Hi, Alison! Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We have taken note of your thoughts on future missions, and we think you'll be happy about the tone of our next mission. :)
Regarding the arguments post, our reasoning behind keeping the algorithm a secret was to encourage participation rather than cause any stress, and we're sorry that caused you undue anxiety! If we do another post like that in the future, we'll try to strike a balance between giving no information at all about what's expected and giving it all away, since we understand that being completely in the dark about it was probably worrisome.
We are currently discussing if an items post is necessary in future dossiers, and we're not quite sure what the right solution is. On the one hand, you're right that it is extra work for the mods, but on the other hand, it cuts down on players asking us if such-and-such item can be reasonably found. Right now, we're not sure what the future holds for items posts, but your opinion has been taken into consideration!
If there's anything else you'd like to add, don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks again!
