Sam4207158 and Big Tedies find the good crates before the first hour is out
The seed is 669039719, the map runs 4250, and Thursday's wipe rolled out at 14:00 sharp. For forty minutes the island sat in the kind of silence it never keeps for long. Then the first keycard hit the first door, and the familiar business of getting looted the moment it exists resumed on schedule.
By 14:42, Sam4207158 had swiped a level two card at G16 and walked out with the season's first elite loot inside fifteen seconds of getting the door open. Four minutes later Big Tedies matched him at W15, having run the level one and level two swipes back to back in under twenty two seconds flat, as if the card reader owed him money. Two other residents, EasyStr33t at J4 and #?tonza at P9, got their level one swipes in earlier but no crate to show for it yet. The season is twenty eight days old in theory and forty seven minutes old in practice.
Fog sat at thirty five percent over the opening hour. No rain, no thunder, nothing to slow anyone down.
Five swipes and the island's already been let in on itself
The first door of the season opened at P9 at 14:40, forty minutes after wipe, courtesy of #?tonza. EasyStr33t and Sam4207158 followed within the next two minutes at J4 and G16. Big Tedies took the more scenic route at W15, running level one and level two in the same breath, twenty one seconds apart, which is either efficient or suspicious depending on how the island feels that day.
The first two elite crates go to Sam4207158 and Big Tedies
Sam4207158 cracked the season's first elite loot at G16 at 14:42, well inside the first hour. Big Tedies answered from W15 at 14:47, four minutes and a full monument apart. Nobody else reached loot before the ledger closed for this issue, so for now the board has exactly two names on it and plenty of room left.
Someone crosses 400 hours logged on this seed before the finale, and it probably isn't one of Thursday's first responders.
Big Tedies' twenty one second double swipe at W15 does not survive the season as the record. Somebody on this island always wants it more.
EasyStr33t, already carrying a little over 108 hours before the paint on the wipe has dried, ends up somewhere near the top of the hours board by day 28.
Whether Sam4207158's forty three minute run to the first crate stands as the season's fastest, or whether hunger gets faster.
How far EasyStr33t's hours climb from a standing start of 108, and whether his NPC count reaches that category's top ten.
Whether Big Tedies keeps clearing both card levels at W15 inside half a minute, or whether the island finally makes him wait.
