- Label charcoal hearth chests (the ones between the hearth rows) with contestants' names, make sure chests are stashable (all)
General, Points
Points will be awarded for each discipline separately, where the highest number of points equals the total number of participants. If there is a tie between two participants, both will receive the higher number of points, and the next number will be dropped. For example, let's say there are ten participants in total, and two people are first in one of the disciplines. They will both be awarded 10 points, and the next participant will get 8 points.
When all five disciplines have been completed, the points from all disciplines are added to determine who the winner is. We will explain for each discipline what the rules and criteria for winning are.
If you do not start in a discipline, your score for this discipline will be zero.
Charcoal Making
- Make sure everybody has a labelled chest, make sure chests are stashable (all)
- Hand 500 wood + 20 water to each participant (all)
- Record charcoal finishing order: Post name of each participant who has said "done", check that cc is stashed (all)
- Record and post scores (Rym)
Each participant is assigned 2 charcoal hearths and gets 500 wood and 20 jugs of water. Make 100 charcoal as quickly as possible. Stash the completed charcoal in the chest by your hearth, and say "Done" in the Host channel when you are done.
The first contestant to complete 100 charcoal receives maximum points.
Ore Cart Pushing
- Hand out 100 boards + 4 leather to each participant (all except Shani)
- Receive carts, make them public (Shani)
- Stand on top of the glider as a beacon (Otter)
- Police cart circuit (all)
- Record finishing order (all?)
- Record and post scores (Rym)
Each participant builds an ore cart and labels it with their name. When you have done this, transfer ownership to Shani. We will make all carts publically useable (yes, this means that you can push somebody else's cart by accident or on purpose). Push your cart from the starting line to the raeli glider where Otter is standing (take any route you like), then back to the finish line.
The person who built the first cart to cross the finish line gets maximum points. In other words, if you push someone else's cart across the finish line, that other person wins.
Veggie Growing
- Make sure chests are empty (all)
- Hand 20 seeds and 200 jugs to each participant (all)
- Label chests, make sure they are stashable (all)
- When people are done: Record cabbage numbers in chests (all)
- Record and post scores (Rym)
Each participant gets 20 cabbage seeds and 200 jugs.
Before we start, please plant and overwater one seed, to make sure that you will not get the bonus cabbage.
Plant and maintain as many cabbage beds as you can. You do not have to plant all 20 seeds if you don't want to - plan your strategy according to how many plants you think you can maintain.
When you have watered the first cabbage bed, you may not plant any more.
Stash the cabbage, seeds and jugs in the labelled chest with your name.
The contestant who has stashed the most cabbage gets maximum points.
Blacksmithing
- Label anvil chests (all)
- Record blade quality (all)
- Record and post scores (Rym)
Each contestant is assigned an anvil and gets a piece of iron and a full set of blacksmithing tools. You have 3 minutes to smith a carpentry blade, with as high a quality as you can. You can scrap and reload your piece if necessary. Do not unload your piece when the time is up, but step away from the anvils.
Stash the anvil tools in the chest that you already used for the charcoal contest.
The contestant who smiths the highest quality carpentry blade within 3 minutes receives maximum points.
Mountain Climbing
- Record and post scores (Rym)
All participants start at the designated starting spot. Find a way across Otter's Intermediate Slope, and run to the finish location as quickly as possible.
The first contestant to arrive at the finish spot receives maximum points.
