Mon Aug 16, 2004 10:34 pm

Wow, the first day of challenges was surprisingly difficult... Took us about an hour and a half to complete them, but it seems to be well worth it... There's no one to suspect at this moment... but I'm watching all of you >.> and I'm going to take over the world! Muahahahaahahah!!!

I came in late. I was out doing stuff and the host reminded me. Just intime for the last challenge. Soon after I joined the last challenge was over. The task that I was around for was pretty easy except that there is alot of books to look though for the right one. Next time (If I'm here.) I will make it before the challenge starts.

I loved it! Well, okay, all of it except for the math problem! LOL More of you people need to show up next time! It was lots of fun and I think this is very well planned out! The only trouble I could see was the people who where supposed to be there didn't show up!

Omega Strike!
Who did the first one? Cap did
Three challenges the first was easy and the next two really hard. Was the mole there? I don't know... we had several people missing...

Yes, the first day of challenges was quite different than I expected. Three people showed up at the beginning, but we eventually ended up with 6. I had to tweak the challenge a bit (originally it was supposed to be three seperate teams solving one challenge each) but it worked out fine. Because I had to tweak it, I was also unable to have it be a timed challenge as originally planned.
The first challenge was a math problem. I am unable to post it here, because it has exponents and PPT does not currently have a [sup] ability. However, within about a minute of posting the link to it, cap had it solved. It was actually a trick question, just basic math, with complicated-looking variables thrown in. The group earned 5k from that challenge.
The second challenge was much harder. The group was shown a small portion of a picture, taken from one item on neopets, and told to find it. After about 20 minutes I gave them the opportunity to pass and come back to it, which they eventually took.
The third challenge was a coded phrase. It was a simple sentence, replaced with corrosponding numbers. This one took quite a while, and I was very impressed with the deductive reasoning shown by all members present. After figuring out that the same letter was repeated 3 times, they came to the (correct) conclusion that that number represented the letter E. After talking through the challenge, the answer was eventually found by Kugetsu.
Then it was back to the second challenge. This took a VERY long time, and I was also impressed by their dedication, especially since most of them had been on for over an hour. I did give a couple of clues (I wasn't a very good host in that respect, considering I don't want them to win money.
) but it was mainly time spent on neoitems that won this challenge. After searching through countless pages of usukis, foods, and books, 1lewysgal finally found the correct answer.
Because all three challenges were completed (at 5k per challenge) the pot was doubled to 30k total. However, there were several members not present. 6 showed up, and four were excused for various reasons. I am therefore afraid I will have to dock 1k per person who did not show up. I don't want to do this, but many of the challenges require specific numbers of people, and without those numbers the challenges cannot be played as planned. That is only 5k, though, so the pot currently stands at 25k.
Tomorrow there will be a quiz with 10 questions about the Mole. Once I post them, simply PM me with your answer to all 10 questions. The person who gets the most answers wrong about the Mole will be executed. I will also have the time for the next live challenge, so all of the players can check their schedules and PM me with any problems. The next challenge will not take place until after the first execution, so it will be 3-5 days.

I missed the challenge as well. My friends came over unexpectedly and I did not plan on them arriving. What is ticking me off is you said we must be on at least once during 4pm-10pm EST, and at the moment it's 8:39pm EST, how are you expecting all of us to be on at the same time? It's very unorganised in my opinion. I signed up thinking you'd post the challenge and all of us could work it out for the whole day instead of just solving it that very day. Your rules does not say anything about being on until you post the challenge. I cannot afford to wait for you to post the challenge the whole day, I have a life. While you might be going about and having fun, you're expecting us to wait for you to post the challenge?
Also, I did check various times and you didn't post the challenge at all. If this is the case, I'm dropping out.
