Wow! This is quite the explosive start to our 75th 1st Annual Hybrid: Hunger Games! All tributes are really giving it their all this game! The bloodbath in particular was so crazy intense! It was so intense in fact, that we've decided to do it again!!! Just like last round, we will once again be having the lowest scoring District this round be instantly put into the Eliminator! This will function the same as last challenge with the same rules and contingencies in case of Districts who don't submit. If this is unclear, please contact a Gamemaker.The arena can be a daunting place. Possibly a scorching hot desert, or a temperate jungle filled with wild beats, or even a vast ocean where no one knows what lurks underneath the waters. No matter what arena the contestants are presented with, there is a learning curve to figuring out how the arena functions and the various elements that can come into play. Some might even call it, a giant puzzle. This challenge will take the efforts of both players in your team. Prior to doing the challenge you will designate one person as the puzzle solver (harder mode) and one person as the puzzle solver (easier mode) in your District Board. Each of you will then independently solve a series of puzzles with the hopes of finishing fast.Rules: 1. Neither of you can converse with your teammate about the challenge once either of you have started it until after challenge results are announced. Do not discuss the challenge with other Districts. 2. Your selection of who does which set of puzzles must be clearly identified prior to the challenge start. Once your selection is made, a mod will provide each tribute with a Google form to use to start the challenge. 3. You will have 2 hours to solve as many of the puzzles you are given as possible. 4. At the end, the number of puzzles you both solved will be compared to the other teams. The team with the highest number of solved puzzles will win immunity. 5. If there is a tie, we will look at the time the last puzzle is submitted for each person and total those times up; whichever team solved the number of puzzles they completed fastest will win the tie. 6. All submissions must be made in your confessional, involving a screenshot with a tab of this game in the background. 7. You can post all answers at once, or one at a time, whichever you prefer for strategy. 8. We recommend making a thread in your confessional for this challenge.
9. If you find that one of your submissions is incorrect, you may resubmit so long as you have time on the clock, and the resubmissions MUST be made in a new post. DO NOT EDIT AN OLD POST PLEASE. 10. Do not use outside sources for this challenge.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact a moderator. May the odds be ever in your favor! # Google Form for HardGoogle Form for Easy Post the correct google form for whichever designation is made per team. |

So cannot communicate after only one player has begun puzzles - or do both have to start simultaneously? Also no communication at all until challenge done? Not even about politicking with other teams?
Also does this mean a mod needs to provide each one after completion or they all provided together?
Because if it's a google form now then make sure to state that it is in their best interest to post each solution one at a time to ensure that there is something to record for the tiebreak.
