Hugs I totally understand health issues going on with friends or family for the last year I have dealt with my parents in and out of the hospital, the last for me has been moving my parents into my house and spending my spare time in and out of hospitals with them. I finally got them both back to normal and sent them to my sister for six months so i could get a break. Dont pay any attention to the whining and bs from pay, if they dont like it here they dont have to play. Folks this is a game and anything you win or get here is pixels.... In the scope of real life it really doesnt matter...

Im leaning towards being a firfly ship also. Though we may need to change a few things, not too much.

Im guessing as we have an engine/it runs on coal that would work. And it does have a tank so weaponry. What sort of stuff are you doing to make it more ship and less fantasy.

It just seems like so much work to figure all the fairy changes xD Im waiting on my team to see what they prefer though before making a set decision.

Dude. I'm offline for a couple days and the shit apparently hits the fan for WS3. Serious squishes (but no extra pingage, lol) to you Rowan!

Much more like I tried to duck the missles before they were fired, as I knew they'd be incoming, and folks got a bit fed up with my having to always duck. :D Thanks for the squishes! squish back

Scores for Chapter 5 are updated in the first post. Before I get to the judges and the RP comments, here's the breakdown of the Doppelganger conundrum:

Tylud is the doppelganger and this fooled no one, but Brooke did get a cute music box that plays "Who's Sorry Now?"

The page that seemed so strange to Lappy seemed strange to all of our teams as well, and rightly so, since the entire passage has not a single "e." Very strange, since that's the commonest letter in the English language. 250 Bonus Points to: Everybody!

Now, moving along to the RP, here are the judges' comments in summary.

Congrats to Bohemian Travelers, Fallen Angels, Mischievous Misfits, Nightowls, Raider's Folly, The Chemeriad, and The Fellowship.

(Base Points gave 500 for the Puzzle and 500 for the RP. There were two bonuses possible: Lappy's Page and the Judges' RP bonus. These were 250 each, making the maximum chapter score possible 1500.)

Way to go teams, hang in there and remember to just have fun. :)

Well those bonus points and puzzle answers really helped us this round. With out them we might have been in trouble xD It seems the tank design didnt go over well. Nor did the healing? Plus the confusion with ship type. But hey, we are still up there in points, and bringing in great teamwork even with irl busyness!

Great job darlings! Especially on the rp this time. It had great detail and even those who feel uncomfortable with story parts put so much work in to it!

We are really getting the hang of it as a team, and able to help one another more and more each week! Im having a blast getting to know you, and your ocs even better.

: Yay!! We went into that forest and really kicked some Bony Ass Butt!! Canons blazing, crashing through the sacred trees like a bull in a china shop, laying waste to anything that moved, spraying the place with toxic acid and making Rambo proud....wait....what? Oh, we weren't supposed to do it that way? Oh...my bad ( giggle ). We'll get it straightened out for next time. Congrats Teams!

Great work ! Special thanks to !

Need I say more, guys? YOU ROCK!!! ❤ I am so proud of how we manage to do well chapter after chapter despite so many of us being busy with RL and dealing with health issues. Give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back! :D

I don't get the healing part they mentioned and apparantly didn't like, I thought we had asked Rowan about it? all confused But since we still got base points for the RP, I don't really mind it haha

I'm glad we got the other bonus points for this chapter though :D

Yeah same xD Even other teams asked I thought, and with us likely changing to firefly, the whole "fairy ships take damage and ocs come out unscathed" wouldnt even apply to us. So a wound would be expected here and there.

I also dont think our tank top would do so much damage. And we wrote it as if we werent flying IN the actual forest, but above it, sniping and fighting from afar.

But hey Im with ya. We got a good score, so no worries there. I just hope to understand better if we fight next time. Gotta stop running by the seat of my pants and ask buttloads of questions 8D

tries to put out forest fire with a teacup Whoops... Maybe someone should call Obelix over to re-root those fallen trees?

Would it be possible to get some input on writing from the judges once the entire event is over?

What it boiled down to was that you created a flyer, not a floater. If you had tried to fly above the Seelie protections, you would either have been disintegrated by magic, or would have been caught in the Darkfog hovering above. Bottom line, it just didn't work. Yep, you were told that the damage wouldn't be calibrated until after the scenario, so fixing yourself ran us into the kind of situation where commented that the whole scale thing was an unrelated thing simply for fun. She was right, too, but that wasn't the original plan.

I'll see what I can do, but they do give up a huge chunk of time already, so no promises.

I totally get the glider bit ;D We misjudged that type of thing haha. What I was more curious of was the tank comment. I wasnt sure if another team had that also. Though I love friedas response to that lol.

I also dont mind the issue relating to the healing. I wasnt thinking at all about how the damage later was to heal and fix the ship. So thank you for the conformation on that. Ive been so braindead from this heat, and felt bad bugging you but want to stay on my toes so we can do even better next time.

Oh and I commented you about our ship class. I just want to make sure it sent. Ive had comment pings, yet no comment was there. As if they sent and it read that, but before getting to me the subeta void inhaled it. So who knows if it can eat mine also xD Especially as we want to have it fixed asap to give time to make outfits for pugsy if needed!

Thank you! It's absolutely fine if they don't have the time. I know about being busy. :)

Yes, there were two tanks in there, crashing through the forests happily, BOTH claiming to be "Faerie" gliders, both made of endless metal, armed to the teeth, and both "flyers."

Read 's comment above. As I said, it's the immortal Two Turtle Dilemma. Oh, yeah, both sea turtles, too, so completely out of their element. All in all, what a treat. :D

Now, THIS is a turtle!!

We had this kind of hitch last year too. I accidentally created a separate plot line. I thought I was being creative but didn't realize there was an actual thought out plot to take into account, even though we weren't privy to it yet.

Carefully begins planting saplings and saving up donations to the Seelie Arbor Day Foundation cough Well, that should help a little.... right?

OH, yes, SO much fun! But what family---er, adventure doesn't have its little ups and downs? :D

Hayao and Thorson are out there with quick grow portions, so it will get fixed.

Well, I'm glad at least we found out about this now, even though it's more work for you and for us at the moment, this is always better than finding out at the end of the adventure LOL

The comment about the tank has made me realize to think about the scene we're in more than I did, I hadn't about the trees surrounding us at all to be honest, so it really does help us to get better in the next chapters :)
