Survivor: Boards.ie - Round 8

Gordon

Hello and welcome back to Boards: Survivor.

We've had an interesting run in the past Round 7 and we're getting close to the end now.

Just to recap where everyone stands;

In the last round there was a public poll to decide who would be eliminated. Public opinion was split between Mr. Nice Guy and tba. 44 votes to each contestant. Therefore a tie breaker poll was instigated that gave each surviving contestant - tba, tovalee, MNG and mayordenis one vote to vote somebody off. The contestant with the most votes were voted off. A shock vote from tba saw tba voting for himself. Shock horror. Seeing as MNG and mayordenis had voted for him also, he has been eliminated.

Therefore we only have 3 remaining contestants. And in fact this round is the penultimate round. I haven't considered properly the ramifications of this as I have forgotten that the next round will see only 2 contestants. As I haven't had the time to prepare an alternative challenge from OFDM's interesting idea, I have remained with my current flash challenge.

Therefore in this round the contestants have been given a challenge consisting of a flash (swf) page that consists of a mathemabetical challenge, including a sound challenge. The contestant that is first to give me a result to this challenge (I am looking for an image, there is no exact image I have in mind btw) will gain immunity from this rounds public vote.

Sorry, I haven't been able to think of a better way to do this. Therefore this round is just like the last round. Save your precious vote until a contestant has given the answer to the mathemabetical challenge posed via pm is what I suggest. The contestant that wins the challenge will not be voted off - no matter how many public votes they receive.

For those interested - the next round that will see only two remaining contestants will be placed into a poll. Whoever gets THE MOST VOTES WINS. And I won't make the poll public next time.

So, I have sent the latest challenge to tovalee, mayordenis and Mr. Nice Guy.

Good luck to you trinity.

You have 3 days until the poll closes and the challenge stops. If nobody gets the result to the challenge - the contestant with the most votes will be voted off.

Whatever mathemabetical means, google doesn't recognise it.

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

Steveire you would fair very badly in one of my challenges.

mayordenis

I see Powerhousedans pathetic little vendetta continues :rolleyes:

Why vote now? The poll is meant to be a reflection of how people get on in this round.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

tovalee

now this ones a challenge! :eek:

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

Also it is kinda pointless to vote until the challenge has been answered.

However, in saying that, who knows how long it will take them to get an answer.

tovalee

i think i have part of it worked out. But im definitely missing something...

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

Thank goodness, I was worried that you would get this one too quick as you have proved good at the wordy challenges. Hopefully the audio will stump you for a little while.

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis

Maths again?! Why couldn't we have had an immunity challenge on The Simpsons or something?

mayordenis

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis

I'm confused by the SW. What does it mean? Something to do with Star Wars? Yes, I am clutching at straws!

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

I'll post it up when somebody completes it.

If you really want to do it properly you can not view this thread and I'll PM you the challenge when it has been won.

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

You're confused by the SW?

I thought that was one of the easier parts...

Well it can't mean what I think it means as that's too obvious.

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

There may be some obviousnesses within the challenge. Don't rule it out.

tovalee

going by the poll results so far and since i havent received a pm from MNG asking for an alliance against mayor, i'm assuming i'm the one hes gunning for this round!

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

tovalee - 6
mayordenis - 0
MNG - 9, in the lead to be voted off.

Do you guys need a hint to the challenge? If so what part do you need the hint for:
blue circle
hash sign
white italics
or the final thing?

Goodshape

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis' perpetual absence from these games seems to be doing him wonders in the vote.

my calls for his elimination have too long fallen on deaf ears.

tovalee

this challenge makes my brain hurt

[edit]i think i will take a break and drink heavily before resuming challenge.[/edit]

mayordenis

mayordenis

im on the verge of getting this . . . argh

mayordenis

mayordenis

cheeky try

ok i tryed for ages and came up with some crap but thought i'd just give this a belt.

tovalee

hint please Gordon.

heh. NO!

ok
hash relates to number - audio
top row should give anagram.
The line between anagram and hash is "divided by"

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis

What is the significance of the SW?

StupidLikeAFox

Turn it upside down....

it was MAGGIE SIMPSON!!!!

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

There are a few of those:
N,W,E,S,NW,SW,NE,SE

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis

Gordon, now you've gone and confused me further! That doesn't seem to make any sense to the problem.

tovalee

This isme after 24 hours of struggling with Gordons Challenge.( I'm loving it anyway)

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

hmmm...

ok the problem is
anagram divided into a certain number. Giving a certain amount of results from the anagram.

MNG maybe you need some guidance from an orienteerer?

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

Tick tock

RE*AC*TOR

I assume there can be no one with immunity?

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

Indeed.

Sorry guys, I didn't realise I had made that so difficult, mind, this is the penultimate round.

ah thanks Gordon, no pressure or anything!

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

No problem!

Is everyone still needing clues?

tovalee

yes please. everytime i think i have a part of it worked out, something else doesnt make sense.

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

I need a clue as to what bit you need a clue on. I have already given you a rough idea of the whole challenge parts.

tovalee

the n is killing me. it doesnt fit!

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

There is one n in each

tovalee

ahh sneaky distributive property !

mayordenis

mayordenis

Here we go

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis you have successfully completed the round 8 challenge!

I wasn't expecting that kind of picture, more a picture of one of those squirty ink pen gun type thingys but good job there mayor. Seems the quiet ones sometimes have stuff to say too!

Mayordenis, not that it looks like it will matter due to the poll results so far: you are through to the final round of Boards.ie Survivor!

(pming mad_m with the challenge as he isn't reading this thread cos he wants to do the challenge!)

mayordenis you may explain how you got this result or you can let them squirm for a while. I will post up the challenge now.

PowerHouseDan

Well done. Can you pm with the challenege?

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

This is the challenge I set:

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis

I'm proud to see my ally make the final. Whether I do or not remains to be seen but he played the game well and for getting that challenge right he deserves praise. Good job mate. Hope to join you there.

gimmick

mayordenis

What the bloody hell? How does one come to that conclusion from that clue? Fancy taking us through how you did it???

Mr.Nice Guy

mayordenis

I still don't know what the SW meant.

Gordon

Mr.Nice Guy

lol

SW = South West. Have a roam around on that page.

tovalee

well done mayor

mad m

mayordenis

Stayed away from reading until i got the challenge,and amazing i got same as Mayordennis (Total lie).

Anyway im voting for Tovalee this round.Great at solving clues from previous rounds but lacks the get up and go attitude i like in MNG...I did say in last challenge i was voting for MNG but he won me back,with his sheer determination to win this.Fairplay..
