Task 4: Spheres
I don’t really have an interesting description for this task as I did for the previous ones. I was running out of task ideas and thought of a random noun, and it just so happened to make for an interesting, medley-style task!* Hold something spherical that is not a part of your body: 10 points
- Hold something spherical that would be impossible to hold in waking life: 20 points (must be done with a different object than the previous subtask; you can reallocate points later if needed)
- Play a sport involving a ball: 30 points
-
You’ve heard of dream spinning; have you tried dream tumbling? Roll head over heels for five seconds or more: 40 points (this is worth so much because it will either stabilize the dream or completely ruin it
) - It’s a good thing you don’t need oxygen. Visit a foreign planet: 30 points
- WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE. Transform under the light of the moon: 10 points
-
Be the sphere! Inflate like a spherical balloon or fill up like a spherical water balloon, then float (only if full of air), bounce (in either case), or roll (in either case): 30 points (can be combined with the 40-point subtask above)
Excluding Team Dreams and team rewards as always, the Action Team has 565 subtask points available so far, the Traveler team has 540, and the Shapeshifter team has 525. As I’ve been saying all along, an equal amount of points will be available for all teams by the end of Task 6 and throughout Task 7.
The Team Dream requirements for this week are as follows.* Action: Decide on a sport that uses a ball to play with at least one teammate.
- Traveler: Describe a foreign planet that you will visit with a teammate. You can give me a name, you can give me a description, or you can link me a picture. The planet needn’t be real, so fantasy planets are okay!
-
Shapeshifter: Decide on inflating or filling up with liquid with a teammate and also decide whether you will float, bounce, or roll (if applicable). As always, you and another teammate must do it together.
The winning team this week will get a bonus subtask next week that can easily be combined with the team’s other subtasks and will be worth 40 points! The other teams will be able to attempt it but will only get half-credit as usual (and would of course get half-credit for the other subtasks that easily combine into it). The bonus subtask will also not be applicable to a Team Dream. That said, points are points, and you should want the prize!
