Floating map, just got one.
kind of a poor start... i had to come here and look at the comments to realize that only the word 'food' was clickable in the green bar, and not the entire bar itself, which, y'know, makes more sense? especially since the word 'energy' isn't clickable at all. some clarification (and by some, i mean a lot) would be extremely helpful in the news post.
A flock of lains stole your team's map and flew away with it! They ripped it into pieces and flew off in different directions; your team will need to search all over Subeta to find it again and continue on!
@Amber Yes, I realized that after I read your post, but it wasn't really clear to me because, as in my second post, it didn't specifically say that we didn't have to worry about energy that way. It mentioned 5 tasks per day and each task will only count once. I assumed that the energy bar was there as something we could click on to get energy faster or something since it didn't say anything about not needing food, nor did it say what other tasks there could be. Just food and energy, and energy isn't a task.
Also, Adventure Captain here. Didn't know there were diff names. I need to start grouping my posts, sorry about that
Only the word "food" (not the colored box around the word itself) is clickable. I will keep gathering food I guess!

Energy relates to food, which you get via the game, so it's not clickable. It's in the blurb at the top of the page. :)If your food stores drop below 50%, your energy bar will begin to deplete, and if it hits 0 your team will be forced to rest for 30 minutes to gain it back - that’s valuable time that could give the other team an advantage!
Okay, why was the explanation here when it wasn't in a board? I'm still confused about everything. Do we just keep playing the hunting game even though it only counts as helping once, and if so, does it add to our food stores?
"Food" is not a clickable word. Where are people finding links to these supposed activities? Tip to staff: users don't want to have to hunt down obscure, hidden links to participate in things, especially big huge plots. Please be clear and direct.
okay now i'm EVEN MORE EXCITED for this event. oregon trail is my entire childhood. plus we get matlal so clearly i made the right team choice.
There's probably no point in playing the food game if our food bar is full. We could start a group board like Rah said and ping for when it starts to go down and when the obstacles appear?
Great start? Ha! Nope. I really wish you guys would be more prepared every time we have a plot! Don't get me wrong, I love the plots and sincerely appreciate all the effort, but it seems that for every plot event things just... suck. I mean, no explanation. You have food and energy bars and only food is working right now, and takes five seconds to play and it only counts once. I can't click on the energy bar, so what the frick are the other three things to do?? Shouldn't you have released them when you started this plot??
So the game is relatively simple, but the directions could be a little more clear to say that you have to shoot at ALL food to collect it. I wasn't expecting to have to shoot bananas to get them. =/
Okay, I've shot dozens of Happy Pineapple Guys, and massacred dozens of Scuttling Banana Dudes. Now what?
Anyone else getting bugs with the food shooter game? space bar only fires once then stops working all together..
I wondering if at midnight there will be a whole new set of activities for that day or 24 hours from 6:00 pm today...
Okay, cool, I guess I'll just hang out being an Adventure Captain while waiting for the rest of the activities, then. :)

Ok guys - if nothing is happening yet, that means the path is clear! You are on your way forward and things are going well. There will be obstacles along the path, that you will have to work together to clear. It might be a good idea to set up team boards and ping groups! If you're still confused once we've hit a few obstacles, that's the point to ask questions.
In the mean time, you mostly want to make sure your food stores are kept full by playing the hunting game - there is no energy game! Energy will keep up as long as your food stores keep up. If food stores drop below 50%, then energy will begin to drop.
The trail is TIME-BASED. It's not going to be a step that's over in 5 minutes ;) (Also, we may alter things along the way, this is obviously a new sort of feature for us and we may make adjustments)

I shot at food and it says you have gathered food for your team. Do we keep doing this over and over? Maybe when there is enough food we will be able to work on energy?
You have completed 1/5 activities today.
I tried playing again - it didn't even ask me, if I wanted to send my first lousy score, but counted it at once. Started with the food part, cannot choose the energy part. More food game will not count. Is this supposed to happen. Actually I didn't wwant to have to start the adventure at midnight anyhow :-(

I hope more info will come on what other activities to complete. I chose Team Gold but now with Matlal and Adventure Captain, team Blake is starting to sound more appealing. ;~; oh well
So honestly, my assumption is that all five activities are not going to be available each day immediately, but rather are released in segments throughout the day? I mean, I could be wrong, as I know just about as much of what's going on as the rest of you, but that's kind of the notion I'm getting from the instructions. So perhaps we just need to wait and make sure our food/supplies are in order until our team runs into an "obstacle," and that's when the next activity will be released?
the greatest adventure of all is not being given any clear instructions and having no fucking idea what's going on
Yeah I'm utterly lost... I got food 1/5 activities done ok... how do you help your team, how do you get the other 4 tasks done... ugh I am so stupid...
time to chill out with a movie or something and hope to come back to the elusive other four activities
Matlal, preventing curses, adventure and well we knew there would be Blake from the start. <3 Pfff, who needs gold when you can have friends and a crazy witch doctor?
I've gathered food and done one activity but even if I play more I don't get any more activities done. :/ What else is there?
