Cez teases us with suffers and a countdown. There are obviously only a few possibilities:
1. The countdown is to Neil's return. The suffers have missed him.
2. Through some weird time travel paradox (signified by the counter), Cez and Neil (signified by the suffers) are actually the same person. Time travel has even allowed them to be photographed together. Sneaky, guys, but did you really think you could fool me?
3. Neil is currently dancing while listening to "The Final Countdown", and will have the song stuck in his head for the rest of the day
4. The countdown is just counting down to the start of another countdown, hence the suffers.
These are obviously the only possibilities. :P
EDIT: 50 posts! Sweet! A bedpan-emptying wizard's slave no longer!
I like to imagine whatever the (hopefully) good news the timer is counting down to is the direct result of Ken and Roberta Williams storming the Activision compound like a 1980's action movie.
I know what it is!!!!

Oh, a friend and I went to the Hermitage yesterday (a historical home near here) and I bought you something for either your birthday or Christmas. Not sure which :P
Another thing, Erik said he would like a lambanana...and my lambanana has fallen out of my hands a couple times and his two back legs have broken off :( Poor lambanana
OMG NOOOO! :o Poor Lamby!!
Ok Well I can see if I can find any better bananas and send you both one :D I'm planning on getting a huge cuddly one for Julies Birthday :suffer: What type of lambanana does he want??
OOOH I can't wait to see what you got me cat :D Exciting!

I didn't purposely break his legs! When my keys would fall onto tile...they just broke off :( I literally almost cried!
Nooo Cat! It's ok ;D we'll find you a new one!!
I'm going home now (yaaaaay) but also (booooo) because I actually want to stay on the net and chat. But I'll be back tonight...and definately tomorrow :D

I have my fingers and toes crossed!

By my calculations the countdown ends tomorrow at about 4 PM Eastern time. About 28 hours left.
Im pretty sure it's a countdown to a new website.
If they want to release any part of the game as well I won't complain. :) :) :)
:o Ohmygoodness, ohmygoodness!
:) :) :) :)
I cannot wait to find out. I'm so excited about it, that even though I've been following and interested in the project for years I finally joined the forums!

Also I can't believe I was one of the first people to see the email and come over to look. Apparently sometimes my odd hours pay off! When I looked last night/this morning there were only 2 responses! In my dream world Roberta and Ken would have taken up the cause and gotten permission for the release of the game but I'll take that Activision just decided it was okay to release. ;D

Time travel and betting aren't allowed. Not since you took that sports almanac from the future.
I like my idea that the countdown is for the death ray aimed at Activision....

Lol, what is so funny about this is that after all this team has been through, and everything that has stood in this game's path, often I've dreamed that Roberta and Ken Williams would put their spin on it and help out with it as well, but i know that would never happen.
But according to rumors, the countdown is to an announcement that Activision is putting Treyarch on the 3rd installment, (Treyarch being the game designers for Call of Duty and other big game titles) which should be done and ready for the holiday 2011 season. And that they are going to be releasing it in 3 installments charging 59.99 for each.
Giggling in anticipation...
After all these years ... could it really be true?
Wheeeee
I think that article guessed right--the German article--which stated that the game has been changed enough to fit Activision's liking, as in names changed, etc. Just my personal prediction.
I seriously doubt it, unless Activision decided to let them use background art, models and such and just change the script.
Well, someone was trying to sell their baby for $25.00 at Walmart. I am not joking about this either.
Maybe the count down is the amount of time before the special introductory offer is over and they raise the price to $50.00. THAT was a joke. ;D
Seriously though, being that the website is operational again we already have an idea of how the negotiations went. So maybe the countdown is either the release of the game or a major update regarding the game. I like to think its the former though. :)

The quote points to the game being changed. Also, notice--The cap is not King Graham's adventurer's cap. That's a hint about the change.

Its shorter, with a rounder top. Graham's cap has a much longer brim, is skinner all around and the top isn't as sharply curved. It's more akin to a Robin Hood hat.
(Posted on: June 25, 2010, 11:15:30 PM)
I calcuated the timer better, we're not going to learn tomorrow afternoon but possibly the day after--Sometime around 22-24 hours from now, between 10 and 12 am tomorrow.
Accounting for slight artistic variation, which happens all the time when recreating things, the only major difference I see between this highly-detailed version and the one shown here (http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2010/02/10%20fan%20games/valsecrets--article_image.jpg) is the feather placement.
I'm not saying that you're wrong, but the details seem too minor to make a judgment on. :)
Well... if we're speculating wildly... here's how it went down:
POS: We'd like to buy the IP/a fan license.
Activision: That's nice but we're not looking to sell... now let us take a look at this game.
POS: here's everything we've done *hands over awesomeness*
Activition: *receives awesomeness* *hands it off to people to play through and analize*
POS: *taps foot*
Activision: *twiddles thumbs*
POS: *checks watch*
Activision: ok, cool, here's the deal...
POS: *read* ok *signs* *hands over all the signatures they'd previously collected as well*
Activision: here's your ethereal legal notion of a right to do what you've already done
POS: here's your likewise ethereal concepts of good publicity and community good will *sets up counter*
...not that I think that's what actually happened... I'm just speculating wildly...
what would I give to be a fly on the wall during that meeting.
Eh, with what Sierra/KQ fans have been through since 1996, I'm not really expecting the best. The policy I've taken when it comes to anything Sierra related since Activision took over is "Hope for the best, expect the worst."
I'm so enjoying this :suffer:
Not to mention the rather cheery mood of the devs (yes, César, I'm looking at you ;)) suggests a rather favorable outcome.
Or is he happy because it is coming to a close? He would be getting his life back. :suffer:
Possibly. Perhaps Activision has been the unmovable stone and POS is forced to close TSL and move on to other things.
But I doubt it. ;)

Alright, fine, if everyone wants the truth, I'll give em the truth. In all actuality, tsl is being re-made into kings quest: Lego edition. Now you can play as Lego Graham and Lego Alexander. And of course, travelers tales is behind it all... The adventurers cap on the countdown? That's there to throw you WAY off course...
I've spilled the beans... Or have I? Muhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! :suffer:

I would kill for that Lego set.
As far as I can tell, the timer is definitely going to be done in a little over 15 and a half hours, meaning 4PM EST, July 27, and I have a feeling like this has to be something good. I really doubt the team (and Kimmie, apparently :P) would have so much fun teasing us if it were horrible news. :P

A lego Graham can't top my King Graham doll:

I must admit, that king Graham doll is actually pretty cool. And I really wish that they sold costumes like that for Halloween. I'm too lazy to make my own lol.
The Lego, the doll, and the costume are all totally adorable!!
:suffer: for good measure :)
Well, at least we now finally know Graham's first name. Ken. Ken Graham of Daventry. And his wife Queen Barbie Valanice. ;)
Actually the timer ending is about 6 days from now...530,000 seconds or so is equivalent to around 150 hours, which is equivalent to 6.25 days.

King Ken Graham Cracker of Daventry.
That is a mouthful to say. LOL. But good.
The rate of change of the numbers on the timer is faster than a second. That is why I was wrong although I thought I initially miscalculated.
I think it is a milla-second. The second number is the actual second hand.
It should be good news. That would be really mean if they were counting down just to tell us bad news and that the negotiations failed. That sounds like something I would do- they are not that mean :suffer: :suffer: :suffer:
Yes, that makes sense, thanks Waltz. I believe it's about 14.5 hours from now.
I have gotten to know Cesar, and this is just like something he would do. Trust me. ;)
Aprox 1PM Pacific or 4PM for them easterners.

2. Through some weird time travel paradox (signified by the counter), Cez and Neil (signified by the suffers) are actually the same person. Time travel has even allowed them to be photographed together. Sneaky, guys, but did you really think you could fool me?
3. Neil is currently dancing while listening to "The Final Countdown", and will have the song stuck in his head for the rest of the day
LMAO!!! Well, I cannot get it out of my head now!!!
Hm. This is cool and well promising. Thanks to whomever posted a comment on my site alerting me to this :)
Couldn't help but write about it (http://www.shdon.com/blog/2010/06/26/is-there-hope-yet-for-the-silver-lining).
I am LOVING all the speculating :suffer: Just watch the counter, guys...just watch the counter :P
Music added too :)
Just don't make use type in 4 8 15 16 23 42 when it runs down to zero :P

Yeah...had to explain that one to my husband...he was a little LOST with the comment :P
So ehm... can someone actually tell me where I can see the counter? *clueless*
The home page. (http://www.tsl-game.com/)
Wow a countdown eh? It's been so long since I logged in here I had to go get a new password.
So what is this I read about Robert and Ken Williams storming Activision?
:o it's been staring us in the face all this time...the count down is going to explode the forum, quick get out! (nobody is allowed back in until after the timer has gone off, leave it 3 hours and then log back on)
....that way I will have enough time to get home and see whats been revealed before everybody else, mwhahaha :pokerface: :devil:
Oww, cool! I always go directly to /forum instead of going to the home page first... *hides*
No worries, Rob. I do the same thing :P
Hilarious, I had Greensleeves running through my head last night.
Now its playing.
Must head off for the day, but will check in later when I can.
I'm excited... and want a Graham doll.

I'm excited... and want a Graham doll.
What my dad did was got an Aladdin doll, very similar to this one, (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Q6J4AJQAL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)--He bought it from some kid as we were exiting a Park one day in 1996. He then ''shaved'' off a bit of Aladdin's head (for example, he got rid of Aladdin's cap and made his head a bit more round to accodomate an Adventurer's Cap.
He then got paint, or dye, not sure which, and dyed Aladdin's hair grey (to create the King Graham of KQV). He got fabric of some sort from a store which supplied doll stuff to make the shirt, and cut it of course to approximate the appearence of Graham's tunic. And for the belt, he got a thicker form of the wire that usually wraps around other wires (For example, that little cord that comes with a new set of headphones which is wrapped around the headphone wire to keep it from dangling loose) and dyed it dark black and I believe got the head of a thumb tac and painted it yellow/gold for the belt.
He got more fabric from the supply store and shaped it into pants, dyed it (but it came out Blueish Purple instead of purely blue), and for the boots we took the boots off another doll, I forget which.
We also later got an "Amulet" for him--My dad bought a crystal, brought a tiny chip off of it and tied the chip to a small piece of not leather but something like it, and tied it and put it over Graham's neck. However his amulet has since been lost.
Graham also had an Adventurer's Cap, but it kept falling off his head and it got lost. My dad made two, and both were lost.
Also--If you look close in that picture of me, in my other hand there's Cedric. My dad took a stuffed animal of a bird (not an Owl though), gave him a Vest and monocle and that was Cedric to accompany Graham.
I even named my third Cockatiel, whom I got in the Summer of 1997, Cedric after KQ5. From '95 to '97 I was HUGE into KQ. Still am :o
Your dad is awesome.
Very awesome!
Our apologies, by the way, for sending that newsletter so many times! As you may have guessed, we had a spot of difficulty getting it work as expected. The spamming was unintentional!
I wish we knew about other KQ fans back then--My dad could've opened a Graham Doll making business :D Lol!
Until around 2003, when I came here (with my original account) I didn't even realize there were other King's Quest fans--Out of my circle of friends and family I was the only one who liked the games.

It's cool; you guys are awesome, so, at least in my eyes, you're forgiven. ;)

No kidding. I would have bought one.

I'm in the same boat, although it was at TTLG (iirc) that I discovered that there were other adventure game fans. Even then, though, I didn't realize just how highly King's Quest and other Sierra adventure games were thought of among gamers.
Im confused, there Never was a C&D Letter, these Guys were just playing us because they were not ready to release TSL ???
And to kick off another new bit... just threw this together.

No, there was. I've seen it (well, a scan of it, anyway).
It dropped to five digits! ;D
