The Gate Master 02-24-2009 10:56 AM

The HDC Fight of the Realms
 
Welcome, good people of HDC, to the first fight of the realms, a new experience for you, I'm sure. I, am The Gate Master. I have arrived to propose a challenge to you. The winner of said challenge shall receive the honor of being the true champion of the realms, something that can never been taken from you.

I have been observing this...community, of yours for a while and have noticed to good people here are ready to face daunting tasks. There are competitions, projects, tournaments and many more. You must feel worn out from recent occasions. It is for that reason that I will take this opportunity to tell you that this competition is very easy. In fact, much of it is based on luck. There are ways to use your intelligence to avoid getting...lost. But, though there will be challenges, the answers will only range from, shall we say, one word to a paragraph. This will not be about sparing time to do tasks, but merely dropping in to get ahead.

The true challenge is finding your way. Though, I shall go into that once we have enough people ready to venture into the realms of gates. It are a confusing, misleading place, and many of you won't make it. But one will. Maybe it will be a previous winner of another competition with yet another trophy to add to their case, or maybe it will be somebody new.

The first gate is in front of you. You may venture into it if you wish. But once you do, there is no going back. There is no teamwork involved in this competition, so if for any reason you need to drop out, you will not fail anybody. In fact, you do not even have to partake in every round, though it will hinder you if you don't.

So, choose not. Do you go in, or do you not? It is up to you, people of Horror.com. Do you dare venture into the unknown to face either certain death or wonderful victory. You have until Midnight EST, this Thursday to decide.

That's not Ferretchucker.....ITS The Gate Master

Shouldn't the Gate Master be looking for the Key Master? Or was that just the Gate Keeper? Either way, the Gate Master should spend more time proof reading his posts.

Angra 02-24-2009 11:25 AM

Is this a new game?

I'm out!!!

X¤MurderDoll¤X 02-24-2009 01:53 PM

you guys are mean.

poor ferret, he's only a baybay ;)

ill enter the realm of gates.

ferretchucker 02-24-2009 01:58 PM

There's no use pretending anymore, so I'll just use this account. I thought the other one might just add to the effect a little. It's a shame this didn't go as I had hoped. Good to see some people are willing to get involved.

I'm glad that I'm not the only Ghostbusters geek around here - That was my first kneejerk reaction. That and I was going to make some comment about, "If I enter the gate will I come out in a happy place where I no longer have to work in the seventh circle of hell?" :p

...

Sorry that your cover was blown (that's what SHE said)... I'm in, FC, though to tell you the truth I've been strapped at work lately. Any way that deadlines can be extended over weekends would be key.

Freak 02-24-2009 07:03 PM

I'm in as well.


Oh and Chrono it's not good to leave your xbox on for days at a time.

bwind22 02-24-2009 08:38 PM

Is this the new version of HDC Battle Royale? Or something completely different?

Just curious, I'm in either way.

fortunato 02-24-2009 09:12 PM

Hey FC, count me in if you're still doing this.

Yes he did.

And since the gate person whatever says you don't have to play every round, I'll give it a try.

The Flayed One 02-24-2009 10:45 PM

I'm in as well, mate. I'm extremely busy right now, but soft deadlines make it possible for me to give it a whirl.

roshiq 02-24-2009 11:55 PM

I also want to give it a try at least...:)

Elvis, it's more painfully obvious to me than anyone that I've been getting lamer and lamer. :( I wonder how lame Ill be at 24 or 27? god... I hope it doesn't accelerate... I won't be able to fight off baby rabies.

I should commit suicide, oh wait I'm too lame for that now. ARRGG I'm doomed to a life of acting progressively more and more like the kind of person I never wanted to be. I think I need to pick some of my old habits back up again, just for a change.

Aw! I liked the gate persona, it added ambiance. :D

nightmare_of _death 02-25-2009 05:07 AM

scouse mac 02-25-2009 05:09 AM

i knew that deep down inside she was a softy from day 1.

until now i was happy to keep her secret but since the cat's out of the bag .....

The Gate Master 02-25-2009 08:21 AM

Okay, though you all know my identity, if it adds to the ambience, I will use this account whenever on this thread. The reason I gave in is that I just though; why drain out the embarrasment any longer. But, it's cool now because more people are interested than I expected.

A few questions I'll answer:

-This is very different from the Battle Royale. When coming up with this, I had several ideas but scrapped them because it would be just unfair to use any of V's great ideas.

-As I said, it doesn't tend to matter if you miss each round. It just helps if you don't. The deadlines won't be too harsh. Also, each answer should only take about ten or so minutes.

-The Gate Keeper is a distant relative of mine. I call him every other month.



Those who have stepped through the first gate are:

Papillon Noir
Murderdoll
Chronogrl
Freak
Bwind22
Fortunato
Neverending
The Flayed One
Roshiq
Nightmare of Death
Scouse Mac


You have entered a world of oddity. Be prepared, tactics are what it is all about.

Anybody else who would like to join in on the action is welcome to. You have until Midnight this Thursday. Don't be late...

newb 02-25-2009 08:27 AM

COOL......The Gate Master is back. ;)

The_Return 02-25-2009 09:19 AM

Sounds like this could be kind of fun - I'll join up.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

A MAN OF MYSTERY
THIS GATE MASTER GUY
HE BRINGS A NEW GAME

WILL IT BE AS GOOD
AS PAST EFFORTS FROM V
OR WILL IT SINK LIKE A STONE
IN THE MIGHTY FORUM SEA

You said the word 'new.' Did you mean like.....a new member?... Ahh what do they call those things?

YOU SPEAK IN RIDDLES
NOT SURE WHAT YOU IMPLY
IF IT'S WHAT I SUSPECT
THEN I'M NOT THAT GUY

I'VE COME FROM A PLACE
THAT NONE SHOULD TREAD
BETWEEN HEAVEN & HELL
YOU'LL KNOW WHEN YOU'RE DEAD

WHEN MY NAME IS IN TYPE
IT SUMMONS ME HERE
TO SHED NEW LIGHT
I DON'T EVEN LIKE BEER

SO STOP YOUR SPECULATION
GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE
FORGET ABOUT MY IDENITY
SAVE YOU SOME STRIFE

Posher778 02-25-2009 11:03 AM

Sounds like defensive poetry if you ask me.

The Gate Master 02-26-2009 06:40 AM

No, foolish boy, I am not Marley's Ghost. You obviously haven't been paying attention. I suggest you learn from his mistake, people. You will need to pay attention to get ahead...

I'm not referring to you, minor.

The Gate Master 02-26-2009 02:54 PM

One 5 hours left to state if you want to be in. If your name isn't on the list and you want to enter the gate, do so soon. I suggest you check to see if your name is listed.

Don't give in. I like the old MD.

The Gate Master 02-27-2009 02:55 AM

The First Task
 
Welcome, one and all, to the Realms of the Gates. You have chosen to enter a world of confusion and anguish. Be prepared, though the questions may be easy, finding your way around won't.

There are ten realms, and in each realm are 5 gates. These realms are the White realm, Red Realm, Yellow Realm, Green Realm, Blue Realm, Orange Realm, Purple Realm, Brown realm, Grey Realm and Black Realm. Everybody in each realm will receive a question. It will be a question with several answers, but you will only be able to submit one answer.

Once the deadline is over, everybody who posted a correct answer will have the chance to select on of the five gates (eg. Red 2, Blue 5, Black 1 etc.) This will lead you to another realm. The gates are one way only, and so you cannot backtrack. The idea is to travel to every realm. Once you have a new gate will be open for you to step through. Once three people have done this, the final will take place. But I will get to that later.

There are several rules-

-Every answer must be posted on this thread.
-Due to several answers being possible, anybody who repeats an answer after ten minutes of it's posting will not be able to travel through a gate on that turn.
-It is not compulsory to submit any answers. You will not be able to travel through the gates though.

It would be wise to pay attention to the gates your opponents travel through. You might find it useful.

Everybody who stepped through the first gate is now in the same realm.

Papillon Noir - White
Murderdoll - White
Chronogrl - White
Freak - White
Bwind22 - White
Fortunato - White
Neverending - White
The Flayed One - White
Roshiq - White
Nightmare of Death - White
Scouse Mac - White

Task 1 - Addressed to everybody in the white realm

Name any actor who played a teenager/ young adult in Nightmare on Elm Street/ Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge.

You have until 12:00pm EST this Sunday. With your answer state the gate you choose to travel through.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:28 AM.
