Well gents, it's down to three.





And what a threesome it is! You guys have made it right up to the very end! You are gods amongst men!


And as we all know, gods must have their myths and legends.


So boys, it's time to get writing!





Your task, and you have no choice but to accept it, is very simple, yet startling in its layers of complexity!


Write your memories of your time in the BB House.


It can be in any style, with or without pictures, serious, comedic...anything you like! Include quotes from other housemates, screencaps...but make sure the main content is yours.

Create your own threads - which includes the Title of your piece - and write, hell-for-leather, until you are done.






You have until 12am Wednesday Board Time to complete your entries, but work fast!





Don't make us hurt you...



Yours in anticipation of Naked Thursday,

[SS]

Normally this would be right up my alley but I doubt I'll have the time today. sad *sigh* I'll try.

I'm gonna raise my own doubts about this too. Although I appreicate the small window the game is now operating under (although there did seem to be an awfully long gap between the deadline for our submissions in the advert task and them actually being posted in the JCC), I am out most of the evening, and don't get back from work until 6.30pm. The deadline for this one is 8am tomorrow morning my time, and I will be sleeping from midnight onwards. This would give me between 11pm and midnight tonight to do the task, by which point I'll be very tired.

Thus, in conclusion, therefore... I have my doubts.

Just try your best guys - if we have to extend the deadline so that you have an extra hour or so, we will.

In many ways it's a great shame that all this has had to be squeezed into such a short period of time. We had a week to complete tasks early on that didn't require much thought at all. Now, at the end, when it wold be nice to get a good amount of time to put something really good together, we find ourselves compressed awkwardly. I may have just 45 bleary-eyed minutes to complete what, on paper, should be one of the funnest tasks of the game. And it's not as if an hour or two would save me. Due to time zones, I'd need a whole other day to work it out satisfactorily.

It's nobody's fault (except perhaps epic's) - as getting down from six players to one in the space of a week is hardly an enviable task - but it is a shame.

Your Big Sisters agree on that point - we were trying to work it all out today, with highly colourful language and timetables.

But we have a deadline.

How much time, given that we have until the end of this week, would you ideally like?



Not saying it can happen, but I can...'take it under advisement' wink

SS,

I can't speak for Chris, but I don't think anybody's really asking for more time. We're just identifying the extent of the challenge to execute the task and lamenting the realities of the situation. In other words, we're bitching.

Of course we'll do our best. That last task was a huge bear for me given my lack of photoshop skills and the time I had available. Same thing here. We realize you have to end this thing on Friday and you need to get us down to two between now and then.

From my end, you'll get no specific requests other than to smile and nod while I whine and then crack the whip near the end. wink

Love ya lots,

Brian

I didn't say I'd have a quality product, just a product. tongue

Yeah, I don't think anybody's expecting War and Peace, which out of everyone in the entire world, only Souderwan has finished anyway. tongue

The "write your memories of BB" thing has apparently been used in all BB's past, and when I skimmed a couple of old entries in the closed forums area, it looks like most people wrote around 3 paragraphs. If you want, you can write only, "Roses are red, violets are blue, All my base/ Are belong to you." Whatever you like. JCC is a tl;dr kind of place anyway. They might prefer a cute one-liner over pages of insightful text anyway.

In fact, I know they'd prefer a cute one-liner over pages of insightful text. tongue

It's not missing out on writing insightful text that bothers me, and yeah I could easily knock of a few paragraphs... but the potential was there for something that's both substantial and lol. Pity the end.

Additionally, I'd like to think that our efforts at tasks in this BB have far exceeded the efforts of those in previous BB's. wink

Intruder alert!

I think if we need to extend the end of the game by a day or two, it won't matter that much. Everyone's tired, and working hard here at the end. It's up to Ophie and Pulse.
