Oh well? Are you just gonna shrug off the loss of the original meaning like it's no big deal? sighs I guess I could try rephrasing it myself.

Ok, here's how it's gonna work. We'll split up and find the best hiding spot along the trail. Then, we'll give each other a one-minute head start before shouting "Ready or not!"
