The First Mighty HDC Battle Royale for the UNDEAD!

[neverending]

Well, last challenge we got mauled because one of our members didn't get his answers in. I heard from one Cenobite he didn't submit any answers because the challenge was "too hard." I say let them take their lumps just as we did last time.

makes sense - because thats why they got killed in the 1st place - too busy to get stuff in on time

I've actually been trying to make the challenges difficult and interesting, but not impossible unless your a walking movie library difficult. And actually, since there is a theme to all these challenges, they're not that hard if you know where to look. You also get extra time if you figure out the clue that I post the day before.

I've done it this way because I'd rather have a clear winner and not a tie. I want the best team to win and not the whole thing be a game of chance. At the same time, I've tried to also give some power to those who lose so that things don't become completely one sided.

It can still be anyone's game and I hope that people won't stop playing just because it's "too hard". If it was easy, it wouldn't be any fun and it wouldn't be worth anything to win.

We lost fair and sqaure. I don't mind keeping on playing although the tasks are very hard. I'll stay until I die. I was unlucky this time in that I didn't think to check this thread and missed the challenge, and when I did check it, it was too late. Keep going Paps.

I agree with you. I think you're doing a great job. I had only seen a few of these films in the last challenge, yet I was able to find several answers and with my team mates we figured them all out (I think!)

Teamwork people! That's why you're on a team!

Keep up the great work, Ms. Noir!

[fortunato]

definitely. i'm still interesting in playing for sure.

Thank you. :)

Yeah, I haven't seen all the movies that I make questions about either. I get 99% of my info from the internet. I pick a genre that I like to research and sometimes I've seen quite a few in that group, and sometimes hardly any of them.

And actually in making up these questions, I've discovered movies I knew nothing about before that definitely need watching. Or movies that I haven't seen in ages that deserve another viewing.

I agree it's all good.

You are doing a great job and we just didn't do it so we pay the price.

I most likely would've missed this one... unless you said Sandy Koufax. Good looking game Noir, you and _V_ are troopers.

Definitely keep it going...you're doing a great job, Noir. It's been damn fun.
