A very important poll follows. If you're not a student at CMU and you've never visited, you can probably ignore it.

I only said CFA for the first question because of the creepy abandoned bits. If you stick to the well populated areas its not bad at all.

I chose Roberts for creepiest because, apart from the fact that nobody's ever there, the windows along the outside where the back balcony is remind me of that Scene in Serenity where they find all the bodies on Miranda and I always expect to see corpses in there. But maybe I'm just a freak.

It's interesting that creepiness doesn't exactly correlate with head-crab likeliness. I picked two different buildings for the two different questions, yet they're both the ones with the most votes. What prompted the survey?

The copy editor in me feels compelled to point out that there's only one "m" and a "c" in "Hamerschlag" -- the word a good example of an instant red flag in editing at The Tartan. :-)

Every Tuesday/Thursday morning, I have a class in one of the Hamerschlag B-level lecture halls, and I often take the super-sekrit close-to-Wean-hall entrance into C level. It always creeps me out, though, because Hamerschlag has hallways going everywhere (I still don't know where half of them go to), and with the all the pipes and machinery and even doors used I feel like I'm walking through a level of Half-Life.

Also, I think I've always misspelled that, but I will henceforth spell it correctly. Thanks. :)

Yes, Hamerschlag was definitely my choice for creepiest building because of its insane hallway layout. I've gotten in there before, on B level or C level, and actually been unable to find my way out again without wandering corridors and trying to follow confusing exit signs.

I think I'd have to go with Posner for creepy, though it wasn't an option.

Hammerschlag is definitely reminiscent of a FPS, but Wean, the basement levels of Doherty, and the sound proof/mezzanine areas of CFA definitely qualify as well.

[jgrafton]

Yeah, I thought I'd written it down on my list but apparently I fail. So it goes.

For the second question. Two words:

Am I really the first to say NSH for headcrab? Catacombs, people! :-9
