Questions about the game dynamics to the revered mods.

As the contestants are now in something like "parties" eg. near each other, will they still face the next day's challenges alone?

It would feel a bit odd, that they make friends during the night and then one at the time perform the same challenges the next day. And wouldn't any reasonable contestant try to use others to help oneself with at least the more challenging problems they face and just try to get rid of any competition later on?

So is something like teamwork allowed?

Another question.

If I know that I'll probably be sleeping and then busy (RL) when the new day begins (GT), can I send my choice of direction beforehand so that when I wake up (RL) I can immediately see the description and think for my questions?

I know it's a little weird to not talk to other players during the day, but remember there can only be one winner. And Eoln is always watching, he would not allow such frivolous chatter during your challenges. You may look at one another during the day and have your own thoughts about other player, but you may not help someone else with their challenge. You can "help" other players by your actions, but you may not talk!!

If you know you will be away at the start of the new day you may pm me your direction choice, but ONLY if you know you will be away, no sending them early for your convenience.

It wouldn't really matter though, because we'd still get the answers back at the same time as the others players.

Shouldn't Day 2 have started by now? When does it begin?

Valier · 08-10-2006, 01:21 PM

Eomer.....Huh? LOL

Sleepy..... Nights are 24hrs Day 2 begins at 1am CST

Ok players may pm their direction choice to me early, but I will not send you your scenario until the Day starts. I don't want some players having more time to think up something than the players who sent theirs at Day start.

That was just what I was after: that I could have the answer in time (when the day starts) even if I'm not awake or otherwise able to send mine in that hour. The worst scenario would be that I get to make my PM to you just as you go to sleep and then get the first answer only after my day (RL) has already gone...

That's ok. for me.
(This problem will occur with me every even day of the game as the hour of the new day starting is then during the morning hours and I'll either sleep or get to work)
