Jeff: Welcome, tribes. Jaburu,taking  a look at Tambaqui, missing Dave from their last Tr!bal Council.

I hope you guys like product placements, because this Reward is a giant one. The winners of today's challenge will bring back to camp a mini-fridge full of Coca Cola. I'm sure that this refreshing pick-me-up will give you a nice lead in the next !mmunity Challenge, and boost your stats, as usual (+20 stats of your choice). Certainly worth playing for, right?


REWARD CHALLENGE #03

LIGHT MY FIRE

In a nutshell:
Each tribe has a playing area filled with gasoline-soaked ropes, with 4 tribal flags at specific positions. Tribes aim to burn out their flags and all their ropes as quickly as they can. Each tribe can also take turns to douse the opposite tribe's flames with a bucket of water, provided they can predict where their flames are.

The colored letters T and J represent the tribal flags that need to be burned.


Scoring

Burning a flag - A flag is worth 15 points, minus how many turns it took to burn the flag.

Burning all ropes - 50 points are awarded for burning all the ropes, minus the number of turns it took to accomplish this.


Challenge sequence

Each tribe will first secretly pick 3 rope ends to set on fire. These must be ends of ropes, and cannot be on a flag.

Fire travels in all directions of rope connecting to it, and it travels at a speed of 4 squares per turn.

At the same time, the tribe will attempt to predict what the other tribe chose. You have 3 buckets of water to start out with.
Choose where to splash the water. Remember each tribe has a different map, so you can douse the same place you lit a fire for your own team. Each bucket occupies a 3x3 area.

You are to use an image-editing software like Paint to indicate this (indicate with a red X the points you are lighting, and color in blue the points you are dousing), and upload it to an image host like tinypic.com

Any tribemember can do this, but please communicate. I will accept the first reply.


Please ask all questions in the thread, as this may take awhile to understand. This is essentially a modified game of Battleships, with a few conceptual changes.

The later steps of the challenge will be explained further.

Before Jaburu sends anything, please pick someone to sit out.

SURVIVORS READY, GO!
