Anybody on my team who misses me, which is going to be quite likely in the next few days as I am dealing with some insane deadlines, you can contact me on Myspace or facebook.

STAGE ONE - ENTRY LEVEL Welcome, Machetes & Chainsaws, to your first Spawning Levels - Entry Island #1 and Entry Island #2. First, the Chainsaws. You have spawned on Island #1 (refer to map on Page 13 of this thread), and this is where you find yourselves at :-  Study the map carefully. You stand right in front of an old village, spawning at the Main Street which leads into the village, and two other paths which act as diversions from the village. These diversions, however, are not accessible by any of you. There are several exit points (indicated from A-H), and each path leads out of this map. But to reach an exit point, you must go through the village and it's 12 marked places and 1 unmarked place. The map provides you with more details of all 12 marked places. The 1 unmarked place is a secret. POINT TO NOTE - Exit points D & E lead to Bonus levels. You might find yourselves lucky enough to enter one of them and find several pleasant surprises waiting for you there. There are 13 of you, Chainsaws. Each one is assigned a particular numerical code by me. I need all of you to select ONE question each from the following list, and send me your correct answer to THAT question ONLY. Your choice of the question number will determine your fate, and your answers will determine which marked/unmarked places you will enter. TWO PARTICIPANTS OF THE SAME TEAM CANNOT SELECT THE SAME QUESTION. Ready? Here we go... 01 - Which city was named "End of Strife" because King Alaungpaya founded it after beating the Mons? 02 - According to The Foundation novels by Isaac Asimov, on which planet had Hari Sheldon established the Second Foundation? 03 - Who became the first prisoner on the French penal colony of Devil's Island after being accused of treason? 04 - To what is a misocapnist allergic? 05 - Which nursery rhyme was written to mock Mary, Queen of Scots? 06 - Which "prince of demons" helped Jesus cure a blind and dumb demoniac according to the Pharisees? 07 - The terminal points of which annual race are Putney and Mortlake? 08 - Where are Islets of Langerhans located? 09 - What travels at 1088 feet per second at sea level at 32º F? 10 - Which two words were combined to form the computer game Pokemon? 11 - Which American presidential retreat was originally called "Shangri-La", till it was renamed by Eisenhower? 12 - Which famous product is made with a secret ingredient called "Formula 7-X'? 13 - Which European country is ruled by the House of Orange? Now, the Machetes. You have spawned on Island #2 (refer to map on Page 13 of this thread), and this is where you find yourselves at :-  Study the map carefully. You all stand right at the edge of a forest, guarded by closed gates. There are NINE spawning exits from this forest, marked A-I, but in order to get to an exit you must pass through one of the SIXTEEN spots designated all around the forest as checkpoints. POINT TO NOTE - Exit points E & F lead to Bonus levels. You might find yourselves lucky enough to enter one of them and find several pleasant surprises waiting for you there. There are 13 of you, Machetes. Each one is assigned a particular numerical code by me. I need all of you to select ONE question each from the following list, and send me your correct answer to THAT question ONLY. Your choice of the question number will determine your fate, and your answers will determine which marked/unmarked places you will enter. Ready? Here we go... 01 - Founded on September 04th, 1781, which city's full title in Spanish means "The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of Angels"? 02 - Which actress-singer is the only person ever to win the Oscar, the Grammy, the Emmy and the Tony Awards? 03 - The deficiency of which Vitamin causes the disease beri-beri? 04 - What oily liquid is found on the heads of sperm whales? 05 - What island's name means "Sulphur Island" in Japanese? 06 - What did France gift to the United States on the centenary of the Declaration of Independence? 07 - Which flowering perennial of the sundew family is famous for its habit of catching and digesting insects? 08 - Which legendary rock band's members once included Charlie Watts and Brian Jones? 09 - In the human body, what are the metacarpo-pharangeal joints? 10 - Which jazz musician was spoofed in Disney's Jungle Book as "King Louie, the King of the monkeys"? 11 - Which real life French murderer was the inspiration for Monsieur Verdoux? 12 - In George Orwell's 1984, the three slogans of the Party are - "War is Peace", "Freedom is Slavery", and? 13 - Name the dictator of Panama who surrendered to American forces in 1990? You may either PM me, or email me your answer at [email protected], indicating your Name, Race/Class & Team, and the number of the question selected. EACH PARTICIPANT SHOULD SELECT ONE QUESTION ONLY! No two participants can select the SAME question, please be mindful. ONLY ONE ENTRY PER PARTICIPANT WILL BE ACCEPTED. There is no time limit. All the best, folks!

Answers have started to pour in. Expect an update at Noon EST (less than 2 hours from now).
Also, I have a VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT to make. Chainsaws... Machetes... (imitating Danny Glover from "Predator 2") "We got a new player in town!" Yes, a mystery participant has just enrolled in HDC Crysis. And THAT participant has decided to be a...RENEGADE! A vigilante. No affiliations. No love. No mercy. (No, it's not me!) They (read Mystery Contestant, let's call them "Anonymous") will be on their own when advancing through Crysis, and if they confront any one of you...expect a battle to either submission or death! The Assassin from Battle Royale was a mercenary for hire. He had a price. But Mr. Anonymous is NOT a mercenary. They can't be hired. They don't have a price. And they want to win HDC Crysis on their own. And together with all the elements of Crysis, YOU TOO stand in their way! I welcome Mr Anonymous to Crysis. And wish them the very best of luck! Mr. Anonymous, you have been sent to be spawned on Island #2 (since it has more Checkpoints). To advance further ahead, please send the answer to this question :- In which constellation is the Crab Nebula? Same conditions apply to you as the above Entry level post. Good luck!
