That is why everyone are in teams. It's about finding the answers together as a team and working as a well-oiled and coordinated unit (one goes to find a bunch of Changeling SCs, while another tackles FD4, a third looks around for Dust Devil, etc.), and not merely being a lazyass sitting on your bum waiting for someone to pass you the answers and merely forwarding them off to me.

What good does that do for your own self and for your team? Surely in the 72-odd hours (in one Challenge I had given 5 whole days time!), members should find enough time to come online and do some co-ordination with each other.

I am gonna get in shit for this but, I call bullshit. Love ya V, but you can't expect people to remember things from one year to the next, especially when they are busy. Last year I had enough shit going on and I only read challenges and my inbox. You didn't put that in your original post for the challenge, you only mentioned having separate links. To bring it up any time after the original post is ridiculous when you know everyone will want their answers in asap. My team DID all work on the challenge together. I can forward you the many messages between all of us both here an on facebook all morning if you want. We just didn't know we had to take a different shot for each person. If this kinda stuff is going to happen, I would rather quit before I'm unfairly killed. That is all.

What is the use of a Challenge, then? Why call it a Challenge either?

And why the 3, 4, 5, even 6-day deadlines given for each Challenge if I get 20 entries within 5 hours?

I didn't highlight it the first year, nor in the second. Both times all teams involved got the information later, but still managed to send in their entries with slightly different screengrabs within the deadline. If in doubt, ask me for clarification. I was sure all the ones from the first two BRs should remember this and pass it on to the newcomers in their team, as like the Wordsearch and Crossword puzzles. I don't have to underline every small thing involved in a Challenge, and you have to agree that one has to earn 30 points first, than merely forwarding links and answers.

I won't debate this further, since everyone seems hellbent on crucifying me over things they should know as a returning contestant.

The Challenge stands scratched.

I'm not trying to crucify anyone. Like I said, I love you and do appreciate the hard work. I'm sure we all do. It's just like having a board game with no instruction booklet. If you haven't played it in a year you may know a few of the rules, but you still need clarification.

Fn A. I literally just sent mine in cause of my own computer problems. Took a Phone, Netbook, then finally a reg Laptop to get them in, a couple of annoyed friends are easily spared in order to get a challenge in!
Oh yeah sorry team.
Better late than never?!?

Pfffft - No worries at all; Really glad that you made the team effort - I know the computer issues you've been having. Plus you can make it up to me with healthpacks. ;)

I sincerely appreciate your effort because I know you had serious issues, in fact I'm truly surprised that you were able to complete this challenge at all...Saytan is experiencing some severe internet issues, which made her challenge far more 'challenging' as well, but she fought through it and managed to pull through...Chrono was doing more than her fair share, while working the challenge around her job...I have a pretty awesome team :)

That said, it doesn't seem like we should all be penalized because one person forgot how to play, and didn't ask for 'clarification'.

Don't scratch the challenge.We screwed up and it's are fault.We where so worried about getting are answers in fast that we didnt take the time to think.
