For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

PM, thanks (so nobody can claim their idea was stolen... etc etc)

You've still got 3 hours and 30 minutes to finish the task.

Sun May 15, 2005 1:41 pm

Thanks, wis. I owe you one.

Sun May 15, 2005 3:17 pm

Hm... you do realize that deadline has passed, do you? Because I got the flags from 2 teams only.

Sun May 15, 2005 3:38 pm

Passed? Isn't it
Due date will be Sunday, 4 pm GMT
?

If I'm not mistaken, that's in half an hour...? Unless GMT observes DST...

Aaah, ok... I always get confused with that :P sorry, you've still got time.

Sun May 15, 2005 3:56 pm

Okay, thank God :P I submitted ours, Urth and YesItIsh, so no worries XD

Unless you guys submitted one already O_O

I'm trying to sort things out for the next task... by the way, now time should be out, correct me if I'm wrong.

Task 1 results
It's somehow depressing, but only 3 teams submitted a flag. This means that 4 people are going to leave us...

Team 1 didn't submit a flag. You've got 24 hours to PM me who will be eliminated.
Team 2 Image
Team3 didn't submit a flag. You've got 24 hours to PM me who will be eliminated.
Team 4 Image
Team 5 Image
Team 6 didn't submit a flag. You've got 24 hours to PM me who will be eliminated.
Team 7 didn't submit a flag. You've got 24 hours to PM me who will be eliminated.

Since I'm feeling good, every team who finished the task will get 5 papayas.
Task 2 will be up soon.

Sun May 15, 2005 5:16 pm

Oh dear, oy, thought it was 4PM NST...

Sun May 15, 2005 5:18 pm

Seems that I managed to confuse people with deadlines :P Since I was confused myself, I'll accept team 3's entry as well...

But you'll get 3 papayas only.
Now off you go with task 2!

Task 2: Quote-hunting
The following 10 sentences are all from Neopets.
1. Only eight Poogles are allowed to join at any one time, and for this reason it is a very honourable position.
2. Make sure you feed them regularly and never ever get them wet...
3. Today a new feature was added where your pet sends you a card when its your birthday.
4. It's run by Borri, here. He's a mighty wizard!
5. Greetings. We are *whirr* just a couple of poor starving *bzzzz* miners.
6. Not only is it an expensive, delectable treat, the golden carrot is great for face and body.
7. Having returned from another successful adventure, Hannah decided to boast... erm... tell everybody the story of how she survived the pirate caves.
8. Her most brilliant idea was to send her daughter to cast a spell over King Skarl with a magical dance, it worked very well too.
9. If you want your Petpet to get ahead, it must be well equiped!
10. To the north-east of Neopia Central is a large lake formed within the caldera of a long-dormant volcano.

What to do:
You must PM me the exact page a quote is from.
You don't have to guess them all in a single message, you can send multiple PMs.
Eliminations:
The team who guesses less quotes will lose a member.
In case of a tie, the team who sent their PM first will be spared.
Reward:
You'll get a papaya for every sentence you guess right.
Deadline:
Tuesday, 4 pm GMT.

For any question, just ask.

Sun May 15, 2005 5:51 pm

Guys, I already got 3 sentences done. I'll handle this.

Sun May 15, 2005 6:05 pm

I didn't see it... sorry :P
Time was a combo word, you get 3 papayas for this.

Also, since I didn't send REs yesterday, today you've got a double chance of getting one.

Sun May 15, 2005 6:18 pm

That was so easy. We just hope none of you submitted yours :evil:

Lalala. Dementophobia :evil:

xD! So lucky. In that case, I think you missed giving us three papayas. Man, if only I could have gotten on earlier. Y_______Y Not fair! Oh well. I hate Sundays anyways. Y___Y Might as well hate Sunday's more. But Sunday comics are awesome. However, the main library not having the Sunday comic for Boston Globe was not cool. We could have won by more! Not that it matters. We won anyways. Yah, now I'm rambling. Deal with it. xD
