Challenge 5: Blackjack
Hey guys, it's sera again! I'm your guest host for this week and I have a total of three challenges for you! The first two are up today, with the third one following in a couple of days. Have fun!
Description: The goal is to reach up to 21 points - anything over 21 points loses!
Requirements: You comment with "card please" in your team thread and I will use the random card generator on randomlists.com to determine what card you drew from the deck. Number cards are worth their point value (4 of hearts is 4 points, 9 of clubs is 9 points), face cards are ten points, an ace is worth either one point or eleven points (if you draw an ace, you determine if you want it to count one or eleven).
You can comment to draw more cards at any time until the deadline, but be careful that the total of your cards doesn't go over 21 points - if it does, you get nothing! (Well, no, you get five points for participating. *g*) Once you are satisfied with the amount of points you have, comment with "end" and the game is over for you.
Points:
- you win whatever point value you earn while playing, so up to 21
- if you go above 21 points in the game, you lose, BUT you will get 5 participation points for playing
- if you happen to hit exactly 21 points, you will receive 10 bonus points (so a total of 31 points)
Due Date: Monday, November 18, 10 pm MET (countdown)
Please keep in mind that I'm not always home/awake/online, so don't leave your first comment within ours of the deadline.
