I may have forgotten to bold it, but it's there at the bottom of my last post: Minas Taxi is going due West.

WANTED:

Someone to play a silly old man, named Theoden.

Come on.....you know you want to!:D :p

Not all of us have nice long summer holidays to idle away the hours, you know ... :rolleyes: ;)

<<<will be the silly old man named Theoden if you are still looking Valier. :p

I am still looking and would be glad to have you as Theoden Boromir88! I think Hookbill was on the look out, but you can pm him and let him know you would like to play. He will be putting names in a hat and drawing one to see who the new Theoden will be.

Okay, that’s the end of that challenge. Lets remind ourselves of how they got on...

Mount Zoom = Done - Spider swatted with giant Newspaper (North West)

Bag Endless-fuel = Done - The File of Galadriel as well as many punny things :rolleyes: (North West)

Orth-Tank = Lawyer kills spider (WEST)

Barad-Dash = Done - Freed by Dwarfy (South West)

Medul-zoom = Done - Drugged up spider tricked with 'shinning'. (To High Pass)

Minas Mor-go = Done - Swords cut web while #4 fired on catapult (To High Pass)

Minas Taxi = Done - Dancing Spawn let them go due to lack of taste. (West)

***

Boromir88, you have my permission to play as Théoden! Eomer turned down the post and the only other person I had in mind was Nilp, but I've already told him where all the Bonuses are. So, we can't have him! :eek:

I did say 'MORE' people might be able to post. Not everyone, if you're going to be pedantic. :p
But you, saucepan, seem to be getting the challenges posted for in good time. In fact, Bag Endless fuel is the most reliable so far. Could be a vote winner.


VOTING IS OPEN.
Will close on Wednesday 10th May

Spawn, Denethor, Faramir, Húrin, Beregond, Ioreth, Bergil, Mablung, Damrod, and I resent that!

:P

So there!

Who to vote for? Who to vote for?

Voting...

Boromir the Disco King lives on.
 

:D

++Minas Taxi

EDIT: I'm planning to do a Top Gear-style analysis of the vehicles involved in this challenge. Can I post it here?

I'm warning you, I will bash some vehicles--not literally, of course--, but please don't take offence.

There is much global speculation on the identity of the Stig.

Be my guest.

By the way, people, with the time for exams ect, I'm thinking of putting in a 'pit stop' here and there. A little break when the exam period is at its height. I, for one, am about to begin my A2 exams, is anyone else involved such?

Voting is still open, folks. I'll close it on Thursday Morning, around 07:30 GMT.

Boromir88 is officially Théoden.

You can still post on the Game if you wish; to further your story, or (in Boromir´s case) get used to your characters.

I've just finished devising the next challenge, by the way. *evil grin* It's going to be a good one, expect the unexpected.

Are non-players still aloud to vote? If so I have just read through this challenge and I would like to vote for

++Medul-Zoom

I thought the shinning thing was freakin' hilarious!! :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...mba/Dwarfy.jpg Voting Ends!

Well, a good few votes came in at the last minuet, but the end was still rather close!
Lets tale a look, shall we?

Player votes = 2 points
non player votes = 1 point

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...oomba/Zoom.jpg MOUNT ZOOM = 1 point

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ndlessfule.jpg Bag-Endless-fule = 6 points

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../Orth-tank.jpg Orth-Tank = 4 Points

So, once again, Bag Endless-fuel is victorious!

P.S. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but on the maps I have carefully removed Mount Doom, Barad Dur and Minas Tirith. (I forgot about Orthank and Minas Morgul till just now). I thought it was a good little joke.

Location guide
 

So, where are they all?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...oomba/Zoom.jpg MOUNT ZOOM = South Enedwaith

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../Minastaxi.jpg Minas Taxi = Just past Mount Gundaband

The next challenge will be up shortly.

I'm watchin' you!
 

Dear oh dear! Is no one going to get those Balrogs out of the basements?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ndlessfule.jpg Bag Endless fuel is the only one that is done so far.

Tomorrow is the last day, folks! Get them posts up! :o

Tomorrow? Oh dear, I thought we had till Friday! But no fear, Menel and I shall have it done. :)

Well, if there are only one or two who are finished by the end of tomorrow, I will extend the deadline, but those who are already finished will get a three point head start in the voting.

I for one would hate to see an extention...Medel-Zoom will definately be done by tomorrow, we are just putting the final touches on the ending before we post it.

EDIT: We are now finished!:D Enjoy!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...mba/Dwarfy.jpg Look here!

Okay, so far we have...

Mount Zoom = Not Done

Bag Endless-fuel = Done - The Balrog could not pass! (North)

Orth-Tank = Not Done

Barad-Dash = Not Done

Medul-zoom = Done - Dwarf bots and Théoden pokes (North West)

Minas Mor-go = Not Done

Minas Taxi = Not Done

***

Is anyone else on exams at the moment? If you want me to put the pit stop in for a week or two, I'll be more than glad as I too have those blasted examings.

I'll have it done: no fear. Like I said before... I'm a procrastinator. The later the deadline, the later my results. I'll have the post in soon, assuming the deadline remains firm.

Mt. Zoom is still working on it.

Well, if the deadline HAS to be moved (believe me, I don't want to) then you'll get some extra points. If there are only 2 not done, then Dwarfy will sort them out.
Today is the last day, peoples!

***

Mount Zoom = Not Done

Bag Endless-fuel = Done - The Balrog could not pass! (North)

Orth-Tank = Not Done

Barad-Dash = Not Done

Medul-zoom = Done - Dwarf bots and Théoden pokes (North West)

Minas Mor-go = Not Done

Minas Taxi = Done - Faramir the White, uncloaked!

What time may I ask does the challenge end toDay? Or supposed to end I should say...:D

It was supposed to finish as soon as I got to the computer this morning. But alas, it seems there are still some who have not finished. Too many. I'm going to PM them.

Congrats to all those who have finished already, you will receive 3 points in the voting automatically.

The end date is moved back to Saturday 20th May.

Now, to those others... -_-

End of the Balrog Challenge!

Lets see what happened!

Mount Zoom - Rescued by Dwarfy

Bag Endless-fuel - He could not parse

Orth-Tank Done - Light Sabre fight

Barad-Dash - Rescued by Dwarfy

Medul-zoom - Dwarf bots

Minas Mor-go - Drowning and tilting

Minas Taxi - Faramir the white uncloaked


Voting will close on Tuesday 23rd May.

That should be "parse" ... :p ;)

So it should. Noted.

I think we need to interrogate the drivers of Barad Dash as to why they keep falling behind. Guards! Get the Duct Tape!

I regret to inform the general public that I may have to stand down from the helm of Mount Zoom. As some people are aware, health and school problems have already made me drop out of an RPG over in the Shire. I was hoping that things would be better by now, but so far there has been little improvement. And now I've missed the deadline for teh Mt Zoom Challenge, too. If things do not improve within the very near future, I'm afraid I shall have to give up my role as the Dark Lord and stick to the occasional Crazy Caption and nothing else.


Also- Glirdan, where are you, my copilot friend? I sent you a PM several weeks ago, and I still haven't heard from you.

It would indeed be sad to see you leave, Maeggaladiel. It seems that a doom has struck the Mount Zoom Challenge and all its players.

At the moment, we are still in the voting stage. Tomorrow will be the last day for voting. So, keep 'em coming.

The Miraculous return of Mouth
 

I have returned master!! I'm sorry, I got called away on duty and I didn't have time to leave a message or try again later ( :rolleyes: ). But I am back...until Wednsday. Then I'm gone until Thursday night. I'm sorry master!! Don't punish me!!! :eek: I hope you get well soon master. It would be sad to see you replaced... :(

Medul-Zoom is now rid of the Elves...Enjoy:p

Yes, that was an interesting piece of problem solving! :eek:


These extended time scales are not doing the trick, it seems. Maybe the next challenge should have a shorter time scale. :o
Come along, my hearties! One day more for the challenge to finish! Get those Elves out of your vehicles!

I've told you... deadlines and I are very close... but I shall have our challenge completed soon... if in a SOMEWHAT different style than usual. :p

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. :o
___

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 ;)

*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!!!:mad: 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.

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. :p

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! :eek:
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?

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