The Mount Zoom Challenge – Discuss - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sleepy Ranger · 05-31-2006, 01:20 PM

Unfortunately I'll have to take some time off as well, I'll try my best to get this challenge done soon but I'll be gone for a week after that. Since I've been left in charge of GWE due to the owner going on break I'll be rather tied up.

Sorry!

Okay, that’s the end of the Singing Elves challenge! Since more have finished than haven’t finished, I'm not going to extend the deadline. Although I am officially handing a warning to Barrad Dash who has failed to finish the last three challenges.

___

Mount Zoom = Rescued by Dwarfy

Bag Endless-fuel = The Elves were there to help with the bet

Orth-Tank = Rescued by Dwarfy

*Barad-Dash = Rescued by Dwarfy

Medul-zoom = Smelly old Théoden got drunk!

Minas Mor-go = They were all a bit Idol

Minas Taxi = They dressed as Dwarves!

*Warning

___

So, voting is now open! Get ye votes in by Sunday 4th June!

I would just like to say that I am disappointed with the lack of participation in this game as of late. If you signed up to play, then play!!!

The rest of us have been doing a fine job with getting our posts done on time and it really sucks that we did our work and the teams that didn't still get to be carried along. I suggest that if the others do not post again in the challenge they should be dropped from the race, just like they would be in RL.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-01-2006, 11:00 AM

Here, here, Valier!

I was thinking of proposing such a threat, especially to Barrad Dash. -_-
But I couldn't bring myself to suggest it as I thought everyone would accuse me of being mean.

So, I'm going to say that if you miss 4 challenges in a row, then you will be disqualified. Your vehicle will be de-wheeled (or de-winged in Minas Mor-go's case) and sent back to its original area. Although, not in that order.

If you think you'll be too busy to continue, then we will find a new player to fill in.

Also, if Bag Endless-fuel wins the next three challenges, they'll win!

If they do, does everyone want to continue until the last vehicle has passed the finish line? Or do you want to finish it then?

Valier · 06-01-2006, 11:03 AM

I think the game should end when three teams have reached the end. Seems fair there should be first, second and third place winners.

Maeggaladiel · 06-01-2006, 01:45 PM

As much as I hate to say this, I think I should just resign. I'm just holding everyone back and making the game less fun. I don't want to do that to you guys.

In order to preserve everyone's sanity, then, I shall step down from the helm of Mount Zoom and offer the driver's position to anybody who wants it.

*takes off Sauron's helmet that she's wearing and puts it on the table*

Hmm. Looks like I had the volume turned up too high. *turns the volume dial from SHOUT to Loud and Intimidating*

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-01-2006, 02:37 PM

Sad to see you go Maeggaladiel, your posts were good when they came.

So, the position of Sauron driving the MIGHTY Mount Zoom is open to anyone who wants to try his or her hand at being a Dark Lord.

I agree.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-28-2006, 05:13 AM

I'd be good to have you back Maeggaladiel!

Three days of the Pit stop left, folks! You can still post on the Game thread with how the characters are dealing with it and what they are discussing (or eating in the Hobbit's case).

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-04-2006, 06:08 AM

Last day of voting for the Singing Elves Game.

Once this challenge is over, I'm issuing a pit stop. This is because so many are dropping out due to workloads and posts are getting shorter.

The Pit stop will last from June 5th until 1 July.

If anyone objects, do say so. I know a lot of people are on exams at the moment, I am one of these people and can understand that it can be an aggravating time.

Meneltarmacil · 06-04-2006, 07:40 PM

I'm quite sorry. I didn't have any exams, I was just negligent in my duties. So no excuse for me.

Once again, I'm really sorry.
