Wait, am I locked out of competing in Leg 2?

No, I goofed and you have to pull double duty.

@Jeff: I shoot another heavy ball!!

We've gotten a bit confused with the stuff. I'm not quite sure if you are locked out or not.

#106

insertnamehere wrote:Wait, am I locked out of competing in Leg 2?

I don't think you are. But I don't think you told Jeff you were doing the competition.

OK, that's fine, but that means there's no point you doing another leg, because Boomslang has to participate.

Well, we could use Opt Outside for shooting, inh, and use you in leg 4? She's already given instructions to shoot 5 heavy balls... we could use this now?

I guess. I just felt useless :P

Go for it guys.

I guess. I'd like to hear something from Probst-probst on this whole kerfuffle.

Linki: If it makes you feel better DH, I feel pretty damn useless too right now.

No worries. It just means you have a bit of spare energy, that could be useful in the next challenge. We want to get some food.

Bold your shit, people.

#114

I guess this challenge could come down to what posts Scotty decided to read. Neither mine nor Opt's were bolded, but my throw was.

#115

Look, either inh or opt does leg two, it doesn't matter which. But someone needs to do leg 4 (and, frankly, has wilgy done leg one?? We need him to do active guesses).

#116

Wilgy already finished Leg 1.

Scotty, can we get some clarity on that? And what it means to toss 'some' or 'all' balls?
If you are shooting balls, you may select any variation of ball size with each shot.

Once you have determined you are performing in leg 2, you may start shooting balls immediately. You can either shoot several balls at once, or take turns shooting with other players until I can get back to you. Shooting multiple balls at once, like Opt-Outside is proposing, means that I will calculate all of her shots in a row, and record the result.

If you are performing in leg 4, you must all agree in thread on which option you will take.

Does that make sense?

I've noted that Wilgy is doing leg 1, Opt is doing leg 2, DH is doing leg 3, and Golden is doing leg 4. To differentiate a proposition versus a decision, I ask that those either calling a number for untying, shooting balls or choosing an option in leg 4 BOLD their final decision. As of right now, Opt is proposing to shoot 5 heavy balls at once, so I will wait for a decision on that.

Okay! So I think instead of deciding how many of each I'll shoot ahead of time, I'll shoot one ball at a time and wait for the results. That will influence which balls we should all shoot next. So I'll start right now

I'm starting leg 2 and throwing one heavy ball to start

Strength probably wouldn't be great for me.

Also, Jeff, can we have more than one person vote the same thing in the poll?

#119

insertnamehere wrote:Wilgy already finished Leg 1.

Why don't you switch to leg 4? It does mean less active involvement but lets give you your choice of task next time? And it solves any confusion about who is doing what.

@Scotty - Can we just allocate Boomslang without him checking in?

#120

Jeff, I'm doing the willpower option for level 1 and level 2 of leg 4

For clarity.

#121

@speedchuck, if you can move your vote, shelter might be the place? I can only guess based on what I would do, but I'd be making the shelter build cost x energy, split evenly amongst all participants, so the more hands, perhaps the better for everyone?

#122

Whoops I TOTALLY missed page two so I just read everything I missed after I posted my shot. Okay so it looks like I'm still good to do leg 2? Unclear on who else is shooting balls with me but I just confirmed a shot with a heavy ball so I'll wait for the results and then let's all keep shooting. Sounds like we need 6 more points (before the result of my shot) and I'm willing to shoot up to four more heavy balls depending on the results of my shot and everyone else's.

#123

INH I apologize for missing you agreeing to doing Leg 2. To fix the confusion, I will just clarify that I currently have Opt, Elo and LoRab participating in Leg 2.

No. He must decide himself or I will defacto put him in a leg if it isn't already finished. Because of the current circumstances, if DH wants to participate in another leg, he may. And as soon as we are filled up on Leg 4 with 4 willing participants, if another player has not participated, they must sit out. Normally I would want full participation, so call this an outlier.

#124

OK, but I assume he has until the end of the day to check in? The challenge isn't won or lost based on when he checks in?

DH could hold off on losing his energy to this leg, it doesn't seem fair he should lose energy just because Boom doesn't check in.

#125

LoRab wrote:@Jeff: I shoot another heavy ball!!

LoRab puts on some gloves made of leaves and shotputs the ball again in the net. She must have played ball in college. 5 MORE baskets are needed.

Opt_Outside wrote: I'm starting leg 2 and throwing one heavy ball to start

Opt rips off her shirt to show a basketball jersey. "Where did she get that?" Wilgy asks. Opt picks up a heavy ball, dribbles it a few times, sticks her tongue out a-la Michael Jordan and sinks it with ease. 4 More baskets are needed!

That is correct. It is his prerogative if he wants to join another leg.

#126

Are we waiting until leg 2 is done to do leg 4?

#127

As good Sir Golden suggests, your majesty the King will remain on the sidelines.

#128

speedchuck wrote:Are we waiting until leg 2 is done to do leg 4?

No need. We just need Boomslang to check in and inh to join us and we can do leg 4. It's clear from leg 3 that we don't need to do them in order.

Scotty, how much time was used on the puzzle? Was the time the 3 minutes for failing plus my actual solve time?

I feel like I did it quite quickly so it's possible the other side was slower.

Golden wrote:Jeff, I'm doing the willpower option for level 1 and level 2 of leg 4

For clarity.

I currently have 2 people signed up for Leg 4. As of right now, only INH and Boomslang may participate in this leg. All 4 people will be doing the same options. If I don't get confirmation, I'm going to go with majority and will slot in both INH and Boom.

Heyooo! Good shots everyone. Let's get this locked up.

I'll shoot another heavy ball right now

I will add up all the times at the end of the day.

Opt catches the same ball that she shot with like it was nothing and shoots again! And again, makes it! These girls just won't miss! 3 more baskets needed!

#132

boom boom boom.

#133

SIGNING UP FOR LEG FOUR

#134

@Jeffrey: I'm choosing the Willpower option for both Levels 1 & 2.

#135

insertnamehere wrote:@Jeffrey: I'm choosing the Willpower option for both Levels 1 & 2.

Noted.

Currently 3/4 players (INH, speedchuck, and LC) participating in Level 1, Option A and level 2, Option B

#136

Apparently my name is now Long Con.

At least we know LC isn't doing the puzzle. Probably. That's a relief.

#137

Okay three baskets left. Since things are looking good I'd rather not use too much energy so

I'll shoot one more heavy ball right now

And then hopefully the other two shooting will be able to get the last two shots in?

#138

Arrrrrgh, of course this is the kind of thing that blows up with massively complex interaction on the day my parents are here in the morning and I have a massive friggin' deadline at work in the afternoon. I'm here, trying to read and understand.

From what I can tell, I'm only able to do things on Leg 4? So I sign up for that, and I'll use willpower to support INH?

#139

Jeff, I'm shooting another heavy ball into that basket.

And I'm going to make it again. I can feel it!

#140

Also, I'm in agreement with the thoughts on the poll options. Fishing will be inefficient until we get gear, and I'm willing to be confident on our team's chances to win fire. So I'll contribute to the shelter building.

#141

We need three more baskets and Opt and Lorab are in the process of shooting.

Jeff I will go for another heavy ball and hope we all get it in to finish this part of the challenge.

#142

by the way, I did bold that. I can barely tell the difference on my computer.

Yep, that's what you need to do. You need to bold it to be clear though.

#144

Hopefully these balls all fall but if not you should consider moving to different balls to conserve energy.

#145

I'm sorry I couldn't earn your respect yet Opt.

LAST SHOT MADE. All 3 ladies high five in triumph. Leg 2 is completed.

Ok, duly noted. Jeff, I will do Leg 4, Willpower option in conjunction with INH.

#148

Woo Hoo!!

#149

Great work on the hoops shooting, ladies.

We also have all four people doing willpower on leg 4 so that should be everything done.

#150

Nicely done everyone :P

There's a box of colored rocks at treemail! (Pick one per person please)
