One Stamina point was removed from all members of both Tribes at Day Change.

Come on in, everybody. :)

Let's get our first look at the new Kyukou Tribe...

And our first look at the new Kyubukai Tribe...

Looks like you've both slimmed down quite nicely, but we still need to make sure you all enjoy healthy diets!

That's good, because that's what today's Challenge is all about.

The name of this Semi-Live Challenge is Baratie Lunch Rush and it is a remix of the Challenge first performed in One Piece Survivor: Drum Rockies. You can read the original challenge here: http://w11.zetaboards.com/OPSurv4_Drum_Rockies/topic/8906561/1/. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you at least familiarise yourself with the items and their original ratings.

In the original challenge, your goal was simple: take a bunch of ingredients and make a series of dishes, with the intent of earning the most points possible. The original challenge also featured a random element known as Gourmet, where certain ingredients either ruined dishes or worked to greatly improve them in combination.

In this remixed challenge, the goal is still the same. The items are still the same. But the values have changed, the Gourmet element has been replaced, and new Traits will affect the challenge.

First of all, let's look at the Ingredients and talk about their characteristics:

Baratie Lunch Rush - Ingredients List
Alubarna Duck SteaksSea King FlankMilky Dial DrinkWest Mintia BerriesCaesar Candy
Angel Puff CreamSpecial Sakura AleFuschia FlourSandora CrabmeatWhiskey Peak Melons
Syrup LicoriceCured SwordfishJaya CherriesRobelle RosesLapahn Gravy
Cocoa Weed PebblesSnow SpinachBellemere's FinestGrape RootSkypiea Pumpkins
Sea PotatoesFresh Gyasta Bison FilletsBig Horn Special: Crushed Bison HornSt. Briss BiscuitsWanze Noodles


In the original Challenge, each Ingredient was assigned a Flavor Profile (Sweet, Salty, Savory, Tart, or Filling) and a Strength Value (1-5). No two ingredients shared the same combination of Flavor Profile and Strength Value. In this version of the Challenge, these rules still apply, however, all Ingredients have retained only either their Flavor Profile or their Strength Value. That means the other characteristic has changed. An item that originally had Filling and 4 could now be Filling and 2 or Sweet and 4. The only way to know the item's new value is to Claim it.

Before we talk about what you're going to do with the Ingredients, let's talk about how Claiming works.

Each member of each Tribe will Claim one ingredient in their Confessionals. The Flavor Profile and the Strength Value of that item will be revealed to that player and that player only.

All-Star Advantage: At this point, the player will be granted the choice to Keep the Ingredient or Claim Another Ingredient Instead in exchange for 100 All-Star Points. This will allow you to see the Flavor Profile and Strength Value of the first Ingredient, but this choice must be made before any additional characteristics of the Ingredient are revealed, and this choice must be made before the Flavor Profile and Strength Value of the second Ingredient is revealed. If another Ingredient is drawn, that Ingredient is automatically Kept.

Once you Keep an Ingredient, you are free to share it with your Tribe. However, your Ingredient may possess additional Traits. These Traits are secret until they are obtained, but here are some hints on Traits:

[ ] Some ingredients come at a premium! Try obtaining name brand ingredients and it may just give your tribe a leg up!
[ ] Some ingredients give a player the ability to spoil the opposing Tribe’s ingredients, encouraging Tribe rivalry and adding a dash of unpredictability to the challenge.

Now then, once your Tribe has all of its ingredients, it's time to make your Dishes. Each Tribe may present three dishes for Scoring, and you must use at least nine Ingredients across all three Dishes.

[ ] 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.

The winning Tribe is the tribe that score the highest combined Taste Value across their three dishes.

What are you playing for? The winning Tribe gets:

The Challenge begins at 12:30 PM FST (in about 30 minutes). You will have 18 hours to complete the Challenge, so until around 6:30 AM FST. You may use your Tribe Camp threads to coordinate and communicate, but you may NOT share your Ingredients that you have claimed until you have decided to Keep or Switch them in your Confessional.

If you have any questions, please ask here.

Well for starters, I've got some bad news.

Day Change will not occur until late tonight, possibly around midnight FST

This will have a pretty nasty impact on the schedule over the next few days, but what's likely to happen is Day 6 gets used to Thursday-Friday and Day 7 just reverts back to a 24 hour day. Sorry for any inconveniences this will cause.

You only have yourselves to blame.

Let me start by explaining what went down with all those special Traits.

Bellemere's Finest, Wanze Noodles, and Caesar Candy were Brand Name Ingredients. They were literally named after One Piece characters, so possessed the Trait of allowing whoever claimed them to claim a second Ingredient, with the detriment of a) not being able to Trade the Ingredient and b) not being able to use any of its special Traits.

Kyubukai picked up on this early, and as a result achieved a huge early advantage by claiming them all and using them to get 12 Ingredients.

Fresh Gyasta Bison Fillets, Big Horn Special: Crushed Bison Horn, and Cocoa Weed Pebbles were Spoiling Agent Ingredients. They were named after the three Tribes of Drum Rockies, and so they had to be about "tribe rivalry" didn't they? Spoiling Ingredients would reduce one Ingredient on the enemy Tribe's Strength Value to 1. Unless that Ingredient already possesses a Strength Value of 1, in which case it would become a Strength Value of 5.

And that is what happened when the Kyukou Tribe spoiled the Wanze Noodles,

With all that said, you guys claimed a lot of exciting ingredients and put together six fantastic dishes.

Let's see what the Kyubukai Tribe prepared.

The Drunk Sea Flank with Mintia Sauce is expert work you guys. The savory flavor of the Sea King Flask is perfect, while the West Mintia Berries and Syrup Licorice work together to give it the perfect amount of sweetness. I give it 25 points!

Caesar's and Wanze's Psychedelic Cake is just bizarre but it works so well. The Caesar Candy and Milky Dial Drink are the perfect amount of Sweet. And the Noodles and flour combine to make it just perfectly filling. You guys are kooky cooks, but I love it! I give it 25 points!

Let's go from the bottom here.

Princess Vivi's 25th Birthday (You Need to Quack with the Wines) is a master class in perfect sweetness (thanks to that Special Sakura Ale) while being perfectly fulfilling (thanks to the perfectly complimented duck steaks and snow spinach). I give it 25 points!

Whitestache's Free Range Arlong National Park Biscuits & Biscuits, what a title! Thankfully the dish lives up to its name, as the saltiness of the Cured Swordfish matches perfectly with the bison and biscuits' wonderfully complimented savoriness. Another perfect dish, with 25 points.

Kyubukai Specialty Stufed Sour Crab... The Jaya Cherries are okay. Nicely Tart, but it could have been... tartier? It's the saltiness of the crabmeat and potatoes that brings this dish down for me.

The Stelly Supreme - Omelette du Fromage avec le Melon (featuring Amy Rose and Cream from the Sonic Series)

& Knuckles... The title is great, but the composition isn't the best. The Robelle Roses are nice and salty, but this could have been saltier. The real problem you have is that the angel puff cream and whiskey peak melons just make the whole thing way too sour.
