The Famine Game

Here ye! Here ye! All ye farmers and peasants! I bring to you a grave message from
the King.
As you all know, we have been suffering from bad weather over the course of
a few months, and this has greatly affected our crop production. All wheat has been
destroyed in the rain, and all chicken, geese and ducks have drowned in the flood. Not
to mention, our barley supply is running low. This, is the era of The Great Famine.
Fear not, for the king has came up with a solution.
Here are the Kings simple instructions. Each family has to come forward, and
present the best drawn; picture to the King. Ah, however, heres the catch. You are to
come forward, glance at the bookmarks pasted up front (Note to PICs: I think, we
should paste the bookmarks in front la) for 15 seconds, and after 15 seconds, you are
to proceed to the blank paper and start drawing. You have 40 seconds to draw, and
once your time is up, it is time for you to head back to your group, and send out
another representative.
Now, take a look at your resources. You are divided into groups, and they will
be your family.
1) Your family consists of 10 people.
2) You have 4 blind people in your family (blind folded ones), and the rest of you are
crippled.
3) The blind will carry the cripple, and the cripple will draw.
3) You can send out a maximum of three people per group (Think who you would
wanna send!)

(Note: If want, can continue from here.


4) 2 blind, 1 cripple. (Blind A shall carry Cripple. Blind B shall draw, while following
instructions from Cripple which is being carried by Blind A.)
5) Strategy: Blind A carries Cripple. Blind B holds on to them. Blind A + Cripple
leaves Blind B at the blank paper, while Blind A + Cripple travels to the bookmark.
Blind A+Cripple goes back to blank paper and instructs Blind B what to draw.)

A whistle shall give you your time


1 blow = marks the end of your 15 seconds
2 blow = marks the end of your 40 seconds
A long whistle shall be given to mark the end of this duel, and your pictures
will be judged by us, before it could be presented to the King. The picture that is the
most identical to the bookmark, will receive a bag of food brought far and wide from
travelers who come and visit the King.
You are now given 1 minute to strategize, and at a blow of a long whistle, let
the Famine Games begin!

Note to PICs:
- Things we need: cellotape, 8 bookmarks, 4 blind folds, whistle, 8 marker pens
WeiChen: blow your whistle! . (Hold whistle)
** Regardless of the time we start: It will end at 1:35pm
(Optional:
We can create crisis along the way.
- It is raining heavily and a thunderstorm is coming. Find a way to shelter yourself
from the rain. If you fail to do so, you will die, and your family will be short of
people. You may borrow umbrellas from your friendly neighbors (The other groups).
- Mobs from the neighboring lands came and raided your homes. One of the Blind in
your family has been killed.
I was thinking, for the final last 2 minutes, if it really is not done yet, we could give
this situation
-ALL of you are healed of your sickness, and you are now free to roam the land freely
to complete the drawing)
What do you guys think? Feel free to change anything you guys want.
