The requester has been in the thread today and okayed the posting of "hints" (I posted a long message earlier on that a page or two back).A note for anyone else doing the Cereal Bar HITs:
If you are the leader, you can and SHOULD have more than one command queued, ESPECIALLY when the follower is one hex away from finishing the current command. Even if you have no plan afterwards, you should probably at least send a "hold on," ESPECIALLY if you're going to take up your entire timer while you're at it.
--edit: This isn't too much "discussing content," is it? If it is I can delete it.
1. Try to include more than one step per instruction, lots of times I've used only 1-2 moves per turn when I could have moved to the next spot.
2. Don't stack too many messages because you end up a step or two behind and the follower ends up halfway across the map because the plan changed.
3. As a follower, try to keep up with new messages even though it does nothing to tell you about them, i.e. stop when you have one move left or when you hit your target and press the "next message" button to see if there's a new one.
