Passes and Progress

Welcome to the Keep Pumping tracking page.

Purpose of the page:

  • Compare our best Scores to weekly Passes
  • Ensure that Veggies are grown at the LAST Tower in the line
  • Give Hope and Encouragement


Organaization of the page

  • Passes
    • Here we Will only add Towers that passed, Complete with Score and RL Date
  • Tracking Week 01-08
    • Here We will track all towers for the indicated weeks. Towers that pass will be removed only for the next 8-week section
  • Tracking Week 09-16
    • Here We will track all towers for the indicated weeks. Towers that pass will be removed only for the next 8-week section
  • Tracking Week 17-24
    • Here We will track all towers for the indicated weeks. Towers that pass will be removed only for the next 8-week section
  • Template
    • This is just the administrative Template so more 8-week section can be added conveniently

We will keep 3 Passed Towers on each Tracking Page. This way we can still tell how many veggies were grown after/before the last passed tower.
I am not trying to discourage anyone from using a Bonus tower for their needs. However, each builder should commmit to a minimum number of plantings at the LAST Tower of the line.

Veggies and Life Points

Whats up with those veggies? There are a few things one should know about the Test of Life and Veggies...

  • Only Veggies grown in a Radius of about 4 Coords from the Tower Base will count for the Test of Life
  • Only Veggies grown in a Radius of about 4 Coords from the Tower Base will get you the Tower Bonus, if there is any
  • Flax is not a Veggie
  • 1 Point = 1 Seed Planted, Watered, Harvested - regarless of actual Veggy yield
  • Grow at the LAST Tower
  • Commit to a minimum number of Plantings at the LAST Tower for each week
  • Even though we pass seperatly, this test depends on us all doing our part, even if we have already passed or have a Tower in another line

Life Points Scoring

Scoring is straight forward.

  • Grow Veggies at Tower #1
    • Tower #1 gets Points
  • Grow Veggies at Tower #7
    • Towers #1, #2, #3-#7 get Points
  • Grow Veggies at the LAST Tower
    • EVERYONE in the Line gets Points

There will always be some Veggies grown at other tower than the last one.
There are usually two reasons for it:
A: Someone needed a load of Veggies and used a Bonus Tower to get that goal
B: Someone not involved in the Line grows wherever they please, which is fine, but doesnt help those at the End of the Line
Both are Valid cases. We cant do anything about it. As long as we commit to a minimum number of plantings at the LAST Tower in the Line WE WILL Progress and PASS.
