Welcome to Panem
Welcome my dears to the glorious utopia that is Panem. As I am sure you have been taught, our nation is composed of twelve Districts who work in service of The Capitol, but, more importantly, each other as well. Each District you come from has a vital task, though not quite as vital as the task you will perform if you are chosen during the Reaping. Most fortunately, as a courtesy from our esteemed Gamemaker Seneca Crane and granted by our wise and generous President Snow, this year you will be given a physical to give you a better understanding of your physical abilities and the limits thereof. The first of these is an eye exam. You might laugh, but in the Arena it is most key that you understand how well you can trust your sight in the heat of the moment. This is not too difficult, though it will require some time and practice. Rules: 1. Click this link. 2. Do your best to get the dot to line up in the way it is asking (i.e. if it's a parallelogram complete it. If it's asking for the point of convergence between two angles, do that). 3. You can practice this as many times as you want. 4. When you have a score you want to log, post a picture in your confessional by taking a screenshot with both your score and a tab with this game open in the background to validate it, as well as the "Time Taken" for the test. 5. Feel free to submit as many times as you want up until the deadline has been reached. Each new submission must be submitted in a new post. 6. The better you score on this challenge, the more power you will have in determining your starting position for the Hunger Games. You are looking for the lowest average error, with tiebreakers based on the speed you complete the test. 7. Do not discuss your scores with anyone else. In addition to this score, please submit a ranking of all other players in the game according to how well you feel you can work with them. You may socialize in the Capitol or through PMs with your fellow tributes to help you decide.
If you have questions about this please contact a moderator. And as always, may the odds be ever in your favor!

We would like to provide an example of a valid screenshot for this challenge. Arrows indicate the needed elements: where the score/average error and time taken are shown, and also a tab open to our forum. I look forward to seeing the final results!

Hey, wait a minute... is the image for the arena forum just a screenshot of minecraft? Are we really playing minecraft hunger games with different shaders?

Just a reminder to everyone to please get your challenge & pair preference lists in before the deadline!!!
It's in the countdown clock, but doesn't hurt to have a little reminder from the Capitol, I do realize how much you love and adore the Capitol and hearing from us!

To expound upon what Effie mentioned, I thought it would be helpful to clarify this since there's a lot of questions about the nature of the ranking. The ranking you provide is not optional, and must include all 23 other Tributes.
This list is a part of the challenge, and failure to provide one will result in your receiving a null score for the Eye Examination. A null score means that your player preferences will be disregarded, and there is chance you will receive a random partner as a result. Additionally this will count as your first strike under Rule 17
This may seem severe, but I have the utmost faith in all of your abilities to rank the other 23 players. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

You may have seen this in my announcements, but we've had a couple of replacements. Please be sure to update your rankings accordingly.
EDIT:
If you have Goomba or Toxicroak on your list, we will automatically switch them with Donald and Shadow, respectively.

It's come to our attention that there was confusion surrounding rule 7 and discussing explicit scores. While we will not be taking any action at this time, we will consider this a blanket warning to read the rules closely for any specifically disallowed actions.
Please be sure to get your score and list submissions in within the next 7 hours!

We have several things we are fixing, so results may have a slight delay after the deadline expires. Please understand we are working as fast as we can to get everything in place. Thank you

I formally submit that we replace 'rabble' with 'rebel' for this game.
