Sometimes when I'm thinking of a track to submit, I think to myself "okay I could submit X, but I know a lot of people won't care for it, there's no point in wasting their time and mine". Glad to see [CaptainMeme] isn't burdened by such thoughts. -Het

Going to be getting progressively less and less active onsite due to work schedule, but still very accessible over Discord (find me in the MS Discord!).
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
This challenge is called Alphabet. You’ll be given fifteen questions, each with a set of letters. This will be the upper case alphabet in order but with some letters missing. Those letters you will need to unscramble in order to spell a word.
For example, if you were given BDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSUVWXYZ, the letters A, C, T are missing. Therefore if you submit “ACT” or “CAT” you would get a point, either is technically correct. Your submission must be a word according to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, things that aren’t words will not count. Additionally, abbreviations like “CTA” are not acceptable. Most of the alphabets will have one answer, but some will have multiple.
1. You are allowed to use a dictionary, pen, paper & computer notepad while you are doing the challenge. All other resources including anagram solvers are strictly prohibited while doing the challenge, but they can be used before you start.
2. Your final score will be out of 15. The two players with the lowest scores will be up for elimination. If there is a tie, then the slowest person to get that score will be up for elimination. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary will be used to verify whether or not a submission is really a word.
3. When you are ready you will submit “Starting”. If you accidentally click out of it, you can submit “starting” again. However, when you are ready to submit “finishing” you will only get one time to submit “finish” and whatever you submit will be final.
4. You will have a 1 hour max out time. Any guesses submitted after 1 hour will not count.
5. You will have until tomorrow at 9pm EST, in (expired on 2022-01-27 21:00:00) to complete this challenge.
6. You may discuss the challenge with other players prior to starting, but once you have started the challenge you are prohibited from discussing it until after results are announced.
When you are ready to begin, you will click this link.
We will do our best to be able to answer questions but cannot guarantee we will be around when you start this challenge, so be sure to get all of your questions answered before you begin

Everyone except for Ethel and Save The Dragons.
Ethel unfortunately was unable to come up with a response and gave us "no idea". You can do this!!! I believe!!! STD gave us "PEEPEE" which repeats letters which I would never do in this challenge, and only 1 of the 4 Es was correct.
Princely! I like to think I, myself, am very princely. ho ho ho <3
Spoiler: who got it?
Everyone except for Meme and GB.
Meme gave us "Lin-Manuel Percy" which is not even a real person! For shame. GB gave us "Pencil" which is a real word, but not enough letters rip rip rip
Courtship! This seemed to give many people a lot of trouble.
Spoiler: who got it?
Only kdowns, mist, shadow & Xalxe successfully got this.
Ariel gave us "malkon why". Because I love you all <3 STD gave us "PEEPEE". Hmmm I'm detecting a theme here. Ethel was unable to solve this and gave us "no idea". I BELIEVE!!!!! Vash gave us "rustichop" which is fun! But alas not a real word. Meme gave us "Chop it, Rus!" which is 3 words. GB gave us "Ostrich" which is a word, but once again missing letters rip rip rip
And it all comes down to this! 6 people are safe, and 4 people COULD be on the block!
Alphabet 15's solution was...
Quintal! A weird word, but a word nonetheless!
Spoiler: who got it?
Everyone except Ethel & GB
Ethel gave us "Quality" and while it's true she is a quality person, there's no y in this word rip rip GB gave us "Quail" which is a word, but again missing a few letters rip rip rip
Which means GeorgeBailey is the first person on the block this round rip rip rip
Spoiler: and that means
With a score of 11, Ethel and Meme you are in danger of being on the block and this comes down to time.
Ethel finished in...
34 minutes and 14 seconds...

This challenge is really simple, but we aren’t going to announce what it is ahead of time so that it’s harder to cheat. We recommend using a computer to complete the challenge and only a standard keyboard will be required to complete it. It is also recommended to have a computer that can handle flash like games.

1. We are allowing outside resources for this challenge once you begin. You will need an image editing/uploading program of some sort to submit a score. When submitting, please ensure that a MafiaScum tab is visible so that we know you got the score for this game.
2. The two players who submit the lowest score will be up for elimination. In the event there is a tie, the slowest player to submit will be up for elimination.
3. When you are ready you will click “starting” then “Submit”. You may submit starting as many times as you want, but the first time will start your timer. You may only submit “Finishing” and “Submit” once however.
4. You will have a 1 hour max out time. Any guesses submitted after 1 hour will not count.
5. You will have until Saturday at 9pm EST/6pm PST to complete this challenge.

Going to be getting progressively less and less active onsite due to work schedule, but still very accessible over Discord (find me in the MS Discord!).
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
Spoiler: And who was fourth, taking the last safe spot?
Ariel, in 40:11.
That means that Xalxe, at 48:34, and Ethel, at 55:07, are our bottom two and will be on the block.
Please submit your votes in your confessional by 9pm tomorrow, in (expired on 2022-01-30 21:00:00).
