This blog is where we will post when Crux is off into the forest for a game. Clues will be wiped when the session has ended, tally's posted (and screencaps once I can get them working again), and new clues posted next time. Feel free to use the comments section to work out the clues together - some of them may eventually get pretty hard!
We may also post random forest based riddles here as well so check in now and then. Prizes ARE given! Also, PLEASE remember to follow the rules - it's more fun that way.

Prizes: If you catch her, congrats! AND if you identify yourself correctly we will draw you a chibideer! <3 **subject is of your choosing, so it doesn't have to be of the deer that caught her OR you can give it away as a gift by picking someone else's deer to have drawn!

I do take screencaptures of the winners now, and they will get posted here at the end of the game day, but in order to give you the choice of what to have drawn I require you to speak up and let me know the deer/picto you used to catch her.

... and though it is literally years later... here I am.

I wonder if there is anyone left who would remember me? ;>.>

I feel guilty for being so neglectful of this beloved place that was my grounding spot and only quite space in life. But life itself got busy and I stopped hiding and changes happened and now everything is different.

My daughter said to me the other day "hey mom? remember that deer place you used to play all the time? Is it still there, because I want to try it..." and I realized just how long it had been since I was around the woods.

Thank you for still being here. ^.^

I've made up my mind and I'm asking any others who have done the same to join me!

This is not going to be an easy task and one person alone is NOT going to be able to manage it. But I've decided to dedicate myself to trying to make this work - and with the help of other's who are willing to do the same I BELIEVE we can do this!

... so without further babble I present to you:




It takes a lot of time, effort, and FUNDING to keep our forest running and without the funds we don't get updates or repairs. Without funding eventually we loose our Forest! The goal of Project Greenleaf is to help to provide the funding to keep our Forest running! We want to show our support to Auriea & Michaël and to let them know that WE LOVE OUR FOREST and want to see it continue to thrive and maybe even GROW!

We want to see our Forest continue and hopefully to stay free-to-play, since paying a fee each month would seriously take away from the very nature of TEF. By promoting donations specifically to The Endless Forest and raising funds for the same goal we hope to help make a dent in the expenses of keeping our Forest running!

This is a big job - and it's going to take a lot of dedication in order for this project to succeed - but we believe that it IS possible for us to make a difference if we work together to do so!

.... because I really want to know!

Update: April 20th - Project Greenleaf has been founded! Go here to check it out!


Lately I've been starting to get a little worried.... and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same secret fears?

I love the Forest - even though I had to be away for a few months last year I couldn't help myself coming back. I will always come back. The Forest is my sanctuary and resting place... it's where I go to relieve tension, break out of the stress of life, become someone/something other than what I am stuck as... I stretch and breathe and it brings ME back to life again every time.

But lately we've been having more and more glitching issues as things are moved to new servers (why new ones? Because we lost funding for the old hosts - I think...?) The founders are having to move on to other projects and we are not getting updates/fixes for issues we have now...

Now, I can live with the Forest as-is and not mind. I'll miss the live map, but if it never comes back I would stay. I can live without new pelts or new actions, or new scenery, my Forest is perfect already if I need it to be and I can be content. < What I can't live with is the idea that we could ever possibly LOOSE the Forest due to the lack of funding. I can't say that I really would want to have to PAY to play here... I might consider it if it was a small amount and would keep things going... but I think it would take away from the feel of things in our world, it would destroy some of the feelings of peace & freedom that we have now.

well I finally decided to do it because I can. < >.< > I MAY add more illustrations at a later time. This tale was half written to explain why Light has such a fascination with frogs, and half for my beloved daughter who LOVES stories as much as Light loves frogs. <3

Edit: And ergh! Sorry for spamming this to the diaries twice, but the blog version needed updating-of-the-illustration-kind since people are actually still reading this here too! < o.o' >
