I believe that Rule 2 means that people can help each other. Right? Because of the way it was worded I'm not so sure. So I figured I'd ask before getting together with my team to help each other out.

I'm not a contestant, but I have a question. Can we other people lie give false clues to harden their spirits if they ask us something?

You trust me and Heather putting this together in the first place? :P

On this, @Rydia, feel free to weigh in, too!

So, this is an individual event, so you can't submit a single set of answers for one team. So, you can help each other, but it'll end up hurting you in terms of score, because your teammates will then have the same answers you do. So, I won't say you can't, but remember that the more right answers your team has, the harder it will be to place in the event!

For the question about the URL everyone flocked to in 2006... I have two guesses as to the actual name of the site. And I just really want to know which is right! But I don't know who to ask. =( I'm not even sure if I'll do the scavenger hunt or not. I just want to know the answer to that question.

Oh, I know! If anyone wants to tell me (correctly), I will give you 50 points!

Yes, what she said! You're probably better agreeing to give someone a clue about a question they are stuck on if they do the same for you :)

A clarification question!

Name five members of each of the two YWS rival cults.


So, if we answer this question correctly, we should be naming ten people? Also, do double agents count? :P Or, should we name ten different people? (Which would be harder, considering the amount of double agents there eventually were...)

Yep! Though I'm sure @Rydia will tell me if I'm wrong ;)

Double agents are fine, but shouldn't encompass your entire list. Also, you'd better give me proof they were double agents! I'm not entirely sure I know the full list of them, still :P

There were a couple double agents! I remember walking in San Francisco and talking with one such double agent. Lots of reminiscing was done -- good times!
