Thanks, I'm okay now (still tired thou P:).

How about a different way to gain your food supplies up? Since there is a dislike for donation drives, maybe donating foods during the trail to keep the food up instead of only the hunting game. Keeps it diverse and it won't be as competitive and going crazy (making the site crash), because there are different options and it's not about donating as much as possible items, but keeping the food storage high.

I get that they were discouraged, but it's hard to sympathize with them since we were behind on the last trail leg and we didn't give up even though it was pretty obvious we weren't going to end up winning. The wind is what really did them in, and again, that just seems SO unbalanced. Hopefully the staff can fix that bit so it's more fair for each team in the next leg.

Overall I'm getting really sick of the trail stuff. I really hope this was the last leg like this and maybe there will be something different to do from the next temple to the top of the volcano.

[edit] OH thank god we're almost done with this.

Yeah, but also with the wind there is NOTHING they can do about it. The other obstacles even battling, we can do something to complete them.

But getting the wind 5 times, they just have to sit there.

I wish their team hadn't given up, but I can understand why they did.

let's hope that! Another two days on trail will not be fun!

I hope that hitting another temple means more prices! crosses fingers

I do sympathize, specially with those players who struggle and want to do the trail.

I am not sure if there is an easy way to implement percentage of activly playing users... I am not an expert when it comes to computers XD

I don't understand why the wind hasn't been removed completely. The monsoon is bad enough, and honestly running out of energy and stopping for 30 minutes is still better than the wind.

Here's hoping the next temple has some awesome prizes! -fingers crossed- Do you think doing the battling and games and what not at base camp will increase the number of plot points you get? I haven't really been doing anything at base camp because I've been lucky enough to usually catch all five activities on the trail (though I'm short one this time), but if we were to get more plot points by doing stuff there I'd actually start...doing stuff there. XD :P

No, it won't give you anything extra. You just need to complete your 5 activities for each portion.

Sweet! Thank you! ^_^ Soon as we hit base camp, I'm going to go take a shower. I'm still in my housecoat. LOL!

I agree. The wind isn't fun for ANYONE. Monsoon at least just halts you, the wind makes you efforts seem wasted.

There are some new items in the item directory (other than the new SubQ line released yesterday), if you want to check them out early. ;)

Esther's sunny days seem a bit OP now... but hey, we made it to base camp first...

No new items have been added to the directory yet, but I don't think the staff expected us to finish this leg of the trail so quickly. This is what, 4.5 hours ahead of how long it took us the first day?

JK. They were JUST added as I was typing haha

They were added before the new SubQ line so I didn't notice them. :P My bad!

Well I think it's safe to say we won this leg of the race.

I do sympathize with the team members still trying. I've been a part of site events where almost everyone else on my team has given up and I'm one of the few people still trying and being positive. It sucks. Still, I'm glad we haven't had to deal with that on our team.

But I agree that cycling through the same steps every other day is getting monotonous. I need something big to battle or anything else that would be a change of pace :P

OMG, what a lead! Great work everyone!

Yeah, I guess they were just added. I only thought to check when I saw someone mentioned the tomb thing again, and we were getting close.

Gosh we're gonna win by a 35% lead D:

I'm just glad we're almost to camp.

are we there yet...?! are we there yet...?!

I think as long as you get the 5/5 every day, you get the max? But Im not 100% sure on that

Me too
