You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.

Propaganda Machine posted:

This challenge has one extra twist. Over the next hour, you can win a personal reward by PMing me with a bid. Your bid will be a certain number of minutes, representing a delayed start to the challenge for your tribe. You may bid up to 30 minutes, and if there's a tie, the reward goes to the person whose PM is received first. The tribe with the highest bid will be obvious, but the individual winner will remain a secret.

If multiple people on a tribe bid, does only the highest bid delay them?

I fail to understand this assignment, sir

As I understand it you can assign yourself a time handicap (i.e. you start later and thus have less time to make money). If you're tied with another team, the one with the highest handicap wins

I'm a bit sleepy so I'd like to propose that the challenge be adjusted accordingly and turned into a sleeping challenge. I'm a viking at sleep.

Thank you in advance for this consideration (and obviously accepted adjustment) good-looking man in a goofy hat who is wearing I think a shark tooth necklace but I'm not 100% certain on that part.

People send in time amounts as individuals, and the person submitting the highest time handicap receives a reward, individually. However, their entire tribe will then have less time to compete in the challenge.

This is correct. Losing bids will not have any adverse effect.

We'll give it to you in your tribe docs in about 15 minutes. Hopefully 10 minutes is enough time for your bettor to log into saltybet and not gently caress up by bidding too early.

:f5: the thread to check for the first match you're allowed to bet on.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I will also be in Saltychat to give you GO and STOP there too.

So are we betting on specific matches picked by you? that's kind of a hassle.

Betting begins in five minutes. You have your usernames and passwords, so log in and get ready for our go (me in here, Andy in Salty).

Except for you, BOHICA. You will have a 14 minute delay. We'll let you know prior to your first match.

No. You'll get the beginning match, and may continue to bet through the hour until the last match (of which we will also inform you).

Over an infinite amount of time, because you can never bankrupt, the winning strategy is to always bet on the underdog with everything you have. Sooner or later, you'll hit a jackpot.

We don't have an infinite amount of time though, so failing that? Always never not bet DBZ.
