Notes:
YES FINALLY!!!! The Silver Snakes finally make it to the temple again. And this is my first "bottom central shaft" layout. Too bad their temple run was pretty subpar. The players were slow, and didn't find that half pendant. Hence, they were caught by a third temple guard. And it would have helped if they had used more shortcuts. If the players had just gone straight into the Mine Shaft, they could have reached the artifact. And maybe even brought it out too. But, at least my little "drought" is over. And I promise this was NOT rigged. That's exactly how it came out, in case you were wondering.

Also, you guys can come up with your own color combination chart if you want. Just like the one I did on Page 7. I know it sounds tedious, but it will give you insight on what combinations are rare or have been used a lot.

Wow, the Purple Parrots actually beat the Orange Iguanas to a tiebreaker? And they achieved a solo victory too! Your Orange Iguanas run looks just like "The Iron Mask" temple run. Reminds me of a layout I drew up somewhere in this thread.

Anyways, new episode time:

Moat:
1st: Red Jaguars
2nd: Blue Barracudas
3rd: Green Monkeys
4th: Silver Snakes
Same order again.

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Green Monkeys
2nd: Blue Barracudas
Red: 2 Correct
Silver: 0 Correct

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 4-4 Tie
Temple Game 2: 4-1 Green
Temple Game 3: 5-1 Blue

Blue Barracudas: 1.5 Pendants
Green Monkeys: 1 Pendant

Temple Run:
Out of Time
Layout: Season 2, Layout 2
Artifact Location: The Mine Shaft
Guard Locations: The Ledges and the Dark Forest
Half Pendant Location: The Pit of Despair (Acquired)

Diagram:


Note: This layout is very similar to that of "The Imperial Purple Robe of Impress Theodora." Where the wall didn't break down and the players were forced upwards. Only this time, the team didn't actually make it to the Mine Shaft. Not much else to say except if the players had moved faster, they probably would have reached the artifact. Not sure if they would have brought it out though.

And here's another one:

2nd: Green Monkeys
3rd: Red Jaguars
4th: Orange Iguanas

Orange: 1 Correct

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 2-1 Green
Temple Game 2: 2-1 Green
Temple Game 3: 6-1 Red

Tiebreaker: Red Wins!
Red Jaguars: 1 Pendant (Lost-Lost-Won, Won Tiebreaker)
Green Monkeys: 1 Pendant (Won-Won-Lost, Lost Tiebreaker)

Temple Run:
Caught by Three Temple Guards (0:58 remaining)
Layout: Season 3
Artifact Location: The Jesters' Court
Guard Locations: The King's Storeroom, the Room of the Ancient Warriors, and the Shrine of the Silver Monkey

Diagram:


Note: This run is very reminiscent of "The Thornwood Gavel of Judge Roy Bean," where poor planning really does the team in. Only this time, the first two temple guards were in different places, and this team got triple captured. The second runner made the major mistake of entering the uncleared King's Storeroom instead of logically following her partner's path. As a result, the third temple guard took her out of the temple with 58 seconds remaining. Such a shame too, since the run was in good shape up until that point. This run exemplifies how you should ALWAYS follow your partner's path with less than 2 pendants.

Also, this is my first Red vs. Green pair. So now all the color combinations have been used at least once for me. So whoo there.

I'm kind of surprised I'm still missing a couple of temple games combos.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Wow, look at all your Purple and Silver temple appearances. That's like the opposite for me. Hopefully you'll get an Orange vs. Silver and a Blue vs. Purple pair soon. For me, the only pair that hasn't occurred is Red-Blue-Purple-Silver on the steps. I hope that pops up for me soon. I probably won't do another update until I reach 40 episodes. This next one is gonna be my 34th, so I've still got a ways to go. I hope I get some more wins soon, I've only had 7 so far. I want to get at least 10 wins in before the 40 episode mark.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

And here's the episode now:

Moat:
1st: Silver Snakes
2nd: Red Jaguars
3rd: Purple Parrots
4th: Blue Barracudas
Finally got the "missing" color combination.

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Silver Snakes
2nd: Blue Barracudas
Red and Purple both got 2 correct. Not a second to last step tie though.

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 5-3 Blue
Temple Game 2: 2-2 Tie
Temple Game 3: 3-2 Blue

Blue Barracudas: 2 Pendants
Silver Snakes: 1/2 Pendant

The Silver Snakes are once again, the loser team.

Temple Run:
Won! (0:13 remaining)
Layout: Season 2, Layout 1
Artifact Location: The Observatory
Guard Locations: The Ledges, the Mine Shaft, and the King's Storeroom

Diagram:


Notes: So I get a win, and an Observatory artifact location too. The players were fast, smart, and knew what to do in every room. The second runner absolutely blazed through the temple, and got to the artifact with about 30 seconds left. And a victory was recorded with 13 seconds left on the clock. Temple runs don't get any better than this. And no this was not rigged.

Temple Run
Season: 3
Artifact location: Room of the Ancient Warriors
Number of guards encountered: two
Guard locations: Ledges (not encountered), King's Storeroom, Shrine of the Silver Monkey
Outcome: Out of time

Run Diagram


Notes
Damn, and two of the three guards were totally avoidable. The Ledges guard was avoided, but after knocking down the column in the pit, the front runner fell for the direct path trick and went into the King's Storeroom instead of the Tomb of the Headless Kings (also opened). This resulted in the first guard. If it weren't for this move, then a solo win would've happened. With a guard in the Shrine, the second runner had no prayer in the world. Almost a Bullet-Riddled Handbag layout.

You know what? I'm in the mood for another one!

DSFDNIWEDNDSNCVCOZSDKOSEFNEWNCDSONCSDONADELVQF!!!!!!!

Really, this was a heart-breaker. The front runner was pretty good. He only encountered one temple guard. He entered ten rooms and the other two guards were in the two rooms he didn't enter. Unfortunately, he made two big mistakes. The first one being that he didn't enter the Mine Shaft from the Shrine and instead took the slow-ass elevator. Second, he pulled a Jason and went into the depths of the Ledges on his exit. Just like Jason, time expired when he was behind Olmec. Talk about tough luck! These two mistakes cost the team the win.

Time for another episode from me:

Moat:
1st: Purple Parrots
2nd: Green Monkeys
3rd: Blue Barracudas
4th: Orange Iguanas

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Blue Barracudas
2nd: Purple Parrots
Neither Green or Orange got a question correctly. It was a double sweep.

Temple Games:
Temple Game 1: 6-5 Blue
Temple Game 2: 4-1 Blue
Temple Game 3: 6-2 Blue

Blue Barracudas: 2 Pendants
Purple Parrots: 0 Pendants

I guess whether it's random episodes in this thread or the real show itself, the Purple Parrots just can't get lucky.

Temple Run:
Out of Time (Reached Artifact)
Layout: Season 3
Artifact Location: The Tomb of the Headless Kings
Guard Locations: The Crypt, the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, and the Dark Forest

Diagram:


Notes: Not much to say about this run, except it reminds me a lot like "The Good Luck Watch of Empress Eugenie." The frontrunner was hesitant and moved pretty slow. After being removed in the Shrine, the second runner took over and blazed through the temple. The artifact was grabbed at the last second, but time ran out soon after. Too bad, the team probably could have won if the frontrunner didn't hesitate so much.

And time for yet another episode from me:

Moat:
1st: Orange Iguanas
2nd: Purple Parrots

4th: Blue Barracudas

Temple Game 1: 3-1 Purple
Temple Game 2: 5-2 Purple
Temple Game 3: 1-1 Tie

Purple Parrots: 2 Pendants

And the Parrots go to the temple! Whoo!

Temple Run:
Won! (0:26 remaining)
Layout: Season 3
Artifact Location: The Room of the Ancient Warriors
Guard Locations: The Crypt and the Quicksand Bog

Diagram:


Notes: Well, the Parrots go to the temple for the 5th time in all my layouts. And what a great job they did all episode! They were 2nd in the moat, 1st in the steps, earned 2 pendants, and won with 26 seconds left on the clock. PP Pwnage! After the frontrunner was removed, the second runner blazed through the temple. The artifact was grabbed with 0:39 remaining, and escaped 13 seconds later. Victories don't get much better than this.

Also, this is my 36th episode. So I have one more "production day" to go before the end of the 40 episode season. The above layout marked my 9th win, so let's hope for 1-3 more wins. Once I get to my 40th episode, I'll do another color combination update.

[The Silver Monkey]
