- [11:47 AM] qwerx3: welp
_
- [2:02 PM] Granola: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PUZZLE HUNT
_
- [4:53 PM] DragonFogel: OH WHAT
_
- [10:24 PM] qwerx3: :/
_
- [11:33 PM] qwerx3: :|
_
- [11:47 PM] Sruixan: oh bloody hell really now
_
- [1:26 AM] Sruixan: because:
- [1:27 AM] Sruixan: (I just did a palms-up shrug I'll concede that doesn't translate well)
_
- [2:31 AM] Akumu: what
- [2:31 AM] Akumu: that sounds awful
- [2:38 AM] Akumu: ugh
_
- [12:46 PM] Sruixan: do you think
- [12:46 PM] Sruixan: given especially that I've just found I can drag the coloured text
- [12:46 PM] Sruixan: that they really fucked up
- [12:47 PM] qwerx3: facepalm intensifies
_
- [12:51 PM] Sruixan: twitch
[1:03 PM] Sruixan: urgh
_
- [7:36 PM] DragonFogel: Ugh.
_
- [12:41 AM] Akumu: What else does this dang puzzle want us to do
[12:46 AM] Sruixan: suffer
_
- [2:05 AM] qwerx3: that's ok, i can confirm these puzzles aren't great
_
- [2:16 AM] Sruixan: why
_
- [5:04 PM] Sruixan: oh hnrgh
_
- [7:28 PM] Sruixan: flailing
_
- [7:39 PM] DragonFogel: Maybe we should just make a list of "how not to make your puzzle hunt frustrating for the wrong reasons" and distribute it to various organizers.
[7:39 PM] DragonFogel: (then they'll find new ways to do it)
[7:43 PM] DragonFogel: Honestly, I've hit a point of strong apathy about this hunt, and I say this even though we're likely to finish in the top ten or so (I haven't actually checked where we are right now because, as I said, apathy).
[7:43 PM] Sruixan: yeah my "let's look at this" lasted about ten minutes before succumbing to apathy
[7:43 PM] Sruixan: we're fourth, with no way of getting into third
[7:44 PM] DragonFogel: How is it we feel so drained in a hunt where we have fourth place.
[7:45 PM] Sruixan: we could probably stay in fourth if we got another solve or two, depending on how drained Magpie are feeling
_
- [7:54 PM] DragonFogel: If we change our team name it will be to "why do we keep doing this to ourselves".
[7:54 PM] DragonFogel: Unless someone else takes that one first, I guess.
_
- [8:03 PM] DragonFogel: There are teams going "how the heck is Team Eagle Time doing so well".
[8:03 PM] DragonFogel: Which I don't know the answer to either.
[8:04 PM] DragonFogel: Other than "everyone else is doing worse".
_
- [8:06 PM] Akumu: Hint the extraction you jerks
[8:07 PM] Akumu: You jackanapes
[8:07 PM] Akumu: You buffoons
_
- [1:35 PM] Akumu: I swear to god
[1:35 PM] Akumu: We get it
[1:35 PM] Akumu: It's [SPOILER]
[1:35 PM] Akumu: We got that on day one
[1:35 PM] Sruixan: morning aks
[1:36 PM] Akumu: Aaaaagh
_
- [5:31 PM] Sruixan: strictly speaking we could theoretically solve another puzzle
[5:31 PM] Sruixan: but: pfft
_
- [7:06 PM] Sruixan: WHAT IS REQUIRED OF ME
_
- [7:31 PM] DragonFogel: Good luck with reading the organizers' minds.
