Remove this ad Closing Confessional Elizabeth: opens the letter she received earlier in the leg "Dearest Lizzy, As I write this, I am fighting the drops of tears that are escaping my eye orbs. Mister Bingley's left for London, and it doesn't appear he will ever return. After my stay with you and Darcy on your journey and a subsequent one at his estate with a horrible cold, he left for London on business, and I have yet to hear or see him in some while. I tried speaking with his sister, Caroline, but she has declined to offer me any solace, and it appears that Mister Bingley doesn't plan to return, and if she shall, he doesn't have any interest in my presense anymore. I'm afraid that my efforts were in vain, and I have lost the man I, dare I say? loved. He must have believed me to not have shown an interest, which as you are very much aware, is not the case. Perhaps it was that letter that Mister Darcy send to my Bingley, but I shall never know. I must move on, but this will be very difficult. I wish you many good fortunes on your journey with that man Darcy. Sincerely, Jane" Elizabeth: soliloquy How awful! If I were to ever meet Mister Bingley again in life, I will slit his throat and use his body to feed those unmentionables plaguing our countryside! How is it that such a charming man could be so callous? If there was indeed a letter written to Bingley from Darcy that convinced Bingley to depart from my sister, then this man shall pay for dishonouring our family name. Darcy: enters Elizabeth? Care to speak with me for a brief moment in time? Elizabeth: It depends if you care to speak with me for a brief moment of clarification. Darcy: Clarification? Elizabeth: I've received word from my sister, Jane, that Mister Bingley has left her. Darcy: That is quite unfortunate. Allow me to express my condolences for your sister's broken heart. Elizabeth: No, there's something else. Darcy: Oh? And what's that? Elizabeth: Did you not correspond with Mister Bingley with a letter to break his relationship with my eldest sister? Darcy: She informed you. Elizabeth: So it's true! Darcy: Now that you have spoken, allow me to speak the words of vital importance. Miss Bennet...Elizabeth...Lizzy-- Elizabeth: grits through teeth Do not push your chances. Darcy: From the start of this Race, I was drawn to your very being. It could have been the way your strong yet delicate form dispatched zombies with ease, or your strong opinions that so many find so offputting. But to me, Elizabeth, even if you are of interior birth and skills compared to mine own, you are very much the one that fates decided should be mine forever. kneels and presents a ring Elizabeth Bennet...will you marry me? Elizabeth: Aghast! Organ: DUN DUN DUN!!!! 1950's Announcer: Will Darcy hear a 'yes' from his proposal? Will Elizabeth fight him for his sister's honour? Does this look infected to you? Find out in the next leg of Avant Tai's TAR7!

XD but I managed to miss bananas like, 3 times. To AT: So, was finding that bonus word mandatory? Actually, there was absolutely no guessing on my part, I got it on my first guess. I'll upload my hot mess work sheet later. It was just process of elimination. Wu did screw me up so many times though because he didn't read all the clues. x_x

Posts: 347 (12/22/09 10:58 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	So, I'm very disappointed to be eliminated because I wanted to do at least 6 legs (half the course) but I knew I would be victim of a DEL, I don't know why. It was an intuition. But I'm happy with 9th place since I thought at the beginning I would be one of the first two out. Though I made it that far because I was lucky in the first few legs (with teams quitting or no showing up). Since it was my first race (and my first online game) it was a great experience, I really enjoyed it even if it was stressful. I loved the tasks, I loved the competition, I loved the other teams (other said it before me, it's a great cast) and I'm willing to do another race. To be honest, when I read ATTAR5, I thought it was probably boring to be one of the team but I was wrong. It's really entertaining and addictive. I made a lot of stupid mistakes during the race, such as screwing up Santanna/Brittany in the egyptian roadblock or muddling up my money at the beginning of leg 2. I was also sometimes waiting with patience for updates when I could have begun a task even if I wasn't arrived to the task at stake. The Intersection was a task I feared because I was the only newbie in this game AND I suck at tasks where you have to work with someone. So I'm kind of happy to be the one eliminated and not wakwakwak. About Ellie/Seth, I made this team without inspiration and their storyline was not that good to me. At first I thought it would be funny to have someone who is not interested in the race but it was not because I had a lot of trouble with Ellie. I didn't know what to do with her. I think I'll post a summary of Ellie/Seth's storyline before next leg. To finish, thank you to AT and thank you to other racers for helping me sometimes. I like all the teams remaining but I'm going to give my support to Megbot/Android18 because they made me laugh a lot of times and because I "intersected" with them (I don't know if "to intersect" is a verb). You don't have to worry wakwakwak you definitely not screwed me. I was the one who didn't have MSN/AIM or something like that (making it difficult to communicate) and I was the one who chose the puzzle task in the first place. Good luck to everyone, I'll definitely do another race if I can.

You've definitely put in a lot of effort for the game, kudos. Closing Confessional: Marco: leans into Darius Geez was this leg frantic. I'm super exhausted. Darius: Oh, tell me about it. By some silly idea, we randomly learn martial art skills from being near the sisters. Marco: That sounds like something from Fringe, even. Darius: Yeah, and now I'm all tied up in this awkward posture. Marco: And we were supposed to talk about our coming out, too! Darius: You were so focused on the tasks, sweetie. I didn't want to bother you, we could always talk later. Marco: 'Sweetie'? That's just wrong, I'm not your submissive bottom boy. Darius: I didn't mean that! I'd love to try both ways. twinkles Marco: lowers voice Hah, save that for somewhere private. Besides, we haven't even fucked yet. Darius: ...Technically. mischievous grin Marco: Christ, we were gagging the whole time. Gotta get used to it, it was fun though. Darius: This lack of hormonal contact is totally killing me. But you do look damn hot tied up. Marco: Screw Lady Gaga, I wish it was you dominating me right now. winks Darius: Shit, Marky, when have you become so filthy? Marco: I was repressed, I guess. But now it's all out. Darius: I dunno... I might like your repressed, angsty old self better. laughs Marco: Yeah, I gotta learn to shut up. I'm so sexual now damnit! At least we're next to each other, we can totally still kiss and eye-fuck. Darius: That we can. scrutinises Marco's frame And we've got plenty of time, no? 198 ZAR remain Last Edited By: Wuming Shi 01/03/10 07:30 AM. Edited 4 times.

Many Dutch commented on the whimsically printed tan boots and brown shirt combination.   I read this too fast and missed the whimsical point XD.

Now I just wish we'd picked the Diamond one from the start. The tasks weren't too bad today. Obviously the Puzzle needed a few more clues, but nothing on this leg sticks out as being horrible. The setting was kind of boring, though... and the tasks didn't do much to utilize the settings (we could've been fighting Zulus or something)

Posts: 13059 (12/22/09 11:58 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Okay, I just typed out a WHOLE FUCKING explanation for the puzzle, but I deleted it because the PADGE WENT BACK. So here's the abridged version(Another clue or two would've made it too easy.) 1. The person with a black shirt is a man, since two of the clues in clue 3 describe woman. So, the color distribution by gender is (Black/Brown/Blue) and (Olive/Gray). Thanks to the other clues in that...thing. 2. Tim predicted sun and did NOT wear black or brown, so he gets blue. Yay! 3. Matt can not have worn black thanks to clue 3, so John gets to wear black. Yay! That measn Matt gets brown. Yay! 4. Matt also gets the whimsical tan boots because of clue two. Yay! 5. John can not have predicted: Rain or Snow cuz of clue 1, High Winds cuz a girl gets it, and Sun cuz Tim has it. So he gets Foggy. Yay! So far we have: Tim: Blue Suit, Sun Matt: Brown, WHIMSICALLY TAN BOOTS John: Black, Orange Boots, Foggy 6. Now, we know a guy can't get white boots. Sarah has TEAL boots, so like, Karen has to get it. Yay! They are also solid and rep snow. Yay! Wait, this means Sarah has to have high winds, yay! And that means Karen gets the olive shirt since high winds and olive shirt are separate woman. Yay! This leaves Sarah with gray. Yay! Karen: Olive, White Solid, Snow Sarah: Gray, Teal, High Winds 7. This leaves Matt with rainy. Complete person! Along with Karen! 2/5 of the way! Matt: Brown, Whimsically Tan, Rainy 8. The only boots left are pink, so Tim gets faggy pink boots! Yay Sarah: Gray, Teal Boots, High Winds Tim: Blue Suit, Pink Boots, Sun John: Black, Orange Boots, Foggy 9. Now, we just have to do patterns. This is easy! A man has to be stripped, and it can't be John cuz he's black shirt guy, so Time gets stripped! Tim: Blue Suit, Stripped Pink Boots, Sun 10. Sarah can't be floral, so she's dotted and John is floral. Yay! John: Black, Floral Orange Boots, Foggy Sarah: Gray, Dotted Teal Boots, High Winds I wasted too much time typing that up for you people. Ugh. And the way I solved it during the race was way more long winded.

Posts: 348 (12/23/09 12:02 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	This is what I planned for the next legs : Leg 6 : Ellie and Seth open the suitcase and discover that Seth's father is a criminal organisation's boss. Ellie wants to write an article about it but Seth refuses. Ellies finds out at the end of the leg that Seth doesn't want her to write the article because he fear he will lose her. Leg 7 : Seth tries to help Ellie to find a new subject for her articles. The girl realizes she learnt a lot of gossips about other teams during the race and she write her first article about one of the team (I don't know which one, it would have depend on the leg). Leg 8 : Seth decides to blackmail his father to erase his debts. Ellie is followed by a stalker (a reference to redhead-lover ADC). She gets rid of him at the end of the leg but keeps his movie-camera. Leg 9 : William Burke chases Ellie & Seth during the leg because of Seth's blackmail. Ellie manages to wound him with her metal pipe (it was going to be a sort of running-gag) but William comes back with the NewCamera and Mary-Rose the monkey, who both want revenge. Seth stands up to Burke and accidentally kill him. Leg 10 : Ellie decides she wants to work for a News Channel because she looks good on TV (something she saw in the stalker's movie-camera). Seth's father learns his son killed Burk. He's happy to see his son finally became a man and he reveals Seth he's gonna be number 2 in the criminal organisation. Leg 11 : Seth and Ellie both found a new job. And to complete their success, they win AT's TAR7!!!!!! And Seth's stupid investment is that he lend one million dollars (which belonged to his father) to a guy who wanted to open hair salon for monkeys. The salon went bankrupt and Seth lost his father's money. A totally WTF storyline, maybe it's better for me to be out now Last Edited By: GauchGauch 12/23/09 04:00 AM. Edited 2 times.

Posts: 312 (12/23/09 01:42 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	So yeah, I'm recruiting for Project Banksway 4/Models of the Banksway and wanted to get the word out here. I really want to get some new faces involved this time round and a lot of you have shown through these races that you know your way round Paint/Photoshop... however if you're not one of these people, Models of the Banksway gives you the chance to be part of the season by playing one of the models. You're all good at writing skits so that's one way you can get involved if you're not up to designing. It's happening over at Paris's Pointless Board... you can, and will, sign up here.
