A VERY GRAVE PROBLEM

by Hazed

Last Tuesday, on the last day of the month, All Hallows Eve, the scariest day of the year, a new mission was added to Fed DataSpace. The Galactic Trading Guild needed help, and those that chose to offer their assistance were directed to a new asteroid - Graveyard - where a mystery needed to be solved. This dangerous world claimed many lives, but fortunately all the victims were insured. Cries of frustration filled the comms for many hours as players attempted to solve the Graveyard puzzle.

Until finally, somebody cracked it! The first to solve the puzzle was Mythic, who as well as his reward from a grateful Trading Guild was given a slithy tove as a prize. His success was closely followed by Kblackdragon, then Madchemist and Emie... in all, eight players succeeded in their tasks on the first day.

These successes were not without cost as the body count grew higher and higher. There were 43 deaths on Graveyard on that first day. The most deaths were clocked up by Lorzec and Kblackdragon, who each died six times. By contrast, Mythic, the first solver, only died once, showing that brains can keep you alive as well as solving puzzles.

For those that haven't yet tried the Graveyard puzzle, you don't have to worry: this puzzle is going to stay in the game and become a permanent mission. If you would like to have a go, and are not afraid of the dangers that lie ahead, the Galactic Trading Guild asks that you go to the Guild HQ building and speak to Mr Puckleberry.
