ROUND THIRTEEN: WHATRUDOING2ME
Come on in, guys! For the last time, the glorious immunity necklace is up for grabs:
Come on in, guys! For the last time, the glorious immunity necklace is up for grabs:
Today's challenge is exactly what you expected. Or should be. You know me. I love these.
Before you start the challenge, you will need to TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR COMPUTER AS IT IS NOW WITH YOUR AIM BUDDY LIST ON TOP OF YOUR BROWSER [use this for EVERY screenshot you need]. Make sure all tabs are visible (if you have multiple windows open, make sure all of them are visible!), and INCLUDE THE CLOCK - when you post this screenshot, you start. This way, we'll know you did NOT work ahead before beginning the challenge. (Meaning, if your timestamps for screenshots are before this one's, you have windows open with Flash games, or your timestamp doesn't match Proboards time... you're disqualified and will become the last member of the jury. You ARE free to practice the games before it starts, but you must attain scores in sequential order after starting the challenge. NO USING SCORES FROM BEFORE YOU START THE CHALLENGE.) If you do NOT do this screenshot, you will be assessed a two-hour penalty.
For an example, this is Parvati's from Jiuzhaigou:

Note how the clock, buddy list, and all open windows and tabs are included, and there are none from the tasks in this challenge. Do this and you're good!
If any of your screenshots AFTER the initial one do NOT include the clock and/or buddy list, you will be assessed a 30-minute penalty.

You will start this challenge in a cell with an encrypted lock. In order to get out, you will have to decrypt the lock.
To do this, you must crack this code:
AAADDDEE_GHMN_OSST
AAADDDEE_GHMN_OSST
To hack it, you cannot just enter the password - you have to move letters and spaces (represented by underscores_) around like a slider by switching with them with one adjacent to them - ONE MOVE PER POST.
Suppose the password was "I_WIN" and you had "IIN_W" as your encrypted password; you would do it like so:
IIN_W
IINW_
IIWN_
IWIN_
IWI_N
IW_IN
I_WIN
ONE POST AT A TIME. Meaning you can't make two switches in one post. If your posts skip via Proboards, then that will cause multiple switches. Be careful!
You can make changes as quickly as you want. Penalties for this task are as follows:
- 5 minutes for making two switches in a single post
- 3 minutes for modifying a post
You ARE allowed to delete posts at this stage, in case something skipped. HOWEVER, if you delete a post AFTER you finish the challenge, you will get a 3-minute penalty. Delete them before you finish!
After you decode the lock, you'll need to man a gun and protect the tower that holds your bag of puzzle pieces from attacking RC planes. You will need to play this Flash Game:
www.flash-game.net/game/1553/air-defence-3.html
You must get to level 10 (by that, I mean complete level 9) in order to clear this objective. If you wish, you can pass this task at any time, but you will take a one-hour penalty from the time you post forfeiture (meaning it's assessed AFTER your attempts) to do so. If your screenshot does not include a buddy list OR a clock, then you'll take a 30-minute hit. Your screenshot SHOULD be of "Next Level: 10" for reference.
Next, you must climb the tower to reach your puzzle pieces. There are 25 steps in the tower - you will post, ONCE PER MINUTE:
[NAME] climbs step
You need to do this 25 times. This is NOT endurance, so if you miss a minute, it'll just cost you later.
If you do not get to 25, you'll be penalized 3 minutes per post you did not complete. If you miss 8 or more posts, you will be penalized an hour total instead.
Once you get to the top of the tower, in the 26th minute, you will post:
[NAME] grabs bag of puzzle pieces
To get to your puzzle station, you'll have to knock down a rock wall:
www.flash-game.net/game/2020/gold-strike.html
Get a score of at least 25,000. Remember that you can forfeit and take an hour penalty after you post it. Also remember that you need to post your AIM buddy list and clock in your screencap.
(I may have done that game in the series before, but I've looked at so many I don't care anymore)
After clearing the wall, you may begin work on the puzzle:

Just remember: We're watching you. If you don't post an AIM list and a clock... 30 minute penalty, right there.
My first time was like 6:52 or so. Didn't take a screenshot, unfortunately :/
Person who completes this entire thing in the shortest amount of time wins immunity and will IMMEDIATELY decide who sits next to them at the Final Tribal Council, where seven angry people will interrogate you and determine whether or not you deserve a million bucks.
If one of you does NOT complete this challenge, you're eliminated, plain and simple. This is the FINAL CHALLENGE. There are no excuses, period.
You have 49 hours - until 10 PM Monday - to attempt this thing, start to finish. I'm not going to grant extensions. We can't keep the jury waiting.
Questions? Just holler. For now... Survivors ready? GO!
