Proposal for next challenge.

[Nola]

I think it's a great idea. It would bring structure so that different people could follow the leads that best suit their problem solving skills.

However, setting that up takes time, and the norm before the last 2 puzzles had been that we could solve them in a few minutes with just random interaction.

So I think we need a "participating" mod, who would make the call of when to switch from brute force solving to organized solving. You need some time of brute force (a couple of hours), to determine how many leads have been developed.

So how about it mods? Who can take the lead here? I'd be happy tom but I'm not always available at puzzle time.

Again, great idea.

you could have like a core thread for discussion of the general topic and different ideas, then that could link off to the various discussion topics that it generates. kinda like a hub, with nodes around it, or something.
or axons...

drones?

An interface like this made in flash would be nice that would be connected to the forum posts. And would have an summary space for the recently and "What we have so far..." criteria.

Yep, some organization is needed. I think that we all probably know a little bit more about how to go about solving challenges now after that little fiasco. I actually like the message boards at Slashdot where readers can rate the messages so that the more important posts don't get lost in the threads. Too bad that option isn't avaliable here.

I think it's a great idea. I was thinking about the same thing about 16 hours ago. Once the next challenge shows up we should find the various angles to approach from and divide the threads (assuming the next challenge has more than one thing to look at).

So shall we get started with the truth? Someone start a thread so we can work on this truth picture. It's supposed to bring revelation, right?

[masterson]

great idea!!!!!!!! the best one yet. we should do that with all the colonies too. UNITY. sorry. but using the first hour or so to figure leads is a good idea, then post what you found, compare it against others and so on and so forth.

[masterson]

and i also think that the boards could use a little cleaning. maybe go through the old challenges and take what was important to them and keep a little summary obout it.

Time to put this into practice with the 6 pic riddle... I will need the supporters of this initiative to steer people to the appropriate thread. For now, I'll open 2 threads: Find the missing pics... and Follows the clues.
