That's the only part i'm confuzed about - what do you mean I22 coorisponds wiht 6:00


There are 6 Xs on the map (see the map room), and each X is one of the coordinates. If you consider how the Xs are placed relative to each other, it's obvious which coordinates go with which Xs. Then if you take each X in order along the path of the ship (1:00, 2:00...), I22 is the 6:00 X.

There is only 1 starboard view with no portholes and 2 of the 3 port side pictures feature port holes. How do you explain/interpret that? Check chapters 1 and 2 or view the few pages of the last thread and my theory.


Take a closer look at the pictures and consider where the railing is (see Bonju's account). The railing appears to be in the middle of the ship, and doesn't include the railing lining either of the decks (one more reason: if it included the decks, then it would overlap with "aft deck") . The middle section of the ship, according to the pictures, has no portholes. (See the closeup at http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a363/ ... ropped.png )

Now that I think about it, I think both the dining room and the storeroom are also aft, towards the stern.

I see what you mean now. That's even more detailed than my assumption. I just went by Orrin being the eyewitness on port side (judging from the pictures). I don't think it matters where the railings are and I don't think Hoban fell out of a porthole. But Orrin witnessed the scream and fall from a porthole. So my best guess was it had to be on the same side. I didn't think TNT would have us assume so much about ship parts; if they did I hope they'd provide us with blueprints of the ship. :P

Good luck to everyone with their guesses. I hope we are rewarded soon.

Oh, yay. I come back thinking I'd find a couple more comics, and I get a quiz? I'll probably put in some random guesses :P *is lazy*

Edit:
Who pushed Hoban? Bonju
When did he fall? 6:00
Where on the ship did he fall? port railing
Where is Hoban now? I22
Do you like Hoban's hat? yes, it's very stylish

I'm such a boring person, I put Bonju even if I thought he's too suspicious to be really suspicious, if you get what I mean. But Linae was with Anshu at the end of the storm, unless she lied, in that case it would have been her most likely... er, and then I totally forgot about Kentari... ok, it was random.
6:00 because he's been seen by two different people at 5:00, so it's got to be after that.
Port railing because... er... dunno. He had to be seen by Orrin, and I read somewhere that port railing was above the storeroom, but I might just have gotten it wrong.
I22 because I assumed he marked all positions of the ship, and stopped marking where he fell off.
Well, it's quite a lot of thought I put into those random guesses :P
I want the hat as a prize.

just wondering about this....it was stated quite a few times by different people that Hoban was seen around 5:00. why did you pick 1:00???

I was wondering about the Chef Bonju avatar. No one knows how to get it right. Normally they don't give out the "plot avatar" until the plot is over and in this case the plot is not over.
My point: If Bonju is convicted a criminal and locked away or thrown into the sea, how are we supposed to get the Bonju avatar?

I'm alittle worried that TNT might stop people from guessing real soon so I submitted my answers just so I got my answers in...

Maybe the Staff Tournament principle: get at least one correct guess?

In the beta game that involves the crew, Bonju is pictured, so apparently he's not going to be gone. Unless it's showing happier times, before this plot event takes place! If this is a plot, it can't be over; that'd be silly. Anyway, I picked Bonju as the culprit before I saw the beta game, so now I'm wondering . . . Actually, I don't put much credence in it; I don't think there's much to this whole thing that you can stand on.

Here's some screenshots of Eye of the Storm for those without beta testing access.

WEll judging by the game...we have Anshu missing and Kentari missing so maybe they did it? If that game has any relevance to the plot...then I'm gonna be pretty mad since I guessed Linae did it.

I'm hoping the answer doesn't lie in the game and the whole hoban thing was just one big misunderstanding and TNT will give us our prizes and the world will be at peace once again.

But yeah, if it does lie with game... that is a really really boring game. I don't think TNT would release the game for beta testing until after the plot solution.
