Round #1: Alphabet ~ worth 1 pt

[Judge Sam]

When the round begins, I will link you in chat to a web page that looks like this:

Each letter is movable by anyone. When anyone moves a letter, it will move on everyone's screen.


The Future people (and possibly the Spies?) will try and prevent you from working together to writing a message. You must write a phrase of at least 20 letters long in four minutes to win. It can be any phrase of words as long as they are coherent and in total exceed 20 characters. You are allowed one letter that is incorrect.


Your screenshotter will take a picture when you believe you have a message. If that screenshot shows a phrase that is at least 20 letters long in less than four minutes then you win.


There may be other people playing the game, they may try and disrupt your message. I can't control this - this is something you'll need to deal with. I will be watching but I will not disrupt it, nor will non-participating future players.

[Judge Sam]

spies score a point!

we will have one more game of this in 5-10 minutes after they discuss some strategy.

[Judge Sam]

futures score another point!

future: 2
spies6: 0

[Donald]

This did not go too well.

This shows that we need EVERYBODY, or as many of us as possible to be on to help. It was all of us vs. the future. We need more people to make this work for future challenges.

[Ed]

To be specific, more citizens please...spies can stay away.

[Donald]

Yes.
Sam said spies can't participate in these. It has to be citizens only.

Another thing, the Future People will be playing as represenatives of the Spies. If the future wins the most points in the mini-challenges, the Spies receive a reward. If Spies 6 wins, the citizens receive a reward.


For that reason, the Spies may or may not decide to sabotage the games... so maybe that will even out the playing field a little bit.

I believe that means that the Spies can participate. Otherwise, everyone who just played the last challenge is a confirmed Citizen.

[Levi]

True, and I'm certain there was some definite spy sabotage in round 1.

[Oswald]

This challenge was truly impossible, we need everyone we can get.

[Judge Sam]

If you are talking with each other using this alphabet thing after the challenge you are clearly breaking the GIGANTIC TWO BIG RULES by talking to each other not using accounts I provide and will face penalties ranging from self-votes to removal from the game.
