The Test of the Covered Cartouche
The Test of the Covered Cartouche
(Test - Architecture)


A leader can build alliances. Work with and against others in a series of building and voting rounds. Remain in the contest longer than others to advance.

Overview

Players are randomized into groups with 12 participants each. First, a Ceremonial Voting Booth has to be built. Players are eliminated one per day in building and voting rounds. When there are an even number of players left in the group, everybody builds a certain Cartouche building, and the one building the smallest is eliminated; when there are an odd number of players left, everybody votes on somebody else, and the player with the most votes is eliminated. The last three players in a group will get certificates, to participate in the next higher level groups, or for level 3 groups, buy rare items (currently unknown for T11). The top three in a level 2 cartouche group will pass the test.

The task

  • Sign up for a contest
  • Group: Build a Ceremonial Voting Booth
  • Build a Covered Cartouche Project (1 Talent Point)
  • Enhance the Project (1 Talent Point)
  • Make it through 3 Build Rounds (1 Talent Point)
  • Make it through 3 Voting Rounds (1 Talent Point)
  • Pass the Test of the Covered Cartouche

Note: the "make it through 3 rounds" are cumulative across contests. Get eliminated after 2 rounds in one, and you will get a TP after the first round in the next contest.

The fine print

  • Voting is done at the Ceremonial Voting Booth
  • In each building or voting round, if there is a tie one person among the tie is chosen at random for elimination; this includes situations in which no one in the round builds a cartouche building at all.
  • Someone must vote during the voting round or the group is over and no one passes.
  • After three ties during a voting around, the group is over and no one passes.
  • Rounds are at least 23h long, then extended a random, unknown, number of minutes, it's easy to miss a building round and get eliminated
  • Eliminated players are still in the group and can read the chat, but cannot build, vote, nor join a new contest until this group has finished.
    • Trying to sign up for a new contest: You are already participating in a contest.
  • The top spot gets four certificates to level 2 for a level 1 group, the second spot gets two and the third gets one. (certificates can be found in one's inventory)
  • One level 2 certificate is used to join a level 2 group
  • The top three spots in a level 2 group pass the test
  • Ties are randomized - if several players don't build, or build the same size, one of those is randomly eliminated, same for votes
  • Size 1 buildings are quite cheap, then the cost increases exponentially, and more rare ingredients are used, as the size increases
  • Test buildings can be salvaged afterwards, or kept as decoration
  • Level 3 cartouche groups can possibly be formed if enough players pass level 2 during a telling. Winners of this may exchange their certificate for rare prizes
