Trying to get back to the original idea of this thread: it seems to me that FM is giving us a new format of the special event. In previous SE's, we would have a certain number of days to enter, followed by the number of days to complete the event. This event gave us nine days to enter and complete, period. Previous events allowed for early starters to post data, info, and hints. This event gives no such option. All of us are awaiting stage 9, and none of us knows what to expect. So, in a sense this SE is more like a LTS, in terms of number of days to complete. The difference being LTS have required PR, SE have recommended. SE have one stage per day, LTS can be completed straight through. Bot-slowing works in LTS, not in SE. Of course, FM will probably change this next update. It seems, more than anything, that FM wants to keep everything secret, and everyone guessing
