Gather round ye young and old,
To hear a tale that's seldom told,
Of a sadistic mind and BA's perversion,
And new ways to fight the penance incursion,
Now write yourself into this story
Join those who rose to take their glory...
430 Summer Triple Challenge
Inspired by the original slew of challenge trials created by a former CBA admin 430 in 2017, we're launching three challenges over the next three weeks leading up to the summer-kick off event to see just how much 2022 BA and BAers measure up to our forefathers (some of whom are still here). In contrast with more recent gimmick races, these runs will test not only how quickly you can adapt, but how a little time can breed advancement and mastery of a changed landscape of BA. Each of these challenges will handicap at least one of the players on your team, and devising strategies to play around those weaknesses will be the key to success-- and of course, all of the benefits that come with it. Winners shall be crowned as we kick off our 4th Summer Event.
For more history about the original 430 challenge runs, you can read here. A big shoutout to navimydude and wcowly for helping put this together.
Rules:
Submissions:
Prizes
Prizes will be awarded for the fastest teams by the end of submission time for each race (30m per team), as well as six raffle prizes for players that participated overall (10m each, two per challenge, submitting more than once per challenge will not raise your individual chances).
Challenge 1: Green Eggs Only (12:15 Eligibility)
A solo-heal run where only green eggs and the omega egg may be shot from the cannon. Collector POV is eligible for speed.
Challenge 2: The Arrow Room (14:45 Eligibility)
A standard arrow run. All players must enter the arrow room between each wave to re-randomize their roles. Everyone has to select 'I'll do any role' whilst entering the room, but moving inside the room is allowed. Any POV is eligible for speed. An additional prize is available for best team should they beat the arrow WR of 13:38.
Challenge 3: Solo Half-Healers (12:30 Eligibility)
A duo-heal run from W1 to W10; both healers must fill 14 (half) of their inventory before the run with items. These items CANNOT be damp eggs. These must remain in their inventory until the end of the game. Either Healer POV is eligible for speed.
The Challenge Awaits

Rules:
- All three challenges are issued concurrently. From the time of this post to the end of Friday, June 10 at 11:59 PDT (Saturday 6:59AM UTC) any submissions will be considered eligible. This means you need to submit your run before the deadline, not merely play the game before then.
- The challenge must be abided for the entire duration of the run by all relevant players on the team. Failure to do so disqualifies the run from consideration.
- To be eligible for the prize for winning each race, your team must finish above the listed time.
- Any BAer at large (unbanned) is eligible to win all three races. Go nuts.
Submissions:
- Submissions for winning a race must include at least one video POV of the role specific, preferably uploaded to Youtube, as well as the names of all five players and your game time.
- Submissions for completion may take the form of a screenshot upload of your team in the BA Lobby with a post including the names of all five players and your game time.
- You may submit as many runs as you wish, but additional runs will not result in additional raffle entries. You are of course welcome to be in multiple distinct teams which are submitted for the raffle, but this will not increase your chances nor would there be a point submitting a 12:13 and a 12:30 of the same team, if the record is currently 11:30.
- Submissions must be made in a timely fashion in the spirit of transparency. Please do not "hide" a time until the end and submit last minute. You may submit a screenshot and take your time to upload a video, but any submission deemed needlessly late will be disqualified.
