    Back after an Easter break, Survivor: Boards.ie returns to torment it's contestants once again.

    Hugh Hefner and AlcoholicA were eliminated in the last round in a controversial Double Eviction. tovalee won immunity by reading a comic!

    Note, if you want to vote for Gordon (I forgot to put him on the list, but he'll be put on when one of the mods gets round to it) then please wait until he is on the list as if you vote for someone else, you will not be able to change your vote later.

    The next (completely unoriginal) immunity challenge will be PM'd to the contestants now and posted here after.

    Previous rounds:
    Round 3
    Round 2
    Round 1
    Round 0

    In a slight twist on Immunity Challenge #1, the survivors have to find the exact case-sensitive text string I entered into WikiPedia to produce a page that contains an image I have PM'd to them.

    The first contestant to post back to this thread* with the correct answer will gain immunity from the NEXT ROUND eviction (not this round). You are not allowed multiple guesses in each post - doing so makes all guesses/possible answers in that post invalid. If the winning contestant is evicted this round, and no one else has found the correct string then no one gets immunity from the next round. Same if no one gets the correct answer.

    You may use any means to obtain the answer, except posting of the image to this thread or anywhere else on boards.ie.

    * In the PM sent "this thread" should have actually linked to this thread

    Has this picture been altered in any way - ie: was it a gif originally?

    Or can I not ask that?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    Ah! I'm winning... I mean losing.

    Only alteration is the name.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Name: everything before the .extension right?

    Yeah, the image was originally a png on wikipedia...

    Solar chimney


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I would have done that quicker if I didn't first start on advanced google searches!

    Very close, but not exactly what I entered.

    Solar Chimney ?


    (without the "?")


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    solar tower

    There's no room for a Mr. Nice Guy in this competition.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Solar Tower

    I presume you meant we could have multiple posts within this thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    i think solar tower is the only other thing it could be

    Yes multiple posts are acceptible - the idea being that someone doesn't just belt out a heap of guesses in one post.

    And we have a winner. Gordon is now immune from Round 5.

    powerhousedan's "solar tower" didn't win because entering that into wikipedia brings you to this page which does not contain the picture, whereas "Solar Tower" brings you here, which does contain the picture.

    Keep the immunity challenge ideas coming - I have a good one which I may use the next round...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan


    ah wat!!! thats what i got just didnt Put S T ffs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    You gotta make sure you read the challenge properly powerhousedan, that OFDM is a sneaky fellow.

    But you didn't get the answer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    It did specifically say case sensitive string.

    Very true.

    Someone emailed me an Immunity Challenge idea that involved the "Big Bow Wow" - the used the word "pony" - I'm not happy....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,352 ✭✭✭funky penguin


    Man I gotta start waking up earlier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,399 ✭✭✭OFDM


    Man I gotta start waking up earlier.
    At least you make an effort in the immunity challenges, unlike a certain contestant....

    we'll see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I see I am in the lead to be voted off.Since it is unlikely I will survive this round unless loads of Boards members vote for Ro:maaan or one of the three people on 7 votes, permit me to give a final plea for why I should stay:

    1) I am funnier than anyone else in this contest and don't have to resort to calling myself a "funky penguin".My profile is better than everyone elses too.

    2) I have posted many funny clips on this site including an African American getting beat up by his girlfriend and this clip of a monkey beating up two tigers:

    http://www.big-boys.com/articles/apetiger.html

    I will post may more if I stay. ;)

    3) Unlike mayordennis, I oppose slapping old ladies in the face with a dueling glove.

    4) Unlike Ro:maaan! I don't sell poison milk to school children.

    5) Unlike funky penguin, I'm interesting.Funk you, Pingu!

    6) Unlike powerhousedan, I do not support Ireland rejoining the UK.

    7) Unlike Gordon, I don't feel women are lame and that their place is in the home.

    I also support the systematic tagging of young scumbag knackers who scare the elderly and I believe they should be beaten with sticks by angry pensioners.

    Keep in Mr.Nice Guy by voting for the other lame contestants.It's time a nice guy finished first for once! ;)

    its painfully easy for him to register under a different name

    now now, there's no reason to get nasty just because you werent invited to play with the big kids. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    Ah ha ha ha!! That's like the host of the show going to jail mid-series!!! :D

    Looks like somebody will have to nominate themselves to take over as the official Boards.ie: Survivor(tm)Host. I say the next person to say "I WANT TO BE THE NEW AND OFFICIAL Boards.ie: Survivor(tm) PRESENTER" has got the job.


    Not that i've been following this tripe!

    This, I believe, is why he got banned in the first place.

    Ahh DMT, his avatar was similar too.

    That's a shame.

    What did DMT do anyway?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    he can still run it from Prison!

    Prehaps it will help with his parole

    Dunno, but I think it was very bold.

    Indeed, hopefully being in Prison will not hinder OFDM's quest. He can't send pms though.
