As much as I hate to say this, I think I should just resign. I'm just holding everyone back and making the game less fun. I don't want to do that to you guys.

In order to preserve everyone's sanity, then, I shall step down from the helm of Mount Zoom and offer the driver's position to anybody who wants it.

*takes off Sauron's helmet that she's wearing and puts it on the table*

Hmm. Looks like I had the volume turned up too high. *turns the volume dial from SHOUT to Loud and Intimidating*

Sad to see you go Maeggaladiel, your posts were good when they came.

So, the position of Sauron driving the MIGHTY Mount Zoom is open to anyone who wants to try his or her hand at being a Dark Lord.

I think the game should end when three teams have reached the end. Seems fair there should be first, second and third place winners.
I agree.

My apologies for our not-quite-so-spirited as usual entry for this challenge. It's a busy time for me, at least, and Spawn warned at the beginning that she'd be busy.

I guess when I signed up in April, I didn't expect things to run this long.

All the same, no apologies for the shortness of our entry. I had the idea in mind for a "Burrahobbit" style entry for a while now- and time constraints or no time constraints, I intended to do it sooner or later. So there.

I've no problems with your method, as long as you get the challenge done and you think it will win votes, I see no problems.

If I'm honest, I had no idea of how long this game would take when it began! I knew it would probably be lengthy, but so far it has gone on longer than I expected. (I blame these extended deadlines).

Apologies (once again) as I have become busy. My final exams are coming up in a month so it's "crack down time" as we call it and I've gotten busy with a whole bunch of things. I will try to get back to posting, but I don't know how possible that will be. But I don't think it would be a wise decision for me to drop out at the same time as my Master, so I shall stay.

Master, it's sad to see you go. May things get better for you.

So, finishing that off, I'd like to say I NEED A MASTER AND QUICK!!!

Well it is exam time at the moment, so perhaps a break would be wise at some time soon. If those taking exams could inform me of when their last exam will be, I can get an idea of when to set up a little 'pit-stop' for the MZC.

Pipe Dear, oh dear...

Last day of voting for the Singing Elves Game.

Once this challenge is over, I'm issuing a pit stop. This is because so many are dropping out due to workloads and posts are getting shorter.

The Pit stop will last from June 5th until 1 July.

If anyone objects, do say so. I know a lot of people are on exams at the moment, I am one of these people and can understand that it can be an aggravating time.

I'm quite sorry. I didn't have any exams, I was just negligent in my duties. So no excuse for me.

Once again, I'm really sorry.

I for one don't like the idea of the pit stop!! We are almost finished with this game and I really don't want to have to wait a whole month to play what...three more challenges max? I say you make one last challenge now and we have the whole month to come up with something and then you can work it out from there as to who wins. I don't want to quit, but a month from now I have no idea what I will be up to and I don't want to have to play again for such a short time. Why don't you wrap this one up then if others want to play again someone can start a new game.

Then I vote to wait on it. We have a low number of people participating right now, and it's not going to improve if we rush it, though it might improve if we wait.

And for myself I can only prefer to wait. June is very irregular.

Well, I'm perfectly fine with a break. I think a lot of people are really busy right now, and even if they aren't, a break might 'rejuvenate' them. It'll be good for the most part. Sorry Valier.

I also must vote for

++Pit Stop

For two reasons

a) I don't have a master anymore

b) (RL) My exams are coming up and my time is going to be completely occupied with studying for said exams.

I have to agree that pit stop is needed. Although i will allow posts on the game thread for character development, setting up plans etcetera.
I would end the pit stop sooner, only I do not know when all the exams and that will be finished. My final exam in on 23rd of June, so after that I'm free to begin the game once again. Glirdan, when do you finish?

Moreover, we're still looking for a Dark Lord!

The official last day is either the 28th or 29th. My teachers are just as confused about as I am in (seriously, our Administration isn't the best in the entire world...) so anytime after the 29th is fine by me.

It's possible that I might be able to pick up Sauron's helm again, but I will be unavailable to post for the entire first week of July. No promises though.

But if things work out, then SAURON WILL RIDE AGAIN!!! MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!! *cough hack cough*

We'll see.

But if anyone else would like to take the job, go right ahead!

Three days of the Pit stop left, folks! You can still post on the Game thread with how the characters are dealing with it and what they are discussing (or eating in the Hobbit's case).

The next challenge will be up soon.

Just notifying you that I will have to be away till the 15th. Alas, too many things to do at the moment and also picked up another injury in my last match... I really need to get myself fit again, its costing the team...

I'm sorry but I'll have to be out of the game till the 15th of July.

Question

What's the time limit for the latest challenge?

A nice long one would suit me down to the ground. Something like two weeks, perhaps?

I was going to say that you have until Wednesday. The longer time limits have seemed to cause very lacklustre posts with a good few of the players.

But, if you're desperate for a longer time frame, I'm going to say...

End of this challenge = Friday 7th July.

You mean July, right? Because that would mean we get a whole year to post.

Speaking of which, do I have a Master yet? I'd really like to know before I go and post thank you.

... Yes, July. Well spotted.

Maeggaladiel will be taking up Sauron again. But for the first week, you're on your own, I'm afraid unless someone pops in to lend a hand. Think of an amusing reason for Sauron to be out of it.

I have not heard from Boromir88 yet, so I am not sure if we will be done by Friday. I have some ideas, but nothing concrete yet.

Oh dear, I go away for a few days and utterly miss the next challenge... Sorry about that. Thanks, Sauce, for covering so effectively.

I promise, I'll be here for the next one.

Seeing as only Bag-endless fuel and Orth tank are done, I'll have to give you an extension on this challenge.

Finish the horse challenge by... Monday 10th July.

By the way, Meneltarmacil, that was pretty hilarious!

Oops....

I guess it's my turn to need the extension... time has slipped right by me- and Spawn too, apparently... I'll try to get something up over the weekend... but if not, then I guess we'll well deserve the consequent no points.

Shall I third that?

I will (hopefully) comeup with something later and post it. However, I must let you all know that sometime this week, the computer is being reformatted. When and how long it will take, I have no clue. Wish I did, but I don't. So, Mount Zoom may be....ummmm, shall ww say, for lack of better words, pit stopped? Sorry everyone!

Does this still apply with regard to those who managed to meet the original deadline ...?

Hmm... We seem to have come to an interesting point...

Mount Zoom = Not Done

Bag Endless-fuel = Done - Horse eating men helped out

Orth-Tank = Done - Narrator convinced to change the plot


Barad-Dash = Not done

Medul-zoom = Not done

Minas Mor-go = Done - Horses turned into Horse wraiths.

Minas Taxi = Not Done


3 are done, yet 4 are not.

So, people, what do we do? I don't want to extend the deadline any further, but if I don't then, I'm afraid, Barrad Dash will be disqualified for failing to complete the last 4 challenges.
