Anyway it doesn’t matter it’s not like I went home there and knowing Shaun he was probably quicker that 9 seconds to accept it anyway. King Shaun's days were over though for most of the other challenges in this. Turns out Peter Pettigrew truly hates me. The way he purposely hid items in the AS Side maps for me to not find them. Seems he just knew me enough to perfectly design challenges specifically for me to not be able to solve any of them. Bloody ridiculous. I had my own challenge though with last second posts and missives. Your Minecraft castle was pretty amazing though.

It's not a ruling, it's the set of rules we intended even if it wasn't as explicit in the explanation as it ought to have been. The rule about accepting/rejecting a Gift was put in precisely so that what you're suggesting would not be possible - "before you are allowed to open any other Gifts" refers to when you join the Member Group. So the procedure was meant to be that you join one group, decide whether to accept/reject, then join another, which we did check for when we confirmed who got what Gift, such that anyone who tried to open Gifts before deciding what to do with ones already open would not have been eligible to receive those later Gifts (unless they were the last person to join those Groups, etc). The time between joining the Group and posting your decision impacted your ability to move on to the next Gift quickly, but if somebody opened a Gift and took longer to decide, they'd still be first in line for that particular Gift. Yeah understood it’s not like I could have done much different. I was already joining the groups on the .00 but I guess my Adelaide lag fucked me. 😂

Like I don’t want to go about this but under that ruling I could have joined every group when they became available and then work through all the gifts at the end of the day, accepting and rejecting as I saw fit.
The rule said I couldn’t accept or reject another gift until I had rejected or accepted the first one. It didn’t day I was prohibited from joining a group with an unaccepted gift.
It would have been a great strategy because I would have secured first shot at any gift I want (assuming I was first to join the group) and couldn’t be hit with the last to join the group chance at rejections. Maybe that was the desired intent and that was the best approach?
Anyway it doesn’t matter it’s not like I went home there and knowing Shaun he was probably quicker that 9 seconds to accept it anyway.

Looking back over the rules it does seem that I didn't make it explicit there. We went through a few different versions of how this would work, so it's perhaps not a surprise that some of the things I took as a given because I already understood the concept just didn't come across in the final version of the explanation. However, if you read down a bit further to the part about how the Gifts get assigned you'll see it says that "If everybody who opens a Gift tries to reject it, the Gift will be granted to the last player who joined that Gift's Member Group, despite their attempt to reject it." With the focus on the sequence in which people joined the Member Group rather then the order in which they posted about rejecting. I think that's enough to at least raise a question about whether we'd work through the acceptances in the same manner, if not an outright presumption that we would. I did see that. I assumed that that applied to rejected gifts only. Essentially meaning that joining a group was at your own risk, especially if some time after the deadline. I didn’t think that applied to accepted gifts. And that’s the only part which refers to member groups as being relevant for timing. And it’s the last one to join not the first.

\ (Also priority in the Gifts Challenge went according to when you joined the Member Group, not how quickly you posted your acceptance or rejection. Diggle beat you by a second, and Moody also got in just before you did.) \ Peter Pettigrew How was I supposed to discern this from the rules? The rules say: - To open a gift and see what is inside, simply join the relevant Member Group. However you must do so AT or AFTER its opening time. For instance, the '5pm Gift' Member Group should only be joined at or after 5:00:00pm board time. Anyone who joins any Member Group before the time in its name - even just a fraction of a second earlier - will not only miss out on the Gift, but also receive a steep penalty far beyond the scope of anything else built into this Challenge. Do not to do that! - Once you join a Member Group and open a gift, you can decide whether to accept it or reject it - simply make a post in your private Challenge thread saying the name/time of the Gift, followed by the word 'ACCEPT' or 'REJECT'. Like so: 6am Gift - REJECT - You must post a decision to either ACCEPT or REJECT each opened Gift before you are allowed to open any other Gifts. Once again, breaking this rule will be heavily penalised. - There is no time limit to open Gifts; in theory you could join all the Member Groups for all the Gifts shortly before the Challenge deadline, so long as you did it one at a time and accepted or rejected each one before opening the next. - Each Gift will be granted to the first player who accepts it. Also on the actual immunity idol it says: 'Individual Immunity! The first player to ACCEPT this Gift will be immune at their upcoming Magical Council.' Nowhere does it say that the first person to join the group will get the immunity. It clearly says, the first person to 'ACCEPT' the gift? What am I missing???

I liked Travers, Yax said he liked Travers.... I mean its clear now that everybody was ultra terrified of me and didnt ever give me their actual opinions but I mostly heard that people liked Travers People told you they liked Travers because people thought you liked Travers and no one wanted to go against you.

I suspected that in the jury when Diggle played it as I saw it had both DoM and DP colours.

Lucius, what is the context for that Episode 4 title? I can't imagine who you'd be talking about. Also congrats on most fun! It was a about Black's post in the wrong thread in my group chat with him and Rudy and I. I was noting it made me feel comfortible about them as they were worried about you, Barty and possibly me having a secret alliance with Igor and HK. I postulated that perhaps they had posted a 'wrong message' to make me feel that way, but really that would be.... episode title .

For those who don't know: Yax (Asbel) and I (Moro) in Ghibli afair have never met until merge, where he then decided to shoot me (using an item to PM ban me on the first merge round) and THEN gather numbers to kill me all in one round. As soon as we hade the ID reveal here - I had to cover up my will to strangle him and instead decided it was time for the best redemption arc ORG historians have ever seen. Congrats again on winning, Corban Yaxley , you wonderful human being :') With this plus me and Wood, I feel Pete was just making pairs that were going to have explosive ID reveals!

Congrats Asbel. I don't know you but as I said you played a textbook survivor game (without really knowing survivor or ORGs) so a complete natural!
