Who is supposed to do the maze connection thing? The solver?

Yes, the solver, and only the solver. Nobody in the challenge is allowed to directly communicate with anyone else or post in the thread or in slack. Complete silence from everyone except to me.

bowmore posted:

can we print it out and do it with a pen?

i mean if you want, dealing with slow scan times/print times if you're wrong.

Lumpen posted:

If a maze is solved incorrectly, does it get kicked back to the runner to try again?

if you think that a maze is incorrect, it will be sent back to that runner. Pro-tip to everybody, to both puzzle solvers, wait until you have all three mazes before deciding something is incorrect, because you may not have the full picture.

You can start at any point in the maze, and leave at any point, the only rule being you cannot backtrack or cross a path you already traveled in that maze run.

The puzzler will be tasked with figuring out which infamous 8 bit video game quote the collected letters spell out. But not only must you figure out what the quote is, you must connect your collected mazes in a triforce shape. You will know if your quote is right because path from each of the three mazes should connect. If they don't, then a maze is wrong.
First bit's kind of weird, but I guess the second bit explains it.

Is there 6 different mazes or 3?

Oct 20, 2006

Remember everyone, you're trying to spell out a phrase as a whole. Your puzzle may not have a complete word in it, it may only have parts of one or two words. Additionally, your path will be the letters in order, they will not be jumbled.

STING 64

Another lifeline, the phrase is 12 letters long.

Runners, you should be collecting exactly four letters for your maze.

First thing I did before the challenge even started was I look up a bunch of video game quotes and eliminated all the ones that didn't had exactly 12 characters, there were only three on my list and A winner is you was one of them.

Then once I confirmed that was the only one of the three that could be solve I just kept sending the mazes back until they got it.

For what it's worth, I figured out the phrase really early, I was just waiting on the puzzle solvers to send me the right combination of lines.

Original Abutans, especially those of you on Newbotin who've been with her throughout, would you please share some words about Blackcross as a player?

Honestly, Blackcross was probably the player I was closest with, particularly after the tribe switches, sorry to see her go, she was good peoples but if you can't play due to innanets, not much can be done.

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.
