Challenge 10: A TOWER OF BALLS
Thank Amanda for this challenge. This was her creation from awhile back.
Come on in, guys! We have... TWO of these today!

Today's challenge is going to be a mix of endurance, sneakiness, and clusterfuck.
All you have to do is build a tower of balls, posting one ball a minute. Sounds simple and ordinary, right?
One major twist This entire challenge will take place in HERE!
There are two kinds of balls, blue and green:
Only ONE person can be building a tower of balls at any given time of EACH color. Meaning if someone else interrupts you by posting a ball of the same color, your tower is FINITO. Someone MAY build a tower of the other color while you are building yours. They won't interrupt each other.
ALSO, if your tower crashes, you're out of the challenge for 15 minutes. Meaning if you miss a minute or someone else takes building your color, you have to wait 15 minutes before you can get revenge, or before you can take over the other color. Again, your call.
There are, of course, limits. You can't post a green ball one minute and a blue one the next, then keep alternating between the two. Once you pick a color, you are STUCK with that color until someone interrupts your tower. You MAY change colors after that, but not during.
For example:
Tracy starts building a blue tower:
3:45:
3:46:
3:47
And now J.P. comes along and begins building a green tower:
J.P. @ 3:48
Tracy @ 3:48
J.P. @ 3:49
Tracy @ 3:49
Tracy starts building a blue tower:
3:45:
3:46:
3:47
And now J.P. comes along and begins building a green tower:
J.P. @ 3:48
Tracy @ 3:48
J.P. @ 3:49
Tracy @ 3:49
At 3:50, Bob Dawg decides to play this (
) and he can choose: Does he take a green orb and end J.P.'s tower or a blue ball and interrupt Tracy? He CANNOT do both. Once he starts a tower, he must keep with that color. He would start with ONE BALL of that color - a new tower that's his.So, let's say he goes with attacking J.P.:
J.P. @ 3:50
Bob Dawg @ 3:50
Tracy @ 3:50
J.P.: @ 3:51
Goddammit, Bobby! I was NEVER a threat to you.
Bob Dawg @ 3:51
;D
Tracy then misses her post at 3:51, so her tower collapses.
J.P. may get revenge on Bob Dawg at 4:05. His high green count is 3.
Tracy may start again at 4:06. Her high blue count is 6.
Note from the hosts: I know the balls are sorta big, so you don't need to build it in a pyramid. Also, please don't stack vertically! You MAY modify posts, but you MUST do so at the same minute as your original post - otherwise, your tower falls.
The person who builds the highest tower of EACH color after 24 hours will win immunity. If the same person wins both colors, whichever of the two is HIGHER will be the immunity they win, and the second-highest of the other color will be the second winner.
However, of the two immunity winners, Green and Blue, the person who has the HIGHER tower will earn a RECHARGE power, allowing them to recharge one of their crystals if they have any, or someone else's. The second highest will win immunity but no recharge.
Do not begin until 8:00pm EST. The challenge will be done in here. Remember, choose one color ball, and stick with it until someone interrupts you and collapses your tower OR you miss a minute. Two players may build a tower at the same time provided they are different colors.
