In regards to Steve being voted for...whoops. Don't know who did that. Oh well. I won't count it against him in the final score tally Smile

Anyway, I only got one entry in the challenge, and so the winner is...

ALEXJ!!! (w/a time of 6:16)

Gets Immunity and no Reward points.

Votes are due to me by 11:59 PM GMT Thursday. Get votin'.

Also, here's the final three Immunity, just so that I don't have to post again...

You must write me a story, make it 500 words. Here are the guidelines:

- You need to write a story about a boy named Kevin. Mention his name at least 3 times. You lose 15 points for each time you do not mention his name.

- Kevin has to go to the park and buy a snack. He comes home and then plays fetch with his dog. This should be the plotline. If you don't include these points, you lose 30 points for each one not included.

- It has to make sense. If it's confusing, you lose 20 points. It should be very straightforward, nothing like "flamingoes in the sky danced on top of Shania Twain's head" or something. It must follow the given plotline.

- You are not allowed to use any of the following words. If you do, you lose 5 points (there are 12).
Park
Snack
Buy
Go
Went
Come
Home
House
Play
Fetch
Dog
His

- You can use the following words, but with a penalty, much like above. You will lose 2 points for any of the following words used (there are 30):
The
At
Then
And
Or

Food
"Hot Dog"
Popcorn
Grub
Ketchup
Mustard
Walk
Bench
Stroll
Saunter

House
Abode
Door
Enter
Fun
Out
In

Pet
Collie
Breed
Mutt
Pooch
Stick
Ball
Yard/Backyard

- However, if you can manage to use all the above words (including the first list), you will not lose any points for using those particular words, and you will get 30 Reward Points.

- For each word that you are off from 500 you lose 3 points. (Meaning if you wound up w/494, you lose 18 total points)

- You have a base point total of 300. Whoever loses the least points (a.k.a. has the most at the end) wins the final immunity and casts the deciding vote as to who comes into the final two with them.

Good luck. These are due on Friday at 11:59 PM GMT.

Who's still in the game? And, don't you have to wait till the results of the vote before the next challenge? And that would probably take until Thursday, so that gives the final 3 people on 1 day to do the story.

What's the point in this any more? You've voted everyone off, everyone just gets immunity and no one ever gets any points.

Meh, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that if you're voting everyone off (eventually it will happen) without giving anyone any points, then the other 6 or w/eva people who didn't win any "Reward Points", like they were promised, will get annoyed. I personally don't mind, just seems slightly silly.

Crap.

I was at camp for a week... I missed that puzzle thing. Mad

I'll send my vote later today when I wake up (I should really go to bed before midnight... Rolling Eyes

)... You kind of scared me by posting the next 3 challenges. I thought I had missed the voting (and sent a self-vote)...

I'm confused. Das Mole hasn't posted the results of the vote, so how are we meant to know if we are doing the next challenge or not? It was meant to be done by last Friday, but I don't know if I'm in or not.

I think Das is dead. And I never did hear about that story. Sounds like it was a *female dog* to write.
