We hope you guys enjoyed trying to figure these out! The answers can be found here.

Here are the results:

We've enjoyed seeing your submissions come in - here are some of our favorites from yesterday!

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.

Pick your poison: writing or art? This event is mutually exclusive with the writing competition. If you submit (individually) for one, you CANNOT submit for the other. Submitting for both will result in 0 points. Choose wisely.

Should your poison of choice be art, you'll be putting a video game character in context of one of the major arcana (if you don't know what those are, think of the social links/confidants in the Persona series). These cards have both symbology and meaning embedded into them, so we suggest taking that into account when making your piece. You can do signature style graphics, traditional art, digital art, whatever it may be. Take what you do best and make the best piece of art you possibly can!

It's time for the aspiring authors among us to put your thinking caps on and write us a short story! We love to read short stories, no matter how good or awful they may be. Use any type of technique to try and make a compelling story of whatever genre you choose, incorporating the items and phrases below. You don't need to include these items prominently in your story, but the more prominent they are while keeping the story interesting and well-written, the more we'll consider you as a winner. Note that Smash Camp fanfics, no matter how well-written, will receive 0 points.

We've always wanted to do a four way cabin trivia event so we pulling the trigger on the last year cuz we ain't got SHIT TO LOSE!!!! 

WELCOME TO THE GAMESHOW OF MADNESS

Here's a breakdown of how it'll work to make it easy to understand since y'all be playing too much and asking stupid questions:

Each cabin will choose 3 representatives. There will be 3 different live gameshows in call (hosted at different times ofc) consisting of 20 questions each that will need to be answered buzzer style. (We will use a website for this). The questions consist of audio, visual, and text based questions that test general knowledge. These are a lot easier than the live trivia quiz question, but the challenge comes being the first to buzz in and answer correctly. If you take longer than 2-3 seconds to answer after buzzing in or get the answer incorrect, the second fastest buzzer will get to answer next and so on and so forth. If everyone somehow gets the question wrong, we'll move on to the next one and no one gets a point for that question.

Placements will be decided by OVERALL performance based on cumulative points of every participant in each cabin. (EX: Cabin 1 participants get 7, 6, and 4 correct respectively leading to a score of 17.)
If you get 1st in your individual game show session, you will get a bonus of 20 points. This is so if your teammates tanks the rest of your team in other sessions, you at least won't consider going out with honor. 

*20 points for getting 1st in your individual gameshow session

Once we have every cabin get their representatives, we'll work with y'all to set up the best times to get this set up later today.  Make sure to have back-up representatives in case time-zone shenanigans make it hard to set stuff up with the current reps.
Note: It is most likely that the majority of the gameshows will possibly take place past 4 PM CST as I imagine most Americans will be available past then if they work a normal job. It just kinda depends on who ends up being the reps

With that being said, I hope y'all have fun and don't think about the fact that non participants will be able to join call and hear if you got a really easy question wrong and look dumb in front of everyone 🙂

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

Today's items are the following:

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. 

Once you finish your daily activities, we strongly encourage you to participate in our side events! Some of these will last all of Smash Camp, and some have deadlines. Make sure to read the rules and enjoy what we think is one of the coolest parts of Smash Camp! Additional details for each of the side events can be found here.

Tomorrow we will host the Smash Camp 2023 closing awards ceremony, which includes the traditional Campie Awards! This is where we award campers with trophies that they get voted to win, by you! That's right, we want you to vote for your fellow camp mates to win the following Campies. Send a DM to @thundawave to vote. You don't have to vote for your teammates - you can also vote for members of other cabins or even staff members.

Note: You cannot vote staff members for overall best member. You also cannot vote for yourself in any category.

And that's it guys! Hope you've enjoyed this wonderful week!
