You're so right. You knew where I was going with it, though, clearly.




Do it anyway instead of the official task.

The task itself is a MacGuffin really. That's why I chose something that I thought would not take long (not to mention be seasonal). It'll be like the snotblock thing all over again. The Poms'll spend hours doing something brilliant on MS-Paint or researching Hollywood's great Oscar near misses, while Sean is busy making sure he gets the Aussie vote out.

How about...?

Write the opening sentence to your own novel.

This thread is starting to make me cry a little.

Go on, Sandra. Suggest a task. A Team one for the last. Alive versus Dead teams.

Fair enough but you do still sound a bit upset that your idea got binned.

What idea got binned?

What's wrong with the Christmas task? Also the write the start of your novel challenge would be boring as .

Well maybe not binned but certainly not taken up.

A task with forum votes is the way to go.

The most fun we had was when we'd throw four or so names up for eviction and have a forum wide vote. Sometimes we'd get 200 votes as the people up for eviction would PM everyone they knew on every forum, or even just start a thread in the 'fun' forum calling on people to vote against others.

I enjoyed this 'civilized' version of survivor as a game, but it is a lot more fun when it's thrown open for people to con and cheat their way to victory, not that they do, because you make a lot more enemies than friends when you con and cheat in the early rounds.

You lot cheated every round by having a secret forums.

Rooplet, why don't you run one next year?

Exactly. Lad knows how to woo the voters.



Okay let's do that. We'll do a task and throw the vote open with a poll. roopy would you like to spend some of the big pile of kudos you acquired by saving them all from Dungeons and Dragons, by selecting a task?

Otherwise we're doing cracker jokes. Do you have crackers in Australia? Doesn't matter, I'll explain if roopy doesn't come up with something. Then it's his fault, not mine!

I'll just give up again now.

Public vote?

That's me out straight away!

It's the taking part that counts.
We could anonymize (sp?) the jokes, if they're PM'd to me.

I'm out of compassion now.
Drill Sergeant* mode from here on in. Get a grip, you cowardly toilet maggots.

An individual task for 6 people with only one winner?

200-300 word composition - 'Preview of a match between Newcastle Knights and Hull KR'

All 20 participants in "Survivor" vote 3,2,1 for the best composition - highest vote wins.

Because this is the last task, all votes on the open forum.

3 days to write the previews - 3 days for voting.

Done, sorted.

Dobson kicks high into the wind, Uate attempts the catch, breaks his finger a goes off the field crying like a big girl.

HT: Rovers lead by 80 points to nil.

Newcastle Knights don't return from the tunnel to continue the second half.

I think I win by default for being the only entry, albeit ineligible.

Ran out of steam just shy of the station...

I've had a go, anyway.

[size=150KC stadium to host World Club Challenge match-up[/size
12th December, 2012.

The Hull Daily Mild understands the 2013 Rugby League World Club Challenge, between Super League Champions Hull KR and NRL Grand Final Winners the Newcastle Knights, will be staged at Hull City's KC stadium in February of next year.

Rovers, who are still unbeaten under Craig Sandercock, will hope to complete a clean sweep of trophies, against a Newcastle team who will be spending the off-season eating snotblocks and doughnuts for charity.

The 24,000-capacity arena is expected to be jam-packed, for the highly-anticipated fixture. Asked for a prediction, Knights fan Billy Two said, 'Mate, fourteen months ago, I'd never even heard of James Roby - what makes you think I'm going to care about this?'.

Looks like it, wharfedale voted for you so you've got the one vote required, I'll vote for you as well.

No one else can enter because the dead line has passed, all those bleating birds moaning about the tasks being to male oriented are noticeable by their absence.

Your entry is too late.

dum-dum is the champ, you, are a chump.

As Stratford Will said, "Brevity being the soul of wit"

He clearly had never read any of my long rambling posts.

That's his loss, I often find them more entertaining than some of his ramblings. It's amazing how many people take his plays as a reliable source of history, a bit like today's generation believing that Eastenders or the like is true to life.

Keep on rambling......
