Mystery Hunt...finally over

Hooray for Setec, they found the coin this morning at about 9am. =_=;; And they're writing the hunt next year, which means it's NOT going to SUCK. >_<

and yes, this year's hunt sucked incomparably to the other year's hunts. >_< I could rant about it for hours, but basically:

1. Bad flavor text cluing
2. Answers inconsistent with puzzle structure
3. Too many difficult puzzles (they wrote 120+ puzzles in total, which is more than anyone ever has)

And that made for a miserable hunt. I spent hours on the "Shogun Trivia" puzzle before I found out it was a metapuzzle. >_< I also spent a long time on the "Merchant's Courtyard/MahJongg" puzzle because it was poorly clued as to what to do after I got the first step. >_< *grumble grumble*

I also have no clue how to solve the DDR puzzle, but I think it involves the light steps of those particular steps during those 7-17sec. clips...and boy is that a pain in the ass to do for 49 clips. Puzzles shouldn't be mindless grunt work, they should be puzzles. They should test your knowledge and your cleverness, not how much time you can spend looking at stepcharts and matching clips. >_<

Either way, Setec's writing the hunt next year, and Setec writes good hunts. ^_^ Really good hunts. The monopoly hunt was pretty good. So I look forward to next year. Hopefully our team will be larger...or I might join a larger team or something. ^^;;

Anyways...it was fun though, during the moments where I knew what to do and the moments where I solved puzzles. Those are the best. -_-;; And whoever wrote the "Turning Japanese/backwards Engrish" puzzle needs to be shot. Or at least have rocks thrown at him/her. >_< *unhappy*

I also think I have strep throat. My throat is killing me everytime I try to swallow. I don't want to talk or even try to eat. *pain* I could feel it coming on at Mystery Hunt, but it was a mild sore and nothing full blown like it is right now. @_@ Thank god I have some penicillin from the last time. I might have to travel to campus tomorrow or tonight and get it checked out. >_< *grumble grumble grumble*

Had a dream about cosplay last night. Involved Cocoa and her friends, and Roni and I. Much cuddling ensued for some odd reason, despite us all being excited about being in our X costumes and going to Jamba Juice. I love dreams when it's summer, and not cold as hell. ¬_¬ And when I'm not sick. I hope the penicillin makes me feel better. >_<
