@Team 3

Alright, strategy. Previous games have made clear that the team that plans well, wins. The Christmas scavenger hunt saw the winning team well placed to go on a knockout run of the outer districts hunting high value cards. Battle for Zone 1 saw my team win with a few pre-planned routes and a flexible strategy. Manchester saw the team with a minimised travel time strategy win.

07:44

This one is very luck of the draw, but I think that trying to be within range of one of the lines going to the districts is going to be important, because this is won or lost on the high value cards

Manchester also was helped with being in a vc call with help desk pretty much all day. Not sure how that'll work with the Tube but we can give it a shot

Not sure we have a virtual helpdesk this time around, do we?

07:58

I mean, not one that's part of our team

Yeah I didn't think so, they're just verification

08:12

I like the idea of keeping central for mobility outwards and bets on high value cards like you say (edited)

@Helpdesk ^ that working correctly?

Yep

Would probably be fine to let Mediocre spectate from the helpdesk by the way, he was on virtual helpdesk for the Manchester game, he's cool

This is the correct link^^

ehhhhhhh we're already implementing the strategy for the previous deck

09:39

Gonna be a slow start

09:39

We had to get rid of the early buff cards, yeah?

09:40

@Helpdesk ?

Yes, if they were in the starting hand get rid of them

Yea

Done

@Helpdesk what is the definition of gate line? We’re at Waterloo

It's the ticket barrier

09:43

To go to the platform

Can we do it at waterloo underground station?

09:43

It just says Waterloo station so it technically counts? (edited)

@Helpdesk Could you assist us with a link to the diamondgeezer random London generator?

10:29

We can't find it based on instructions

10:29

We have a random wheel generator which will have the same effect

On it, one moment

10:30

We have the link

10:31

@ratt

wrong thing

10:32

that's for us to use for ship this card

Oops sorry

ratt

@Helpdesk Could you assist us with a link to the diamondgeezer random London generator?

https://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2018/03/random-tourist-inspiration-generator.html

Neither are specifically boroughs

10:35

Is that okay?

10:35

Would appreciate a quick answer because we're about to head for the station

I am unable to find the link - lets use the link above hten

Would this work? https://spinthewheel.app/boroughs-of-london

BOROUGHS OF LONDON | Spin the Wheel - Random Picker

Spin the wheel to randomly choose from these options: City of London, City of Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington, Camden, Brent, Ealing, Hounslow, Richmond, Kingston, Merton, Sutton, Croydon, Bromley, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley, Havering, Barking and Dag...

looks good to me

1

Saves us from trying to extract boroughs from locations

10:39

We got Richmond twice

10:39

Good luck and fair game or spin again?

spin again - 5 boroughs!

1

so just for reference the boroughs are richmond, islington, kingston, greenwich and ~~southwark~~ (edited)

@Helpdesk do you have the list for this?

I will see

12:02

I can't find it

12:02

Hang on

AVUNCULAR ENERGY

@Helpdesk do you have the list for this?

waiting for a response on this. can't find it myself

Can we discard and pull another?

AVUNCULAR ENERGY

@Helpdesk do you have the list for this?

AVUNCULAR ENERGY

Can we discard and pull another?

@Helpdesk do tube stations count?

12:21

Also hi we’re cursed

Reminder: the option to take a rest period begins 06/07/2024 12:30!

12:22

It specifies rail

AVUNCULAR ENERGY

@Helpdesk do tube stations count?

i'd say no

Deveroonie

i'd say no

Elizabeth line count?

Awesome

ratt

Elizabeth line count?

elizabeth line definitely counts

Drew two by accident, discard one of them?

discard and put back into deck

Done

@Helpdesk we have been buffed

12:53

We chose the team that isn’t stuck

That would be team 1 (edited)

We chose team 1

@Helpdesk would the beech street tunnel be a valid tunnel to ride on a bus under? It’s a tunnel under buildings instead of the earth (edited)

13:37

https://www.layersoflondon.org/map/records/beech-street-tunnel

Beech Street tunnel

Most of Beech Street is in effect a tunnel under the Barbican Estate. On 18 March 2020 the street became the UK's first "zero emission street", only allowing access to pedestrians, cyclists, and zero emission vehicles.This remained in effect until September 2021, and in December that year members of the City of London corporation voted for a pub...

13:37

Under the barbican

@Helpdesk would the beech street tunnel be a valid tunnel to ride on a bus under? It’s a tunnel under buildings instead of the earth (edited)

as long as it's more than 200m I don't see a problem with it

in that case all looks good

Thanks!

Yes.

@Team 3 do you know what card you want to swap?

Just deciding now

this is the other team's hand. try and decide by 14:09 (edited)

We want late train

1

Swapping with.? (edited)

We’re giving them Leytonstone

alright

AVUNCULAR ENERGY

We’re giving them Leytonstone

ok, discard Leytonstone from your hand

AVUNCULAR ENERGY

We’re giving them Leytonstone

if you just drew another card discard it -- your seventh card is the late train card

belle

if you just drew another card discard it -- your seventh card is the late train card

@Helpdesk We accidentally didn’t do this, we have 7 in our hand. We drew a buff for an extra point as one of the cards. We will complete our next challenge, NOT buff it, and then also not draw a new card to compensate

Would Haringey by any chance count as an outer suburb?

Haringey counts as Outer London yes

Hello, we want to ship a card

15:07

Address please

15:07

@Helpdesk

ratt

Hello, we want to ship a card

to where

You have to give us an address I think

15:08

Right?

idk

ratt

Address please

111 Scrubs Lane, NW10 6QU

where is that

So when it says we must go to that address, does that mean we can't finish the game before going there?

15:11

Or just that we need to finish it for the points?

I would say that it's just for the points but I'll confirm

ratt

So when it says we must go to that address, does that mean we can't finish the game before going there?

just confirmed, visiting the address is mandatory to complete the game so you must factor it in. you can complete other challenges while doing this one though

15:16

you can just take a picture of the street sign and it will count

belle

just confirmed, visiting the address is mandatory to complete the game so you must factor it in. you can complete other challenges while doing this one though

It does not say this on the card?

15:23

I figured it’s same rules as ship this card from battle 4 america?

15:23

They didn’t complete it then

i confirmed it with formulaotaku who made the deck

It's a very pretty building

16:04

@Helpdesk hiii need help

What with

We forgot to draw a card after the Alexandra palace

Oh

16:20

Draw one now

We just drew this curse after

16:20

Oh

Should be fine if we don't apply that to anything?

Yes

1

Do we have to apply it to a challenge?

Yea

Ok so basically we can apply it to a challenge and sacrifice both the curse and the challenge?

So we apply it to a useless card like the 5 borough one, and then we can discard the curse and redraw

16:24

Do we get to discard the 5 borough one as well?

yeah you discard the challenge as well

After 30 minutes or immediately?

at 16:50

16:26

as it's 30 minutes from drawing the curse

Can we discard the curse immediately since we applied it?

no, keep it in your hand until it expires

Rerolling cards now
