Should we set some kind of guideline on when we should reveal the sets? This could take a pretty long time otherwise...

Yeah...maybe just have a way to show 'em both immediately once they're both posted. Sounds like a lot of busy work for Matt though...don't know how else it could be done.

Sorry, I should have explained this better. There are no more timed reveals, now that the Goblins have won the first set. They have the serve, and hense, they post their set first publicly. The Mimics get to respond to this. Those two new timed reveal tags will be disregarded, and the Goblins will get to serve again.

I see... so essentially, the onus to win a point is on the team who lost the last point. Sort of like volleyball. The Goblins, having won the first point, have a disadvantage on this point, but will have a long term advantage since they don't have to win any points "on serve" unless the mimics win one on serve first.

Ok, I removed my reveal above. It's up to the goblins to post the next move, now.

I've sent a PM round suggesting the next set - if no-one posts anything in the next 18 hours or so I'll post that one.

Wait a minute...somebody's confused, and it might well be me. We're not scoring points here like is done in a game of volleyball, are we? Mr. Bob said that whoever gets more points (out of 3) wins each round, but you win regardless of whether you actually served the round, right? In other words, you can still win rounds even if the other team did the serving, right? Or do you only win match points if you win when you are serving?

You win match points regardless of who's serving. Incidently, that is how olympic volleyball is scored now (and they go to 25 with a lead of 2 instead of 15).

What happens with a tie? Does that just get ignored and we go onto the next round with the same team serving? Or, since being able to tie while serving is a pretty good effort, will there be some advantage to the serving team (ie swaps serve or get a point or something)..

That's a good idea, but for consistency's sake, I'm going with what I (hopefully) said in the rules. In the event of a tie, no point is scored and the serving team retains the serve.

Edit: My exact quote was, "The serve always belongs to the last team to win a round."

I knew I shouldn't have tried this with a bunch of puzzle gamers.

Quit conferring with one another! Let's pick up the pace! We've been on Challenge #3 for weeks!
