I think it is a little frustrating to work in a mad rush to solve things when they are released, only to sit and wait while watching others come along and simply follow what you've figured out for them. But it seems from the way Donna described the rewards in the editorial, that they are also trying to allow for that and see that those that finish certain tasks first will receive a greater reward. I'm ok with that and only hope to be online when things are first released as often as I can.
Exactly, and remember, people who are just starting now missed out on the sand digging and the block moving, so there's no way they can get as many "points" as those who complete every step. I wouldn't worry about it.

As far as the other debate, regarding whether or not TNT is over their deadlines, well, honestly we have no idea when or what those deadlines are / were.
Exactly, again. Maybe they're late. Maybe they're early. There's no way any of us could know. They could be intentionally giving people time to catch up right now. Everyone needs to chill and stop acting like the plot is ruined just because it's been a few days. And furthermore, maybe the next clue HAS been released and no one's found it yet because we're all just sitting around waiting for more messages from the Rukis -- ever consider that?
On a final note, I know this probably makes me sound like a party pooper, but I am getting sick of the jokes and parodies -- especially the ones that try to trick us by looking plausible (I'm thinking of the "hey, you can get scrolls out of the temple now; go do it!"). I come to this thread for information on how the plot is progressing, not a lot of poo jokes and doctored pictures. I'm not a mod, so I can't make anyone do anything, but I really wish people would confine that stuff to a separate parody thread.
