Well, as Driver of Minas Taxi, I say extend to us the punishment we deserve... Sure, it was a busy weekend... but rules is rules. If I stand for solid deadlines when they suit me, I stand by them when they don't.

Gil-Galad · 07-11-2006, 07:08 AM

yeah i was just going to ask because now i have about 2-3 hours a day on my brothers laptop if hes not home and i plan on trying to make up for the next challenges... but i guess now that i'm disqualified... agai nsorry things here have been hectic (brothers getting married, garage sale, alot of crazy things happening...) and Morsul hasn't anwsered my PM's.

its a shame because i have really great ideas too

Maeggaladiel · 07-12-2006, 12:26 AM

Hey guys, I'm back. I know this is late, but I'm working on a post for the latest challenge, if you'll allow me to ignore the deadline. I just got back on Monday, and I didn't think to look online until tonight. But I'll post if I can, and it'll be within the half-hour.

EDITED POST! Now the horses are gone and we're heading northwest.

Valier · 07-12-2006, 01:57 AM

Sorry about not posting. Boromir was supposed to send me some of our script and he did not.

I really don't know if I am up for continuing. I for one did not want the month pit stop. All my ideas are dried up and I'm not sure if I can come up with something good. I will wait to hear from Boromir(Theoden) before I decide.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-12-2006, 02:35 AM

Don’t worry Valier; I'm sure you'll think of something.

Right, with Mount Zoom finished as well, I'm going to open the voting now.

You have until Saturday 15th July.

All this has been a good learning experience. If MZC2 goes ahead, I think I'll advise its moderator to make it shorter, as in, make the players move further after each challenge. I think this game's main problem has been how slowly it is going.
We'll need a fixed time limit for each challenge, a maximum number of challenges and so be able to work out how long the game will take.

Gil-Galad · 07-12-2006, 07:08 AM

hey valier, if you want help with scripts let me know cause since i'm disqualified all my ideas are just sitting here now...

If you still want to be involved, Gil, you can be our backup guy! When others drop out, of need time off, you can step in.

Also, if you want, you can write an explanation as to how Barad Dash comes to a halt. Otherwise, I'll have it fired into space.

Glirdan · 07-12-2006, 10:18 AM

CURSES!!! Sorry Master for not posting anything!! I'm such a terrible Mouth... Well, I guess that's what happen when you babysit for a summer job...

However, I'm happy that you are back Master!! Because this means I don't have to come up with a reason for your dissapearence! Glad to have you back! Now, command me!!

Hmm, am I still allowed to post the conclusion for Minas Taxi's way to survive the challenge? Unfortunately, I haven't had time to type it up before now, and of course, it's only fair if some sort of punishment will follow, but I'd still like to rescue Denethor, Faramir & co. from the horses.

Why not? Go on ahead.

Maeggaladiel · 07-12-2006, 11:31 PM

Ha. Know how I was saying that I'm healthy enough to participate in stuff now? Well. Two hours after posting that latest Mt. Zoom challenge, I found myself in the Emergency Room with pretty bad chest pain, getting x-rayed to see if I had yet another collapsed lung. I think I did; it's in the process of healing itself right now. (I hope.) But I'm not in the hospital now and I didn't need any surgery, so things should continue to go as planned.

I think Saruon is causing me bad luck.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-16-2006, 12:59 AM

End of Voting.

Okay, lets look at the results before we get onto the next challenge.

MOUNT ZOOM = 2

Bag-Endlessfule = 3

Orth-Tank = 7

Barad-Dash = 0

Medel-zoom = 0

Minas Mor-go = 0

Minas Taxi = 0

So, Orth Tank goes off a little more! Wee!

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-16-2006, 01:07 AM

Well, well.

Bag Endless fuel is on the verge of victory! Unless, of course, there is a nasty Bonus on the way...

So, locations...

MOUNT ZOOM = Foot of Blue Mountains

Bag-Endlessfule = South of South Downs

Orth-Tank = South Endwraith

Medel-zoom = Minhirath

Minas Mor-go = Banks of Brandywine

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-20-2006, 03:31 AM

Enough people have finished for us to continue. Wow, must be the first time we've not had an extension in ages.

MOUNT ZOOM = Done - Sauron's soul sucks.

Bag-Endlessfule = Done - Not enough tresure

Orth-Tank = Done - Vacume cleaner ala ghost busters.

Medel-zoom = Not done

Minas Mor-go = Not Done

Minas Taxi = Done - The Wights are used to help.

Well then, that's that...

The Votes are now open! You have until Sunday 23rd July.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-24-2006, 05:05 AM

End of voting...

Mount Zoom = 2 points

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-24-2006, 06:46 AM

Don't worry, Mr Saucepan, Nilp and I decided that whoever came first in this would participate in...

Da da da DAAAR!...

Glirdan · 07-25-2006, 02:05 PM

Galadriel55 · 11-14-2010, 08:25 PM

How in Middle Earth is such a good thread dead?

Mnemosyne · 11-14-2010, 09:09 PM
