Hello campers, and welcome to the first day of Smash Camp 2023! This year's going to be fantastic if precamp's got anything to say about it; we hope you're as excited for the week as we are!
In these day posts, we'll tell you all you need to know and more. Before you read any further, it is important that you understand our submission guidelines.
All submissions go into the respective submission channel for your cabin. Entries will not count unless they are posted there. Only submissions should be placed in that channel. Keep all of your submissions in one message if the character limit permits. Use image links (from Discord, imgur, etc.) instead of directly uploading to the channel when posting images. All discussion should be held in your cabin's main Discord channel.

If you need an extension on the deadline for whatever reason, talk to Bossvelt and Thundawave about it beforehand. All entries submitted past the deadline will only be counted for participation points and will NOT place if they would have otherwise.
 
ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CHANNELS BY .

Cabin Naming

Revotes and memes aside, each cabin has settled on a name. From now on, these will be our cabin names:

Cabin 1 is now known as W Cabin W Cabin!
Cabin 2 is now known as Final Adventure Road Trip (F.A.R.T.)!
Cabin 3 is now known as Camp's Unrivaled Newly Trained Superidols (CUNTS)!
Cabin 4 is now known as Peculiar Dogs!
  

Cabin Flag

Create a flag to represent you and your cabin and submit it in your cabin's submission channel! Try and think of something to represent your cabin specifically. Vote on which flag should be used, and your counselor will confirm the final flag with the camp leaders. This flag will be displayed in every leaderboard update, so choose wisely!

Contest Guidelines

  • Flags MUST have dimensions of 300 x 150 px.
  • Flags must contain your cabin name.
  • You may use any art medium to create your flag.
You will receive 10 points if you submit a flag. Entries made with clearly low effort will NOT count for participation.

Notice: We expect the representative flag to be submitted by cabin counselors in the submission channel before the start of Day Two.

Bullshit

Honesty may be a virtue, but on this game show, it isn't the best policy.

Welcome to Bullshit, a trivia event adapted from the Netflix series Bullsh*t The Gameshow starring Howie Mandel! Contestants on the hot seat aim to answer difficult trivia questions correctly, then explain to a panel of representatives from the other cabins why their answer is correct. And if you don't know the answer? Convince the panel that you know what you're talking about! It'll be up to the panel to decide whether they believe you... or whether they call bullshit!

How It Works
  • During Pre-Camp, cabins will choose 1 representative to be quizzed on the hot seat and 3 representatives to be on the panels for other cabins' hot seat members. Representatives must list their available times for Monday to make scheduling easier on the Leaders.
  • Leaders will quiz each person on the hot seat in a voice call with 3 panel members (one from each opposing cabin). Spectators are allowed, but they must stay muted throughout the entire challenge.
  • Hot seat members will have 15 seconds after each question is read to DM their answer to the Leader who is hosting the call. They will immediately receive feedback on whether they were right or wrong.
  • Hot seat members will then explain in the call why they think their answer is correct. Keep explanations under 30 seconds to 1 minute long. During this time and up to 10 seconds after the hot seat player is finished explaining, panel members will DM the hosting Leader whether they think the hot seat member is telling the truth or BS.
  • Panel members will be asked one by one to explain why they chose to call BS on or believe the hot seat member.
  • If the hot seat player answers correctly OR at least one member of the panel believes an incorrect answer, the hot seat player will advance to the next question. The game ends when the hot seat player answers incorrectly with nobody believing them OR when 10 questions have been answered.
  • Hot seat players will gain points for the cabin by progressing through each round. Panel members will gain points by accurately guessing whether the hot seat player is telling the truth or lying.

Contest Guidelines
  • YOU MAY NOT USE SEARCH ENGINES OR OTHER RESOURCES TO FIND ANSWERS. This applies to both hot seat and panel members. Observers of the event are also prohibited from helping or hindering contestants in any way.
  • Once hot seat or panel members DM an answer to the hosting Leader, it is LOCKED IN. You may NOT edit, delete, or resend your message.
  • This event is NOT mutually exclusive with the Live Trivia Quiz. Representatives from that event ARE ALLOWED to also be selected for Bullshit - but beware that Bullshit tests a different skillset!

This event ends on Monday at 11:59 PM EDT. DO NOT commit to this event if you cannot enter a Discord call for at least half an hour before this deadline.

Points Breakdown
Hot seat players will gain points for their cabin based on how many rounds they have successfully passed (answering correctly or having at least one panel member believe an incorrect answer). Point values do not stack, so a hot seat player who passes 5 rounds, for example, will net 100 points for their cabin.

1: 20
2: 40
3: 60
4: 80
5: 100
6: 120
7: 140
8: 160
9: 180
10: 200

Meanwhile, panel members will gain points for every accurately guessed answer.

Calling truth and the contestant’s answer being correct: 20 points
Calling bullshit and the contestant’s answer being incorrect: 5 points

Scavenger Hunt (Day 1)

A staple of Smash Camp that we're excited to bring back this year! For this event, we will provide a list of items that each camper will need to find and take a picture of in real life. Find them, take a picture of them (with the required proof - see below), and get some points! You will earn 5 points for each picture submitted, with an extra 5 bonus points available for specific items.

Contest Guidelines

  • You may only take photos of these items in person (in your house, at a store, wherever as long as you're physically with the item). It cannot be a screenshot or an image from the internet.
  • Your photo absolutely must be accompanied by a slip of paper with your username and cabin number on it (see the example below).
  • In the past we've been lenient with the validity of submissions that were not totally accurate but showed effort and/or creativity. This year, we will only accept submissions that are accurate as to what we're requesting (e.g. if we ask for a lime, we wouldn't accept a lemon that's been painted green).
  • Bonus points will be available for one or more items per day. These points will be awarded at the discretion of camp staff for submissions that meet the bonus requirements.

Today's items are the following:
  • A live rodent (hamter, mouse, rat, chinchilla, squirrel, guinea pig)Bonus if two or more are in the same shot
  • A real spider (can be dead)Bonus if web is in shot
  • A dragon (cannot be a pic of a show/game that shows a dragon on screen, has to be physical object like statue, toy, etc)

Example submission:

Cluezle (Day 1)

We will be giving you five things (character, item, place, etc) to guess as a cabin through the use of clues we provide. We will all be creating a thread/forum post in your cabin starting you off with one clue at first. You guys will have to make a collective guess as a team. If you guess wrong, we will provide you an additional hint and will keep going till all five hints have been given. You will be given points based on how many hints it took for you to get the right answer. 

Getting the correct answer on the 1st guess will award 25 points
Getting the correct answer on the 2nd guess will award 20 points
Getting the correct answer on the 3rd guess will award 15 points
Getting the correct answer on the 4th guess will award 10 points
Getting the correct answer on the 5th guess will award 5 points
