As someone who primarily loves The Director because of the use of "You Oughta Be In Pictures" in his promos, I couldn't agree more. If they do go with that era, I would love to hear them use old big band and swing classics to at least set the mood. And as anyone who has played Bioshock knows, oldies being played on an old gramophone in a dark room is always creepy, despite how cheerful the actual song is.

Its definitely not "Luck Be A Lady". Especially if we're keeping with the speculated time period of the 1920's-1930's, as that song wasn't written until 1950. You're looking for big band (later 1930's and 1940's) and swing (1930's). Think Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw...the like.

Sorry if I confused anyone before with my throwaway comment about "Luck Be A Lady"...obviously its NOT that song, which I'm pretty sure wasn't a standard until the 50's. I'm trying to figure the song that is playing, however. Is it just generic music or is it a section from an actual song? It makes me thing of Benny Goodman. Any fans of big band recognize it?

After reading these posts, I've had "Luck Be a Lady" stuck in my head, playing repeatedly. Thanks guys. If the Icon did turn out to be a female personification of luck, I'd be disappointed if that song isn't played somewhere in the event.

Well, I don't know why I didn't think of a gambling theme sooner. Especially with it being HHN 21...the blackjack connections and all, not to mention that HHN is legally able to drink in the US. But I think the theme of gambling would work, especially if kept to that 1920's gangster-esque theme mentioned before. Or maybe that's just because I love vintagey things in general. But that would be interesting to say the least. But we know A&D likes to twist things up, so I'm expecting to see something a bit more interesting than just a scary blackjack dealer or possessed casino.

Sorry to be "that guy" and go back to something that was mentioned a while ago (hey, I've just came back to the forum after a long hiatus)...but I really love the idea of literature gone wrong. But I think it would only work if it was non-horror literature. I mean, there's plenty of obvious horror literature targets (Frankenstein, Dracula, anything by Poe, Lovecraft, etc.). But sort of along the lines of taking something that has very few horror ties and twisting it would be good, but not in the vein of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. That's more along the lines of adding absurdities for the sake of quirkiness. I mean like, something has gone terribly wrong with these books and they're being twisted to the point of pure, unadulterated horror. But there is the problem of an Icon...while I could see an event like that working without one, having one would cut it too close to the Storyteller. Although an evil librarian would be cool, as mentioned before. Or maybe someone who writes too much fanfiction and starts twisting classic works to meet their sick, fanficiton-y needs. Some fanfiction writers are pretty scary. That was all more of wishful thinking than speculation. Sorry guys. I'm still a bit rusty. Here's to a new update soon!

I agree with the Facebook thing. That was a disaster, really. So much frustration from going on that page every day for more information and then seeing people fighting and complaining. I feel bad for whoever at A&D decided that would be a good idea...it really got out of hand, didn't it? Which is a shame, because it could have been so good. I really hope they stick with using the LT website (or maybe a website for the new, separate faction that split from LT?) for major updates and maybe they can use the FB page more for general information, pointing newbies in the right direction, etc. Or at least keep the FB profiles going so that hardcore fans can get deeper into the whole game and keep in contact with the LT people.

Well, do remember that LT was introduced later during the event in 2008. I also recall someone saying that A&D was going to wait until at least after the 2nd week before they get into more LT investigations. Patience, padawans!

If anything it looks like they're being marked. And that its either drawing blood...or something's getting blood one them.

Its weird, because on one hand I think it was a great idea. The game got more personal with FB and it was interesting to have this one on one connection at times with our superiors. On the other hand, between spamming and very confused people, it gets frustrating. Especially when you're trying to find information that you missed and such. If anything, LT should give more time to its website. I know that it was part of the storyline that the website was "hijacked", which explained how little it was used so far, but its so much easier to get information from there. Especially doing Q and A's, thank goodness we had people from here copying and pasting answers from it in a neat post.

As always, you are AMAZING, JWFearman. I was just about to come on and ask if anyone made videos yet, haha. But you're always one step ahead. Well done.

Contradicting my previous post, I finally played it all (huzzah, procrastination!). That was awesome, reminded me of Hotel 626 from last year (I think?)
