I Survived This Mess Of A Team

**I Survived This Mess Of A Team** is the season finale of **Pandemonium**.

## Description

Limited seats on the final boats causes in-fighting within teams and one team wins in one of the closest wins in VTC history.

## Final Mission Rules

This final mission will be done over a course of stages that will be released over the course of the next few days. Most stages will be done in your team's designated channel for the final where you need all of your team (exceptions can be made if reviewed by production) to compete. Depending on your team's performance in a stage, your team will receive a point! This point is crucial as the team with the most points by the end of the final will win. The team which wins that specific stage of the final will win a point, adding to their final score that will be revealed at the end of this final mission.

## Day One

**Stage #1:** *Order Up*

In this stage, you must have your team online to compete. Once your team is ready, say !stage1 to begin your time and receive a list of words and phrases in a cipher with a letter next to them. Along with the phrases, you will be given an answer key to decipher the disguised words and sentences. Once you've deciphered the phrase, you will have to order the letter next to this phrase based on what number the phrase relates to. For example, if the phrase was next to A) and related to the number 2, you would have A in the #2 spot. Once you and your team have fully deciphered all the words and found which spots they belong in, send a command with the letters in order based on the number the phrase next to the letter relates to. If correct, your time will be stopped. If incorrect, your time will continue along with giving you a two minute penalty to your time.

**Stage #2:** *Country Changeup*

In this stage, you must have your team online to compete. Once your team is ready, say !stage2 to begin your time and you will receive an image of the outline of countries, separated by continent. These outlines may be rotated or not of proportion to other countries to increase the difficulty. You and your team will have to figure out which countries the outlines belong to, then figure out the capital cities of all the countries outlined on the image. If there are two capital cities for one country, you may choose either or to use. Once you find the name of the capital city of the country, follow the rules listed with the stage to change the spelling of the capital city. After this, list all of the capitals in alphabetical order of the continent they're in, then by the country the city is located in. After you have a finalized list, send it in your chat and say !finish to stop your time.

**Stage #3:** *Pandemonium of Puzzles*

In this mid-final stage, you will not only be competing against the other team, but you will also be competing against your own team! There are only four spots on each team's boat, meaning three people on Team Mayhem and one person on Team Conquest will be purged and immediately eliminated from this final mission. Don't forget, this is also a team stage meaning that the team that wins will also receive a point for this stage. You will be tasked with four different puzzles you must complete in your individual submissions channel. They can be completed in any order you please, but they must be completed by the deadline. When you are ready to begin a puzzle, say !puzzle# - replacing the # with a number - to start your time and receive a puzzle. You will complete the puzzle and either send a completed code or send !finish to stop your time. Depending on your performance in the puzzle, you will be given an amount of points ranging from 1-12. If you are the fastest/most accurate player to complete the puzzle, you will receive 12 points. However, if you're the slowest/least accurate player to complete the puzzle, you will receive 1 point. If you happen to DNF a puzzle, you will receive 0 points and the 11th player will still receive two. The three players from Team Mayhem and the one player from Team Conquest who has the lowest total score within their teams will be purged. In addition to this, the team with the best average score within their whole team (excluding purged players) will win this stage and receive a point.

Along with starting your time for only one hour, you will also receive a link to Flappy Bird in which you must use to count up as high as possible with the scores you get. You cannot send two scores in a row, it must alternate between at least two people. You will continue this process counting up as high as possible until one hour is up, then you'll say !finish before one hour is up to stop your time. If you stop your time over one hour, every additional second (milliseconds not counted) over will remove two from your most recent score.

**Stage #5:** *Connect Eight*

In this stage, you will be competing in your individual submission channel. When you're ready, say !stage5 to begin your time and receive an image with eight different boxes with their own grid on the inside of this box. The grids will be filled with repeating letters with the exception of one letter. You must find this letter than doesn't have a repeat in this grid and use all eight letters without a repeat in their grid to form a word. Unscramble these letters and send it as a word in a command. ex: !word If correct, you will then be given a puzzle you must complete and send a screenshot of before sending !finish to stop your time. If you're incorrect, you will be given a 1 minute penalty and you must try again.

You must figure out which eliminated player's confessional this wordcloud belongs to and send your final answer in bold. ex: VAL Once you think you've figured out the first wordcloud, say !cloud2 to get your next wordcloud.

**Stage #7:** *Laps Of Hell*

You will have to send RUNS AROUND LAP #, replacing the # with the number you're on. (bold is optional, caps are necessary) Once all four members have said runs around lap for that number, you can go to the next. Continue this until you reach 50, then say !checkpoint# - replacing # with which checkpoint you're on - to receive a task you must complete. Once everyone has completed this checkpoint, you will repeat the process and run around laps to 50. Repeat this process until you're finished the fourth and final checkpoint, then run a final 50 laps, then say !finish to stop your time.
