It is the latter. I'd have thought everyone would have guessed that.

Maeggaladiel · 04-20-2006, 01:02 PM

Well, I'm back at last, to reclaim my spot at the wheel of Mt. Zoom. Glirdan and I are working on our latest evil scheme, and we're a bit behind schedule due to my absence. Give us a bit, and we'll be ready. Shouldn't take too long, though. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Morsul the Dark · 04-20-2006, 01:23 PM

I wonder if Gil and I will ever think of a nonvielent solution to a challenge

....probably not but hey thats why were orc/really evil old guy people

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-20-2006, 02:17 PM

Welcome back, Maeggaladiel!

Don't worry; you have till Friday (well, probably Saturday morning) to finish Challenge number three.

Keep goin' folks! There are some bonuses ahead, by the way.

No Promises... when i'm in command every mission is a suicide mission!

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-23-2006, 01:40 AM

If any players want to add to their adventure before the official closing of the challenge, they can. Perhaps to increase amusement or further character development.

Lets look at things so far...

Mount Zoom = Not Done

Bag Endless-fuel = Done - Fixed by magic (Heading to High Pass)

Orth-Tank = Done - They got by with a little help from their friends.

(On Bonus)

Barad-Dash = Done - Slaves used as wheel (South West)

Medul-zoom = Not Done

Minas Mor-go = Not done

Minas Taxi = Done - Porcupines defeated by... cows?

I rather agree with Formy, particularly since I should really have been working instead of formulating my final post for B-E-F.

So I am in favour of a strictly enforced time limit. However, given that everyone had RL committments, given that some of us have time zone issues in communicating with our team-mates, and also given the increasingly high standard of the posts, might I suggest that we all be given a fair few days at least (four or five?) per challenge. This should allow all teams sufficient time to get through the challenge.

It will delay proceedings, I know, but I'm enjoying it immensely and so have no problem with it being drawn out slightly.

I don't think you have anything to worry about, Hookbill. It's goin' great so far!

PS - I think that Minas Taxi is done.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-23-2006, 05:48 AM

I think the next challenge is going to be rather difficult, so expect a rather lengthy time limit. It may help if all the players inform me of what Time zone they are in so I can work with it.
My original idea was that each challenge (including voting time) would take slightly less than a week. We shall see.

The fourth challenge will probably last a week for posting and probably about 3 days for voting.

Ah, yes, Minas Taxi is done and I did note it down before. No idea why I didn't record it. Thanks for pointing it out, Master Saucepan.

Sleepy Ranger · 04-23-2006, 05:57 AM

I'm in GMT +3 (+2 at the moment since we don't follow DST). Also, since it messes up what Mendel and I had planned would it be possible for us to get out off this bonus in a creative way? (ie; we'd post a post on how we get away from it and then you decide whether or not it gets the job done)

Thanks!

Noted.

No you can't get out of it!

The Bonuses are both good and bad, you can't chose to ignore the bad ones! Deal with it, you may be the first to come to one, but you won't be the last!
Sorry.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-23-2006, 11:58 PM

Okay, folks, voting is open!

I'll close the polls on Wednesday morning GMT.

Lets remind ourselves of what happened...

***

MOUNT ZOOM = Stone Troll made into wheel

Bag-Endless-fule = Fixed by magic

Orth-Tank = The Beatles lend a hand.

Barad-Dash = Slaves used as wheel

Medel-zoom = Golden wheels!

Minas Mor-go = They are flying!

Minas Taxi = Porcupines defeated by... cows?

***

Good luck everyone. By the way... if you win this challenge, you will avoid any bonuses that may be ahead... Just thought I'd let you know...

Kuruharan · 04-24-2006, 06:09 PM

++ Minas Taxi...because all military operations need to have cryptic and distinctive code names.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-26-2006, 11:35 PM

Bong!

End of Voting, peoples! And that was close!

Player voted = 2 points
Non player votes = 1 point

MOUNT ZOOM = 2 votes

Bag-Endless-fuel = 6 votes

Orth-Tank = 6 points

Barad-Dash = 2 points

Medel-zoom = 0 point

Minas Mor-go = 4 points

Minas Taxi = 9 points

So Minas Taxi wins the porcupine challenge! The forth will be up soon!

For Challenge Number 4 you have until Friday 5th May. That’s a little over a week. If everyone is done before then, I'll open voting.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-27-2006, 12:01 AM

Location guide:

Mount Zoom = Drúwaith Laur

Bag Endless-fuel = Drúwaith Laur

Orth-Tank = Entwash

Barad-Dash = Bank of Galladen River

Medul-zoom = Foot of Misty Mountains

Minas Mor-go = Foot of Misty Mountains

Minas Taxi = Foot of Mount Gundabad

Sleepy Ranger · 04-29-2006, 06:11 AM

I'm really sorry but Menel, you're on your own for now. Due to unexpected real life problems I've been left incapable of providing any aid. Maybe I'll be able to come back before the deadline and make a post but for now its best you carry on without me.

-Sleepy Ranger

Farael · 04-29-2006, 11:23 AM

I'll PM Valier about this but I seem to have come down with something, probably a cold. I should be alright soon but I won't be doing much writing for a couple of days. Just wanted to let you know.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-01-2006, 02:52 AM

Good Lord, it seems that a lot of people are having trouble this week.

Well, you still have until Friday to finish the challenge. Although I'd prefer it to be before, so we can move on with the race as quickly as possible.
By the way, Mount Zoom and Bag Endless-fuel, you don’t necessarily have to have lost your vehicles. But I’m intrigued now as to how Sauron will react to finding his precious mountain in a spider web.

Well, I can't speak for the other drivers or assistants, but in the case Minas Tazi, the drivers have been made somewhat apathetic by the long deadline... putting it back only means that we procrastinators have that much longer to leave things.

Don't worry, we'll get to it in time...

Oh. I guess I missread that. Ah well, it'll be fun having Sauron handle this problem in his own... ahem... special way.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-16-2006, 01:18 PM

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.

Formendacil · 05-16-2006, 02:44 PM

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.

Maeggaladiel · 05-16-2006, 04:42 PM

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!

Valier · 05-17-2006, 03:48 PM

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

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-18-2006, 01:32 AM

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... -_-

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-21-2006, 01:51 AM

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 is now open!

Voting will close on Tuesday 23rd May.

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

Maeggaladiel · 05-22-2006, 11:29 AM

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.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-22-2006, 12:15 PM

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.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-01-2006, 03:01 PM

I've no problems with your method, as long as you get the challenge done and you think it will win votes, I see no problems.

If I'm honest, I had no idea of how long this game would take when it began! I knew it would probably be lengthy, but so far it has gone on longer than I expected. (I blame these extended deadlines).

Glirdan · 06-01-2006, 04:53 PM

Apologies (once again) as I have become busy. My final exams are coming up in a month so it's "crack down time" as we call it and I've gotten busy with a whole bunch of things. I will try to get back to posting, but I don't know how possible that will be. But I don't think it would be a wise decision for me to drop out at the same time as my Master, so I shall stay.

Master, it's sad to see you go. May things get better for you.

So, finishing that off, I'd like to say I NEED A MASTER AND QUICK!!!

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-02-2006, 12:31 AM

Well it is exam time at the moment, so perhaps a break would be wise at some time soon. If those taking exams could inform me of when their last exam will be, I can get an idea of when to set up a little 'pit-stop' for the MZC.

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. __________________ I think that if you want facts, then The Downer Newspaper is probably the place to go. I know! I read it once.

If I'm honest, I had no idea of how long this game would take when it began! I knew it would probably be lengthy, but so far it has gone on longer than I expected. (I blame these extended deadlines). __________________ I think that if you want facts, then The Downer Newspaper is probably the place to go. I know! I read it once.

My final exams are coming up in a month so it's "crack down time" as we call it and I've gotten busy with a whole bunch of things. I will try to get back to posting, but I don't know how possible that will be. But I don't think it would be a wise decision for me to drop out at the same time as my Master, so I shall stay. Master, it's sad to see you go. May things get better for you. So, finishing that off, I'd like to say I NEED A MASTER AND QUICK!!! __________________ *I'm going to buy you a kitty, I'm going to let you fall in love with the kitty, and one cold, winter night, I'm going to steal into your house and punch you in the face!* Fenris Wolf

If those taking exams could inform me of when their last exam will be, I can get an idea of when to set up a little 'pit-stop' for the MZC. __________________ I think that if you want facts, then The Downer Newspaper is probably the place to go.
