W&C AC invite!!!!! really was not expecting that.

I know a few people who did the Slaughters one and never converted, but I think Links gave 100% of vac schemers a TC.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful! I'm always worried about asking something dumb at the end haha.

Yes

Same, thats a nice surprise :D

You have unlimited prep time anyway apparently.
