It's now time for the FIRST Power of Veto Competition.



This competition will test your mettle and your vocabulary.

Below is a field of eggs. You each have your own field, but the fields are identical. Each round, you will call for the coordinates of an egg. Inside these eggs will be either a letter of the alphabet, nothing, or if you're lucky, one have-not pass that exempts you from being a future Have-Not for one week. Your goal is to before the time limit, collect enough letters to form a word. You will want to submit this word either by PM or posting it in the thread. Houseguest with the longest word wins. If anyone ties, we go to a tie-breaker. Houseguests ready?



Begin!

I missed three rounds already. Figured this was a game and we could have fun. I'll just self evict

You can, it's just during timed challenges such as these, I'm mostly working on my own, and theres a lot of people unfamiliar with TG who play, and get confused when joke answers are thrown around. I have a co-mod running things who told me you had submitted an answer, this resulted in me closing the tab I had your PM box open in. You're free to have fun and goof around, just a little tact and understanding in why we need some rules in place is all I ask.

LESS THAN TWO MINUTES FOR KONTOUR AND VESKIT TO SUBMIT A WORD


Hurt's word has been accepted, he'll take a seat

STING 64
Oct 20, 2006

We have a tie. Kontour has submitted safetying, which is 9 letters, and is indeed confirmed as a transitive verb by Merriam-Webster.


Dr. Hurt has submitted Stoccados, which is also a valid word.


Here is our tie-breaker. You have ONE MINUTE to answer it. Are you ready?

STING 64

Okay. Here is your tiebreaker. How many individual posters were made fun of in the Have/Have Not competition?

12 is exactly correct! Dr.Hurt, you have won the power of Veto.

STING 64
Oct 20, 2006

Power of Veto meeting will be held tomorrow at 6:00PM. Only people that need to be present are the HOH, Veto Holder, and the incumbent Nominees. So Hurt, Veskit, and Kontour, need you dudes around for tomorrow.

It is now time for the live veto meeting.



Dr. Hurt, please rise.


I want to use this time to give both nominees, Veskit and Kontour a chance to plead their case. They only have one minute to do so. After that one minute, it will be up to Dr. Hurt if he wishes to use the Power of Veto.

STING 64
Oct 20, 2006

Alright, they had their chance to plead their case. Dr. Hurt, do you wish to use the Power of Veto?

Veskit, you have been removed from the chopping block. Dr.Hurt, as one of your nominees has just been vetoed, you must now name a replacement nominee.
