THE LIST - A Winner is You?

[Scigatt]

I used another computer to see how well someone could cheat using Photoshop's Ruler tool, but I still only got 2 point something. How do you get 1.34 with your actual eyes??? It's ridiculous :/

Luck and persistence. Also, is that why I saw that your best took 831 sec?

No, my best one was when I was forced away from the computer for a couple of minutes. Apparently having any sort of break helps?

I guess. My best one occurred right after I woke up, on maybe the 3rd or 4th try. I think the key, at least for me, was not psyching myself out, and at the time was was too sleepy to do so.

soz if i told u i was around 3

i wanted it to be a surprise
hence the mystery

[TheBadOne]

Once you submit, your score is locked in.

Just quoting this for those who are reading deficient.

Results still later.

Damn, forgot about that

[Xalxe]

45 minutes left and still missing several lists!

[Blackberry]

Awwww I really like pizza. I was not aware he was bros with Alex though o_O.

[Axxle]

Awwww I really like pizza. I was not aware he was bros with Alex though o_O.

Xalxe is also an Alex? Makes sense considering how I got my username and how similar our usernames are.

[Cybele]

Shouldn.t we at least get 24 hours to submit a list? I cannot submit mine until i am home from work.

This. I expected at least a 24-hour deadline. I just submitted my list, I hope it still counts

Literally this ^ (I

knew

I felt a shorter time limit ).

Yup, shorted by 3 hours or so.

While I agree with all of you, I know Xalxe is just going to point you all to this:

Challenges will be posted every Tuesday and Friday between 4 and 8pm EST. There will be no live challenges, though it is possible you may need to arrange to meet with me to complete a challenge. Lists will be due by 4pm on the day of the challenge. Submissions will be permitted to be changed until either deadline or when all submissions have been received.

[Cybele]

Hey, he's the one who pushed back his schedule and short-changed us with the time.
Anyways, I'm sending in my list now.

[Xalxe]

I will accept late lists this round, as I had company and didn't post the challenge last night anyway.

[Xalxe]

Challenge 4

Sorry about the lateness, guys, I'll make this quick. For this challenge, I will PM you each a list of ten obscure words, along with their definitions. Your goal is to create an alternate definition for the word that sounds plausible enough to fool my judges.

However, there is a catch. Your definition must begin with the same letter as the first letter of the real definition, barring articles or numbers.

As an example, if the word "apple" was defined as "a

r

ed fruit which grows on trees," your definition would have to begin with the letter "r."

After you have submitted, I will send the 11 definitions to my judges, who will rank the definitions from 1-11. If you have the top definition, you will get 11 points; the second, 10 points, and so on. However, if you rank lower than the real definition, you score no points from that judge.

You will have until

Sunday night at 7pm EST

to submit your definitions. Please pay close attention to the format I request in the PM, it will make my life a lot easier. You may discuss with each other, but please do not post about the words or contact non-players about the challenge, you never know who my judges are!

[xofelf]

Oh xalxe <3 this is a game I grew up playing and is one of my favourites.

[Xalxe]

Tick tock, six hours left!

[Xalxe]

I will now begin to send your definitions to the judges. They will have 24 hours to do their Judging thing. Results will come as soon as possible. Tuesday's challenge and List deadline will be delayed until 24 hours after the results are posted.

[Xalxe]

Challenge 4 Results

Welcome to the fourth cycle of results! Today, I asked you to use your brains and make some very convincing definitions for obscure words. The judges have considered, and the results are in!

Third place:

Drench

128 points

In fourth place, and the last safe spot:

Congratulations to our top four! Now, six players remain in jeopardy. The player with the lowest score will be eliminated. Let's continue!

xofelf

115 points

In sixth place:

Cybele

93 points

Seventh place:

Scigatt

85 points

Eighth place:

In ninth place...



















































With a score of 76...

D3f3nd3r

I'm sorry

SoraAdvent

, but your score of -5,284 (DNS) was just dreadful. You may have one post to say your goodbyes, then head on down the jungle path.

[Xalxe]

Temple of Fate 4

Welcome back. Four players have been saved by their challenge performance: Ser Arthur Dayne, Twistedspoon, Drench and TheBadOne. Now, each of them will save one player. Their lists will be consulted, and the player highest on their list who is not already safe will be saved. The last player will be eliminated, and will become the first member of the jury. Let's begin!

First, Ser Arthur Dayne saves:

D3f3nd3r!

Next, Twistedspoon saves:

xtopherusD!

Drench has chosen to save:

Scigatt!

Two players remain: Cybele and xofelf. Who will become the first juror?

The power rests in TheBadOne's hands.

TheBadOne has chosen to save:

xofelf!

Cybele, I am sorry, but you have met your fate. You may have one post to say your goodbyes, then please leave the temple area. In the event that you disappear before the final vote, you may send a List now to choose the winner.

[Xalxe]

Round 5

Players, you have until 7pm EST on Tuesday to send me your new lists from 1-7. When you send your list, please answer the following questions as well:

1. How did you choose to rank the players on this list?
   
2. Who moved the most on your list and why?
   
3. How do the eliminations of SoraAdvent and Cybele affect your play this round?
   
4. Who do you think is the weakest player left in the game?
   
5. Do you think you would be likely to get Cybele's vote on the jury? Why?
   
6. (If applicable): Why do you think someone saved you in the Temple of Fate? Did you expect someone else to?
   
7. (If applicable): Are you happy about who you saved in the Temple of Fate? Or would you rather have saved someone else?

[Cybele]

Meh.

[RichardGHP]

You just love making me scroll, don't you?

[animorpherv1]

You just love making me scroll, don't you?

If this is 'scrolling', I'd hate to see you scrolling through 16 player tribal councils...

[Drench]

Will we find out how the judges ranked at some point?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Can we get how much each definition got, etc? That'd be pretty cool.
