That's why I was so inactive. 5 hours ago, Snipexe said: Earlier is better yes. I’ll move the start time forward, then - let’s open sometime 3-5pm on Friday afternoon Cali time. 3 hours ago, I am a stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! said: I’m not available this weekend:( That’s unfortunate. The majority has spoken, though - and you could probably rejoin in time to play the entirety of the second round. Given the earlier start, a draft for teams will go up today, everybody. If you want to sign up, do so soon!

If you start at 3 to 5 PT tomorrow you will have two more very active players who will miss the first 24 hours plus.

How about a Saturday Cali start (24 hours later)? I’m fairly certain you’re available then, and hopefully it’s early enough for @xinoehp512 and @Snipexe.

MetaTerminal he/him Posted May 23, 2019 Author Posted May 23, 2019 First draft of new teams. People requested a shuffle and balance, so I have done a randomised shuffle and then tried to account for solving power. Tell me if you’re happy with balance, and your teammates. Team 1: @Ghanderflaffle @Babilarian Darkeyes @MistCLOAKed Mountains @xinoehp512 Team 2: @Furamirionind @Snipexe @Gancho Libre @RShara @AonEne Team 3: @NotarySojac @Exalted Dungeon Master @ebfritz @I am a stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1

Gancho Libre he/him Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Sorry. Got ninja'd, and my computer didn't let me edit. 2
Ghanderflaffle she/her Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I'm good with my team. I only know xino but I'll probably get along with everyone. Let's go team!
Furamirionind They/Any/All Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I was concerned with Team 2's ability, as I have -1 SPR (solving power rating), but now with Gancho we should be good I think. : )

One team has 5 people, and I won’t be available till Monday night (CA) so I think I should be on the 5 person team

The other thing is that I tried to balance experienced players across the board (three per team) and I’m afraid that matchups like Exalted+Fura or Exalted+RShara will give that team undue advantage, and swapping you for a new player will mean the third team is down to two previous players. Snip will also be going inactive (not sure when) so by the week the second team will be down a player. My thinking now is that we could move Snip to your team so you have consistently four players, but that depends on how the second team feels about losing that experience. (I think they’ll be fine, but they are better judges. And obviously we should ask what @Snipexe thinks and when he’ll go inactive.) Edited May 23, 2019 by MetaTerminal

Exalted Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I don't have any problems with where I ended up. Go Team 3!
MetaTerminal he/him Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 All PMs have been sent. Everyone (with the exclusion of Snip, who will be added to their PM momentarily) should have received their Team PM. If you have signed up, and have not yet received a PM, let me know. Signups are still open, and will only close when the first round is released in just over 24 hours time. In addition, I have discovered that I will be unavailable to receive answers for several hours after the first round opens - hopefully that won’t present any logistical issues, but I’m just letting you know ahead of time that your first few answers may not be checked immediately.

Looks like I will be around at least some of this weekend! Can I still jump in a team? I do not know what I am doing, but that rarely stopped me
AonEne he/him Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I have no preferences on how the teams go, personally, just to throw that out there.

Also, new players, if you have no clue what’s going on, feel free to drop a line to either myself or experienced team members to ask for help to explain in more detail. This is a quite complex competition so you’re definitely not expected to understand everything. 11 minutes ago, AonEne said: I have no preferences on how the teams go, personally, just to throw that out there. Excellent! Make sure to check into your Team PM, the majority of your interaction with the competition and puzzles will happen there.
Moonrise Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Thank you @MetaTerminal I have participated in puzzle hunts before, just not in a forum setting. Or Sanderson themed. I look forward to it!
