Challenge#2: Pass the Baton

Challenge#2: Wednesday 8:00pm CST

Drake Tribe now gets a look at the new Cook Tribe minus a member - Krypton, voted out at tribal council.

Let's get right on to the next challenge. The tribes will compete in a track and field competition called "Pass the Baton." As before you need at least 4 people to play. Unlike last time you must designate the specific person who will post after you. The first member will grab a baton and pass it to another member, who will pass it to another member and so forth. Only the person who you pass your baton to may grab it. If the person you pass it to isn't here you can pass it to someone else instead. The postings might look like this:

"Survivor A grabs baton and passes to Survivor B"
"Survivor B takes baton from Survivor A and passes to Survivor C"
then C passes to D, and D passes back to A. This completes one cycle. You must complete 3 cycles to win. As before the same survivor cannot go more than once every four turns. So here's what your post structure will look like:

A-B-C-D-A-B-C-D-A-B-C-D-A for a total of 13 posts.

Please post a thread for your tribe in this forum when you are ready to begin the challange. You can start at 8pm CST but not before. Make the thread something identifiable like "Cook Tribe Challenge#2 thread." Let me know if there are any questions.

Drake Tribe will be looking for the 2nd half of the treasure story while the Cook tribe will be looking for the 1st.

Do you want the thread to be posted in this forum or in our tribe forum?

Neo · 06-26-2006, 11:37 PM

In this forum, please. We'll reserve tribe forum challenges for those in which puzzles are involved.

So wait a second...this time, we dont technically need to start right at 8PM? We could start at like 8:15 and still win even if the other tribe starts at 8 on the dot, but we get ours done faster? Did I read that right?

Neo · 06-27-2006, 11:04 AM

That is correct.

Can we post the thread now before we start the challenge so we can have it ready, like we did for the first challenge? Or does the first post in the thread have to be included in the baton race?

Yeah that's cool.

just to confirm...we can start the challenge say after the first tribe has finished...and if we finish the challenge in 2 minutes and finished it in 3, do we win, or does the tribe that finishes first win?

Neo · 06-28-2006, 09:15 PM

I think there is some confusion, the first tribe to complete the challenge wins.

I thought you meant the other tribe starts first but you go faster and finish first, not that they have already finished by the time you start. Both tribes need to start the challenge immediately. The first tribe that completes the challenge wins.
