SESSION 2 - ROSE

[ On this section of the wall, a 3 x 3 grid has your flock's name on it:

You can also easily see the grids directly next to your flock's. The others, too, are visible, but you'll have to go out of your way to see what they look like.

You intuitively know you can tap the space you want to fill, and tap the symbol you want to fill it with. ]

[due to timey-wimeyness, even though they have all played this before, none of them remember it.]

What's with the flock colors on these grids?

I'm sure it's more than just aesthetic. A puzzle?

They kind of look like the same colors on the symbol key...

...What's with this order, though?

Maybe that's what we're supposed to figure out.

Maybe. Otherwise this order doesn't make any sense. Look, "Death and Rebirth" occurs twice in this row already.

It does... Many of them are in the same row, so it can't be that type of game.

But it has to relate to the others somehow.

Maybe if we rearrange them into the same order as the symbol key...?

Can we move the ones already in place?

[ He's making the attempt... ]

Looks like they're fixed.

Can't be that, then.

Looks like Angel Devil's drawing his own version.

Looks like we'll need to find out what the other team's blocks look like.

I'll go do some recon.

Paper. Pencil.

[She offers him paper and pencil, though.]

[squints at this chicken scratch]

[might as well be written in terran]

Fifty-fifty chance the red square is the top middle or middle bottom. Want to gamble with someone you don't like?

...Though it's actually a little higher that it's the middle bottom.

Odin's suggesting we try to solve the whole thing before submitting anything.

Are we taking orders from Odin of Thistle? Besides, it's already too late for anyone to do that. There's already some put in.

I'm happy to let him help us, though.

Ah. Isn't the human sense of community and collaboration so admirable?

[Nods as if he understands what's going on.]

[ He's going to be taking a look at everyone else's boards and back at their own. ]

[ Eyeing the boards they can see before them, then following Azdaja to take a look at the others... ]

The colors...

[ He looks them over properly. ]

Each of the symbols is associated with a specific color, and each of the nine grids contain all of the different symbols without repeating... Each region of the grid has a color to the flock name that may hint at the color that needs to be included, perhaps?

[ He's thinking to himself. ]

I wonder if we're to deduce the correct symbol and color placement by considering the symbols already filled in... wait...

That's it, isn't it? No symbol or color is repeated in any given row, column, or grid. Which means what we put in shouldn't clash with the other flocks...

Edited 2024-04-20 19:33 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that's about the shape of it.

And in that case, first we rearrange the blocks, then we logic out what symbols go in each cell.

Right. Which means we should look at what the others are doing, but it feels like the longer we take, the bigger risk we run of having to re-adjust what to put on our board.

[Starts guessing for fun.]
