I had reached a point where I had four different possible answers, but had yet to begin doing any of the image editing, which takes forever for me.

Yeah, I was still compiling answers. Honestly, I think I would have been screwed no matter what. I was so slow compared to the last image editing one.

Ok guys, here's the deal. Tomorrow I'm going to have to make a decision between two people who I've come to consider friends over the course of this game. Not only have I had a great time playing with both of you, I know that I wouldn't have made it to the final 4 without either of you. Asiina, Meinberg, I really value the friendship that I've shared with you guys and I don't want to ruin it by having our final day in this game with one of you to turn into a hot mess of backbiting, manipulating and gameplaying. That's why I'm going to ask you guys not to talk about this choice with me. If you want to say anything that you think could effect my decision then please PM me, I promise I will read anything and give it fair consideration. I hope you guys can appreciate how hard it will be to choose between the two of you.

Fair enough.

I promise, sincerely and actually, that I won't be bitter. Make the decision that you think is best.

Let's be cool until then, though.

This is the final Power of Veto meeting. As usual, we will give both nominees a moment to convince Rarity if she is to use the Power of Veto. After that time passes, I will ask Rarity her decision. After she renders her decision, we will then move to the eviction ceremony. Meinberg, Asiina, the floor is yours.

Eviction 10



It's time for the final Eviction. Meinberg, Asiina, this is the time to make your final pleas, as Rarity will be the only one voting. You each only get one post, so make it count. After both posts have been made, Rarity, in this thread, you will name who you wish to evict, at which point they will only have a few moments to say goodbye, and walk out the front door.

It has been a long road, and each step grows heavier as the weight of endings lays upon us. Tonight only three march forward. Soon, only two will be left on the path.

Then shall be one.

For the last time, the power is up for grabs. The final Head of Household competition is not one, not two, but three different legs. Here is how this format is going to work.

All three of you will compete in the first leg tonight. The winner of tonight's challenge will advance directly to the finals. The other two players, will compete in the second leg tomorrow night. The winner of that leg will then join the winner of the first leg in the finals on Sunday evening. After the final part concludes and the final HOH is crowned, that person will make the final eviction, guaranteeing themselves a spot in the final two and a chance at the $50, or in Rarity's case, $75 amazon.com prize.


In this first leg, we've seen that you guys like to chat. So that is precisely what we will do. This first part is known as "Fill a Busta". All three of you will be required to make a post every 5 minutes. You can post in frequencies faster than that, but you must make one post at most 5 minutes apart from your last one. Any longer, and you are eliminated from this competition.

SPECIFIC RULES, READ ME. REALLY, READ THE BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT READ THE BELOW, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ELIMINATION
  • Spelling and end punctuation will count. Don't be pedantic about color or colour, all three forms of English are acceptable here.
  • You cannot plagiarize, not even paraphrasingly or partially. You need to be making one hundred percent original thoughts here. This includes not being allowed to take a post you made earlier and changing words around.
  • You will be required to post about certain subjects during each hour, individual to you and in this thread. I want you to post your thoughts, opinions, concerns, interests, etc about each subject. When I or another mod issues a subject change, if your post on a prior subject accidentally spills over into the new subject, that is okay. We're not sadists after all.
  • No quoting allowed at all.
  • As usual, no out of thread communication is permitted.
  • Spectators, please refrain from posting during this competition.



This competition will officially start when I give you three your subjects of discussion. TAKE THIS TIME TO READ THE RULES UP AND DOWN, VERY CAREFULLY.

UNIBALLER: YOUR SUBJECT OF THE HOUR IS The Sega Genesis/SNES Console Wars of the 90s

Let us begin.

Perhaps the most visible of all comic book turned blockbuster is the Christopher Nolan Batman series.

Some say that Nolan's movies really have made the comic book mainstream, due to the high quality of the performances and cinematography.

That said, Batman is perhaps a bad model moving forward. Batman does not, in and of himself, bend the laws of physics or include elements of speculative fiction.

Instead, I believe that the Avengers movie is really the place to look, in terms of seeing how Hollywood and the consumer market has reacted to the emergence of the comic book movie.
