Meh, nice theory. 'Spose we'll wait and see. One question that will never be answered though is that why the hell did Trilby go and work an the same place as Chris Quinn.

Because of the dental plan.

[David-kyo]

And because of the insignificant number of murders.

[AdamM]

You do realise that I am, of course, talking about the Ministry of Occultism, rather than the ten million billion times worse Protocorp.

[Stalky]

most important, that explains why no one that touched the idol got possessed.

In 5 Days a Stranger, Jim becomes possessed. Your theory fails.

[David-kyo]

I believe he meant AFTER 5DaS, when the looters and Chahal were moving it around. However, we cannot be sure if this theory is plausible, since these are just not spoken of. Maybe DeFoe did possess them, we just don't know about it.

[Millitant Pacifist]

They might not have actually touched it. You wouldn't want to be rooting through a burnt-out building with your bare hands. If you're cleaning/restoring an antique you'd wear gloves too.

The mind being in Trilby doesn't really explain the nightmares or the hallucinations. He spent 5 days locked in a house with a vengeful ghost, saw four dead bodies, was possessed by aforementioned vengeful ghost and killed someone, and according to Yahtzee, wasn't the most balanced of people to begin with. I think nightmares are only to be expected. As for the hallucinations, I'm more inclined to believe eating heavy-duty tranquilizers like sweets caused them. Fair enough, becoming the Welder and seeing the cellar complete with 'Father, why?' does fit nicely, but what with the hangar scene, I think they're just there to creep the hell out of you. They worked.

An evil, possessed rocking chair does have a lot of potential...

[AdamM]

Doesn't Trilby's letter in 7 Days mention something about additional murders caused by the movement of the idol and JD possessing more people?

[Zewb]

ATTORNEY: Ok, Timmy, touch on this little wooden doll in the spot where Trilby touched you.

TRILBY: NOOO! DON'T!!!!

JUDGE: YOU WILL BE HELD IN CONTEMPT! BAILIFF, GET HIS TIE!

[Nostaw]

Gobbler: I think AdamM was talking about my theory that Trilby and Chris would work together on the next game. It seems ridiculous but since it would be a terror game and not a comedy Yaz would change Chris a lot... I really cant say, I didnt play the Chris game, I just readed the Chris & Trilby comic.

David-Kyo: Yes, I was talking about the time after 5DAS and before T'N, thank you. But you may be sure that if someone got possessed by JD after 5DAS it would be widely notified.

Zewb: Who is Timmy?

[Gobbler]

Nostaw: No.

[AdamM]

No. I only said that 1) for a joke and 2) because Chris and Trilby, thanks to the comic, are in the same '5 Days universe' as it were.

[David-kyo]

However, since I'm a user of RPG Maker 2000, and Yahtzee made Final Fantasy-style sprites of these two characters (so I won't even have to draw them), and I love making RM2K games, you might have just given me an idea for a comedy fan-RPG.

[AdamM]

Interesting, good luck with that. I wouldn't suggest doing it for YTOTW/Rob Blanc/AITGOFW though...

[David-kyo]

Naah, I like my original idea better. Like a paladin teaming up with a rogue in World of Warcraft, just with a different engine (well, shittier graphics) better plot and less frustration.

I can guarantee the better plot since it'll be based upon the comic Chris & Trilby, but focusing on different (more combative) aspects.
