I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

Hm. From a moral perspective: easy left.
From a practical perspective: I don't consider flies all that tough to kill, as long as I've got a flyswatter and a bit of patience. And flies (and other insects) are about the only things that I do kill (outside of video games). I'd imagine that's true for most people that aren't hunters / farmers / etc.
I'd still go with left here, despite the evasion comment. The evasion comment adds maybe ... 10-15 points, but I'd put flies in the 10-15 point range to start with. What else can you kill with a flyswatter?

I would say right since I think a fly buzzing around out of your reach is way more annoying to kill than it is easy
My only hangup is that.. when you order the list of things that are easy to kill versus hard to kill, insects are like the easiest and probably the only thing i ever kill anyway lol. So depends on exactly how Xalxe interprets the scale I suppose
Still thinking it's left, but if everyone else wants right, we'll do that. Will give Iconeum and lilith some more time to check in, then lock in a guess later this evening.

From a scale of the easiest things to kill to the hardest things to kill, I'd go like 15. tricky!
I'm leaning that Xalxe interpreted it the first way since thats probably a bit more intuitive
I actually think it’s the second way, because he was given a scale and a point and then had to describe it.
I feel like it’s in the 15-25 range. not super super easy to kill but definitely easier to kill than like, humans, most animals, and anything man-made?
I think that hitting a fly that won’t stop buzzing around is hard and therefore it’s right
I think if xalxe is was basing it on “how easy is it for a fly to go from alive to dead” and not “how hard is it to hit a fly” he wouldn’t have added the buzzing around and not stopping flavour

Not to get dark, but “a sleeping human” is further left than “a fly evading your grasp” imo
I think the flavour of the description is super important
I reckon about 50-60 is what was being clued and the fact it’s a fly was meant to bring it down from like, a buzzard evading your grasp or something
clue: A fly that keeps buzzing around and evading your grasp
Spoiler: drum roll please...

i'm assuming people want to play this out, as there's a chance someone joins and gives the game another turn. if not, yell at me and i'll see what to do.

and the clue that your psychic, lendunistus, provided is:
Playing billiards
your team has (expired on 2021-08-22 14:10:00) to guess where the target is. it’s now up to you to discuss and determine where
Playing billiards
is on the spectrum from 0 to 100. 0 represents “ requires luck” and 100 represents “requires skill".

Yeah, I think more skill than pool if billiards is another name for snooker — you have to pot the balls in a very specific order instead of just your colour of balls
But I think it’s not gonna be like, hard hard right? Because you can definitely get lucky with your shots from time-to-time
Maybe in the region of 80? I’d say 100 should be something like chess where there’s no element of randomness
The only random factors I can think of that would show up in any sort of pool-like game would be environmental, or possibly having a hand spasm as you take a shot - but yeah, I agree a game like Chess would be ideal for a 96+.
our hero!! okay first you need to convince the other team that billiards is in fact a 0 skill pure luck game because they are two points ahead of us and it is their turn so even though we now have an extra round because you have come to save us, if they secure a 4 here they are still out of range for us even with an extra round
i do not know for what this pebble is useful but it must be useful. for if it is useless, everything is useless. so are the stars!
