The Challenge with Words

Competition ID #: 3502
Status: Finished
Submitted by: COL Marenta Jean
Competition dates: 2023-01-01 - 2023-04-30
Subgroup: TIE Corps
Units involved: TIE Corps
Description:

After a particularly bad batch of Chalquilla was distributed by Inferno Squadron, medical was inundated with severely hungover and somewhat illiterate members of the fleet. The tanks had been infected with a spore that ate sugar and spit out alcohol, like yeast. But, this spore also had a side effect, it secreted a neuro inhibitor that ate away people’s knowledge. To help “stimulate” some learning, Inferno, along with the medical crew, have started sending out word puzzles to help the members of the fleet regain some of their lost knowledge.

At the beginning of every month, VA Marenta will generate a word search and post the link along with announcing the previous month’s entrants. Each month, the puzzle will be related to something specific like planets, people, craft, manufacturers, wars, a movie/book/series, etc. Each puzzle will be 50 words and the site will keep track of all submissions.

This competition will utilize the time test on the website in lieu of using the first-entrant on the host site.

Competition awards:
  • IS-GR for fastest correct submission each month
  • IS-SR for second and third fastest correct submissions each month
  • IS-BR for fourth, fifth, and sixth fastest correct submissions each month
  • IS-CR for seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth fastest correct submissions each month
  • 3 ORAs for submitting any two correct submissions in a season

Competition runtime starts on the first day at 00:00:01 UTC, and ends on the last day at 23:59:59 UTC.
