there is an area of crystal palace that has 5 borough borders nexts to each other(edited)
22:14
Croydon, Southwark, Lambeth and Bromley
22:15
and Lewisham is around the corner also, it's in the top right in that photo
22:17
We could claim Lambeth and Southwark from 9 and get 2 points for each, the rest get 1 in the morning
22:18
The way I see it though, locking out of activation boroughs could still be a stratery because if we get the lock point, it blocks other teams from capturing, so it's a net +2(edited)
22:19
(also i live here so i know the area lol)(edited)
22:22
If we do want to do that the fastest way would be > run to Mansion House or Cannon Street > District to Whitechapel > Overground to Crystal Palace(edited)
22:25
I note also that the City of London contains no locking/claim capabilities, so everyone will instantly start running off

Lewisham Claiming Challenge
A team member can go into any shop and locate any item with a Royal Warrant. Said item does not need to be consumed, but it is recommended that a consumable is purchased to save inconvenience.
@sevenseas just to let you know of our next play, weโre going to Crystal Palace Parade and attempting to claim the following: Lambeth, Croydon, Bromley
10:57
Weโre gonna try do this real fast as there border between the three are next to each other there
You must go to a supermarket chain (Boots, Tesco, M&S etc). You must identify the best value-for-money meal deal in that shop (no clubcard), and send a photo of the 3 items making up the deal. The best value-for-money is defined as the maximum absolute saving compared to list price of buying each item separately. You don't have to buy the actual meal, though you can if you want.
Croydon Claiming Challenge
One player must walk a quarter mile but only take steps through dice rolls. (You can only take steps depending on your dice roll) You may use a virtual or physical 6-sided die. The whole thing may be recorded but should be sufficient enough. (Please inform helpdesk who can advise you on what to do) You may plan your route beforehand. You also cannot take public transport before this is completed.
Send me a photo of it for now, then I'll process it later while you upload, you can use another third party hosting platform such as file.io if it's too big for discord
Sharing files with file.io is convenient, anonymous and secure. Just upload files and share the links via email, SMS, Slack, Discord, etc. Easy-to-use REST API.

I can see on the tracker that you did walk at least 400m
How long would it take to upload it? Ideally we do need to see the evidence but we can review this at a later time if it would take a very long time to upload the cvideo
11:33
Alternatively it could be streamed inside a voice call with helpdesk
Sure, that would be great if you could do that. I was thinking you could do so with the 1 hour lunch break as it probably would take a while to upload 800mb, depending on your mobile connection speed
11:36
I'll make an announcement about this. You should record in lower definition
Can I see a screenshot or two from the croydon lock video?
11:42
What we'll do is we'll provisionally accept them both (I want to see an extra screenshot from the lock video showing a traffic light) then once we review them it'll be finalised
Apologies for the awkwardness regarding the videos, by the way. I should have made an announcement about file wsize earlier, I forgot about that being an issue
"Buy" a property
Visit a property that is for sale (without actually going in). It must be clear that you know exactly where the relevant property is located and can point directly at it or a part of it from the street. Locating the block of flats that contains the property is not sufficient.
Sutton Claiming Challenge
Have an unusual gait. One team member must move the complete length of any street using an unusual gait that is not either walking or running. Examples include single-sided skipping, double-sided skipping, jumping, walking backwards or one of Monty Python's silly walks

If you are both attempting the locking challenge, please provide some proof that the video is complete and ready before you upload as it is a race against the clock with both you and team 1 in the area.
Hammersmith and Fulham Claiming Challenge
Teams must write and perform a 1 minute speech about why they should be elected Lord Mayor outside the town hall of the borough that you're in. It must not contain the letter 'E'.

Kensington and Chelsea claim challenge please @sevenseas
Kensingtoin and Chelsea Claiming Challenge
Seduce us to join a cult. You must get on a VC with Helpdesk and seduce them into joining a cult. You can make up any cult of your choice. The Helpdesk must record the whole thing and it must last for at least 2 mins.
Play "25 questions" with helpdesk via chat. helpdesk must be thinking of a person and the team must ask 25 "yes or no" questions to work out this person's identity. If the team has not worked out who this person by the end of asking the 25 questions, they have to stay in the same place until 25 minutes has elapsed since the start of their first question.
