Very nice! So in every pic there’s going to be two things to count. Given the time limit the best strat has got to be that I count one and you the other. We can even agree in advance that you count the first thing and me the second do we don’t need to waste time assigning. But when we post our answers we say 2 teeth / 6 whiskers as an example just in case someone gets confused in the pressure and counts the wrong thing. What do you think? Yep, I think some sort of pre-arranged system is a great idea. I'm happy to count whatever is second. Now watch us get 6-8 things to count.

Hey Wood
Sorry I've been a bit absent. Has been a busy day.
That sounds like a great idea. THe scottish thing plus the quidditch should be a good bit of role play for a day or two until people get settled in the real thing and just playing the game.
Still good for 8 pm EST? We can flesh out the plan for the challenge before getting started.
I also wanted to discuss something with you? How much to we care about finding out who each other is? Asking because some of the ways to obtain house points, require a level of game sacrifice and I really don't need to know that badly. I'm just gonna trust that if I put you in a list of people I want to play with and you did the same with me, that we obviously get on well and like each other and will commit to that. If we find out, down the track, great. But I don't think we should make any sacrifices for house points for that purpose.

If we find out, down the track, great. But I don't think we should make any sacrifices for house points for that purpose. What sacrifices are you talking about? Having to vote for the same player in a round? Outside of "play[ing] an item on another player" I don't see any 'sacrifices' in that list. To be blunt, your question comes off as not being interested in working with me which would be a fair slap in the face seeing as the game is still 24 hours from even starting. I will be as good a teammate as you are to me. You look after me, I'll look after you. You mentioned yesterday that you expect the players to be split into a good Side and an evil Side. If that's the case, we'll form our own relationships with players in each Side but we'll have the ability to discuss what is happening in our respective tribes here away from everyone else. What you tell me can potentially be relayed back to you through a player on my Side and their partner and vice versa. If we can find another 1-2 pairs that we can form some sort of cross-Side alliance with, we'll be able to keep each other safe through to merge. Lose that and you're on your own. You mentioned a "proper chat" yesterday. What did you want to talk about? For what its worth, I'm not terribly concerned about the ID thing either seeing as it will take the best part of a week to find out who the other is and as things turn out, we're not really teammates, per se. I don't know if you might be someone who I would expect to have my back or vice versa and in these games, you have to form those relationships anyway so big picture, it probably doesn't matter. But knowledge is power and the more we know, the better position we're BOTH in. I'll be available at 8pm tonight and I hope we win that challenge but it sounds like you've gotta sort out your own thoughts before we worry about a challenge.

Woah calm down.
I misread the parchment okay. Jesus. I thought that there was one thing where you got points by sacrificing your vote. I don’t know why I thought that.
What the hell was that reaction. I was clearly talking about sticking together but just not caring about the IDs.

Happy to give you the benefit of the doubt there but when I'm the only other player you have access to and you're already talking about not making sacrifices for people it doesn't give me warm, fuzzy feelings.

I was only talking about not getting points for points same just to find out who each other is. I have no problem playing advantages on allies, which obviously includes you.

Fair enough. Based on the house points thread as it currently stands, I share your position. Obviously we don't know what the house points will be used for yet but I suspect there would be some advantage beyond just know who other is.
Tonight's challenge - you suggested counting the first items and I count the second. Broadening that, do you just take the first half and I take the second? I suggested we put our progress in the thread so we can copy and paste as required. Do we perhaps have one of us count while the other determines the best strategy? Is there another alternative that works in counting games?
