I’m your host, Raccoons, and for the next month, 16 participants will compete to see who is objectively the best in Raccoons Mystery Gauntlet.
Generally, rounds follow a two day cycle. The first day of a round is the competition phase, where participants will attempt to complete the given challenge to the best of their ability. The second day of a cycle will be the voting phase, where everyone gets to vote one participant out of the gauntlet. This will often be who did the “worst” at any given challenge. Although this may not always be the case; some challenges will have objective measurements, and consequently, no voting phase.
There are 15 rounds that will happen for about a month until one participant is crowned the ultimate champion and given a $50 steam gift card.

Rules
Please post your submission for that day’s challenge in this Raccoons Mystery Gauntlet thread and ONLY your submission. Discussion about submissions should happen in #general to make it easier for voters to reference each.
For the first couple of weeks, there will be 2 polls on the voting days, as discord sets a maximum of 10 entries in polls. You can ONLY vote for 1 participant to be eliminated. If you vote on both polls, your vote WILL NOT be counted.
NO ENTRY is treated with contempt as the worst possible quality submission. For voting, please consider a no-entry as if the entrant insulted your grandmother, kicked your dog and didn’t do the challenge.
Some challenges may be able to be cheated, and logistically there’s nothing I can do to stop it. Please be honest and above-board with your submissions, as although there is a cash prize, the Raccoons Mystery Gauntlet is intended to create fun discussion and not be that serious.
Polu (@polu) can be summoned a maximum of 3 times TOTAL by all participants. Whatever Polu submits is, for all intents and purposes, counted as a submission for whoever summoned him for any given challenge
With that in mind, good luck to everyone participating, the first challenge will open around 12:00 PM EST Tomorrow
I don't think you're allowed to drop out
bob if you win the event then nobody will complain if you ask to drop out
i think that's the only way tbh
honestly, I didn't even consider it but this is clearly a ploy to further himself
appear non-threatening, lay in wait inside his egg of deception
Replying to bob #b0b3365 can i drop out
I designed the challenges so that you can do them in 15 minutes or less, they're pretty easy
The harder ones are left toward the end
but i'm really bad at social things
I believe in you @bob
well see that's your problem

Replying to (Not Spooky) Spark Dragon #sparkdragoon What do I do
your given challenge for this competition is to let me win
I opted for the classic shitty mspaint artstyle since it is iconic
also since Polu is not in the competition, I included him in the corner of my picture
In case it is not clear since Raccoons only posted it in general
RMG ROUND 1 - Drawing Challenge
Draw your pfp, or else some picture that represents you! NOTE: the "worst drawing" doesn't necessarily mean the "worst quality" drawing; take effort, humor and sovl into consideration. Your entry for this challenge may be used later!
should probably crosspost to both

What’s the time limit on this?
If there even is one
he clearly said each round follows a two day cycle
you get the first day to do the thing
Replying to Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil #vinnyg What’s the time limit on this?
You will have 24hrs to complete challenges, so you should submit 12PM EST tomorrow
So I don’t have to try to do it on my phone while I’m still at work
- 👍 1
No, but you should cuz its funny
Actually, the rules just changed, has to be done on phone at work
Strange rule, I guess he wants to filter the unemployed
on the phone 🫡 while on the clock 🫡
I encourage submissions made on company time
Do you subtract points from people who use the polu lifeline?
