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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
