Your House will select one member to compete in this challenge. You may not select your House leader. This "hero" will represent your whole house in the White Heron Cup. They will compete to win immunity for your tribe. The challenge will be a rhythm game - The "heroes" will have one hour to post the best score they can. The game will be revealed to each of those players when they are ready to compete.

The winner of the White Heron Cup will become a Dancer. The third-place finisher will send their class to the Audience Chamber.

You have 24 hours to choose a hero and for them to complete the challenge.

I seem to have made a mistake in the instructions I gave everyone and the result of that isn't fair. Currently trying to figure out the best solution.

Rhea · « **Reply #2 on:** November 06, 2021, 06:00:34 pm »

OK, so we're gonna throw out that game and use a different one. This time, we'll have everyone do the same song. Sorry. Deadline is extended 24 hours and you're welcome to change heroes if you like.

Fair warning: the new game does not seem to work on Firefox. We recommend using a different browser.

It's probably a good idea to get to your best computer setup for this!

For those curious, the initial game was https://rhythm-plus.com/

The new challenge has gone down. We are going to wait a little while and see if it comes back. I promise I'm at least as annoyed by this as you are.

It feel like challenge is of the cursings this round. Maybe we all make offerings to the Emblem of Fire and maybe it fix problematics.

Dimitri bows, "I summon the power of peanut butter and white sauce!"

Rhea · « **Reply #9 on:** November 07, 2021, 06:34:48 pm »

We have replaced the challenge again. This time, the maximum time limit will be 30 minutes.

Rhea · « **Reply #10 on:** November 07, 2021, 06:36:07 pm »

Also there will be another extension.

Here I thought this was the least likely challenge in the game to be a problem.

Third time lucky right?

Rhea · « **Reply #12 on:** November 07, 2021, 07:05:08 pm »

Tea Party bids will lock at the next :00 so that we can post results early if everyone finishes.

Mercedes · « **Reply #13 on:** November 08, 2021, 02:27:06 pm »

alright, y'all better not have the challenge crash this time cuz i'm absolutely not re-doing it a 4th time

Dimitri · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2021, 02:35:27 pm »

Dimitri chuckles, "If it crashes again, we all get immunity and get to vote one of the hosts out."

Rhea · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2021, 02:43:55 pm »

If this particular challenge crashed, I would be speechless tbh.

Lorenz · « **Reply #16 on:** November 08, 2021, 02:54:10 pm »

Being speechless won't help us know what to do next tbh.

Good point

Rhea · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2021, 05:51:36 pm »

I have the results! I think I'll tabulate as I go...

On the first song,

Dorothea scored 26,510.
Alois scored 24,800.
Mercedes scored 24,580.

Rhea · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2021, 05:52:41 pm »

On the second song,

Dorothea scored 20,510.
Alois scored 23,470.
Mercedes scored 35,170.

Rhea · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2021, 05:53:29 pm »

On the third song,

Dorothea scored 44,360.
Alois scored 77,440.
Mercedes scored 115,380.

Rhea · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2021, 05:55:49 pm »

And now for the bonus song...

Dorothea did not unlock the bonus song in time.
Alois scored 35,050.
Mercedes scored 44,750.

I don't actually need to do the math here!

Mercedes wins it for Golden Deer.

Black Eagles, looks like you're headed for a date with me at House Tribunal. The Tribunal post may not be up for a few minutes.

Alois · « **Reply #22 on:** November 08, 2021, 05:56:28 pm »

Great game to both of you!

Rhea · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2021, 06:07:31 pm »

FYI, going to leave the deadline where it is for now, but it will return to 8 eastern by Thursday.

Rhea · « **Reply #24 on:** November 08, 2021, 06:16:03 pm »

The first iteration of this challenge was canceled because we discovered that higher difficulty did not contribute significantly to scores. I said it did in my instructions, so I had effectively lied.

(Furthermore, it turns out that you could get an absurdly high score just by choosing a song that was extremely long.)

The second version was osugame.online. It was down for several hours at a crucial moment, so we had to scrap it.

Jury votes due and live reveal starts
