Xavier 08-10-2003 10:02 AM

Yeah Max, I think it's a good time to give the results and to go on

Wil 08-10-2003 12:54 PM

Alright, alright, hold your horses. I've been trying to talk to you, Xavier, about the final question since I got the Natives' answers, but couldn't catch you in OddChat.

Okay, I have both the Industrialists' and the Natives' answers, and I have to say I'm mighty pleased with the results. :D

These were the results I recieved (with all the chat removed):
The Industrials:
Oddworld city: Necrum
Newspapers: The Daily Deception, The Sun
TV Stations: MOM, FUD and the Oddworld Nature Channel

I can say now that these are all correct answers. I'd issue bonus marks too for quoting something I said on the Forums, but I don't need to.

The Natives:
Oddworld city: Oddsville
Newspapers: The Daily Deception
TV Stations: MOM, FUD and the Nature Channel

I'll accept the Nature Channel, but I can't accept Oddsville. Oddsville will be proud that he's had such an influence on the members of his team, but sadly it's not an official creation. Sorry!

Official scores are, well, pending, because I haven't decided how to mark this round, and I missed Xavier on OddChat by 10 minutes according to Majic, but it's clear who's winning. Next question will be here... erm, like I say, whenever I can talk to Xav.

Congratulations Industrals! :D

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 01:45 PM

WHY:crying: WHY!:crying: I'm sorry you guys, I let you down!:crying: CURSE THOSE INDUSTRIALS:flames: BTW, thanx Max.

Sekto Springs 08-10-2003 02:07 PM

you monster oddsville! you told us that was a real place!

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 02:44 PM

I thought that it was, oh well! On to the next round...what happened to the rest of our team? We have GrigtheSlig(ME), paramiteabe,old and not so tasty,Al the Vykker, sligslinger, Oddsville,Abeguy, and Abe16...where did Abeguy and Abe16 go? And Abe16 is our captain too! What will we do!:fuzconf:

Xavier 08-10-2003 03:08 PM

ooops, well I will try to be a bit more often on Oddchat... sorry about that, BTW wasn't the times an other of the Oddworld Newspapers (if The Sun is, why not)?

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 03:16 PM

Ya know what, I just realized something...I had the Sun as a posible Newspaper, but I couldn't find solid evidence, so I dropped it.:crying:

Xavier 08-10-2003 03:46 PM

what do you mean by solid evidence?
wasn't "The Sun" the newspaper that said the Chirac a worm is?

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 03:48 PM

I couldn't find official evidence to prove it's realness, so I figured it was made up and moved on...:crying:

Sekto Springs 08-10-2003 03:49 PM

i think he means that he couldnt find it on any sites to prove it, anyway would someone ask a new question?

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 03:53 PM

There ya go sligslinger, that's what I mean! Yeah, ask away, is Max on or can Xav give us the Q?

Xavier 08-10-2003 04:09 PM

this picture was enough

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 04:12 PM

I haven't seen that pic before! Why can't you be on our team!:crying:

Xavier 08-10-2003 04:15 PM

I hate my life!:crying: Oh well, stop hanging this over my head, i'm emarrassed!:fuzemb: Next Round!

Xavier 08-10-2003 05:20 PM

sorry... I was just trying to help... :fuzwink:

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 05:24 PM

No prob, I was just joking. I still wuv you!

Sekto Springs 08-10-2003 05:58 PM

ok, cut the lovefest and ask a new question already!

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 07:23 PM

Max! Get over here and ask us a Q! I'm not really mad, just impatent.:D

Wil 08-10-2003 07:29 PM

I'll ask the next question just as soon as I can talk it over with Xav. I have this horrible, horrible feeling I missed him on OddChat by a shot while, again...

:

BTW wasn't the times an other of the Oddworld Newspapers (if The Sun is, why not)?
No reason why not, except I haven't seen or heard about Abe reading The Times on Oddworld. Since neither team answered with it, it doesn't make much difference at this point in time.

oddguy 08-10-2003 07:34 PM

Well, may I just congradulate my team on our success! Everyone helped, which isn't a usual occurence with industrials, but we made it! Either we go to next Q, or Natives go to TRIBAL COUNCIL and vote somebody out!

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 08:06 PM

Yeah, yeah. Brag all ya want oddguy, your team will lose in the end! :flames: Disclamer: This is not a threat.:D

I sure don't feel threatened! :lol:

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 08:21 PM

Just in case! Xav and Max aren't on right now! Why not! :crying: I can't handle the suspence!

First of all, I never ever said anything about it being a real place. (I never even talked to you about it so calm down.) Infact I told everyone else that asked if "Oddsville" was the correct answer that it wasn't and to put "The BigCity". But I guess no one listend to me...

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 09:37 PM

Sorry, I remember you telling me that one...now! I'm very dumb! :crying:

Sekto Springs 08-10-2003 10:15 PM

hey, ask a fuggin Question already, chat and ask! im in an "aswerey" mood now, so hurry the hell up!

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 10:23 PM

Yeah, danmit! I'm tired of waiting!

oddguy 08-10-2003 10:45 PM

Max said he was coming up with Q's. Be patient kiddies!:D

GrigtheSlig 08-10-2003 11:02 PM

Alright! I hate to wait! Hey, that rhymes!

Wil 08-11-2003 07:57 AM

Well how about instead of waiting you get on with something else in your life? We've missed the deadline for whoever it was to send a prize to the winner, so there's no rush. I've been in OddChat all the time I've been online for the past day or two, and I do have some questions formulating in my mind. Also, I'm concerned this thread is turning into some kind of spamathon - probably boring as hell to read through.

oddguy 08-11-2003 08:19 AM

My poor thread.....corupted by wretched spam! :crying: Hopefully.....once we get through this game, the next one will be more organized and less spam-o-thon-ish.

GrigtheSlig 08-11-2003 06:35 PM

I think that the host(s) should have the Questions prepared already so nobody has to wait forever and so there's no time for spam! I like it!

Wil 08-11-2003 06:38 PM

Okay competors, competitioners and compfolk, the scores have been determined to be as follows...

The Industrials: 12.5
The Natives: 10.5

The next question is where the points can really start to flow, and where we test your observational and memory skills, and where, the winner of this round will hopefully (and with a bit of luck) be decided. It is this:

How many Oddworld creatures have been depicted in art, architecture, fashion and sculptures, and in what way are they depicted?

This, of course, is an in-universe question, so no prizes for saying: "That little Fuzzle in Alf's Odds and Ends." :p The same creature can be used more than one, obviously. This requires another list-type answer, with one point being awarded to each correct entry in your list.

More information on further details shall emerge soon. I'm waiting for Xavier to remember he's in OddChat. :p

EDIT: To Grig: I think the competitors should have the answer within two weeks of the question being posted, personally.

GrigtheSlig 08-11-2003 06:42 PM

I thought that the time limit was shorter than that...like a week long. A week should be the limit, otherwise it will take sooooooo long!

Wil 08-11-2003 07:02 PM

Noooo, that's not what I said, I was complaining that you took so long to give in the last answers, especially now that you say you thought the time limit was one week. As it is, I've spoken to Xavier, and the time limit is one week, meaning answers are to be PMed to either Xavier or me by Monday 18th August.

GrigtheSlig 08-11-2003 07:28 PM

Ok, sorry we took so long on the last answer, me and sligslinger were the only ones really working on it...

Ummmm.......the oddworld creature......do they have to be in every catergory to qualify as a correct answer or not? I'm not asking this because I'm waiting to talk about it with my team. We're allready working on it.
