So, people, what do we do? I don't want to extend the deadline any further, but if I don't then, I'm afraid, Barrad Dash will be disqualified for failing to complete the last 4 challenges.


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

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. :p

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. :p
