ACL: Team 3 Chat

I like the third one! Good idea! (I got the colors from the cog logo in the top left. :0) )

Cody_Ironpiper 2022-04-22 14:39:32 UTC #22

I like the top three names

Levi_Orangeburst 2022-04-22 16:50:08 UTC #23

I agree with the first two names, the second two go against my beliefs. Also, before picking colors shouldn't we make poll or sum? I don't mean to be picky, but two people liking a color shouldn't be a consensus.

Matthew_Cogfix1 2022-04-22 18:06:31 UTC #24

I am fine with whatever! Redeemed is a cool name though! And the dark grey and gold colours. But whatever the majority is fine with, I'm fine with.

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-04-22 20:34:42 UTC #25

Edit: the gray is actually blue-grey.

Nautilus_Lightblast 2022-04-23 10:07:32 UTC #27

May I humbly suggest the Undercogs for our team name?

It's one word, and a bit of a pun.

I've voted for gold as our primary color and blue-grey as our secondary, mainly because I think a blue-grey trim is more complimentary to a primaryily gold shape, rather than a gold trim for a primarily blue-grey shape.

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-04-23 12:00:44 UTC #28

Hmmm... Good point. I'll change my vote then.. that looks better.

As for the name, we have a 4-way tie. I closed the old poll to allow for @Nautilus_Lightblast's idea. Here's the new one!

Steamers
The Breakers
Redeemed
Defoginators
The Undercogs

I love that name Nautilus! I was just trying to stir the creative juices with mine and didn’t feel like they were super amazing.

Jacoby_Elderfun1 2022-04-23 14:12:43 UTC #30

Undercogs as in underdogs?

Nautilus_Lightblast 2022-04-23 14:13:05 UTC #31

Indeed, it does.

Thank you.

@Emmalee_Applematch1, @Dathmaul_Crinklegadget, @Iliara_Mustardtop, @Cody_Ironpiper, @Miss_K1, @Levi_Orangeburst, @Matthew_Cogfix1, please vote on the revised above polls before 7:00 EST to decide our official team names and colors.

Thank you.

@Jayhawk_Greencape, you should vote as well. On your own poll. Just sayin'.

Nautilus_Lightblast 2022-04-23 14:13:36 UTC #32

SFTDP

Indeed, it is.

Nautilus_Lightblast 2022-04-23 15:00:16 UTC #33

SFTTP

We should all choose which categories we will be participating in.

(I'm unclear whether we can enter multiple teammates in a single challenge or not. @Jacoby_Elderfun1?)

I shall be competing in the Word Typing, Chess, Art, Poetry, Game of Chance, Hide & Seek, Aetherlight Trivia, Bible Trivia, Misc. Trivia, All three solo speedrun categories, Moderator Quiz, Word Search, Debate, Short Story, Long Story, Split or Steal Trivia, and the WWtBaM Trivia.

(Another question @Jacoby_Elderfun1: Is there a limit to how many challenges one teammate can enter, or a total team can enter? e.g., 10 solo challenges limit, 100 total team challenges limit?)

That comes to 19/24 of the challenges.

Of course, some of the competitions I could possibly be participating in are some of my weaker points (but still strong, nonetheless)[e.g., the Art, Misc. Trivia, Poetry, and Debate categories], but I'm sure that we could cover for each other's weaknesses.

Looking forward to all of your answers (and the actual competition, of course),

-Nautilus

Jacoby_Elderfun1 2022-04-23 15:18:45 UTC #34

Yes, that will be the case in most challenges. There is no limit for the number of challenges you may enter, but some events might have a team entry capacity (potentially 3, 4, 5, etc. depending on the comp.) Those types will be announced before the event starts.

I'll be dropping one more form you all will need to fill out before releasing the partial schedule tomorrow.

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-04-23 15:21:28 UTC #35

Yeah, I forgot...

First off, what are these?

I'll compete in the following (And those two above depending on what they are,)

Chess Tourney, Poetry Comp., In-Game Chance Game, In-Game Hide and Seek, Aetherlight Trivia, Bible Trivia, Miscellaneous Trivia, Debate comp, Short story comp, Long story comp, Minecraft building challenges (If it's on bedrock/version doesn't matter).

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-04-23 15:22:03 UTC #36

I meant 'those above'. Not the two... :0|

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-04-23 15:29:17 UTC #37

SSSFTTP!!!
Does anyone have a copy of the Aetherlight alphabet?

Jacoby_Elderfun1 2022-04-23 15:49:52 UTC #38

Who Wants to be a Millionaire trivia will be conducted either in game or by other means of communication. I'll be the one giving questions and you'll keep answering until you either get all 20 right, get one wrong, or decide you are happy with where you're at. You won't know what your opponents did until the results are in. For example, you got 15 right and didn't know the answer for question 16, you could stop there and your score would be 15. If no one else scores higher, you would be the winner. However, if you would've answer question 16 and gotten it wrong, your score will be 0 and you'd be out. It's basically how good you are when the questions get hard. If you end up getting all 20 correct, you'll be the winner, unless someone else does. Then we'll go to sudden death.

Split or Steal is entirely different. (Somewhat based off the gameshow, somewhat my idea.) Everyone will be given a trivia question. Whoever gets it right will go to the "winners" round. All of those contestants will be organized into teams of 2. There will be two points on the board and the 2 contestants will be given 3 minutes to decide whether to split (each person getting 1 point) or steal (only one person getting both points). If you watched the show, both people have to choose split for it to be split. If one chooses steal, and the other doesn't, the one who chose steal receives. If both choose steal, they both get nothing. It's pretty much about reading your opponent (which will be interesting over in-game). We'll see how it goes.

The in-game speed runs will be battles between automatons. If you choose solo, you will go in and defeat the designated bots (up to 3, 5, or 10 depending on the run) and once you finish, your time stops. It'll be a lot of strategy and how well you do attacking. Same thing for trio's except now you will have two additional teammates.

Mod Quiz is basically trivia about the mods.

Word search will be a puzzle given that will be timed.

Aetherlight Challenge League: Season 1

Nautilus_Lightblast 2022-04-24 11:27:54 UTC #39

Seeing as it is twelve hours over the deadline for voting, I think I can confidently say that our team is locked in as the Undercogs, with our primary color being gold, and our secondary color being blue-grey.

@Jayhawk_Greencape, you may close the above polls.

Also, I'd like to address a slight issue: two of our members (@Emmalee_Applematch1, @Miss_K1) have gone inactive recently, and unless they make a sudden and dedicated return, I'm afraid we'll have to go on without them.

Another thing: Don't fret too much over the logo competition.

We have some incredibly talented artists on the other teams, and seeing as our two artists have gone inactive lately, I think it's probably better not to dwell on spilled milk.

@Jayhawk_Greencape already submitted an entry, and if that wins, so be it.

If it doesn't, it's fine. We tried. We'll get them next time.

We are the Undercogs.

@Dathmaul_Crinklegadget, @Iliara_Mustardtop, @Cody_Ironpiper, @Miss_K1, @Levi_Orangeburst,@Matthew_Cogfix1, @Emmalee_Applematch1, please choose which categories of the Aetherlympics you shall be participating in from the list below:

_{_{Yes, I know it's officially called the Aetherlight Challenge League: Season 1, but I call it the Aetherlympics instead of the ACL merely because the Aetherlympics rolls off the tongue better. I'm not petitioning to change the name, this is just my personal preference. Because I'm weird like that.}}

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-04-24 13:53:44 UTC #40

The polls are closed. I believe you are right about @Emmalee_Applematch1. Not sure about @Miss_K1.
