At an Invitational that I went to, there were multiple shades of blue, green, and pink beads on the model, but they told us specifically that shade didn't matter as long as you had the basic color right.rockhound wrote:The writer so one sticker. The builder was given one sheet of stickers. On the sheet there were about twenty different stickers each with a snowman doing or wearing something different.dudeincolorado wrote:wait so they only had one sheet of paper and one snowman sticker?
I have seen other such tricky things. Like the writer saw only saw one blue paperclip so they wrote "blue paperclip..." but I saw five blue toothpicks each a different color (something like navy, cobalt, sky, ocean, and royal).

Re: Write it Do it
If you mean that the sups didn't have enough of the individual shades to make it specific, then maybe, I'm not sure. Partially I think that was why, but also it was an Invitational, so they didn't want to make it too difficult.49ers wrote:does that mean they din't come prepared so they used all the shades???? just askingPhenylethylamine wrote: At an Invitational that I went to, there were multiple shades of blue, green, and pink beads on the model, but they told us specifically that shade didn't matter as long as you had the basic color right.

Re: Write it Do it
that seems almost unfair.....If you're going to do something that unorthodox i'd at least give the writers some sort of hint.rockhound wrote:Not necessarily. At an invitational in OH they gave us a sheet of stickers with snowmen wearing different clothing and doing differnt things. The writers only saw one sticker so they basically wrote "attach the snowman sticker ...." but they needed to tell you it was the snowman sticker with the red had throwing snowballs. Not the blue hat snowball thrower, the red had skier, or any of the other 20 stickers.dudeincolorado wrote:If the writer's instructions are even mediocre there still shouldn't be TOO much confusion with extra pieces,right? I mean when in doubt don't just shove it in and hope for the best right?

Re: Write it Do it
IMHO it's okay. I mean yes it's a curve ball, but really? The writer's job is to describe as best as possible, I and under the assumption that "put the snowman sticker on the paper" is defiantly not the best most writers can do. The writer should have know that something was up when the was only one sticker on one sheet of paper, or at least taken the time... you have 25 minutes for the goodness sake! Yes I might sound mean, it's because I'm in a bad mood. I'm sorry.

Re: Write it Do it
I think I might have been unclear. The writer did not see a sheet of paper with one sticker on it but rather saw a "standard Write it Do it structure" (whatever that is) and one of the pieces incorporated in it was a sticker. When you think about it it was only one of he 20-30 pieces that made up the structure.dudeincolorado wrote:IMHO it's okay. I mean yes it's a curve ball, but really?

ohhhhhhhhhh.....that makes more sense--in that case I still think they should have told them that a ton of stickers would be givenrockhound wrote:I think I might have been unclear.
