Answers are all in. And I know we lost because I had a stupid wrong answer due to carelessness. So, to my team- I apologize for screwing us over.

Results of Challenge #2: Movie Adaptations

Well it looks like we have a clear winner as only one person got all the answers correct.



Here's a look at the answers that people got wrong:


#8: A man enlists his brother's wife to help him return to physical form.

Incorrect answer I received: The Fly (1958), which is wrong because a man enlists his brother's wife to help his brother, not himself

Correct answer: Hellraiser, The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker, 1986.


#9: An FBI agent enlists the help of someone he put behind bars.

Incorrect answer I received: Silence of the Lambs, which is wrong because the FBI agent didn't put the killer she goes to for help behind bars, and she's also a woman.

Correct answer: Manhunter/Red Dragon, Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, 1981.





Deadites


Neverending - 56 pts
Fortunato - 56 pts
Cactus - 60 pts

Total - 172 pts


Cenobites

Ferretchucker - 56 pts
Gorephobia - 56 pts
V - 56 pts

Total - 168 pts




Which means that the Deadites are the winners of Challenge #2!



Sorry, Cenobites but you are going to the Catacombs!




Winnings and status update next!

I knew I had that one wrong.

Yeah you never know how things will turn out.

It's cool Cactus actually fixed the answers or just did it himself.

Good job.

Okay Deadites. for winning Challenge# 2, you each get 1 re-animation pack, and your team gets a silver key.

The Cenobites got a gold key and now the Deadites have a silver key,

interesting...




The Cenobites have been released into the Catacombs!

Status Update:

Ferretchucker - full Life +1
Gorephobia - Full Life +1
V - Full Life +1
Alkytrio666 - Full Life +1

Items: Gold Key





The Deadites meet with with Weapons Master Bob to go over their weapon, which for this challenge is a Crossbow!



Their crossbows are equipped with one poison-tipped arrow. This is a special poison used to de-animate corpses (re-animation occurs so often these days), and counts as one bullet wound/damage point.



The Deadites are released into the Catacombs!


Status Update:

Neverending - Full Life +1
Cactus - Full Life +1
Fortunato - Full Life +1

Items: Silver Key



Deadites: You have until tomorrow, Friday May 2nd, noon EST to send your target via PM to me.

Failure to notify me of your target will release Cereberus into the Catacombs, who will maul your team and bring your total Life Points (includes re-animation packs) down 1/3.




Happy Hunting :)
