I don't know about you guys, but the trade off of spending ASPs compared to the winning prizes doesn't seem worth it at all in this one.

I should have my description done no later than 6pm. What is a good time to hand it off to our first artists?

Agreed, considering how expensive those advantages are, I'd definitely advocate against spending those points on them. Considering that we've always had more than enough resources to sustain ourselves this game, and tributing them isn't a basically-required aspect, the prizes for the winners aren't even that much better than those for the losers. (Unless the music box does something really terrible, lol.)

Time starts when the second one is delivered, so if you're done first you can do it at any time. Just post in this thread to let everyone else know.

Please remember to include color in your description​s.

To answer your question, Chouchou, I should be able to start anytime, but if I get the descriptions too late in the evening, I may need to delay that. 6 PM should be okay for me to still start right away, if Pagaya has also finished by then.

Yeah I definitely don't think it's worth spending so many points on a simple reward challenge. There's no immunity at stake and the prizes are lukewarm at best; we would lose more than we would gain doing this.

I almost forgot that we had these, lol.

Law makes sure to eat this slowly and sensually, right in front of the Kyubukai members, like the sadistic bastard I am.

Kabu concurs!

The individual reward doesn't seem that great either. We could potentially even try having Garp and Alvida win it so their stats get back up to snuff.

On that note, since we do have these, we probably don't need to hunt as much food right now, since we have more than the numbers say we do thanks to all those yummy dishes we made.

Also, any guesses as to what the Major Challenge will entail? "Quickness" to me suggests a spam challenge, "puzzling" suggests solving some kind of puzzle(s), and "togetherness" might be some time of team activity or consensus we need to reach?

I'm really curious about the next challenge too and it definitely won't be one I'll be sitting out. Puzzles are too much fun.

That togetherness component could mean a lot of things...

I honestly don't know yet. I like to work on puzzles but the idea of doing them fast scares me a bit.

Am I the only one having fun really emphasizing words when you read them? It's so much fun to make them really stand out!

Right? Italics are so useful in writing pretty much anything, I can't imagine what it's like to live life without them. Probably very boring, I'm guessing.
