Hawkinator's almost-multiplayer pass along the save file challenge thingy.

[hawkinator]

Yeah, I kinda just copy-pasted it without really thinking. Fixed.

[bulletrhli]

My challenge was to land the crew from the refueler back on Kerbin.

I have done so. However, due to mechanical failures from our cheap rocket developer, our parachute system failed during the descent and a powered thrust landing system was made top priority. Our refueling crew had no abort system so it was up to them to make the landing very soft to survive! Because that's what we want.. right? Well, unfortunately, the landing wasn't as soft as we would like, but, thankfully, EVERYONE survived!

So, my challenge to the next person is to make either a plane or vtol capable rocket which can return the 3 crew members back to the kerbal command center. Its a bit of a lengthy mission, so, take advantage of higher altitudes!

I have a short album of images for you if you would like to take a look as well http://imgur.com/a/hO6EQ

I have figured out how to use Google Drive, so I have installed it on my computer, everyone can just go to File > Download to download my save for the challenge.

Good luck to the next challenger

Challenge complete. Sitrep: the Dionysus has rendezvoused with the trio of kerbals which had been deemed necessary to refuel the Mun lander, no explosions and a bit over a half tank remaining. The kerbals also suspect that their touchdown site was chosen deliberately .

The 7-pic album/documentary.

I challenge someone to return the Dionysus to KSS, park it a safe distance from the explosives, and prep it for the next time we need to retrieve lost kerbals! (action groups are 1=jets, 2=turbojets, 3/abort=deploy 'chutes, 4=cut 'chutes, 5=toggle forward landgear/roverwheels)

If you have the save file and are doing the challenge, try saying it like I did and make it large font so that people really see it and don't just take your post as normal conversation.

Not doing it, still in .19

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't and good luck sparty!

[sparty48]

Nevermind that. It wouldn't work for 0.19

[bulletrhli]

XD Okay, well, remove the I HAVE SAVE FILE part of your last post so people don't get confused.

[hawkinator]

Official Dibs-calling. I have the save file and I am completing the challenge.

[bulletrhli]

Cant wait for it to be done Hawk I might take it afterwards

[andrew32198]

Bullet I'll do the challenge after you, so you'll post a challenge and I have dibs on that one

[bulletrhli]

Okay I can't wait aha!

[hawkinator]

Have patience my friends! (plane flying takes a while)

[bulletrhli]

No problem mate! I am busy testing abort systems XD

[ZingidyZongxxx]

Bullet I'll do the challenge after you, so you'll post a challenge and I have dibs on that one

So there's a line now? Maybe I'll take your challenge then.

[bulletrhli]

Guess you'll be waiting a while Zingidy

[sparty48]

I say we impose a no line rule. Just my 2 cents

[bulletrhli]

Deal XD First to claim it!

[ZingidyZongxxx]

I say we impose a no line rule. Just my 2 cents

Sure, but the main problem is that you don't know if someone is already doing a challenge, and it causes people to rush so they can post it first. People should always remember to claim a challenge before doing it.

[bulletrhli]

That is why I imposed the other rule where you must DECLARE YOU HAVE THE SAVE using giant bolded text which Hawk has kindly put on the front page in the thread. I am sure people have the competence to read that and we have had no problems at all

[andrew32198]

ok so bullet isn't hawk doing the challenge right now?

[bulletrhli]

Correct, Hawk is doing the challenge right now, or at least he claimed it and has been working at it. Taking a while, the suspense is killing us, I think that was intentional

[hawkinator]

What do you guys think I should do?

I'ts "relatively" close to KSC, but not really there, and out of fuel. I could try to drive it to KSC from here, but that will take a long time. I could restart back at the original site, but I've gotten it here, so repeating that whole long flight, which took three hours IRL, doesn't sound like much fun. My other option is to "call it good", but the challenge said to take it to KSC and refuel it, so that's not quite right. Ideas?

[ThePsuedoMonkey]

I think if someone doesn't quite complete the challenge but put a lot of effort into it they get to challenge the next person to fix it like with the mun lander refueling mission. Out of curiosity, how high were you flying it?
