Update: effects CANNOT be used last minute, and the challenge will continue until the other tribe has a chance to respond and possibly reconfigure.

So this probably only subtracts 5 points from their score unless we get really lucky.

Crocodile sprinkles his specially made sand-based grilled spice mix in the soup, on the steaks and in the dessert mix for an extra spicy sand flavor

Crocodile cackles maniacally behind his hands

The best time to use the agent would be once they have all their ingredients, probably. Should we use it on a known value if they end up taking one?

That's good to know, Kabu.

I have a feeling they're going to steal one of our items...

Well that's lame. Anyway, has anyone kept track of which and how many ingredients the other tribe has claimed so far? It's been quiet on the claiming front for a bit, so it might be handy to have a list on hand for things like this.

One thing we must keep in mind is thatw e need to use all the ingredients, so focusing on dishes with only 2 ingredients might end up screwing out math.

Ideally, it should be 3 for each dish, bt maybe we can get some low value ones.


Ours:
St Briss Biscuits, Savory, 1
Whiskey Peak Melons, Tart, 5
Angel Puff Creams, Tart, 2
Robelle Roses, Salt, 4
Bison Fillets, Savory, 4

Others:
Snow Spinach, filling, 3
Alubarna Duck Steaks, filling, 2

Blegh, stealing could definitely be a thing, but it's also a double-edged sword. Swapping might be more dangerous.

Personally I think not having last minute effects is a good thing, since we have five ingredients but only one effect so far. Kabu is a nervous beetle.

[ ] A Strength Value of 1 to 5 in each Flavor Profile will result in a Taste Value of 1 to 5, respectively.
[ ] Combining Ingredients of the same Flavor Profile will add together their Strength Value.
[ ] If a dish's Flavor Profile has a Strength Value of 6 or more, it becomes TOO salty, filling, bitter, etc. and the Taste Value declines by one for every Strength Value above 5.
[ ] Combining two Flavor Profiles will increase the Taste Value by a factor of the opposite Flavor Profile. For instance, having a Taste Value of 5 in Salty and 4 in Sweet will result in an overall Taste Value of 20.
[ ] Combining three Flavor Profiles will ruin the dish and grant you a Taste Value of zero.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we add Jango's Savory 1 to, let's say a combination of Filling 2 and 3, we get a dish with a perfect value of 5 right?

Looks like The Other Guys have 8 of their 9 ingredients so far.

Yes, but a perfect value with all of this math in place is 25.

Oh ok.
So we must have something like, savory 5 and Salty 5 in order to obtain 25, right? That's the highest point?

Yep, that's right. So a theoretical perfect score would be 75, where we're looking to pair three 5s and three 5 pairs to make it.

Is anyone else uncomfortable that the Marines have almost all their items first while we're only halfway there? We're basically giving them first dibs.

I'll be on a short break in around 30 minutes hopefully so I'll try to get a better reading of the challenge. Do you guys want me to quickly claim something now and if so, what?

Pagaya needs to claim too.

Stelly, maybe try the Big Horn Special or the Sakura Ale? Anything that might have a "brand" name.
