Hey blizzers, thanks for playing!

We had a lot of fun running this CTF. For context, this is the SECOND blaze CTF we ran, the first one being in 2016. We forgot about 2017. We had quite a few more challenge authors this year, plus an interesting TWIST to blast us into drug dealing in 2018 -- blockchain.

While overall the CTF ran well, we know there were some difficulties. Here is what we heard / know so far:

* Kernelmode challenges needing to be re-solved after unintentional stuff was patched -- We made sure this didn't affect top scorers. Apologies. Next year we will put more thought and tighter controls to automate/lockdown QEMU based challenges. Thanks to @vakzz / opentoall(I think?) for pointing it out.
* Ethereum VM is too hard / different knowledge from pwning -- This is true. However, digital crypto scam drug money is important for blazing so we feel that's ok.
* All the challenges were worth 420 at different difficulties. -- This is true. However, CTFd doesn't have dynamic scoring that can set point values to variations of "420" like "42.0", "4.20", "0.420", "4200". This was VERY important. In case you haven't noticed, most GREEN colors on the CTFD site was #004200. It's important to do.
* Challenges were too hard / mitrectf was easier -- This is true. However, this is CTF for adults. In case you haven't noticed, the stream was NOT PG-13. We use bad words. We don't fuck around. The CTF was 4 days and 20 hours for a reason. We like blazing, hacking, and watching anime (rick and morty). We care, and we do it for the folks who care too. In fact, one of the criterion for submitting a challenge was 'creativity' + 'difficulty'. You need to _work_ to get your dopamine rush.
* Challenges were too boring/generic -- Maybe true. We will smoke more as the weed economy improves.
* This was the best ctf I've ever seen -- Maybe true. We do it for the fans.
* Stream was not always up -- True. Next year, we will take the stream more seriously. But we hope you enjoyed what we had while it was up.

Overall, we're happy with how this event has gone. We wanted to keep this CTF real in this weird world, which is partly why we have NO SPONSORS or affiliation. We are just a group of irc friends who like to blaze and hack shit, and this CTF was a labor of love. If you enjoyed it and look forward to the next one, then welcome to the family. We hope to see you all next year.
