Rent is totally a slasher movie. As is If, starring horror icon Malcolm Mc Dowell.

I have to clarify one major point here...

You all have to send me YOUR OWN links. Its easy to make a photobucket account (or upload it to imagevenue.com, if you don't want to bother opening one) and send me the link to THAT page.

Links, like PMs, should be INDIVIDUAL. One person from your team has already done the hard part - don't you think you need to do some work too, like opening the puzzle in Paint and marking off the answers in it in your own way? ;)

Image links to the same location WILL stand to lose points. As will sending me the same solved puzzle by one certain team member, uploaded to another location.

I think this was already clarified last year. Everyone sent me their own links and own solved puzzles through PMs then. So I thought all of you already knew this? :p

Considering you didn't clarify this until midway through the competition, and we do have a great deal of members who were NOT participants in previous BR event and therefore would have no way of knowing this, I feel that it would be incredibly unfair for this rule to come into effect on this challenge. From here on out I find it entirely understandable, however with no prior warning it just seems downright mean.

If he allowed the people who screwed up (those who have never participated in a Battle Royale) to resubmit, I'd say it would be more than fair...I warned the new members of my team that they had to upload their own...I'm hoping that they did

I'd agree with that. Extend the deadlne and allow those who couldn't have known better to fix their mistake. Completely fair.

The deadline is already 2 days away, Sweetie...Many people were able to complete this in less than 24 hours...The others should be able to do it in double that amount of time without needing an extension...Also, If someone is going to pass answers, they should also pass warnings if there's a chance something could get screwed up...Just sayin

In (again) and just to make sure it was personalized enough i smeared monkey feces across it! that should clearly mark it as mine

Return, we told our team the rules. Your team should have done the same thing.

That is why there is a team. And that is why there are members in a team who have been a part of BR before - to pass on THIS kind of information to each other.

We didn't have this problem last year. Everyone involved in BR II, new or old, sent me their own entry with their own links. Some of them even asked me through PMs (like Doc this year again), if they could do it using Paint tools. Many entries were scratched and dotted all over, showing the struggle of people who weren't versed with Imaging tools. But they did it. It wasn't a problem then. Naturally, I would presume everyone (or most members who have been a part of BR before) already knew this, and passed it on to their team members.

But you are right. I should have clarified this when posting the Challenge itself. I did mean to post the instructions also, but with the huge storm yesterday evening knocking out the electricity, the telephone and broadband from 6 PM till 2 AM in the night when all was restored and I was falling down on my chair half-asleep, it skipped my mind. I was struggling to stay awake, but I had promised to post the new Challenge by Noon EST in previous posts, so I had to stay awake to honor my promise to all of you.

(btw, the editing done the first time was because 2 films were not showing in the puzzle, MissM. Only 18 films were showing. I didn't notice it till I posted the Challenge. Had to hurry and add the other 2, then come back with the new image and edit the post. Thought nobody might have noticed it, but you did.)

Editing the original challenge at so late a time would have been unfair and mean, but not an additional post explaining it. Hence the reason why I haven't even started on the scoring yet. Doc sent me a second entry - I will count that as the valid one.

No action has been taken so far, and none will be taken.

I'm in, hoping it's right.......
