Nope! You still have 5+ hours!

Just thought I would get tomorrow's players started early.

Just a note, Bigwig. Since you found it second, you should probably claim the +2 spot and then subtract 2 from someone!

What on earth are questions 3 and 5 supposed to mean.

Also, who do you mean by 'public'? Because B8 has very different tastes to the world at large.

Now Bigwig, you can't subtract from Chrono since Articuno did! >.>

Best word. Pick a word that is the best! That's it. Pick any word.
Best Person. Who is the best person? Who will people vote for in a poll as the better person?

Public = different message boards that aren't board 8!

I really don't think I should be having this much trouble with finding Target 2. <_<

If there's one thing I don't intend to do in this game, it's read the rules dammit!

So it's just that someone can only be posted once in each target?

I ended up dumping more letters quicker because the ball wasn't rolling!

Halt! the challenge is technically over!


Second Elimination: July 16th, 2011 - Chrono1219

The second elimination, and perhaps not the most fair one, but eh. I have learned my lesson! Let this be a warning that anything can happen in this game! For some reason, Bigwig targeted only Chrono to receive negative points and that led to Chrono's end. Everyone from group 2 is safe for this Commander phase!


The image above will change as I update it since it is hosted by me. Keep checking it each day for the live updates!

Was he just so far in the negatives that it wasn't possible for anyone to fall below him?

Yep!

He had -13. The worst BrettEagles could have done would be -11.

And that's all 5.
Well, dunno why Bigwig targeted him only, I was giving out minuses evenly pretty much.

Nothing against Chrono, but when you gave me a -3 I figured I should heap all my minuses onto one person just to be safe.

GOD F***

i need to learn how to read. BUt why would it be changed to simply be LONGER and not have the actual start time changed.

I was fine with it being an hour later. There was no way I was able to make it if it started an hour earlier. I thought it was starting at 10.

Minusing all on one person was the smart thing to do in this challenge, as you only need to come in ahead of one person to be safe.

Thus, the way the challenge was set up meant the person who got behind early would just get hit again and again as everyone else would just say 'f*** it, I want to live', and kick the guy when he's down.

I'm not pissed of because i lost. I'm pissed because i wasnt even here. I'm still unsure why it was moved an hour back, which is what caused me not to be here.

Ask for the answers after it was over

For Target 1, the first words were obviously "of the", and the Tales series was the first thing to come to mind when I hear "of the", so I just searched for that, and found Tales of the Cat.

For Target 2, I actually got tripped up at first because the first time he posted the -'s, he posted the first word as ----- --rt. I probably would've found it a whole lot quicker if not for that. I even did a search for "cart", but I dunno, that one just gave me more trouble than necessary. Even when I searched "13", I still didn't notice it.

For Target 3, the first word was -p--e, and I thought of the word space, so I searched for that. I found a Space Panic board, but that was wrong. Then on a whim, I searched the word panic, and that led me to Apple Panic.

For Target 4, the middle word was -o-o, which I immediately guessed may have been robo, and a search for that brought me there pretty quickly.

For Target 5, even though Kong would've been an obvious word to search for, I went with spider, and there it was.

5 confused the crap out of me because he wrote it as -Sp at one point, so I was looking for something called like, A Spider
