    Let me try to clear this up a bit. The reason there are teams is precisely so that one person is not doing all the work. You can arrange so that one person each day is taking the picture. That way, if one person is away that day, or for some reason can't do it, another team member can cover for them. Of course, if one person really wanted, they could volunteer to do all the work, but any group event is like that. If your whole team is in Jadugar's position, (no camera, no family closeby, no friends) then the event will be re-evaluated. Otherwise, just take it like it is, lighten up, and have some fun. The items will not be hard to get. We're going to try to keep it to things that you would probably have in your house. We're not going to make you traipse all around the countryside looking for things. And even if you really can't find something, notice that completeness only accounts for half the total points you can get. You can get a better score overall than another team which gathered all the items if you do well on style and creativity.

    xDM, the reason all the items have to be in a single picture, instead of submitting separate pictures of each of the items is to prevent cheating. It's really easy to find images on google, or online photo galleries of single items. It's really difficult however, to google images of a specific collection of items. Also, scoring would be much more difficult if each team was submitting a different number of pictures. It would be hard to make it fair.

    This is a challenge, and as GWS progresses, the challenges are different, and they get harder. Not every event can be something you know you're good at. Be versatile, and work with your team.

    At any rate, we're not sure when this event will begin, due to the server problems that gotwoot has been having. Deadfire will update you when we know more.
