You have finally made it my dears! Through many trials and tribulations, you are about to face the first sight any new Tribute sees when they grace the Arena. The Cornucopia is a bastion of resources aplenty to assist you in your beginning days of the Hunger Games proper. There is food, medical supplies, and weapons. This is bounty, but it is also where most blood is shed. Often Tributes will take an opportunity to thin out the competition from the start. After all, if you are the only one remaining at the Cornucopia, there is no one stopping you from taking your fill.
Alas, this bloodshed means that many of you will not survive to the next phase. Following this challenge, 3 pairs will meet in the Eliminator. Only two tributes shall survive, meaning four total will fall this round. We will have the Immune pair make their decisions as normal, and there will be a vote. In addition, the bottom performing pair for this challenge will also go to the Eliminator.
Failing to complete the challenge will make you a bottom performer by default. If your District fails to complete this challenge, you will be sent to The Eliminator this round. If this means that we will need to expand The Eliminator to accommodate, we will. Ideally this does not happen, though, and you are able to communicate and coordinate with yourselves and with us.
Thrilling isn't this? This challenge will test your ability to communicate with one another without have the same common frame of reference. This is a skill tested if one of you is lost and needs to find the other, or if you need to come up with a plan of action. Your task will be to recreate a drawing. One of you will have the image and will describe it for the other who will draw. A few rules:

One of you will have the image and will describe it for the other who will draw. A few rules:
1) Each team should coordinate a time to start the challenge, designate a Caller and designate a Drawer (must have 1 role per person). Please post this publicly in your district board so mods know who is doing what.
2) The designated Caller will receive the image and start the challenge for their District by filling out this Google form. DO NOT FILL OUT THIS UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO BEGIN THE CHALLENGE.

3) Teams may discuss the challenge among themselves, but not with anyone else.
4) The Caller may not at any time post the image, any part of the image, or a link to the image. The fundamental idea is that you cannot show the Drawer what they will drawing, but will describe it. Please do not attempt to test the limits of this rule. The fundamental spirit of the challenge is clear.
5) The Drawer should be prepared to use a drawing program (such as MS Paint or Pixlr) and to upload a screenshot of the drawing (such as Imgur). We recommend starting with a 800x800 blank template. An example is posted below.
6) To submit your drawing, take a screenshot of the image with a tab of this game open and post it in your district forum.

7) You may only submit once, after which the challenge is over. You may not show copies or in progress pictures to your partner; if you submit, we will consider you done.
8) We understand that you may not all have had the training offered by the Capitol, and as such artistic merit is not the criteria we will be judging. We care about intent of what was originally drawn being reproduced. For instance if there is a circle in a spot, we expect to see a circle there rather than a square.
9) Whoever reproduces the drawing as accurately as possible will win. The images will all be judged by our lovely Seneca Crane, who will determine which image most closely resembles the original. During the challenge he will not have access to the District subforums, and he will judge them blind to whose drawings belong to whom.
10) If two pairs are tied for the most accurate drawing, whoever submitted theirs more quickly will win.
