At the beginning of this challenge, you each start out with $1000. Using our adorable bot Genre Bear, you can play Blackjack and Roulette.

Below are some of the commands that work for the bot. If one is not giving you a response, it is likely because it is disabled.
!blackjack
!roulette
!roulette-info
!balance
!leaderboard

Do NOT rob, or use any alternative method of gaining money. You can only gain money through gambling. You can only spend money gambling. Do NOT use slash commands, only use ! prefix commands.

You will be doing the challenge in your tribe challenge channel.

You can only gamble **25** times per participating player. (This means only playing 25 times per player.) Each tribe will need to sit out people until the only have 6 participants.

**F54: Swap**
Congratulations, you have survived through the first phase of the game!
​

All of your squabling over the treasure has allowed the information to spread. It is no longer just you who know of the treasure and what it could mean for they who posses it.

It has spread far and wide, reaching the ears of some of the most notorious captains alive. Some have traveled great distances just for a chance to finally secure what they feel is owed to them.

You disagree. You deserve the treasure, not them.

Deciding to join them on their expedition, you hope that the rising tide will raise all ships, but that when the time is right, cannonfire will consume theirs. Their time in the spotlight is approaching the end, but for now, you will do what you must.


Your next challenge will be live and require you to send one tribe representative. We suggest sending a gambler.

**F54: Liars Dice**
For your next challenge, you will be playing a game of deception.​

Two tribes are winning immunity tonight. Hope you chose your representative well!

You will play rounds of Liar’s Dice until only two players have dice left. Those players' tribes will win immunity. Each player starts with 3 dice that only they know the value (or face) of. Players take turns either: (1): betting on the number of dice of a particular value that are on that round or (2): challenging the previous bet. If it is impossible to create a new bet, the player must challenge. At the end of each round,that round’s loser will lose one die and a new round begins with new dice and turn order. If a player runs out of dice, they are out of the challenge.

Bets must declare the quantity (1-X where X is number of dice in the game) of a face value (2 through 6). Any face value of 1 is treated as a wild card that can only help the bet. Bets may not have a face value of 1. Successive bets must either increase in the quantity of the same face value or any quantity of a higher face value. Bets may not decrease in face value. Example bets that can follow a bet of 3 dice that have a 4 value include a bet of 6 dice with a 4 value or a bet of 2 dice with a 5 value. An invalid bet to follow a bet of 3 dice with a 4 value would be a bet of any number of dice that have a 2 or 3 value, or 2 dice of a 4 value.

When a bet is challenged, all dice are revealed and the bet is evaluated. A bet is valid if there is at least the quantity defined of the total face values and wildcards rolled. The bet-owner and the challenger are at opposing odds. If the bet-owner’s bet is false, the bet-owner loses the round. If the bet-owner’s bet is true, the challenger loses the round. If the loser of the round is at 1 die, they are eliminated from the challenge and will be attending tribal council.

Tribe Reps are:
Totter for Anne Bonny
Bui for Edward Teach
Koolaid for Francis Drake
Daltz for WIlliam Kidd
Zach for Ching Shih
not adam for Henry Morgan

If multiple people have the same number of votes, we will enter a tiebreaker procedure, and you can only vote for one of those players, who cannot vote. If no consensus can be reached, the entire tribe aside from the Immune player, will draw rocks.

Best Boat will win individual immunity.

**F44: Cloud Wars**
For your next challenge, you will be playing a Flash Game, but complicated and on a graph!​

It will be a live version of a game called Cloud Wars. Here’s a video of some very basic gameplay to keep in mind while you learn the instructions for this challenge:

Some terminology:
Unclaimed cloud refers to gray squares
Claimed cloud refers to squares of a tribe color
Travel clouds are lighter colored versions of squares of a tribe color and move so they can claim other clouds
Cloud Power is the number associated with a cloud.

Each tribe will submit a ranked list of Clouds to be their starting Cloud. Ties will be settled by RNG. Claimed Clouds (Clouds owned by a tribe) will start with 10 power, and Unclaimed Clouds (Clouds not owned by a tribe) will start with 6 power.

The game will take place with a series of turns. At the start of each turn, all actions from the last turn will be resolved (if there are any). Next, all Claimed Clouds will gain 5 power, and all Unclaimed Clouds will gain 1 power. Then the new game board will be made public with updated information.

Once the board has been posted that turn, each tribe will have 5 minutes to discuss and to submit actions for that turn. The only action that can be made is Send Travel Cloud, but can be used however many times is possible. Sending a Travel Cloud is sending a smaller cloud that will move from a Claimed Cloud to any other Cloud. The Travel Cloud will feed on the sending Claimed Cloud, but must leave it with at least 1 power (so for example, if my Claimed Cloud has 10 power, I can send a Travel Cloud of any power from 9-1, but I can’t send one higher, because the Claimed Cloud doesn’t have enough power). All Travel Cloud movement will be resolved simultaneously.

When a Travel Cloud occupies the same board space as any Cloud not owned by the same tribe (This is true for Unclaimed Clouds, Claimed Clouds, as well as other Travel Clouds), a calculation will be made:

X Cloud Power - Travel Cloud Power = Y

If Y is positive, then the Cloud’s new power is Y.
If Y is 0, then the Cloud becomes unclaimed, and its new power is Y. (If this is the case with Travel Clouds, they will simply dissipate.)
If Y is negative, then the Cloud becomes owned by the owner of the Travel Cloud, and its new power is the absolute value of Y.

If two Clouds owned by the same tribe occupy the same space, they will combine in power automatically.

Travel Clouds will only move 3 spaces per turn, and cannot move diagonally. They cannot change targets once sent.

Your tribe is out if it ever loses all of its Clouds (Travel Clouds do not count for this purpose, if you have a Travel Cloud but no normal Cloud, you are out).

The last 2 tribes standing (owning Clouds) will win immunity. At 10PM EST (approx 2 hours after starting it), or if we reach what is functionally a stalemate, then the two tribes that have the highest total Cloud Power will win.

Congratulations, you have survived through the second phase of the game!​

Finally, it is time. The old captains have been deposed, and you see a chance to make real progress on the hunt for the treasure that their power blinded them to.

With them out of the way, you meet up with the fellow treasure hunters, and agree that, for now, you can reorganize and lead your own ships. After all, it's not like ol Teach has much use for his at the bottom of the sea, does he?

And so the new era begins, one of prosperity for all. Or is it for you? Heh, why does it matter?

**F38: Your Turn to Die (Death Game By PARROT)**
Welcome to PARROT.​

You will be playing a (somewhat modified) version of the game Your Turn to Die (Death Game by Majority). (It is a very fun game and I highly recommend you play it)

This will be a 72 hour long cycle (challenge and immunity combined).

Bear with us as there is quite a lot of information here.

Phase 1 - Cards and Capitalism
At the start of this phase, all attending members of your tribe will be randomly assigned cards.

There are 4 different cards. There is only 1 Keymaster, 1 Sage, 1 Sacrifice, and all remaining players are Commoners.

Keymaster - Keymaster is the closest to individual immunity. If receives a plurality vote, 2 players are randomly selected and eliminated from their tribe.
Sage - Knows who the Keymaster is at all times, and CANNOT explicitly lie about the identity of the Keymaster. If receives a plurality vote, self and Sacrifice are eliminated from their tribe.
Sacrifice - Has 2 votes. If receives a plurality vote, Sacrifice receives immunity, and grants immunity to 1 person, and then 2 players are randomly selected and eliminated from their tribe.
Commoners - Has no ability. If receives a plurality vote, self and Sacrifice are eliminated from their tribe.

Each person has 2 trades, which they can do at any time. You will be told what card you now have, and the person you traded with will be told what card they now have, and a public announcement will be made that a trade has been made as well as the time it was made, and no information will be revealed otherwise (unless the Keymaster card was involved, in which case the Sage will be updated on the identity of the Keymaster, or the Sage card, in which the new Sage will be informed of the Keymaster’s identity).

At the end of Phase 1, your cards will be locked in for the Main Game.

Phase 2 - MAIN GAME pt1

There will be two phases of voting in the main game!
Your cards have been locked in, and the Sage has once again been informed the identity of the Keymaster, and your voting machines are ready.

You will only be allowed to communicate in tribal chat. No exceptions.

You will now vote.

The first phase of votes essentially designates who is eligible to be voted out in the second phase and thus removed from their tribes.

If between Vizh Andy Foolish and Chad and Ryo : Vizh receives 3 votes and Andy receives 2— Vizh and Andy will be the only ones eligible to be voted in the second phase (which then determines who is eliminated from their tribe).

The question you may be asking is: if the first round of votes just sends you to a revote between those people, **WHATS** the point?

Well having 2 separate phases allows people to be more flexible with role claims and bluffs since they can’t be voted out as long as they don’t receive votes in phase one.

If you all aim for a unanimous vote that's fine but I encourage you to vote who you feel like in Phase 2 guilt free since only when they are voted in Phase 3 are there real stakes.

Remember, the Sage knows who the Keymaster is, and cannot explicitly lie about who they are.

Phase 3 - MAIN GAME pt2

Now you vote, and 2 people will be eliminated from each tribe, based on the rules above.

You can self vote and there will be no punishment.

If there is a tie, and the Sacrifice is in the tie, then the Sacrifice is counted as receiving the plurality vote. If the Keymaster is in the tie, then the Keymaster is safe. If for some reason neither are in the tie, then the Sacrifice is eliminated and their votes are removed, so the person that then has the most votes is eliminated. If there is no change, then from within the people in the tie, one is randomly eliminated.

**F30: Tanner Hums the Hits
For your next totally original challenge, you will be listening to, not quite songs exactly, but something.​

Tanner has hummed out 20 songs, and your tribe has to identify all of them. Submit your answers in tribe chat. The 2 tribes with the most correct guesses will win Tribal Immunity.

The tiebreaker will be based on an album art for your tribe.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qQGOYp24Dr0liAXI2vzMmv6DKH4TBpZ-?usp=sharing

Only 7 members of each tribe can participate, so Milf Manor and Stupid Hoes will both need 1 sitout.

With the overthrowing of some of the seas' most dangerous names, you didn't think it would go unnoticed did you? The Royal Navy has been targeting members of your crew for just this: a chance to slim down your crews, in hopes you will make a mistake. Your old crewmates may have been outcasted, but that doesn't mean they don't still seek the treasure. Nor does it mean they won't give up their chance at redemption without a fight.​

The Royal Navy is not a tribe. They are still in the game (but will not be counted in the vc at the top/challenge posts for the sake of continuity). Players can't dm them and vice versa. If a change occurs, it will be announced.

**F28: E X A L T parrotordle F28 6/6**
For this cycle you will be doing a PARROT! Again!​

Rather than voting for players to be eliminated this cycle, you will vote for a player to be Exalted. Whoever receives the majority of votes will be the Exalted and will single-handedly with their vote, decide who goes home (who we will be calling the Condemned).

This is not a two step process. Everyone locks their votes at the same time. The Exalted player is determined, and their vote is read for the Condemned, all at once.

In the event of a tie, the Exalted’s votes become locked, and players will revote for which Exalted they want to have their vote Condemn. In the event of a second tie, the Condemned will become safe, and the remaining vulnerable players will draw rocks.

There will be no Individual Immunity, but there will be a challenge for True Divinity. When you have True Divinity, you are eligible to be Exalted, but not eligible to be Condemned.

For this True Divinity challenge, you will be solving 2 Wordles, and reverse-engineering 1. Solving will function the same way essentially, but will be done through a website from which you will submit a screenshot. Reverse engineering will also be simple. You will receive a 5 attempt solved Wordle, but the only word there is the solution. You will have the colors for the attempts however. You will be submitting words that, according to the rules of Wordle and the Wordle dictionary, would be valid words that could fit in that line. Below is an example of a reverse Wordle.

Each incorrect word put down for the Reverse Wordle is considered 1 mistake. Spelling matters, if it is spelled wrong and that results in it either not showing up in the Wordle dictionary or not fitting the attempted colors, it will be considered a mistake.

Scoring will be based first on the number of mistakes in the Reverse Wordle (fewest mistakes wins), with a tiebreaker of solving the normal Wordles (fewest guessed words wins), with the ultimate tiebreaker being time.

The Royal Navy will be competing in this challenge, for individual reward.

To start the challenge, start a stopwatch, and use a.wordle-funsies in your confessional.

Deadline is 7PM EST 2/2

​

Your elected captians succeeded, at least some of them did.

Your hunt has led you to islands where you believe clues about the treasure have been hidden. You don't know why there specifically, but that doesn't matter! You're closer than anyone else has been before.

So far, you've been proving yourself. That's what this whole hunt is about. but when it really counts, when it really matters, you still wonder if you have what it takes to cut through the island and find what is owed to you?

Eventually, your crew finds quite a few doubloons, and under pressure already, decide to split them evenly. You have a feeling these doubloons will lead you to where you need to be; to where the treaure is. They have value, and are up to you to use properly.

Introducing… Doubloons.

They’re just Fire Tokens but they’re themed. Everybody will start with 1 Doubloon, and must transfer them upon being voted out.

The menu with advantages that you may buy can be found in the command a.menu, it can be used anywhere. Prices may change throughout the season, so don't stay reliant on opening it now and thinking the prices won't change! If you want to buy something, you can ping production in your confessional!

Doubloons CAN be transferred between castaways, if you wish to give one to a fellow castaway, ping production in your confessional to do the transfer!

**F26: Haven Hunters**
For this challenge, you will be doing something debatably on theme.​

For those of you keeping up with the lore, you know that you’re currently on some of the most well known Pirate-infested islands of all time.

For this challenge, you will be creating and designing Discord servers themed around this. However you want to interpret the theme or want to decorate the server is up to your tribe. Your challenge chats will be opened to plan and strategize accordingly. Afterwards, at least 3 people will come around and judge your server based on creativity, functionality, attractiveness, or any other factors. Feel free to get creative as you want with it.

Each tribe can get a total of 30 points (10 from each reviewer).

We will likely take around maybe one to two half hours to grade the servers

You must have a server link posted in your challenge chat and say that it’s your final by deadline. Otherwise we will score you 0.

Deadline is **7PM EST 2/8**

Start the stopwatch, and will then input the command a.ladder, and once you submit your final sheet, you can stop the stopwatch.

You must have the correct words. If they are not what is in the key, it will not count. I don’t care if you solved it with fewer words or found a word that fits there, if it is not what is on the key, it will not count, and you will lose a point.

Scoring will be based on the number of correct words( out of X ), with time as a tiebreaker.

Highest score on each tribe will win individual immunity, and the two highest scores will win reward.

Deadline is **7PM EST 2/10**

Everyone on your tribe will rank all of the players on your tribe (except themselves), privately in their confessionals in 24 hours. After everyone has submitted a list, we will find the 2 highest ranked players through averaging their placements. If there is a tie, then it will be resolved by the number of #1s and then #2s and then #3s if applicable. The final rankings of your tribe will be publicized, but not the details of the rankings.

The 2 highest ranked players will become Influencers, and be isolated with each other. They cannot communicate with the other members of their tribe and vice versa. They will have 24 hours in an in-server channel created for them to decide who to eliminate. If they cannot agree, then one influencer will randomly be eliminated.

You must use a hashtag at the end of every message you send in this game for the next 48 hours or I will personally come to your home, and cutlass you.

**F19: Speed Puzzling**
I am so original aren't I?​

In this challenge, you and your tribe will be solving 4 40-piece jigsaw puzzles together on https://digitalpuzzle.ravensburger.us/ . Solving in multiplayer mode with other tribemates is allowed and encouraged.

Please use your discord or Smogon usernames. When setting up games, please make sure to select 40-piece. You can do as many attempts as you want.

For each individual puzzle, the tribe with the best time on that puzzle gains 10 points. The tribe with the second best time gains 5, the tribe with the third best gains 3.

Royal Navy will also be competing in this challenge, but can have only a total of 6 participants across all puzzles (so they will need to select 4 sitouts) (Ile a Vache will also need 1 sitout before they begin)

If the Royal Navy's final score beats:
All 3 tribes, then all 3 tribes will attend tribal.
2 tribes, both tribes will attend tribal.
1 tribe, that 1 tribe will attend tribal.
0 tribes, the 1 lowest scoring tribe will attend tribal.

**F20: Swap**
Congratulations, you have survived through the fourth phase of the game!​

Having made it to the islands, your hunt has finally returned something other than a dead end. Unfortunately it took longer than you expected. With nobody willing to stay behind and take care of the ships for fear of missing out on their share of the treasure, they have succummed to decay, and need significant repairs.

Repairs that you know you cannot do with the sparse amount of money and resources you have now. You need money, and cannot just yet access the only source you know of just yet. There is hunting to be done.

With a need for money to continue, you look to two of the largest colonial forces of the time, the Spanish and British Empires. But not everyone is satisfied. Some argue that one will be easier to control, some that they can extract more money from the other, and quickly, you take up arms.

After all, you're pirates. How many ways to debate really are there?

**F19: F20: Dueling but Smogon please give me money I am begging you I need to buy a plane ticket**
For this challenge, so we can secure our funding from Smogon, we are forcing you to use PS!​

You will be competing in Best of 3 matches in the following tiers, and will earn 1 point for winning each of the duels (not matches). Each format will have no restrictions on team make up.

Gen 1 OU
Gen 2 OU
Gen 3 OU
Gen 4 OU
Gen 5 OU
Gen 6 OU
Gen 7 OU
Gen 8 OU
Gen 9 OU

Your tribe will submit a list of players for each of the tiers, and once you do, your matchups will be posted and the arena channel will be open so that you can schedule with your opponent.

If you do not make an attempt to schedule in 18 hours, you will forfeit the duel. If both players forfeit the duel, then neither will win the point.

You can change teams in between matches.

We are willing to extend if necessary, but obviously would prefer not to. No using the arena for any sort of cross tribe communication, only for scheduling and trash talk. I also recommend posting room links so people can watch you play.

Once you finish a match, post the replay in the arena chat or in your confessional so I can compile them.

The tribe with the most points will win immunity.

You will use the Thunderdome channel.

Deadline is **7PM EST 2/19**

**F19: Fusion Fiasco**
You have 51 Pokemon fusions to identify.​

Each fusion is made of exactly two Pokemon. A fusion may take traits of its ingredient Pokemon such as color, body parts, face, other distinguishing features and create a new Pokemon. Your goal is to identify the combination of ingredient Pokemon that went into each fusion. For each fusion Pokemon whose ingredient combination is correct, you will receive one point. Whichever tribe has more points will win immunity.

All Pokemon are from generations 1 through 8. No shinies.
You are allowed to use external websites such as Pokedexes. You may not ask anyone else outside of your tribe for help.
All sprites are from the base Pokemon formes as they could be without generational gimmicks such as megas, gigantamax.
To get credit, the order of the combination will not matter. If your guess is Charmander + Torchic, it will be treated the same as Torchic + Charmander.
If you are submitting a Pokemon with different formes, answer with the base form. If you think Sawsbuck-Winter is one of the Pokemon, answer Sawsbuck.
Spelling matters. Get the Pokemon’s name correct.

You will have until 7 PM EST tomorrow to submit a list for these 51. If we tie, we will have a live tiebreak version of this challenge where first representative to score will get a tiebreak point.

**F18: Big Brother**
Welcome to PARROT.
In yet another totally original twist, both tribes will be running their own week of (slightly modified) Big Brother.​

This cycle will run for about 72 hours.
Here's how we're going to split things:
7PM EST 2/22 - 7PM EST 2/23: Joint HOH + POV Competitions
7PM EST 2/23 - 7PM EST 2/24: Initial Nominations
7PM EST 2/24 - 7PM EST 2/25: Veto Winner announced + POV Usage
7PM EST 2/25 - 7PM EST 2/26: Voting
Any of these phases can be ended before the deadline should the relevant people (HOH, POV holder, voters) be willing to lock their actions early.

Here's how it works:
Phase 1: At first, everyone on each tribe will compete in the HOH and POV Competitions, which will be simple flash games. The top scoring player in the HOH competition will be declared the HOH.

Phase 2: They will then nominate two other people from their tribe for eviction. After this, the highest score in the POV competition will win the POV.

Phase 3: The POV holder can remove one of the two nominees, if they would like to. Should this be done, the HOH will nominate another tribemate (who is neither the nominee who had the POV used on them nor the POV holder themselves) for eviction.

Phase 4: Then, the rest of the tribe - aside from the HOH or the two nominees - will vote to evict one of the two players who have been nominated for eviction. Should there be a tie, the HOH will cast the deciding vote to evict.

Your HOH Competition will be Tetris: https://tetris.com/play-tetris

Your POV Competition will be the Dino Run: https://trex-runner.com/

Please remember - the first deadline applies to BOTH of these challenges.
Submit your scores in your confessionals. Highest score will win HOH & POV, respectively.

**F16: How Puzzling?**
For today's challenge, we are giving you puzzles!​

There are 7 types of puzzles for you all to try, each person will be assigned to 1, with the exception of any sitouts.

Puzzles are as follows:
1. Jigsaw
:yeahok:

2. Slide
:yeahok:

3. Tower of Hanoi
The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to the last rod, obeying the following rules:
Only one disk may be moved at a time.
Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack or on an empty rod.
No disk may be placed on top of a disk that is smaller than it.

4. Skyscrapers
The objective is to place skyscrapers in all cells on the grid according to the rules:
- The height of the skyscrapers is from 1 to the size of the grid i.e. 1 to 4 for a 4x4 puzzle.
- You cannot have two skyscrapers with the same height on the same row or column.
- The numbers on the sides of the grid indicate how many skyscrapers would you see if you look in the direction of the arrow.
Place numbers in each cell to indicate the height of the skyscrapers.

5. Pipes
The goal is to rotate the tiles on the grid so all pipes are connected in a single group.
Closed loops are not allowed.

6. Light Up
Light Up is played on a rectangular grid. The grid has both black cells and white cells in it. The objective is to place light bulbs on the grid so that every white square is lit. A cell is illuminated by a light bulb if they're in the same row or column, and if there are no black cells between them. Also, no light bulb may illuminate another light bulb.
Some of the black cells have numbers in them. A number in a black cell indicates how many light bulbs share an edge with that cell.

7. Hashi
Hashi is played on a rectangular grid with no standard size. Some cells start out with numbers from 1 to 8 inclusive; these are the islands. The rest of the cells are empty. The goal is to connect all of the islands into a single connected group by drawing a series of bridges between the islands. The bridges must follow certain criteria: They must begin and end at distinct islands, traveling a straight line in between; They must not cross any other bridges or islands; They may only run orthogonally; At most two bridges connect a pair of islands; and The number of bridges connected to each island must match the number on that island.

Feel free to ask any questions. Once everybody is assigned to a puzzle, then I will give your whole tribe the list of commands. You will use the stopwatch, and then the puzzle command. If you do not, you will, with no exception, be disqualified from the challenge.

Deadline is **7PM EST 2/26**

**F15: $tocks by $urvivor**
Yep this is uh. The whole challenge.​

Previously in the season, you all submitted stock portfolios using the same base amount of $1000.

Now your purchases will determine the winner. Transfer fees will not be taken into account. All of the stock prices were checked at the public stock trade close today. The tribe with the greatest average will win tribal immunity.

One tribe ended up with $939.35
The other with $977.29

Monarquía Hispánica wins immunity, sending the British Empire to tribal.

**Merge**
Congratulations, you have made it to the Merge!​

20, 02, 23, 72, 47, 24

Having swindled the British Empire out of enough for a small fleet, there really is only one goal left, and nobody can stand in your way. You can see it when you gaze out over the water. You have come from humble beginnings, and have become some of the most respected pirates around. The crew is in high spirits, having a common goal. But after a drunken night of reverie, you discover that for some strange reason, not everybody seems to be willing to declare you the captain.

That simply will not do. You deserve the larger share of the treasure associated with being the captain, you deserve the glory, you deserve the fame. You deserve for royalty to whisper your name in hushed tones, for holy men to curse your existence. You deserve to be remembered.

When the time comes, they will finally recognize you as the legendary Captain, Master of the Oceans, Scourge of the Seas.

Welcome, to the final stretch. Welcome, to the Merge.
