Special thanks to The Meeples; Tan Aik Chung, Loo Wern Ching, Lim Ming Yang for a giving me a space in their team.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Despite the CoC’s missteps in pitching a just right level of difficulty for the targeted hunters,  overall it was a good hunt.  Error free tulips, adequate time, huntable routes and  no long wait for the answers presentation.  They even gave out CD of the answer presentation after the hunt. The CD is indeed a nice touch especially to the new hunters who might wants to go thru it at their own pace.

If  anything,  I think using only part of a shop/company name is not very correct nor elegant.  For e.g  the answer  “De” taken from “De Zai Hair …..” or ‘Busana” from “Busana J&Z”.

CoCs should not try too hard to make it hard for the regulars.  Set tough questions if you must, but keep it simple, creative and smart.  COC should try to out-smart the hunters, not whack us on the head with a sledgehammer. Outwitted hunters will  willingly kick our own backs and want more. Injured hunters stay at home to recuperate for a long time.

Also for bigger crowd in their future hunts, the venue today is really not suitable.

Both Kroll and Hagi have shown great positive attitude towards feedback/suggestions from fellow hunters in the weeks leading to this hunt. They are willing to listen.

So I’m sure with this experinces under their belts,  their next and future hunts can only be better than their courageous effort today.

Congratulations to the Winners.
