Wow... must be easy to keep yourself from getting bored when you get old. :)

But yeah I noticed I forgot to mention that I allready sent my answers in. So I don't want anybody thinking I was trying to steal answers.

urgeok2 05-18-2008 04:10 PM

not just now that i'm old .. i have no memory of ever knowing what it was like to be bored.

(except when i was a little kid - forced to go to church)

neverending 05-18-2008 04:20 PM

Claims of being bored are one of the things that pisses me off the most. Especially by people that are on the internet. Here they are connected to the greatest informational, entertainment & educational resource history has ever known and they're bored.

When I was in junior high my English teacher said something that stuck in my mind forever- "Only idle minds become bored." It's true. Only people who have a lack of imagination become bored.

Wiki makes this statement: "Boredom is a condition characterized by perception of one's environment as dull, tedious, and lacking in stimulation." The key word there is PERCEPTION. One perceives their environment as boring even when they in fact have an infinite amount of choices.

My apologies for this tangenital rant. The mere mention of the word "bored" sets me on edge.

ROUND 18 - THE HUNTING SEASON OF HDC BATTLE ROYALE


For being the LOWEST scorer in Challenge #18, Posher778 is hereby taken in front of the Snipers in the Watchtowers, who load up their sniper rifles and shoot him exactly 10 TIMES!!

He uses 10 HPs to heal his bleeding wounds, and so stands 10 HPs short of his initial total.

Then the losing contestants are led into The Zone - UNARMED.

Sole Hunter Psycom5K, be mindful that The Predator lurks in The Zone somewhere, which is divided into two broad areas - Alpha & Beta. You have to PM me your choice of The Predator's hideout. Failure to choose an area will mean you stand to be blasted by The Predator's plasma beam ONCE!

Now, for the weapon you will be using to do your hunting :

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...p/mugumba1.jpg

It's a Pulse Rifle, complete with 10 Bullets and 2 shelled-rockets inside its launcher!!

You may PM me your choice of target/targets (as the case may be), alongwith your choice of the Predator's hideout area.

You have until Midnight EST TONIGHT to complete your hunting.

FAILURE TO FIRE YOUR PULSE RIFLE TILL THE DEADLINE EXPIRES WILL MEAN YOU STAND TO BE SHOT TWENTY TIMES BY THE SNIPERS IN THE WATCHTOWERS!!

All the best.

Let's now see what you have won...

Despare 05-19-2008 08:22 AM

Good job Psycho, don't worry, I won't bring up any saying about visually impaired rodents or anything like that. Congrats!

_____V_____ 05-19-2008 08:25 AM

THE REWARD CHAMBER


The Winner of Challenge #18 - Psycom5K - is hereby led into The Reward Chamber and he has 3 boxes in front of him, marked A, B & C.

You may choose any 2 boxes for yourself, and the contents of it will be yours for keeps. Choose wisely, however, for one of those THREE boxes is empty!!

All the best!

Disease 05-19-2008 08:26 AM

I thought I had that one... You wouldn't shoot somebody who is unarmed would you?

Psycom5k 05-19-2008 10:58 AM

Well no offense to you, I'd just rather hear it from V since this is his game. Just so there are no mix ups or anything.

Psycom5k 05-19-2008 04:26 PM

I'm waiting to see you get blasted by the Predator too.

Psycom5k 05-19-2008 09:13 PM

Yeah wouldn't it be funny if I didn't get blasted though?

GorePhobia 05-19-2008 09:43 PM

I guess so but I think V fell asleep at the computer. LOL

RESULTS OF ROUND 18 IN THE HUNTING SEASON OF HDC BATTLE ROYALE


The gates are thrown open and they all crawl back in. TWO out of the SIX are patched up from head to toe, and ONE contestant is missing!!

The medics team hurries into The Zone to find the body, while we rewind the clock to earlier in the day...



- Hunter Psycom5K walked calmly through the gates and checked his watch. He then looked around. Apparently satisfied at something with a grunt, he walked to the right. In the distance, he spotted a black leather coat amidst the green shrubbery and instantly knew who it was. Treading forward silently, he took careful aim with his pulse rifle and FIRED RAPIDLY!!

Freak felt the bullets tear into his flesh through his clothing. His back was riddled with 10 bullets one after the other as he fell forward from the impact. A hasty grab at his small collection of HPs wasnt enough to heal all his wounds, and Freak was left slightly wounded after using up all his 9 HPs.

Psycom then took his shotgun out, and marched forward into the bushes purposefully. He overtook a crawling Freak and shot him twice in quick succession. Freak came to a standstill, unable to move from the severe pain. Psycom stood tall over him, and pointed the shotgun directly at Freak's head from behind. He pulled the trigger.

Freak felt a blinding pain as his brains sizzled and burst open, and then there was a welcoming darkness...


FREAK IS DEAD!!


Psycom let out a loud and long whoop of victory and moved on.


Despare hid behind a large tree, away from the shooting. He heard the shots faintly in the distance and moved away. Psycom came running through the foliage, and came to a standstill inches away from where Despare hid. Just then, a bird nearby flew upwards into the sky and Psycom whirled. Before Despare could turn around, Psycom let the two shell-rockets of the pulse rifle fly in his direction.

BAM!!

BAM!!!

Despare flew through the air and landed heavily on the nearby rocks. His whole body sprouted numerous gaping wounds and the bleeding was immense. Fortunately he had a wealth of HPs which helped him heal them quickly. 10 used HPs later, he was Fit again...although sore and full of pain.

Psycom threw the empty pulse rifle away and took out his shotgun again. He loaded it up quickly and went after Despare. Soon, he came up to Despare who was taking a breather after applying his HPs, and rapidly shot him 3 times before his shotgun went empty!

Despare groaned as the shells thudded into his body. He took out 3 more HPs and healed himself, muttering a long curse at the Hunter, who threw his empty shotgun away and started walking towards the gates.

Despare survived the onslaught, but had 29 HPs left with him.

Psycom, apparently satisfied with his efforts, whistled a tune as he walked forward nonchalantly.

Unfortunately for him, a pair of dazzling, bright eyes looked at him from up in the trees. A trio of red dots zoomed and targeted at his head and there was a loud THUMP! which resonated in the trees. Psycom heard it, and tried to duck. He still caught The Predator's plasma blast full on his shoulder and back, bits of burning flesh and blood flying out of the side of his body. He fell forward on the base of a tree and quickly ducked behind it, moaning from the blinding pain. 15 used HPs later, he was FIT again.


So now, we are left with the Final 5. And tomorrow, a surprise awaits the FIVE of you survivors...

I will let you all rest through the night, and the FINAL TWIST of Battle Royale will be revealed tomorrow morning.


Good night, contestants! Have a good rest!

neverending 05-19-2008 09:52 PM

RIP Freak.....

Psycom5k 05-19-2008 09:55 PM

Shit, I was hoping to keep my hps....

GorePhobia 05-19-2008 09:56 PM

RIP Freak.

John got ROCKED by the Predator!

EDIT: So what did Psycom get as a reward?

Yeah I didn't want to attack him, but it was the only sure way to get it to 5 guys, and to lower despares hps down, because I was hoping that I chose the right sector so that I wouldn't get shot by the predator. Then that would leave me with an advantage for the new twist. But I chose the wrong one and I lost 15 hps, but I'm still alive and I at least lowered despares hps almost the same ammount so the gap isn't that bad.

Edit: yeah what gore said, what did I win?

Box A contained - A Pulse Rifle with 10 bullets and a shelled-grenade!!
