A Bit Of Housekeeping/FAQs

Hello! Thank you all for bearing with me as I run my first event and encounter a bunch of speed bumps that I hadn’t anticipated. I’ll be going over a few of them here, as well as questions from yesterday’s form entries.

The Form
I realised that the questions in the form weren’t as clear as they could be, given ~6 of you put “Jeevas” in the “Volunteer Username” field. (Jeevas is the user who was hosting yesterday’s dragon; the Volunteer Username field is intended to ask for the event participant’s username - ie, yours, the person filling out the form. I have now added clarification to the form!) I went back through and fixed as many as I could from context, but there are still two stray Jeevases in there.

If this sounds like something you may have done, please check the tracker spreadsheet to see if your username is on there! If it’s missing, or if you notice that your buy-in box is incorrectly filled/not filled, please PM me and we’ll get that all sorted out ASAP.

Coliseum Quests
I got a few questions about this, so to be clear: if you’re choosing the Coliseum Quest (as opposed to the Send-In quest), you don’t need to send me anything. No screenshots, proof, or item submissions necessary - we’re working on the honour system!

The Wordle
Not everyone was familiar with the game, which I failed to anticipate! I’ve written up a brief explainer here, which I’ll also link to for future clues that require the same mechanics. Please let me know if there are still any areas of confusion!

And finally, I wanted to say thank you all for the support and understanding! I especially love seeing all your little notes and rp responses in the Google form c:

Chu did not care much for honor. They twisted the stem of a flower about the frisbee's eye-tendril anyway before hauling it back. Fetch!

@Sketchy Oh, shoot, I didn't know there was a limit! I've made a second identical puzzle at this link (that also has a 60-person limit, but hopefully we won't hit it) and a low-tech spreadsheet version just in case. Let me know if anything else breaks, and thank you for the heads-up! c:
