Okay, we're on. Dex may not be into it based on his comment, but I've got enough interest to continue, so here goes.

First things first, Dark Knight is no longer with HBB and is now with Frozen Chosen. Pack your bags and move to the other campsite, you've got to prove yourself to a new tribe.

And now for the challenge.. and let me just stress up front that THE ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT part of this challenge is that it is FUN! If it isn't fun, it doesn't belong in the games forum.

Challenge 5:

Story Thread. The basic premise. Each team starts a "story" thread. The first post explains the theme of the story, then other folks can join in and add to it, but the main theme of the story has to continue. You can choose whatever you want for the theme, it can be a serious journalistic masterpiece or it can be a witty and whimsical comedy piece, it doesn't matter. Throughout the entire thread life, there will be a vote option for each thread. Votes can be either "good" or "bad". The winner will be whoever has the highest value of the following equation:

Number of topic views + number of posts (by anybody including team members) + number of likes of individual posts within the thread + number of good votes - number of bad votes.

So, obviously we're all engineers here, and I shouldn't have to explain, but in order to be competitive at all, both teams need to keep on track with number of posts, each member of the team should obviously be liking as many of the posts in the thread as they can and voting positives for themselves and voting negatives for their competitors. Then its all about quality. If you have a really clever or funny post, that will help you, because you'll get likes from non-playing members.

Anyway, the point here is to have fun, and I'll give bonus positive votes to the thread that honors our fallen brother the most.

Do we have a time frame?

This game is dead, it just never really got off the ground. Challenge 4 was by far the best, but even that didn't really take off like I was hoping. It is what it is, I'm just going to try to come up with a better game. Eventually, something will soar like the 10k threads and the horse is to stable. I think less complex = better.
