Nope nothing's based around you NE. I was just giving an idea to Hammerfan regarding the time I would be online. This is the time I wake up usually (check your watch...its a few past 8 AM here right now, that's 9 30 PM EST previous night your time), and on a Sunday I tend to stay in bed for a little more time.

Anyway, HDC Crysis unrolls in less than 24 hours, folks! Be here, if you can! If not, be sure to check this thread as soon as you are online!

Nice job, thanks. :cool:

Dammit, I hate Dana White for planning shit that makes it impossible for me to make it. :(


Don't knock your skilz (that's right, with a Z!), you both make kick ass sigs!

Damn, yours is better...You suck :p :D

Yes, but I'm on Pacific time- not Eastern. 3 hours later than Eastern. I won't be home till after midnight, Eastern.

Just testing out my sig :)

edit: apparently I cant post images very well, I is no think today.

Edit: is it fixed?

Edit: Yay!

Apparently I'm not longer on the team. :rolleyes:

A note to all of my team members:

I wasn't very happy with most of the images I found for your sig banners...Choosing a character to play is a 'personal preference' sorta thing...We all have some sort of idea about how we see ourselves in the game, so if any of you can find a better picture of what you want your character to look like, please send it to me and I'll change the images in your banner...I would MUCH rather see your character the way YOU see it, rather than the way I see it...For one example, I made Hammerfan a dark elf, there's a chance she could have wanted to be a light elf...Know what I mean?

This was how I pictured Hammerfan, as a stealthy (and sexy :p) dark elf:

But...She might see herself as a stealthy (and sexy :p) light elf:
http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/v...ElfStealth.jpg

OR she may have a different image of herself in mind altogether.

You didn't get one? I definetely made it. I'll send it out again now.

Awesome sigs, FC and Rayne!

Psyched about this competition, but there IS a caveat:

Work blocks HDC.com, so it's been VERY hard for me to access the site. Will try to be around as much as possible.

Teammates - If you would like my email address to ping me in the event that I am missing something crucial, PM me. I don't want to leave you guys out to dry. I am committed to this game.

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.

Hmmm.. My work blocks the main page too when I type in Horror.com but it lets me in when I try horror.com/forum. Have you tried that?

right, I also have restrictions at work, you can email me, facebook me etc. with developments, though I get off at 5pm mountain time.

Actually, it's "horror.com/forum" that I'm typing in. :(


...

Facebook works; they don't block that.

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 :-

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...TheVillage.jpg

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...





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 :-

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../TheForest.jpg

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...



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!

And almost immediately, TWO answers are IN!

And BOTH ARE CORRECT!

Congratulations to the first TWO answering Participants.

Details will be revealed at Noon EST (depending on the number of Answers I get till then).

Nightmare Of Death, you're inbox is full and we need to tell you what questions we're answering!

(I chose to post that in this thread because there's more of a chance NOD will see it)

Same on our team with FLAYED!!!


Oh...And...I just wanted to say that it's completely AWESOME that MY team is starting out in the forest...While the lazy, pansy Chainsaws are laying around in a town with all the comforts of civilization...No offense to the pansies, of course...:p

*Restrains Newb...'NO, you CAN'T go to their tavern...We are trying to make a point here...Shhhh...Just chew on your tree bark, it's good for you'*

You seriously think you can keep Newb far from a barrel of beer?

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")



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 :-



Same conditions apply to you as the above Entry level post. Good luck!

I had the same problem with The_Return, so neither know which question I answered. I have sent a message to the rest of you though. :cool:

I'm out.

Too time demanding.


Sorry team. And V.

HEY!...I wanna be a renegade *pout*


PSST: Is it Austin?...It sounds like a very scorpio thing to do :p

OOOO...Or is it...ZWOTI?

@V: As Captain, may I play Angra's position (as placeholder) until the teams even out again, or until we get a new recruit?

I've answered my question.

Nightmare of Death, The Return, and Wicked Lady:

Your PM boxes are full.

1. friday13thfan has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

If you are trying to send this message to multiple recipients, remove friday13thfan from the recipient list and send the message again.

2. X¤MurderDoll¤X has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

3. The Flayed One has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

*sigh*

Really? On the contrary...

No worries. Leave in peace, my friend.


Keep guessing, mi lovely senorita.


There's absolutely no problem with teams being uneven. I did announce that each participant is on his/her own, unless and until the situation demands a team stand on things. This does not affect any Machete, or the outcome of this Level/Stage.

So...no worries.

Ok I made room in my inbox now.

FIRST UPDATE


NINE answers are in so far.

As soon as I receive at least 6 answers from each team, I will announce them and further developments will commence.

Okay, I have my PM box cleared.

Thanks, Ladies. :D

Team - If you need any help with the remaining questions, let me know.

SECOND UPDATE


20 Participants have sent in their answers.

That's TEN Chainsaws, NINE Machetes and the vigilante Mr Anonymous!


And all of you will be surprised to hear this - no less than FOUR answers are WRONG!

Bad research? Bad team co-ordination? Communication gaps? You decide.

All results will be revealed when I receive the SEVEN remaining answers.



Now...guess what you will be winning for correct answers??

GOLD COINS!

And guess what's waiting for you around the corner?

Something hungry. Something slow. Something...brainless. TONS of them.



Catch you folks soon with the final update!

I have created a group for the Machetes team, just to make it easier for us to communicate.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT


I need to get something cleared up for all participants.

Those of you who went through Round 1 and saw the trivia questions, and had the first impression(s) that this would be yet another trivia-based game (ala BR or Idol)...you are wrong.

The first round is trivia-based because I needed a platform to randomise all participants into random locations. After this first round is over, you all will advance according to situations, choices made, battles and outcomes. Just like a regular RPG.

In short, there won't be much Q&As ahead. Maybe even none at all, if not needed during later stages, in the case of a tie. It will be bloody, brutal and gorific...till the end. If you last till the end, that is.

May the best contestant win.

Just realized I coouldnt get messages from non-contacts. I have fixed this. Also sorry to my team for not being here all weekend. Work and school.

WINNERS OF 5 GOLD COINS EACH FOR THE SPAWNING ROUND #1




The participants who haven't won the gold coins are - Bwind22, Scouse Mac, Doc Faustus, Newb, Murderdoll and Caenxavier.

All details will be revealed once I receive the last 3 answers.

Come on you Chainsaws!!!

hmmm.....wasn't on here all weekend....now I'm totally lost. :confused:

Just go back to your chair, Grandpa. We'll get you a nice warm coffee and your meds then we'll explain it to you.

Aww, poor Newb


You have to choose a number (1-13) that none of your other team members have chosen...Then you have to answer the question that corresponds to that number, and send your answer to V. ~ Roshiq sent a list of all of the questions to you, so check his PM

There are only 3 numbers left to choose from on our team (as of last count)...If you check your PMs, your team members should have sent you messages to let you know which numbers they have already chosen...If someone hasn't informed you which number they have chosen, send them a PM to ask which number they chose.

That's pretty much all there is to it :)










Urgeok or Zero

I really think it's Zero (or Austin) ~ That's my final answer :p

Hopefully your team keeps you better informed than mine did. I have a feeling I won't be in this game very long at all.
