Produce the Points
[/b]The Object of the Challenge
(Get the most points.)
By now, each of you have selected 6 items of produce from a mix of fruits and veggies. And, each of you should have received a post in your DR containing the fruits and veggies that you selected.
If you haven't guessed, the point of this challenge is to be the houseguest with the most points in the end if you wish to win the HoH. And, as you might have noticed, some fruits and veggies come with positive points, and others come with negative points. As well, there are some that have no points attached to them at all, and instead, have words only. Finally, some of the items of produce have both a point value (negative or positive) as well as an additional attachment which is either a negative or positive chance amount or a mystery question mark.
At the end of the challenge, along with the points you've collected, you could also end up with a chance value or an additional outcome via one of the words or question marks. These outcomes will be announced at the results portion of the challenge, so choose wisely. Also, if you finish the challenge with a negative chance value, that value WILL be subtracted from the current chances you have on the memory wall. However, you can never go below 0 on the memory wall.
The Rules of the Challenge
Now that we have covered the basis of the challenge, here are the rules...
1. You may never have more than 1 of the same item of produce. If you manage to obtain an item that you already have, one of them will simply be thrown out.
2. You may choose to lock in any amount of produce items that you want. By locking in an item, that means that it is yours to keep, and you will get all points, chances, and outcomes associated with that item. You can lock in 0-6 items. It is your choice how many you want to keep.
3. You may give 1 (one) item of produce to any player that you'd like (in your faction or not, it doesn't matter). Remember though, if you give them an item that they already have, it will simply be thrown out. An item that is given to you will automatically be locked in for you. You have no choice.
4. Once all items have been locked in, the remaining items that were not locked or given away will be thrown out.
5. Once the extra items have been thrown out, I will come to each of your DRs and replenish your produce count until you have 6 items again. This will be a RANDOM replenishment, which means you could end up with any of the produce items back in your DR. However, if you already have 6 or more items locked in, then you will get no new items during the replenishment part of this challenge. If you DO NOT want to get any items during the random replenishment stage, you should lock in your original 6 items.
6. Once replenishment has finished, the items in your DR will ALL be locked in to produce your final point total and other outcomes.
7. You may discuss your produce items and plans with other players.
What You Need to Do
If you have any questions, please post them here. Otherwise, I need to know 2 things from each of you.
1. Which items will you be locking in (which items do you want to keep no matter what)?
2. Will you choose to give 1 item away, and, if so, to whom?
Both of the above decisions should be made in the same thread where I posted your produce items no later than 11am EST Sunday.
