IC 6: INITIALS 2lc9yr6




NEITHER TRIBE DECLARED WHO WAS SITTING OUT FOR THEIR TRIBE SO IT WAS DONE RANDOMLY FOR YOU. KHUFU IS SITTING OUT FOR MYCENAE AND LOUIS XIV IS SITTING OUT FOR SPARTA. In the future if you do not want us to do it randomly be sure to make an official post about who you are sitting out.


Many famous people in history have, in some cases, become better known by their initials.
For your next task each player in your tribe will be combining two letters into initials (first and last names only, no middle names) and coming up with names of famous people for each of them. Each tribe member will be working individually towards the tribe's total score.


RULES:

Each tribemate will start their own new thread in their tribe's forum entitled "(your name's) Initials (x)" replacing the x with the letter they have chosen as the first initial of each name. This letter will serve as the first initial of every name this player gives. This allows each player to score a maximum of 26 times by pairing up the initials AA, AB, AC, AD, and so on all the way to AZ.

Each tribemate may submit a maximum of two lists. Make a separate post for each list.

No two tribemates may use the same letter. By posting your list, you have claimed your letter.

Your permission to edit and delete your posts in your tribe forum has been removed for this challenge. Once you post, its final. You may not edit, add to, or delete your submission once you post it in your tribe. You may use a "working thread" in your journal if you so choose.



SCORING:

Answers are considered valid if the name can be found on wikipedia. Feel free to provide a link to the evidence if you think the name may be obscure. These must be actual people, alive or dead, not characters or cartoons or ficticious in any way. Valid names will score the point total of the first letter of the surname equal to Scrabble letter values. Here's reference:

1 point: E, A, I, O, N, R, T, L, S, U
2 points: D, G
3 points: B, C, M, P
4 points: F, H, V, W, Y
5 points: K
8 points: J, X
10 points: Q, Z

PENALTIES:

There is a 1 point penalty for each skipped initial pairing.

BONUS:

Once all points and penalties are tallied and subtracted, that score will then be multiplied by the value of the first initial letter, giving each tribemate their total score. All total scores will be added together to get the tribe score.

WINNING:

The tribe with the highest tribe score wins immunity and is safe from Tribal Council. The two losing tribes will both attend the same TC, just as before. And just as before, the Emperor will join you.

Example:
(You may not use these answers)

Using the above example i would start a new thread in my tribe entitled "Justin's Initials A" and in my thread I would list every initial combo:
AA = Alan Alda = 1 point (A in Alda equals 1 scrabble point)
AB = Anette Benning = 3 pts (B in Benning equals 3 scrabble points)
AC = Aaron Carter = 3 pts (C in Carter equals 3 scrabble points)
AD = = -1 pt (penalty for skipped initials)
etc.
etc.
AZ = Agnes Zeeblezobble = 10 pts (if this person actually existed, but they don't so it would actually get 0 pts)

Now say after all names and penalties were tallied the total was 100 pts. This total would then be multiplied by the value of the first initial, A, which is equal to 1 pts, and thus this player's grand total would be 100 pts.


Emperor

The Emperor will be the highest individual contributer to the tribe's total score. If there is a tie in this regard, whoever posted all of their answers first will win.



You have until Sunday, May 9th at 10pm EST to complete this task.

again, the hosts do have commitments Sunday night, so please be patient on results.




Also, don't forget to answer the confessional questions for last round!!! They are posted in the United Nations, as always. (They are always posted at the same time as TC, FYI)

So, I can pick B and H if I wanted to? So, if I said Henry Rowlins, would I get a point for H and R?

When you say we can submit two lists each, we can choose 2 different letters then? Or both lists have to be for the same letter?

I was informed that Justin had answered Jackson's question on AIM.

As for you Saddam, for example, I want to do the letters A and O

I make one thread with my letter A

I make another thread with my letter O

Two posts. Does that make sense?

If not, Ill send Justin a text and let him answer your question for you.

sorry just saw this! Yes, you are correct. 2 different posts. Nobody on the tribe can use the same letter twice (including you!) Wink
