Battle for Zone 1 Team Chats / game-general

Hello competition

Hello, friend

I see team 2 had to be buffed to 5 players to correct for the curse

4

cackles

Your deviousness as a designer is both intriguing and slightly scary

Which is weird

21:02

Because I believe Formula made the teamlists

I'm not sure how devious the team split is specifically, but theorangeone is laughing suspiciously over multiple channels

I mean, having seen the challenges, y'all are in for a fun day

look, I have a history of being horrible to people through design

21:25

My speciality is "things that look easy but are really hard"

21:27

with a dash of "your legs are aching for a week afterwards" and the occasional "making people wait at cold bus stops next to a dual carriageway" - though the latter will not be making an appearance

Cold bus stops, yes

21:37

Dual carriageway, no

21:37

ask me about the time I almost caused a pile-up on the A64

21:43

by flagging down a bus at speed in the right hand lane here https://maps.app.goo.gl/RhKYUv5GKEbsdbtp7

Hazelwood Castle Hotel · Tadcaster LS24 9NJ, United Kingdom

Bus stop

I shouldn't be surprised by this tbf

(cryptic voice) Teams should bear in mind that to an extent your strategy may be driven by what the actual challenges turn out to be.

I assume we're keeping the rule that whether successful or unsuccessful, the result of a battle challenge 'locks' a station. Is the contested station locked for all teams following a battle challenge or just the team who lost the challenge?

It's locked to whichever team wins. Similar to S4 state battle rules

Locked for all teams as well

Is there a lunch break?

Similar to our previous games, you are advised to take a lunch break

22:18

But as we can't enforce it, you can take it when you prefer

Sounds good thank you! Sorry I didn't see it in the announcements and didn't take part in the previous ones!

22:18

I'll make sure to pack snacks just in case haha

Nah, it's fine - got a few new players this time round

Some challenges may require the consuming of food anyway

theorangeone

Some challenges may require the consuming of food anyway

And from past experience they only come after you’ve eaten

Okay but you will have the full challenge list in front of you at 1030 so if you wanted you could plan your meals

I’m just saying after buying a meal deal then having to get kfc has happened to us

I'm the opposite I often forget to eat on a challenge

theorangeone

Okay but you will have the full challenge list in front of you at 1030 so if you wanted you could plan your meals

only at 1030?

Yep, you only get to read the challenges when the clock starts

01:20

I expect complete chaos

We should record ourselves jet lag style again

01:56

Is a good way to start

would be fun if logistically difficult to record the whole game so it can be followed like a jet lag season

Ngl I would also love that

02:05

But I am busy guy so I cannot make time to edit something like that

02:05

We can put all our footage into a Google drive folder if you’d like

It would be fun to record opinions on strategy or what other teams are doing occasionally to look back on, I guess

Some useful links for people going into this (both relatively speedy and usable on the move): https://bustimes.org/ - live bus timetables including a large map showing the positions of all the buses (slight delays because bus tracking is inefficient, but still workable) https://intertube.eta.st/ - live tube train positions (edited)

intertube: explore the London Underground

Get real-time, second-by-second updates on the movements of Tube trains.

does this use the same ibus data as Google Maps does?

Unsure; I've always found the live bus tracking to be reliable if you accept that it's slightly delayed

can thou pin this

MajorScafellPike pinned a message to this channel. 25/01/2024 13:12

Done

merci (edited)

hello enemy teams how are you all doing today!!!!?!?

While I can get to Oxford Circus myself also, I don't mind meeting up first at St Pancras if people going via KGX/STP would like to

it's a wee bit further out the way for me but I'm more than happy to pop up early

14:28

I would quite like to stuff my face with food before we get underway just in case

Barry Heck

it's a wee bit further out the way for me but I'm more than happy to pop up early

If you're not coming from up North, you may not have to.

yeah, the meeting point near Oxford Circus was picked to be out of the way

14:33

it's generally pretty dead

nah I'm from South London but I'd quite like to meet the competition and indulge in a bit of tactical social engineering to uncover any battle strategies

1

(wrt food, I'd recommend bringing a meal deal from elsewhere in London, because there's only M&S and Waitrose within 5mins walk of Oxford Circus and pricey) (edited)

cheeky bit of tactical espionage

Just go to the Greggs in Kings Cross

14:35

Boom

((there is however a Pret just round the corner; I will likely be retreating there once I start you all off so I can fire up the laptop and start helpdesking))

Sorted

Pret? Oh boom

theorangeone

((there is however a Pret just round the corner; I will likely be retreating there once I start you all off so I can fire up the laptop and start helpdesking))

This is not an invitation to go there and try and bribe him

14:35

Unless it is, idk

is it one of those prets that doesn't have iced drinks

14:36

because if so, sad

All I can say is if you're bribing Orange then you also need to bribe me

MajorScafellPike

This is not an invitation to go there and try and bribe him

you can't bribe me, I am most likely unbribable

trying to locate a pret in London shouldn't be too difficult anyway

MajorScafellPike

Just go to the Greggs in Kings Cross

there's a Greggs not too far away from Oxford Circus as well

14:37

it's a popular haunt for BBC employees in the morning

as an O2 user I WILL be stopping by to obtain my weekly free greggs sausage roll do not fear

4

I'm south London but happy to do whatever!

oh fantastic someone else south of the river

I will say that while you will be unable to bribe me, attempting to do so is very welcome

South London can be tricky to travel from.

I am also south

oh look at us

15:02

team 2 south london represent

3

wohoo

I was born in south London, but my family moved out when I was young, and lived in Cambridgeshire for my adult life

okay okay

There's always one, eh xD

Close enough

Yeah I'll count that

16:14

I read better with my ears

Askwho

I have never sounded so eloquent in my life

I did actually consider trying to build a web app to track ownership of stations on the map, but discovered the official Tube map is not public domain so there's a not the large number of easily adaptable things as I expected

nothing beats a good ole sharpie

wheyyy good news everyone I have CAUGHT A COLD

23:46

which statistically means I should feel fine during the event

4

My partner has had COVID this week, so I probably shouldn't catch that for the event myself!

I catch colds all the time so I'm very very very happy I have one now

08:44

I mean I'm not 'cause they always make me feel like shit

08:44

Buuuuuut I shouldn't be feeling like shit in 2 weeks...

I do know what you mean!

One question: When do you estimate the after party would end? Or when is latest time do you guys want to leave by?

I think whenever people want? It depends how long people want to hang around

Announcement: 10th February is now confirmed strikeless!

Got bad news and good news

23:38

The bad news is I'm ill

23:38

The good news is this means I maybe be pretty well when it comes to the game

All of you have incomprehensible logic

Unless there's a danger to life, sure it'll be fine.

Will/Hikari

The good news is this means I maybe be pretty well when it comes to the game

this is SO AWESOME this is my logic when it comes to these things

Tbh I'll need to figure out what to do with the imbalance of the groups

are you saying team 2 is too overpowered and will win

Probably but just in case the 2 people don't respond, I'll need to set up some plan before I can make a final weekly announcement

00:02

I did suggest potentially removing one of you from Team 2 but stated it's best not to.

can't do that we might have our WORLD CLASS gameplan leaked

00:03

and then heavily countered!!!!!

Barry Heck

this is SO AWESOME this is my logic when it comes to these things

Wha

00:15

Are you ok?

00:16

It's just a simple common bug that typically goes around this time of year

we must share braincells

Image attachment

Ok but you don't have to be a dick about it

i'm not :(

Kinda where

i was agreeing with your logic

00:17

sorry i'm a serial caps lock user

Ok

Barry Heck

can't do that we might have our WORLD CLASS gameplan leaked

I'm concerned that your world class gameplan might be exactly the same as mine, because there's limited things you can do with no map of challenges

Somehow I don't think it is

I will tell you now that no plan survives first contact with the list of challenges

We'll see

I did write the list

we're adding something very fun into the list of challenges

1

Fun for.. You? Or fun for us

Potentially both

14:52

Wait and see

three general rules for the challenge 1) if you're not sure how much evidence to give, too much is better than too little 2) the helpdesk's decision is final 3) try not to break the Good Friday Agreement

way ahead in 3

15:48

Already broken the Geneva Conventions

Good Friday mostly applies in Northern Ireland

#3 is just generally good advice for people in the UK

Would say the Metropolitan Police Act of 1839 but I think we mandated that

when you get to Oxford Circus, you want Exit 1 by the abandoned newsagents, then it's a minute's walk to the left of the hoardings to Great Castle Street, it's very close to the station

16:04

you can be on a tube in under 2 minutes from that point if you need to and you're fast on escalators

nooooooo this is so sad

16:52

i have been called into WORK the day before battle for zone 1!!!!!

16:52

not ONLY have my sleep plans been ruined but i will no longer be able to go watch the greatest cinematic masterpiece that drops the day beforehand

16:53

my day has been RUINED

Image attachment

It's not a proper challenge unless you're sleep deprived and your body is crying out for food as you look at the tasklist in complete bewilderment

so true...

I was minutes from the end of a challenge last Saturday when certain muscles decided they weren't going to take any more abuse and quit

16:59

(bus-based thing in London, very silly)

Barry Heck

i have been called into WORK the day before battle for zone 1!!!!!

You do know you can say no to work, considering it's like less than 2 weeks notice? (edited)

yeah but i have dollar signs in my eyes

theorangeone

when you get to Oxford Circus, you want Exit 1 by the abandoned newsagents, then it's a minute's walk to the left of the hoardings to Great Castle Street, it's very close to the station

That newsagent could have been abandoned in the 1960s by its general appearance, although it seems it did make it to 2012

theorangeone

when you get to Oxford Circus, you want Exit 1 by the abandoned newsagents, then it's a minute's walk to the left of the hoardings to Great Castle Street, it's very close to the station

I love bits in london that still have the 2012 olympics branding

21:16

its pretty awesome recent history thats still around (edited)

Thought i start counting everyone on who plans to bring a power bank with them? I am aiming to have at least one power bank for each team so just thought I'd make sure in case if noone in a team has one.

22:22

I know few of you have, and I just got one myself but thought I start counting.

22:22

2 of us in Team 1 (including me) have power banks (edited)

@Team 3 I have a power bank but I dont trust it, does anyone else have one or plans to have one for the game?

I should have one

I'll be bringing one too (team 2/heck) (edited)

I'll be bringing one, 'tis a pretty beefy one

I’ve got one too if necessary

All of heck has one

mine is pretty strong i must say

14:24

like it's a particularly beefy unit

Same

btw, we haven't yet dm'ed Superpran and he appears to be online right now. Not sure what to do here.

DM him then?

23:27

maybe he muted the server or something

Just received a DM. He's confirmed as not attending so removing him from Team 3 now.

OK

23:32

Is Aks coming?

I'm gonna assume the same.

Might as well make sure (edited)

23:33

Don't want to fudge with the teams until he's confirmed as not here

Aks is hardly active.

23:34

I'll ask Super about it

Uhhh

23:34

Why does Louis not have a team

LouisonAir?

23:35

Yes he is on a team

23:35

Probably confused with the other one

Louis_se

23:35

Not On Air

23:35

Only he's been given the player role, but not the team role

Just found out the error, i've removed the player role.

So he's not supposed to be playing at all

23:36

?

Nope, firstly never signed up. Secondly, he stated last game that he was gonna sign up but couldn't as he's too young.

Ah, fine

23:39

OK

23:41

Right, well, if Aks says no, I'm moving Brim out of Team 2

23:42

Since he's the only member to not have talked in there yet

23:43

I've temporarily locked him out of the team chat for now

@SN15 with brim

So he can't strategise now I've said that

@ing him in case anything happens.

Fine

23:44

If Aks doesn't show, we'll have a 4-4-3

23:45

Brim can choose either Team 1 or Team 3, his choice

23:45

If he does, I'll put Brim on Team 3 and we have 4-4-4

23:45

Does that sound reasonable?

23:46

Since Aks is on T1

Possibly. Tbh, i was leaning on him for Team 3 instead based on his local knowledge and experience.

Who, Brim?

23:47

Well it's more than likely he'll be on T3

Brim, yes

Since if Aks shows, it's a dead cert and if he doesn't, it's a toss-up

23:48

Do kinda want to give him the choice tho

23:48

If we only have 11

23:48

And thus we have to have a team of 3

Aks is on T3? So I think Brim needs to be moved into T3 as then it's 4-5-3 becoming 4-4-4

2

Yeah, if we do that then all teams are guaranteed 4 or 5 players whether or not Aks shows up (edited)

theorangeone

Aks is on T3? So I think Brim needs to be moved into T3 as then it's 4-5-3 becoming 4-4-4

Thought Aks was on T1

Nope they were both on T3

Well he's not got the T3 role

00:44

Aight, got him confused with Askwho

00:44

Who is on Team 1

00:45

Aight, @Team 3 , Brim is joining your team

00:47

Hmmm

00:47

Odd

00:47

Aks is still in the server, but he's not got any of the designated roles

00:49

Tbh, doesn't really matter which team he joins at this point

Just got dm from Super, he said he's 100% not sure he's coming but consider him out as well

Noted

00:50

Yeah, we'll consider this sorted

oh no, all @Barry Heck's secret plans

Because we have three teams of four we can add Aks in anywhere if he turns up

ratt

oh no, all @Barry Heck's secret plans

I picked Brim because he's the only player on that team not to have said anything (edited)

not my team lol

I.e. has the least chance of spoiling those

00:52

...Good point

00:52

Note to self, remember which colour each team is

00:52

But no, Baz Heck's plans should be mostly safe

Let's make sure Brim responds so he's aware

I mean, he has most of a week to notice

00:54

I'd consider it likely he didn't notice which team he was on originally

MajorScafellPike

Aight, @Team 3 , Brim is joining your team

coolio

Problem solved

00:56

Love it when that happens xD

ratt

oh no, all @Barry Heck's secret plans

Might aswell share it with everyone at this point

10:11

how dare you

10:11

brim is gonna tell them anyway

so true bestie

hello all, three days to go

3

I'd say tomorrow or Friday, we'll do a ping as reminder.

14:07

For all participants

14:07

That way, we make sure everyone is active.

14:08

NOTE: We had somebody drop out at the eleventh hour before.

That was down to external circumstances tho

Best to keep eye on who is active, especially those that may not be active for days. Not sure if it's a bit totaltarian though.

I think pretty much everyone apart from Brim has contributed to team strategising

14:11

And Brim is Brim

sup nerds

He did ended up dropping out last minute after few days, only because something tragic happened then. But still, who knows what could happen.

Exactly

I now have nine printed copies of the challenges, which I shall be sealing in envelopes soon

19:18

three per team

19:19

plenty for y'all to doodle on

1

And the forecast is looking less like rain on Saturday currently too (lots tomorrow!)

Minor issue

22:20

Got myself the flu

22:20

Should have stayed away from my gf

22:20

I feel better vs yesterday

22:20

Shall see

22:21

I just cause chaos always I'm so sorry

Bit of throwback Thursday. In case anyone doesn't know who you'd be meeting on Saturday and what he looks like, here it is. Just, in case the need to look out for.

(The guy on the right, not the one on the left. Orange is not in fact Geoff.)

oh that's a dated reference

just a heads up - it's Chinese New Year on Saturday so you might want to bear this in mind when in the Piccadilly Circus/Leicester Square/Charing Cross/Embankment/Covent Garden area

I actually thought Geoff was gonna be there

dabus21

I actually thought Geoff was gonna be there

I can't summon him

15:04

and he's probably not particularly happy with me

Oh no why

There's a story about this

ghosted him

15:05

by accident

Oof

MajorScafellPike

There's a story about this

oh lol there's many stories but most aren't mine to tell

Ahh right

imagine if envelope was pronounced like penelope

Counterpoint - penelope sounding like envelope

15:24

Pen-elope

I mean that's probably the correct way to say it

ghosted him

Sucks that you probably won't appear in more videos then, I guess.

Ehh he'll want me back eventually

its normal

Was gonna say, if you're not involved in that Superloop race idea he had I will throw hands

16:36

Can't let Roger take over all the bus videos!

I don't like his races tbh they're all rigged

~~aren't all races~~

16:39

Mind you, that's a quick challenge idea

16:40

Orbital Race - Round 1 - Superloop Round 2 - Overground Round 3 - Circle Line

16:40

Preferably unrigged

theorangeone

I don't like his races tbh they're all rigged

Pointsguy is Roger?

question for the day

01:29

Those not participating but on virtual helpdesk, will you be constantly updating a map of the different claims or will we have to do that ourselves?

what are the rules on prepreparing for potential challenges by buying sheets of paper/pens/markers/the whole shebang

06:33

I feel like I've already asked this but can't remember

06:33

are we going full jetlag style and not bringing stuff like that

Barry Heck

what are the rules on prepreparing for potential challenges by buying sheets of paper/pens/markers/the whole shebang

So, I would bring pens and a notebook/notepad simply for sketching ideas and making notes, I would say that's generally helpful

aight rad

Will/Hikari

Those not participating but on virtual helpdesk, will you be constantly updating a map of the different claims or will we have to do that ourselves?

I will be doing that, yes

Barry Heck

are we going full jetlag style and not bringing stuff like that

In terms of items for challenges - and there will be some challenges that require items - there is a reason we haven't given you the list of challenges beforehand! They should all be relatively simple things to find in shops, and if you already happen to have such an item with you you are welcome to use it for the challenge if it speeds things up because frankly we can't police that. In many cases it might be unusual for you to already have the item in question though so for the full experience I wouldn't specifically try and guess what's in my head before the challenge starts! We've tried to give you something immersive and part of the fun is headlessly running around trying to find supplies... (There is one exception to the bringing along pre-bought things rule which I will be doing a spot check for and confiscating in case anyone happens to have it on the day before we all start just so the playing field is level, so expect that. It's a relatively inexpensive thing and I will give it back to people when the challenge is over if they have it; it has to do with the Oxford Circus challenge so obviously it would be unfair to hand any one team an advantage from the get go.)

Have the others got cool names yet (edited)

Will/Hikari

Those not participating but on virtual helpdesk, will you be constantly updating a map of the different claims or will we have to do that ourselves?

good good

Do the teams all have names or is it still 1/2/3? Wanting to write it out on my map in advance if possible.

Uhh

15:18

1 and 2 have names

15:18

3 had a name proposal but I don't think it's official

No worries if not just was asking as I'm prepping some of my stuff for tomorrow atm.

Just for reference, on the online map I will be using role colours for the map

15:19

I.e. T1 is blue, T2 is green, T3 is purple

Thanks that's good to know :).

No worries if not just was asking as I'm prepping some of my stuff for tomorrow atm.

ok we have a name now

Grrrr, I could've done a last minute reminder much earlier.

sleep

23:47

what sleep? (edited)

Well, it is a last minute reminder

23:47

I'd argue that is true

Just to be clear can you reconfirm where we're meeting and what time, I have it written down but just to avoid me panicking even though I know I'm right in the morning

1030 challenge start (edited)

23:51

But meet 1015

Oxford Circus, outside the Uyghur restaurant on Great Castle Street so we're out of the way

Bit of throwback Thursday. In case anyone doesn't know who you'd be meeting on Saturday and what he looks like, here it is. Just, in case the need to look out for.

I'm specifically wearing this fleece so people know how to find me

We need Geoff also to recreate that shot in freeze frame to make it as clear as possible

Piccadilly has reduced service, but on the bright side that means the tracks are quiet so we can see what these trains are capable of

10:04

Was not one of you

10:04

I'm outside the Uyghur place

That’s now?

hi everyone I am in Vapiano chilling with pasta and cocktails

I'm in my flat drinking tea

I'm in my flat eating rich tea biscuits

Uhh map update pls

I'm waiting on a couple in-progress ones to finish

11:53

Plus, I've just been on the bog, so I'm just catching up on the map as I can't do that on my phone (edited)

ah fantastic

What was the battle challenge

It was really close - T3 had the Bank area but T1 managed to get to Trafalgar Square and had an excellent run Photograph the most buses was the battle

Ah ok

12:42

Ours was find the most famous blue plaque

That's a fun battle

Robert Ross was a lucky find

12:42

He’s quite famous

~~Technically your opponents' only find was the number 12, but sure~~ (edited)

We failed cause of my terrible Google map skills

I mean, the number 12 does have a wikipedia article

12:50

It just wasn't very long

ngl for finding blue plaques "run through the streets" is not a bad plan

@Virtual Assistant how much fun are you having watching us scurry around on the tracker

I mean, I can't see the tracker

12:53

That's Hugo's problem

12:53

I am enjoying watching you guys do your challenges tho

Yeah it's fun

Survived to the very end

Our eta is like 6:15pm, we all randomly thought it was a different spoons

Posting this video here because I think it's genuinely really funny

18:08

Thanks so much for putting on such an amazing game. We had a fantastic time.

It was an amazing day! My legs are dead but it was so worth it. Looking forward to future events :).

My right leg specifically is f'ed, and that's completely worth it

Yeah, this is a common feature of these events

19:13

My left knee took umbrage to the July game, for a start

Thing is my regular shoes have started hurting me, so today I had to wear my backup shows which are a pair of adult Heely's with the hole plugged up, and so they have slightly raised heels

19:15

Basically, "I could do this in heels"

Ah

19:15

Credit where credit is due, tbf

That must have been some effort

MajorScafellPike

That must have been some effort

It's only a slight difference to my other shoes tbh, I'd be knackered either way

Would love to have a screenshot of our location history if you have it @Askwho

19:30

makes it easier to explain what I was doing this day to my friends laugh

Thanks for organising! Definitely felt the jet leg magic, my body will probably keep feeling it for a while yet! It was an amazing event, we had a really great day :).

Yep, thanks a lot for organising it!
