The journals also contain a number of dates which you might try entering into the observatory. There is at least one date associated with Sirius and one with Achenar.

You wouldn't happen to have those dates handy, would you?

FL murdered both rarity and viva at bif's insistence. bif pushed it on to FL as she was apparently expecting me to try and stop any killing action, which would have led to me attacking FL if I had that in my actions

i feel like it's not a very surprising outcome, given the incredibly large build up to it. I think bif didn't want to keep hitting them on the head every night basically.

I'm not going to abrogate all my responsibility for this, I probably still wouldn't have killed them if I hadn't been convinced it was a good idea.

There's some stuff we learned yesterday, some of which Bif alluded to, that made this the right call.

A thing is going to happen that has the possibility to lead to the death of someone over here, though that's not for certain. Y'all should know it's not because of a bamboozle, but due to a dangerous test.

So the dangerous mission is to play Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.

Bags is the bomb defuser, and there needs to be 5 people (3 of which must be players in this game) to be the manual readers.

Max has volunteered and so have I. Is there anyone else who is good at this game and wants to volunteer to participate.

You will need to be available at 5:30 Pacific/8:30 Eastern tomorrow (Friday) for at least an hour to play and also it would be preferable if we could get some practice in all together.

Who wants to help?

Yeah I started to try and read the rules and I feel like this is the kind of thing where I'd be completely lost and not-that-useful.

If there's a lack of volunteers I can play.

I've followed some of the current Let's Play of that game. It seems like something I would really get into, but I haven't worked out yet what that is in my timezone. I'll check soon to see if I could participate.

I'm a day late but fwiw this week's Official Confessional Prompt is:

What's missing? What do you or your character need in order to progress?

alternatively: Which of your victory points matter? Do you have any guesses as to the three hidden conditions?

Okay, Bagshot and volunteers, I recommend watching this video. We will obviously not be on this guy's level, but it may inspire you.

https://youtu.be/5BhHkvHcUfo

Watch how he gives the info, moves on to let the expert work, and keeps tabs on the needy modules in between. The needy modules can be a worry if you forget about them.

Volunteer experts: watch how it's important to keep the chatter down. Pipe up to signal when you're ready with instructions, but if the defuser is busy and tells you to wait, stay quiet and wait.

In the short time we have, the most important thing for everyone is to get familiar with what each module looks like and what it's called. Then let us know if any look like too much of a pain for you, or which ones look easy to you. Perhaps we can assign certain types of modules to certain people ahead of time.

Consider this me putting my hand up.

Yes, we will have a chat tomorrow and probably a practice round or two in order to better get into sync, since the first few rounds are always rough. We can talk about preferred modules and methods that work well. I'm poo poo at complicated wires, but great at Morse code. I had a good system for the one where you need to remember the positions but I need to remember it.

If you're great at Morse code I'll be happy to ignore that one entirely. Maybe I can work on complicated wires since I am fond of Venn diagrams.

I'm good at that one. We've been talking about this in our channel, but the plan is to assign each person certain modules so there is no cross talk.

It's Saturday morning over here, I'm in. Hope we can start working out who's on what module soon, though. Btw the time you gave, is that when we start the real attempt so we gotta get in our practice by then?

I just woke up for a bit but I feel the best thing I can do to prepare more is to sneak in a bit more sleep.

We don't need everyone to be awesome, you just need to be able to do 1-2 modules.
