Community Challenge: Battleship

[pumpkinkingmod]

Every year there is a community challenge. This year we will be playing Battleship, the entire community against me. I’ve linked to the Wikipedia article.

In the game you have a 10x10 grid. The rows are A-J the columns are 1-10. On that grid I have hidden a carrier (5 tiles), a battleship (4 tiles), a cruiser (4 tiles), a submarine (3 tiles), and a destroyer (2 tiles).

In the game you call out a square on a grid, such a A7 (row A, column 7). I will say hit or miss. The goal is to find and sink all of my ships.

It would be a pretty short game if the community just got to freely call out squares. Instead, the community has to complete a certain goal in order to call out a specific square. You need to get number of works specified by the criteria.

The community does not need to do all of them to win the challenge, they just need to sink my ships.

The assignment of task to tile will be revealed with assignments, but for planning purposes, here are all one hundred tasks.

The numbers were loosely inspired by how much each tag was used last year, if at all.



Key
😈 - Miss
☠️ - Hit

I believe we have hit F6, five fics tagged "Communication".

Also, there are two fics tagged "Dawn", G7:

There are well over 50 fics rated M or E. Does that count toward #57/G6 (50 works with sex) or do they need to be tagged "sex"?

Has anyone assembled a list / spreadsheet of who still needs an extra gift? I've checked everyone in my core fandoms but I could maybe get another treat out to somebody?
