I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that I can dedicate more time to the game.
The bad news is I just got made redundant.

Yeah, the government handout is better than if they made me part time instead so I'm going to be ok short term. Just shitty long term.

Unless you have any serious concerns, I would like to be the spotter. I am generally pretty good at recognising architecture styles and road sign styles and am familiar with the platform.
When it does come time to do it. I think having wikipedia, google maps, and a translator are going to be most useful. If you can pull up a map of which side of the road people drive on, that would be a good idea too.
The main sources of information are street signs and ambient things. I also think I have looked at nearly every single solo image and small network (You can get stuck in that sometimes there is a single street of google street view you can get placed on) so I should be able to have a good idea there. OH, on that note, if you hit the button on google maps, you can get a layout of all of the streetview, so we can catch those networks.

Unfortunately, our friends have passed out of the eliminator. However Zod leaving is a good sign. I think if we were to win immunity here, we would be wanting to split up D7 and trying to steer the vote to the new Hybrid.

Also bear in mind, I will see this as a personal failing. This challenge should be winnable for me without you, so if I lose it with you it will be really really poor on my part.

oooooo maybe downloading a russian keyboard might be a good idea.
I'm just thinking of areas we could get stuck, and Russia can be rough, especially given the range of styles and that most signs will be written only in their letter system.

I've never played before, so by all means be the Spotter. You tell me what you'd need me to do and I will help. I do know very basic Cyrillic so I may be able to help with the Russian or Ukranian there. But all your ideas seem very good. Do you have a preferred time frame in which to do this? Can't tonight, but tomorrow I should be good?
And yup, Zod and Ulysses are gone, so that kinda makes this easier I think.

With the whole no job thing I am pretty available. This post is just after 1pm my time.
I can do from about 9am my time to about 5pm my time. Then available again from about 8pm my time to 1am my time.

I could it during your morning, yeah. That's evening. For sake of ease, I'm EDT. But I can make later times work if they are better for you. If I mathed right, about 10-noon your time is likely best for me.

Would you like to lock in Kirby as spotter and Susan as navigator? Would you like a chatzy made for your currently planned start time?
|

Post by Susan on Mar 24, 2020 5:59:37 GMT
Yes to the first. Maybe to the second? It would definitely be faster.

Post by Kirby on Mar 24, 2020 6:31:40 GMT
Yeah, a chatzy would be good.

Just thinking of other things to prep. A map of Africa colour coded with which empire they were colonised by. I know some bits and pieces, but not being European it's something I've just discovered per chance anecdotally than something I have properly studied.

I just woke up, Can we look at starting on the next hour?

Post by Susan on Mar 24, 2020 23:20:29 GMT
Absolutely. Like, I'm here from now until late probably. So we can start whenever you are good to do so Making sure you're awake enough is important.

I knew it.
Kinda sucks because we did get a really hard one, but it's all g. We needed to get perfect, and looks like no one got any of the impossible scenarios. D12 is interesting though. Wenya is making it to final three.

Post by Kirby on Mar 26, 2020 4:54:23 GMT
So like obviously, we want the other two in the eliminator.
But we gotta work out how that happens. And who to put primary and who to put secondary. D7 will especially want to stick together. But I think there is a chance that we are seen as the weakest option, and therefore, if D12 stays quiet it forces D3 and D7 to cross vote primary.

Post by Susan on Mar 26, 2020 5:06:56 GMT
Oh for sure, I'd sorta already been suggesting to Tetra that 7 and 3 should be in, so hopefully it uh works out? We'll have to see, I've only heard from 12 so far this phase.
