| THE TOURNAMENT OF TORTURE |
INTRODUCTION
I am standing in the game room, where ten teams of two are about to compete head to head in heated competitions. The ultimate goal? Knock out all your opposing teams, and be the last team standing. The team that accomplishes this wins the right to call themselves the Tournament of Torture champions. But this title wont come easily. It will take teamwork, knowledge, and also strategy to accomplish this goal. Even though there will be handicaps, and decisions needed to be made that will in turn effect your competitors, at the end of the day, your performance in the Three T Task's will ultimately be what decides how far you go in this game. Perform well in the tasks, and you will breeze on through to the next round (with a nice little reward if you manage to come in first). But if your team comes in last place, you are eliminated. No elimination round, no vote off, no nothing. If you do not perform well, you are saying goodbye.
THE THREE T TASKS
Every round you will be faced with The Three T Tasks. This includes the Teamwork Task which will test your ability to work and communicate as a team, the Trivia Task which will test your brain, and the Tournament Task which is a complete wildcard. You will be given approximately 48 hours to complete your tasks, after which your team will be ranked in all three of your tasks from best to worst. You will receive points based on how well you did in your task (best score will earn top points, lowest score earns the least) giving you three separate scores (one per task). You three scores will then be combined to give you one final score, and those scores will ultimately decide who stays in the competition, and who leaves. Advantages will be given out to the first place team in every task, and the advantage will be kept secret from all the other teams. This process will continue until the finals
THE GRAND FINALE
At some point in the game, the tasks will come to an end, and the teams that remain will be faced with The Grand Finale. Think of it as a race to the finish type event, and this will be for all the marbles. First place team wins the tournament, everybody else loses. As simple as that. Winner receives... pride. And bragging rights (which I'm sure they'll put to good use). Losers go home knowing that they are just that... losers.
STILL UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? WELL GET READY, BECAUSE YOUR FIRST SET OF THREE T TASK'S ARE COMING SOON!

ROUND 1
Introduction:
It is time to begin your first Three T Tasks! 10 teams are starting off this game, but by the end of 72 hours, only 9 will move on. Make sure you do your best if you want your team to stay alive! Let's begin the Tournament of Torture!
Teamwork Task: Count It Up
For this teamwork task, I have set up a message between you and your partner. Between now and the next 72 hours it will be you and your partners job to count as high as you possibly can in the message within the 72 hour time limit. The catch? You must work as a team in order to count, and therefore you must alternate numbers between you and your partner. One partner will post the number 1, and the next partner must post the number 2. Basically one person is doing odd numbers while the other one is doing even numbers. You are not allowed to double post in the message, and you MUST wait for you partner to post their number before you can continue.
Trivia Task: Scrambler
Today's trivia task will be individual, and is available by messaging me or Bryan to receive it.
Tournament Task: Team Pride
Your first tournament task will be to make a team poster. You can do so however you want, using whatever program you want (you could even draw it and take a picture if you choose to). The only rules are the poster must showcase your team name, and also have your individual usernames somewhere on it. Send me your team poster when it is complete, and someone who has no bias on this site will be judging your posters based on following the criteria, as well as overall appeal. Make sure it's good!
Scoring
You have the possibility of earning 10 points in each of the three tasks, giving a total of 30 after they are all added up. In each of the tasks, the scoring will be as such:
1st Place: 10 points
2nd Place: 9 points
3rd Place: 8 points
4th Place: 7 points
5th Place: 6 points
6th Place: 5 points
7th Place: 4 points
8th Place: 3 points
9th Place: 2 points
10th Place: 1 point
Your scores in all three events will be added up. Highest overall score wins an advantage in the game, while last place team will be eliminated... and leaves the tournament in 10th place. You don't want that to be you.
YOU HAVE UNTIL SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 7TH AT 9PM SITE TIME

Alright so I had this all nicely typed out and everything, but somehow everything got deleted (yeah... there's my torture) so I'm just going to reveal the results this way and then give you a detailed task by task result at the end. In first place, and winning the first tournament reward is...  In second place we have a tie...  And also in 2nd place...  In fourth place, we also have a tie... between 3 teams. The first team is...  Also in 4th place...  And rounding out the 4th place club...  Only 4 teams left, and one of them is going home for sure... In 7th place...  And in 8th place...  Which leaves us with Team International, and Team Whipped Cream. Only one point separated the two of you, but sadly in this game... that one point is the difference between staying and leaving. The last team safe is...  Which sadly means that the team leaving the tournament in 10th place is...  You were a fun team to have around, and I wish you were around more. I'm sure you would have been an entertaining team! Sadly, this just wasn't your competition... Thanks for competing! As for Team Awesome. You will be receiving some sort of advantage shortly through personal message. It is up to you whether you share the details with others or not. The next round of the tournament will begin at 11:00pm site time! Get ready! ------------------------------------------- Detailed Results:Poster Rankings:1st - Team Awesome (10) 2nd - Team Wolfpack (9) 3rd - Team He-Man Dewie Haters Club (8) 4th - Team Who Gives A Sh*t (7) 5th - Team Heartbreakers (6) 6th - Team Grandma (5) 7th - Team Vicious and Delicious (4) 8th - Team International (3) 9th - Team Peanut Butter Squad (2) 10th - Team Whipped Cream (1) Count It Up:Team Awesome 2513 (10) Team Grandma 1035 (9) Team Vicious and Delicious: 1035 (9) Team He-Man Dewie Haters Club 701 (7) Team Wolfpack: 479 (6) Team Peanut Butter Squad: 250 (5) Team Heartbreakers: 128 (4) Team Who Gives A Sh*t: 72 (3) Team Whipped Cream: 65 (2) Team International 40 (1) Unscramble:Team Awesome: 8:09 (10) Team Heartbreakers: 12:15 (9) Team Who Gives A Sh*t: 24:06 (8) Team Vicious and Delicious: 34:09 (7) Team Grandma: 55:57 (6) Team Wolfpack: 1:02:37 (5) Team He-Man Dewie Hater's Club: 1:08:02 (4) Team Whipped Cream: 1:27:16 (3) Team International 1:28:26 (2) Team Peanut Butter Squad: 1:28:44 (1) TOTAL:Team Awesome: 30 Team Grandma: 20 Team Wolfpack: 20 Team Vicious and Delicious: 19 Team Heartbreakers: 19 Team He-Man Dewie Hater's Club: 19 Team Who Gives A Sh*t: 18 Team Peanut Butter Squad: 8 Team International: 7 Team Whipped Cream: 6 |

ROUND 2
Introduction:
Congratulations to the remaining 9 teams for making it to round 2 of the Tournament! After this round, only 8 teams will remain. Do your best, and have fun!
Teamwork Task: What A Steal!
Today's teamwork task is possible to be completed without your partner, but in order to score the best results, you and your partner are going to need to be on at the same time as well as use communication in order to make it happen. Every team will start off with 50 points, and every half hour you and your partner will be given the opportunity to steal a point from another team of your choosing. How do you do this? There is a new board titled "Tournament of Torture: What A Steal!" and between now and the next 72 hours, every half hour (at ?:00 and ?:30) you are allowed to post:
(Name) Steals Point From (Team Name)
You must complete this challenge in the board specifically for What A Steal! You are only allowed to post this when the clock reaches ?:00 and ?:30, AND only the first and last person to post this within the minute will actually be able to steal the points. Everyone else is out of luck. Now do you understand where the teamwork part of this challenge takes place? If only you are on, sure... you might be able to steal one point away from another team, but that team could just as easily steal a point right back from you if they are the last team to post. But if both you and your partner work this out properly and become both the first and last person to post, you are up 2 points for that hour.
So in a quick review, at every ?:00 and ?:30 you are allowed to attempt to steal a point, and only the first person and last person to do it will actually be allowed to steal. And you are not allowed to post twice in a single minute as an individual. If you're lucky enough to be the only person to post, you will be allowed to steal 2 points.
At the end of 72 hours, the team with the most points will earn the higher amount of points in the scoreboard while the lowest will obviously have that reflect in the scoreboard.
Either Bryan or I will come on periodically to give you an update on the points. You can start this task as soon as we hit the first half hour mark.
And I know it's a bit confusing so feel free to ask any questions! Good luck!
Trivia Task: Find Me
This trivia task is once again individual and will require you to message either myself or Bryan when you are ready to complete it.
Tournament Task: Tower Stack
Today's tournament task will be one of my all time favorite flash games "Tower Stack". You need to stack the blocks on top of each other in order to rack up your points. If you miss 3 times, it's game over for you. Hint: Perfectly stacking one block on top of the other earn you bonus points in the game.
www.mindjolt.com/tower-stack.html
Once you are satisfied with you score, post a screenshot of it in your confessional (if you need help with taking a screenshot, ask me or somebody else, I'm sure they'd be willing to help). I will add up both you and your partners score and compare it with the other teams to figure out your score in the challenge.
Scoring
You have the possibility of earning 20 points in each of the three tasks, giving a total of 60 after they are all added up. In each of the tasks, the scoring will be as such:
1st Place: 20 points
2nd Place: 17 points
3rd Place: 15 points
4th Place: 13 points
5th Place: 11 points
6th Place: 9 points
7th Place: 7 points
8th Place: 5 points
9th Place: 3 points
Your scores in all three events will be added up. Highest overall score wins an advantage in the game, while last place team will be eliminated... and leaves the tournament in 9th place. You don't want that to be you.
YOU HAVE UNTIL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 11PM SITE TIME

Rule Change: From now on if you try to post for the first steal and miss, you are allowed to post again. So if you accidentally post too early, you are allowed to try and get the second steal (or if nobody got the first steal still, you could go for that). The rule of one individual only being able to win the first OR last steal still applies, just now if you miss the first time you are allowed to play for the last steal. ALSO: If you're the second person to post can you still go for the last post? Like if Dewie post at :00:00 and I post at :00:01 can I go for the last post? Yes you can

ROUND 2: RESULTSIt's time to find out who the second team leaving the tournament will be... You guys fought hard this round, and the What A Steal task was extremely fun to watch. It showed where loyalties lie... and dedication too. But now, one of you must leave. Coming in first place, with 57 points and winning the Tournament Reward for this round is... Once again Team Awesome are the winners of this round. Might not have been a perfect score this time around, but either way... good job! Your reward will be messaged to you at the start of the next round.
In second place with 48 points is... Congratulations on moving up from 4th place last round, to 2nd place this round! Great showing from you two. Might not get a reward, but you're not going home!
In third place with 41 points... Dropped a little bit from last rounds 2nd place, but you should still be very proud. Nice job you two!
In 4th place with 37 points is... From being in the bottom 3 last week to being in the top 4 this week, huge improvement! Keep it up!
Next up, tied for 5th place with 31 points each is... Right in the middle of the pack, and staying consistent as well. Maybe the next set of tasks will reach out to your talents more. Either way, you live to fight it out in round 3!
In 6th place, with 23 points is... Huge drop from last rounds performance. Use this as motivation to fight even harder, and fight for the top spot!
That leaves us with Team Heartbreakers, and Team International. Rough week for both your teams. Both of you failed to fully complete your tasks, and that definitely brought your scores down... Sadly only one of you can stay, and that team is... with 17 points... Congratulations! You may have barely survived, but either way you're still in the game, and hopefully you are able to complete all of the next tasks in order to fight for a higher spot!
And sadly with 15 points... It's the end of the road for you two. Kennyfan, no idea where you went... and I hope all is okay with you. Autoamerican, it's a team game... and at the end of the day, that's what got you. I'm sorry, but your journey is over. I hope to see you again... thank you for playing!
As for the rest of you... you have reached the final 8, and are going into Round 3. Your next set of Three T Tasks will be posted THURSDAY, September 11th at 9pm site time and as usual you will have 72 hours to complete them. And I promise you... it wont be as demanding as your first two rounds. Consider this a little bit of a break... but make no mistake about it, one of you will still be going home. --------------------- DETAILED RESULTS:

ROUND 3
Introduction:
Two teams are gone so far... and 8 remain. After this round we will be left with the final 7! Fight hard... the tournament rewards are worth the time you spend to get first place (I think lol)
Teamwork Task: Battleship
Your teamwork task for today is our take on the classic game "Battleship"
As a team, it will be your job to choose ANY 3 spots on this battleship board that you want to hide in. Along with that, you must also decide 10 spaces that you want to hit IN THE ORDER YOU WANT TO HIT THEM.
After every team has send in their choices (or when 72 hours passes, whichever comes first), we will go down the list in order of who placed first last round, all the way to the 8th place finishing team. First we will take everyone's first choice and knock those numbers off the board. Then we go down the list again and knock off everybody's second choice and so on. Once your team loses all 3 of your spots, you are out of the challenge and will be given points based on when you were taken out of the game (first team to lose all 3 spots gets least amount of points). The team who keeps at least one of their hiding spots safe the longest will win the most points.
Also, once your team is taken out, your hits will no longer count in the game.
REMEMBER, this is a teamwork task... and I want you to treat it as one. I want communication all around for where you guys hide, and which spaces you want to hit.
Trivia Task: Purely Logic
This trivia task is once again individual and will require you to message either myself or Bryan when you are ready to complete it.
Tournament Task: Vote 4 Me
For your tournament task today, all of your team names have been added to a poll (link provided). Your task is to get as many people as you can (whether it be from this site or anywhere else) to vote for your team in the poll. The more votes, the more points you will receive.
And before anyone asks, yes, you are allowed to vote on the poll.
Poll Link:
www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=5412945ae4b088456e71bfeb
Scoring
You have the possibility of earning 20 points in each of the three tasks, giving a total of 60 after they are all added up. In each of the tasks, the scoring will be as such:
1st Place: 20 points
2nd Place: 17 points
3rd Place: 15 points
4th Place: 12 points
5th Place: 9 points
6th Place: 6 points
7th Place: 4 points
8th Place: 2 points
Your scores in all three events will be added up. Highest overall score wins an advantage in the game, while last place team will be eliminated... and leaves the tournament in 8th place. You don't want that to be you.
YOU HAVE UNTIL SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH AT 10:30PM SITE TIME

There is a new poll link added. Sorry, but everybody has to start at 0 again. Didn't think I was going to be maxed out in responses (to be fair I thought it was 500 max...) Whatever, I'm sure you guys will manage. Sucks, but can't think of anything else unless someone wants to fork up $30. www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=5412945ae4b088456e71bfebAlso, you are only allowed to vote once as an individual. If I catch you voting more than once, you are getting a 0 for this task. |

Due to a few people not being able to complete the trivia task, as well as a few battleship co-ordinates not being send in, you are all being given a...
24 HOUR EXTENSION
This means you now have until Monday September 15th at 10:30pm Site time to complete your three tasks. The next round of competition will begin as soon as I post the results tomorrow night.

ROUND 3: RESULTSIt's time to find out who will be leaving the tournament in 8th place. It was a hard fought battle this round, and after many ties and tie breakers... we do have clear results on who is in first, and who is headed home. Let's start off with first place. So far Team Awesome has managed to snag that title 2 times in a row. Will they continue? With 46 points... and in 1st place for this round... After coming in 2nd last week, this week you are taking the top spot! Congratulations! You will be given the tournament reward for this round which will be revealed to everyone during the next round of competition. Keep up the good work!
In 2nd place, with 41 points... You guys got top points in the trivia task, but the other two tasks are what dropped you down a little bit. 2nd place is not bad at all, but I'm sure you're going to be kicking yourselves over this just a bit. There's always next round!
In 3rd place, with 38 points... Best performance from you two so far! You're climbing up there. Keep it up and you could be the team sitting at that top spot.
In 4th place, with 36 points... You two are sitting right in the middle again. Maybe that's your strategy? Who knows. Either way, you're sticking around and that's all that matters.
In 5th place, with 28 points... Slight drop from last week, but still fighting hard. You're here for another round. Keep it up!
Which leaves us with 3 teams.. Heartbreakers, Who Gives A Sh*t, and Wolfpack. 2 of your teams tied for 6th place, while the other team is in last. The two teams who are safe, with 25 points are... Barely managed to squeak through to the next round, but both of you live to see another day. Congratulations, and continue fighting hard!
And sadly, with 18 points... leaving the competition... Not sure what happened to Aubree... but Dusty, I know you wanted to stay and compete. You did well in the Tournament Poll Task, but sadly you came in last in both Trivia and Teamwork. It's hard to compete without a partner, and I understand that. I hope to see you compete again if there is a next season. Thanks for playing!
And with that, 7 teams remain. Your next round of the tournament will begin shortly. Keep up the good work everybody, and write some confessionals for me and Bryan!  ------------------------------------- DETAILED RESULTS:

ROUND 4
Introduction:
After last rounds elimination, we are left with 7 teams. Be aware that this rounds Three T Task's include 2 "message me" tasks, so when you are ready to complete them, make sure you specifiy in the title of your message which on you are completing. Thanks, and good luck!
Teamwork Task: Scrambler - The Sequel
For this teamwork task, we are combining elements from round one's trivia task, but adding them in a way that you and your partner will have to work together to figure it out. Both teammates must be on at the same time. When your team is ready to go, I will send both members 2 separate lists of letters that will seem random. But when you put your letters together with your partners, you can use your letters to form a phrase. The letters you will be given are grouped by their words, but they are scrambled up (as well as separated between you and your partner, so you will have to communicate to get this done). You will need to combine your letters with your partners letters, and unscramble them together in order to complete your phrase. Once you post the correct phrase, your time will be stopped. If you post an incorrect phrase, I will tell you you are incorrect, and you will have to continue until you get it right. There is a 1 minute penalty for each incorrect guess.
EXAMPLE:
Partner #1:
SH
G
NW
EH
ELCH
Partner #2:
OT
P
IS
T
NLGEA
Combined:
HOST PG WINS THE CHALLENGE
So if it's not clear, one partner would get the top list, while the other partner would get the bottom list. It is impossible to complete this challenge without communicating with your partner. When you're ready, PM one of the hosts and we'll give it out!
Trivia Task: Think Fast
As usual, your Trivia Task is individual and will be completed by messaging either Bryan or myself.
Tournament Task: Squaring Off
For this Tournament Task, we are going to test where your loyalties lie. If you've made an effort to make friends in this game, this one should be easy for you... but if you're not well liked, this could be the task that may just get you sent home.
Each team has 5 squares, and one at a time each team will go up and cover another teams square. How will the teams be chosen? The first place team from last round (Vicious and Delicious) will be the first team to cover another teams square. In the same post, they MUST say who is going next. The team they choose to go next will then cover a square, and once again choose the next team to go. The catch? You cannot pick the team that went before you. (Example: PG goes first, picks Bryan to go next. Bryan can pick anybody EXCEPT PG to go after them).
Once all 5 of your teams squares are covered, you are completely out of this task and will no longer be able to cover other peoples squares. Last team standing will win the most points for this task. Team Vicious and Delicious also has 1 extra square due to their tournament reward.
Team Vicious and Delicious [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Team Awesome [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Team He-Man Dewie Hater's Club [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Team Grandma [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Team Wolfpack [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Team Peanut Butter Squad [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
Team Who Give A Sh*t [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
When you are posting, copy and paste the last person post (put an X inside one of the squares of a team you want to cover) and also say who is going next. If you do not say who is going next, any team (except the team that went before you) is allowed to steal the turn. If you want to have control of who goes next, make sure you say a name.
This challenge will take place in the board titles "Tournament of Torture: Squaring Off"
Scoring
You have the possibility of earning 18 points in each of the three tasks, giving a total of 54 after they are all added up. In each of the tasks, the scoring will be as such:
1st Place: 18 points
2nd Place: 15 points
3rd Place: 12 points
4th Place: 9 points
5th Place: 6 points
6th Place: 4 points
7th Place: 2 points
Your scores in all three events will be added up. Highest overall score wins an advantage in the game, while last place team will be eliminated... and leaves the tournament in 7th place. You don't want that to be you.
YOU HAVE UNTIL THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18TH AT 12AM SITE TIME

If there is 100% no way you and your partner can get on at the same time, message Bryan and I and we will find a solution for you... but only do it if there is no way for you and your partner to do it together because the solution will put you at a bit of a disadvantage.

Round 4 Results
It was an interesting round of competitions, filled with drama and a few upset competitors... but at the end of the day, just remember... just because you do bad in one task, it does not mean your out of the game. Are you ready for some surprising results?
In first place this week, with 38 points and also receiving this weeks Tournament Prize...
Congratulations! Clearly your team is a big target, but you guys perform in the tasks where it counts. You may have came in last in Squaring Off, but you came in first in both the other tasks... and that gets you first place this week! Congratulations! Your reward will be messaged to you both shortly.
Next up we have a tie for 2nd place. With 33 points and moving onto the next round...
Congratulations both of you! You may have been early targets in Squaring off, but as you can see... that had little effect in the overall results. And with that, 3/4 of the teams that were eliminated first in Squaring Off are now safe...
In 4th place this week, with 27 points we have...
Sitting right in the middle this week, which is a good spot to be in. No target on your back, and yet you're still left fighting in the game. Congratulations and good luck as you move forward!
That leaves us with 3 teams left... Team Peanut Butter Squad, Team Who Gives A Sh*t, and Team Vicious and Delicious. One of you is going home, and the other 2 will be moving on! In 5th place, with 26 points...
Your tournament advantage from last time really helped you out here. I think had you not had that, you guys would have been eliminated this round. Not to make you guys sound weak, but to give you guys the motivation to kick it up a notch. I know you guys are capable of getting to the top position as shown last round. Maybe next round will be better for you two!
Which leaves us with the final 2 teams... it was an extremely close battle between these two, and in the end only 1 point separated them. Let's find out who is safe.... with 21 points, barely making it to the next round is...
Barely made it through this week, and had you dropped one place in any of the tasks, you definitely would have been out. Pick it up next round! Congratulations on surviving.
And sadly, leaving the tournament in 7th place is...
You guys were so fun to watch, especially in your confessional and team threads. Definitely enjoyed having you two in the game, and I'm sure Bryan would agree. Not going to be the same without you, and I hope you guys decide to compete again in the future (once again, if a future game happens lol). Thank you so much for playing!
And just like that... 6 teams remain. You are going to have to fight real hard if you want to stay in the game, because as you can see... anyone can go. And as you can see also, just because you do bad in one task, doesn't mean you are out of the running for 1st place (Team Awesome just proved that). Continue fighting, your next round will begin shortly!

ROUND 5
Introduction:
We are getting down to the wire... only 6 teams remain in the competition, and after this round we will have reached the halfway point of the tournament. Five of you are moving on, while one of you is headed home in 6th place. Don't let that be your team.
Teamwork Task: Guide for Dummies
Let's get everybody's creative minds running for this teamwork task! You know how they have all those useful self help guide books in book stores? And then mixed in that bunch are a few random, completely stupid books that you never thought would exist? Your job today is to create one of the stupid help guide books. Get creative, make it funny, make it stupid, and have fun with it.
You will need to come up with a title for the book, a cover page for the book, as well as come up with the names for 10 chapters (just the names, not asking you to write the book here). Your goal is humor for this task. Make us laugh and be creative!
Work as a team on this task, and when you have completed it, message it to me and Bryan. You will be judged by a person not affiliated with this forum or any of the players in this game and judged based on your completion of the task, humor, and creativity.
Trivia Task: Fine Tuned
Surprise, surprise! Your Trivia Task is individual and will be completed by messaging either Bryan or myself.
Tournament Task: The Almighty Name
For this Tournament Task, you will have the next 72 hours to create as many words possible out of the words...
"THE TOURNAMENT OF TORTURE"
Each letter of the words can only be used once (unless it shows up more than once in the games title - for example, t can be used five times, but h only once), and once you have completed your list of words, send it to me and Bryan through message. Only one submission per team is required, so work as a team on this task.
Scoring
You have the possibility of earning 18 points in each of the three tasks, giving a total of 54 after they are all added up. In each of the tasks, the scoring will be as such:
1st Place: 18 points
2nd Place: 15 points
3rd Place: 12 points
4th Place: 8 points
5th Place: 5 points
6th Place: 2 points
Your scores in all three events will be added up. Highest overall score wins an advantage in the game, while last place team will be eliminated... and leaves the tournament in 6th place. Trust me, you don't want to leave right before the halfway point.
YOU HAVE UNTIL SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 21ST AT 12AM SITE TIME

24 HOURS EXTENSION
You have until Monday, September 22nd at 11pm site time to complete the tasks (mostly just for the message me task, but considering most of you haven't completed the other tasks you have an extension for those 2. So if the people that submitted theirs already wants to make any chances you are allowed to do so).

Round 5 Results
Alright time to figure out who is reaching the halfway point of the tournament. Let me start off by saying... I know there is going to be a bit of controversy in these results, and I admit I did make a few hosting mistakes... and by that I don't mean actual mistakes, I just mean I should have thought things through a lot more before doing them. I'll explain more when it comes up in the results... but anyways, don't give me to much sh*t for it. I admit it shouldn't have happened, and for what it's worth... it wouldn't change the overall results too much anyways. Without further ado... let's get to it.
In first place this round, with 51 Points...
You guys did extremely well in both tasks, except for the lyric task... where Dewie fell short. Luckily for you, your advantage pulled you back up to first for that task, and had you guys got a few extra words in the Almighty Name task, you would have gotten a perfect score this round. Congratulations!
Before we move on, this is where I need to address my hosting mistake. After last round, Team Awesome was given a tournament reward for coming in first place. That reward was "The power to eliminate their score for one individual task, and automatically move them up to first place". I admit this was way too much of an advantage, and I should have made it something like "The power to move your placement in one individual task up by 2 or something" but at that point I can't just take away an advantage I already gave out. This is 100% my fault, and I am sorry if anyone feels this was unfair... but what's done is done. Like I said, it would not have changed the results drastically anyways. I'm still trying to get back into hosting and figuring out what's fair and unfair... and these advantages have definitely shown the part where I'm still learning, because some of them have been extremely good while some not so much. I need to work on finding a happy medium with all of them. So yeah, just wanted to address that... Now let's continue on with the results.
In 2nd Place, with 35 points we have...
Nice work you two, keeping a good placement once again. Might not have been enough for first, but you're definitely getting close to claiming that top spot again!
In 3rd Place, with 32 points...
You have reached the halfway point of the competition, congratulations! Definitely a strong force in the game... keep it up you two!
In 4th place, with 28 points... and saving themselves from elimination is...
You live to see another day, congratulations and good work on this round, especially on the Almighty Name task.
That leaves us with our bottom 2... Peanut Butter Squad, and He-Man Dewie Haters Club. Only one of you will reach the halfway point of the game, while the other is leaving in 6th place. The final team safe, with 25 points is...
You guys survive! First bottom 2 apperance from you two, but I doubt it will become a regular thing. A bit of a rough round, but you can easily pick it up for the next one! Congratulations on staying in the game.
And the team that had a really rough week, and leaving the competition with 9 points...
I'm sorry you two! You managed to barely escape elimination over the past few rounds, but this round it just wasn't enough. I'm sorry the videos weren't working properly for you Stan... Definitely a rough showing but you guys were a blast to have in the game. Hope to see you compete again, and thank you both for playing!
As for the rest of you. Congratulations on reaching the halfway point! It hasn't been an easy battle, but you are all here still and that's what counts!
The next round will be posted in about an hour. I have to make some changes because I want it to be a little bit easier on you guys. You deserve a tiny bit of a break... but that doesn't mean it's going to be a cakewalk! Get ready!

ROUND 6
Introduction:
Congratulations everyone on reaching the halfway point of the competition! We are getting very close to the finals, so you all better be on your A games. Four teams are moving on from this round, while one is going home in 5th place. Don't let that be you!

This teamwork task will completely take place through personal messages. I will set up a message between you and your partner explaining the rules.
Trivia Task: The Jig is Up
Individual as usual. Message Bryan or I to complete it.
Tournament Task: Pacman
For this Tournament Task, you will be playing the classic game of "Pacman". You have 72 hours to get the best possible score you can at this website. Send me a screenshot that clearly shows your score AND also shows the Entertainment Reality forums clearly logged in to your username in the background. Both these things must be visible in the single screenshot.
www.freepacman.org/welcome.php
And I most likely will not allow you to play from your phone on this one because I am not sure the scoring will work exactly the same on your phone version.
