Welcome to your next challenge. Hang For Your Life.
In this challenge, the goal is simple, hang onto your stripper pole as long as possible.
This challenge will be done via Tengaged mail.
To begin the challenge, you will mail me the phrase:
STARTS CHALLENGE
Once you send me that mail the challenge will last up to 24 hours.
Your goal is then to mail me a phrase holding on to the stripper pole every 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes from your previous one.
The phrase you mail will be:
HANGS ONTO STRIPPER POLE
So to be clear, you will mail the first mail to start the challenge. Then exactly between 1 hour and 1 hour, 5 minutes after that mail you will mail me the phrase to hang from the stripper pole. If you are successful that counts as 1 hour hanging (1 point). You will then wait another 1 hour to 1 hour, 5 minutes from the most recent mail to mail me again. The timing will be based on the Tengaged timestamp
So it will look like as an example:
STARTS CHALLENGE - mailed at 2:03:07 am
then the next phrase:
HANGS ONTO STRIPPER POLE - must be mailed between 3:03:07 am and 3:08:07 am
If the mail is in that window you are safe and earn a point. Based on the time of that mail you keep going.
If at any point you mail me the phrase outside that window, whether too early or too late you are DQ'd and your challenge run ends with whatever score you have. After 24 hours have passed from your start mail then your challenge is over.
In the event of a tie, time will become a factor, the time between the earliest possible time you can mail and when you actually mail will be recorded and the smaller time wins. So in the example above, if you mail the first hanging phrase at 3:03:10 am then your time is currently 3 seconds.
For the PLAYERS IN THE GAME: The player who scores the highest points (in less time if tied) will be safe from Elimination and will become the Paymaster. The player with the LEAST POINTS (in the most time) will be the Dead Last Loser and will automatically have their check placed in the box and be up for elimination. If multiple people tie for worst possible performance of NOT STARTING the challenge then they will ALL BE AT RISK of Elimination and will take up as many spots as necessary of the 3 at risk. If more than 3 people do not attempt the challenge then ALL are at risk. So it is better to start and DQ immediately than to not start at all but note all scores of 0 are tied since there is not tiebreaker. If not all 3 spots in the box are filled by the Dead Last Loser(s) then ALL PLAYERS EXCEPT THE PAYMASTER will participate in the Vault Vote to determine the rest of the players at risk.
For the ELIMINATED PLAYERS fighting to get back in the game: The best performer who scores the most points (in the smallest amount of time) will re-enter the game and will be SAFE from this upcoming Elimination. They CANNOT be the Paymaster even if the best overall performer but will automatically still participate in the Vault Vote but cannot be voted for.
All players have 24 hours from THIS POST to START THE CHALLENGE. If you do not START by that deadline then you DQ. If you are still playing 24 hours after this post that is fine. Once you start the challenge, you can play for a MAXIMUM of 24 hours after your start mail. Results will be posted when all challenge attempts are completed.
Good luck.
