That was to demonstrate my distaste for the puzzle clue in TAR. Sorry about cursing- I do it a lot in real life. Always in a funny way though.
And Illazar, I thank you for asking for peace. I was almost ready to ask for my account to be suspended. It was getting a lot less fun to be on here. I know I'm annoying. I try not to be, but it may just be who I am. I try to be better, but it may take a while.
Illazar, I don't see you as annoying. How do you say that?

And what's wrong with this one? It's the simplest of simple tasks, but requires impeccable timing.

Come on now, when I make a clue, I like to make it frustrating. Makes it more entertaining to watch people try to solve and people are more prone to mistakes.

For two days now fmtiger124, IdahoSciGuy, and RandomPerson52 have been sitting in the room. Starving, each waits for the winner to be anounced. And yet the fear of what will happen to the other two hangs over them all.

Suddenly, the voice springs to life, letting out a loud "Congratulations!" Each stands up quickly and looks about. At last, the results.
"Please open the door...."

"IdahoSciGuy!"
As quickly and fiercly as a bullet, fear and panic run into fmtiger124 and RandomPerson52. But that fear is short lived as the room spins and goes black.

IdahoSciGuy wakes up. More white... but this time, there is noise? Where is he?
"IdahoSciGuy?" A gentle voice, not as harsh and mechanic as the mystery voice in The White Room. "I see you're finally awake."
Confused, IdahoSciGuy let out a weak "Where am I?"
"Hospital. You've been in a coma for almost a day . We found you in the middle of a field, completely knocked out."
"What is today's date? How long have I been in that horrid room?"
The nurse looks confused. "It's only September 28th. I don't know where you could have gone in such a short amount of time."
"No, I was trapped. In a room... it was white. There were several of us, and..." but Idaho trails off, completely unsure of himself. He was gone for more than a day, that he is sure of.
"Perhaps a little T.V. would help..." the nurse replies, as uncertain. "I think you may just be confused."
Turning on the T.V, the nurse tunes to a news station. Staring at the newscaster, the words sink in slowly. Looking at the pictures there... is it possible?
"Seven people have mysteriously disappeared. Their location is still unknown. If you know anything, please contact us right away."
On that screen are the pictures of fmtiger124, EASTstroudsburg13, RandomPerson52, winneratlife, paleonaps, and lllazar. "I... I..." IdahoSciGuy tries to speak, but cannot remember. What happened? Where did he go? And... what was that room? That room full of... nightmares...or was it... even there at all?

That is not true. I was not on the screen.

I screamed when I was dropped into a snake nest. However, I had been carrying a concealing knife, and I rapidly cut my bonds. I leapt out of the nest, jumped zyzzva98, who was operating the controls. I rigged up a time vortex to send Idaho back to September 28, hoping it would save the others as well. Sadly, it did not.

I sought out brobo and plotted my revenge. :o

The White Room is fully of mysteries. It is completely not possible to determine what happened once you were left behind. In fact, the story I told was completely accurate.
