[ORP] THE BRAVIA FALL FESTIVAL APPLE BOBBING CHALLENGE

Post by Katie »

APPLE BOBBING CONTEST and it is free to join.
WHEN? Starts at next daybreak aka large reset
Ends immediately prior to the 11th daybreak aka large reset.
This means this contest lasts for 10 full days beginning early morning of October 02nd through the end of the night of October 12th. The winners will be announced the following weekend. Late arrivals are welcomed to play too.
WHERE? Right here!

RULES ON HOW TO PLAY as follows....


Please use this - https://www.random.org/dice/?num=3

Post 3 numbers that you roll along with the time stamp- 3 attempts at biting on a juicy, sweet apple.

Each day the results will be posted- You can bite an apple, get a mouth full of water, or bite into a rotten, mushy one which doesn't count. Biting at water doesn't count either!

Points will be carried over each day for 10 days and the person with the most points wins!

You can only apple bob once every 24 hours.

Each day the rolls will give different results, just to keep you on your toes :twisted:


For example on day one the rolls might be:

1-2 Missed = 0
3-4 Bite - Mushy, Rotten = 0
5-6 Bite - Good n Juicy = 1

(But all game players are completely unaware of the above dice roll as the key for The Apple Bobbing Victors of day 01. I will keep this dice roll on a piece of parchment to share with all so everyone will be able to figure out who the winners were the day before, ok? I will roll dice before each day too and shall share the dice roll with Viceroy Mateo. However, if you lose today, it is only one day and this game shall last for 10 days.)

but on day 2 the dice might be:

1-2 Bite - Mushy, Rotten = 0
3-4 Bite - Good n Juicy = 1
5-6 Missed = 0
I will change the code around to keep you in the dark. :lol:

((You will not know how you performed until the next day, but RP as though you are actually Bobbing and missing some, biting a Juicy Sweet one now and then or taking a Mushy- Rotten bite once in a while too. Have some fun with creative writing.))

In the case of a tie the game organizer will roll dice for the players to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners as necessary or may seek counsel with the Fall Festival Judges who are not playing this game. If either of the festival planners chooses to participate, they forfeit in judging in any way. We will share what the 0st1, 02nd and 03rd prize winners shall receive when the winners are announced afterwards.

Katie yells.....

Hey there, Marleen, welcome to the Apple Bobbing Challenge. You are early playing, but you have shown everyone how to play. So after next large reset, role the dice again, copy paste it along with the time stamp and enter it here precisely as you just did. So let's not count this role of the dice you just entered. The game begins right after next reset and each day, apple bobbers will bob for 10 days in a row.

Lastly, if anyone has an emergency and has to skip a day, let me know. I will do my best to get you a roll immediately following the close of the game. Thanks.

Standing water stamped a furrow to Foxeon's brow. Seeming like a mooncalf, he stared at the slightly shifting water with apples floating in it for almost two minutes before he dipped his head into the bucket to attempt to catch an apple.

Taralynn flutters around the festival. She claps in excitement seeing the bobbing apples and lines up to take a try. She takes a few tries and gets water in her face as she works to get the momentum correct as she flutters.

After her three tries she laughs as she wipes all the water off her face and realizes that not all is water but some a bit of mushy apple is up in her hair.

Elisa heard about a festival being held in Bravia. She was very curious to check it out, especially since there had been an invitation that people from Fenia were allowed to come as well. Luckily Anno had agreed to accompany her as it wasn't right next to the door. she had only just seen the first game and it already looked quite fun. As she went to try it herself it quickly turned out not to be as easy as it seemed. she had sat herself down next to the tub and at her first try she only managed to dunk her face in the water as the apple had skilfully evaded her bite. She didn't give up however and continued her tries.

Mallory wandered along the Fall Festival after listening to the gentleman speak about how this would go. Bobbing for apples looked fun, though she wondered if her fang would get in the way. She waited until it was her turn, and then moved to bob. One thing this taught her for certain was that she did NOT like her head being under water. Perhaps it tied back to how things had gone when they traveled to Fenia and she fell off the boat. The first bite she got was mushy and she gagged a little and quickly spit it onto the ground. She rinsed her mouth with the flask tucker into her bodice. She tried again, her nose wrinkling a bit until she felt a burst of sweet when she bit down. She pulled that apple with a smile and then tried again but came up with nothing but a mouthful of water. She spat that on the ground and turned back to enjoying the one apple she got. She glanced around, wondering who she might see.

Katie smiled enjoying the fun of watching everyone give a try at biting into a juicy apple.

Yesterday's Secret Dice Roll was as follows:
3 or 4 roll of the dice= Mushy Rotten Apples (valued @ 0)
1 or 2 = Juicy, Sweet Apples (valued @ 1)
5 or 6 = Water Chomper (valued @ 0)

"I forgot to give the above dice key to Mateo. But I am keeping these rolls on my parchment paper so as not to forget them. So you can see how you did yesterday. If you did not play yesterday, that is ok. At the end, I will give you a free extra bob for Apples since we gave such short notice to come play."


Katie smiled at each of the contestants as she folded the parchment paper and stuffed it down her blouse between her breast and corset for safe keeping.

It was really great to see Elisa doing very well and she wondered why the lovely Mallory had not brought Thartis along?

Since she did not really know Foxeon nor Tarlynn at all, she gave them both a Social Point for bravely stepping up to play in Bravia's Fall Festival Apple Bobbing Challenge.

Freya had been watching the others throughly enjoying the game and though that perhaps she would also enjoy it, and now it was her turn to try to get a bite of a juicy apple. She quickly braided her hair to get it out of the way and walked up to the apples, for a few seconds she watched them floating in the water and then gave it a go!

Tasting that rotten apple was a surprise, it shouldn't have been as she had been warned but still, yuck! Freya spat out the piece of rotten apple and hurried away to find a glass of mead to rinse away that foul taste.

Communing with the water had paid off for he managed to catch three apples, though the last one was distasteful. Much as the first time, his second attempt was deliberate thoughtfulness before he leaned down to fish.
