Heres what I have in mind- Reply to my post with any ideas you have, it'll be up soon.

Don't blame me! I'm not the one who left all the money in an easily accessible pocket am I?

Good post, Sleepy!
I can just imagine Saruman doing some Disco moves!

By the way folks, I've hidden some secret bonus places around. Some will jump you forward, some will knock you back and some will make you sick. Watch out for them!
If you end up on one, I’ll PM you with the situation and when all things are sorted, I’ll post Dwarfy’s commentary on what happens.

Well, THAT's just not fair, Hookbill... unless the taxi lands on one, in which case it's all good.

By the way, I'd like to officially say that I'm really amused by all the posts thus far. Everyone's got such a high quality of humour and writing.

Bag-Endless, in particular, I enjoyed the parody of Bilbo's life and times. Beautiful material there. I must confess, though, that I though you had run out of material after that first post- but it seems I was wrong! Here's to more! From everybody.

(P.S. What does the winning team get at the finish line? First dibs on Modding the first race that Hookbill and Nilp decline? Or is that a consolation prize? Either way, I'd love a shot at it- although if you think this discussion should wait until after this game is mostly over, then I'll clam up now. But it's a testimony to your genius that I'm already hankering after your jobs- while thoroughly enjoying my own... I'd rep you, but Werewolf has currently sapped my power in that field)

(P.P.S. Nilp, where are you? You're missing all the fun!)

(P.P.P.S. Which came first: Hookbill's "Who will win the Big Race?" signature or the idea for the came? Because the sig only had four vehicles...)

I've not decided on a prise yet. What do WW winners get?

I'm told he's a little under the weather at the moment.

That is interesting. I made that picture with the idea of some kind of game. But I thought it would be far too insane for anyone else to enjoy. But then, out of the blue, Nilp PMs me with 'An Idea'. Because I'd already given so much thought to this, it wasn't long before this thing came about.

I'm not sure... I'm still waiting for it to come in the mail...

I believe I've heard the same... but I've also heard he was communing with a stuffed animal, so I'm not sure if I believe the source...

I wondered if something like that might have been the case...

Anyway, enough offtopic chatting... I should get back to play (er, work) on getting past- or at least getting TO- the troll.

With the first Challenge having started, feel free to start betting. Betting closes once voting opens, though, so if you're going to bet, bet now. If you lose the first challenge, then your score will be negative. Remember, highest score at the end of the game wins the side challenge bets.

Personally, I'm putting 15 points on Orth-Tank.

(Hookbill, since you never opposed the idea, I'm assuming you're okay with this.)

It’s very much your own choice on how the betting system goes.


Well, it looks like Medel Zoom is the first to pass the Challenge of the Troll, and very well done it was also. Monty Python is a sure vote winner!
Valier, I need to know which direction Medel-Zoom will be taking now.

[Edit] Okay, so Minas Taxi is heading West. Good, good.
Orth Tank going southwest. Sleepy, that was an interesting series of events.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

The Facts so far.


So, lets look at it so far. What is the status of our Vehicles in the Challenge?

Mount Zoom = Not Done.

Bag Endless-fuel = Not Done.

Orth-Tank = Done. Troll Eaten by Evil Hamsters. (Going South West)

Barad-Dash = Done. Troll squished by fake eye. (Going South West)

Medul-zoom = Done. Troll killed by Evil Beast in rabbit form. (South West)

Minas Mor-go = Done. Troll Killed by Tra-la-lally Elves.

Minas Taxi = Done. Troll turned to stone. (Going West)

As soon as everyone is done, I'll open the voting. Watch this space, folks!
