@Helpdesk

gday

hello

before anything, this is definitely happening the first?

Yep

19:45

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ThIsGNpJyJTGwRzeRuH8BjfcrNaYVqDFRJ89VQFtAFI/edit?usp=drivesdk Gonna show you the challenges for the event. It is unfinished and I'll soon go through this again in case I need to improve or add any more challenges

Battle for Zone 1 Stations - Rules.docx

Battle for Zone 1 Stations – Rules + Gameplay Welcome to the Battle for Zone 1 Stations – seven hours of frantically running around Central London on a Saturday doing extremely silly things! The aim of the game is to have claimed the most stations at the end of the seven hours; you may claim stat...

19:50

You'll soon get the structure, however, we are looking at adding a few tweaks to the rules

19:50

Such as, we won't be using more unique challenges but rather anywhere challenges. (edited)

19:52

You can also check #game-general for the rules

19:53

Here. It's the more recent one we did last month (edited)

If anyone has any questions in regards to the challenges, please do let me know

21:17

Or the rules even.

21:17

Since i've been pretty much on and off preparing stuff

hello hello, i haven’t helpdesked before :) sad i haven’t been able to make it to games recently even though i live closer now but happy o can still help out

I'll be hosting a helpdesk FAQ and briefing a few days before the game (TBC) in #deleted-channel.

Seems like much of the challenge sheet has challenge titles not matching the description

MediocreLogarithm257

Seems like much of the challenge sheet has challenge titles not matching the description

It's unfinished. The ones in darker green are the ones that are finished

So what happens if there's a tie in a battle?

08:52

Maybe I should put challenge suggestion here. I think some form of 20 questions can also work as a challenge.

20 questions?

Are we using the station specific questions as well as the ones listed in the sheet above?

Yep, when a team claims a station, the Helpdesk will randomly generate a challenge from the sheet (edited)

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

20 questions?

We come up with a thing. The players have to guess what it is by asking yes/no questions. Probably make a theme so it’s easier to guess

Probably, though knowledge can vary depending on the theme.

10:18

It might be worth a battle challenge but still.

MediocreLogarithm257

So what happens if there's a tie in a battle?

Tbh not to sure, maybe do like a Sudden death thing?

MediocreLogarithm257

Maybe I should put challenge suggestion here. I think some form of 20 questions can also work as a challenge.

Why not do 20 questions on Guess the population of any random city?

@Helpdesk Which one of y'all would like to take the lead?

The lead for what?

For this whole thing

08:26

Chief Helpdesk

08:26

Or something

As much as I'd like to, my inactivity for some of the day would impact things I think

So I'm reviewing the challenges, and what I think can be improved: Hide and Seek isn't a good challenge since the hider would just hide in the most obvious spot to make it easy. Coinflip and dice roll should be "at most once per second" instead of "once per second" since it usually takes longer than a second if you use a physical option. Maybe it should specify only 1 person doing it instead of the interval? Buy a meal deal should be changed to just finding one because it doesn't change the game too much. I personally like changing it to finding one that isn't from the most common options (Tesco, Sainsbury's, etc. define this before game starts), but not sure if it can get too hard. Watch a film/video can cost too much data for some people

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

@Helpdesk Which one of y'all would like to take the lead?

Firsttimer and new to the challenges. I'd argue someone more experienced would be a better fit

not sure if we need a leading role if we're in a call together and getting to conclusions as a team ?

I’ve just realised I may not be as free as I thought. May need to have dinner outside. (time zones, so around noon in UK) Should be fine for the rest of the day though. Will have to wait till the last few days to confirm (edited)

I am still free for the whole day, but also don't want to lead as this is my first time

I'd also argue that buy a meal deal shouldn't get picked as a challenge right after the rest period where people should hopefully eat something to get some energy

in case it's not getting changed to just "find a meal deal". might consider a specific time range for chosen challenges too

11:06

or just keep it as is for the evilnes of some unlucky team having to eat right after launch break haha

Beni

I'd also argue that buy a meal deal shouldn't get picked as a challenge right after the rest period where people should hopefully eat something to get some energy

in case it's not getting changed to just "find a meal deal". might consider a specific time range for chosen challenges too

Tbh I've been trying to reduce a number of challenges were money is spent.

11:19

And besides, a meal deal isn't generally a hot meal so let's say you could buy something but eat later as they always tend to be packaged.

I remember seeing random restaurants calling their sets “meal deal” before. I’m referring to those for “not common options”. Seems like Lidl is fine since there’s barely any in Z1

MediocreLogarithm257

I remember seeing random restaurants calling their sets “meal deal” before. I’m referring to those for “not common options”. Seems like Lidl is fine since there’s barely any in Z1

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and M&S exists.

I mean banning all of those for the challenge

Nah, it would make no sense.

11:43

Besides I have been contemplating removing it

I see

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

@Helpdesk Which one of y'all would like to take the lead?

i fear i dont know enough about the game to do so yet

riri

i fear i dont know enough about the game to do so yet

All I can say is it will start from around 9am, however we may make the ending time more flexible depending on the progress of the game

I guess for population battle, we can have "guess the population of a city. 1 (or 3?) guess from each team. Largest without going over wins." (edited)

~~Remove "most birds" since I don't want to count again~~

MediocreLogarithm257

I guess for population battle, we can have "guess the population of a city. 1 (or 3?) guess from each team. Largest without going over wins." (edited)

Or how about, the closest to population wins the round, and if they draw, they draw the round.

15:31

Then the one with most wins, wins the whole battle

Sure. I think it's best to make closest mean factor (guess/actual or actual/guess) considering how it went last time.

@Helpdesk I will be hosting a briefing and training for Helpdesk on 30 January 2025 21:00:00. Please react accordingly if you'll be attending. It will take place in #deleted-channel. The agenda for the meeting: @FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb will go over the details of the rules, and briefly introduce you to the challenges. I will go through:

A brief introduction to Helpdesk, the role and responsibilities
Tasks you may need to perform during the game
Any systems/applications we will be using
An expected overview of the game day's timeline
Questions you may have If you have helpdesked before for any previous games, you may already know much of what will be said, however, it is still recommended you join the meeting.

Fahmi Sack pinned a message to this channel. 18/01/2025 20:01

For the Hangman challenge, best 3 out of 3 wins? Or best 4 out of 5? Or whoever have most wins?

Most cars from manufacturers from a region: Come to think of now. I'm now unsure if anyone in Helpdesk are even car-savvy.

Get starred on JLTD Server: Something to discuss with Helpdesk and to inform the Server mods beforehand.

The time is just too off for me unfortunately

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

For the Hangman challenge, best 3 out of 3 wins? Or best 4 out of 5? Or whoever have most wins?

I like best of 3

For the get starred battle, maybe a poll would be better

Poll like what?

A poll for which picture is better instead of starring the posts

Write the UK'S longest placename 5 times?

MediocreLogarithm257

So I'm reviewing the challenges, and what I think can be improved: Hide and Seek isn't a good challenge since the hider would just hide in the most obvious spot to make it easy. Coinflip and dice roll should be "at most once per second" instead of "once per second" since it usually takes longer than a second if you use a physical option.

I personally like changing it to finding one that isn't from the most common options (Tesco, Sainsbury's, etc. define this before game starts), but not sure if it can get too hard. Watch a film/video can cost too much data for some people

Going back to this: 1. I'm not sure how Hide and seek can even be improved. 2. Watching a film/video, WiFi do exist in certain places.

For a battle, maybe Wordle? Lowest sum of 3 rounds wins. We can use Hello Wordl for it if we trust the players, or generate random words and then they send guesses in Discord if we don’t

A word-guessing game

MediocreLogarithm257

I guess for population battle, we can have "guess the population of a city. 1 (or 3?) guess from each team. Largest without going over wins." (edited)

are these cities in the uk, or all over the world?

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

@Helpdesk Which one of y'all would like to take the lead?

I've not done this before, so dont think I could

Sushi

are these cities in the uk, or all over the world?

Probably anywhere in the world.

I've changed the Helpdesk team colour to differentiate better against Team 2.

MediocreLogarithm257

How does this work?

22:33

I never played this

currently trying to think of a 4th curse. Think I give up for this.

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

How does this work?

How does wordle work? The aim is to figure out a secret 5 letter word by guessing other 5 letter words. After each guess, you'll be given clues:

meand correct letter in the correct position.

means the letter is in the word but a different position. ◼️ letter is not in the word. E.g. the word is Night and you guessed Ditch the returned clue would be ◼️

◼️

(edited)

It appears that its not raining on feb 1st, could be the case when the weather shifts a day but rather unlikely (edited)

Too early to forecast the weather right now.

22:13

That should be done Wednesday next week

I'm gonna take a break from doing the challenges, at least tomorrow.

22:30

We've got around 12 battle challenges so far.

How do we judge the 'recall a memory' challenge?

12:55

I'm a bit confused by that one to be honest

Realigning

How do we judge the 'recall a memory' challenge?

Anyone can come up with any memory they can think of in their lifetime, whether it's a rough memory or anything

13:31

Or something similar.

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

Anyone can come up with any memory they can think of in their lifetime, whether it's a rough memory or anything

How does someone demonstrate that they have done it?

Recording of course

I more meant that you can't prove that something is a memory

11:08

I think most people could probably talk about some plausible experience on command, regardless of whether it is a memory

I’d say it’s fine if the experience isn’t real, as long as it sounds plausible

Overall the challenge could be a good team bonding experience tbf

13:31

I just think it could benefit from being a bit more specific

I mean, remember when Ben came up with a wild dream back in Tag Eurit 2? (edited)

Also, you can in fact ask Mithent

Draft Rules: Welcome to the Battle for Zone 1 Stations Lite – The lite version of the original BFZ1. The aim of the game is to have claimed the most stations at the end of the eight hours; you may claim stations by either completing a challenge randomised from a list by Helpdesk or battling another team for a station you already own. When initiating a battle challenge, you must own 1 station adjacent to the station you are battling for. Adjacent means that it is possible to travel between the two stations with one single stop tube journey. Basic Rules The stations up for grab are all the tube stations in the Zone 1 area. You may only walk or use scheduled public transport (tubes, trains, buses) to get around. All members of your team should stay together at all reasonable times (barring e.g. toilet breaks). It is recommended to stay in contact with the helpdesk as much as possible to stay up to date on the state of play (e.g. staying informed of station claims and battle challenges). All challenges do not have to be completed near the station in question as long as a photo of your attempt is sent. The post event meeting point will be decided later.

18:28

Claiming A Station 1) Take a group selfie outside the station entrance/exit, with both the station name and all team members clearly visible, and send it to the helpdesk verification channel. This informs us you are attempting to claim that particular station. 2) Complete the challenge associated with the station. All team members must within reason complete the challenge, either individually (things like walking or riding a train) or as a collaborative effort (if it involves creating art or photographing something for example). 3) The burden of proof for completing a challenge is on your team; you will need to give us enough evidence to convince us. Failure to do so will leave the station unclaimed for the time being. Initiating A Battle Challenge 1) Take a group selfie outside the station entrance/exit, with both the station name and all team members clearly visible, and send it to the helpdesk verification channel. This informs us that you are attempting to battle for that station. 2) The helpdesk will ping the other team. Once both teams are informed of a battle challenge you will be given a time when the challenge starts, which includes a few minutes to reach a more favourable position. 3) Battle challenges have been designed to be objective - i.e. there should be a clear winner - but in case of dispute, the helpdesk's decision is final. Keep yourselves hydrated throughout the game and remember – the clock is ticking!

18:28

I've edited the rules slightly.

If anyone wants to hop on the lounge for a bit, feel free.

In the topic of longer challenge: Complete Okaihau Express Chain Each person contributes to the chain with just one word at a time. You must wait for two other people to contribute to the chain before you can contribute again. The lyrics are provided by helpdesk (https://discord.com/channels/1046644822859055164/1116786616602742858/1128396046700138576)

For location tracking we might be able to figure out a better solution where we can see all players on one map at the same time for this round? Any ideas anyone?

19:24

Having 3 google map windows for tracking open was a bit complicated, figuring out who is where and which window is which team...

I don't have any solutions in mind yet...

19:26

I suppose there's a theory but I'd need 2 volunteers with a google account to share their live locations to me simultaneously (edited)

19:27

Because if I'm not mistaken, if multiple people with Google Accounts share their location to someone with a Google Account, you could see them all on the same map

can help for a test

Cool one more?

helpdesk chat is quite limited with members, might want to ask in player chat or general

19:34

we can also just wait a bit i don't mind either way

If what I'm thinking about works, then I know how to set this up very easily

I can share my location for the test

Fahmi Sack

Because if I'm not mistaken, if multiple people with Google Accounts share their location to someone with a Google Account, you could see them all on the same map

That is what we tried, used the location Link from everyone but we could only see one at a time

How did you get it to work?

Beni and I shared our location to a third Google Account. Then I was able to see both out locations at the same time

With the tracking link?

Nope. It would require helpdesk to log into the third Google Account too (edited)

Ah we can just create a Helpdesk Google account then to log into

19:57

And all helpdeskers get the password

yes, and everyone sharing their location to that email adress

Exactly. That's already set up

Nice

Could there be issues with me logging in from the other side of the world?

No

do we have challenges that require people to do exercises ?

17:56

lost track of what the actual challenges will be due to too many sheets and talks about changes and stuff

17:57

I'd just argue that doing 50 squads for example and therefore making people sweat might not be ideal during this time of the year

17:58

with the context of not being able to change potential wet clothes for the rest of the day

It’d be good to have battles as a separate table to make the spreadsheet easier to use

Beni

I'd just argue that doing 50 squads for example and therefore making people sweat might not be ideal during this time of the year

I mean, more than 1 person can take part in it.

22:16

Also, should we give the players a "packing list" of things to bring? Like dice and stuff?

Max (v3rtico)

I have a couple of considerations / ideas for the challenges:

Let me look at them quickly before bed

One thing I noticed last time helpdesking was that everyone had a different way to send the challenges to the teams. How about we prepare "Game cards" for all challenges and paste them im the document so that we can copy and paste them into the discord chat with the team?

23:58

We used to do this tbh, though it would be a bit better without since we have the app

App?

Yes, the Mithent App

What is that?

I'll show tomorrow with an image, but rn I'm tired.

isn't the uk converting to the metric system ?

17:22

curiosity as foreigner

Beni

isn't the uk converting to the metric system ?

It's complicated

18:29

Tbf I'm not sure I've ever used the phrase 'a quarter mile'

i just recently heard that new street signs both display metric and imperial units

18:32

it really seems quite complicated but it seems as if metric is getting more and more common

Image attachment

I love "are you following EU regulations on the standardisation of food labelling?"

This is broadly correct, although I use stones and lbs for people's weight despite not being over 40 (yet), I think metric for people's heights is increasingly common, and I believe our milk is actually in round numbers of litres now

My study in uni requires me to use freedom units every so often unfortunately

Unless it's fresh cow's milk, then its still in pints

11:31

Also to add... Fuel is in Litres, but fuel efficiency is miles per gallon.

Decided to try the sense of time, and I got 1:00:31, 0:59:22, and 0:59:72. I timed it myself, but my eyes were closed.

(edited)

Average 0:59.75... pretty good!

I guess we limit the buffer time to, 1 second before and after?

3 seconds I'd say..

Fahmi Sack

3 seconds I'd say..

Why? It's currently at 2?

I also had the advantage that I can press the start/stop button exactly when I want, even though I wasn't looking

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

Why? It's currently at 2?

That's fine too

you're usually more calm when doing this at home but it depends on the person. Maybe on the street with distractions its a bit harder but i tried it 2 times as well and ended up within a second to 1 minute

08:29

I think the 2 seconds buffer is fair

I think Fahmi forgot to state the timezone down but I think it's UK time

does it say 10pm for you too ?

Nope, 21:00

Yes it's automatically converted to your timezone

Are we pregenerating challenges and/or making them the same among teams attempting the same station?

MediocreLogarithm257

Are we pregenerating challenges and/or making them the same among teams attempting the same station?

No and depends on the time they arrive/start the challenge. If 2 teams start the same station in a short span of time we will assign the same challenge

Okay

12:26

I should be fine with the start and end of the game tomorrow, but not the middle unfortunately

Have you gotten access from fahmi to the gmail including the link to the app we are using ?

Just sent it to him

Gonna bump in and ask. For a battle challenge, someone suggested about: Locating a visible geocache?

Whilst you familiarise yourselves with the app and documents, please remember to reset the app before the game, by unallocating all stations - just so no one gets confused.

Also, for math a minute? https://webmathminute.com/online-start

12:49

Gonna see if it works on phone

12:53

Math a minute: Both teams are to take part in a Math-a-Minute (Link provided by helpdesk). The team with the most correct answers wins. If both tied, both teams can start again.

only 1 member can do it or all members in a team with the best result counting ? (edited)

I like best in 5 minutes

Also, I think I forgot to mention in regards to the battle challenges that require voting on the main server, if you're on main server, i'd say just post both pics on the general chat and put a reaction to each of them and then just ask everyone to vote on, for example, which joke is funnier?

Beni

only 1 member can do it or all members in a team with the best result counting ? (edited)

Yeah one member

1

For Math Minute, we should specify the settings since this can happen otherwise

Image attachment

13:05

I'd say addition and subtraction, min 1, max 20, 50 questions, 1 minute

13:08

~~Good that I'm not playing. I don't want to get back to spending copious amounts of time on Math Minute again.~~

i hope thats mobile friendly lol

It's fine on mobile, although not ideal

Heads up: I've updated the challenges on the spreadsheets and the app

battle idea: staring contest: facetime with 1 person per team, the one to blink first loses.

13:17

can be a best of 3 with different member participating

Lag can be an issue though

what's the channel we can share these images on the main server ?

13:28

some channels need certain roles over there to allow making posts

13:29

ah i cant read

13:29

nvm

Beni

The main general chat, right?

13:32

On the main server

yeah i didn't properly read your message

battle idea: staring contest: facetime with 1 person per team, the one to blink first loses.

Harder to verify this way if it's on video

13:36

Oh, and to clarify for the voting challenges

13:36

VOTES FROM HELPDESK AND PLAYERS FROM ALL TEAMS DOESNT COUNT

2

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

Harder to verify this way if it's on video

true, was thinking of having a different member taking a video of the person staring in their phone and the screen visible. expect for the people to play fair but it's not easy if a dispute erupts

For Hangman, does helpdesk provide the word or a team provides the word?

would be funnier to give teams a minute or two to come up with 3 words they want to use for the enemy team, while we will play the actual game with each team then ?

Also, Wordle is spelt with an E, while the website to use is Hello Wordl (or we do it with Discord messages?) (edited)

we'll do it on discord, i remember there being a post about it a week ago

Okay. Do you have a list of valid Wordle words somewhere?

⬜

(edited)

I guess I can do it myself

something with square emojis as "hint" thingy (edited)

What's the win condition for Hangman? Fewest mistakes?

if both teams fail 3 times its a sudden death

14:22

but if both teams have 1 win and 2 losses then the its decided by least amount of guesses

How many mistakes is a fail?

"Wordle. Get 6 chances to guess a 5-letter word."

Oh. I was thinking of Hangman

MediocreLogarithm257

Oh. I was thinking of Hangman

forget my answer above then

haha

I think it's easier for Helpdesk to set up a word for each team

14:34

And quicker

14:34

Otherwise you'd need at least 2 mins for teams to come up with a word (edited)

We accidentally put 2 word games in the same discussion. Need to specify which one we're discussing (edited)

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

I think it's easier for Helpdesk to set up a word for each team

This is for Hangman

Are we still keeping the 5 minute preparation for these challenges?

14:36

Or less preparation time since you don't really have to prepare?

I'd say up to 5 mins or when both teams are ready (edited)

Okay

Using a website for Wordle makes the battle easier to set up, while doing it in Discord makes it hard (if not impossible) to cheat (edited)

14:55

For Hangman, I think the best way to score would be fewest mistakes (not equal to number of guesses because repeat letters in words) to make it consistent with how it's normally played (edited)

For Hangman, I think the best way to score would be fewest mistakes (not equal to number of guesses because repeat letters in words) to make it consistent with how it's normally played (edited)

I guess for each answer for Hangman it gets recorded so in case of a tie, winner can be determined through this.

Did we in the end decide to make the suggested changes to the geocache challenge (turn it into a battle challenge, and make it so that you have to take a photo of the geocache), or not?

15:07

If there's still scope to do this based on what we discussed, I would support it

We haven't, but we can

Btw @Fahmi Sack let me try and quickly finish off the battle challenges

19:15

I know it's a bit late, just was resting in bed to relive the bit of stress for tomorrow

Battle challenges aren't transferred over to the App, but it's more important that Helpdesk have access to them.

So it's a, they don't have to be added?

Realigning

Did we in the end decide to make the suggested changes to the geocache challenge (turn it into a battle challenge, and make it so that you have to take a photo of the geocache), or not?

Wouldn't it be tricky to find an actual visible geocache?

19:23

I don't know if there's a full gaurantee?

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

So it's a, they don't have to be added?

Helpdesk need to know the battles obv.. but it's just the challenges that are assignable in the app

Find a geocache: Both teams must find and locate a visible geocache. The first to find a visible geocache wins. NOTE: If this gets proven difficult or disadvantageous, then just take a picture of the actual location of the geocache with proof.

Idea for a battle challenge: Solve todays Metrodle. First Team to send the picture of the solved Metrodle into their verification chat wins.

I'm going to sleep now. Should have a bit of time to go through stuff tomorrow since time zones mean I wake up a few hours before game starts

Max (v3rtico)

Idea for a battle challenge: Solve todays Metrodle. First Team to send the picture of the solved Metrodle into their verification chat wins.

Teams just can't know about this challenge in advance since they could pre-solve it and we should allow them to use any means possible (tube map for example). If none of the teams can solve it a new challenge is generated (edited)

If someone plays it regularly and decides to play just before game starts as daily puzzle

MediocreLogarithm257

If someone plays it regularly and decides to play just before game starts as daily puzzle

That could happen but so could the wordle

For Wordle, we can generate custom Wordle puzzles with https://hellowordl.net

A word-guessing game

By the way, should we put the "solve a puzzle" challenge back in? "Acquire a free newspaper from any tube station and solve a puzzle on the puzzle page"

I'm neutral towards it. It isn't a bad challenge, but can be repetitive

MediocreLogarithm257

For Wordle, we can generate custom Wordle puzzles with https://hellowordl.net

Okay yeah that works

MediocreLogarithm257

For Math Minute, we should specify the settings since this can happen otherwise

@FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb remember to specify settings for Math Minute since this would be legal otherwise

There's not a full gaurantee you can find a newspaper for free

19:52

For a Scavanger hunt format though or something, yes

We have to go through every station and un-allocate all challenges

19:53

19:54

Still looking for those. Unfortunately the stations that have challenges assigned are not marked in any way

Okay I found and un-allocated all allocated challenges. Please make sure when you are testing that you un-allocate all challenges afterwards, because otherwise it is really hard to find what stations they have been allocated to

You see a part of the tube map without line colors or names. You must guess the marked station. If you guess wrong it gives you hints if you have the line correct or not and how many stations away you are

Yes that must also be done in verification

"Challenge: Locate a consumable made the furthest from London. (Check label on where it's made/produced from) You must locate anything that can be consumed made the furthest from Europe. This can be stated by it's label on the packaging on where it's created/made from. The team with furthest location, wins."

06:36

Speaking of which, are we considering address of the factory or just the country?

Also adding a definition of "closest" to guess the population now. It should be lower ratio between actual population and the guess (actual/guess or guess/actual, whichever is greater) (edited)

01/02/2025 12:15

how do we feel about this justification

12:00

The detailed description wording of the challenge is "Both teams must find the most expensive Hotel, Hostel or Inn that they can find. The most expensive hotel wins". The short description of the challenge is "Locate the most expensive Hotel/Hostel/Inn etc" 1. If we read the basic description as saying that anything is included, via "etc.", the detailed description would immediately contradict that, as it does not include or imply any "etc." 2. A managed apartment is different from the category of "thing" that contains Hotel, Hostel or Inn, for several reasons. Hotels, Hostels and Inns all have room for more than one booking. Managed apartments are self-contained units. By comparison to a managed apartment, Hotels, Hostels and Inns are all relatively similar to each other, so the inclusion of "etc." implies that only more things of this type might be included in this list, not something that is more different, like a managed apartment. Therefore we rule that managed apartments are not included in this challenge.

if you wanna take over that drama

12:02

sounds good

I will return.

Due to a safety concern I allow Team 1 to move their rest location to Green Park Station.

There is a protest assembling at their original location and police said it will probably still be there in an hour. Green Park is less than half a mile away.

any concerns on doing a challenge at that station with the protest ?

oh the finished the challenge right before the break
