Come on in! Welcome, Survivors. _________ voted out at the last Tribal Council, giving each and every one of you a one in five shot at becoming the successor to me, the greatest Chocolatier in the world.
First, _________, I'm gonna need that necklace.
Immunity: up for grabs. By the end of this challenge, one of you will be guaranteed a 1 in 4 shot at the prize. So let's get to it!
In front of you, you will see five Wonka Mobiles, which as you may or may not know, run on carbonated beverages! Most commonly, we use Ginger Ale! In this challenge, you will be racing these Wonka Mobiles through the factory!
Here's how the challenge will work:
You will be working in two different areas.
First, you will find a thread in the Challenge forum entitled "Ginger Ale Well". This is where you will collect fuel for your Wonka Mobile. To gather fuel, you will make two posts in this thread:
- Quote :
- Lowers bucket into well.
- Quote :
- Draws bucket from well.
Fuel canister: x/6
There are a couple rules that go along with the Ginger Ale Well:
1. It's a deep well: it takes
five minutes to lower the bucket, and another five to bring it back.
2. Your fuel canister can only hold
6 buckets' worth of Ginger Ale at a time. This means that if you've filled your canister, you may not post in the Well thread.
You do not need to fill your canister to proceed with the next step in the Challenge.3. There are only 3 buckets (each will be numbered). This means that the five of you must share, and if one person abandons a bucket that has been left in the well, it may be commandeered by another player. If a bucket is abandoned for
ten minutes, someone else may begin to use it (on the eleventh minute).
If you take someone else's bucket, make sure to make a post clarifying that you're using their bucket. This means that if you lower a bucket, you must draw it back up between 5 and 10 minutes if you want to guarantee its safety (though if no one steals it after ten minutes, you may continue to use it).
If all three buckets are in use, the two other players must wait.
Clear?
Now, as for actually driving your Wonka Mobile.
Please create a thread in your Journal entitled "Wonka Mobile Gran Prix". There is a cycle of activities you must complete to get your Wonka Mobile to function properly. You will make a possible eleven posts to
maximize your Wonka Mobile's performance.
Your first post:
- Quote :
- Empties one bucket of Ale into Wonka Mobile.
Canister: x/6
After that, you are able to make ten posts,
one a minute, to push your Wonka Mobile forward:
- Quote :
- Cranks Wonka Mobile
To be clear:
1.
You must fuel your Wonka Mobile before you can crank your Wonka Mobile.
2. You can crank up to 10 times, but
they must be a minute apart. If you wait more than a minute, you're Ale has gone flat, and your Wonka mobile can no longer run.
3. Once you've either used up 10 cranks, or your Ale goes flat, you must fuel your Wonka Mobile again.
You will gain
one point for every time you crank your Wonka Mobile. Every time you complete a full cycle of 10 cranks, you will receive a
2 point bonus.
The person who gains the most points and moves their Wonka Mobile the furthest by the time the challenge is over will win Immunity and cannot be voted out at the next Tribal Council, guaranteeing them a one in four shot at taking over Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
Survivors, ready? GO!
(This Challenge will officially begin at 9:10pm EST; please give me some time to set up the well thread). I'll be around until about 10:00pm to answer questions.
