Challenge 1: BUCKETS!
Your first challenge will be a simple test of endurance and timing. Your tribe has 24 hours to fill as many buckets of water as possible. To fill up a bucket of water, 2 members of your tribe must post like the example below
Ted posts this image:
Ghandia would catch with this image:
Total Buckets scored for tribe= 1
No text is required for this, but If you are having problems with the images, you may also use text:
*Name* tosses water
*Tribemate* catches water in bucket
Total Buckets scored for tribe=1
PLEASE, if you are catching write in your post OR make another post underneath keeping track of the total number of buckets your tribe have caught. This will make the challenge infinitely easier for us to keep track of.
There are a few limitations to keep in mind. For starters, once you have tossed or caught a bucket of water, you may not toss or catch again for 30 minutes. So if Ted and Ghandia here tossed and caught at 10:30 and 10:31, they must wait until 11:00 and 11:01 to do it again, but another pair on the tribe may go in the meantime. Since 5 pairs may go in 30 minutes, you can score up to 5 buckets of water for your tribe every 30 minute cycle.
There is a catch however. The "catcher" cannot catch within the same minute as the "thrower". The catcher must catch the water exactly 1 minute after, or else it does not count. So in the example above, if Ted throws the water at 10:30, Ghandia must wait until 10:31 to catch it. If Ghandia posts at 10:30 or 10:32, the point would not count.
Ted tosses water at 10:30 ( or post water tossing image)
Ghandia catches water at 10:31 (SUCCEEDED)
On top of this, the other team is allowed to STEAL your water toss if they are able to post before your tribemate can catch. The person stealing does not have to wait until the next minute to steal your water!
Example:
Ted tosses water at 10:30 ( or post water tossing image)
White Bitch on other tribe *STEALS WATER* (or post image of bucket catching water) at 10:30 (sorry again Shi-Ann
)Ghandia catches water at 10:31 (FAILED)
Ghandia's catch does not count now and the OTHER tribe successfully adds bucket/point to their score. They may then post underneath their updated score. Unlike catching or throwing, stealing only has a 5 time limit to wait, whether the steal fails or succeeds. The stealer in the above example has a full 2 minutes to attempt the steal, if not then it doesn't count.
Ted tosses water at 10:30 ( or post water tossing image)
White Bitch on other tribe *STEALS WATER* (or post image of bucket catching water) at 10:32 (sorry again Shi-Ann
)(FAILED)Ghandia catches water at 10:32 (DOUBLE FAILED)
Both the catcher and stealer failed. Had that white bitch stole the water at 10:30 or 10:31 however, it would have succeeded.
To add insult to injury, in the examples above Ted would still need to wait 30 minutes before he is able to Toss or Catch again(Ted may still steal from the other tribe however). Ghandia since she caught nothing may still act again immediately.
A well timed steal could shift the momentum of the game. Keep stealing and timing in mind when planning your strategy for the challenge. Pay attention to how far you are into the minute (ie: 10:30 and 30 seconds) and always beware of the potential steals from the other tribe when scoring.
To avoid any confusion or accusations of cheating, please NO MODIFYING POSTS. If you made a mistake please repost under your old post. Misspellings are ok
One last thing, to avoid too much confusion, if two people on your tribe are already tossing and throwing, you may NOT have another pair on your tribe also doing it at the same time. Only 1 pair catching or throwing at a time please.
This challenge will end 24 hours from now. Please make this host happy by numbering your buckets as you collect them please!
The tribe that scores the most buckets of water after 24 hours will win immunity and be safe from tribal council. The losing tribe will head to tribal where they will vote off not 1, but 2 MEMBERS of their tribe. You do not want to start this game down 2 players!
Good Luck!
You will do the challenge right here in this thread. Do not begin until 8:00 PM EST. Posting this early to give you time look over, ask questions and strategize a bit.
