Hm, honestly, I think I'd prefer twice a day updates for this puzzle. With five people on a team (possibly less active players), there's a lot less chance for roleplay interaction. With it being a maze, there's less strategy and more random guessing. There can be a strategy to mazes, I don't find that nearly as fun, though. So I think the best bet is to try and go through as many possibilities as quickly as possible.
Also, you say that we get to ask that our path is correct exactly once? There actually is a strategy I can think of for that. I'll discuss it with my team.
And finally, it's the penultimate puzzle? That's good to know. I'll have to ramp up Taffy and Jess' mini-arc.

Addressing some of the questions!
Alas, no, no splitting up the teams. x3 We wouldn’t want you to be going down a pathway solo when [ spoiler ][spoilering][ spoiler ], you know. =O
Where majority voting is concerned, we’re thinking that three votes or more locks in the path for sure. At the time of a maze update, the path with the most votes will be taken, even if it has only been chosen by one or two people. If there’s a tie, the path will be chosen by RNG. We think the idea to upvote a team member’s OOC post to vote for a certain pathway is a really clever one! If your team goes with this method, though, it would be super helpful to us GMs if the final count and decision is made clear in the team PM, as well, though, please! (We’ll keep you posted on when the turn deadlines will be. For this current turn, we’re hoping to hear from a few more people about what kind of timeframe is preferred for the maze.)
If you want to use your one-time hint to ask if your path is correct, please try to make it official! Either by stating very clearly in your team PM, in OOC, or IC. (We don’t want to accidentally assume that people are only tossing around the idea of using it if they all definitely want to use it, or vice-versa.)

Based on the pattern of game activity, we have decided to go with a daily update schedule. We have tentatively scheduled the first update for noon EST tomorrow.

Apologies for not posting so much. Real life is... such a mess for me lately. I'm actually pretty sleep deprived right now, so lemme know if I made a mistake in my post!
Era's suggestion is still to go straight.
Anyway, my other reason for posting is that I almost posted a typoed version where Era took a pain poncho, and I wanted to make this error known eternally.

First off, before I forget: I suspect all these numbers are about to become relevant, haha. In other news, I started playing Miitopia again, and made Princess Sunshine because of course I did She likes tea (and gum apparently) and buying people weird gifts

Just popping in to say that I had fun doing the word search. 8D I even found 6 extra words! Do I get a gold star sticker?

Gold star stickers and bonus points for everyone!! *flings confetti* \ o /
Also, hey, sorry for the delay! Thinking we could do a maze update every day was probably a little overambitious of us. xD We hope you're having a good weekend (and appreciating mothers)! (When you get the chance, don't forget to decide which pathway you want your team to go down this time!)
*bows out, still sprinkling confetti*

Yay, Narratorpost! *Gets to the end of the Red Team part.* (No real spoilers here, I think? But just in case people want to figure it out on their own.) Hm... I wonder what they're saying. This'll probably take some time to work... ...
*Realizes.* ... *Bursts out laughing.* You glorious GMers.

Red Team puzzle: I do not know what it says. However, it is a Statler and Waldorf reference and that makes me very happy. The tradition continues!

Please remember to decide with your team on which way you want to go in the maze this turn! We'll be able to start drafting the next narratorpost and move forward when the moves are in!
And if we can make the RP more accessible or less stressful in any way for you, please also let us know. <3
In the meantime, keep being brilliant! \ o /

So I decided to try writing a summary of everything going on so far to help people catch up and to hopefully encourage activity! I got through most of it, until I came to the green and blue teams... And realized there's a discrepancy. Mainly, I think some of the assigned members of each team got mixed up. (Either that or I'm very confused.)
Which I don't think is necessarily a problem plot-wise, from what I can tell. But I am having trouble figuring out who's where. If anyone knows the lineup of their team, could they write it out for me? That way I can write a proper summary for those teams. Thank you! <3
EDIT: Post 44,444; woo!
