Challenge 4: Things
Greetings all. The fourth challenge is things.
But first. Some business to get to.
Quitters
Let Tumes Tari has quit. Goodbye, Let Tumes Tari!
CrAIyon also quit, after judging happened. See this section for more information.
Board Decisions
Before we can get to the board decisions...
Liquidation
I hate to make unilateral decisions like this, but it feels necessary: banned users will have their tokens forcibly liquidated and distributed to the remaining members of the last team they were on according to My game records. To make things a little more fair, if they can't be distributed evenly in centishares, the excess centishares will be given to the teammates who performed lowest in the previous challenge.
Plumbers Hero: ↝ 0.41 shares ↴
- Strawberry: +0.04 shares
- Gamer: +0.04 shares
- McDonald's Sweet n' Sour Sauce: +0.04 shares
- Copper Pepper: +0.04 shares
- Tahmahtoh: +0.05 shares
- Big Boy: +0.05 shares
- Fictional charcter: +0.05 shares
- SFD Jigsaw Piece: +0.05 shares
- Sunny: +0.05 shares
Tori: ↝ 0.17 shares ↴
Wait. Uh. Hm. Tori was never on a team. I guess, in that case, it makes sense to distribute the shares to the competitor who never had a chance to be on a team to begin with:
- Mark Genuine: +0.17 shares
To the ten of you: welcome to the Board! 0.58 shares have been subtracted from My account to cover the costs of liquidating these tokens.
Agenda
We received a lot of agendas during the voting period! Well, maybe a lot of them are from Me. But anyway, here's what we'll be voting on! Remember to vote on at least one of these agendas to maintain your board seats!
- Should a team-switching mechanic be introduced? Yes or No?
- Should there be a rejoin challenge after this one? Yes or No?
- Should this challenge be able to be done in groups? Yes or No or Within Teams?
- How many new shares should be introduced into the market? 0, 1, 10, or 100?
- Should the Homework Token be reintroduced in this challenge's analysis? Yes or No?
- Should eliminated players be allowed to own tokens? Yes or No?
- Can there be an official reddit account? Yes or No?
- Can User:QWillow make a new contestant and play them also so she has two contestant? Yes or No?

Of these, one is immediately actionable. Because eliminated players aren't allowed to have tokens, I'll be forcibly liquidating those immediately:
Liquidation II
Welcome to the board, Meme Folder, Miso, Pentagon, Twimble, and Witch's Cauldron!
Challenge
To be described after the board finishes deciding things.
To be described on Saturday!
To be described right now!!!
Things
What are "things", really? Well, they're... the stuff... around us. Items, artifacts, substances, trinkets, gadgets, tools, goods, gear, and so on. Your challenge? Create a new page to document a thing.
There are some requirements, some suggestions, and some restrictions.
Requirements
These requirements might seem kind of vague, but that's intentional for the sake of creative freedom.
- Things can do stuff. Your thing needs to have some kind of function or effect.
- Things have limitations. Drawbacks. Downsides. Weaknesses? There must be some sort of counterplay to your thing, if you'll permit Me to use some gamer language.
Suggestions
These are not required. There will be no direct metric in the scoring that requires these directly. However, I feel like consideration of these suggestions may lead you to a better score, because they make for better things. But, to reiterate, they are NOT required. If you do your own thing and it's still awesome, then that'll be epic as fuck.
- Consider the impact of your thing.
- Consider how your thing is applied, in everyday life or otherwise.
- Do we know the origin of your thing?
- Is your thing plentiful, unique, or something in between?
- If you're at a loss for what thing to document, check Special:WantedPages.
- See also
Restrictions
Some of these come from the board decisions. Sorry folks, My hands are tied! It was a really democratic process.
- Your thing must be described on a new article. You also can't 'move' an article to open up room for a thing to be called that.
- You need to put your thing's article in Category:Things (official).
- You must work alone. You're not allowed to edit anyone else's thing article.
- I hope this won't have to happen, but if you edit someone else's thing article, you'll be autoeliminated from the game.
- To prevent this from happening, I recommend putting the category on your thing's article immediately upon its creation. Otherwise people won't know not to edit it.
- Be nice and don't edit subpages of other people's (official) articles.
- Remember the rules of the camp and the wiki. Double check the blacklist. It's regularly changing. Good thing we have the compare revisions feature!
- Each of you can only put one article in the things category.
- Eliminated competitors and non-competitors are not allowed to add articles to the things category.
- As always, please be wary of transcluding pages in (official) categories, as those may not be <noincluded> and could be accidentally transferred.
Deadline
The deadline is Wednesday, February 1 Tuesday, February 14 at 3pm eastern. That's not hourly comic day, is it?
Judging Criteria
Should I just retire this section? I mean, right? BUT ALSO HAVE FUN AND DON'T BE A STINKER
Token Activities
Here's a snapshot of the bank at this moment!
() = spent tokens
Trade
On the talk page for this challenge, you may take any of the following actions. First come, first serve. You may not go into the negatives, for now. Removing tokens from circulation will not immediately affect their economic value.
- Use a token, if you own it. This activates the token's effects and removes the token from circulation.
- Sell a token to Me. I will always buy tokens at their set exchange rate, if I have the shares to spend. Basically, you can think of My shares as a pool of shares that you can take from Me by selling tokens.
- Propose a trade. You can offer to transfer shares or tokens to another player, in exchange for something of theirs. However, keep in mind that the further your trade strays from the standard exchange rates, the more "risk" is involved.
- For trading tokens or shares, I can execute the transfer immediately upon its acceptance. However, for trading anything else, I can only execute the transfer upon receiving proof that what was offered was delivered. In this case, there's a chance that the party offering a token or share will have used/spent/traded it away by the time it's delivered. In this case, you will not be compensated. This is a "risk".
- Accept a trade. You can accept a trade that someone's offered you, of course, if it's possible.
- Talk. You're allowed to talk in there, in case you want to strategize trades.
I will resolve these actions at my leisure, in the order that they are requested. You may only attempt actions at the BOTTOM of the queue. DO NOT disrupt the order of actions, or I will take My own sort of "action", and it will probably be harsh, and you don't want to see Me when I'm angry, okay?
You can see an up-to-date view of the economy at the Bank.
Trade Actions
Trade is open until results drop.

DNPers
Unfortnuately, it seems that Ostap, Tuna, Dodgeball, and In a Nutshell Jr. didn't participate, so they're out.
Liquidation III
Welcome to the board, Ostap and Tuna!
Challenge Results
There were 72 things! 71 of them do stuff, and 68 of them have limitations.
I really loved all of these things! Reading about these things was a pleasure. Anyway! Here we go:
Entries were scored using this fomula: =(E2*8)+(F2*9)-(4*G2^2)+75*(H2-1+I2-1)+CEILING(75*J2/(J2+K2+1))+((CEILING(SQRT(L2))+(M2*2)+N2-1)/10)
Team Averages
There was... this weird chunk of stuck-together empty teams in the way... so I had to split it by half this time.

Ya might be thinking, hey wait a second, doesn't this doom Cauldron since you gotta vote and there's only one competitor on Wanted contestants? Well don't worry. Voting's a liiittle different this time. Stay tuned!
Voting
I'm changing it again.
How many votes am I allowed to cast?
Refer to the "Votes" column in the previous table. Your most recent private vote will be the one I count, so you can change your vote at any time by resending, as long as it's before the deadline.
How many people will our team have to eliminate?
Refer to the "Vote out" column in the previous table.
How do we vote?
SocialProfile will be reinstalled. Once it's here, PM User:Satomi like last time. Make sure it's private this time. Public votes will not be counted!
Voting mechanics
It's different again, so pay attention! Changed sections will be underlined again.
- The person with the most votes on each team will be eliminated, with exceptions outlined below. (this is not new, just no longer implicit).
- The number of people a team needs to eliminate (0, 1) represents a MAXIMUM.
- A team that must eliminate 1 person can reduce this to 0 by having the votes be spread evenly across more than one candidate.
- This works by removing the tied candidates from the pool of people who could be eliminated, so a 2/2/1 split would still result in the person who got 1 vote being eliminated.
- A team that must eliminate 1 person can reduce this to 0 by having the votes be spread evenly across more than one candidate.
- When votes are revealed, only the quantities and the people eliminated will be shown, not who got which quantities. So you'll see, like, 0/2/4 and only know who got the 4, not who got the 0 or the 2.
- You may not vote for yourself.
- Failing to vote will result in autoelimination.
- This is the only way for someone with 0 votes to be eliminated... that is, nobody can be voted out with 0 votes.
- Being autoeliminated in this way uses up an 'elimination need' slot on your team, potentially rescuing your teammates from elimination.
- However, going beyond quota is possible. For example, if 3 people on a team fail to vote, they will all be eliminated, even if their team only needed to eliminate 2 people.
- You are not limited to voting for people on your own team.
- You must vote for a competitor who's on a team that must eliminate someone.
Is the SocialProfile extension installed yet?
Yes. Voting starts now.
Deadline
Voting ends on April 3, at 6pm eastern.
Also
During the voting period, if you want, you may PM User:Satomi suggestions for future board agendas.
Pre-elimination
Not starting yet, although, due to quittal, there's one team whose elimination is already resolved.
The Ostaps
CrAIyon has quit. This fulfills your elimination quota. As a result, I've decided you're exempt from needing to vote. You will not be autoeliminated for failing to vote. Congrats!
Elimination
People... you were only allowed to vote for people who are up for elimination. If you voted for Spamton or THE BIG CHEESE, your vote wasn't counted, and you'll be autoeliminated. I'm so sorry. This makes Me very sad. Cry: Next time, I'll make a list of valid voting targets, to make things easier.
Damn seal
123 Referee failed to vote, so she's autoeliminated, reducing the quota to zero! Goodbye, 123 Referee! Votes for her will still be counted.
Now for the voting:
2/1/1/0/0/0/0/0/0
None eliminated.
A Clique of Radical Omnicool Nonchalant Young-ish Members

Now for the voting:

None eliminated.
Low Hangers

0
None eliminated.
Analysis
Let's roll!
Errata
I actually miscalculated something, I just realized. This is the actual vote distribution for Team 17:
3/2/2/1/1/1/0/0/0
In the next board meeting, we'll vote to see if this person should be kept in. I apologize for this error. I'll double check next time.
Weasel Token
Congratulations to Checkpoint for being the first team to ever eliminate an eliminated competitor! Each of you gets a Weasel Token!
Nutshell Token
Congratulations to the members of the empty teams for making it above the voting line for once! Each of you gets a Nutshell Token!
Outstanding Action Commendation
Thanks for including a black t-shirt in your entry. Take a Beans Token! Also, your entry was the closest to what I had in mind when I created this challenge! The ideal thing!
Efficiency Champion
You scored last, but weren't even up for elimination! You even received an invalid vote! But you lived! It's a miracle! Take a Snowball Token!
Secret
Please... I can't take it anymore... solve the previous secret... the hint was recently changed but still exists on the wiki. Consider answers you may have previously decided couldn't be the solution. And remember that it's more of a trivia question than a puzzle.
