The Mighty HDC Battle Royale III

[_____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!

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

Anyway, just sent mine.

GO PHANTOMS!

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!

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!

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!
