Testing

I can see Team 1.

Hey just letting you know, I will basically be waking up to the game starting. I'll have my alarm set for 9:15am tomorrow but I'm absolutely shattered from work this week so apologies in advance if I'm not online straight away (edited)

1

Wait who's our second player?

uhhhh

19:14

I don't know

I think Otaku is one of them...

I know Mithent and Otaku are playing but I don't know which teams they're on

Clearly Otaku is on our team

19:16

Also, @Players ! Get your powerbanks! You'll need them. Manchester is a weird place and everyone's phones keeps dying there. (edited)

You've reminded me to charge my power bank even though I'm a VA

Fahmi Sack

Wait who's our second player?

Mithent and Kopites will probably play team 1 in person.

19:41

Me and Mediocre in Team 2.

19:41

Just haven't confirmed the roles yet

19:42

I'm here because I'm a server owner.

19:42

But I think I'll mute myself from here beforehand

Princess Anne opens Blue Peter garden in Salford

Im going to go be nosy listening on the other team chat

12:16

Have fun

Today has been a long time coming for us. Ever since we announced that we were gonna be moving the Blue Peter studios to Salford, everybody has asked "What about the garden? What about the garden? What about the garden?"

Corrie Scene: Person One: Next Person Two: According to my friend google, I believe you've got a flight to Frankfurt shortly. If you've got a seat, I'd like to book it and an onward flight to phnom Penh. Person One: Well, it's your lucky day. There is a seat. We'll have to get you checked in quickly though. You're close to the wire in terms of the cut-off time. How many bags are you checking in? Person Two: Cabin Only.

We need to head back to Central ASAP

12:32

They've got central

I don’t think it’s that important right now

12:33

We should be able to get more points at other boroughs

12:33

And we don’t really want to get in a war of attrition

Thoughts on rest period, please see general for messages from team 2

@KopitesForever wheee are you?

Mithent

@KopitesForever wheee are you?

I’m back in the gift shop

Ball game Prem Stadium Clap NHS Sale Hale

13:09

Disused stn

Do we know where the Trafford general hospital is?

a bit too out of the way for 1 point

Cool, so to confirm our plan is to go sale and hale try and get some challenges which can be completed anywhere to flip Trafford and make sure they can’t turn it back over (edited)

1

I believe so

KopitesForever

Cool, so to confirm our plan is to go sale and hale try and get some challenges which can be completed anywhere to flip Trafford and make sure they can’t turn it back over (edited)

Yes then we flip central, that way we get an 8 point swing

then head to Tameside after lunch

Could we potentially see if there’s a geocache near the sale/hale stations?

13:40

What does it actually look like?

Plan of action: Tram to Altrincham, Walk to Hale, and get a bus outside the train station. Dance Somewhere Rush to Tameside Tame an animal, buy at ikea

Google maps allowed during break to check ratings of places to eat but not for challenge purposes

If we get the tram to altrincchan, how far do we have to go before we’re out of the borough boundary

Is Altrincham outside Trafford

Mithent

Is Altrincham outside Trafford

No

What is the first stop on the altrincham line which is outside of the Trafford borough?

We are heading back towards Central as we can't figure out how to cross a borough boundary going to Altrincham

A57m is motorway

would a sign like that count?

Yes

rather than this

Make sure it’s all blue and white like that so not an advanced sign (edited)

(taken from google maps)

I would say that second one is an advanced sign

1

I’m excited for the dance

We are going back to central Manchester with the plan of doing the motorway, the statue and TPE with that all being achievable before getting a train east

No TPEs at the station and the statue seems a bit dark to do a challenge with

How would you guys feel if we did make the 4 challenges below the gap also part of the game

AliW

How would you guys feel if we did make the 4 challenges below the gap also part of the game

We have a majority vote and agreed to include the 4 challenges

Thank you

Just to confirm, we’re going to Ashton under lyme?

yes

How do we feel about ending the game at Manchester airport? There are fairly regular trains from picadilly and doing it at the end would halve our travel time and give us three big points in a likely contested area at the end?

If we have enough time at the end post ashton I think that would work

What would be the last departure time from picadilly we’d have to get to make that work?

KopitesForever

What would be the last departure time from picadilly we’d have to get to make that work?

Tameside Tasks: IKEA (2) Tame an Animal (3) Dukinfield (3) Hyde (3) (edited)

15:48

If there's enough time we'll do the Airport too

KopitesForever

What would be the last departure time from picadilly we’d have to get to make that work?

It would be the 17:28 that gets in at 17:44.

Are we finishing at 18:00 or 18:12 @AliW

18:12

ellasophia2004

It would be the 17:28 that gets in at 17:44.

Does this affect things?

Yes. But not by much

15:55

THere is a 17:36 that arrives at 18:01

Is Ben Doyle at Ashton under Lyme station?

3

yes

@Mithent I’m next to the exit doors

16:26

Can someone find us a cup de sac near the ikea

@AliW Join vc plz

@AliW Can you confirm that the dead end curse is car dead end AND path or just either one of the two (so can be a driving dead end but can still access on foot)?

I am I can’t talk

16:45

Reading

any form of confirmation, not expecting you to join vc

So you’re asking if a road could end but if there’s still a path if that would count?

yeah basically

I’m reading it as both need to end

see I'm reading it as the either means it's either one of road or path

It must not be possible to proceed any further on either a public road or public footpath/bridleway. Either implies both to me

16:48

Sorry

I thought you would go for this one at a 6 minute walk earlier tbh

we can get a challenge done soon after we complete the curse so

Ah makes sense

@AliW we're attmpting Hide and Seek in Hyde but unsure of the rule/requirement

What’s up

Do we need to find the person hiding?

The player with the tracker is given two minutes to hide in Hyde. They must no longer be visible to the other player(s). Helpdesk gives you details of location sharing which you can use to track down the person hiding.

17:40

Yes

17:40

Well

17:40

Mithent goes and hides

17:40

Then you guys speak on voice chat to help kopites find him

I can’t have my earphones in at the moment because of rain so just give me clues in chat

2

Photo of him being found I guess

17:41

Video that he’s not visible after the. 2 mins

17:41

Then photo once found

Keep walking down you guys aren't in hyde quite yet

We are at Hyde north station and passed a welcome to Hyde sign on our way in

Okay the tracker is being weird

2 minutes of hiding in a wet Hyde are done

Unfortunately Mithent isn’t in Hyde

Ok @Mithent reconvene at the station?

17:45

How long till the next train to picadilly?
