Announcement

The dry-run will end at exactly 12:00 midnight, November 24, 2013 New York time. That means, the competitors will have 19 hours left to answer the questions/remaining questions. On the other hand, the judges will have until 12:00 pm November 24, 2013 New York time to complete their comments and ratings. The partial scores as of this cut-off time will be considered to be the final total scores of the dry-run. As soon as the final scores are announced, the mechanics for choosing the teams will also be announced. Thank you again for participating in this very fruitful event! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Snuggles,

A reminder if you score a zero under any category it's not because I'm harsh it's because you suck and I still love you. Also it may be because I haven't gotten an answer yet.

Obviously you didn't like the Asian stereotypes in my #2 answer?

Well I don't have to tell people how I scored πŸ˜› but you'd get a 10/10 for misdirection if that was a category I'm scoring.

Remember bunny said creativity and humour πŸ˜‰ We're not all going to score the same, and at the end of it all you might just get the +3 after evalutation GetMisted!

Aquasnozzy: I noted that feby16aqua and PVAF both got 0 in Question # 4. Meanwhile, you haven't given a score to any of Ands' answers. Please clarify on these matters. Thank you...

I'm smart. Ask me anything.

You want to join, Missy? You can sign up here! However, I think you are sort of too late for the Dry-Run as the tabulation of scores is more than halfway done. However, you can still join for the main competition however. πŸ™‚

Just going from the original competitors list. When the real thing kicks off it'll be more refined. I was under this impression this is just a taste of things to come πŸ˜„

So yeah I may have missed an answer here or there but give me like 4-5 days when I'll actually spend majority of my time back on solid ground! The zeros are there because I haven't scored it at all.

I thought you were from the Philippines, bunny-- ye sound like an olde Englishman.

Still, it's mildly poetic-- and I will be using it in the future. πŸ˜›

Aye! I time-traveled from the year 1589. Our reigning qwene was Qwene Elisabeth, whose mighty seafaring adventurers brought the devastating end to the Spanish Armada! She saved our country! She saved England! You Americans have a lot to be thankful from us!!! πŸ™‚

And as everyone knows, dibs is The most powerful force in the universe. it is used to call possession of a certain object or idea. There are very few things that trump dibs.

True.

I call dibs on being the other team's Captain, then.

Captain Montgomery just sounds right, doesn't it? πŸ˜›

Heh πŸ˜›

And I *think* GetMisted is a Pisces moon (?)

I think we should invoke a No Whining rule-- everyone was aware of the participants and the panelists before we began.

Just saying.

I'm not even sure how this thread is being judged anymore? What's the basis? It doesn't seem to be....objective?

All that said, I hope all enjoys the competition, but consider this my official withdrawl.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

I was just re-posting the last "official" announcement I saw-- figured you missed it, and that's why you were abandoning ship.
