Day One

There are a couple things I forgot to mention in the last post. The first is that if a mission is failed, everybody loses. If you're not close enough to reach the target in time, giving a hint to somebody who can is in your best interests, as you'll still earn points for the hint and the Game will continue.

The second is that each person must have a Partner. This way, there's always two people to look over any given mission from all angles, and to find insights that the other might miss. My Partner this game is Reckless Pawn. Also, if your pair wins the Game, then you're able to enter the next week immediately. If not, you have to wait a week to play again.

So, we got the Mission this morning:

"Locate the Woodland Guardian. You have 120 minutes. Fail, and face Erasure.

- The Reapers"

I didn't really know of any "Guardians" off the top of my head, so I got down to thinking. The area had to be in the city limits, which stopped the forests up the canyon from being candidates. It also meant that anything on the mountains was non-applicable. This left about three parks. We went to the first one, and, by a stroke of luck, happened on the answer.

The entrance to the park has a large wooden bear, carved onsite by a chainsaw artist several years ago. I took a photo

and sent it to the Moderator. 

And I was right! That means the first day's mission has gone to yours truly. Take that, Bishop.
