dabus21

It’s was 144k at Calais

We took 67,380 off here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calais

Calais (UK: KAL-ay, US: kal-AY, traditionally KAL-iss, French: [kalɛ] ) is a French port city in the Pas-de-Calais department, of which it is a subprefecture. Although Calais is by far the largest city in Pas-de-Calais, the department's prefecture is its third-largest city of Arras. The population of the city proper is 67,544; that of the urb...

Yeah ok fair

@Team 2 Taskmetro Challenge: Cultured Find a Museum. Explain on video any artefact.

15:37

If filming is not allowed, a photo and explanation will suffice

Ok damn there is nothing here

15:38

There is a synagogue close by that looks old, would that count?

15:38

Ok wait no

A synagogue unfortunately is not a museum, unless there's a specific section for historical displays

Let’s go to Kensington palace

You have the options of travelling to find a museum or just moving on and starting again with a different station

Kensington palace is a museum

15:42

Damnit it might be close for entry when we get there

15:48

FUCK

High street ken

@Team 2 - Station Challenge! attempt to go on holiday. One team member must dress in a colourful outfit (defined as wearing at least two visible brightly coloured items of clothing). They must head to the bus stop outside the station, look forlornly in the direction of Heathrow Airport and say, "I sure wish I could get to Heathrow Airport for £1.50." (edited)

Vauxhall

Rude St Find a rude street name.

18:13

We are deeply offended

Goding is not offensive enough

Are you mad???

There is nothing else here that we could do

Can you find something better?

That would make this impossible

I think we have an idea

I have to leave now

We just got majorly fucked at Knightsbridge

We have asked the Jetlag Main Discord to vote on wether Goding Street is a rude Street name and they have voted "No". So unfortunately Vauxhall remains unclaimed.

Image attachment

Still your fault for sending us to Kendal town

will accept that it wasn't well explained in the rules that you could veto

18:46

the distinction is that they weren't curses and there was nothing inherent in any of the challenges that prevented you from ignoring them

18:47

We made the explicit clarification for the benefit of Team 1 at the time, who spent 30 minutes on the watermelon challenge

And giving an impossible challenge at Vauxhall

We have no obligation to give a challenge that can be completed before game end

Team 3 got a challenge worse than going to Kensal Green

Which they vetoed, and I'll accept that possibly it should've been more clearly written in the rules that you can do that. But this is our first time running B4Z1 with non-fixed challenges (last time teams could move on from challenges as well, but there was no reason for them to do so because everyone knew challenges in advance)

The poll closed. It was a definite no

Team 3 got a challenge worse than going to Kensal Green

Gave them a 1hr gap between claiming stations?

20:11

At a time the game was the most competitive? (edited)

dabus21

Gave them a 1hr gap between claiming stations?

Well you got to go to Kensal Green. They would have had to go to Stansted Airport... (Or at least on a train towards stansted for 15 minutes) (edited)

I wanna quickly weigh in: I do wish we knew about the veto being possible for the "claim immediately" stations so we could decide whether to get on that train, but by the start of the break we were in joint lead, so to be fair I think everything after that did come down to our judgement (and maybe some bad luck since we didn't win a single battle) and we shouldn't have got the bus, we should have gone to Westminster at the end, etcetera etcetera... but ultimately we still came 2nd so I think it was ok, it was a fun day as ever

22:58

I don't want this to end on a note of arguing with the referees. You on the helpdesk gave up your time to run what was a really fun day of Jet Lag: UK, so heartfelt thank you for that. If there was any issue today, it was the weather! (edited)

It wasn't ideal, it was a failing on behalf of helpdesk that you didn't know about it beforeband, absolutely. It does highlight the importance of looking for edge cases when designing these games and rules. It wasn't thought of because it just wasn't a big thing in the last game, you could implicitly quit a challenge and move on but noone would commit themselves to anything that hard in the first place.

23:01

I'm glad you guys had fun

23:02

We did do our best to make sure it was fair but the veto thing not being upfront was a shortcoming

I also feel the taskmetro needs to be more broad. The challenges were indeed too location specific as areas do not have museums + streets with rude names (edited)

23:03

But all in all I did enjoy myself and visited places I never would have otherwise
