so what if when we post that we are ready your not online or something?
I get an email to my phone and should be able to post quickly. So unless im asleep, should be ready

Can you tell us beforehand how long it should take roughly (minutes? hours? days?)?

Someone who tested the puzzle estimated an hour (took them a few but they didn't do it all in one sitting)

Ok isn't the bottom right corner impossible?

Maybe I still don't understand the rules, but my thoughts are it can't be done.

F6: Tribal Council

Come on in guys!

Everyone: Anyone feeling particularly safe tonight?
Watno: How does it feel to finally have that idol?
Everyone: Is there any consideration for the jury yet?

TC ends Saturday. I'm out of town this weekend, so I may have AdamH post the challenge or something, I don't know.

I think we all agreed to vote out Awaclus, so tonight's kind of a break. You never know though, so I'm going to be terrified as always when you release the vote video.

These are my thoughts exactly. I haven't really been thinking too much about the jury yet. I think right now the most important thing is trying to cement my place in the final tribal

Your next reward challenge will be a LIVE CHALLENGE, meaning that we need to find a time where a good chunk of us will be able to be here at the same time to do it. Here's what I need from you all:

Post in your confessional all of the times (UTC) you can be around to do this challenge. We will run the challenge on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday; the challenge will take no longer than an hour. If you don't post in your confessional by Monday night at 10PM Eastern, then we'll just assume you are always available!

Also, when you post this, also post whether you can do an audio or video call on Skype or Google Hangouts. If everyone can do this it will make the challenge go faster.


We'll do the challenge at the time when the most people can join us, if there's a tie, we'll just choose the time most convenient for us! :) We'll make a disposable chat and maybe have some Google Sheets to help out. Please try to give the challenge your full attention so things can keep moving (it will stay moving without you though!)

Now for the challenge: you'll be playing Coup, the popular social deduction game. The link explains the rules but I'll do it here too, as there are a couple of minor variations on things for this challenge (they are after the main rules).


Quote
In Coup, you will be dealt two face-down role cards which represent your life (you start with two life). The goal is to eliminate all of the other players by reducing their life to zero, if you do this without dying yourself, you win the game. As you lose life, your role cards are flipped face up and are publicly visible (when you go from two life to one, you get to pick which role card you flip over). Face-up role cards do not give you any special abilities, but the face-down ones do (more on that later).

On your turn, you must take an action; you have several choices for actions, let's talk about them.

The first three actions you can take are the bread 'n' butter of the game:

1. Take one dollar: you add 1 to your money. BTW you start the game with $2.
2. Take two dollars: you add 2 to your money. Why would you take one dollar when you could take two dollars instead? Well because this action can be blocked, but I'll talk about that later.
3. Coup someone: if you have 7 or more money, you can take this action; you pay $7, choose any player, and they lose a life. This action cannot be blocked or challenged or anything, it can only be whined about. If you start your turn with $10 or more, you are required to take this action.

So this is the idea of the game, you get money, then you Coup people. Good times. Let's talk about some other actions now. Your face-down role cards (which also represent your life) "allow" you to take some special actions. Of course those cards are face-down so you can bluff as much as you want (which is why I'm going to use so many quotes) but we'll address bluffing and challenging later.

Duke. Take three dollars: you add 3 to your money. Yeah this is pretty good, but it "requires" the Duke. Also, the Duke allows you to block anyone trying to take two dollars with their action so they get zero dollars instead.

Example: AdamH tries to take two dollars with his action. AHoppy says "no I am the Duke, I block you". AdamH puts the two dollars back and shoots a mean look at AHoppy because he doesn't have the balls to challenge AHoppy's Duke. AHoppy then uses his action to take three dollars. Another dirty look. etc...


Captain. Steal two dollars: Choose another player, you take two of their dollars. It's pretty good, but it "requires" having a Captain AND can also be blocked by other Captains or Ambassadors.

Example: AdamH says "I am the Captain, I steal two from AHoppy." AHoppy says "no can do, brah, I have an Ambassador." More dirty looks, AdamH does not get any dollars this turn.

I should note that only the person being stolen from can claim Captain or Ambassador to block it.


Assassin: You pay $3, point at someone and they lose a life. It's pretty good, but it "requires" the Assassin card and can also be blocked by a Contessa.

Contessa: You don't get a special action you can take for this, all the Contessa allows you to do is to block Assassinations. Once again, only the person being Assassinated can use their Contessa to block.


Ambassador. Exchange: Along with being able to block attempts to steal from you, the Ambassador allows you to take the Exchange action. You take two role cards from the deck in the middle, then look at those cards plus your face down role card(s) and the put any two of them back. So if you have two life you pick your two favorite from four cards. If you have one life, you pick your one favorite from three cards.

Now would be a good time to say this: the deck of cards we play with has 15 cards, 3 of each of the five roles. This may be useful information.



Now remember all the quotes I used, and the talk of challenges and bluffing? Let's deal with that now. Any time someone does anything that "requires" a special role card, of course they don't actually have to have it. But if you think another guy is bluffing you can challenge them.

Example: AdamH tried to take $2 for his action, AHoppy blocked him with his Duke. Tired of being stepped on, AdamH grows a pair and says "I challenge your Duke!"

There are two possibilities from here.

1. AHoppy has the Duke: AHoppy reveals his Duke card, then shuffles it into the deck and gets another face-down role card (it could be the same Duke, or it could be anything). Then as punishment for challenging and being wrong, AdamH loses a life. Holy crap.

2. AHoppy doesn't have the Duke: In this much more likely scenario, AHoppy doesn't have the goods, so AHoppy loses a life for his transgressions. Also, AdamH gets to actually take his $2 unless some other brave Duke out there wants to try and block him. Good luck with that, though.

So whenever there's a challenge, somebody is losing a life. A reminder: anyone may challenge any role claim. That's different from blocking Captains and Assassins, where you had to be the target to block it: of course I don't think anyone else is gonna step in for you if some mean old Captain or Assassin is picking on you, but they're allowed to if they want.

I should also warn you about one particular scenario that can get people pretty salty. Let's say AHoppy tries to Assassinate me and I have two life. And let's say I don't like that. If I challenge his Assassin and he has it, I lose a life from that AND I'm still getting shot at, so I could lose another life there. Same goes for if I try to block with a Contessa I don't have -- if he challenges me I'm going to lose a life for not having the Contessa, and I'm still going to lose a life because he's Assassinating me. Reckless challenges are a great way to quickly lose the game from a good position, so be careful!

Those are the rules of Coup. Now for the adaptations we'll make for this challenge. We're going to play Coup for an hour. If someone wins three games before that hour is up, the challenge is over and they win. If we get to the hour mark and nobody has three wins, the person with the most wins at that point will win reward. In case of a tie here, whoever got to that win total first wins reward.

In the interest of keeping the game moving, we'll implement some time constraints. Please read the rules of Coup and be familiar enough with them to be able to play by the time the challenge starts! You can ask any questions in your confessional or you can PM AdamH with questions.


As for the challenge, if there's any action that can be blocked or challenged, I'll wait 10 seconds for any challenges. If I hear nothing, the next person can take their action. If you type "thinking" or anything like that, I'll give you more time, and I'll try to be lenient, but I do want to keep the game moving. I don't want to wait a minute every time someone takes an action that nobody will challenge or else the challenge will drag.

If it's your turn to act, you'll have 15 seconds to respond with either your action or something to let me know you're there and paying attention, otherwise you'll be treated like people who can't make the challenge until you come back.

Speaking of people who can't make it, they will NOT sit out of the challenge. Rather, their moves will be determined randomly, with a bias toward things that they can actually do without losing a challenge. They will also sometimes challenge some actions, which will get more frequent as there are less players remaining in the game! The details of this will not be made known to you; but never fear, if you can't make the challenge you could still win!



Summary:

1. Post in your confessional by Monday night when you can spare an hour to do this challenge live. Also post if you can do audio and/or video on Skype and/or Google Hangouts.
2. Read the rules of Coup and make sure you understand the game before the challenge starts.
3. Challenge time should be posted Monday night.

A ghostly apparition appears. It looks like AdamH, but it can't be him, he doesn't post on F.DS anymore... Where are Scooby-Doo and the gang when you need them?

We found a time that should work for everyone who responded, and that time is:

Wednesday, August 10, 2016 at 10PM UTC (6PM EDT, 5PM CDT, 3PM HydradTime)

The challenge will not go longer than an hour. Some people did not respond about Skype or Google Hangouts for this so I assume that means you can't do it. I'll have a disposable chat ready and stuff. PM me any questions if you have them, or if something changes. Other times can potentially work if we have notice.
