687 on that try, was not proud of that last bit so I went through on a speed run

    { Congratulations, you've completed the game in 197 seconds! }

    Could get it in just 2 minutes if 0 stumbles are made, but hey, this was fun indeed :2 Good to figure out your laptop controls x2

    I beat it! I had to guess part of the last bit- I think I may have missed a clue somewhere.

    It was certainly a lot of fun, though! I'd love to play another challenge like this sometime!

    "completed the game in 1768 seconds!"

    Tried it numerous times. Can't figure out one of the paintings and the astroglobe thing. Got all the letters, but no red one. Anyone got tips?

    Oh this is a wonderful idea~ Anyone want to sleep and not wake up~? Sounds like a good way to get more time for me :2

    Other than the fact that F3 is screen brightness for me so I can't actually use that ^^' But this looks really neat~
