YEAH! \O/
I might have suggested that but I don't have an EP folder. The .crf just sits in my Thief folder.

Hi...stunning,just stunning!
nb....the only problem I have had was a bit of lag on the top walkways of the Cathedral....other than that smooth as a second-hand car salesman.....

Elkston: I understand, but in this case Rocksbourg 3 is right. All the other six colours are equally bad.
Lol, you get a million bjillion points for referencing that conversation in the "general FM discussion" thread (and they're "The Mike" points, so you can spend them anywhere).
As far as this FM goes, things do not bode well for me. I can't get past the two gold guards in the first hallway- the hallway behind them just leads to two dead ends, a boarded up hallway up the nearby stairs and an impassable electricity trap.
Help please?
Edit: NM, I'm unbelievably dull as it turns out.

I just finished this epic endeavour. I am amazed. The architecture is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. There are rooms where I spent more time staring at the ceiling than searching for stuff...and that was before I entered the cathredal. I only experienced minor slowdowns in parts of the cathredal, but otherwise no worries for me.
A few notes and thoughts:
# The readable with the "When the wrath of the builder is travelling..." question had me in stitches. Easily the funniest part of the whole FM.
# I had an easier time dealing with the Black team than the Silver team - and I didn't use a gas arrow anywhere in the FM!
# I found half the secrets. All things considered, I feel very proud of myself for that.
# One of the secrets opened up into a cave with frozen pits and a lava pool. I think I can make out something under the ice...or am I seeing reflections? On the wall by the lava pool there was a strange symbol. Besides picking up the loot, is there anything to do in this cave?
# There are readables mentioning something odd about one of the VIP rooms and a possible hidden chamber that is revealed by the Emperor. Also, one of the towers in the academy courtyards had no apparent entrance. In regards to these things, am I missing something?
Thank you all for an awesome FM that will not be forgotten easily, if at all. Now if you'll excuse me, it's 4:30 AM here and I need some sleep!

I'm in the Cathedral right now, its absofrigginlutely beautiful. There are not enough words to describe it. I stood there looking around. Its just beautiful guys. I'm not rushing, taking my time. Thank you for all your hard work. This is wonderful. :)

Unkillable Cat: Yes, you are missing something. You will need to find a specific secret for the answer to your questions.

am I the only one having trouble finding the white icon? what is it even supposed to be again?
I love the new sing-song voices! the Silver team sounds very Lutheran, while the Purples have got some Soul :D
Unkillable Cat: I think the VIP room readable is just a funny anecdote about the lengths one Brother will go to avoid another that he doesn't like :ebil:

A pair of lockpicks, like the pair mounted above the door to the White Team base.

I'm curious: If I knockout everyone I encounter, will I miss some nice AI fights later?
