The challenge:

Fill a lot with a bunch of build stuff, and upload it to the gallery. Take the “inventories” that others have uploaded and use them in your own builds. The idea behind this challenge is as if a household is moving and has most of their old items and they need to create a new cohesive decor with what they have, in a different home. 

Rules:

Every single item must be used at least once. If an item, for example a chair, is placed twice, then it must be used at least two times.

No changing the color swatches of the items.

If flooring and paint/wallpaper is included, then you must have at least one tile/section of wall with that material and it must be visible.

No using move objects to hide items that you don't like, every item must be visible. This also extends to having a throwaway room for the stuff you don't want to use, (unless it's a obvious storage room that makes sense).

You may add other objects if you would like, as long as everything already on the lot is used.

Debug is allowed.

Cheats are totally okay (not to be confused with cheating).

No cc if you are making the inventory. CC is fine if you are doing the build portion of this challenge.

If you download an inventory and you don't have one of the packs, that's okay. Just keep playing as if those items weren't there to begin with. Unless you want to make it more challenging and replace them with the closest matching items from the packs you do have.

If you are making the inventory, you may include whatever you would like, (pools, paint, wallpaper, flooring, lights etc). The more items you include, the more difficult this will be. As long as the basic structure of the build isn't included. Personally I plan on sticking to stuff that a family would typically take with them when they move but that doesn't mean you have to. It's completely up to you.

Feel free to stick to a theme or go crazy and add absolutely whatever you would like. Also feel free to change it up with what packs you use.

Make it harder:

Only use what's included. Only adding the necessary things for the bathroom and kitchen (toilet, sink, shower, stove, fridge, counter, if not already included.)

Use the build stuff in a house that doesn't fit the decor. Ex: modern stuff in a ranch style house or country stuff in a large fancy Victorian home.

Find a build shell off the gallery and combine both challenges if you want this to be really difficult.

Challenge a friend. Make crazy inventories for each other (maybe try to keep a similar number of items to keep it fair) and swap. Or challenge your friend to do the same inventory in the same shell. You can make this as easy or difficult as you want.

Spoons 2015

Terms, Conditions, and Administrative Matters

Above all things, this is a Game. The point is to have a good time!

Join the Game

To join the game, you must first sign up on the Google form. You should receive a confirmation email; let us, the Spoons Overlords, know if there are any problems.

Once you click on the Google form link, submit the following information:

·   Full name and uniqname.

·   Agreement to the terms and conditions, and your conformity therewith.

Once this step is completed, all you have to do is wait until the game commences and you’ll receive your spoon/target information via your penda.

Spoons shall begin at NOON EST on Thursday, March 19th, 2015 CE.

I. ASSASSINATION

In this game, you (hereinafter, “Player”) are expected to eliminate your current target as soon as possible. For an attempt to be successful, the following conditions must be satisfied:

1. The spoon must hit the target, or any piece of the target's clothing. If you are wearing a backpack and get hit on the backpack (or some other wearable accessory), it counts. You cannot wear "shields" to block yourself from getting hit.

2. The Player must use a standard-issue spoon, which will be distributed to you before the start of the game.

3. The Target cannot be eliminated if s/he has her/his spoon IN HAND. This, however, will change after the first week of the game, when immunity will erode. You will be notified of the conditions of eroded immunity via the listserv and the website at least 12 hours before said erosion begins.

4. The target must have BOTH feet outside of the following SAFE ZONES:

o Monroe St.

o Private spaces such as bathrooms or showers.

o Bar Nights are fair game! However, you are responsible for malicious destruction of property, assault charges from Real World Persons, and other damages that flow from your actions.

o The Target’s bedroom, from the hours of 11 PM to 9 AM. Please stay healthy and get sleep.

5.  It is prohibited to use physical force to remove a Spoons player from a safe zone.

6.  It is prohibited to take a player's spoon when the player is touching it.

7. The elimination must not occur during, or within 5 minutes before or after, a free lunch, lunch talk, class, seminar, or meeting with a professor, administrator, dean, adjunct, or employee of the University, a tour, or any campus-wide event. This is to respect all student orgs; non-compliance will result in immediate removal from the game.

8. The Spoons Overlords reserve the right to remove a player for reasons such as, but not limited to, disrespect to a professor (including disrupting class), disrespect to fellow classmates—including the Spoons Overlords, damage to University of Michigan property, and/or injuring another student/Real World Person.

When you eliminate someone, you must go to the Google Form and report the elimination. Both the assassin and target must verify the kill. Disputes will be handled by the Spoons Overlords.

Report Elimination of Target

If you eliminate your target – You fill out the Google form and list your target as dead. To do this, click the link provided in your email. Once you make an elimination, you assume the target of the person you eliminated.

       Example. You have Person A as your target; Person A has Person B as his/her target. Upon eliminating A, your target becomes Person B.

If you are eliminated – If your assassin kills you, the assassin must log in to the Google Form and report the kill. You must give your spoon to the person who eliminated you. Your name will be listed on the Spoons 2015 website.

If you were reported as eliminated, but dispute the claim – If you've been marked as eliminated, and you claim you weren't, email the Spoons Overlords.

You will not be notified who is trying to eliminate you! Trust no one.

II. SPECIAL DAYS

For the first week of Spoons, everyone has immunity while holding their spoon.

Thereafter, the Spoons Overlords will place items around the law school or name specific instructions for you to obtain immunity.

         For example, a riddle will be posted to the Spoons Website, and whoever finds the object must notify the Overlords so that their immunity may be verified and posted to the website. Once immunity has been granted, the Player cannot be eliminated for 24 Hours.

         For example2, all Players will receive a notification that wearing purple that day = immunity. Or that full immunity has been granted from 2 – 3 PM. These immunities will be posted at least 12 hours before they are in effect.

        The SFF Auction is Off-Limits.

III. TERMINATION

If you fail to eliminate your target within the first 10 school days of the game, you will be terminated.

You must be at school during reasonable hours in order to play. You may not, for example, only come to school from 8 am to 8:15 am once and say that you’ve been “at school” for the week. If you have a valid reason for being absent for days at a time, email the Spoons Overlords and we will do our best to accommodate you.

IV. ENDGAME

When only two assassins remain in the game, they will be assigned each other as targets.  Measures shall be taken if there is no winner within 72 hours.

THERE SHALL BE NO TIES.

V. MISCELLANEOUS

·   Lying about your participation in the game is grounds for automatic elimination.

·   “Disrespect of classmates” includes, but is not limited to, posting offensive, vulgar, or malicious writing, photos, or videos of anyone enrolled at Michigan Law, including non-participants. Such conduct includes, but is not limited to, cursing out the Overlords or classmates, malicious put-downs of classmates, or the use of racial/ethnic/sexist/homophobic slurs in any posting.
