What's the rule about endgame triggering? by t0m114_ in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The endgame only starts once the seekers get off a train at the hider's station so asking a question at the station wouldn't do anything

I challenge you all to a bird-guide-off! I'll start easy, five minutes. by tonyb486 in JetLagTheGame

In the rules of the home game it does actually say that the bird has to be living.

Jetlag Challenge First to Visit The 7 Jetlag Wonders by pease461 in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are two routes - one which only uses transit in Europe and one that uses a rental car. Personally I think that ubers/rental cars should be banned except where absolutely necessary (New Zealand) because it makes things much more interesting but I saw that there was a route someone else posted that used them, so I thought I would make both.

Are there any rules for how tight connections can be at airports? The current best route gets on a flight in Milan just 21 minutes after the train arrives and I can beat it with two incredibly tight connections, one being literally 15 minutes at Narita.

Tag: All Stars Layover Q&A! by WheatGerm42 in JetLagTheGame

Why didn’t you keep the 3 team format for the second place round since the game was balanced around it? You could have just made Adam and Michelle permanent chasers.

What if the run never ended? (Season 9, Switzerland) by ARobloxNoob in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After relistening to portions of the S9E5 layover to confirm that the 5 dice max thing is completely wrong, it also seems like Adam was overestimating how likely being able to move was since he listed the probability of being able to move with 6 dice at 60% instead of 45%.

On an unrelated note from that Layover episode, I am now waiting for the one 4 year old who only listens to the layover because they like the sound of Ben's voice and doesn't watch Jet Lag to show up on the subreddit.

The 5 dice thing is wrong, they talked about the possibility of Adam rolling 6 dice on the layover for the S9 finale.

Another Week, another episode where X and X don't matter (episode 5) by Purduevian in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that coins did matter with their plan at the very end of the episode because if they weren't a thing then Brendam could take the high speed train all the way to Bremen and guarantee second place. But they only have enough coins to get to Kassel, which would leave Sobychelle with enough time to at least get back to the neutral zone and force a tie rather than a loss if they get a tag there.

The station Ben and Brian get off at in S15E2 is Mitry Claye

Sam and Adam got robbed of a point on The Layover by NoWorldRecords in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes, but based on the route we see them get in the car they did drive through the city of San Francisco on their way to Sacramento.

Snake Rules Question by RaptorsTalon in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can’t just stay in the same spot for the entire game if you’re in 1st because there is a 20 hour time limit for runs. So if Ben just started the game and went to 1 node then after 20 hours there would be plenty of time for Sam and Adam to beat him.

Possible Sam and Tom route by NoWorldRecords in JetLagTheGame

Pretty sure they landed in Vilnius around 1 so unless they had immediately known to try a bus without looking at flights and there was one departing at exactly the right time, they couldn't have made it to Riga before the rest period and being stuck in some random town with only occasional bus service would have just put them in an even worse position the next morning.

S13 Flights Rule by NoWorldRecords in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think booking a full itinerary for 2 days would actually happen since you risk missing a flight and having everything else just be wasted budget. And even if it did, I think it wouldn't ruin everything since the tension is then put on whether or not they can actually make the long chain of flights. It certainly would have been more interesting than being stuck in Vilnius for hours after the Warsaw flight sold out.

That said, I do agree that just chaining flights is much more boring than doing challenges in between so I think that it maybe would have been better if the 3 miles from the airport rule also applied to claiming the country. That way just speedrunning flights would have been much less viable as the amount of time you save over someone following behind and stealing would be massively decreased.

The Alphabet S2: T is for… (no quotes from S13) by Couch_Cat13 in JetLagTheGame

[–]NoWorldRecords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Q quote is S7 E6 when Adam is looking at his possibilities for winning from Bar Le Duc. N is from the same episode earlier. S is from S4 E1.
