Awesome - LOVE the red splatter - What did you use to do that? And what fonts are those?

Thank you so much for this. My job is becoming a lot of User Interface (which I LOVE), but my manager won't spring for Photoshop, so I pretty much design all of our web screens in Paint (I kid you not) - Really can't wait to check this out. :D

Thank you and the font is called Bleeding Cowboys http://www.dafont.com/bleeding-cowboys.font

As for the splatter: It was supposed to be a set of wings. I took the hand from the image of a demon wraith V posted for our team and took the hand and modified it.

They look like wings - I realized that after I posted, "splatter" wasn't what I meant to use... The question I was trying to ask was, "How did you make it red?"

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 which comes with a color replacement brush. I picked Red and poof. Oh also used "magic wand" to select the hands and figure.

No I don't :p

I don't wonder why YOU get shot at either...lol


BTW...Where's our challenge?...I'm ready to put those dogs in the pound...Or the ground...Either way works for me ;)

Well well well, I'll start by saying hello to my new teammates, Hulloo :D

ok now that thats out of the way, Dude, this kinda sucks, but I'm sure we can have a grand old time in the hunting zone when the time comes..... and it will. It'll be like the old days, only we wont REALLY be bleeding :mad:

RAYNE!!!! >MUAH< I love the Sig! And now if you will, let's kick some Lycanthropic Arse!!

I have a feeling that the challenge will be posted as soon as we fall asleep...lol...Great way to start out, huh? :D

It's ok hunny, I have tooth picks in my eyelids...

LMAO!...Hmm...Why does that make me want some hors d'oeuvres? :p

Mmmmm, fried eyelids anyone....please pass the ( insert fancy dipping sauce that I probably cant spell ) Damn, now I'm hungry..... *sigh*

Go make some of your incredible fried chicken :D

I'm gonna take off now...Catch ya later

Man I wish I could get a copy of photoshop.It's expensive and I'm not paying that much for it.

You can get it for the low low price of freeee. Or realistically, the low low price of a decent internet connection.

I got mine through school. Along with all the other Adobe products.

Haha. Me neither.

You get targeted because everyone knows you're very fuckin good at these challenges. I get targeted because I find my entertainment in these games from playing the super-cocky asshole role. ;)

Oh do tell.

It is a TIE!!!


But...who won Challenge #8? And who lost it?

Who sent in the first ALL-CORRECT entry?



We will find out...NEXT!

The TIME TIE-BREAKER reveals that...


The FIFTEENTH entry I received was from Jenna26, which was the LAST entry I received from a Lycan!



Yes, sadly, the next THREE entries came from the Demonwraiths - Roshiq, Friday13thFan & Despare (in that order), which were THEIR last 3 entries in!



Which means that, THE BLAZING LYCANS HAVE WON CHALLENGE #8!

And so are headed into the Hunting Zone as designated Hunters.



Sorry, Demonwraiths, you will be their targets in it.



Also, the FIRST ALL-CORRECT ENTRY I received was from...Demonwraith RAYNE!!

She wins a trip to the Reward Chamber, shortly before the Hunting Zone outing.

Let's find out what she has to do, and what the penalty will be...


...NEXT!!

THE REWARD CHAMBER

I welcome Demonwraith Rayne into The Reward Chamber.

You have FOUR boxes in front of you - labelled Deca, Heneca, Icosa and Tosca.

You may select any TWO for yourself, and the contents inside them will be yours to keep FOREVER!

That's not all.

All four boxes are parts of a secret permutation and combination. If you correctly guess the hidden combination of TWO boxes in your choice PM to me, it will reveal a FIFTH hidden box!

The contents of THAT hidden box will be revealed by me if you hit upon the correct combo.

Choose very carefully.




The Penalty is coming up shortly...

HDC BATTLE ROYALE III - THE HUNTING SEASON ZONE - ROUND SIX OF HUNTING


ALL of the Demonwraiths have been set free inside The Hunting Season Zone UNARMED!


Lycans, you will be using this to hunt the Warriors down...


http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/crossbow.jpg


A CROSSBOW, WITH THREE ARROWS EACH!

Each arrow is capable of causing a wound which would require 1 HP to heal.


And also,


Someone else will be joining all of you in the hunt.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5..._aaron-now.gif


THE CHAINER!

He will be waiting for you, Lycans.

The entire Hunting Zone is divided into NINE sections - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H & I. You have to mention which section you will be in when you are doing your hunting.

NO TWO CONTESTANTS CAN BE IN THE SAME SECTION! Be mindful.


Lycans, PM me who your target (or targets) will be in the Hunting Zone. Also mention the section where you will be when you are doing your hunting.

The failure to use even a single Arrow, or if TWO Hunters end up in the SAME section, will mean each LYCAN will be shot SIX TIMES by the Snipers in the Watchtowers!!

You all have until Monday, NOON EST tomorrow to complete your hunting.


P.S. - Friday13thFan is asked to turn in his Bonus Weapons before heading into the Zone as a designated target.


I ALSO DECLARE THE GIFTING OF HEALTH PACKS RULE AS OPEN!!!

Good luck all.

RESULT OF THE REWARD CHAMBER OUTING #3


Demonwraith Rayne was led into the Reward Chamber earlier, before the Zone outing for this Challenge started.

She has made her choice of TWO boxes from the FOUR laid out in front of her, which were marked as - Deca, Heneca, Icosa & Tosca.

Rayne's selections are - Heneca & Tosca.


Let us first see what were in the boxes which Rayne DIDN'T select -


Box Deca - A SNIPER RIFLE, with 15 Sniper Rifle Shells!

Box Icosa - A ROCKET LAUNCHER, with FIVE ROCKETS!



Those were the ones she missed.

Now, for the ones she chose. They are -


Box Heneca - FIFTEEN BONUS HEALTH PACKS!

Box Tosca - A PLASMA RIFLE, with 10 ELECTRIC BOLTS!


Heartiest Congratulations, Rayne!

Your HP count now stands bolstered with +15.

You are the proud owner of the Plasma Rifle, which fires a controlled Electric Bolt which temporarily stuns your enemy and strips them of 2 HPs per hit. You can use your Plasma Rifle only ONCE per Challenge, and ONLY when you are a designated Hunter in the Zone. Never otherwise.

You can use your new weapons from the next Hunting Zone outing onwards.


And now for the Combo of 2 secret boxes which Rayne was asked to guess, to unlock a special FIFTH hidden box!

Her choices were - Heneca & Tosca.

Again, like MissM before you, you were VERY CLOSE to the correct secret combination. The hidden combination was - Heneca & Icosa.


That concludes the Reward Chamber Outing, folks.

And the Hunting Zone deadline has...TICKED OVER!!!!


Let's go ahead and open the gates.




(quick steps of the guards)






(the lock is unlocked)






(bolt thrown back)





(gates swing open with a loud "CREAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!")




...






Hark!




What am I hearing?!




(RIFLE SHOTS BOOM THROUGH THE ZONE EVERYWHERE!!!!!)




Oops...looks like the Lycans are gonna crawl in, instead of striding in. Each one of them riddled with...SIX holes?!




Folks, the cameras covering the Zone had encountered a technical error. The playback of the entire Zone outing is unavailable at the moment.



However...


The scanners reveal everything!




Let's see what the scanners have revealed...

The Timeline in The Zone



Saytan donated 5 HPs to "whoever needed it most",


Straker donated 8 HPs to "whoever needed it most",


Roshiq gifted 4 HPs for Rayne, and 2 HPs to "whoever needed it most",


Friday13thFan gifted 3 HPs for Rayne,


Bwind22 donated 10 HPs to "whoever needed it most",


and


FreddyMyers donated 6 HPs to "whoever needed it most".



(by this time, Rayne's trip to the Reward Chamber was finished - and the Lycans were patiently waiting for the outcome of that)




---------THEN CAME THE SHOOTING-----------



Fiend Skull was in Sector D, where he fired his crossbow's 3 arrows into CHRONOGRL!!!




Doc Faustus was in Sector A, where he fired his crossbow's 3 arrows into RAYNE!!!




MissMacabre was in Sector H, where she fired her crossbow's 3 arrows, her special BONUS SHOT, and 1 huge rip of her chainsaw, all into RAYNE!!!




Jenna26 was in Sector F, where she fired her crossbow's 3 arrows into RAYNE!!!




Rayne was bleeding, torn, ripped and thankful to her gods for the last Reward Chamber outing, where she had won all those Bonus HPs...

She had 10 shots and a chainsaw rip into her by now, but thankfully enough Bonus HPs which had bolstered her HP count...




Then came Michelle, who was in Sector G, where she fired her crossbow's 3 arrows into CHRONOGRL!!!




Dude Guadalupe landed himself in Sector B, where he fired his crossbow's 3 arrows into CHRONOGRL!!!




Ferretchucker found RAYNE in his roamings, and immediately fired his crossbow's 3 arrows into her!!!

(but alas, in his over-enthusiasm and eager excitement, he forgot to mention which sector he was in!!)




Then Freak went in Sector E, and fired his crossbow's 3 arrows into RAYNE!!!




And that was where the Chainer hid.




His chains darted and curled around Freak, ripping into his body in many places. Freak grabbed and tugged and pulled free repeatedly, his body getting mauled all over.




Luckily, Freak had enough HPs to withstand the Chainer's severe attack. He used up 20 HPs, but survived!!!




And,




that's all!




Eh? What's that? What is your query?




Where was Zero, you ask?




(shrugging)




...beats me.

Seems like Ferret forgot his sector, and Zero forgot his sector AND who to shoot, both, i.e., I received NO PM from Zero!




And because of that, all Lycans have been SHOT FIVE TIMES by the Snipers in the watchtowers when the deadline ticked over!!!




Sorry Lycans. You may enter your compound to rest, and for the more severely injured Freak and gasping MissMacabre, the Medic Center's team is available.




All the gifted/donated HPs stand returned to their respective Demonwraith owners. The TWO Demonwraiths who were specifically targetted, didn't need them.




Let's have a look at the updated statuses...

Shit! How the hell did I forget the sector?!?!?! Sorry team!!!

Sigh.
At least we were only shot five times.

Someone in your team is gonna be hopping mad, Doc. ;)

If my team goes into the hunting ground next round will the other team just please finsih me off cause this is getting aggravating.

Zero, you jerk....

Pfew... Thought I was a goner with that one... Thanks to everyone who donated healthpacks - Lucky we didn't need them!

Aww...I feel bad that you got stuck on the sucky team :(.....Wait a minute, you shot me!...Okay, I feel better now :p


You forgot to add "Ferret, you imbecile" :D

*does a Rayne dance* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...s/HeadBang.gif

Shooting you was just business.This whole every time someone either forgets to send in their answers or forgets to send in their targets crap is getting old.

Thats happened on almost every challenge and or hunting trip hasn't it?? I'll have to go back and look

Yep just about all of them.And I'm tempted to not send in answers for the next challenge so I can finally be killed off and be done with this.
