Our first challenge has begun! And what better way to kick things off than a bidding war on Contestant's Row?

First Challenge - The Price Is Right: One Bid Bonanza


Buzzers?: No
Activity Type: This is a Live or Semi-Live challenge. Live vs Semi-Live depends on the contestants’ schedules.
Privacy Type: This is a Public challenge. All play will be done in the general channel and all results will be public.

If all 13 contestants cannot play this round live due to scheduling issues, they will be grouped by like time zones and multiple sets of the game will be played. In such a case, each group will play with different items and the outcomes of all sets will be compared against each other to determine rankings.

10 rounds of One Bid (aka the Contestant’s Row game). In each round, a picture of a random item that might be found in the average household will be displayed, along with a brief description of the item. Each contestant guesses the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of the displayed item, going down the line with a predetermined randomized order of contestants.

All MSRPs are rounded up to the nearest whole dollar amount and all bids must be given in whole dollar amounts. The three closest contestants in a round are given 3, 2, and 1 points respectively. There is no bonus for a perfect bid and a perfect bid is not necessary to earn 3 points. Bids that go over the MSRP do not receive points; this includes situations where all contestants go over. Contestants cannot bid the same amount in a round as another contestant, but $1 Bid and [Amount Of A Previous Bid +$1] are both eligible bids as per the rules of the source. MSRPs are based on info sources pertaining to the manufacturers and are expressed in American currency. Sale prices are not considered when determining the MSRP of any given item.

The contestant with the least amount of points after 10 rounds is a candidate for elimination and must select another contestant to go up against in a vote. Ties for candidacy and ties for ranking are both broken by which contestant went over more often. (Example: Smith and Jones both have 4 points. Smith went over twice and Jones went over three times, which means Smith wins the tie. If this were a candidacy tie, Jones would be the elimination candidate.)
 
And with the third set done, the final scores are all follows:

1st Place: Hannah - 19 points
2nd Place: Wolv - 18 points
3rd Place: Bloody - 16 points
4th Place: Cleo - 14 points (won an additional tiebreaker against AJ)
5th Place: AJ - 14 points (0 times over)
6th Place: Kalenjav - 14 points (3 times over)
7th Place: Oddish - 14 points (4 times over)
8th Place: Hal - 14 points (5 times over)
9th Place: Sanjana - 13 points
10th Place: Marth - 12 points (2 times over)
11th Place: Dusk - 12 points (3 times over)
12th Place: Mewtwo - 10 points
13th Place: Drookez - 9 points

Elimination Phase

Drookez vs. MewtwoHidden

All contestants have 24 hours to vote for the contestant they want to elimiate from the game.

Deadline is 4/20 3pm CDT.
 
This is the closest we have ever gotten to a walrus-Survivor hybrid... so far.

Second Challenge - Name That Tune: Pick-A-Lyric

Buzzers?: No
Activity Type: This a Semi-Live challenge. Each team is expected to schedule a playing time and play their portion of the game live. Play By Post will only be applied in extreme cases of scheduling difficulties.
Privacy Type: This is a Mixed Privacy challenge. Team formation is public and will be done in the general channel (though communication before officially forming teams can be done both privately and publicly). Each team will receive their own private channel for playing the challenge. All results will be publicized at the end of the challenge.

Contestants group themselves into three teams of four that each work together privately for the challenge. Each team is given a randomly chosen list of words. Each list contains 100 non-repeating words, including the words that make up a well-known line from a popular song. After the team decides on their specific turn order, each contestant in a team selects a word to eliminate from the list, earning their team 1 point for each eliminated word. If a contestant selects a word that’s part of the secret song lyric, that contestant must sit out for the rest of the challenge and can no longer help their team. A player who is confident they know which song’s lyric is hidden within their team’s list may chose to skip picking a word and instead ping me to guess the title of the song. If they guess incorrectly, no penalty is given and the turn passes on to the next contestant on the team. A correct guess of the song title ends the game for the respective team immediately. As such, guessing the song’s title cannot be done once 51 words are eliminated from a team’s list.

Each team continues on in this manner until all contestants on a team are eliminated (locking in their current score as their final score), all the incorrect words on a list are eliminated (locking in the non-title cap as their final score), or until a team correctly guesses the title of the song the lyric comes from (locking in double their current score as their final score). Maximum score is 100, as per the title guessing cap rule. Scores are not publicly revealed until all three teams are finished with the challenge.

Because this is a team game, the metric for this elimination is different from other eliminations. The team with the lowest final score is designated the losing team, with ties being broken by which team was the earliest to have a contestant eliminated. The other two teams each privately pick a contestant from the losing team to go up against each other in a vote. The selecting teams must each come to a consensus before announcing their chosen elimination candidate. If the selecting teams each pick the same contestant, that contestant is automatically eliminated. During the selection period, contestants may only converse with other members of their challenge team.

Donee is totally a real word. Go google it and see.

Third Challenge - Deal Or No Deal: Dealers & Donees

Buzzers?: No
Activity Type: This is a Mixed Timing game. Round One is Play By Post and Round Two is Live or Semi-Live.
Privacy Type: This is a Public challenge. All play will be done in the general channel and all results will be public.

This game consists of 26 identical virtual briefcases which contain varying cash amounts inside ranging from $0.01 to $1,000,000. The game is played publicly, though the various cash amounts are private until made relevant. Each competitor- in a first come, first served order- will select and open two briefcases, combining the cash amounts in their selected briefcases to obtain their score. A list of available cash amounts will be posted, pinned, and updated as each briefcase is opened.

After all 11 contestants have chosen and opened their briefcases and only 4 briefcases remain, the second round begins. The host will designate the top 4 scoring contestants as Dealers and the remaining contestants are all designated as Donees (as in a donor donates to a donee). Each Dealer will be offered a cash amount in exchange for letting a Donee of that Dealer’s choosing open a third briefcase. The Donee in question must be selected and publicly announced by the Dealer before the cash offer is made, including pinging the Donee in question. If a Dealer agrees to a deal, they add the offered cash amount to their score and the Donee in question selects one of the remaining briefcases and adds its cash amount to their own score. The second round and all information therein is public, including the remaining money amounts and the fact that the contestant rankings may change depending on the outcomes of the Dealers’ and Donees’ actions. The Dealer is allowed to listen to the opinions of fellow Dealers, alliances, and spectators before picking a Donee and/or deciding whether or not to take a deal.

The contestant with the lowest cash amount after the second round is a candidate for elimination and must select another contestant to go up against in a vote. The player who opens the $1,000,000 briefcase during the course of the game cannot be chosen as an elimination candidate. Ties for ranking and for candidacy are both broken by who had the lowest cash amount in a single briefcase. (Example: Smith and Jones both have $25,000. Smith has $20,000 + $5,000 and Jones has $10,000 + $15,000, which means Jones wins the tie. If this were a candidacy tie, Smith would be the elimination candidate.)

-----

The Play By Post round does not have a deadline. A deadline may be set during the second round.
 
Dealer's Round Begins

Time for our dealers to pick their Donees and hear their offers.

Our four dealers are...

apricity
ajhockeystar
Cleo
BLOODYRAIN10001

The remaining contestants are all eligible to be chosen as Donees. Only one Dealer per Donee.

Play By Post is possible for this round, but having all four Dealers on at once is preferred. Briefcase amounts will not be revealed until all four Dealers have made their decisions.

New displays will be made for the remaining briefcases and cash amounts. As for the leftover money... The multiplier has been chosen: All cash amounts will be multiplied by 100. 25 becomes 2,500, 300 becomes 30,000, 1,000 becomes 100,000... and 10,000 becomes 1,000,000. (Note: becuase the multiplier is a spur of the moment hotfix, the new million dollar briefcase does not come with a Token of Life.)

Good luck to the Dealers, and good luck to our potential Donees.
 
The final scores for the Third Challenge are as follows:

Hal: $1,312,000
Marth: $1,000,080
AJ: $906,001
Bloods: $627,050
Cleo: $604,000.01
Hannah: $400,000
Drookez: $125,000
Oddish: $101,250
Wolv: $30,300
Jav: $25,400
Sanjana: $7,510

Note that this ranking list will also be the general order of play for the next challenge.

Elimination Phase

Sanjana vs. ajhockeystar

All contestants have a little over 24 hours to vote for the contestant they want to eliminate from the game.

Deadline is 5/6 3pm CDT (GMT-5).
 
With a close score of 6 to 5, ajhockeystar becomes our third consolation prize.



(How are there only two gifs of this...)

4th Challenge begins later tonight.

And the dealing just keeps on keeping on...

Fourth Challenge - Let’s Make A Deal: Smash For Cash

Buzzers?: No
Activity Type: This is a Play By Post game. There may be instances of various contestants playing simultaneously depending on schedules.
Privacy Type: This is a Private challenge. Each contestant will play the came in their private confessional channel. All results will be publicized at the end of the challenge.

Each contestant starts the game by choosing a set of ten virtual piggy banks. Order of choice is determined by the rankings from the last game. Each contestant also has a thermometer scale ranging from 0 to 20000. Each set contains eight piggy banks with various cash amounts attached (the sum of those eight piggy banks adding up to $20,000) and two piggy banks which contain Zonks. These sets have random orders to their contents and the contents for each piggy bank are unknown to all except the host until made relevant.

Once each contestant has been assigned a set of piggy banks, they then smash their piggy banks one by one and add any cash amounts they find to their thermometer. Finding one Zonk resets your thermometer to zero, while finding two Zonks ends the game and locks in your current cash total as your final score. Reaching the maximum score of $20,000 without finding any Zonks will also end the game. All scores are private until all contestants have completed their Smash runs.

The contestant with the lowest final score is a candidate for elimination and must select another contestant to go up against in a vote. Any contestant who earns $17,000 or more in their run cannot be chosen as an elimination candidate. In the event that all contestants earn $17,000 or more, this will be disregarded.

Ties for ranking will be broken by who got the lowest cash amount on their first smash and who, if any, was earliest to discover a zonk. (Examples: Smith and Jones both finished with 15,000 points. Smith’s first smash was 2000 points and Jones’s first smash was 1000 points, which means Smith wins this tie. Wayne and Jonathan both finished with 10,000 points and started with a 1000 point smash. Wayne got a zonk on the second smash and Jonathan got a zonk on the fourth smash, which means Jonathan wins that tie.) Ties for candidacy are broken by the tying contestants each posting a picture of the costume they would wear on the set of Let’s Make A Deal and then sparing whomever has the best costume as determined by the host.

---

Another Play By Post Game with no set deadline.
 
The smashing is over and the results are in!

1st Place - Oddish
2nd Place - Hal
3rd Place - Bloody
4th Place - Wolv
5th Place - Hannah
6th Place - Drookez
7th Place - Sanjana
8th Place - Jav
Tied for last place - Cleo and Marth

As per the rules of this challenge, a tie for last place means only one thing...

Costume Party Tiebreaker

Marth and Cleo must send me a picture of the costume you would wear to the actual set of Let's Make a Deal within the next 24 hours. Whoever sends me the costume I like most will get the 9th place ranking. The other one will become the elimination candidate.

Deadline for sending me a costume is May 9th 7pm CDT (GMT-5).
