Your unique ID is found at the top of your card.

9) I will make sure you aren’t lying.

10) The first valid bingo wins the game.

11) Then we start a new game, and repeat until the hour is up.

12) The team with the most winning players wins a bingo merit badge (see it here)

So make sure you get your Bingo cards ASAP!!

Please let me know if this isn’t appropriately placed here. But I was inspired to make a video to inspire others to join @ff1caeteam or just participate in Color Wars in general. Let me know what you think!

Rhett and Link (who just so happen to be on the FF1CAE team) made an amazing theme song for colorwars! Check it out! Great work guys.

Follow them on twitter [ Link / Rhett ]

This is just a quick update, Zefrank will be posting round 2 of Roshambo at about 4:45 EST.  Make sure we stay on top of this guys…we need to win this!!  If you aren’t following him already make sure you get on that @zefrank.

The stats are up from the Roshambo challenge.

And look!

We didn’t do that terrible.

We can still win this!

Ok, Maybe not.

(I really think the bars should be the team’s color)

Ok team, I don’t know about you, but it’s been a loooooong time since I was a Brownie (Girl Scout’s lil’ sister).  I rocked the brown jumper and orange tie and brown knee socks.  I sold cookies.  And I earned some merit badges.

But this isn’t Brownies… This is Color War 2008.  And the merit badges look a little different:

The very first merit badge has hit the interwebs (or, more specifically, Flickr).  And it was created by someone on the *gasp* GOLD TEAM!

So rally together gang.  Let’s put our creative muscle to good use and create some kick ass merit badges of our own.

GOOOOOO TEAM!

Hey folks, your friendly neighborhood @kemics here just wanted to get you hyped up this beautiful morning. Yesterday @ZeFrank ran a little test on team spirit songs. We are gonna need some good voices and song writers out there for this challenge/activity. Who was a cheerleader? Anyone sing in church choir? What about all your Choir nerds in High School (Raises hand)?

Stretch your vocal chords and open up them pipes baby it’s #FF1CAETeam Idol time. w00t. Below is a post from the colorwar2008 site.

Btw, we don’t need no stinking badges! Actually yes we do, get your badge ideas ready as we are gonna need some cool ones. I can’t wait to earn my Blogging Badge and my LolCats badge! Icanhazbadgez?

A TEST : TEAM SPIRIT SONGSOn Wednesday we did a quick test for possible future challenges involving audio such as: Team Spirit Songs. You can listen to the results at:
http://www.evoca.com/colorwars. Unfortunately we overwhelmed the site…looking into some alternatives.

All right, you hexy FF1ACEers, it’s your teammate & pal @sheaj12.  And listen up gang because we have a modified challenge on our hands. The RoShamBo challenge is being taken to another level (largely due to worries about creating Twitter spam and ensuring that our sassy pics don’t get lost in the shuffle).

As a result, RoShamBo has been split into two separate rounds. Here’s the scoop on Round One:

Clicking this link will lead you to the first round. Just click the “throw” button to start a ro-sham-bo between two different teams. You can pick any of the participating teams by typing their name into the input box. Its simple. Pressing the “throw” button starts a ro-sham-bo between us and another team. You can select a team by typing their name into the input box (i.e, verygreenteam). We can play any team, so make sure to go strong and challenge them all! Now this is where things get interesting - in each match, two images will be chosen at random (one of ours, one of theirs). The match will result in a win or a tie and the result of each match will be recorded somehow in the magical world of Color Wars. We’ve been given a warning - if lots of people are playing simultaneously, the match thrown may already be down the stack by the time the page refreshes, but it will be counted.

At the end of Round One the top 4 (or eight) teams (obviously that includes us!) with 10 or more valid throws in their arsenal will move on to compete in Round Two, which will be played on Twitter.

Definitely keep checking the ColorWars website, though we will definitely be keeping you up to date as quickly as possible.

So get out there team and THROW DOWN!

(And don’t forget to talk some smack while you’re at it…)

We are FTW!
