Well, I only got to the login page, actually. Try typing "create" in

Grand Inquisitor, or at least that's what I have on my shelf, so unless
there's another Zork game that can be abbreviated to GI...

No. Indeed. Grand Inquisitor. Surprisingly a thoroughly enjoyable and
fun game. A game with humor to my liking.

And I now know what LeChuck will be looking like in the next MI.

Yes, I replayed it last year and finally finished it. My old computer would
never let me get past the bit near the end with the security cameras for
some reason, so I never saw the ending until I replayed it.

> And I now know what LeChuck will be looking like in the next MI.

I think I've mentioned this before, but that game was made around the same
time as CMI, so when they got him to record the voice of the pirate (which I
assume was only a secondary role, since he also voiced that other main
character) he probably used the LeChuck voice because he had been doing it
for CMI.

It's to "create a challenge", apparently. To create a new account you type
in play and follow the links there, but I think you need to join a "colony"
(or create one).

Well, I just created a colony to see what it is all about. Now it says I
need to grow my colony to 5 to advance, so anyone who wishes to join me go
to www.ourcolony.net, type "play" in the box and click the ant thing, click
"Join Existing Colony", and enter the password "81518413".

Okay, I joined.
We seem to be in sixth place somehow. I don't understand a bit of it.
Please, more people join.

It took me ages to figure out, there was a invisible purple electric
fence around the tower at the end. I thought the tower itself was
being electrified.

I still liked it very much, when I clicked on the inflatable pirates
and got shouted at by LeChuck. A total Twin Peaks moment, man!

I'm in. This intrigues me:

"ARGolonists - you’re catching on. You found the other way to play.
That will keep you on top. How bout the rest of you?"

So there's another way to play?

Hmm, and what about the challenge? SHADYRUT is an anagram for
THURSDAY, but that doesn't seem to work.

I have no idea. It seems like we need at least one more player. I
