Inmunidad Challenge #4

[Host Sandy]

Four down, fourteen to go. 



This is the first time these new tribes will battle against one another. I hope y'all are ready to sattle up!

One of the more popular cultural aspects of Mexico are Cowboys; animal herders who rose to historic significance and even legend. It is the traditions of the Vaquero that laid the foundation for Cowboys in this area, thanks to their natural horsemanship. For today's challenge, each person from your tribe will become a Cowboy and complete one level of a flash game attempting to earn the highest score & the quickest time. Because this challenge is geared to your Individual skill, each tribe member will face off against one member of the opposing tribes. In the interest of fairness, the match ups will be in alphabetical order.

Billy vs. Bryan
Cody vs. Dashon
Joe vs. Jacob
Kurtis vs. John
Rich vs. Sassy
TJ vs. Slayer
Zavi vs. TQ

The Set-Up

All tribe members will use >>> this link <<< to direct them to Cactus Jack. Complete the first level only and upload your best screencapped score making sure the following areas are visible; time, challenges completed, treasure chests earned, total money accumulated, and total high score. Each faceoff will be based on Fastest Time, Challenges Completed, Chests Earned, Money Accumulated. For every task you defeat your opponent in you will earn 1 point for your tribe. Whichever tribe scores the highest will win Immunity and an extra 50 iS Pesos will be awarded.

Great submissions so far! To confirm one of the scoring fields "Total High Score" is merely the score of the level. If you re run the challenge a second time the total increases which we will not count. If the three scores aren't matching we'll default to the score above which is your attempt at the time.

There was also some confusion with re-submitting/editing the score in your official thread. That's a big no-no. One of the fancy new features to Proboard is that we can see previous edits so don't get caught!

[John]

If that's the case, then why were we told "Each faceoff will be based on Fastest Time, Challenges Completed, Chests Earned, Money Accumulated, and Total High Score"?

[Host Sandy]

Because I'm an idiot?

[John]

So will we be judged on Total High Score as stated in the immunity challenge instructions? Or will we be allowed to resubmit now that we know it's the score from the latest run that counts?

[Host Sandy]

No, you will not be judged on total high score, but Area Total - rather. I was unaware after other attempts that total increased. It is only fair to be judged on scores received during one run through the game.

If you'd like to resubmit, the challenge can be extended if people so choose. However, upon resubmittals you will have forfeit that extra tribe point if you originally posted first (if your opponent chooses not to resubmit).

Sorry for the confusion.

"It is only fair to be judged on scores received during one run through the game."

But money accumulated also builds up the more runs you complete, and that's one of the factors that we were told would factor into the score. I'm just really confused now about how this will be scored and if I made the right choice in posting what I did, when I did. I'm at work now and can't do any flash games before the time limit, so I guess I'll just drop it.

[Slayer]

I'm in the same boat as John, I couldn't resubmit even if I wanted to. So if my totals don't count cause they accumulate over various run-through, I'm screwed

[Billy]

I ditto exactly what John said.

[Host Sandy]

Okay clearly Production should have played this challenge 45 times over, with 10 different browsers before clearing it and giving it the okay.

This is turning into a mess.

Sorry but a new challenge will be posted shortly.

[Slayer]

Love you guys!
