Still, they wandered the desolate plains of Mars. There weren't even any Mars Trees! But the empty solitude was a welcome respite from the chaos of both the moon and earth. It was quiet and calm, and for a time, Fredrick found himself at peace. He felt everything slip away, descend into the blissful embrace of oblivion.

I'm trying to work out what Jeremy's favourite drink is. Something old fashioned and sophisticated, no doubt. I don't think it's scotch and I'm sure it's not whiskey. Oh, I got it. It's Bourbon, you pretentious knob.

"There is nothing," said Fredrick. "Nothing is this entire empty place."

"There never was anything," said a voice. "This is all the delusions of a mad man. You have no substance, no reality. There is no grounding."

The voice continued, "The maker breathed onto clay and shaped you. He fashioned you into a little toy soldier. And he sent you to fight his wars. But the maker is nothing but a child. He is a boy trying to be a man and trying to ape his betters."

SUBJECT CHANGE !

YOUR NEW SUBJECTS

MEINBERG: A day in the life of Chenbot.

RARITY: A day in the life of Zingbot.

I'm sure you both remember those two rascals from their appearances earlier in the thread! Five dollar foot long sentences per post, please.

Fredrick shook his head. He refused to believe. "No," he cried to the heavens. "I refuse to believe your words!"

"And yet," said the voice. "Even your rebellion is childish and ineffectual."

Zingbot is by far the best of all the robots. Just one day for him equates to any other robots entire life. Let me tell you about the hookers, let me tell you about the blow. But that happy facade his a painful secret. All will be revealed tonight.

Chenbot awoke. "But first," her electronic voice echoed out over the plains. She checked her hair: perfect as always. She strode forth to her control room. There waited the robo-servitors who constantly watched the streams.

Zingbot's day begins as any other robot's. He wakes up in his bed made of gold, covered in a big pile of money. Despite his success Zingbot remains grounded. He only orders three hookers a night. No more than the normal amount.

So now that it's over, let me tell you the story of my ankle. At about 4:20 I realised I could open my bedroom window, jump outside and smoke while still posting through the window. I live on the ground floor so it was a great plan. Only problem was that the ground dips sharp at the edge of the building and it was pitch black. So I jump down, don't expect such a long drop and end up rolling my ankle hardcore. I spend the next 10 minutes with my head swimming, my ankle killing me, my vision blurred and feeling like I want to throw up. And I still kept up posting even though it took me ages just to type the words right. And then my head gets so hosed up that I just fall backwards onto my back without warning or control. Which was really a good thing coz the pain jolted my head back to normal. And then I hauled myself back up and kept posting. This challenge was loving nuts.

Here's what happened.

Surprise SUBJECT CHANGE !

YOUR NEW SUBJECTS

MEINBERG: Terrifying moments from your childhood. They need not be true. In fact, it's probably better if they're not.

RARITY: Congratulations! You've won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry! Deliver a Nobel acceptance speech in which you explain to all those old nerdos that flight is a better superpower than invisibility.

We're now up to a five sentence minimum. I'm sure it will stop rising eventually.

This post was made at :49, at the bottom of the page. but AHM immediately on the next page posted a disclaimer

A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:

I posted on the last page! I'm posting again so you don't miss it! That would be a shame!

Rarity posted:

Son of a bitch! He managed to escape! What is he, Houidini? I think I'm moving to Alaska.

Rarity made this old topic spillover post at :51, which is fine. After this post, the disclaimer from AHM would have been visible to her, and she should have gone to check the new subject. However, she stayed on the old subect for three more posts. One more would have been arguable, but three, without seeing the disclaimer, at that point is at the player's responsibility. Should I not DQ her for those posts and just invalidate all off-topic posts after the first one, her first on-topic post

Rarity posted:

I've won the Nobel Prize! Who knew? Who would have thought that I, a humble B-grade chemistry student, could ever have got this far? I must admit, it was more luck than skill. Let me explain to you, my fellow scholars, how it happened.

(Ugh, the subject change was last post on the previous page. I missed it)

doesn't occur until :57, which is six minutes later.


Rarity, I'm really sorry, I am, but I have to reverse the decision here :(

Meinberg advances to the finals.

Rarity, you will still have a shot to make it there tonight.

Because of this turn of events, and to give everyone time to adequately prepare, I'm moving the challenge to tomorrow at 6:00pm.

I was definitely confused that Rarity kept going for so long after the subject change, in spite of the reminder of subject change.

That said, I don't mind that she won in the end. If this decision is still open to mediation, I am perfectly willing to have Rarity advance and have me challenge Uniballer today or tomorrow.

For gently caress's sake, I was in so much pain I could barely focus. When I replied it went straight to the next page and it was all I could do just to get type sentences into a reply. I was too out of it to notice. gently caress everything.

After conferring with the rest of the staff based on A HUNGRY MOUTH making a ruling himself during the challenge, and Meinberg's wishes, and other extenuating circumstances, we have decided to go ahead and award the competition to Rarity.

I want to go ahead and apologize to everyone—contestants, viewers, and mods—for the messy resolution. That was one hell of an endurance challenge and I don't want it to be remembered as a fiasco. Robin Williams deserves better.

Hey Meinberg, what do you say instead we just redo the whole competition tonight? :v:

Ok, I guess I should say something serious. I know Meinberg felt lovely about being rewarded the win and now I feel lovely about being rewarded the win. I'm sorry that my idiotic desire to have a smoke has caused a whole load of bad feelings for all of us. Thank you to the game mods for giving the whole matter full consideration and best of luck to both Meinberg and Uni in tomorrow's competition. I know you're both going to bring it hard.

This is the beginning of Part Two of the HOH Competition. I have supplied a 10x10 grid below. This challenge will be a time trial. Invited to a separate document, the player will be guessing coordinates to uncover halves of a player's avatar. The goal is for the player to uncover all of the halves of each prior evicted houseguest through guesswork in the doc, and when the player has collected all 22 halves, they will in order from earliest evicted post the avatars in full. It is up to them to supply the avatars themselves. Winner of this challenge advances to the finals against Rarity. As usual, no out of thread communication or collusion is permitted.
