Welcome to tonight's LIVE Pit.
Tonight you are playing Dice Dice Baby.
In this Pit you will compete in 3 rounds of a die puzzle with each matchup participating in their own topic.. You will be given a 7x5 grid which consists of 35 squares. One of those squares is a START square showing where you start. There will also be 2 END squares which you must end on at different points. To begin, you will begin a round on the START square on top of a specially configured (non-standard) 6 sided die. On each face of the die is a number from 1 to 6. When a round begins I will reveal your grid (start and ends) as well as what numbers are on each side of the die as seen in the example below:
http://imgur.com/a/nIue2 I will then reveal a sum value from 2 to 12 which you need to total when you land on the END squares. You will land on 1 END square and whatever number is on top when you land there is stored. Then whether you like it or not you must go to the next END square and whatever number is on top when you land there is added to the stored number. The goal is then for that sum to equal the goal sum provided. If it does not add up to the goal sum then you can change any of the numbers by landing on the end square for which you want to change the number on it. You move the die by signaling a direction you wish to move the die (up, down, left, right). When you move the die in a direction you rotate the die 90 degrees.
So in the example above, if you move up, the die rotates so that the number that was initially ON TOP now becomes the number in FRONT, the number initially in FRONT becomes the number on the BOTTOM, the number initially on the BOTTOM now becomes the number on the BACK, the number initially on the BACK now becomes the number on TOP, and the numbers on the LEFT and RIGHT remain the same.
Each individual will post their directions in their matchup thread whenever they make it. But be sure of your moves as once you move you must work from that configuration as there is no reset button.
The first player to get the required sum of the die on the END squares will win a point. It will be a best 2 of 3 match with the first to score 2 points winning the Pit and remaining in the game.
An example of moving using the link above:
Number on Top is 6
Move: UP (Number 6 moves from TOP to FRONT)
Move: UP (Number 6 moves from FRONT to BOTTOM)
Move: UP (Number 6 moves from BOTTOM to BACK)
Move: UP (Number 6 moves from BACK to TOP)
When making your moves you only need to post the directions and I will check them.
NOTE: Both matchups will have DIFFERENT die configurations and grid configurations throughout the Pit.
At any time you can ask me what numbers are on which side wherever you are on the grid and I will answer.
Any questions or clarifications needed before we begin?
