I'm not entering but questioning the legality of the demands to name members of YWS's two rival groups. I feel this would be putting several members in danger, as both groups are very secretive for their own protection.

I demand you take this question down immediately if you don't want innocent blood to be spilled.

Is it necessary to identify which group each members was a member of?
Also can you get extra credit for going above and beyond with certain questions (ex. naming more than 5 DMs, although that's a very easy example...)?

*edit: One more question: When you say "What name is given to the YWS administrators as a collective group?" does that include GMs?

First part, yes. Extra credit is top secret.

Second part, use your best judgment :P

Is it okay to reveal any of the answers after the olympics are officially over?

For questions with multiple parts to their answers (like number 3 in the medium section) what if we only get part of the answer? Will it be counted as not answered? Or if there are multiple half-answered questions can two be combined for one point? How is that going to work?

@AnnieBauthor We will reveal the answers at the end, though they may not stay revealed in case some of the questions are re-used in the future.

@WritingWolf The questions in the medium section are worth more than one point so if you give a partial answer, we may award you with 1 point.

... what @Rydia said.

ETA: and some answers we may not reveal, as per Stella's post ^^ Or we'll put them up, but in code.

Just wondered, for the "What is the url for the website YWSers flocked to in 2006?" question on the scavenger hunt, do we have to actually come up with the url, or just the site name?

I know I just answered this for you on chat (I don't know why it shows me as online sometimes when my laptop is in sleep mode), but: for the name you may get partial credit: but, we want the url for full credit.

Hopefully in the next day or two! We're pretty quick with marking, once everything's in our spreadsheet, so it should be quick. If not, we'll be sure to let you all know!
