Looks like we've got a hangman puzzle.

That's about all I have to offer at present. Through the Looking Glass really sounded like the answer to it all.

I inspect the bite mark, trying to look and see what kind of bite is it
actions like these are redundant. same goes for the ones where macman says we are in a pitch black room and everything is dark and then someone asks for a match. by now its become apparent which things are wholly unimportant, really, and its just a question of which of the possibly useful clues are going to net results.

maybe the heart, bug, cat, painting each mean a word and it makes a sentence.

I just wanted to make sure something, that is all >>;; cause my mine was gonna say a vampire bite where there's really no vampires at all ><;;

But yeah, I have nothing that could even give a hint to all of this.

Skyler does so. The entire room begins to flash dark red. You hear a scream. You all look to skyler, you see him in great agony with blood gushing from his shoulder. He seems to have gotten bit. He passes out. [Skyler can no longer post until further notice]. The painting of the screen begins to flash. For a few short seconds you see the image of a black cat being hung from a noose. You aren't sure but it looks like the cat has gotten it's eye gouged out. The painting than returns to normal.
Alright, now I think this room is just referring to something I've never seen/polayed/heard of before. This one might be kinda like the Zelda one. Can any of you guys think of games where the room flashes red when **** goes down? Or movies? Also the word "flash" was used twice in the description so it could be significant somehow.

As well as the hanging and the eye getting gouged out. Might be referring to a character with an eyepatch or something, or a person that was hanged.

I'm not sure I agree with it being hangman. Is losing an eye a hangman thing? When I play, you lose limbs off the guy, not facial features.

I meant an adapted hangman. I'm willing to bet that another wrong guess on the cat would have its other eye gouged out, and that the loss of facial (or wherever) appendages would lead to a severe penalty, like death.

Well, if it does have to do with hangman, that means guessing letters. But I think if it were the case that we were supposed to guess individual letters then the format would be different. Normally it's at least possible to solve the puzzle without having someone have to get something wrong first, so I don't think it being hangman is the fundamental nature of the puzzle. Could be something that comes in later though.

At any rate, we should try to solve the cat one first, so that if we make another wrong guess, we can confirm or shoot down whether there is indeed hangman flavor.

Just want to point out that your description was creepy as hell.

while i appreciate that you're helping Macman make puzzles and such, you are only pissing people off / going to ruin the mood of the game by coming in here and laughing at us, A6M.

We already had the idea that there were stories involved...

Apparently you recognize the story these things are nicked from, but we don't. Quit bein' such a ponce. If we don't think of it, odds are none of us read the story in question.

included in what EE says is the fact that when we solve a puzzle based on outside hints or information, though we've solved the puzzle quicker and safer than what could have been, we also lose a bit of the accomplished feeling of cracking a code or that special Eureka

Hum...There's nothing more I can say without giving too much away. I apologize for the manner in which I delivered this ><

Pushes A6M into the keyboard, making him press buttons and hopefully answering incorrectly and hoping that a trapdoor opens up on him.

...


Wishes he could at least laugh maniacally

The gold bug, the tell tale heart, and the balck cat were all written by edgar allan poe. He also specialized in horror stories.

Superstar does so. The painting begins to disappear. The cat in the painting winks. The room flashes green and you are blinded for a few seconds. You wake up to see Superstar lying on the ground seemingly unconscious.[Superstar may no longer post in the thread until further notice]
