Motoki’s Challenge Thoughts

This particular thread I will praising or talking shit about the challenges xoxo. Mostly care about the challenge itself. Any specific performances by various competitors will probably be mentioned in the rankings if they have nothing else going for them.

Challenge Name: Knife Chair
Challenge Type: Trap #1
Description: Create a thread using various forum codes in subsequent posts
Thoughts: I think it’s a cute challenge that 1) helps newbies get acclimated to the forum; 2) weeds out the inactives / lazies; 3) helps players figure out who would be good to work with later on. I feel like I would want to work with the people who finished first because they are either vets which is good or they are newbies that can adapt quickly, which is even better. On the flip side, the people who finish last are either hopeless newbies who will struggle with the forum or they are lazy vets who need to get their shit together. And any of those I would definitely NOT want to work with.

Challenge Name: The Needle Pit
Challenge Type: Trap #2
Description: Create a thread and spam it
Thoughts: This isn’t any shade to you. I just personally hate posting challenges. They’re boring and don’t do anything and just basically test your willpower. I will say I DO like the fact that there’s a little twist to it, specifically docking health points for whatever their placement is. I think it also gives people a reason to actually try as hard as they could. I do think because there are so many people, there is a slight issue I would have. Like imagine being the person with the fifth highest number of posts but you’re 300 posts behind the fourth placer and 200 posts ahead of the sixth placer. It means I could have stopped 199 posts ago. I guess that’s the risk you take.

Challenge Name: Master Key
Challenge Type: HOH #1
Description: Pick a key and ask for keys in hopes of obtaining master key
Thoughts: So this is another classic. It’s short and sweet and doesn’t require a lot. We all love a good social competition. In this case, if you wanna win, you need to go campaigning for some keys to increase the chances of you winning. I do love that it’s all done in secret too, because it means you can lie about things. Like if someone asked me for my key I would say yes and not do it anyway and then when they win HOH I’m like yasssssss I knew my key would come in handy! I personally enjoy this comp though. It forces people to interact and we love a good icebreaker.

Challenge Name: Billy on Holiday
Challenge Type: POV #1
Description: Identify landmarks that Billy has visited
Thoughts: Pretty straightforward comp. Short, sweet, and to the point. I would personally hate it as a player because I’m not cultured AT ALL and don’t recognize any landmarks except maybe the bridge? I’m assuming it’s the Golden Gate Bridge which is funny because Billy is HUUUUGE which means that this would be a very terrifying visual even if he were fake. But yeah I mean for people who like seeing different cool places of pictures this would be perfect. I just feel like it’s world geography homework :3
