Busy day yesterday, so I just got the grid finished and took a quick look. Saw something, but ran out of time to pursue it. Took a fresh look this morning and the meta fell into place. Nice construction by Matt as always.

Got it. Saw something right away, but it took me quite a while to sort out what to do with it.

I have gone through more than a few steps and got a solid answer, but I don't see how that's a "frequently faced decision". I understand that the prompt has to be vague sometimes, but this is too vague for me.

Having run into a couple dead ends, if anyone could give me a nudge it would be much appreciated!

I also would love a nudge if anyone is willing. I got step 1 immediately, but I've been stuck since Friday.

Waiting for update but I’m pretty sure I’m beaming up. I saw the first step pretty quickly on Friday but then got nowhere while away for the weekend. Came home today, decided to take one more look, sat down with a cup of tea, and the rabbit jumped right out at me!

Thanks to a gracious nudge from BrianMac I am ready to beam up (with assistance)

Throwing in the towel on this one. I do feel I’m darn close though, so I’d appreciate a nudge if someone would like to send one. I’m not going to submit an answer either way.

I'm becoming a firm believer in solving these on Monday night, desperation makes my brain work better.

I'm still on the away-mission. Did the grid Friday and saw a first step. Picked it up again last night and found a second step. Woke up this morning with brilliant idea how to get an answer out of that, but then when I looked at the puzzle, I realized the puzzle in my imagination was totally unrelated to the real one.
Four more hours.
I couldn't resist the challenge of trying to do all these solo when Matt added that feature. A year later, I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, very rewarding to find an answer without any help. But I did that Chris King meta as a team solve last month and remembered how much fun it is with the back-and-forth of ideas, and I've kind of missed that.
My goal for MGWCC was at least 48 out of 52, and I didn't make it. But I did get close enough that I feel like I could, so now I still can't resist trying it again this year. So I'm not looking for a hint, just hoping for post-enlightenment.

I think I'm with sharkicicle on this one. I have a great idea that I just can't let go of, but it's getting me nowhere. Towel thrown.

Whew! Beamed up at the very last minute. Had the second words last night, but amorpm looked like nonsense, as did mormap, etc.

I was lucky in that I got the answer AM OR PM in less than an hour, but then had to deliberate on it for two days before I finally submitted that answer last night. I really don't see how this is a decision. I almost submitted "Day or Night" or "Morning or Night" but thankfully those weren't decisions either.
Great meta puzzle otherwise. Title was clever too -and it actually was the little extra click that made me comfortable before submitting an answer-.
