The Mighty HDC Battle Royale III

[IT the Traveler]

Greetings all members of HDC,

They thought he killed me.

They thought I was dead.

Forever.

Never to be resurrected again.

But through the continuous efforts of two creatures, a talking monkey called Zero who won the coveted HDC Battle Royale crown for the first time back in 2008, and who brought my remains back to the mainland to be resurrected, and my mysterious shaman, The Prophet...

I HAVE RISEN AGAIN!

And this little place will be the venue of my mission again. With a vengeance!

___V___ is under my spell. And he will pay dearly for what he did to me last year. Unless one of you wins HDC Battle Royale III and figures out a way to free him from my spell. Beware, if you fail, both you and ___V___ will die!

You all have been chosen to represent HDC in the THIRD edition of HDC BATTLE ROYALE. All of you have invitations in your PM boxes, and those of you who choose to accept this prestigious challenge will be drafted in. My apprentice here, __V__, will explain the rules and also be your esteemed host through HDC Battle Royale III, which will finish in crowning one of you as

HDC Battle Royale King/Queen

The redhead primate and my follower, Zero, won it the first time.

The blue wolf, Scouse Mac, won it the second time.

Do you have what it takes to thrown them off the throne and grab the crown this year? Let's see if you are brave (and smart) enough. Remember, the life of your precious ___V___ is also at stake this year, so let's see you come forward and free him.

You may confirm your participation in this thread. The numbers are limited to the first 20 for now, so hurry. Numbers may be increased if we have more confirmations to the Invitations in your PM boxes.

I will be revealing a lot of what lies ahead for all of you slowly, but for now just know this, even the confirmations in this thread play a big role in your outcome in this Battle.

[The_Return]

I'm in!

#10 for me, pretty please.

[ferretchucker]

I've sent you my confirmation.

[Doc Faustus]

Give me lucky 7 if it's open.

[fiend_skull]

I'm in, I've wondered what the HDC battle royale was for a while.

[_____V_____]

Your wishes are my command. Original list has been updated.

Welcome aboard, gentlemen. :)

[FreddyMyers]

Count me in.

[missmacabre]

Number 13 please.

[Dude Guadalupe]

I always seem to come back for this thing. I'm in.

[Rayne]

*sigh*...Ferret, Doc and MissMacabre already grabbed all of my numbers...So, just give me whatever no one else wants

[Despare]

I'm in at 19

[_____V_____]

Welcome aboard, folks. List has been duly updated.

Ready to crunch some bones with machetes, axes and chainsaws? ;)

[Freak]

I'm in at 17.

[ChronoGrl]

CONFIRM

And I'll take #17, please... MM took my luck number 13. :mad:

[Psycom5k]

I'd like to, but I don't really think I've got the time for it this year. Been too busy lately. So I believe I will have to pass.

[nightmare_of _death]

Count me in as well! I guess I'll take number 20

[friday13thfan]

I'm in. Just give me one that remains.

[bloody_ribcut]

i'll give it a try, number 9?

[_____V_____]

Welcome aboard, everyone.

Sorry Chrono, Freak asked for 17 first. I gave you 16.

If we have more confirmations, the total number will be increased. So go ahead and keep confirming your participations, folks. :)

[IT the Traveler]

I shall permit the total number of participants to be increased in batches of 5, depending upon the number of confirmations.

Do the needful, apprentice.

[_____V_____]

Thank you, my Lord. Your orders have been obeyed.

Good news for all you participants!

[ferretchucker]

Damn V! You be getting pussy whipped by It!

[_____V_____]

And now a small taste of things to come...

- There will be bigger, better challenges this year. A lot of them will involve your involvement as a team-member in the initial stages. Contributions by everyone will result in quicker solving of challenges and puzzles.

- Get ready to wrap your fingers around some real handy weapons this year. In addition to guns, rifles, machine-guns, rocket launchers, grenades, grenade launchers, the mini-gun AND the BFG, this year you will have access to knives, swords, machetes, axes, chainsaws etc., the whole deal. Just a note before you start celebrating though - no hidden weapons this time around.

- We have a new stalker in town. No, its not the Predator or the Alien, or any of their clones/hybrids/mutations as you might be thinking, but someone else. Or I should say, something else. A military experiment gone horribly wrong. We will have our first look at "him" or "it" (however you may wish to call him) later.

- Snipers are back this time around as usual. But they have been assigned an additional role. We will find out what it is.

- Your health counts increase by 1 this year. Previously you were dead at -4 HP, this time you die at -5 HP. Status will be - Slightly Wounded, Wounded, Severely Wounded, Bleeding & DEAD.

- Health Kits will be around as usual, but there will be surprise & hidden packs in store. Keep a keen eye out for them.

- A trip to the Treasure Chambers this time around will result in surprises. Try to be the Bonus Winner of the Challenges if you can.



...more to come as we roll on. :cool:

[Demon Seed]

I'll be number fifteen. :)

[alkytrio666]

In, if I may.

[_____V_____]

Done. Welcome to Battle Royale III, gents! :)

[Caenxavier]

Bring it on.

[_____V_____]

There are your teams (alongwith the emblems of each team). Feel free to PM each other and build up a bit of team spirit. This will come in real handy as you delve into the HDC Battle Royale III Survival Program. Trust me.

From here, your quest towards the HDC Battle Royale III King/Queen crown starts. Your goal will be to survive each challenge - first as a team, then as an individual - till the end. The survivor will win and take home the HDC Battle Royale III crown.

Registration is still open till the end of the First Challenge. If more confirmations are received, they will be drafted into each team in batches of THREE.


Your first Challenge will be posted within the next 24 hours. Ciao for now!

[ferretchucker]

Noted, PMs sent and as you can see, signature designed.

Looking forward to the first challenge.

[Dude Guadalupe]

Zombie Warriors? Sounds good to me.

[friday13thfan]

Zombie Warriors till death!

[ferretchucker]

YES! Go team go! This is our Battle Royale.

[Zero]

yeah - team til the end (or at least until we are asked to turn on each other!)

[Zero]

hmm - my zombie siggie pic doesn't seem to be working??

[Dude Guadalupe]

or at least until we are asked to turn on each other!

That's my favorite part

[ferretchucker]

Copy the IMG code into the signature box rather than do the whole "insert image" thing.

[The_Return]

Bring it on! The Phantoms are going to destroy every last one of you, just wait and see.

[missmacabre]

Bring it on! The Phantoms are going to destroy every last one of you, just wait and see.

That and our superior photoshop skills. :p

[Freak]

I get the feeling my team is in for an ass whipping.

[friday13thfan]

Fellow Zombies. I hope you dont mind me using my own sig.

[The_Return]

I get the feeling my team is in for an ass whipping.

Yep, you've got that right :)

[_____V_____]

The Sigs look awesome.

Somebody wake up the Slice 'N' Dicers. A loud whooping warcry will do but, how about a slight competitive nudge? :D

[fiend_skull]

I'm psyched!

[bwind22]

Slice & Dicers are always stylishly late.


And I'm inclined to agree with Freak.

[The Krell]

Slice and Dice!! What the fug am I doing here?? Hahaha?

[ChronoGrl]

hmm - my zombie siggie pic doesn't seem to be working??

Make sure you're copying the full URL; it's shortened in the PM. I had to click on it so that it opened in a new tab and then I copied the URL from there.

THE FIRST CHALLENGE OF HDC BATTLE ROYALE III


I welcome all 3 groups - The Raging Phantoms, Freddy's Slice 'N' Dicers and The Zombie Warriors - to your first HDC Battle Royale III Challenge.

Before that, let me remind you that EACH ONE of you now carries a HUGE bullseye on your back. From now on, your survival in Battle Royale III solely depends upon how you fare as a team (in the beginning), and as an individual (in the later stages). Knowledge is not the only weapon which will see you pass these challenges...it will be a test of your integrity, character and stamina as an individual and as a team member.

So, onwards we go...right into THE FIRST BATTLE ROYALE III CHALLENGE :-


Identify the movies in which these lesser known characters figure in :-

Aaronessa Fyffe
Abbie Santini
Amos Clements
Art Kincade
Erica Landers
Eveline DeGrass
George Sorrell
Gerde Engstrom
Gianni Tomaso
Sir John Westcliff


There are 240 points up for grabs in the above challenge.

The deadline for sending your entries ends on Wednesday, 21st April at 12 Noon EST.

You may either send me your entries via PMs, or you may email me at [email protected], mentioning your HDC Nick in the Subject alongwith the Challenge number, for e.g., "__V__ - HDC Battle Royale III Challenge #1 Answers."

You may confer within members of your own team in your quest for the right answers, but each Battle Royale participant should send in their own individual entries.

Remember, team spirit is a surefire winner in this Challenge.

All the best, folks!

[ferretchucker]

Fellow Zombies. I hope you dont mind me using my own sig.

I'm OUTRAGED! :mad:

Do you know how long it took me to make that signature?! FIVE MINUTES!

:p

Nah, you're cool. And screw the S'n'D team, lets get on with the first challenge!

[_____V_____]

And now for the SHOCKING PENALTY of losing HDC Battle Royale III's Challenge #1 :-


In case your team fails in this Challenge, you all will be let into the Hunting Zone UNARMED.

The winning team will then be given an AXE each, and let free into the very same ground, where they will hunt you down and choose ONE of you as a target for their hacking. (That is, they will send me a PM or email telling me which losing team member they choose to hack with their axes.)

5 hacks will kill a person. Ergo, the contestant who receives 5 hacks will die, and so be OUT of HDC Battle Royale III.

The lifeline - the points you score individually. There are 10 individual points to be scored here. 5 points are equal to a health-pack, which will negate the effects of 1 hack. You might survive, but you will be severely wounded.

So,
1 hack - bleeding,
2 hacks - slightly wounded,
3 hacks - wounded,
4 hacks - severely wounded,
and
5 hacks - dead and OUT.

Which means, even if you end up bleeding, slightly OR severely wounded in this Challenge, you WILL CARRY your wound into the NEXT challenge!

All the best in surviving this Challenge first!

[_____V_____]

And I have TWO entries in already with me!

Wow...you both are answer-seeking maniacs. :p

One main point I forgot to mention - ONLY THE FIRST ENTRY PER CONTESTANT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Please take note of it.

[ferretchucker]

Answer seeking maniacs, I like that! :D

[ChronoGrl]

I'm OUTRAGED! :mad:

Do you know how long it took me to make that signature?! FIVE MINUTES!

:p

Nah, you're cool. And screw the S'n'D team, lets get on with the first challenge!

Sorry, Ferret, I LOVED the siggies, but I wanted something a little more dead femme fatale. <3.

...

Also: My answers are in. Team - Let me know if you need any help.

[friday13thfan]

Answers are in from myself as well. Go Team Go!

[ChronoGrl]

Answers are in from myself as well. Go Team Go!

Nice work. Love the image in your sig, Teamie!

[friday13thfan]

Why thank you. I like your sig as well. Zombies Forever (Least till we must face each other)

[_____V_____]

FIRST UPDATE


NINE entries in so far already! A blistering start to Challenge #1 I must admit.

And the Zombie Warriors are leading the pack, as far as submitting entries are concerned! The Phantoms are catching up too!

Someone needs to send a serious wake-up call to the Slice 'N' Dicers. Or they might end up sliced and diced themselves! :eek:


Just a reminder again - Registration is open till the end of the First Challenge. If you still think you want to give BR III a shot, feel free and post your confirmation ASAP.


Good luck everyone! I am out for the night.

[bwind22]

Come on Slice & Dicers.... This is getting embarrassing. The least you could do would be posting in the thread here to at least let your team know you are alive.

[nightmare_of _death]

Come on Slice & Dicers.... This is getting embarrassing. The least you could do would be posting in the thread here to at least let your team know you are alive.

I sent everyone on the team a email two actually accept alkytrio666 still waiting for confirmation that his PM box has room. Everyone seems to be dead elsewise too wake up people!

[Demon Seed]

My answers... Are In! =D

[nightmare_of _death]

My answers are in now!

[missmacabre]

My answers... Are In! =D

Hell yeah! Let's kick ass phantoms! Everyone let me know when you send in your entries :D

[ferretchucker]

Ha! The majority of Zombies had our answers in ages ago. I just hope Caenxavier appears. He isn't that frequent a board member...

[FreddyMyers]

Mine have been in.....any word on Doc?

[friday13thfan]

Ha! The majority of Zombies had our answers in ages ago. I just hope Caenxavier appears. He isn't that frequent a board member...

I e-mailed him. So... *crosses fingers*

[ferretchucker]

I e-mailed him. So... *crosses fingers*

Cool, hopefully that'll be enough. I think the rules here are if the person doesn't participate for 3 consecutive challenges they're disqualified. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

[Freak]

Cool, hopefully that'll be enough. I think the rules here are if the person doesn't participate for 3 consecutive challenges they're disqualified. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Let's hope it does come to that.

[ferretchucker]

Let's hope it does come to that.

Hush up and quiet down! Zombies do not listen to the words of the SnDs... :mad:

[Doc Faustus]

Mine have been in.....any word on Doc?

Hours ago.

[Straker]

My answers are in. :cool:

[fiend_skull]

mine are in

[friday13thfan]

Hush up and quiet down! Zombies do not listen to the words of the SnDs... :mad:

[_____V_____]

THE FIRST SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT IN HDC BATTLE ROYALE III!!!


I am here to address the Slice 'N' Dicers.

Newb has been found knocked unconscious in his bunker!!

Plenty of beer bottles, both empty and full, were found under it, as well as a half-empty one rolling on the floor. Small strands of cream-colored hair were found near the foot of his bunker, which have been sent for analysis. He looks to have been knocked out from behind by a heavy instrument, like a club or something similar.

Will keep you posted on the developments. Sorry, SnD team, but pray he recovers consciousness sufficiently to send in his entry before the deadline. Right now he is knocked out, and in a bed in the BR Medic Center.

[_____V_____]

SECOND UPDATE


No less than SIXTEEN entries have blazed their way into my PM box as of now. Haven't started checking them yet, but the more important news is - ALL THREE TEAMS ARE ALMOST EVEN IN SUBMITTING ENTRIES!

SIX Zombie Warriors, FIVE Slice 'N' Dicers and FIVE Phantoms have sent in their entries already! :eek:

This has all the makings of a very tight finish! Stay tuned for updates, folks.

[bwind22]

Wow, Slice & Dicers woke up a little bit, eh? Glad to hear it's only Newb that is too busy partying to send in his answers.

[The Krell]

Just sent mine!:D

[roshiq]

Sorry for the delay folks, just sent mine also.:)

[Caenxavier]

Sorry guys, with no job I can only borrow internet and have more important things that I need to do right now so I would be more of a hindrance to the team than anything. Hopefully I can play some other game some other time. :(

[IT the Traveler]

Disappointing news.

I will permit a replacement for the one above. Since the registration process is still open, the next confirmed HDC warrior shall take over his position in the concerned team. Find a suitable replacement if you can, apprentice and Zombie Warriors alike.

All the best solving this Challenge too, brave warriors of HDC!

[_____V_____]

THIRD UPDATE

Thank you, my lord.

Sorry to see Caenxavier drop out, but I feel confident we will have a suitable replacement for him before the day is over. Don't worry, Zombie Warriors.

Newb is still unconscious from his surprise attack. The cream-colored hair found near his bunker correspond to that found on ferrets, as per the analysis done on them. A search is on for the instrument used, quite possibly a club of some sort. All the bunkers of all contestants will be searched this morning.

THREE more entries have come in, which takes the total tally to NINETEEN.

And the leaders right now, which might come as a bit of a rude shock to one team, are THE RAGING PHANTOMS!! SEVEN entries in so far, only ONE remains.

Both ZOMBIE WARRIORS and SLICE 'N' DICERS have SIX entries in, respectively. TWO entries remain from both teams now.

This is getting VERY interesting. Stay tuned for further updates as they come.

[Rayne]

I just asked Dustin's cousin if she might be interested in replacing Caenxavier, because she's a horror freak, too (and you guys would really like her)...She would start out on Dustin's team, so he could help her figure out how the game works

That is...IF it's okay with you guys...AND IF she actually wants to play

[Rayne]

WOOHOO! She said she would play, and her boyfriend might be interested, too...Her name is Sarah, his name is Jeff...I think it would make things kinda interesting :)

[_____V_____]

Sure thing, Rayne. I hope she knows how to swing an axe, and dodge one if needed. ;)

She is most welcome to join up and take over Caenxavier's position in the Zombie Warriors team. I am sure the team has no objections to it either.

Time to celebrate, Zombie Warriors. You now have a more than suitable replacement for Caenxavier. :)

And I really hope we have some more HDC regs signing up before the first Challenge is over. Also hoping those who signed up, to return back asap.

[bwind22]

Ferretchucker assaulted Newb in the bunker with a chucked ferret.

Elementary, Watson.

[newb]

sorry people...last thing I knew, V was on strike and BR was off. As I said in the other thread, I won't be able to play this one. It's great seeing new people getting involved...that's what will help the forum thrive. So I say let Raynes friend Jeff take my spot.

[_____V_____]

...well, dangit.

Sorry to see you opt out, bud. I hope we get a suitable rep for you. Rayne has made no promises yet - she has vouched for her friend only.

[Rayne]

...well, dangit.

Sorry to see you opt out, bud. I hope we get a suitable rep for you. Rayne has made no promises yet - she has vouched for her friend only.

Sarah said she wants in...Now I'm waiting to see if Jeff wants to play...Sarah said she would have no problem shooting Jeff...LMAO :D

[bwind22]

Newb drank himself to death before the game even started.

[Rayne]

Okay, Sarah just registered as 'Saytan'

They just got home from vacation and they had driven all night and morning, so they're gonna take a nap and finish this up (register Jeff, and send in answers for Zombies and Slicers) when they wake up tonight...Fair enough?...Any objections?

[ferretchucker]

Curses! I knew I shouldn't have got Dustin to cut my hair just outside of the bunker.

[Saytan]

Hi guys, I'm Sarah, Dustin's cousin....I guess I'm a Zombie. I'm learning but I'm sure I'll get it soon. Oh yeah, and nice to meet you all >:) My old man Jeff will be on soon also.

[Rayne]

I would like to take this opportunity to inform everyone that Sarah is not only new to the game, but also to forums...She has to learn how to navigate this vBulletin format as well as how to play the game...Please be gentle and have patience...

Oh, wait a minute...She's not on MY team...So, umm...Well...You can kill her or whatever :p

*pause*



I would like to take this opportunity to inform everyone that JEFF is not only new to......etcetera, etcetera...


Jeff is on MY team :D :p

[missmacabre]

Welcome Sarah, I'm glad you and your hubby came on just late enough for my whole team to get our answers in. :D

[_____V_____]

Alright! Welcome aboard, Sarah & Jeff.

This calls for an update...

[_____V_____]

FOURTH UPDATE


I am addressing the SLICE 'N' DICERS. Bad news, SnD, but Newb never regained consciousness and has slipped into a deep coma. Maybe it was the combination of beer + that heavy tonk on his head. He is being flown back to the mainland for further treatment, and so he will not be a part of your team anymore.

But rejoice through the gloom, because a replacement has been flown in to take over Newb's place. He will be here soon to confirm his participation asap.

And news for THE ZOMBIE WARRIORS also. The contestant you knew as Caenxavier has disappeared from the Battle Royale island! Intensive searches have proved to be fruitless, and now it is being assumed that he tried to swim back to civilisation, got exhausted, and was torn to bits by the sharks sorrounding the BR island.

You have a replacement all-ready to take over his position in your team, though. Say hello to the lovely - SAYTAN!! Welcome to HDC Battle Royale III. :)

In view of recent developments, it has been decided that the PENALTY for LOSING the FIRST CHALLENGE of HDC BATTLE ROYALE III will be scratched! All contestants will be awarded Health Packs as per their performances, and the winning team will get ONE Health Pack extra per contestant.

Good luck all. The deadline expires today at Noon EST.

[Rayne]

Alright! Welcome aboard, Sarah & Jeff.

This calls for an update...

They haven't had time to do the challenge yet...They are 'day people', and they are sleeping now...Sarah said they would do it in the morning...I hope that's okay

[Rayne]

The deadline expires today at Noon EST.Oh...*whew* :D

[_____V_____]

FINAL UPDATE


Rise and shine, contestants.

Today is...RESULTS DAY! In a little over two hours, we will have the results of the First Challenge of HDC Battle Royale III.

The big news is - I have TWENTY entries in with me right now!! That's right, still FOUR more contestants haven't sent in their entries YET.

The relieving news? The Penalty for the first challenge has been SCRATCHED. So the losers have nothing to worry about.

...or have they?

The worrying news? There is an unexpected twist coming up ahead. And it will involve blood. Oh yes, THERE WILL BE BLOOD!

Keep guessing what it might be. Catch you all when the deadline expires!

[ferretchucker]

Welcome new member, Saytan! I will be sending you the signature in a PM. I'm sure Dustin will show you how to sort it all out. :)

[Rayne]

V, I hope you got Jeff's answers...He's 'groundzero2424'...Ash finally decided he was sleepy so I'm in the bedroom using his laptop which he has popped half the keys off of so Im keeping this short cuz its a pain in the ass to use this thing...It doesnt help that I cant find his mouse either...

[_____V_____]

Yes I did.

Welcome, Jeff aka groundzero2424, to HDC Battle Royale III. You are drafted into the SLICE 'N' DICERS team as a replacement for Newb. :)

[_____V_____]

AND THE DEADLINE IS UP!!!

Results coming up in a few...

[newb]

Yes I did.

Welcome, Jeff aka groundzero2424, to HDC Battle Royale III. You are drafted into the SLICE 'N' DICERS team as a replacement for Newb. :)

Good luck Jeff

of course as my replacement you have to like chicken salad...drink plenty of beer and hit on Rayne whenever you can. Which could make things a bit uncomfortable on the home front.

[nightmare_of _death]

Gerde Engstrom - The Sentinel
Gianni Tomaso - Torso
Sir John Westcliff - And Now The Screaming Starts


I overlooked some very obvious spelling mistakes - "Cound", "Yourga", "Cronos", and also a wrongly spelt word for Torso's alternative English name, and gave them full points.


I have tallied up your final scores...and they are...

Roshiq - 10 points

Fiend Skull - 08 points

Doc Faustus - 10 points

But, as announced, the penalty stands scratched. So The Zombie Warriors are spared from an outing in the Hunting Zone, yet...

...an unexpected twist is in the tale. Keep a keen eye out for the very next post.

[missmacabre]

Woohoo, good job team!

[_____V_____]

THE FIRST BATTLE ROYALE BLOODBATH


I am here to address The Zombie Warriors. You all have been led into THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER.

Warriors, welcome to the first ever Battle Royale BLOODBATH. This is like sudden death, only with a bit more gory, black humor fun.

Right now, you all are standing in THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER, in a circle, all EIGHT of you facing each other. There are THREE boxes in front of you - marked A, B and C. What you have to do, is NOMINATE THREE TEAM MEMBERS from your team and CHOOSE THE BOXES they will proceed to open. Like for example - nominate Ferretchucker to open Box A.

What is inside them will remain a secret till I receive a PM from you. That's right - ONLY A SINGLE PM from your team, possibly from your chosen Team Leader. Quickly confer amongst yourselves and send me a PM before MIDNIGHT EST tonight with your collective choice of THREE team members, and the boxes they are chosen to open.

IF YOU FAIL TO SEND ME THE PM BEFORE MIDNIGHT EST TONIGHT, ALL OF YOU WILL BE SHOT ONCE BY THE SNIPERS IN THE WATCHTOWERS! Be mindful.

All the best. Let the conferring amongst you begin!

[ChronoGrl]

Great. Can we just kill Bloody Ribcut instead? :mad:

[_____V_____]

The Warriors have made their decision.

Let's see what the first ever HDC BLOODBATH has in store for the Zombie Warriors...

[_____V_____]

THE FIRST BATTLE ROYALE BLOODBATH - OUTCOME


I am here to address The Zombie Warriors. You all are locked inside THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER.

Right now, you all are standing locked in THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER, in a circle, all EIGHT of you facing each other. There are THREE boxes in front of you - marked A, B and C. Your team has made their choices, and here we go :-



The first choice is...CHRONOGRL!


*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on Chrono's arms and legs slide back and she is freed*



Chronogrl proceeds slowly towards the center of the chamber. She looks at all three boxes intently, then turns towards Box A. Slowly, she opens it and peers in, anxiety all over her countenance.

A piece of paper is revealed inside the box!

She picks it up and reads it slowly. A voice booms through the hidden speakers - "PLEASE READ IT LOUDLY!" Chrono is startled for an instant, but she recovers and speaks, looking at the paper.

"Go to your right and place your right hand inside the hole on the right wall."

She looks up at her teammates, puzzled. A loud buzz on her right diverts her attention, as a big gaping hole slides out from the center of the wall.

Chrono looks at it and gulps once. Zero speaks slowly, "Go on Chrono. I am sure there's nothing to be afraid of."

Chrono nods nervously and moves towards the right wall. She stands in front of the hole and looks back at her teammates, then at her rising right hand with fear. Trembling between long breaths, she slowly pushes her right hand into the hole.

She feels something solid inside it. She wraps her hands around it and pulls it out. It's a small, white plastic ball. On one side is written, in bold letters - AXE!

She takes a long breath, and hears the swish at the very last moment.

SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

The axe thuds dully into her shoulder, and she rolls down the floor screaming! Squirts of blood gush out through her bloody red gaping wound, and flow towards the rest of her teammates, who gulp and yell audibly.

The entrance door opens, and a medic runs to her holding a Health Pack. He gets down and slowly patches up the yelping and sobbing Chrono.



The second choice is...FRIDAY13THFAN!

[_____V_____]

*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on F13F's arms and legs slide back and he is freed*


F13F is visibly shaken. He takes a long look at the sobbing and bleeding Chronogrl as he slowly walks over to the boxes. One peek at the open Box A, then he lets out a deep sigh before opening Box B.

Another piece of paper inside!

F13F lifts it up and reads it slowly. "Put your left hand, fingers open, on the table on the left," his voice sounds distant and shaky.

He looks at the left and spots the old, rusty table. He looks around at Chrono again, then at Ferret and Zero in turn. Both look ashen white. He proceeds to the left towards the table and spreads the fingers of his left hand on it.

There is a very slight murmur in the air, like a very soft draft of a breeze.

F13F's scream fills the room. He looks at his left hand and screams again. Three of the fingers have been cleanly cut off, right at the base of their origination from the hand. All three severed fingers lie shaking and twitching on the table, small gushes of blood spraying out of each of them. F13F cries out loudly, shaking the table with a big jolt, and all 3 severed fingers roll down the table and fall to the floor in soft, audible clatters. The entrance door opens and a medic hurries to him too, holding a Health Pack.


The third choice is...BLOODY RIBCUT!

[ferretchucker]

GRUESOME! :eek:

[friday13thfan]

*looks at hand* NOOOOO!! Now I will never become a classical pianist.

[newb]

*looks at hand* NOOOOO!! Now I will never become a classical pianist.

hope you're right handed....if not...you can kiss your love life goodbye as well

[Rayne]

THE ZOMBIE WARRIORS :

Ferretchucker - 10 points

Dude Guadalupe - 10 points

Bloody Ribcut - 00 points (*NO ENTRY SUBMITTED*)

Friday13thFan - 09 points

Jenna26 - 10 points

ChronoGrl - 10 points

Zero - 10 points

Saytan - 00 points (*NO ENTRY SUBMITTED*)


---------------------------------

TOTAL - 59 points

---------------------------------

Please don't hold this against her...I sent her a message saying the deadline was at noon...She sent me this about 2 hours ago (I had fallen asleep with the baby) :

"Ok, I sent the answers to V with 5 minutes to spare.......I tried to call you, home and cell, but I'm pretty sure I did it right!"

However...She's in Indiana...1 hour behind us...

Did you receive the entry late, or did she somehow do it incorrectly and you didn't receive it at all?

[_____V_____]

*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on Bloody Ribcut's arms and legs slide back and he is freed*


Bloody Ribcut rubs his arms with his hands. Licking his lips nervously, he walks forward to the unopened box on the table. A cursory glance at the two open boxes later, he takes a slow breath and opens the third box.

A medium-sized red button is placed in the center of the box. On one side is inscribed in bright, golden letters "PUSH ME".

Bloody Ribcut hesitates. He looks towards Chrono and F13F in turns, and then towards Ferret directly. "I won't do it," he says firmly, his voice cracking.

The voice booms again. "If you don't, all of you will be shot once by the Snipers!"

Dude yells, "For god's sakes, man! Just push the damn button!"

Ferret nods. "You still don't know if anything would happen or not happen, Ribcut. Do it!"

Bloody Ribcut shakes his head. "Nope, I won't!"

"If you don't, you are gonna get shot anyway. Just like the rest of us. Look at Chrono and F13F, are they in any condition to get shot after that?" Jenna implores.

"Just think about the team first, dammit," Saytan says between clenched teeth, perspiring heavily.

"Okay, okay dammit. What the fuck ever!" Ribcut bellows and rams on the red button.

A loud slicing sound comes from under the table, and Ribcut falls down like a pack of cards, screaming his lungs off. The others stare at him, and Jenna screams hysterically. Ferret closes his eyes, as Zero shakes his head in disbelief.

Ribcut's right leg has been neatly sliced out from the rest of his body, severed exactly at the knee. Big sprays of blood pound out from the open, gaping wound, where about two minutes back, there had been a whole and complete right leg. He yells and cries out again and again, as the entrance door opens and a medic runs to him with a wheelchair and some cotton to stop the excessive bleeding.

The voice booms over the chamber,"You all may now proceed back to your bunkers. This was just a small demonstration of what the Bloodbath Chamber is capable of. You will see bigger and better things as you proceed in the Battle Royale."


*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on the rest of the team's arms and legs slide back and they are freed*


Sorry Zombie Warriors, looks like the Bloodbath Chamber left you a bit...cut up, shall we say?

You have less than 24 hours to heal up before the next Challenge is posted. Two of the three selected members have used up a Health Pack each, which they had won in the First Challenge, and so shall be deducted from their winnings. Bloody Ribcut hasn't won any Health Packs, so his status will be reduced to BLEEDING.

[ferretchucker]

Please don't hold this against her...I sent her a message saying the deadline was at noon...She sent me this about 2 hours ago (I had fallen asleep with the baby) :

"Ok, I sent the answers to V with 5 minutes to spare.......I tried to call you, home and cell, but I'm pretty sure I did it right!"

It was noted in the PMs that she is very new to all of this. She is forgiven.

[_____V_____]

I received it about 55 minutes late, Rayne. I promptly sent her a reply back.

No worries, even with her entry in, AND scoring an all-correct entry, The Zombie Warriors would have lost Challenge #1 anyway. They were staring at the Bloodbath in either case.

First look at the Statuses of all teams coming up...

[friday13thfan]

I am ambidextrous when it comes to certain things.

Thanks for that information...We'll remember the time difference next time :)

[_____V_____]

SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT!


I am here to address the Slice 'N' Dicers team. One of your prominent team-members, Alkytrio666, has been found in a near-death condition near your compound.

Multiple stab wounds were dotted all over his back!

He has been rushed to the BR Medic Chamber, but right now he is not responding to his treatment. A careful analysis of the place where Alky was found, has revealed 3 items of considerable interest - a page torn out from the book Faust, a torn piece of paper with a rough database drawn on it, and some thick red hairs. They have been sent to the lab for detailed analysis.

Pray that Alky recovers, at least in time for Challenge #2. Or this could become a big problem for you.

[bwind22]

"I won't do it," he says firmly, his voice cracking.

Ahh hah! Come back when you get some pubes kid. Battle Royale is not a game for adolescents.


Nice writing V! That Bloodbath Chamber was hilarious! Suck it Zombies! hahaha Whooo! Slice & Dice all the muthafuckin way baby!

[Rayne]

GRRR...I'm all out of family members with BRAINS (yes I DO know that's sad), except for Seri but she won't play because it's spring now, and her free time is devoted to her boyfriend...Oh, and my mother is into true crime and forensics, not horror :p


And BWIND...You crack me the hell up!...lol

[roshiq]

How long we have to wait when the winning team members get the chance to shoot/stab or chop-chop the losing team members?

I can smell their blood, so badly want to taste them a little...:cool:

[_____V_____]

Not for long.

Rise and shine, contestants. It's time for CHALLENGE NUMBER 2!

Before I post it, I need to address something. Since Alky is not responding to his treatment (and its very unlikely that he will be continuing his participation), and I have no new confirmations from any other HDC member, the Slice 'N' Dicers team is free to canvass for a freelance participant who can take over Alky's position in their team. Go ahead, and see if you can find a suitable replacement.

If I get a confirmation in the meantime, too good. He will be immediately drafted in to take over Alky's place.

[_____V_____]

THE SECOND CHALLENGE OF HDC BATTLE ROYALE III


I welcome back all 3 groups - The Raging Phantoms, Freddy's Slice 'N' Dicers and The Zombie Warriors - to your second HDC Battle Royale III Challenge.

Identify the movies in which these locations/objects play a central role :-

Arctic Warrior
Antonio Bay
Bly House
Chessman Park
Cuesta Verde
Hill House
Manderley
Perfection
Saeki House
Willowpoint Falls


There are 240 points up for grabs in the above challenge.

The deadline for sending your entries ends on Saturday, 24th April at 12 Noon EST.

You may either send me your entries via PMs, or you may email me at [email protected], mentioning your HDC Nick in the Subject alongwith the Challenge number, for e.g., "__V__ - HDC Battle Royale III Challenge #2 Answers."

You may confer within members of your own team in your quest for the right answers, but each Battle Royale participant should send in their own individual entries.

Remember, team spirit is a surefire winner in this Challenge.

All the best, folks!

[_____V_____]

And now for the SHOCKING PENALTY of losing HDC Battle Royale III's Challenge #2 :-


In case your team fails in this Challenge, you all will be let into the Hunting Zone ARMED with an AXE each.

You will then be ordered to track down and choose ONE of YOUR OWN TEAM as a target for your hacking blows. (That is, you all will send me a PM or email telling me which team member OF YOUR OWN TEAM you have chosen to hack with your axes.)

5 hacks will kill a person. Ergo, the contestant who receives 5 hacks will die, and so be OUT of HDC Battle Royale III.

All the best in surviving this Challenge!

[_____V_____]

SIX entries have burned the wires on their way to me within the first couple hours of posting the 2nd Challenge!

Looks like this one will end on a really close finish...


In a bit of a sad (and expected) news, Alky has not regained consciousness yet. Although not comatose, his condition has been diagnosed as very critical and in need of emergency specialist attention. Right now, he is being flown back to the mainland for ICU treatment.

Sorry SnDs, looks like you will finally need yet another replacement, after all. Good luck finding one before the deadline expires for this Challenge.

[IT the Traveler]

It is indeed disappointing to lose contestants this way. First Caenxavier, then Newb and now Alkytrio666.

Good to see two replacement warriors come forward in their places. Find a third one soon, apprentice, or you will lose a hand too!

I will permit someone to replace Alkytrio666 within the deadline put down for the Second Challenge. After that, all the teams will be final and all team-members shall be binding. How you handle them will be upto you, apprentice.

Do not disappoint me. Again.

[Straker]

My answers have gone in. Thanks for the help. :cool:

[nightmare_of _death]

My answers are in as well

[ChronoGrl]

Mine too. GO ZOMBIES.

[jenna26]

Just sent mine in also.

Y-yes, my lord. I am doing the best that I can! :eek:

Sorry if it isn't enough...I don't want to lose one of my hands! :(


Damn...where am I gonna pull out a replacement for Alky from now?

Hmm...:confused:

Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

[_____V_____]

FIRST UPDATE


As many as NINETEEN entries have BLAZED their way into my PM box!

And its almost neck-and-neck for the lead, but THE ZOMBIE WARRIORS ARE LEADING with SEVEN of em in!

Not a big lead though, since both RAGING PHANTOMS & SLICE 'N' DICERS are hot on their heels with SIX of each in!

I really hope, for the sake of the SnD team, that we find a replacement for Alky asap. That might turn out to be THE crucial factor when the deadline approaches. Good luck, SnD!

[Rayne]

HEY!

Does anyone remember a gorgeous chick at Reelhorror.com?...She was a moderator (actually, I would say she was the MAIN moderator)...Her name was Michelle?...I'm trying to recruit her...She would be AWESOME in this game!!!

[~Michelle~]

BOOOOO Had to create a NEW account here....my old one disdapeared :mad::( lol

[Rayne]

BOOOOO Had to create a NEW account here....my old one disdapeared :mad::( lol

But you're HERE, that's what matters...WOOHOO!

Okay, you wanna read this thread and figure out what's going on?...My baby wants me to make him something to eat, so I gotta go...If you have any questions, ask them here and someone might show up to answer, otherwise I'll be back later to try to help...I really think you'll be able to pick this up all by yourself, though...Just cuz you're awesome like that ;) :D

[_____V_____]

Hey Michelle, welcome to HDC. :)

And welcome to Battle Royale. Feel free to ask me anything you want regarding the game, and I am sure you will fit in easily into the SnD team.

I am here to serve.

[ChronoGrl]

Ribcut hasn't logged in since the 19th. Can we trade him? :mad:

GO ZOMBIES - Please let me know if you need any help with this challenge.

[_____V_____]

Wish you could.

With fewer confirmations this year and participants dropping out, I am having a hard time keeping the teams on an even keel for the Challenges. Haven't yet found a confirmed replacement for Alky for the SnD team, so it will be similarly tough to find someone to replace Bloody Ribcut.

Besides, he hasn't posted anything in this thread since his confirmation. So no idea yet if he has actually dropped out. Who knows, he might log in today and send me his entry through Speed Post.

Pray and hope he does just that before the deadline. Like the SnDs are praying for a rep for Alky.

Sorry, Chrono.

[Zero]

just the way the ball bounces. since it is consistent for all teams it is fair, if also unfortunate

[ChronoGrl]

Hmmmm... If I can convince my boyfriend to join, can we all give bloody_ribcut a bloody_ribcut and kick him out of the game? ;)

[_____V_____]

Hmm...like it happened in the first Battle Royale to accomodate Dude Guadalupe in place of Rod?

Sure.

If you can convince him and he joins up and sends me his entry, I will hold on to it till the deadline. If there is no word from Bloody Ribcut, he will take over. :)

[ChronoGrl]

OOOO! OOOO! OOOO! YAY!

*starts writing crafty email now*

[ChronoGrl]

OOO! OOO! OOO!

I called him at work and shook him down... HE'S GOING TO JOIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately his work is blocking the site, but we'll get him set up tonight. :D:D:D:D:D


[I've been trying to get him to join HDC for AGES - I'm PSYCHED that this got him to give in! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA]

[Rayne]

Haven't yet found a confirmed replacement for Alky for the SnD team
I'm sure Michelle will be back tonight and we can help her figure out all of this then


@Chrono: That's AWESOME!...I can't believe he's FINALLY gonna be here!

Oh wait a minute...Does that mean we can't flirt with you anymore? :p

[ferretchucker]

Oh wait a minute...Does that mean we can't flirt with you anymore? :p


Like that's gonna stop me! And let's face it, at 16 he's hardly gonna see me as a threat.

[IT the Traveler]

Good.

I hope for your sake that all your Team problems sort themselves out by the time the deadline for the Second Challenge expires, apprentice. If not, you will end up in the Bloodbath Chamber, and come out minus a hand.

[ChronoGrl]

Oh wait a minute...Does that mean we can't flirt with you anymore? :p

heeheehee - Absolutely NOT!

(It's not going to stop me either ;)).

[ferretchucker]

Chrono, will it be enough to simply send you the messages and trust you to pass them on? It just means less names to remember when sending a PM.

[ChronoGrl]

Chrono, will it be enough to simply send you the messages and trust you to pass them on? It just means less names to remember when sending a PM.

WE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE DAMNIT

...

Ok, you can just send PMs to me. That 5-person PM limit drives me crazy too...

I'll let you know once we get his account set up. His work is blocking the site right now, so it won't be until we get home... I'll make sure we make the deadline though.

[ChronoGrl]

Watch it, wee one...

SO

Mark just registered as Shriek_of_The_Mutilated. You should be getting a PM from him shortly, V.

I saw Mr. Ribcut on earlier but he hasn't answered any of my PMs. GOOD. :D

[_____V_____]

SECOND UPDATE


I have TWENTY-TWO entries in with me right now. One of them is a backup, so that's TWENTY ONE registered entries in total.

And would you believe it? ALL 3 TEAMS ARE TIED TOGETHER WITH SEVEN ENTRIES EACH!!

The winning Team AND the losing Team will be decided by their LAST entries! Can't get any closer than that.

The next 11 hours hold the key. Hold your collective breaths, and keep those prayers going!

[roshiq]

Again...sorry for the delay. The hectic load shedding problems are getting totally intolerable every day. :mad:

Anyway, just sent mine.

GO PHANTOMS!

[~Michelle~]

finally sent in! ~S~

[Rayne]

finally sent in! ~S~

WOOHOO!...I think we're all in now...err...umm...I HOPE we are :p


I'm also pretty sure that we aren't the last, but I will admit that I haven't been paying as close attention as I should be

[ferretchucker]

Oh dear...CHRONO! GET MARK SENDING THEM IN!!!

And DUDE! MAKE SURE YOU PHONE SAYTAN TO REMIND HER!

[_____V_____]

THIRD AND FINAL UPDATE


I have ALL Twenty-Four entries in with me. Bloody Ribcut now holds a BIG key to the outcome of this Challenge. How? Just ask the Zombie Warriors and they will tell you how. ;)

What's the verdict right now? I am sure you might be very curious to know, but have some patience till we reach the deadline in a little under 5 hours from now. Keep those teeth from chattering, don't chew your finger-nails much, and stop looking anxious and worried.

Ciao till Noon EST, folks!

What do we do in such a situation? We go and see which Team was the last in submitting all their answers. Remember my mentioning Bloody Ribcut's importance? Now it will be revealed...

...shortly. ;)

[_____V_____]

First, who won this Challenge?

TWO positions in TWO teams - the Slice 'N' Dicers & the Zombie Warriors, were hanging in the balance. I had received no confirmation from Michelle for the SnD team, and Ribcut hadn't sent in his dropping out confirmation from the Zombie Warriors team.

Yesterday I had 22 Entries with me. 21 registered and valid, and ONE from a (possible) replacement, Shriek_of_the_Mutilated. IF the originally registered member, Bloody_Ribcut, had shown up and had sent me his entry, THAT entry would have been taken and tallied, since he WAS the registered member.

But he hasn't sent me his entry. He was on for a brief period yesterday morning, but disappeared offline without a word either in this thread or to his team through PMs or email.

So, officially, Shriek takes over Bloody Ribcut's position, and his entry becomes valid. BUT ONLY WHEN THE DEADLINE TICKED OVER!

Let me clarify this a bit more - I received Shriek's entry much earlier, but it was VALIDATED and he was REGISTERED in place of Bloody_Ribcut ONLY JUST NOW, when the deadline came up.

So technically, Shriek's entry is the LAST one in.

IF Ribcut had come in, or sent a PM cancelling his participation and posting that he was dropping out, Shriek would have become registered then and there. And the timing of his entry would have counted.

See why I said Ribcut held a BIG key in the outcome of this challenge?

The last 3 entries I received were in this order...


3rd last entry... from SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED! (but not validated or registered)

2nd last entry... from ROSHIQ!

and

the last entry... from ~MICHELLE~! (confirmation in the same PM)


Yes, technically, the SnD team should have lost this challenge. But just because Ribcut didn't post anything to either his team or in this thread...

THE ZOMBIE WARRIORS LOSE BATTLE ROYALE CHALLENGE #2!!

and

THE RAGING PHANTOMS WIN BATTLE ROYALE CHALLENGE #2!!

(they win the Bonus HPs again!)

Sorry, ZWs. I know it must be really disappointing to lose this Challenge through such a technical point, but that's the only rational solution to this situation.


The best I can do for you (since so many uncertainties were keeping two teams hanging in the balance till the last moments of the Challenge), is SCRATCH THE PENALTY FOR LOSING CHALLENGE #2!


Yes, you are spared yet again from heading into the Hunting Zone.



But you know what happens when the losers are spared?

Yes...


Prepare yourselves for yet another trip through...


THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER!

[friday13thfan]

*facepalm* God Damnit... Well lets do this.

[The_Return]

Damn right, Phantoms. Job well done.

[_____V_____]

THE SECOND BATTLE ROYALE BLOODBATH


I am here to address the losing team, The Zombie Warriors. You all have been led into THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER again.

Warriors, welcome again to the second Battle Royale BLOODBATH. This is like sudden death, only with a bit more gory, black humor fun.

Right now, you all are standing in THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER, in a circle, all EIGHT of you facing each other. There are FOUR tables in front of you - marked 1, 2, 3 and 4. What you have to do, is NOMINATE FOUR TEAM MEMBERS from your team and CHOOSE THE TABLES they will proceed to check out. Like for example - nominate Chronogrl to check out Table 2.

Each table holds a secret message under it. What it is will remain a secret till I receive a PM from you. That's right - ONLY A SINGLE PM from your team, possibly from your chosen Team Leader. Quickly confer amongst yourselves and send me a PM before MIDNIGHT EST tonight with your collective choice of FOUR team members, and the tables they are chosen to check out.

IF YOU FAIL TO SEND ME THE PM BEFORE MIDNIGHT EST TONIGHT, ALL OF YOU WILL BE SHOT TWICE BY THE SNIPERS IN THE WATCHTOWERS! Be mindful.

All the best. Let the conferring amongst you begin!

[Rayne]

*facepalm* God Damnit... Well lets do this.

Aww, poor thing...Facepalm while you still can, there's a chance you may lose that face...or that palm...:p

[ChronoGrl]

AWWW, SUCK!

Can we mutilate the corpse of Bloody_Ribcut instead?

And, for the record, Mark's WASN'T the last one in, so Team, be nice to him. :D

[missmacabre]

Just got home from acing an exam, only to see this wonderful news. Awesome job team!

[The Krell]

finally sent in! ~S~

Welcome Michelle! Thanks for joining the Slicers N Dicers!

[ferretchucker]

The Bloodbath Volunteers are sent in...may God have mercy on their souls.

[bwind22]

SliceNDicers rule!

[ChronoGrl]

The Bloodbath Volunteers are sent in...may God have mercy on their souls.

Thank you Volunteers and Team... We'll start kicking ass soon, I PROMISE.

[nightmare_of _death]

SliceNDicers rule!

ditto......

[roshiq]

Hurrray!! Great going, Phantoms!:cool:

[_____V_____]

The Warriors have come back to their team compound and are resting in their bunkers.

Let's see what happened in their second trip to the HDC BLOODBATH CHAMBER...

[_____V_____]

THE SECOND BATTLE ROYALE BLOODBATH - OUTCOME


I am here to describe the outcome of The Zombie Warriors during their second trip to the Bloodbath Chamber.


You all are standing arms and feet locked in THE BLOODBATH CHAMBER, in a circle, all EIGHT of you facing each other. There are FOUR tables in front of you - marked 1, 2, 3 and 4. Your team has made their choices, and here we go :-



The first choice is...FERRETCHUCKER!


*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on Ferret's arms and legs slide back and he is freed*



Ferret looks at the first table apprehensively. He is filled with dread as he walks forward, his feet pushing his body forward.

He comes to a standstill in front of the Table marked "1". Gulping once, he sits down and peers under the table. At first he doesn't see anything. But he looks hard and sees a word inscribed in small letters in the middle on the floor.

He reads it slowly. "Mind your head."

A voice booms. "READ THE INSTRUCTIONS LOUDLY, PLEASE."

Ferret nods with a puzzled look and repeats the words.

Almost at once, the table splits into two halves as a huge Battle-axe falls down on it. Ferret hears the swishing sound barely a couple seconds earlier, and swings back instinctively.

The Battle-axe lands down with a huge thud. It buries itself deep into Ferret's right thigh, almost slicing it into two. Huge globs of blood start blobbing out of the loose flesh, and Ferret lets out big howls of intense pain.

Zero groans. Chrono averts her eyes. Jenna shakes her head.

The entrance door opens and a medic rushes in with a Health Pack. Ferret fights back tears and looks on, as the medic pulls the Battle-axe out of his thigh. Ferret yelps loudly again.

Dude whispers quietly, "At least you saved your head..."



The second choice is...ZERO!

[_____V_____]

*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on Zero's arms and legs slide back and he is freed*



Zero stares at Ferret for a moment, who is being attended by the Medic, then walks forward determinedly towards the table marked "2".

He stands in front it and bends down towards the floor under the table. The small words jump out at him. He reads them out in a loud voice.

"Survive #3."

Almost at once, the floor parts in the middle and a big, square brown box comes out of it. The lock snaps back and the box clicks open.

Zero looks at it with apprehension.

"TAKE OUT YOUR WEAPON!" the voice booms.

Zero slides the lid back.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg247/TeamExtreme34/machete.jpg

A wickedly sharp machete gleams back at him from the overhead light. Zero stares and gulps once, before lifting it out from the box. He holds it, and looks around at his other team-mates.

"STAND THERE!" the voice booms again.



The third choice is...SAYTAN!

[_____V_____]

*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on Saytan's arms and legs slide back and she is freed*



Saytan looks at her teammates, then at Zero who stands in front of table 2 with a machete in hand. She feels terror creep into her stomach, as she pushes herself towards the table marked "3".

She comes to the table and almost immediately bends down, a small warning bell ringing in her mind about the words written under it. She lets out a small breath, and speaks softly.

"Survive #2."

Almost at once, the floor parts in the middle and a big, rectangular red box comes out of it. The locks snap back and the box clicks open.

Saytan's hands reach out for the box automatically, her fingers feeling numb.

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u121/JACKSKELLINGTON7172/Mysword.jpg

A huge, razor-sharp, double-handed sword leaps into her vision. It glints in the light, as if waiting to be picked up. Saytan lets out another deep breath and lifts it up. She holds it for a moment, then turns around to face Zero.

"FIGHT!" the voice booms.

Almost immediately, Zero lowers his machete. "I won't fight her," he says quietly.

"IF YOU WON'T, ALL OF YOU WILL BE SHOT TWICE BY THE SNIPERS!" the voice warns menacingly.

F13F yells, "Come on you two!"

Saytan looks at Zero with pleading eyes. The sword looks too heavy to lift for her. Zero thinks for a second, then his grip on the machete tightens. He starts lifting it up. Saytan's eyes fill with sudden dread, then a wild excitement runs through both of them. Giving out a loud cry, she swings her sword directly at Zero, just as Zero brings down his machete heavily. He leans back instinctively, but the sword slices neatly through his left arm, severing it off his body. At the same time, the machete scrunches through Saytan's shoulder and collar bone, narrowly missing her lungs.

Zero's left hand thuds down on the floor, blood squirting out of it everywhere. Both contestants follow it and fall down, Zero swooning at the sight of his severed left arm. Saytan yells loudly in-between big gasps of breath, looking at the machete which has almost cut her into two. Big rivers of blood run down her chest and back.

The entrance door swings open, and two medics hurry to either of them holding a Health Pack each. One of the medics tries to revive Zero while patching up his severed left stump, while the other reaches Saytan and pulls the machete out of her shoulder. Saytan's screams ring throughout the Chamber.



The fourth and final choice is...JENNA!

[_____V_____]

*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on Jenna's arms and legs slide back and she is freed*



Jenna looks wildly at the entrance door. Then at Ferret, Zero and Saytan lying on the floor, bleeding and being attended to by the medics. Her alarming eyes fill with tears of sheer dread, and she runs at the entrance door and pounds on it.

"IT IS USELESS TO FORCE THE DOOR. COME AND FACE YOUR DESTINY AT YOUR CHOSEN TABLE!" the voice rasps through the hidden speakers of the chamber.

Jenna grits her teeth. "Damn you," she thinks and slowly walks back towards the table marked "4". She stops, lets out a small breath, and looks below the table. She squints for a better view, then speaks out.

"Stand straight. Watch the middle."

She looks puzzled as she straightens herself back to her standing position. A soft click and a swish later, Jenna's eyes widen as she starts to fall back. Her hands slowly reach for her stomach, where a big, ugly gaping cut has suddenly appeared. The blade of the spinning cutter slides back inside the false chamber of table 4, and Jenna's cut starts turning red. She falls to the floor and at that instant, blood spurts out of her cut stomach.

The entrance door opens again, and a medic runs to her with a Health Pack. Jenna is breathing heavily, her guts clearly seen through the huge cut. The medic closes the wound and patches it. Continuous tears keep running down Jenna's eyes, but she only moans in complete and utter shock.


Another painful ordeal for you, Zombie Warriors. Hopefully you all would have recovered enough to tackle Challenge #3, which will be posted before Noon EST tomorrow. Have some much needed healing rest, because you will need it the most. Good luck.

That was EPIC...I literally got chills

Amazing visual, V...Excellent


Poor Zero...Kinda difficult for a monkey to swing with only one arm...Guess you better get in some practice, replacing that arm with your tail

I'm not too terribly worried about Saytan, she has LITERALLY been ripped apart, crushed, and put back together...I know she can handle this ;)

[ferretchucker]

Oh shitbubbles...

There was a slight misunderstanding involving me mistaking a proper noun for a pronoun...I think Zero will see what I mean. Either way, I am sooooo sorry Zero.

[Rayne]

HaHaHa

Dustin came home from work, took off his uniform, ate and got comfortable...Did some of his computery stuff, and now he's reading this

So, he said, "Zero had to fight SARAH?"...I said, "YEAH, isn't it awesome?!"...Then I said, "She took off his whole arm!"...Dustin said, "HEY, I haven't gotten that far yet!"...lol...I'm loving this :D

[Zero]

Oh shitbubbles...

There was a slight misunderstanding involving me mistaking a proper noun for a pronoun...I think Zero will see what I mean. Either way, I am sooooo sorry Zero.

yes - capitalization is for proper nouns!!

now that I've lost my arm my sex life is ruined

[Saytan]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Awesome!

[Doc Faustus]

Then you'll have to go through the expensive, difficult and oft arduous alternative: finding a girlfriend. Then, sometime when she's asleep, cut off her arm and glue it onto your stump.

[friday13thfan]

Here is to hoping myself and the rest of the Zombie Warriors can pull through for the next round and rest of the Team rounds.

[~Michelle~]

now that I've lost my arm my sex life is ruined

And......They are....Wait for it.............IN!

[Rayne]

The 'Red Herring' paranoia on this one is going to drive me insane...Especially since I am having a difficult time considering some of the ones that I'm finding, to be slashers.

[Straker]

If I look at that wordsearch any more tonight I am gonna have to take a drill to my head Revok style. :eek:

[Doc Faustus]

The 'Red Herring' paranoia on this one is going to drive me insane...Especially since I am having a difficult time considering some of the ones that I'm finding, to be slashers.

Rent is totally a slasher movie. As is If, starring horror icon Malcolm Mc Dowell.

[_____V_____]

I have to clarify one major point here...

You all have to send me YOUR OWN links. Its easy to make a photobucket account (or upload it to imagevenue.com, if you don't want to bother opening one) and send me the link to THAT page.

Links, like PMs, should be INDIVIDUAL. One person from your team has already done the hard part - don't you think you need to do some work too, like opening the puzzle in Paint and marking off the answers in it in your own way? ;)

Image links to the same location WILL stand to lose points. As will sending me the same solved puzzle by one certain team member, uploaded to another location.

I think this was already clarified last year. Everyone sent me their own links and own solved puzzles through PMs then. So I thought all of you already knew this? :p

Considering you didn't clarify this until midway through the competition, and we do have a great deal of members who were NOT participants in previous BR event and therefore would have no way of knowing this, I feel that it would be incredibly unfair for this rule to come into effect on this challenge. From here on out I find it entirely understandable, however with no prior warning it just seems downright mean.

If he allowed the people who screwed up (those who have never participated in a Battle Royale) to resubmit, I'd say it would be more than fair...I warned the new members of my team that they had to upload their own...I'm hoping that they did

I'd agree with that. Extend the deadlne and allow those who couldn't have known better to fix their mistake. Completely fair.

[Rayne]

I'd agree with that. Extend the deadlne and allow those who couldn't have known better to fix their mistake. Completely fair.

The deadline is already 2 days away, Sweetie...Many people were able to complete this in less than 24 hours...The others should be able to do it in double that amount of time without needing an extension...Also, If someone is going to pass answers, they should also pass warnings if there's a chance something could get screwed up...Just sayin

[Zero]

In (again) and just to make sure it was personalized enough i smeared monkey feces across it! that should clearly mark it as mine

[bwind22]

Return, we told our team the rules. Your team should have done the same thing.

[_____V_____]

Considering you didn't clarify this until midway through the competition, and we do have a great deal of members who were NOT participants in previous BR event and therefore would have no way of knowing this, I feel that it would be incredibly unfair for this rule to come into effect on this challenge. From here on out I find it entirely understandable, however with no prior warning it just seems downright mean.

That is why there is a team. And that is why there are members in a team who have been a part of BR before - to pass on THIS kind of information to each other.

We didn't have this problem last year. Everyone involved in BR II, new or old, sent me their own entry with their own links. Some of them even asked me through PMs (like Doc this year again), if they could do it using Paint tools. Many entries were scratched and dotted all over, showing the struggle of people who weren't versed with Imaging tools. But they did it. It wasn't a problem then. Naturally, I would presume everyone (or most members who have been a part of BR before) already knew this, and passed it on to their team members.

But you are right. I should have clarified this when posting the Challenge itself. I did mean to post the instructions also, but with the huge storm yesterday evening knocking out the electricity, the telephone and broadband from 6 PM till 2 AM in the night when all was restored and I was falling down on my chair half-asleep, it skipped my mind. I was struggling to stay awake, but I had promised to post the new Challenge by Noon EST in previous posts, so I had to stay awake to honor my promise to all of you.

(btw, the editing done the first time was because 2 films were not showing in the puzzle, MissM. Only 18 films were showing. I didn't notice it till I posted the Challenge. Had to hurry and add the other 2, then come back with the new image and edit the post. Thought nobody might have noticed it, but you did.)

Editing the original challenge at so late a time would have been unfair and mean, but not an additional post explaining it. Hence the reason why I haven't even started on the scoring yet. Doc sent me a second entry - I will count that as the valid one.

No action has been taken so far, and none will be taken.

[Saytan]

I'm in, hoping it's right.......

[ferretchucker]

Well this is very annoying. Photobucket's upload button wasn't working (it was showing up as a link until I clicked it when the mouse just reverted to it's original form and nothing happened.

I tried to send it to you over an email but the "browse" button isn't working on the add attachments bit. FUCKING HELL! :mad: I'll try again later, but any suggestions on how to fix this?

[missmacabre]

For the record, The first BR also happened during exams. Being stressed and not having a ton of time I barely read the hunting zones, nevermind smack talk and additional rules. The only time I remember a reideration of the rules was talk of not forwarding one person's answers to V.

[ChronoGrl]

I'm in, hoping it's right.......

I sent you a PM - Let me know if you need help with image hosting. :)

...

My answers are in... Mark's blocked at work, so we'll have to wait until we go home... Though our home computers are pretty hosed. :mad::mad::mad:

[Rayne]

So...I was perusing my old Photobucket...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/BloodRayne/ZeroEquipped.png

[ferretchucker]

Don't mention photobucket. It's betrayed me and I may have to take that anger out on you with a good thrashing.

[Zero]

So...I was perusing my old Photobucket...

ahhh - i remember back then - Rayne and I were teammates for almost the entire BR (which is probably why i survived)

[_____V_____]

FIRST UPDATE


I have 12 entries with me right now. That includes re-submitted and accepted ones from two teams.

2 entries from 1 particular team stand scratched, and have not been re-submitted yet.



And a quick count reveals -

5 entries from The Raging Phantoms,

1 entry from The Slice 'N' Dicers,

and

6 entries from The Zombie Warriors.




That's right, the ZWs are leading right now!


But what's happened to the SnD team? Only 1 entry so far?! Wakey wakey, SnDs!!

[The_Return]

If any Phantoms need a hand getting their revised entry handed it, just shoot me a PM.

[bwind22]

1 person on our team found all 20 and didn't pass it on to the rest of us? I know who I'm shooting at when I get a chance. What a d-bag.

[missmacabre]

If any Phantoms need a hand getting their revised entry handed it, just shoot me a PM.

I know who one of the team members who needs to resubmit was and I contacted him. Not sure who else needs to. Despare maybe?
