My apologies for the lack of posts, but, as you probably gathered, the new week hasn't started yet. The Moderator got really weird for a little bit. We think he got the flu from standing in that river. He got super into the Game for a little bit, planning missions and everything. Poor guy's dreams were crushed when we reminded him that he's not allowed to moderate two Weeks in a row.
We have a new one this week, though he insists on being called the Game Master, which, technically, is the correct terminology anyways. The new Week will be starting on Tuesday, I believe, so I'll start updating then. A new list of Players will be coming tomorrow.
Also, the game masters are the strangest people. This newest one is absolutely, positively obsessed with music. Hopefully it doesn't leak over into the missions, but, well, I haven't exactly had the highest regard for the Game Masters for the past few games.

Day 7
The last day.
Mail came: "Find the Moderator. You have one hundred and twenty minutes. Fail, and face Erasure.
- The Reapers"
We weren't able to find him, though Bishop did. Apparently he was standing in a river or something, in the middle of October.

Day 6
This day has gotten weirder and weirder. We got the mail:
"Locate the forest bunker. You have three hundred minutes. Fail, and face Erasure.
- The Reapers"
The Moderator scooted around the rules by technically having the location be in the city limits, although you have to drive for a good twenty minutes to get there, which meant we walked for an hour and a half or so. Reckless kept checking behind him and seemed to be getting more and more nervous. He said that somebody was following us, but every time I turned to look, I didn't see anyone. We located the bunker no problem, it's an old storage shed that was emptied out several years ago, and local kids use it for paintball and airsofting.
It was all graffitied inside, but I noticed something odd: the Recusant's Sigil was spraypainted on one of the walls.
After we left, Reckless kept getting more and more nervous. He was shaking as we walked and looked like he was getting sick. He kept coughing as well, all the while checking behind him.
The last time I looked back, though, I saw somebody too...

Day 5
Well, I know why he wanted a pen, now.
"Locate the Recusant's Sigil. You have 120 minutes. Fail, and face Erasure.
P.S. You might want to look under the awning.
- The Reapers"
This led to a long scavenger hunt. We located the correct awning, which was on the same street as the Moderator was on yesterday. It led us to a school, where we found another note behind a recycle bin, which then led us to the park. Unfortunately, Scott and Damon beat us to it and took the picture first, which means we lost this Day.
Also, the Recusant's Sigil, for those of you unaware, is
*SPOILER ALERT*
the "X" used by Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts to mark various things. However, this Sigil was slightly different, though considering our inspiration. A binding circle had been drawn around it, but the prongs of the X still protruded from the circle. I didn't get a picture, sadly, though I should have.

Day 4
"Obtain an author's best friend and return it the Moderator. You can find him on <street removed>. You have fifteen minutes. Fail, and face Erasure.
- The Reapers"
This came right in the middle of lunch, so I was freaking out. We grabbed a pen, pencil and notebook and booked it to the street in question. We beat out Bishop by about ten seconds, thank goodness, so we won today.
It was a weird mission, though. Why would he want a pen and notebook, and why did he want them so quickly?

Day 3
Today was a little weird. I had the most terrible headache throughout most of the day, and I had bronchitis a few days ago. It started out normal, though, with the mission mail coming at about 3:00.
"Attention: a Reaper has been stationed near the retired movies. Erase him. You have 120 minutes. Fail, and face Erasure.
- The Reapers"
This one was fairly new, since, in my two years of playing the game, the mission has never been to Erase somebody, though it's a perfectly legal mission (Erasing other Players, however, is illegal). The retired movies obviously meant the discount theater.
We had to be careful, though. Reapers take 5 hits to take down, whereas players only take one, and Reapers get automatic paintball guns. This meant that we had to employ a bit of strategy. He was hanging out behind the theater before the main rush, so nobody really saw us ambush him. I shot from one side, while Reckless Pawn shot from the other, then we split in opposite directions and continued to harry him. He took him down before he could really hit us. We then asked him to send a message to the Moderator to confirm our victory.
And then he got mad. He was all red in the face and livid. Apparently the Moderator hadn't told him that he was the target for today. He started screaming and yelling at us. My head started hurting like hell and my asthma flared up, so I started to cough.
But that wasn't the only thing.
I saw somebody behind him, trying to sneak up on us, but he wasn't doing a very good job of it. Dressed in black, and he looked like he was wearing a mask of some sort. I pointed it out, but then a coughing fit came over me. I was vaguely aware that both turned to look. My coughing fit subsided, and since the Reaper had stopped shouting, my headache faded to a dull throb, thank God. It was weird, though. The Reaper didn't see the guy, but my Partner did.
The Reaper was still pissed at us, but let us go, since that was technically the mission. So, we won today. That's two missions for us, one for Bishop.
I also just found out that two Players (Ice and Falen) ambushed the wrong Reaper and got Erased.

Day 2
Scheisse. We lost this one.
"Reach the derivation of 336x^2. Send a photograph of the result.
- The Reapers"
I never thought it was actually an address, the only 672 in the city. Bishop beat us there. So far, it's tied.
I forgot, I will be keeping a list of players in each post.
