All valid posts in bold will be taken as a submission. You may discuss the task freely, including the submissions that you wish to put forward as a final answer, before you have posted them in bold.

Part 1: For getting so far in the competition, we are giving you some presents. There are 6 presents: a red present, an orange present, a yellow present, a green present, a blue present and a purple present. You must now decide amongst yourselves, who gets which present. Of course, the faster this is done, the faster we can have some fun!

If there are any errors within the task, or any questions – just post in the thread.

I WANT THE YELLOW ONE

[FlyingJesus]

Oh ok

[Kardan]

Part 2: Now that the presents have been dished out, this is how the task will work. Each present contains a prize, some positive and some negative. Some prizes are for the individual and some prizes are for the group. You do not have to reveal the contents of your present, it’s entirely up to you.

You have each been PM’ed what your present contains, along with a number. This number represents how many times your present must be swapped with another player before the present can be opened, and the prize can be claimed. Therefore you must pass the presents between the group until this number reaches 0. Whoever gets a present when it hits 0 will claim that prize and will no longer be taking part in the task. So the remaining players must then swap their presents amongst themselves.

You can swap to any player you like, providing they haven’t opened their present, but the swap will only take place if both players agree on the swap. For example, Dave may want to swap with Sarah, but if Sarah doesn’t want to swap with Dave, nothing happens.

You may also not swap a present back to the same person immediately on the next turn. If Dave had red, and Sarah had blue, and they swapped, they would not be allowed to swap back to their original presents on their next turn. If Dave wants to get red back, or Sarah wants to get blue back, they must get a different colour present first, and then trade it for their original colour.

This task has been designed so you can win all the positive prizes and win none of the negative prizes if you play it correctly.

This task also contains the final exemption in the whole competition.

Please remember to post in bold if you wish to swap. Once a swap takes place, you will be PM’ed with the details of your new present.

[Phil]

Right I'm up for a swap lads

[Kardan]

Forgot a key bit of information:

If any presents still have swaps remaining at the end of the day, those presents will be discarded and the prizes inside them will be lost.

[Phil]

Question: Do we have a limit on how many times we can swap overall/in a row etc.?

[Kardan]

Question: Do we have a limit on how many times we can swap overall/in a row etc.?

You can swap as many times as you like, but once a present reaches 0 swaps remaining, it can't be swapped any longer. That person opens that present and wins whats inside.

You can swap as many times as you like, but as long as you don't get your previous present back within a turn.

So you have Purple, so you could go Purple, Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Orange etc.

But you couldn't go Purple, Blue, Purple - you would have to at least get another colour after blue before returning to purple.

And if you mean how many times can you swap relative to the other players, you don't need to wait for them to be online (unless you want to swap with them of course...) So if only three of you were online, you could just keep swapping presents between yourselves, that wouldn't break any rules.

[FlyingJesus]

you couldn't go Purple, Blue, Purple - you would have to at least get another colour after blue before returning to purple.

Is this still the case if the purple you gave away originally was then swapped on to another player and you would be receiving it from someone else?

Either way yeah go on then Philippe let's swapsies

[Phil]

Okay we're swapping

[Kardan]

If the purple is swapped between the whole of the group, but you yourself have only gone Purple, Yellow, Purple - then that's not allowed, since from your point of view, you have simply traded your present back.

[FlyingJesus]

[Phil]

Ready for next swap with whomever?

[Kardan]

Right, I'm off to bed. I don't think anyone else is online, so you can't swap with anyone at the moment :P I'll check back in the morning, but Charlotte will be monitoring this whilst I'm at Uni :)

[FlyingJesus]

[Kardan]

You can give out as much information as you want :)

[buttons]

so how do we go about doing this? Say I want to swap my red for toms yellow would we both have to bold saying we wish to do the swap or could I bold saying I want to swap with him n it'll be done?

[Kardan]

The swap can go ahead if you bold it, since he said he will swap with anyone. If someone says just 'I'll swap', then I'd wait for them to confirm it.

[Kardan]

You two can't swap. Rozi had the green present previously.

[FlyingJesus]

swap lol unlucky Fry

[RyRy]

I don't need luck!!!

[Phil]

After they swap, I'll swap with Rozi

[RyRy]

You two can't swap. Rozi had the green present previously.

How's that work? Me & Tom swapped, then I swapped with Phil so he can swap with Rozi. It doesn't say in your post that the same person can't have the same present twice in the whole game...

[Kardan]

Rozi has gone Green, then Red, so cannot get Green again until she's had something else.

Swapping Tom/Rozi then MyOffDays/Rozi

[Phil]

Then I'll swap with Tom (if he can)

[Kardan]

Then I'll swap with Tom (if he can)

After this FJ needs to swap with mrwoooooooo/buttons and Rozi can swap with buttons/mrwoooooooo.

Good luck with that!

[Phil]

But none of them are online so pretty much game over..

---------- Post added 19-02-2013 at 11:59 PM ----------

Since nobody got the exemption prize because Jen has it, is my prize legit null?

[Kardan]

The task is now over!

Only two players manage to open their presents.

RyRy opened his present and won -1 to his next quiz score!

MyOffDays opened his present and won an exemption steal! But because nobody won the exemption, there's nobody to steal it from!

Therefore, the group won 0/5 days of VIP for this task!

[RyRy]

43 days of VIP as of now, we got 12 days today yayayayay NOT HAPPY WITH YOU THO PHILLIP.
