gamedev.net is not down. OK?

Ok, I see the problem. Somebody forgot to pay their dns fees. So, the site is running fine, but you get a DNS parking page. So i can get to this site because either firefox or windows has cached the dns lookup.

This means... I'm alone on the site O_O

* goes looking for treasure *

oi! keep away from our treasure!

Hmm, im in a dark room which echo's with my footsteps. I can see a tiny flickering light in the distance. What should I do?

Thanks, I didnt notice that there. I was a foot away from stepping in it. Actually, there is a note on the floor by the trap.

* picks up note *

I now have a note.

What should I do?

I don't have any rope, but I do have a note. Sadly, its too dark to read the note. With this mention of food, I'm starting to feel hungry.

What should I do?

* begins to chew on note *

Hang on, this isnt right. Im feeling giddy...

* falls over and bangs head *

The ink the note was printed on must have been some illicit substance. Now I'm tripping somewhat. On closer inspection, the note is actuall written on blotting paper. I imagine the note reads "do not eat".

I am now in a medow, surrounded by bunnies and flowers and there is a unicorn grazing. Sadly, because I am an inherently violent and sadistic person, I am also holding a shotgun.

What should I do?

* looks into shotgun barrel *

This magical shotgun is very interesting, it doesnt just shoot shells, it shoots a recursive cascade of shotguns whereby each shoots smaller shotguns. It must get the the point that the flying shotguns are small enough to function as pellets. I'd better not stare into the barrel for too long, or else I might shoot myself! That would be a tragedy, wouldn't it?

And we're back.

That was a bad idea! Now the ground is shaking. The bunnies have all turned to face me and the unicorn is very deliberately walking up to me. It looks pissed off, as well.

What should I do?

Yay, I almost thought the gamedev.net domain was hijacked due to being refreshed 60 seconds too late!

I just so happen to have such a weapon about my person.
* throws Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch at unicorn and bunnies *

How far away from the grenade do you need to be to be

* BOOM *

I am now halfway up a tree. I am bleeding. There is a crater where the animals used to be. I can see a small hut in the distance with a large sattellite dish on top.

What should I do now?
