RE: Post making contest
This is update #289.

In case you've been wondering why there haven't been any updates since the start of the CPH, here are all the pertinent things we've said these past few days...
  • [11:47 AM] qwerx3: welp
    _
  • [2:02 PM] Granola: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PUZZLE HUNT
    _
  • [4:53 PM] DragonFogel: OH WHAT

    _
  • [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
    _

    [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: 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.
