The Scarlet Dagger (Challenges over... time to win POWER!)

[cg5]

cg5 - Last round, you saved cjdrum with the cloak, now, one of you will be going home, what are your thoughts on this predicament?

Basically, my strategy is now utterly screwed. I am making a last-ditch attempt to stay in, although I doubt I'll be able to win after doing this. I'm also somewhat annoyed, as I was planning to get control of the Glove, but I didn't even realise that we were supposed to bid on it (Scarlet posted "bid on glove", Espe posts "what about the challenge?", then Scarlet posts the challenge. I read that as "oops I forgot, have to do this first" (in retrospect, Scarlet would have edited her old post if this was the case) - and the whole "You will not gain these additional points until AFTER the bid for the auction (i.e., when you bid for the gloves, you can only use your current points)" spiel suggested that the auction only happens after the challenge (I suppose that simultaneity in "game time" referred to in there is different to that of real time, and in "game time" the auction does indeed happen after the challenge, but in real time they're together to save time, or something equally as confusing)).

I apologize for the confusion. I probably should have clarified that. Espeonage's post about the challenge was actually a coincidence, I had just posted the Glove first to get that going and was planning on having the challenge at the same time to speed things up.

[CHALLENGE THREE: THE FEAST]

This challenge will involve stragedy and negotiation. Below you are seven items, each worth a different value. Choose wisely and you could get plenty of points. But beware, because if someone else has an eye for your target, you might end up with nothing.

Item #1: Grey Goose - 50 PP
Item #2: Plum Pineapple - 100 PP
Item #3: Teal Turkey - 200 PP
Item #4: Crimson Cake - 300 PP
Item #5: Azure Fig - 400 PP
Item #6: Ebony Egg - 650 PP
Item #7: Golden Apple - 800 PP

Each of you may send me a PM selecting one of the above items. If you are the only person to select that item, you will gain the points associated with that item. However, if two or more players attempt to grab the same item, they food or liquid will fall to the floor and none of you will gain any points. You have 48 hours to submit. I will not reveal who got what at the end, I will only inform you privately if you won points.

[CHALLENGE FOUR: THE LOTTERY]

This challenge will involve risk and reward. We will be having a lottery. The grand prize is 1000 PP.

Each of you may buy as many tickets as you can afford.
Tickets cost 50 PP.
To purchase a ticket, post publically, in the thread "

I buy [#] lottery tickets.

"
You will autmatically be deducted 50 PP for each ticket you buy.
A lottery will be held and the winner will receive 1000 PP in private.
Deadline is 48 hours, at which time tickets will no longer be sold and the lottery will resolve.

The winner will be anonymous. You may purchase additional tickets at any time before the deadline. No refunds on tickets if you change your mind.

Example: If A buys 4 tickets, B buys 2 tickets, and C buys 2 tickets... A will have a 50% chance of winning, and B & C will each have a 25% chance of winning the Lottery...

[CHALLENGE FIVE: THE PASSWORD]

This challenge will involve team work and brain power. Each of you will be PMed a letter. Combine the eight letters and unscramble them, and you will reveal an eight letter word. The first person to PM me the word will win 1000 PP. You only get one guess.

You may lie to one another.
You only get one guess as to what the word is.
You will only have 48 hours to guess the word.
I will not reveal who had what letter at the end, but I will reveal what the true word was.

Once again, the winner will remain anonymous.

[Chevre]

I'm not taking anything for the first challenge

I'm not buying any lottery tickets

My letter is O

[Lowell]

Because I like all things Azure, I'm grabbing the Fig. I'll leave the others for folks to fight over!

Now to restock my coins:

Lowell buys TWO lottery tickets

. Done and done. Hope that works!

[cg5]

I buy 1 lottery ticket.

[Espeonage]

Answer: Yes

[Espeonage]

[Cybele]

[Cybele]

I'm going for the teal turkey, so feel free to avoid that for a better chance at getting your own points.

[Scarlet]

[CHALLENGE THREE: THE FEAST RESULTS]

Everyone has been informed via PM whether they won something or not.

[CHALLENGE FOUR: THE LOTTERY RESULTS]

I have informed the winner of the lottery via PM. If you did not get a PM, you did not win.

[CHALLENGE FIVE: THE PASSWORD RESULTS]

The correct word was OVERCOME.
