Question: Will there be private threads for each teams?

Suggestion: Getting a point for each egg that is found. I think it's not the same if a team found 0 or it found 4. Final egg could worth 3 points for example.

That is a great idea from preslavaa!!!

[linkinpark333]

yes, each team will be given a private thread. Regarding your idea, Im not too sure if itll work out exactly. I know that teams have skipped eggs in previous rounds. If they skip eggs, then they would lose points. However, I might be able to use that idea and adapt it. (Remember EEPs?) Instead of having each egg worth points, perhaps the number of eggs found after the game is over could create bonus points. But again, Im not too sure about that. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hidden point: The first team to find this page and post it in their private thread, will receive an advantage for the next round after it was found. These advantages can be an earlier round release, or a earlier hint, for example.

I'm not sure about this advantage thing... Once a team has an advantage (earlier round release, for example) they will have a bigger chance to get the next advantage and so on till the end of LP. What I want to say is that I'd prefer the rounds to be independent. But that's only me, if everyone else likes the idea, leave it as it is.

And a question: when does a round end? After the walkthrough is uploaded?

[Grego]

Yes i also think like you i dont like that advantage thing... Want each round to be indepent no hints just for ones..or earlier releases

[linkinpark333]

The advantage would be spread out (just like a random bonus)
but hey, if you dont want any of it thats fine.

About an hour ago I tried to post in our team's private thread and the post hasn't appeared yet... I think I saw a message saying something like "thread needs to be approved by a mod" but it disappeared so quickly...

I've read the FAQ about Post New Thread: "you may need the right permissions to do this". Do I not have the needed permissions?

I am going to look into it. It's likely an error in the forum settings.

edit: no error in the forum settings. Our anti-spam add-on put your post in moderation because it thought it was spam. This only happened one time before with not spam. Not too sure what triggered it. I am going to see if I can adjust things to prevent this from happening again. Our apologies for the inconveniences.

I approved your thread and merged it with the one that Wilbert made since they have the same subject.

Question: is it mandatory to have a Facebook account to solve (some of the) rounds?

[linkinpark333]

no.

Destination point: at the end of each round, there will be a required picture to take to end the round.

From the rule above, a round ends only when the pic is taken.
Suppose one team has the solve, but no chance to take the pic. If they post the walkthrough, they give away the solve to the other teams... So the only thing they can do is wait for another team to solve and get the pic.
Am I right?

Another thing, I think the "Edit Post" should be disabled in the private threads...

And last, about the time stamp, the forum is ambiguous: 2 hours ago, 1 day ago... Is there a setting to change that to hh:mm:ss? Couldn't find it...

[linkinpark333]

Round ending pic: Yes. I noticed how there was an issue with this round picture. Therefore, there might be an amendment on that. (Ill get that fixed) But, Im assuming Invasion did the same thing
Edit Post: Nothing that can be done I don't think, It's a GamersHood Feature. Im assuming that the editing posts is for the time.
Time Stamp: Once again, I don't think so. It's Gamershood.
Any questions related to a GamersHood feature might have to be asked to a Gamershood Mod that is famillar with the format.

I found another question to ask

Suppose one team has the solve and the pic, but can't make the video. They post the pic and the walkthrough. The round ends (because they posted the pic) so no teams can get bonus points. Right?

[linkinpark333]

Hmm. Yes it would be. However, Im wondering if that can be changed too. (Dont want to be identical to invasion ) Another thing Ill have to figure out.
Now I have to rethink the pic/video order format.
