Answers In!

Now I'm curious as to whether you beat V...That was a pretty intense race :)

He's sneaky- probably sent them in an hour ago ....


:cool:

Answers are starting to come in now. Just a reminder that these are 4 part questions.

Mine were sent in this pattern :-

#. (Movie name), (Book/novel/novella name) by (writer name), (year of publishing).

Your format was fine :)

4 entries in, 2 to go

Well, guess I'm going into the Catacombs again...


:mad:

Hope we get a gun with endless bullets.

I d love to blast you all with plenty of lead. :)

Might as well end the challenge early- we all know who won & lost.

Not necessarily.

I want to make this game as fair as possible and that means that all the participants have an even playing field, and that it's a true wits vs. wits. Since certain people can only be on at certain times and people who can get on earlier in the day have a much greater advantage (since most of the challenges are posted around lunch time), than those on at night.

So, starting with this challenge (if it does turn out to be a tie), and all subsequent tie challenges. The will be a tie breaker of....Rock, Paper, Scissors! I will explain how this works at the first challenge that ends in a tie.


Ah, the twists and turns of Battle Royale...

HaHaHa...That is one of the COOLEST things I have ever heard :)


How about calling it...Bludgeon (Rock), Burial Shroud (Paper), Reaper's scythe (scissors)?

With the exact same properties and rules, of course :)

Bludgeon, Shroud, and Scythe. I like that :) Thanks Rayne.

Now I feel special :D

Hmm this just got interesting.

ah! awesome.

You're welcome, fortunato.

was that your idea?

No, it was my idea to send you my answers :rolleyes:

So how many people still need to get their answers in?

Answers are all in. And I know we lost because I had a stupid wrong answer due to carelessness. So, to my team- I apologize for screwing us over.

Results of Challenge #2: Movie Adaptations
 

Well it looks like we have a clear winner as only one person got all the answers correct.



Here's a look at the answers that people got wrong:


#8: A man enlists his brother's wife to help him return to physical form.

Incorrect answer I received: The Fly (1958), which is wrong because a man enlists his brother's wife to help his brother, not himself

Correct answer: Hellraiser, The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker, 1986.


#9: An FBI agent enlists the help of someone he put behind bars.

Incorrect answer I received: Silence of the Lambs, which is wrong because the FBI agent didn't put the killer she goes to for help behind bars, and she's also a woman.

Correct answer: Manhunter/Red Dragon, Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, 1981.

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...e/oklahoma.jpg

Love Scenes in Slasher flicks?

LOL, no. :p

Think about what type of movies they are.

Hah- I know what film that second pic is from, and who the actors are.... but I have no clue how it relates to our next challenge.

Movies with sequels or remakes?...Franchises?

Nope- I've figured out the clue, but I won't say it here.

Yeah I didn't want to post a picture with movie title in it for the second picture because I thought it would give away the clue to easily.

Deadites:

I just realized that I may not have been super clear that each of you have to send me a name for your specific target.

That is all. :)

We're strategizing.... the Deadites move a bit slow....

I know the clue....but I shant say




should I even be in this thread....ya know....being alive and all

Want me to shoot you in the head?...Just to make it okay :D
