ChD Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I don't expect a high score this week. I was so not in the mood to think and stuff that I mostly predicted random numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Shorts Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 4 & 5 are the wild cards this week. The other three you can get away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 4 & 5 are the wild cards this week. The other three you can get away with. Exactly, especially Q4, I decided to risk going crazy high and predicted like a 8k PTA for Dallas, no idea if I've gone far too high, to low or what? It's a film that will never get released over here in a year of Sundays. But that's all part and parcel of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creator Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) 5.4 "The Straw That Broke The Camel's Back" There can be no time to lament a loss as great as Acsc's. If Acsc dwells on the loss of his master, brother, and closest ally, then the pain will be too overbearing for him, and he will lose his focus. If XenoZodiac taught him one thing, it is that focus is what keeps one in the game. After five seasons, Acsc has expanded so very, very much...and focus should come naturally to him. Yet it still stings to lose a partner as loyal, homely, and comforting as XenoZodiac. Acsc's losses are further reverberated by the longing absence of loyal partner and friend CEDAR, whose demise in the Season 4 finale may have been a final blow. Acsc does not scorn though, nor will he sulk and submit himself to remorse. He is a Team Captain in the fullest now; he must be the one to guide "The Shadowgods", alone now that Xeno has fallen into the ashen unknown. Acsc must persevere for the sake of Olive and Gizmo, so that they can have the same opportunities that he has always had in the past. It's raining. The rain pours in torrents as Acsc trudges through the forest to find his partners and deliver them the news of their team captain's demise. Lightning crackles overhead and a boom of thunder brings an onslaught of leaves down on Acsc as he keeps focused...focus, focus, focus. The rain does not hold him back; his emotions drained, and yet, no tears leak from his eyes. Only rain drops trickle down his cheeks. Boom! The thunder echoes overhead. The storm is brewing, and Acsc does not wander alone in the forest. There is a viper there, watching, lurking in the dark and ominous woods. If it were to hiss, it would be Acsc's name it would hiss...a sound it would issue from the depths of the darkness. What is this bizarre fiend that stands hidden in the shrouded darkness? Time will bring us the answer. ...Jim Shorts wanders through the forest, Goffe by his side. They stop to take shelter from the rain, and a figure comes to them in the late night (or perhaps it's still day...it's too dark to tell). Jim braces for an attack, not recognizing the figure. But it draws no weapons, only raises a lone finger. And with the finger, it silences the rain around the duo. Jim and Goffe say nothing, only watch. And the figure, hidden in the black night and gray storm clouds, whispers low...so very low, yet melodious. The loneliness, the isolation, the fear, the unknown, sorrow, grief, remorse...everything, everything, everything....it washes away like the rain. The whispering continues, and Jim and Goffe take in the news with warmth flooding into their cold bodies. This is it. Now the prelude is over, and we shall take a look at the results for this week. Soon, we shall find out what has been entailed. Alfred's Alliance Alfred: 87.72% +13 (+5 highest individual, +3 1st team, +2 85%+, +3 extreme deviation) Tower: 87.56% +13 (+2 2nd individual, +3 1st team, +2 85%+, +3 extreme deviation, +3 won Challenge 3.5) AVG: 87.64% +26 Chasmmi's Circle Chasmmi: 56.40% Films: 72.42% +1 (+1 highest Question 2) AVG: 64.41% +1 ChD's Covenant ChD: 76.54% +4 (+1 3rd individual, +1 highest Question 1, +1 highest Question 2, +1 highest Question 3) Blankments: 44.86% +1 (+1 won Challenge 3.6) AVG: 60.70% +5 The Equation Sensation Jim Shorts: 69.74% +2 (+2 2nd team) Goffe: 73.24% +4 (+2 2nd team, +1 highest Question 4, +1 highest Question 5) AVG: 71.49% +6 The Shadowgods Acsc1312: 52.40% Gizmo: 64.51% Olive: 52.40% AVG: 56.44% Tawasal's Gathering Tawasal: 71.14% +1 (+1 3rd team) fmpro: 65.09% +1 (+1 3rd team) Grim22: 65.09% +1 (+1 3rd team) AVG: 67.11% +3 Jay has been eliminated, and with him, Gingy has withdrawn from the game, so "Jay's Followers" is no more.

The Creator Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm sorry, but without Jay I am out of here also. But have fun guys! You're free to do as you please. If you are only quitting because you don't think you'll be given a team, you're wrong. You have a lot of options, and there are many teams willing to accept you. Jay was not the best example of a leader this season as he was absent for a large portion of it so far, so that may have affected your view substantially. If you keep at it, though, you may find it's worth it. I try to guarantee a high satisfaction rating, but I understand if there are time commitment issues or other factors influencing your decision here.

tawasal Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 That number 2 question killed my chance of winning back to back weeks. Without it my Avg will be 85+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
