Chapter Two: Target Practice
« on: September 05, 2021, 08:31:28 am »
"This is not just a rescue party. This is a great scouting opportunity."



As we all know, any good Khaki Scout is well trained in marksmanship, and so in this challenge, we'll be testing your skill at the firing range.  Each player in your tribe will take one shots at the target shown below.  Sometimes you will hit your target, but sometimes you may miss above, below, or in another direction.

Here's the target:


Each tribe will have an official thread for this challenge, with its own target to shoot.

There are two parts involved in taking a shot at the target.  First, you have to aim, and second you have to fireBoth parts will be done with a single post.

You will draft this post in your tribe's official challenge thread, and the post must state where on the target you are aiming.  For example, to take aim at the bullseye, you would say you're firing at D4.  Then you will pull the trigger, or in other words, submit that post. 

After you fire your shot, we will consult the time the post was submitted to determine your accuracy.  If the number of seconds ends in a 1, you will HIT your target.  For example, if the time shows 01 seconds, 11 seconds, 21 seconds, or so on, then you're an ace shot!  If the final digit in the second counter is 0, however, you will misfire completely.  Here's the full breakdown of how the seconds on your post will impact your shot:

1: Direct hit!
2: Miss low
3: Miss low and left
4: Miss left
5: Miss up and left
6: Miss up
7: Miss up and right
8: Miss right
9: Miss down and right
0: Misfire!

Each player will take one shot. 

Once a square has been hit, it will be off the board.  A second shot hitting that same square will score 0 points.
A shot that misses the target completely will be considered a misfire, and like a misfire, will score 0 points. 

Each player's points will be added to their tribe's total, and the tribe with the highest score will win immunity!  If a player fails to take their shot before the deadline, they contribute no points to their tribe's score.

This challenge begins now.  You will have 24 hours to fire your shots.  Camp Ivanhoe, you'll be sitting one player out.  Please declare your sit out in your challenge thread before beginning.

The losing tribe will have a date with me at Tribal Council. 

If we have a tie, the tribe that fired their highest earning shot last sequentially will win the challenge.  If it's still a tie, we'll examine the order of each tribe's second highest scoring shot, and so on down the line.

@mods - is the target for both tribes the same? I'm getting slightly confused on the wording of things.

Both tribes have their own target, but all with the identical layout posted here.

Can we discuss the challenge or is the thread just for shooting?

Make a separate thread if you’d like to discuss strategy.

Are we allowed to use a clock to try to time our shots, or no?

Results may be slightly delayed as Wes and I are both on our phones and some shots happened close to deadline, but we will get them to you as soon as possible.
