Another Room Name Topic

[jfeathe]

Everyone calls the pit type room in Season 1 Layouts 1-4, The Wall Climb. During Olmec's description he says "and into a wall climb." After describing all of the other rooms, he says "climb back into the Pit of Despair." I am torn between the true room name now. I am leaning toward the Pit of Despair since that was used for "The Wheel Room" and part of season 2. Also because The Pit of Despair would be a weird name for that kind of room. I am not bringing this topic up just to say Nicklegends is wrong, but only out of curosity of what everyone else thinks.

That's one of the troubles about making a site--I'm always trying to be as accurate as possible, but inaccuracies occur that then get passed down as fact. The "Wall Climb" name was taken directly from Chris Reynolds' site (not that it's his fault, but just an explanation).

To be honest, I'm not positive what the name of the room should be. Does Olmec not say "the wall climb?" I haven't listened closely enough to check.

Layout I rundown:

"You could start by running to the Room of the Three Gargoyles. Push in the right tongue, and a door might lead you down a staircase into the Wall Climb. Here you must choose your next path. You could race up to the Observatory, spin the sundial, and pass into the Room of the Golden Idols. Once there, push down on their bases to release the doors. That may take you below or lead you into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Assemble the Statue there, and you may be headed for the Torch Room. If the elevator is up, you could jump in the elevator and descend into the Mine Shaft. Next, you could climb up the ladder or plow through the stone wall. Find the key, and it may unlock the Tombs of the Ancient Kings, allowing you to enter the Swamp. If you escape, you might have a chance to sit upon the Throne of the Pretender. If the correct door is unlocked, you could crawl through the Pit of Despair and, finally, make your way through the Cave of Size/Sighs and back to the Temple Gates. The choices are yours and yours alone. GOOD LUCK."

Pit of Despair is in the lower level.  Wall Climb is the back wall.  It was assumed that players would climb along the back wall, but nobody did it.

I know, and the ropes were anything but helpful.  Think how much time it would've saved Kristin in The Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart if she'd just ignored the ropes or they weren't there.

Hey, without those ropes, Tia never would have been able to show her muscle.

I always thought it was vaguely strange that Kirk wondered if Josh (from "Wild Bill Hickok and the Dead Man's Hand") was going to climb across the wall. It seems like it would have been difficult to climb across from the top Cave-Pit crawl tube, though; it would have made much more sense to do it from the Room of Three Gargoyles.

Not important or anything, but I actually made a contestant do that in one of my fanfics.

Well, that was a pointless bump.

To get back on topic, I want to see if we could agree on what we'll refer to the rooms as.  Shoyuld we go by the first thing Olmec calls the rooms in the rundown, perhaps?
