^ What those other dudes said up there. I'm available on AIM. And I'm literally almost always logged in as invisible (b/c I'm weird?) so don't be afraid to message me. Even if I'm not online I'll get whatever when I next check.

Even if I'm not online I'll get whatever when I next check.

Except for when I get messages saying that you don't get offline IMs.

I do? Did you try now? I'm online now...

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

AHAHAHAHAHA

.... I thought the puzzle was supposed to fit the whole screen till like a horrible time in....

Yea, I'm out

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Pretty sure I will be slowest by several orders of magnitude (84:06 minutes).

Mine was really horrible too at 75:06. The main problem I had is I did the 2 edges (left and right), and stuck them each at opposite ends of the screen. Then I kept looking for pieces to fill innerly and to make the top and bottom, but ran out at one point of pieces with straight edges and was like "what the actual fuck", till I realized the puzzle was supposed to be much smaller

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Also, I'd like to know how an extra 15 minutes was added onto my time...

I believe it was because once you submitted the final image of your screen the timer stopped (and to think I had to rush after finishing and almost just kept it and then would've submitted it when I came back ._.)

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Eh, did somewhat bad(ish), I think, but it would've nagged me to stop before I found all.

AND DAMN YOU SCIGATT AND DRENCH >_> Took me like 15 mins to find you

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

5.50 on first try. Meh.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

The convergence is by

far

my worst.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Some of you guys in the top ranked are making me feel bad about my time >_> (though my scores aren't that bad...)

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Ugh. Stupid parallelograms and convergences.

In other news, <3 bisect, right angles, and midpoints.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Giving it one last go

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

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 ).

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

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

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Round 1: J

Round 2: E

Round 1: B

Interesting numbering method

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

There's only 1 of each item, correct? Or am I misreading?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hey, you around?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hullo.

Are you gonna be around any time from 12:30 to 2:30 AM EDT?

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Hmm, well I got home right now if you're still around...

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

:sadness:

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Er... oh hai thar! If you're reading this, you may hold in your hands the power to make me win or lose this game. Which, tbqh, I'm quiet surprised that I got this far in, after such a horrible first challenge in which I thought I was eliminated for sure, and then subsequent challenges that I can only describe as a roller coaster ride. My play can definitely be described as cadaverous in some challenges, but I did persist on through all the challenges.

My strategy was fairly simple? I do feel that I stayed loyal, honest, and fair throughout the game. I simply ranked the people on my list in the order they contacted me, regardless of whether or not I felt they had honest or malicious motives. The only exception to this was D3f3nd3r, whom I contacted first and proposed that we put each other first on our lists, of which I kept true to till he was eliminated beyond my reach of help (since I was also in the bottom half). Everyone else's order I randomized on my list.

Umm... other than that, I simply tried to do the challenges to the best of my ability like the rest of you? Can I genuinely tell myself that that "ability" was superior to anyone else in this game, and that that is the reason I got this far? Fuck no. But somehow by a combination of luck, help from others, and malicious intent on the part of some people, I somehow managed to get this far. You have the numbers and everything else in front of you if you feel the need to determine "superiority", or if you want to look at that to make a decision on whom to vote.

Anyway, regardless of whether I actually win or not, I do want to say this was a very interesting game, and I am glad I decided to actually participate, and did end up having a blast (which was the main reason I joined). So thanks everyone for that.

PS: It was awesome to talk to and get to know some of you outside of the game <3
PPS: Let's ignore the fact the half of this post looks like a closing statement.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Er, sorry I'm a bit late, have a physiology test this week.

Ser Arthur Dayne: A lot of the entrants must have had similar strategies. Why did you make it and they didn't?

Er... well, partly because, simply put,

someone

has to make it. Sometimes things just fall in the right places? For example, it was nothing on my doing that xtoph let the chips fall where they may and told drench the truth, which in turn caused him to place me first.

However

, I do think I had a certain persistence (ex trying countless times to master the eyeballing game) and a hard-working trait (ex working well into the night on perfecting every little piece of those definitions so they can look perfect and real) that helped immensely in keeping me in the game.

Ser: Talk to me about your

help from others, and malicious intent on the part of some people

but mainly the latter part. Who exactly has been malicious in this game and how? Also which of the jurors was the most formidable whilst still in the game to yourself.

Hmm, perhaps that was an extreme way of putting it. I more or less meant "cheap play", which, imo, is the dishonest attempt at trying to force certain people to get eliminated because you view them as "dangerous", where as I, personally, would welcome the challenge. The "help from others" was simply me getting saved when I was up for elimination due to not performing well enough to rank in the former half of the tiers. Hmm... as for which of the jurors were most formidable, I believe everyone had their ups and downs. I felt TheBadOne was very impressive in the beginning, and was sad that he got eliminated simply because he couldn't get the challenge in on time. xofelf, Scigatt, D3f3nd3r, xtopherusD, and Cybele also all were very impressive and provided a tough challenge, and at one point or another I felt were performing brilliantly. And lastly (but certainly not least), you yourself was astounding and awe-inspiring in the latter parts of the game for consistently doing really well in the challenges.

I think both of you guys are really great. So I guess only question i have for you guys is Why do you think you should win? and what do you think your competitor did well?

Hmm, I believe I should win simply because of my dedication, perseverance, loyalty, and honesty throughout the game, and having an unbiased and just view towards the others in the game. I didn't try to backstab anyone, and I was truthful with people on where they ranked with my list. From day 1, I decided that if I were to win this game, I would do it without deception or the beguilement of others. Drench, imho, played an excellent game also, and I would definitely have no shame in losing to him. I do believe that his strongest asset was consistently being dominative in challenges, so big props to that.

And thanks everyone for the kind words

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Ah, awesome. A bit surprised. But ty all :]
