So, let's take a look. The code words were all very simple Tin, for Kit's tits kick ticks Argon, for R. Silver, for Resemblance Krypton, for Violent BUN Fortuna I think now would be a good time to note that Bun had the amazing forsight to also include Roxy's word in her theory, which was fortunate. But what did people guess? Well, 2 points for Roxy at least. Hallo, my guesses for the secret words are as follows: Semblance: silver Roxy222: argon Anka: tin 3/3 for Bunny Now, what did Semblance have to say? I believe Roxy's is argon, Violent Bun Fortuna's is nitrogen, and Anka's is tim. You may only make 1 guess for each contestants word. You may only make 1 guess So yeah. That's a shame. In fairness, he did try to correct himself straight away. but rules are rules, i'm afraid, so just the 1 point for Semblance. And last but not least. My guesses are: Semblance: silver Roxy: argon Violetbunfortunate: krypton so, 3/3 for Kit's tits kick ticks as well. So everybodys word was guessed by somebody, so nobody gets the bonus 5 points. Time for a leader board update! Semblance - 6 points Roxy - 7 points Anka - 8 points Violetbunfortunate - 9 points

The cinematic slow zoom on tim was peak comedy, absolutely brilliant. This game is 100% worth it.

There now follows an intermission between tasks, with Task #4 starting in approximately 22 hours time. The next task will be a Team Task, however. This will involve you working in partnership with another contestant, and you will both receive equal amounts of points for your joint effort. Our two teams are Kit's tits kick ticks & R.Resemblance & Violent BUN FortunaI would suggest you use this time to get to know one another and form battle tactics.

I wonder how they can make tactics if they don't know the challenge they will face... I think this is a kind of fog war, where you need to make tactics without seeing what's coming from the opposing side. In any case, cooperative activities often involve good communication between team members and a good deal of mutual trust, which I think pairs can start to develop.

This is really an interesting task, which should test the teamwork of competitors. It may seem that the team that has more natural born artists has more advantage, on the other hand, I've worked with natural born artists and in general working as a team with them is usually difficult. Especially when you're on a tight deadline, in general the ability to be satisfied with simple things can make the difference between delivering reasonably good work or not delivering any work at all. Also, born artists are more prone to schisms... I hope everyone will be okay.

Well, in a disappointing turn of events, only 1 team has taken part in the task. Dear Taskmaster We are pleased to present our efforts for Task #4. We agreed on two pieces of marketing: a short story by Semblance, and an advertisement drawn by me. Semblance will be sending over his story, so in the meantime, here is the advertisement I created. It is based, obviously, on the opening lines from TBB, and on the 'Dear Reader' blurbs, which Semblance and I agreed would lend themselves well to a marketing campaign for 667. The QR code links straight to 667's home page. I thought it would be a good idea to leave this out in the real world for people to discover, because it seemed like it would be a fun and unexpected thing to discover and it might grab people's attention more than if it just showed up in their twitter feed or somewhere else where they might just scroll quickly past it. So, I pinned it to a telegraph pole. I chose a somewhat burned, blackened looking telegraph pole, as that seemed appropriate. Hello Mister M, it's Semblance. I created a short story from the perspective of a recent 667er. I walk into the famous building, 667 Dark Avenue. I recently joined the online forum, and even more recently got informed of the building's location. The information was sent by the Building Administrator, Sherry Ann, she was very nice to talk with. Allegedly, she was also a stalker. Looking around, I noticed a guy with a paper bag looking at me, his name is Mr. Jeh Ann. I suspect he was theorizing that I am Jim Carrey or Neil Patrick Harris. Someone who was sitting on a couch walked over to me, "What books do you like?" "I like-" you said, before he cut you off. "That's a bad book, you should read this one," he said, shoving a book in your hands. I realized this must've been "bear", a rather infamous member. I walked away from the lobby, and made my way to the main room. A particular member complained about losing his way, but I navigated it quite well. The main room was buzzing like a bee, I knew the place was getting a lot of activity lately, but I didn't expect this. On the floor sat a particular member who may or may not go by Otto, and a girl who reminded you of Moxie, they seemed to be playing cards. I saw many interesting people, doing many interesting things in the main room. The best word I could use to describe 667 Dark Avenue, would be arbitrary. I was planning on posting this to the Lemony Snicket wiki, but thought it wouldn't gain a lot of attention in the short time we have left. Thr goal was the reader would find the 667 community to be a fun place to join. Rest Pleasantly. So Semblance and Bun receive a full 5 points for their valiant efforts. Leader Board Update
Roxy - 7 points Anka - 8 points Semblance - 11 points Violetbunfortunate - 14 points The final task will be posted shortly

And so, our final results. First, we have ResemblanceHere is mycosplay of Count Olaf as Kit Snicket: well, that's certainly......striking. Then, we have Violent BUN FortunaHallo! Honestly, I know this is a poor attempt. I will say in my defence I had little time ... and no sailor's cap. But there we are. Here is my attempt at Captain Sham, completed in about 10 minutes. Eyepatch, vaguely nautical coat, and wooden leg. Sorry about the lack of a blue hat, it couldn't be helped. Anyway, thanks for organising all this, it's been fun! Flattery will get you nowhere. R. will also be getting nowhere, as she's yet again failed to do anything. Last but not least we have Kit's tits kick ticksI disguised myself as Coach Genghis. I don't know why my hand is the same colour as my bright red trainers. Scores & Results will follow imminently.

Roxy receives no points.
Violet contributed a good effort, but not the most book/screen accurate - 2 points Anka's red hands could be considered to be representative of Olad's bloodthirsty nature, and as such she gets - 3 points Semblance's effort, however, made me actually 'laugh out loud', so gets 5 points
My judgement has lead to an interesting scoreboard.
Roxy - 7 points Anka - 11 points Semblance - 16 points Violetbunfortunate - 16 points.
As such, we will now participate in a
TIEBREAK TASK
Details to follow shortly

TIEBREAK TASK - for Violent BUN Fortuna and ResemblanceI have randomly drawn a card from (you guessed it) a deck of cards. PM me your guess of what card I have chosen. If one of you correctly guesses the suit, you will win the task. If both or neither of you guess the suit, then the closest to the number will win.

I have no words to describe how funny this is. Maybe: "this is really quite funny". Thanks for that, all of you who participated.
