MetaTerminal Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) There will be a delay between Round 1 and 2, since I’m not quite happy with those puzzles yet (ie I haven’t written some of them). During that time I’ll probably let people drop out and sign up as they wish. Activity picked up hugely over the afternoon, which is phenomenal. Thanks to everyone who is putting a lot of time into this - it feels really good to make something and then watch people enjoy it. Things like these are only as successful as its participants, and participation has been excellent. EDIT: Team 5 is storming ahead after a slow start, with 4 rapid solves in the past few hours putting them in second place behind Team Voidapple. The winning team may be the one to solve the meta first, which is exciting! Edited January 27, 2019 by MetaTerminal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaTerminal Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) ATTENTION TO ALL TEAMS: I have made a terrible error. Please be aware that the meta is not quite accurate. The answer for Puzzle 1 doesn’t clue what fits in the blanks - it instead clues the opposite of what fits in the blanks. The antonym, you might say. My extreme apologies for this. It won’t happen again. IMPORTANT NOTE #2: Team 4 has now solved all puzzles except for the meta, putting them in second place behind Voidapple. Unless one of the other teams catch up (which is also likely), the first among those two to solve the meta will win the round. IMPORTANT NOTE #3: Team 5 has solved the meta with four answers, and is 15 points from a full score. If they solve their final puzzle before either of the other teams solve the meta, they will win. It is quite literally neck and neck right now. Edited January 27, 2019 by MetaTerminal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaTerminal Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 And we have a winner! Congratulations to Team 5, who is the first team to solve every puzzle and thus to reach 100 points. Teams 1 and 4 are still in competition for second place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaTerminal Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Congratulations to Team Voidapple, who made it to second place exactly 48 hours after the first puzzle was posted. Amazing work, y’all! I will keep the round open for another day or so, in order to let more teams complete the meta. EDIT: Team 6 stuck with Puzzle 3, and have solved it! Well done!

RShara Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 @MetaTerminal Are you reopening sign ups, then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaTerminal Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Probably tomorrow. I’m still accepting answer submissions - Team 6 just solved the meta with minimal cluing - very well done to them. I’m expecting two of the other teams to get the meta soon. I’ve also got a lot of things to say, which I will do through a wrap up post which will probably be the one to reopen signups. So that will go up in another 12 hours.

MetaTerminal Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I will bear that in mind for both wrapup and next round. I shall imagine the core solvers for each team should remain roughly the same. @Karnatheon and the rest of Team 2, will you be aiming to solve the meta this round? If so, I will probably keep answer submissions open to allow for that. EDIT: Well done to Team 4, who persevered on the meta for a long time (well over 12 hours) and finally cracked it.

+ElephantEarwax Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Yo I'll join for next round. I'll be around for it or on the discord if I forget. If I do forget someone hit me with a spike or something. Edited January 28, 2019 by ElephantEarwax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaTerminal Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 @MountainKing @ElephantEarwax I’ve put you down as joining the next round, which will happen at a slightly delayed time because I haven’t written it yet. I shall cover that all in wrapup however. And I shall keep out a spare throwing spike for you, EE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Invocation Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I'm down to do round two when it starts, even if I'm not the best at puzzles and my team is still trying the meta (which I'm completely lost on) Edited January 28, 2019 by Invocation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Doomstick Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I probably won’t be available next weekend so if next round isn’t then, I’ll be grateful @MetaTerminal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaTerminal Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 When you say next weekend - this Saturday or the one after? I’ll do my best to run it either before or after the weekend (the one after). Rn I’m aiming for starting next Monday or Tuesday, but that may not be possible for what I’m planning. I’ll keep you all updated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerEZ Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Wow, this went a lot faster than I though it’d be paced. As much fun as this could be, I think I’ll have to dropout for a couple rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaTerminal Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 8 hours ago, The Last Post said: you should get a puzzle making team I’ve had a number of wonderful people offer to assist. Given that helping write would likely preclude you from playing, however, I’m likely to try and go it alone. @StrikerEZ No problem. I know a number of people who were planning to participate more than they did because of IRL reasons, so if it’s not feasible to keep up then this is the right decision. @Podman36 I’ve put you down on the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
