First hard luck to BlitzKrieg who was eliminated in Round 1, and congratulations to powerhousedan who is immune in this round. Earlier today the users who were previously placed on the reseve list, AlcoholicA, Gordon, Ro: maaan!, were (physically) put into a hat and one was picked out - that turned out to be Ro: maaan!. So…

Earlier today the users who were previously placed on the reseve list, AlcoholicA, Gordon, Ro: maaan!, were (physically) put into a hat and one was picked out - that turned out to be Ro: maaan!.

So now Ro: maaan!, is part of the "equation".

The 2nd Immunity Challenge will follow in the next post.

Good luck to all the contestants.

Voting closes 12:34pm on Tuesday.

Your 2nd immunity challenge is more challenging and more difficult than the first.

Using the tools available to you through what is known as "The Internet", you must decode a message that will be PM'd to you.

The same message will be PM'd to each of the contestants - you will have until the close of voting for round 2 to complete the challenge. The first contestant to post the decoded message to the round 2 thread will gain immunity from the next round (round 3).

Due to the difficulty in solving this problem here's a hint that may help:
Two encryption methods were applied to the message in this order:

Methods A -> Method B -> Method A

Both methods are widely know on the internet as simple encryption schemes.

The Message™ is a simple text string.

It appears Sysiphus couldn't take the heat and has dropped out.

I'll ask him a mod to remove him from the vote. In light of this event, AlcoholicA and Gordon, who were the two remaining contestants on the reserve list are now included - however because they are being added after voting began they will not be added to the elimination vote but can still attempt Immunity Challenge #2 to get immunity from round 3 evictions.

Also, Mr.Nice Guy - I still can't PM you the immunity challenges so if you want to take part in them let me know how to get it to you, or re-enable PMs.

I've re-enabled PMs.

I barely know any of these people. You should use members who have been around for a while.

As stated before, this first competition is to gauge interest in the idea - I hope for the next competition (if there is one), to be mods only.

There would be more interest if the people were known though, that way people wouldnt be picking randomly.

I had originally decided to use the top ten posters that weren't admins or AH mods, but I didn't think was fair on them as they may not want to be included. So instead I went with the first 10 users who replied wanting to take part.

All suggestions on how to pick more well-known contestants for future competitions are welcome.

i thought that was part of the interesting thing about this game. we are all relative new comers to boards and so people dont have any preconceived notions about us. You dont usually know any of the people on the actual reality programs either do ya?

No, that would be terrible. Give other people a chance please! A "just mods" format would be worse than the current format!

Well the mods version would be a once - kinda like a celebrity version.
What would be a fair way of getting well-known users to take part?

Minimum post counts perhaps? Any suggestions?

just to eliminate some possibilities, is the string one of the following?

"haha suckers you'll never get it"
"i cant believe you spent all day on this,suckers"
"you suckers must really want that voucher"
or
"Somebody set up us the bomb."

That's really along the lines of what I should have made it...

*sigh*

couyld you pm the imunity challange to me please just for a bit of fun, kinda bored kotor 2 is getting very boring so need soemthing to pass the night.

if i get it i wont spoil it for the contestants.

And Funky cheers for the pose.

COmmentary on round 2: Yes it does seem that tovelee might in simply because he is on the bottom of every list. But Hugh Hefner doesnt seem to be popular at all...in both rounds he was in 2nd place to be kicked out. GET YOUR BUNNIES OUT!

my mistake...hugh was third last round, he's second this time.
