Task 4 - Work, love and play are the great balance wheels of man's being - ENDED!

The final six contestants are: Momiji, Jessweeee♪, Goldenboko, ~*~Celes~*~, Freya, and Aerith's Knight.

Perhaps in the past you haven't seen much of a connection between the frontsite and the forums, but the winds of change are blowing and that is becoming less and less the case. A CK now must be willing and able to both moderate the forums and contribute to the frontsite to at least some degree.

And so for task four that's what you'll be doing:

Part 1
Find five threads that you think should be closed. Post links to them here, and justify your choices.

WARNING! There can be no repeat threads. If someone already posted with one of the threads you chose, you have to choose another.

Part 2
Second accounts pop up on EoFF from time to time. Some are jokes, some are banned members trying to sneak in, some are regular members who are just being shady.

You must select one member to accuse of being a second account. Justify your choice.

Also, no duplicates yadda yadda. And known second accounts don't count.

Part 3
Now for I'm sure your favorite part: the frontsite. You actually have to choices here.

You may...
A) Contribute something to the FFXIII section. We have a to do list here.

B) If you haven't played FFXIII or would just prefer this task, you can write some reviews. The thread for that, with many examples even, is here. Also, Tavrobel says that if these aren't submitted in Notepad he will hunt you down, so I suppose make them attachments.

Keep in mind that not only is quality important, but quantity can play a factor. You may choose to do A and B if you wish. You may submit several reviews. You may type up several chapters from the FFXIII datalog. I will leave how much you do up to your judgment, but keep in mind that if someone submits a lot more than you...

You have 36 hours to complete this task. Only three contestants will make it to the next and final round.

Sadly most of the extra 12 hours I'll spend in school! :( Ah well...! This should be fun, although that second account thing is troublesome, I mean the chance of there being 1 second account right now is fairly low, let alone 6, we aren't eliminated just for a wrong guess right?

EDIT: Reread. It says nothing about "Made after this thread" in the second account part. This is what happens when I post at 6:24 AM!

Just putting it out there, even though I'm bitterly disappointed Jiro had to bow out, that I'm giving my support to Jessweeee♪ because she has an awesome name :p

Part 1

1. CK Competition & The Staff This should be closed. It's had off topic posts since the second page, there's basically the same thread in there, and the posts are becoming personal attacks. I mean it was already closed once for being a repeat thread and it seems like it was created out of personal vendetta so it was in bad taste anyway, and then it was reopened by Raist from the look of things. Let the repeat thread die in peace.

2. Post some of your favorite .gifs. I think this should also be closed. I get it, the Wonder Square is for things slightly too spammy for General Chat, like games and welcome threads. This is neither and once upon a time you got punched in the face for promoting animated .gifs and lolcat posting.

3. Noisy Sex Will Get You Arrested - This should also be closed. EoEo is suppose to be a place of important discussions, which this, isn't. And without questioning the importantness of the content of the link, I have another problem with this thread. I like EoEo, it's a cool place to read opinions and debates (although I typically stay out of the line of fire), however just linking to a topic and saying "discuss" is a habit that posters are once again falling into there. Once we cracked down on this to improve the quality of topics in EoEo, I believe we should begin to again.

4. Fang and Vanille *spoiler* should either be closed, or merged with Lovers? [SPOILERS UP TO CHAPTER 11]. They have the same topic and are being posted in simultaneously. Merging is probably better due to the amount of posts in the Fang and Vanille thread.

5. Finally, How Can Kingdom Hearts Appeal to More Mainstream Disney Fans should be closed. Warnings where already handed out in this thread (ironically enough right after that someone proceeded to join the forum and advertise), but there's a point where there is nothing left worth discussing about and only bad can happen in a thread. This one reminds me a lot of how this one turned out it should be closed before more unrelated to topic flaming begins.

Part II
CloudRay and CloudFace looks like a sudden charge of heart in what they want their name to be, especially since they where made in the same day.

If you're looking for a real, second account made by a long-time to sneak back in or be shady, no random looking is likely to find someone, because let's face it, who would name their second account similarly to their regular one without being too obvious? Yes, I know the idea of this, but it's tough to just out and say, "This is a second account of ________" after a mere 36 hours. Especially if the person intends to be really sneaky (see Vincent, Thunder God, sure we all thought The Devil was a second account, but exactly who was anyone's guess due to the "Christmas"ness of the account), situations like that just have to be monitored. If I had to guess, this dude looks a lot like Dynast-Kid, and mentions Viera in his only post (Dynast-Kid was a huge FFXII junkie). I like to imagine him being smarter than posting a picture of himself and seeing if he could get away with being a second account after leaving so long.

Part 3

Made a review of Final Fantasy VIII. That is attached.

Started some threads in the FFXIII to promote people to throw some info in! Too tired to continue, but I want to make a few more. Hopefully I get a chance to before this thing is over.

Well that might be just about it for what I have for this task!

Task 3: One materia list for FF:Crisis Core, to be found here: http://forums.eyesonff.com/site-volu...ml#post2809530 and one review for KHII, to be found here: http://forums.eyesonff.com/site-volu...ml#post2815063

-----------------------------------------

Task 2:

Well, Jiro made it fairly easy for task 2.

Case: Mrs. Jiro is Jiro's second account
Arguments:
- Mrs. Jiro has sporadic posts, a few a week at best (once a year at worst), not active posting, yet updated enough to follow this contest and post even before some contestants.
- The name, I mean come on. It's not like Jiro is some fancy do dah that's known across the world, unless you count some dude in Japan.
- Even though they have so many similarities, I don't see Jiro posting in her visitor messages saying "Hey, you have my name", besides one measly joke in the beginning.

J'accuse!

edit: Not Jiro's second account, probably someone else's. Or someone really bored.

I'll leave this up until I find someone better.

edit: And here it is. http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/noname.html

Case: Moon rabbit? 's second account
Arguments:
- Doesn't post for years until MR makes a thread called no name. http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-c...4-no-name.html
- No activity, yet is able to find that thread (no name thread). Either extremely shy lurker or second account

J'accuse!

-----------------------------------------

And for Task 1:

1.
2.
During that thread making frenzy: http://forums.eyesonff.com/heart-bod...ns-kh-kh2.html This one and http://forums.eyesonff.com/heart-bod...sh-attack.html this one. They are basically just ripoffs of my thread here: http://forums.eyesonff.com/heart-bod...othing-me.html

My thread: "Do you use magic etc.?"
Their thread:
- Do you use summons? (kind of magic)
- Who doesn't button bash? (ergo, who uses magic instead)

I mean, at least momiji* admits it was a ripoff.

------------------------------
3.
http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fan...ght-x-2-a.html

That thread just starts with Raistlin whining, has no real topic, and shouldn't have stayed in the first place. It's just asking for a fight, of course, if there are people who actually like X-2.

---------------------------------------
4.
And this one: http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-f...nother-ff.html should belong as a post in this one: http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-f...pressions.html. You could say it's a recommendation thread, but without the guy saying what he likes/prefers, it's basically become a thread where members shout out the FF's they like best, which is the same as this thread: http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-f...l-fantasy.html

-----------------------------------
5.
Not to be discriminate: http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fan...ml#post2814320
The thread is over, resolved, but people keep talking. I don't like that.

This one ain't so bad! From the sidelines I think I'll be rooting for my comrade Momiji. :thumb:

Lol, sporadic posts? Yeah, I joined 2 years ago (a couple of months after we got together) simply for the novelty of it. Posted then once, maybe twice, didn't really get the hang of it. Since then I only ever come on whenever he mentions something to do with EOFF, just to see what he's on about :roll2. I read lots, post only very, very occasionally when I feel like I can add something to the conversation (which is 'sporadically', yes, but evidence? No.)

Erm, Jiro has been Dakoda's screename forever. MSN, EOFF, LJ, everything. On the internet, I think of him as Jiro. Therefore, the name makes perfect sense :D (Oh, except that we're not married. And Jiro's not a lastname. But whatever.)

May I reiterate my earlier point about me not really getting the hang of it? I still don't really understand the concept of visitor messages/how to use them. Jiro knows that. We do have other methods of communicating, ya know ;)

Other things I would like to point out:
1. What is the point? Why would he pretend to be his own wife/girlfriend? Kind of sad to think that you think he would do that!
2. I go by the name missaira on LJ. Comment his entries quite frequently. Any other EOFFers on LJ can attest to that.
3. Have you not seen the photo of him and I? It's in a picture thread somewhere :)
4. If you'd been paying attention, he dropped out of the comp because he's driving all the way to Townsville and won't have much internet access for the next week or so. Why on earth would he pull out, but still make an effort to log in and pretend to be me?
5. I am so much more eloquent than him. There is no way he could've put this defense together :p

I'll hunt you down for that as well, especially since I'm the one who has to code these things up. :kaoplain:

Anyway, definitely making this more difficult. I'm gonna need some time to think. 33 hours is plenty of time...

EDIT: Also, does the second account accusation have to be true to count, or does it simply have to be explained in a clear and logical manner, with valid reasons? Also, do they have to have been signed up as a joke or for malicious reasons?

That aside, how about...
Stud Muff
Stud Muff21
stud muff1

All joined on March 11 of this year, all apparently made within a timespan of 30 minutes (their last activities were made within 30 minutes of each other, on March 11).

If those don't count, I'm have a feeling these should:
julieandrews
juliawells
angelinebrown
paulinephiliphs *new*

First, there is julieandrews was the first one, whose single post had a title of 'hiiiii', a partially on-topic response, and a snipped advertising link.

Next, here is juliawells, with her similar name aside, posted in a similar way in her single post, where she posts a quick response (actually on-topic, this time), and leaves an advertising link (which I did report yesterday, mind you).

Finally, we have angelinebrown. Her single post, while moderately on-topic, has a title of 'hiiiii', and an advertising link which I shall report when I finish typing all of this.

I think it is no coincidence that these ladies (lady?....man? you can never be sure) have all registered within about a week of each other, have similar names (firstnamelastname), and all of them post their advertising links in the same way. I'm sort of assuming that julieandrews posted in the same way before she was snipped, I'll admit, but I do not think that it's a coincidence that both posts had identical titles ('hiiiii'), and since angelinebrown's advertising link was posted in the same way that juliawells's advertising link was, I think it's safe to assume the same of Miss(?) julieandrews. Therefore, I think they are either second accounts of the same person, or a handful of people making accounts in near-identical ways. Either way, I think at the very least that their posts should be snipped, if you do not decide to eliminate them outright.

EDIT@4:20am EST: I've found another one! Meet paulinephiliphs, who, like the above 3, has but one single post, with a title of 'hiiiii', an on-topic post, and yet another advertising link after the post, not in a signature, just like the others!

Depends if you want to win or not. CK"s have to show good judgment.

Oh wow this one's going to be tough! I can't play FFXIII, so I guess it's time to write some reviews n.n

I'm going to edit all of my Part One and Two entries into this post!

So Far I have...

You mean like blaming Goldenboko for something I said? He never even posted in either of those threads. I gave you credit for the similar topic, but you never mentioned Summons, so I made a thread for it. As a matter of fact, you admitted to not knowing they existed at all!

Good luck you all!

Fine, so it was you, big deal. It's about threads, not people.

And yes, I admitted I didn't know they existed, otherwise I would've made a thread that said: "Do you ever use magic or summons", ergo, anything but melee attacks. Seemed to me that was pretty obvious. It's like making a Crisis core thread: "Do you ever use materia?", and then another one pops up, "Do you ever use Fusion materia". It's the same thing, but not.


But I'll rectify that it was you that thread spammed, not Gobo. As Boko admitted himself in this thread http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-c...g-awesome.html, it's becoming increasingly harder to differentiate.

Part 1:

http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fan...-help-wtf.html the matter was resolved. Irrelevant because it's from '09. Too old to count, methinks.

http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-c...ml#post2815000 advertising thread. Immediate closure and person should be banned, as the rules clearly state no advertising is permitted, unless in a signature.


Part 2:
PaladinCecil
*PaladinCecil*


I suspect one of these to be the second account of the other because:

-They have similar names, and both use the same avatar.

-*PaladinCecil* had a different name when he joined but changed it to *PaladinCecil* in July '06. Probably the original PaladinCecil who forgot he'd already signed up before as PaladinCecil, so he added * before and after his name so that he could use that same name, as duplicate names aren't allowed.


That's all I really have, as the join dates are 2 years and 5 months apart, but that could just mean that he forgot about this place and came back and forgot his log-in info.

Another suspect for duplicate accounts!

http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/madcap_wuggly.html this person was banned 7 years ago.

Part Three:

My review for FFII GBA version can be found here: http://forums.eyesonff.com/2815183-post96.html

Wow I have to work :/ Since when did CK's contribute to the front site, I thought that was a site staff thing? Whatever, might as well get to work. :/

this task is harder than it sounds. -.o

I'll just put all of my Task 1 threads here and update as I go.

#1. Zack (FFVII) in Birth By Sleep...

Starts off as simple speculation, and then derails into a slap fight over how you 'properly' pronounce Zack's name, then into a touch of member moderation, as so described by PuPu pointing out the obvious instead of clicking that 'warn' button-- especially when it should have been closed when the slap fight started.

#2. FFIV DS

Consists of a single post with really no topic for discussion. There are already a couple of FFIV DS discussion threads on the front page still that are only few months old or so (and it should be okay to bump them, since I wouldn't consider the FFIV forum to be a high-traffic one). Bottom line, it's nice you like the game, but there's really nothing to discuss! It should be closed or merged with one of the other threads.

#3. Add a little Jesus to your forum fun!

I guess if calling out threads for being pretty much the same thing counts, this one qualifies. Even if you've got a specific destination, this thread is pretty much the same as Raistlin's Wikipedia Game thread that is still on the first page as of this edit, and was last posted in 4 days ago. We really don't need two threads for essentially the same game.

#4. Arc is adorable

I wouldn't consider Mulley's post to be bumping, really, since the FFIII forum really gets no traffic at all-- but if the only post it'll get in 3-4 months is a post asking if posting in it is bumping it, its potential as a thread is kind of lost. If he were to have post something on topic, I'd have left it alone. However, this is not the case. Time to close it.

#5. its easy

To be fully honest, I can't make head or tails of what the hell ghost in the dark is saying. Since there really isn't a topic, from what I could try to understand, all I see coming out of this is either an irrelevant topic or people trolling the kid. I think it's best to nip it in the bud and close it up and fill ghost in the dark in on how these forums work. Threads need a topic, and being understandable sure helps, as well. I hesitated to bring this thread up because I feel like I'm picking on a 13-year old newbie, but that's really no excuse for not making your opening post understandable.

Part 1

1) Well this one Zidane's Voice can be closed or merged with Good/Bad English Voices in the dissidia Section. The second thread has replies within this month so there was no need for a new thread.

This is really hard since you made us create legit threads and posts, flooding the forum with threads, so finding things to close is way hard.

2) Mully keeps reviving this thread like every time it dies. He waits like a month and it's back. A thread from September needs to die already! Where does a general keep his armies?

3) This thread, Bars, asked do you complete the side quests in bars. Two hours later the thread, Game "completion"?, asked that same question and also more questions. Maybe close one or merge them.

4) Your first Final Fantasy and Who/what introduced you to the final fantasy series? are pretty much the same thread. Close/merge.

5) The first of a new experience was a thread that talked about the DS version and peoples opinions on it and Final Fantasy III REmake is a newer thread on their opinions of the new version. Close the newer one, it was made a month later but it is a lower FF section and the first thread wasn't even far form the active ones at the top.

Part 2
└┤　∵├〆 is Clout. It even says it in the about me xD and he's friends with him. Second account :D damn too easy to be true I knew it. People probably know about him already.

iJoel! Could very well be Erdrick Holmes. i could very well be pulling strings here but I really don't think Joel is a very common name and that would be something Joel would do, would it not?

If that doesn't work then how about

nehasenworld
nehaworld

Part 3
I haven't finished XIII and haven't had access to it for a little over a week now so I can't really help with that. So I wrote a review for IX cause well it's my fav and I feel I know the most about that one.

Here's a link to my post that's in the review thread.

Close/delete this thread and ban this member wander girl.

Just got back from school and it looks like my adversaries have quite a head start on me. Better yet? I'm still busy! Ah well, let them have a head start; they will need it! (ohoho!)

Not particularly. I never asked what people's first Final Fantasy game was. I asked who or what introduced them to the series. I understand what you mean, but it really wasn't my intent for it to be like that.

Even if it wasn't your intent the same stories can be told in both threads.

That could be said for a lot of threads about a similar topic, but again, I see what you mean. :p

2. Post some of your favorite .gifs. I think this should also be closed. I get it, the Wonder Square is for things slightly too spammy for General Chat, like games and welcome threads. This is neither and once upon a time you got punched in the face for promoting animated .gifs and lolcat posting.

3. Noisy Sex Will Get You Arrested - This should also be closed. EoEo is suppose to be a place of important discussions, which this, isn't. And without questioning the importantness of the content of the link, I have another problem with this thread. I like EoEo, it's a cool place to read opinions and debates (although I typically stay out of the line of fire), however just linking to a topic and saying "discuss" is a habit that posters are once again falling into there.

These recent bad poster newb accounts that have been popping up are your second accounts that was created just for this contest, aren't they Shlup? :colbert:

Alright I finished all the parts or at least I think all the things I have are good. I might whip out some more reviews later but I can't do much when it comes to XIII since I haven't finished it or played it in a week.

4. Fang and Vanille *spoiler* should either be closed, or merged with Lovers? [SPOILERS UP TO CHAPTER 11]. They have the same topic and are being posted in simultaneously. Merging is probably better due to the amount of posts in the Fang and Vanille thread.

5. Finally, How Can Kingdom Hearts Appeal to More Mainstream Disney Fans should be closed.

Note: Editting this into the first post, just want it timestamped when I wrote it.

Edit: Time to go back and check to make sure non of mine where already taken.

If you feel like your competitors are ahead of you, you are always welcome to come back and do more. You still have almost 24 hours. If you feel your work is solid, then just relax.

Also, in previous rounds I've been double-checking and trying to help out. I leave this task entirely to your judgment. If you make an error and pick a bad thread I won't be pointing it out until time's up, so be sure you've all your ducks in a row.

As long as your reasons are solid it's fine, though catching a real second account would obviously earn you more kudos.

Often it's just giving feedback to the site staff, though as a whole the forums staff is trying to get more involved, especially with vB4 looming. Hence our interest in finding a new CK more willing and able to join us in that endeavor.

These recent bad poster newb accounts that have been popping up are your second accounts that was created just for this contest, aren't they Shlup? :colbert:

---

Nope! I don't have any second accounts. In fact I don't think I've ever made one in the last decade.

When I said ahead, I meant they got to do their stuff during my 8 hours of school that's all! :p

I know; Freya's post was the one that inspired that comment.

Ah. omg, 3 times I've been like, "Oh, probably second account. Oh. Wait. Someone else posted that." Damn man.

EDIT:
CloudRay and CloudFace looks like a sudden charge of heart in what they want their name to be.

If you're looking for a real, second account made by a long-time to sneak back in or be shady, no random looking is likely to find someone, because let's face it, who would name their second account similarly to their regular one without being too obvious? Yes, I know the idea of this, but it's tough to just out and say, "This is a second account of ________" after a mere 36 hours. Especially if the person intends to be really sneaky (see Vincent, Thunder God, sure we all thought The Devil was a second account, but exactly who was anyone's guess due to the "Christmas"ness of the account), situations like that just have to be monitored. If I had to guess, this dude looks a lot like Dynast-Kid, and mentions Viera in his only post (Dynast-Kid was a huge FFXII junkie). I like to imagine him being smarter than posting a picture of himself and seeing if he could get away with being a second account after leaving so long.

I am shocked nobody has brought up the two phallus lookalikes I posted in feedback. For shame.

DD, you're cute. Please stay out of our competition :) :kiss:

WRONG! I didn't bring that up specifically, but I did say that thread should be closed. Good try DD. Now I just have to write a few things for the Frontsite? Awesome. Expect that done after Physics and Calculus. Okay, maybe just Calculus.

So sorry we are only doing reviews, it's just what she had told us we could do.

What, did you just copy it from Gamefaqs or something? xD

Tav and BoB said reviews were good, though I'm assuming other stuff is better. Either way, the person who submits the best stuff and the most of it is probably least likely to be eliminated.

Do what you want until you're either proud of what you've accomplished or don't feel like this competition is worth any more of your effort. Whatever you want is fine with me.

Nope! Copying someones work is illegal and you should know this from your English classes. :p

Let the repeat thread die in peace.

Does this mean I win?


EDIT: Calculus is done. Now I have a review or two I want to write, I'd love to help the FFXIII section to, I'm not to savvy with that though. We'll see what I can get done before it gets too late.

Not all the times you dumbie. Sometimes there isn't enough information written about it so they change/add more to it.

Well, got my review done. I feel like I want to do more than that though. We'll see what I can do.

Working on it. I figure if I at least start a few of the threads, it'll promote others to add what they know and I can update my threads with the information provided.

Started some threads in the FFXIII to promote people to throw some info in! Too tired to continue, but I want to make a few more. Hopefully I get a chance to before this thing is over, but Imma update them regardless as it was sorta fun! :D

Ah, fair enough then. :p

I've been reporting my progress in my post which can be found here.

All I have left are my reviews.

Close/delete this thread and ban this member wander girl.

lol editted into my post. SPAMMAGE

Might as well put everything into one post for easier access:
The threads I picked for Task 1

My multiple-account suspects for Task 2

And so far, for task 3:
Here's a Final Fantasy VII Review I wrote, spoiler-free
I would have loved to write some content for FFXIII, but since I don't have the game yet and I really really don't want to spoil the game for myself before I do, I do hope you'll accept the Super Mario RPG Secrets page I said I'd write ages ago. All that's really left to do is write the minigames page and we can finally close the book on the Super Mario RPG section (that is, unless qwerty is going to finish the walkthrough). I plan on whipping that minigames page up sooner than later.
Finally, a Final Fantasy IV review that covers both the original SNES game and the DS remake.

EDIT: Added another suspect to my multiple accounts list. :p
EDIT: Added another review.

Added some stuff to my original post! Now I need to find three more threads to tackle and we'll see how much time is left for more frontsite stuff.

I already had it in my post before you called it :| see: timestamp

Oh you can time stamp but you an't reply to bobby and I in msn. I see how it is. You're all "CK COMP MATTERS AND FRIENDS DO NOT!" :colbert:

Well when I'm busy doing things around the house and trying to play through FFII I can't help it if I get distracted, especially when msn won't let me talk to you and then I tell bobby and then he's like "well it says you're both in the chatroom with me" and i'm like "well it won't let me message in the chatroom so i had to close it" and i was like :crying:

Uh huh! You're an obssessed woman!

Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way?

ALL THAT I CAN SAY TO YOU RIGHT NOW MISS KAYCEE IS :doublecolbert:

Finally done. *sigh*

I think that review was harder than those 50 posts. :p

I don't know, I found it harder to hunt down threads that should be reasonably closed after I waited too long to do it and they got snatched up xD

My review is done! Having some trouble managing attachments here, but I'll keep trying and hopefully it'll work before deadline :|

EDIT: It's working, posted my review, all my tasks are done, here's the link to my post: http://forums.eyesonff.com/2814456-post16.html, and have a nice day! :jess:

Everything's done and added to my first post on page one! I'm probably done with it. Maybe P:

Two hours and ten minutes left! My in-laws decided they're coming over in a bit, but I will do my best to ignore them and take care of this instead. But if you don't hear from me you may assume that I've been roped into something or other. Sorry!

"Monopoly game gone bad, $110.000 in damages, tonight at the 11 o'clock news."

That sounds possible. I smurfing hate Monopoly.

We're more about Scattegories and Apples to Apples up in here though. Or Rummy. xD

I played Apples to Apples once. I had no idea what the hell was going on, but it was fun.

"Man taken to hospital after having been forced to eat seventeen rummykub tiles.. and 4 inserted as a repository. Tonight at 11. Stay tuned."

Alrighty, here's a link to my collective post of every task. I'm done. :)

For the love of Shlup people, it's the same thread. If Shlup can find and sift through all your post and threads, you really think she can't find one post in this thread? :p

All of my stuff was kind of scattered, so I was just trying to make things more convenient. :colbert:

We're just trying to make it easier for her is all. Organization is key~

So how many people are going to get eliminated this time?

You have 36 hours to complete this task. Only three contestants will make it to the next and final round.

---

50%.

I would've liked to do more, but I've been busy all week and yesterday was no exception and I devoted most of my freetime to what I got done, so I'm happy with what I have.

It's fine. Like the title says, it's all about balance.

Take a few hours to relax; this will probably be the hardest one for us to decide on. I will be putting up task five sometime tonight, unless something goes horribly horribly wrong.

What game did you play with your inlaws? Were there any casualties?

I think this says it all: :x_x:

We're playing "search BJ's grandparents house (which we live in; they're in an assisted living home) for stuff for BJ's little sister to take to her new apartment." Fun game.

We found these cute blue glass plates on a high shelf and Cindy was all "Super cute!!" and then I pulled them down and they all had president Roosevelt's face on them. I love them. xD

Sorry if this was hard. Weeding out the weak is tricky. I am honestly super, super impressed with how people are doing in this competition.

Break over! Back to work and then birthday presents! Woo!

Translation: "We robbed BJ's grandparents, now we're going to wrap them and give them to each other as a reward."

How's the judging coming along? With Del gone, it's free reign, no? :p

While looking for a headband that BJ's grandpa pulled off a Nazi before shooting him, Cindy found her grandma's diary that starts in 1941. In it are letters from an ex-boyfriend, who was apparently fighting over her with BJ's grandpa. Awesome.

Drudging up old drama, I see how you are.

Hurry up and eliminate people.

Could you go wes somewhere else? We're all waiting nervously here.

Well, not me, I'm going to sleep.

Take your time, Shlup.

*plays Pokémon SoulSilver* :cool:

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have said that.

Wessing is silver, silence is gold.

So go to bed and stop breaking your own rule.

I got a pretty pimp-ass little tea cup with blue flowers and Tinkerbell bath tub crayons. Sweet!

I'm reading through all of your submissions. They're really good!

Oh so we'll know by tonight? :eek:

We've picked two people to go through to the next task. Trying to decide who'll take the last spot. It's hard!

Ugh I need to know soon D: I have a 16 hour drive to Oklahoma tomorrow and if I make it I need to be able to plan accordingly xP

If we don't know by the time you go to bed, just check one more time before you leave. If you are one of the three that makes it then the more delay the better for you anyhow.

Well now i'm hoping I make it but it's delayed and I hope I don't so I don't have to worry! What a split hope!

Alright, let's do this.

I'm going to actually do it backwards this time and announce the people who did make it.

1Jessweeee♪ - You have rocked pretty solid in this competition. I would say you've done a bang up job but Roogle made fun of me for talking like that.

2Goldenboko - You've worked really hard to present your stuff and it shows.

3Momiji - You like strawberries so you automatically pass. Anyone have a problem with that?! Yes? Well he did a good job regardless so whatever.

It took us a long time to decide this round, like I said. To those who were eliminated, it wasn't easy for us to do so!

The final task is at hand. Or something.

Congrats guys! I know I didn't put enough effort into this last one but hey. I'm not trying to be a site staffer/cker so meh. GO JESSWEEEE GO (that's who i've been rooting for btw xD)

Drive safe. [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]

Take care, Kaycee. I do not envy a 16-hour drive at all. I start getting restless after a 3 hour drive. x_x

Hooray~

Congrats winners!

Well, still made it pretty far for a competition I basically drunkenly stubled into. :p

Good luck to everyone.
