Failing that, I'll be using "Harsh Language!"
Guys, is there by any chance a standard trend in treasure/clue hunts similar to this as to what a lie is? Is it usually a "statement related to the truth but opposite/different in values/amounts", or is it "just random gibberish that should be discarded entirely", or there is no such trend/standard?
Basically, if Dillon is the liar in the end, should we bother analysing what he said qualitatively but not quantitatively? Or should we ignore his stuff entirely?
Of course, i still strongly believe, as i posted recently, that we shouldn't overextend ourselves until we get the last clue of the day.

Yeah, already checked a few minutes ago, see my previous message #14631
I assume the lie was about the star type, since that is the only thing for which we have an alternative bit of info as of yet

Thats what happens if you make a big announcement and then when the day comes spread breadcrumbs, one every 5 hours.
The latitude 34 clue is going to run everyone into a serious current bug.
The compass and coordinate systems for planets don't match up. North and south are reversed with each other, as are east and west.
I've raised a bug report about this. The South Pole of any planet is -90 latitude. I made my bearing 0 degrees (due north) and the latitude began moving towards -90.
When I actually crossed the south pole, my bearing changed to 180. Flying south from the south pole. Hmmmmmm.
Just in case anyone isn't aware of this, navigating planets is made even harder given we don't even get our compass in orbital cruise. You need to reverse your bearings when you're flying to get where you want.

Im sure my cousin would rather swap.
All this hype for some breadcrumbs and no aliens. [zZzZz]

in astronomy usually the body is standing on her head, and reversed . but that does not alter the twisted compass

Too late for me.
But nevermind, I will read the whole story about this newest FD epic fail tomorrow at work.
...and then let some plonker burn the first breadcrumb to a crisp.

This is such a shame. I really wanted to get involved in this hunt but most of it was sorted before I even managed to log on this afternoon, and had moved so fast that I've spent just the rest of the time trying to catch up. If I were able to join in, it would probably be over before I could fly my Python over to the correct system... Which is what again? There's been so many already!
All this hype just to get ganked... not going to take part in any more of these public farces, back to solo for me. Open always ends the same way.
