    I just don't think it's fair when some have inside or privileged info on the answers in stuff like this and those of us who struggled without that info couldn't even get to the halfway point before the game was won.  And we asked and asked for a clue and thought we got one but then found out the clue was for other folks and it was of course the wrong hint for us and completely kept us stymied until the game was over.

    I had to get up early and run it all over again the next day as I had a very hard time with the clues as you did.  I wished he had left it up for a day as I enjoyed doing it the very next day without all the people around.  On some shards the EMs does something almost the same but leave it up as a self-paced and they turn in books for the promotion points.

    Yeah, I like that idea, we used to have quite a bit of stuff like that, done over a period of days or even weeks.  Gives everyone a chance and the satisfaction and of doing it and completing it. 
    I don't think a lot of folks care about a plaque in the rewardhouse that has your name on it, how many people even look at that house and the stuff that's in it.

    Ya I like the idea of doing them and turning points over towards promotion, I rarely go by the reward hall except when it times to lock down event drops.
