@Virtual Assistant Testing the role and this channel.

Decided to start creating the section for the Manchester Game with this channel as I know a lot of you aren't part of the Dev section. Will share more info on stuff done so far. (edited)
18:45
@AliW Almost forgot. I've added you this role just in case and also I believe you're also the most suitable to be a physical helpdesker as well.

I mean nobody else will see this section, plus it's only temporary.

I've booked my train tickets today as I didn't get any offers! To be honest virtual help desk sounds perfect as I'll hopefully be less tired for the next day!

Some other ideas:
  • Perform one of "the cube" challenges outside the cube live
  • Find a specific book in a public library
  • recreate the classic Manchester photo
Image attachment
21:15
  • Perform one of the 7Sins outside of the bar
  • Something around the different coloured plaques
  • Find 3 (or 5) different names for Bap/Barm/Barm Cake/Breadcake/Bun/Cob/Muffin/Roll/Tea Cake

The 3rd one was obviously mentioned before but isn't considered appropriate for a targeted all age event.
Avatar
AliW 02/04/2024 21:20
Ah, that's very fair
21:22
Does that discount any challenges to do with the first dates restaurant too then?
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 02/04/2024 21:37
Probably, although not as explicit or insensitive, I do remember having to remove alcohol based challenges for our first game

Lining up the difficulty pointers for new challenges:
  • Perform one of the 7Sins outside the 7sins bar (1)
  • Find 3 (or 5) different names for Bap/Barm/Barm Cake/Breadcake/Bun/Cob/Muffin/Roll/Tea Cake (1)
23:03
  • Perform one of "the cube" challenges outside The Cube live (1)
23:04
3 1 pointers on the way.

AliW 02/04/2024 23:04
I feel like the cube should probably be more, in that it will probably require acquiring some extra bits like balls at least or if not making something in order to do it with stuff on hand

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 02/04/2024 23:05
I mean, it's quite close to the borough of the city of Manchester
Avatar
AliW 02/04/2024 23:06
It's definitely your call, just thought I'd double check
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 02/04/2024 23:10
Yeah, just to clarify. I think some of us organisers including MSP would agree pointers would be aligned based on distance.

AliW 02/04/2024 23:22
To help me out with coming up with new tasks then, how do the location ones work, for instance I could say:
  • Find a place with "smash" in the name and describe your favourite fighter from the video game fighting series (looks to be both one in town and a few on the outskirt areas) Or should we look for some that are very specifically "Bolton"
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 02/04/2024 23:32
It can be anything that involves with the borough name or have any connection or connotation with the borough.
23:34
And tbh, we might just implement them like with the global challenges and not like split them or something
23:34
Like a normal scavenger format, just with the "remoteness" and stuff.

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 03/04/2024 18:51
CURSE: Visit a park CURSE: You are blocked from completing a challenge for 10 mins CURSE: Require team to ride a bus before completing their next challenge. CURSE: You will receive no points for your next challenge.
18:52
Adding in 4 curses for now (edited)
18:52
Tbf we still haven't completely agreed to a framework. I know Mithent is working on something.
18:53
Besides, we have like just over a week to go and I still don't know if we're even gonna use the card designs which can take a lot of work, probably a few days to do this.

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 03/04/2024 19:01
BUFF. Team will receive double points for your next challenge. BUFF: Team will receive an extra point for your next challenge.
19:01
Adding in 2 Buffs.
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 03/04/2024 19:09
It would be easier to just do a normal format.
19:09
There is no guarantee on whether the number of location based challenges would be sufficient enough.
19:10
Which is shame because I think Mithent is trying to innovate things.
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 03/04/2024 19:22
Also, whether we're gonna implement coins for the curses/buffs because this would require working on how many coins earned on challenges.

SPARES: Play an annoying or embarrassing song you can think of out loud Buy a pizza simply by the slice (Not take a full pizza and take the slice out of it.

Don't know if this is could be a curse or something: Prime Bus Before completing your next challenge you bust use a bus route with a Prime number above 10. The number may be followed by a letter, however, it may not be following a letter. E.g. X11 is not a valid route, but 11A is valid.

Could be challenge by itself too

Depends if we get the Wayfarer
Avatar
Fahmi Sack 05/04/2024 15:40
You can get the Wayfarer from Shudehill station. I used to get my monthly passes from there. But be there very early because the queues are usually massive.
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 05/04/2024 15:46
Don't think me and Ali would make to that side except maybe if we use that as starting point as we are going via Piccadilly Station. Not sure about the others but I know a couple are planning to stay.
15:46
Perhaps buy as e ticket?
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 05/04/2024 15:56
Ok turns out the Piccadilly office is shut, well, screw.
Avatar
Fahmi Sack 05/04/2024 16:50
Yeah the best way to get the Wayfarer ticket is actually from Shudehill station because I've not seen that option on tram machines and bus drivers had no clue how to issue one - although they have no issues accepting it.
16:52
You can buy the ticket up tl 3 days in advance so if anyone is going to be there the day before you could just get it then
Avatar
FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb 05/04/2024 17:20
Yeah I'd probably offer payback in cash to either Kopites or Mithent if they can buy them for us.
17:20
As sludehill is quite long and not really enough time to get there (edited)

Fahmi Sack 05/04/2024 19:31
Tops 13 minutes walk from Piccadilly station. 7 minutes from Gardens. Timed it myself.

20:14
Well our train isnt expected to arrive until quarter to 9.

So it's possible we could walk there and push the start time to 10am

have we got anything cricket related? (I feel like I've at least mentioned it but idk if it's in the deck) "Jimmy And a Son" (Jimmy Anderson) Outside Old Trafford cricket stadium, do a short sketch (no more than 10/15 seconds) featuring a Jimmy and a son (doesn't have to be Jimmy's son)
