You have twenty-four hours, from the timestamp on this post, to hand in to the thread a karaoke performance of you singing a candy-related song. You may sing a song of your own devising. If you sing a song of your own devising, you may not perform it a capella. There are four jokers available, again, one for each team, as long as a member of the team fulfills this challenge.

If you perform so badly as to be unrecognizable, you will not earn a Joker.

So a capella basically means what, singing without a backing?

It means singing with nothing else. Like, when you sing your kid a lullaby you usually sing a capella.

Move 12



Okay, here we go.

The draw:





Ace gets caught up in the mint...



And falls to last place.



RF is summoned by Jolly to stand atop the Gumdrop Mountains...



...leaving the lower quarter of the board nearly bare.



JakeP finally gets called up...



...basically swapping positions with Bowmore.



Podima, meanwhile, catches the eastbound express to the Lollipop Forest.

So let's sum up:



The stragglers, Ace and RF.



The trailers, djw, PBS and bowmore.



Those metaphorically- or literally-lost-in-Lollipop Woods, Maigius, Absurd Revolver and Birdstrike.



A crowded day on the shores of the Ice Cream Sea, with chaoslord, Podima, Solis, Tommunist, JakeP and Anonymous.



Lastly, the leaders, oldskool, Infinitum, Divine, CPig and CirclMastr. Circl and Pig can now mathematically draw to the castle and finish on the upcoming turn.



You may now return to poo poo-talking.

Additionally, if you are disinclined to or unable to complete the previously announced challenge, you may instead submit to the thread your take on a classic piece of fine art, but with an important aspect of the painting or sculpture replaced by candy. For example, a version of Grant Wood's American Gothic with the farmer holding a licorice stick instead of a pitchfork. You may not photoshop an image of the original work. You may use physical or digital materials, but you must actively draw or sculpt your interpretation of the original. Revising the previous statement, the current challenge (audio or visual editions) are due in 24 hours from THIS post instead.

Yeah. The main reason that clause is in place is to prevent someone from making a recording of them doing something dumb like singing "This is my candy song la la la la la" for ten seconds and then handing that in.

I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

My suggestion to Allen was that any very short a capella original performance should be required to be accompanied by a Tim Tam Slam or similar regionally-appropriate grotesque candy performance, but I suspect he's not down with it

I admit, I wasn't expecting a Warhol. I'd be happier with it if it hadn't involved a Google Image Search, but as it stands, it earns a Joker.

No further "take a photo from the internet" entries, though.

And...while I'm sitting around waiting for the dryer to finish...

Move 13

wherein we start to experience more and more dickery on the part of character cards







The first to be struck down is Infinitum, previously just a turn or three away from glory.



Welcome to last place.



Bowmore, one of the players who seems to draw a character card every single turn, hops back into contention.



Like so.



oldskool, meanwhile...



...takes his place at the Peanut Brittle House.



Forget about what I said earlier...



...'cos now Solis is hangin' with Plumpy.

So here's how it stands for the moment:













You may now return to poo poo-talking.

I tried using one of the photos I'd taken for the first trip report, but they came out looking like poo poo, so GIS it was.

Let's use that :effort: reward now, then, I think -

Move 14

Jeez, well, you've all apparently lost interest.

Lollipop uses their Joker, and I have tea and oatmeal. Hooray, sustenance.





Here's how the Joker breaks down...




Absurd goes nowhere, everyone else moves normally.



Not a good day to be an Idiot...



...'cos it's time to hang with Plumpy.



Not a good day to be on Mint in general, either.



Tommunist drops back out of contention.

Meanwhile, up front...



Divine flops double-red...



CirclMastr gets a single of the same...



...and CPig is only one space behind.



Here's the view up front...



...back around the shore...



...along the path to the Peanut Brittle House...



...and nowheresville.



Not really much happening there. Let's try that again.

Move 15





CPig hears the call of Jolly and drops out of contention.



It is Jolly's will.



Anonymous gets a quick hand-up from Mr. Mint, taking pity on his elemental affinity.



Which leaves Solis in las----



---never mind. Plumpy strikes again.



Sorry, Birdstrike.



Meanwhile, Absurd finally draws his way out of his foresty predicament. And up front...?



That's the draw.



That's the move.



And that's Chocolate on the board.



And a quick review of the running order shows us that JakeP probably isn't going anywhere for a bit.







And so it goes. From here out, turns will be played and posted in batches that end when one or more players cross the finish line. Players that cross the finish line simultaneously will not be sent back, seeing as it's basically impossible for you to go five seconds without deciding to go hang with Plumpy. Only a few more hours to earn the final Joker.
