It doesn't matter. Your seconds digits will be the same regardless of which clock. Besides, if I chose minutes or hours, you guys could manipulate that pretty easily. With seconds, it's random chance.

Did I get the spot?

IMO, best HIR characters are HCI, Zip Toad, Count Keesae, Kardonis, Dr. Grodus and Antasom.

Hell yes.

Aaahh, I fell asleep typing my answers and now they're really late.. Fingers crossed they're still accepted. ;u;

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to sleep now. xD

^ Before you sleep, my estimation is you have about a good hour before results are due.

Results will be delayed until tomorrow (Saturday) due to excessive fatigue, and to align the times better for my weekend. If you haven't sent anything, you've got an extension... not that it matters at this point, we already have the 3 winners. <.<;

As you can see, most of you were able to correctly deduce that you needed a combination of 5 "Over" and 5 "Under" answers. But, as I said at the start of the challenge, the first 3 players to get the top scores would win. Therefore...

This day's winners are... DragonCamo, weebbby, and Seiki!
They have acquired immunity for Night 3. In addition, the winner of the apple picking contest will be notified of their reward via PM.

*headdesk*

*shoves 30 apples into mouth*

BG Music

"So, we're going to jump across these stepping stones, right?" weebbby asks.

"You know it!" kardonis cheers. "I just hope you've got some good footwork." kardonis takes a running start and leaps toward the first stone, only to overshoot it completely and land in the river. A pair of Blippers pop up and toss him back on the river's edge. "Aww, that's no good." He sighs.

"Let me try." somePerson demands, nimbly leaping toward the first rock. Another Blipper leaps out of the water and slams into him, knocking him back to the ground and causing him to face plant into the dirt.

"Gee, those fish are really mean." Willster notes.

"We've just got to outsmart them." Seiki encourages. He notices a pair of Sparkys jumping up and down happily. "DC, you with me?" DragonCamo looks over at them and smiles devilishly. The duo approach the Sparkys and grab them from behind. The Sparkys eyes widen in panic, and they prepare to shock their captors. But before they can, Seiki and DC toss them into the river. The resulting electrical shock fries the river. A couple of seconds later, Blippers float to the surface of the water, twitching with electricity. Seiki and DC then happily skip across. Weebbby immediately follows suit, along with the rest of the group.

Morris runs up to the note hammered into the tree and snatches it up. He gives it a stern look. "Well, what does it say?" Ash asks impatiently.

"It says..." Morris begins, as he proceeds to read out the contents of the note.

BG Music

Greetings players,

I take it that by now you've realized how this game is working. I'm sure that with this new found knowledge that you are quite... hesitant to keep up your participation in this little event. But fear not, noble players. For the Great Count Keesae is merciful. You see, though it appears that losing this event will have some... deathly consequences, this is merely for the sake of entertainment.

All I wish to do is see whether good or evil will triumph. Nothing more. As soon as this contest has its winner and my thirst for knowledge had been quenched I shall reset everything and make it as if none of this every happened. This is just another great example of how wonderful and selfless I, Count Keesae, can be. So, be sure to give it your all!

Warm regards,
The Great & Powerful Count Keesae

"Oh, well isn't that a relief?" I-Brawler squeaks.

"Don't relax... we're not out of the woods yet." Troll Slug quips. He points in front of them to a rather large tree that looks like it's about to topple over. The tree is so massive that it completely blocks their path forward.

"How are we going to get around that?" Angel gasps.

"Maybe we're meant to cut it down?" CG ponders aloud. Suddenly, the tree lurches, handing over the group. Its leaves rustle, and pieces of paper fall to the ground. "Or it's going to crush whoever we vote for."

"Hmph, how cliché." somePerson scoffs.

It is now Night 3!
It's time to eliminate someone! You will submit your vote via PM. If you do not send in a vote, you will automatically be placed in the "Not Voting" option. If more than half of the players are in Not Voting, the players that did vote will eliminate someone who is under Not Voting. In the event of a tie, the 1st place winner from today's challenge (DragonCamo) will break the tie. You've got 21 hours.

Additionally, if you have an ability you want to use, you should include all the necessary info that relates to your ability in the PM as well. Good luck!

Meanwhile...

BG Music

The relatively empty room is rather dimly lit, obscuring the large figure intently watching a holographic television screen. A pair of Waddle Dees are facing the figure. One has on a pair of thin glasses and clip-on tie and is carrying a clipboard and pencil. The other Waddle Dee is wearing a hard hat.

The monitor shows an image of a strange, glowing fountain. Bright, colorful water appears to be flowing from it. At the apex of the fountain sits a small, striped cylindrical rod topped by a glowing star. Surrounding the fountain is a multicolored energy shield. The screen shot shifts to a large, electric drill manned by a Waddle Dee. It's pressing up against the energy shield. The shot shifts again to another image of several Waddle Dees running along treadmills. The treadmills are powering construction cranes lifting large slabs of marble up toward a forming wall.

"As you can see," The glasses-wearing Waddle Dee states, "Production is running 2 weeks ahead of schedule." He pulls his clipboard in front of him and nudges his glasses. "With this progress, we believe we'll only require 65% of the original calculated timetable necessary to complete the construction. This means that we can have a time conservation element of 35%, which I believe should make you 150% more happy!"

"That's good to hear, Mr. Director." The figure states.

"Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but the drilling sequence is still taking awhile." The helmet-wearing Waddle Dee interjects.

"What's the issue, Mr. Foreman?" The figure asks, an unpleasant tone ringing in his mechanical voice.

"I don't know what the issue is, sir." Mr. Foreman responds. "That weird energy barrier is more resilient than we thought."

"Actually, I estimate that it is about 47.5% more durable than we had previously calculated." Mr. Director interrupts. "With the drill outputting at a 95% energy conversion ratio, we would either need at least 5 more drills, or a 500% increase in power to the drill we have." He looks down at his clipboard. "But I'm not sure the drill can handle that much energy."

"Perhaps," The figure acknowledges. "But let's try it anyway."

"Sir?" Mr. Director stammers.

"It would take too much time to acquire the other drills. I like the first idea more." The figure states. The two Waddle Dees salute and exit the room. The figure turns toward a Big Waddle Doo standing by a glowing teleporter.

"Bwuh huh huh huh! Is it time for the THE DOO to go out a wreck some fools yet?" The Big Waddle Doo shouts, causing the figure to flinch.

"No, no, no." The figure sighs. "We don't want to get rid of them that quickly. We need them to stay as uninformed as possible." The figure pauses and then raises a hand and taps its cranium. "Send the Water Galboros after them."

"But he's a wussy. He doesn't have the raw manliness that THE DOO has coursing through his veins!" The Doo protests.

"That's not of my concern." The figure states, dismissing the Doo with a wave of his hand. The Doo slumps in defeat and exits the room. The figure then turns back to the holographic screen.

The players stare at each other in confusion. "How are we supposed to give our votes to a tree?" ShadowMew wonders.

"Maybe we're supposed to plant them into the ground and they'll grow into, like, a vote flower or something?" GoldenCamo suggests.

"That's the stupidest thing I ever heard." somePerson scoffs.

"You can't remember anything you heard before you started this game." Angel points out.

"Yeah, well neither can you." somePerson retorts. "Let's just throw them at the tree."

"You can't throw a piece of paper that well." Bionicle reminds. "It'll just drift to the ground." The group hears the rustling of nearby bushes. A Waddle Dee wearing a lumberjack hat and wielding an axe pops out from the bush.

"D'awwwwww, it's so adorable!" Cynderluv squees. "Hey there little guy, what are you doing out here?" The Waddle Dee scurries toward the group and snatches up all their votes. "Oh my... he's fast." Cynderluv gasps. The Waddle Dee dashes over to the tree and skims through the stack of votes. He looks over at the players, and fixes his gaze on MrLOL.

"Huh? What's the problem?" MrLOL asks, tilting his head in confusion. The Waddle Dee produces a small white ball with a red exclamation mark and hurls it at MrLOL. It strikes him in the head and suddenly a pitfall appears under him. "Aww crud..." He grumbles before falling into it. He becomes stuck, so only his head and upper body are outside the ground. The Waddle Dee turns and chops at the tree with its axe. The tree falls toward the group. Everyone quickly scatters except for MrLOL, who struggles, before letting out an anguished scream. It's cut short as the tree crushes him. The Waddle Dee jumps up and down enthusiastically and then scurries off.

"That looked painful." Will remarks.

"Wait, did you change your name?" Willster asks, glaring suspiciously. "Because I'm NOT okay with this." eruptshake approaches the down tree, and finds a red neckerchief sticking out of it.

"Huh, I guess MrLOL was some sort of hippie-dippie art student. How else could you explain such a tacky scarf?" eruptshake notes.

"You're wrong. He was totally a hipster." Ninpire dismisses with a casual flick of his hand.

"In any event, let's not dwell on it too long." BrutalBash interjects. "Besides, another portal's appeared, so it's time to move on."

With a mere 3 votes, MrLOL has been eliminated from the game!
He was Taranza, GOOD Arachnid Sorcerer!
The EVIL players are now winning!

Sorry kardonis I used RNG.
Also, I was second in terms of votes
Is it because I'm doing so good???

For those players who have been eliminated, don't go too far. Your participation will be needed in upcoming challenges. You'll have opportunities for revenge on the players who voted you out! ^.^

Also, I need a replacement for Cynderfan507. PM me if interested. On with the update!

Another bright portal deposits the group in the midst of a vast, arid desert. Hot, steaming sands blows about in the desert breezes. Off toward the horizon, geysers of sand shoot up out of the ground. kardonis immediately starts jumping up and down and grunting painfully. "Where's the fire, chief?" Morris snickers.

"On the sand!" kardonis yelps. "I-It's so hot it's burning my tootsies."

"Who calls their feet 'tootsies?'" CG interjects.

"Sissies and ninnies." Dark Lord answers. "So stop hopping around like a pogo stick, kard. You look like a little kid who's had too much sugar."

"Mmmm... I could sure go for some sugar right now." Prex mumbles.

"So what are we supposed to be doing here in the desert anyway?" Blazier asks, looking out over the sprawling sea of sand. He looks over and sees Ninpire and Rickorio walking toward several ancient-looking pillars jutting out of the sand. Blazier squints hard and notices some yellow bulges sticking out from the pillars. "Wait... WATCH OUT!" Blaizer shouts. Ninpire and Rickorio pause and look back toward the group, before one of the yellow bulges shoots out from behind the pillar, revealing a large, Pac-Man shaped creature with an eye on its side and a jagged, fang-filled mouth. It lunges toward the two players and they jump back in fright. The creature, Pacto, slams its mouth shut, barely missing Ninpire and Rickorio.

"Yowza! That was close." Ninpire gasps.

"I think I just figured out our obstacle for the desert." Shake pipes up.

It is now Day 4!
Welcome to Level 4: Raisin Ruins!
A hot and sandy desert sure to bake you like a... grape that's being left in the sun. I guess that's why it's "Raisin Ruins." The desert is very dry so you need to stay hydrated. Sometime over the course of the day, you must post some variation of "I'm taking a drink," in this topic. If you don't, you will get dehydrated, and have to sit out the Night Phase.

Today's challenge is... Hot Footing Through the Desert!
Below are six questions. To participate in the challenge, you must answer at least 3 of them. The single player with the most correct answers will win immunity, provided they stay hydrated! Here's the catch. The player who submits the LAST incorrect answer will be given 5 automatic votes for Night 4. So you need to determine carefully which questions you want to answer, and how quickly you want to answer them. In addition, any players who are disqualified will also get 5 votes for Night 4. As a result of the lightning storm, your time for this challenge has been cut down to 19 hours.
