Yee, I hecked up. Fixed! [emoji=owl size=1]

@Jeevas is there some kind of graphic to show the glass we are lighting up as we go?

@gn0me Sadly, no. [emoji=banescale sad size=1] I considered commissioning such a graphic, even just one that showed the finished stained glass platform, but couldn't think of one in time. So just use your imagination. I'm imagining it as some sort of abstract art.

@Jeevas if Team D votes Skydancer, how do you decide whether they switch with Team A or Team E?

@Jeevas [quote]The race ends when all the tiles are lit up.[/quote] Assuming it isn't just a speed race then, (like the previous iterations of dreamclaw's engine which ended after a certain amount of predetermined days and whoever had the most points won) - how do we know how many tiles we've lit? It also says they should be lit in the right order. I'd like to take this chance to apologise for not RPing as usual but I haven't been able to visualise what we are actually doing in order to RP something I get that each team is on a separate stained glass panel and the engineer tested the panels so we see that they light up properly. Now that we have begun the race, how is each team doing panel wise? Are we on track? Or are bouncing on the same tiles repeatedly or doing them in teh wrong order? Or is it actually just a race to the most points and I'm reading too much into it?

@gn0me As for your SD question, I'll probably flip a coin. As for your lore question, it works like this.

Each heat has its own platform. All the teams are on one platform. There is a race track, but it's not lit up, so whichever team is in front has to light up the right tiles to move forward and for their movement to count. All the other teams behind them run the race as usual, since the path has already been lit up for them. Make sense?

@Jeevas so whoever is in the lead in each Heat determines if the glass path progresses each Round?
And its a race between Heats to light up their Heat's entire stained glass platform?
