No, they have 7 people who have posted in their topic since May 12th.

Then they have Fiery who is willing to be eliminated at any point (he has fodder experience from TES1), Iaukasomethinglikethat who wants to drop but was convinced to stay in til they need to eliminate him, and Pudding who was considered for elimination at the same time as Penguin and hasn't posted since March.

Idk what's up with google docs right now (or maybe just some weird 340 row limit error thingy), but I can't add new rows to the top of the spreadsheet at the moment. Every time I try, it just deletes the row where I'm telling it to add a row above.

So here's a lazy copy/paste of the more recent 5 posts.

also: teepan from pisces asked how we managed to avoid losing elimination so far and if we could help. I told him(her?) that it was just active players and luck, and that I would help (didn't commit the team) them to avoid shame at least as long as it wouldn't hurt our standing. Depending on the challenge it could be useful or a complete non issue.

Yeah, we ended up losing a few more points in the final grading (3 or 4 animes that had official english names) and almost lost a point for movie based on a book in the B category (we had Bab which I said was a typo for Babe after looking to see what everyone else said) and after complaining about it enough mayo eventually changed his mind on scorpio taking our family guy point by claiming it's dlc.

now we get to wait some more until the next challenge starts

Argh... Google Docs is still being difficult, even when I tried to copy the document to a new document (and make a new link to that "Part Two"), it still kept deleting rows rather than adding them.. even after I cleared everything out.

Oh well.. here's the rest of their posts so far.

Random number generator:
76

Can someone please PM the number for me? I'm still suspended.

Screen shot this if it helps.

Or I can screen shot my gamefaqs page and write a note and post the image here...

This challenge is going to be a bit unorthodox and will be played in 2 parts. It is called Number Crunch. If you were in ES1, you've played it (the first part at least) before.

For the first part, all you have to do is pick a number from 1 to 100 (this requires individual submissions, not team submissions). The goal is to get the highest unique number (meaning a number not chosen by any other player. Obviously, you want to communicate with your teammates so none of you pick the same number). This is going to be a bit easier than in ES1 because that time around, it was the first challenge of the game so there were 100 players. Now, with fewer players, the likelihood of picking a unique number is higher... however, this challenge has some twists.

First twist... Dominance, Safety, Nothing and Shame are all out of play. Any inactive player who fails to submit a number will be eliminated. You've asked for a purge. This is it. A player who fails to submit but is not on inactive status, who we know to have been active, will still have a chance to be part of the game, joining Ophiuchus immediately. Hopefully that won't happen though, if you've been active, stay active >_>.

Second twist, there is a reward element to the challenge that will play out in part 2, but the nature of part 2 will not be explained until it is time for it. Inquiring about it ahead of time will not get you information. Eligibility for part 2 will be limited though. Even though this is a purge and there will not be the standard vote, teams will still be ranked in order of the highest unique number on each team, and the top 5 teams will each send their top player (the individual player who picked the highest unique number) to the reward part 2, which will then be explained and further instructions will be given.

So for now, all you have to do is pick a number from 1-100. You want it to be as high as possible, but at the same time, you want it to be a number that you're confident no one else picked. Due to both scheduling and the fact that I want to give reasonable time for inactive players to show up and participate (and for any concerned teammates to contact them and hopefully get them to show up), I'm making the deadline 48 hours from this post. (I will not be able to update between 36 and 47 hours, so 48 will have to do.)

I sent PMs to Fieryterminator, PuddingBoy, and Iauakua, none of them have been around for a while. Will send PMs to the others tomorrow if they don't come around by then.

99-96 covered if the inactives do us a favor and participate

Would it be good to (at the last moment before the update) hint to Libra that they should pick 73 and 74?

There's a chance they'll keep working from the same quicktopic if they can keep their team intact, and that'll give us an advantage post-merge.

If you think this is a good or terrible idea, please speak up.
In any case, I'd be waiting until close to the deadline to tell them to do that so that there is not time for them to realize why they should take those numbers and then organize a cout against us.

Edit: Okay, playing Devil's advocate to myself now. If we help Libra, we don't even know for sure they'll keep using that quicktopic. Even if they do, we might look suspicious to Taurus/Scorpio and ruin our 3-to-2 team advantage in this upcoming intermerge period. It would really be a shame to ruin something like that. ..so I guess we don't tell Libra anything. right?

How about telling Pisces to not go above 75 and seeing what happens in Libra's QT?

Pisces isn't active enough for us to tell them last-minute, and I wouldn't want to tell any team other than last-minute, for if we did then they might organize an effort against us with all the other teams.

There. I got the google spreadsheet updated to Libra's post 362. Aquarius also finally made another post, so I updated their spreadsheet too.

Google Docs is still giving me errors when I try to add or delete rows or anything like that, but I realized the error is just in what it shows me. So if I perform some command and then immediately refresh the spreadsheet, it'll all look good to me and I can continue editing (and then refresh again to see those edits, if necessary). I still wish it would just work normally again instead, but I suppose its current state is sufficient.

Could always do it under an alt which won't trace back to you... then again I'm not sure what the purpose of sending anything to pisces is at all

Libra and Pisces are neutral so if they place well that's better for us than if a Cancer ally does.

And also that whole quicktopic stalking thing (since Pisces would likely pick Libra as their new teammates)

Toaster, I assume you still have the google info doc?

You don't have any team members around you on the board so you should be good to submit a move yourself (if you haven't already.)

Surprisingly, the Libra topic was actually used again.
I am SOOOOOO tempted to say I also still refresh it from time to time... but I'll resist.

According to one definition on Urban Dictionary, a "yoke" is an Irish term for an Ecstasy pill.

According to another definition, it's a word that could mean literally anything in Ireland these days.

I'd consider it, but the moment I consider it Choco is going to shut me down like he did when I considered your idea about revealing Chimera after this week.

Because both ideas are rather stupid. Even if they have a fun factor to them.

I'm not just saying "hi". That's lame.

Hmm.. maybe I could troll them by not being logged into quicktopic when I post. So they'd wonder if it's really me.
