I think it's time for me to have a go at this... maybe.

[crossrhythm]

Attention all who doth practice the art of dueling in nonsense! I, crossrhythm, guardian of blatherskyte, do hereby pronounce my willingness to participate in this fine exercise of lunacy. I haven't read the official rules in some time, so I may or may not be following the official procedure for this action, but if not, those who know the correct manner in which to do so may instruct me in the correct approach. Nor do I know with whom I would duel, as all of the parties who seem interested in dueling are already involved in duels. I don't know if it is legal to be involved in more than 1 duel or not. If not, I shall merely wait patiently for someone to take up my proposition. That is all. Farewell from the self-proclaimed guardian of blatherskyte.

[butterfly]

You could duel with Vinnie...oh wait, he's dueling with Scarecrow...or Sir Shaun? Err, he sort of is Scarecrow....or there's Jason....but he's dueling with Flannel or Flan.... no, no that won't work....hmm....This board needs more members! You could duel with me! Hehe, I'm just kidding, I think....There's so many rules though, I'm sure I'd forget them all. (I'm probably breaking one right now.) I don't know, what do you think?

[crossrhythm]

I'm sure I haven't the faintest of ideas. This is just one of those moments that you'll have to figure out on your own. Am I helpful or what?

[Flannel Avenger]

The Following are available for dueling at this time:

Sir Shaun
Sir Vincent
Lady Liz
3/4 console Jason


that's all I can think of right now.

[Vinnie]

You may not know it but we had at least a 3 way duel in the past. Living Catalyst was in it and so was I. It was most awesome. Scarecrow and I are dueling for title of board champion so it might not be proper for you to jump in there. You may under the permission of the supreme chancellor, be able to jump in Flannel and Orpheus's duel. I do believe one can be in more duels than one so I have a proposition:

I suggest we have a five way duel. Scarecrow, Orpheus42, FLannel, Reed and the Tyrant.

Any takers? This would not pause our other duels though. Someone may ask for an extension of time however because of they are in two duels at once.

I think it goes like this:

Your challenge must trap everyone and everyone must escape. The first one to escape gets to issue the next challenge.

Say you are trapped in a pit and someone escapes one way, the next person cannot use your escape. Each escape must be original. Everyone has 7 days to escape the finitial challenge and the first one to escape has seven to days in which to issue a challenge once everyone escapes or the last person throws in the towel...


Since I think Reed will accept this, I, the Tyrant appoint Butterfly as my advisor.

You need to appoint an advisor Reed if you accept Reed.

Any other people are welcome to duel if they like.

Who dares get in the dueling royal rumble?

I think the winner of this shoul be next in line for a shot at board champion? I currently am dueling scarecrow for the right of board champion.

I think it is fair that Reed should be given the first option of issuing a challenge to all competitors. Should he accept it once all challenegers are known he may issue it if he chooses to participate.

[crossrhythm]

Sounds like a plan to me. Since those who are best at dueling are probably going to be involved in this duel, I'm not sure who to name as an advisor. Is it legal to enlist one of the other participants or one of their various other personalities? If not, I may be forced to rely on my own ability to escape the challenge. Also, just to be clear, everyone, including the person who makes the challenge, must escape it, correct? Once I am informed of all of these details, I will issue my challenge, and I may or may not name an advisor. That is all.

[Katie_543]

That sounds fun. I don't think I'd be good to actually get into the deuling, though. Maybe if I had been here longer I could be your advisor, crossrhythm. ;)

[Vinnie]

Hey, no the one who issues the challenge need not escape it.

Your advisor can be anyone you want.

I took Butterfly and I'm not sure how much she will actually help me in dueling. I chose her merely to get some flutterbies back in Tyrantville ;)

You might want to wait a few days to give others a chance to join before issuing. You can issue it but we won't allow offical escapes until Monday. I think thats when Shaun comes and can make everything official.

Looks like we got a duel going.....

[crossrhythm]

Very well. As it might not be wise to name the tyrant as my advisor, since he is a tyrant after all and might give me detrimental advice, I hereby appoint Sir Vincent as my advisor. This will not only ensure that I get sound advice, but also, since he and the tyrant are the same person, this means that if I take his advice, then he will have to think of another escape for himself. Down with tyranny! I shall wait until the duel is declared official to post my challenge. I'm glad I don't have to escape it!

[Vinnie]

oooo, nice strategy... ;)

and i shall escape your challenge with ease :p

[Vinnie]

"woo-hoo these things just confuse me"

I think that means we are doing it right then :eek:

[Flannel Avenger]

Far be it from me to back down from a challenge!

Lets-a Go!

[butterfly]

erm...what does an advisor do? Anyways Vinnie, technically there won't be flutterbies back in tyrantville as only I shall be coming, so that negates the plurality of the noun. Therefore, there will simply be a flutterby back in Tyrantville. :angel:

[bigkat]

I still don't understand. And it sounds like it will be 5 times as confusing now...

[butterfly]

LOL, I don't get it either bigkat. You don't need to get it though, you just need to make everyone else not only think you get it but think you understand it better than they do! Smiling and nodding is a good strategy. ;)

[bigkat]

Ah yes! It's all so clear now! I compeletly understand the 5 way IHOP 3/4 Flutter-Lady Tyranna-Rhythm. It makes PERFECT sense!

[butterfly]

*nods in approval* That's the spirit bigkat! :)

[butterfly]

If thou woulds't permitteth, I would liketh to pointeth outeth a possible flaw in said dueling plan. It has been said that the first person that doth escapeth winneth the right to post the next challenge. However, there are those involved in the duel that doth post much more frequently than other members *cough*flannel*cough* and as such mighteth win all challenges simply because he doth escapeth first. (Alright I'm making absolutely no sense so I give up. No more attempts at old English for me!) Anyways, Perhaps a minimum time ought to be established so as to give all participants in the duel a fair chance, say no one can post an escape until at least 24 hours after the challenge is issued. Or, maybe all participants should be required to announce their presence in the thread before anyone is allowed to escape...or something like that. Also, what would happen if two people post their escapes at the same time? Anyways, those were just some concerns I had. Feel free to do what you wish with them! Happy dueling to you all!
your friend in Christ,
Cath :)

[Katie_543]

Good point there. Maybe there should be a referee who decides which escape is the most creative, or something.

[Flannel Avenger]

The first to escape only gets to make the next challenge, it does not mean that all the others fail. And I have to deal with Flood Control, unlike the Tyrant!

And getting out as the number of possible escape routes diminishes is part of the challenge.

[Vinnie]

Flood what? :confused:

[Flannel Avenger]

exactly.

[Vinnie]

What?

[Flannel Avenger]

He keeps making my point.

[Vinnie]

Who?

[Vinnie]

What are you talking about?

[Sir Shaun]

This is the ruling of the Supreme Chancellor.

This multi way duel shall be permited but under some special circumstances. Yes Vincent the old system did work of allowing the first to escape to issue the next challenge however It is my belief this will no longer function properly due to unsteated reasons which shall remain unstated untill such a time as I see fit to post the which most likely will be never.

Here are the additional rules for this challenge.
Section 5 rules regarding tournaments amongst duelers:
5.1 All of the rules for dueling for right of championship must be obeyed here.
5.2 The winner of this duel is to be given the right to be next to challenge the current board champion pending the completion of the duel.
5.3.1 Upon the initial challenge being posted all parties involved must escape the challenge except for the party whom issued the challenge.
5.3.2 Should any party fail to escape within the seven day limit they shall be banned from the remainder of the tournament.
5.4 Any third or fourth or infinite party may enter the duel at any given point under the tradition set forth in the first tournament of duelers, pending the fact that they must first issue there intent and escape all previous challenges up to the point where they enter the tournament in oreder of their posting.
5.5.1 In special cases as this there shall be a seperate judge appointed.
5.5.2 The moderator as acting judge in duel of championship shall not be judge of the tournament in order to allow them the time needed to accurately judge the current duels under their jurisdiction.
5.5.3 Rather the judge for the tournament shall be a member of the International High Consolate of Champions since this is a prestigous tournament and very much within the realm of nonsense.
5.5.4.1 The first judge shall be the current Supreme Chancellor as no other member of the High Consolate is more perstigous than he or she.
5.5.4.2 Should the Supreme Chancellor be to involved in other matter he or she may indeed appoint a interem judge to fill in untill such a time as he or she may return.
5.6 Upon all members escapeing the challenge or the time limit expiring whichever comes first the judge shall review the escapes and based on his or her knowlegde of nonsense shall issue a declaration of whom recieves the prize of right to issue the next challenge.

These are the rules for this tournament.
It shall begin as soon as this post is posted.

So let it be posted so let it be done.

Signed,
Sir Shaun
Supreme Chancellor to the IHCofC

Let the tournament begin...

[Vinnie]

c'mon Reed ;)

[The Scarecrow]

I must regretfully decline entering this tournament.

The reason is as follows.
If I were to enter there is a chance I would win which means I would be next in line to challenge myself and I know I could never defeat myself in a challenge so the duel would never win and I would remain champion forever and nobody would be allowed to challenge me.

Because of this I decline to enter this tournament.

Signed,
The Scarecrow

let it be known a lesser champion would have entered to garuntee their reign as champion for all eternity...

[crossrhythm]

*Drum roll* Ladies and gentlemen, it would appear that this duel is to begin, though there are apparently only going to be 3 participants instead of 5. So, upon being requested to do so, here is my challenge.

You have been captured by a mad and incredibly unethical scientist who performs experiments on brain transplants. As this practice seems somewhat twisted, the scientist has had to establish his lab in a remote village where nobody will bother him. The inhabitants of this village are primitive in the extreme, and they marvel at this scientist who is able to dazzle them with all of this modern technology. In fact, some begin to consider him to be a deity. Because of this, they do whatever he asks. So, he has begun to experiment on the inhabitants. However, to keep the villagers from realizing what he is doing, he has needed to search far and wide for some people who look very similar to the villagers whom he has begun to experiment on. Unfortunately for you, you turn out to be just such a double. So, you have now been captured by this scientist. He first gives you a drug that forever erases the memory of being captured and taken to this laboratory. As a result, you know not where it is located, and for that matter, you don't know where you are, as no one has ever noticed this village before because of its remote location. Anyway, the scientist has now removed your brain and replaced it with that of the villager whom you resemble. He has figured out how to handle all complications, and the transplant is a complete success. However, he is now very hungry, so he decides to wait and transplant your brain into the villager until after lunch. So, he takes your brain to a secret underground location and he places it in a jar that is connected to a machine that will keep it alive for seven days. Of course, he doesn't think he will need to store it there that long as he plans to perform the surgery right after lunch. If he does not, the villager will die.

So anyway, right in the middle of his meal, some angry villagers come pounding on his door. They have heard the most terrifying screams coming from this lab, and they have come to investigate. They bust in and see their comrade laying motionless and connected to various machines which are keeping him alive. Just then, you emerge from the other room. Of course since you look like this villager and now even have his brain, they think that you are he, as do you for that matter. They thus conclude that the original villager is some sort of monster that the scientist was attempting to create. Enraged, they kill both him and the scientist and utterly destroy his entire laboratory.

So, this is the situation you find yourself in. You are stranded in this village, but of course you don't know this, as you have this other fellow's brain and thus think you have lived here your entire life. As a result, you go right back to your normal life. You are an excellent warrior, hunter, and fisherman, and you have a fine family. Of course, you do not realize that you are not really this villager. Thus, you don't know that this is a challenge to escape. You've never heard of duels of nonsense or computers for that matter, and you would have no idea what to do even if you did. You have no reason to think anything is out of the ordinary, as this villager had been given the drug as well and thus doesn't remember what the scientist did to him either. Of course, your brain with all the memories of your true identity is safe in the underground location with enough nutrients to keep it alive for seven days. However, you know nothing of this, and even if you did, you wouldn't know how to get there as the scientist was the only one who knew where it was. Not to mention that this scientist was the only person in the entire world who knew how to perform the necessary surgery to retransplant your brain. So, your challenge is to somehow escape the village and get your brain replaced back in your skull so you will know who you are. You must then, of course, come back here as yourself and post your escape. However, as I mentioned, as a primitive villager who has no reason to suspect that you are not who you appear, you don't even know that you need to escape. So, I don't know how you'll do this, but you'd better do it within seven days, or your brain will run out of nutrients, and you will be trapped as a member of this village forever; not that you'll mind much, since that's exactly what you think you already are. You have only the tools that an ordinary member of this village would have, such as primitive weapons like spears and such. Have fun, and as I said, I'm glad I don't have to escape it.

[Flannel Avenger]

First, I declare my advisor for this Duel to be Optimus Prime, the tractor trailer one.

Ok, very well. So it's my body with a villagers brain.

Upon going back to work, the villager realizes that he is chafing rather painfully from his leather clothes as I am accustomed to Flannel garments. Realizing that he never had this problem before he woke up in the Mad Scientists lair, he goes back to investigate and stumbles upon the secret lab. Upon entering the secret lab, he is in such close proximity to me that I am able to sieze control of my body even though his brain is inside. Now, I know what a computer is and how to operate the advanced technology, so I very cleverly use the equipment in the lab to contact my Secret Lair, which relays a message to Optimus Prime, who informs me the mechanics of a brain transplant, as cybertronians are more advanced than earthlings. Using this knowlege, I use my remote control of myself to perform the procedure on myself. I feel no pain as I am not in my body yet. Upon finishing the procedure, I ask for Optimus to send an android body for the poor villager that will work exactly as his body did before the villagers killed him.

I then left and traveled back here to tell you, as I was able to use the mad scientist computer to establish a link to my computer and triangulate my position.

[crossrhythm]

A valiant attempt, but unfortunately, that's all it is. If you will recall, I said that the villagers entirely destroyed the laboratory. The building and its equipment are only so much rubble. Only the separate location that houses your brain and the machine keeping it alive remains, as nobody knows it exists and thus didn't destroy it. Try again good sir.

[Flannel Avenger]

<insert grumbling here>

Allright then...

The villager in possesion of my body is chafing and goes in search of the reason. Inadvertantly, he passes near enough to ware my brain is being stored that I am able to sieze control of my body and sense its location relative to my location. Hooking into the visual data from my body, I am able to guide it to me. I then jury rig the equipment keeping the Tyrant's brain alive into a transmiter and contact Optimus Prime who explains to me how the brian transplant works. I transplant my brain back into my body, get the poor villager the android body, then using my connection, find my way back here to tell you.

[Vinnie]

Sweet challenge. I still don't see how you escaped Flannel? I shall escape tomorrow.

[Flannel Avenger]

I haven't heard any complaints.

[Vinnie]

time check

[Vinnie]

The guy in my body (which I will sometimes refer to in the first person) resumed his daily life of fishing and hunting and tending to the family. That very same day the village divided itself in was and the primitive villagers fought each other fiercely. They had a weird moral code. If a person killed someone on one side, in revenge they'd kill three on the other side. If a man got into a fight and hurt a man, they'd kill 2 of the villagers on the other side. A little white dove revealed something to me which the man in my body passed to the villagers. It was "an eye for an eye." Replacing a more primitive ideaology this helped save many lives the first day. Then another little bird of possibly the same one visited me that night and revealed to me "Love thy neighbor as thyself." I told this to the villagers and the fighting ceased. There was much happiness and they decided to make me tribe leader. That night I had nightmares about the vision of myself in the labrotary and I awoke wondering. I noticed a few things that night, my body was missing a few scars and birthmarks in certain places. The horrified vision of myself in that lab haunted me. I immediately went to the unethical scientists hut which had been blocked off. In there I found a few logs and books and a floppy disk and a map. There was also a laptop computer but I knew not what it was. In the books and logs I saw pictures of men and wierd things being done which reminded me of the horrific memories of the lab. I at once took the stuff and bid my family and the village well for I set off to find out what happened.

I traveled very swiftly but deep into the woods but part of a pack of wolves attacked me. I nailed one with my spear and two with daggers. Then using my sword I gutted 4 of them. The others kept their distance after seeing this but I could hear howling echoing through the forest and it was growing louder. I took flight and ran and ran and ran. I was deeper than any villager had ever gone before. I came to a cliff about 50 feet in height and the wolves were closing in. I was surrounded and cut off. I killed 8 more wolves with my sword but I had to throw my sword at the ninth as two attacked me at once. I nailed the first and fought off the other with my bear hands but with no weapon I was no match for the rest so I plunged off the cliiff into the not yet mentioned river below. I travelled far down the river. Very far I went. I finally made it to a river bank after I not how long. There, exhausted I fell asleep.

I found myself awakening as I was being carried into a castle by foul and smelly green creatures. I leaped out of the what I found out to be an orc's graps and said "Get back!" Strangely enough they all went back. After that I had a little fun and made them stand on one leg and boq like a chicken. They were scratching their heads.

Well, I continued by myself through the castle and a beautiful woman greeted me as if she knew me and she Kept calling me Vinnie and the Tyrant. Well, I told her the whole story and how my body was missing scars and stuff and Liz told me about the Tyrant and duels of nonsense. The books and logs I carried were a little wet but we figured out pretty much what had happened as she was able to decipher this gibberish. Unfortunately the map was half torn and we thought that was where the Tyrant's brain was hidden. I decied I needed to set things right so after being advised i called nasa and asked some questions and they confirmed the suspicions I was being given. There was an unidentified object on earth with a massive density which was warping the fabric of space time itself on their charts. This was obviously the Tyrant's brain.

Now I know you said only one person in the whole earth and world could perform the surgery but that isn't definitive. The flood of noah is said to cover the earth but we now know it to have been a local flood. Just like paul referred to the Roman empire as the whole world and it was said in Genesis that the whole world came to buy or get grain from Joseph so its a relative term.

Well, after more advice I contacted a few people. It turns out that the scientist been in the village too long. His science had become outdated in the last 10 years. This was a standard operation now. It was like putting a band-aid on for Docs with high tech equipment.

The doctors said they would not go to the remote village so since these orcs obeyed me I made them make a few doctors offers they couldn't reuse. After the stinky orcs took their socks off and subjected the doctors to the intense stinkyness of their feet they quickly agreed to help. Using imaging from the nasa computer radar things we were able to locate the brain as it was warping space and time in its vicinity. Well, we took it to a big lab and the scientists performed the surgery and gave the Tyrant his body back with his brain in it. Using a bit of info from my brain they were able to recreate my body down to every last detail. So we are both safe and sound.

The village and Tyrantland have become strong allies ever since this day. The Tyrant has been very charitable to the village. They would help him if need be.

All right then. So, Sir Shaun, wouldst thou be so kind as to decide who gets to post the next challenge?

[faeroeisle]

what are the rules? i want to get in on this. if you deem me worthy,that is.

[Orpheus42]

I believe the rules doth be posted somewhere in this thread.

I believeth that to takest part in the rumble thou must escape from every challenge that hast been posted so far in the duel, doing so each time in a new and inventive way.

[faeroeisle]

oh my gosh... um...okay. uh...

[faeroeisle]

i think i'm too late for this one, i'll wait for another.:)

[Flannel Avenger]

I believe it was stated that the first to escape gets to make the next challenge, and as I posted before the Tyrant, should nobody object, I will go ahead and post the next challenge.

Here is the challenge:

An army of space slugs has observed the Tyrant and the Scarecrow dueling and flinging each other to the far corners of the galaxy. They have decided to conquer the area and because they believe the Tyrant when he says he is the most powerful, they have decided to start with Tyrantville. The Tyrant, being the egomaniac he is, declined aid from the SSIRA, the IHCofC, Flannel, and Flannel Aligned forces. However, what the Tyrant didn't realize was that the Slugs are capable of turning your own forces into slugs by sliming them. So the slugs turned the Tyrants army of Orcs, Gremlins, Trolls, et al. into slug warriors and overran him. Realizing the danger in creating a slug with Tyrannical tendencies, the Tyrant, however, was sent to a neutron star where he is being kept from being crushed or incinerated for the next 7 days.

Upon defeating the Tyrant, the Slugs then ran into the combined forces of the SSIRA and the IHCofC. But with the additional troops the Tyrant's army gave them, the SSIRA and IHCofC were overrun and all were turned into slug troops, except for Sir Shaun, who escaped into Flannel Land, and the Scarecrow, who, being a man of straw, was immune to the slug slime and was dispersed across the land. The bag that made up his head now resides in the Supreme Slugs throne room in his castle (formerly the Tyrant's throne room in the Tyrant's castle.) Crossrythm was found to be a most amusing person to the Supreme Slug and as such was sent to the neutron star and is being held in the same manner as the Tyrant, until they can suck his brain and install it into a computer to produce music and witty remarks forever.

Meanwhile, in Flannel Land, the border has been salted and Sir Shaun has called for IHCofC reinforcements, who will arrive in 7 days, when the counteroffensive begins. However, all the Flannelish weapons are lethal to slugs, so all of Tyrantville will perish unless a way is found to reverse the effects of the slug slime.

Finally, the most nefarious of all the Supreme Slugs doing was to slime Liz in the Tyrants castle, and being now a 1000 lb slug, Liz is to marry the Supreme Slug and become Slug Queen in 7 days unless a way is found to reverse the slime and restore her as well.

So each of you has an individual challenge in this scenario.

Tyrant:
1. Rescue Liz
2. Restore your army
3. Retake what is yours

Crossrythm:
1. Restore the Scarecrow
2. Rescue the SSIRA and IHCofC memebers "Slugified"
3. Smuggle them to Flannel Land

[crossrhythm]

In the modified rules that Sir Shaun put forth, he ruled that he would decide who got to post the next challenge in this tournament, so I will not try to escape until he rules if your challenge is valid or not. I must also point out that your challenge prohibits other members from entering this duel, as you assigned the tyrant and I separate challenges and did not thus allow for other people to participate in it, unless you would wish them to complete both the tyrant's and my portions of the challenge. Of course, it appears that nobody else is really interested in joining this particular tournament, so that may not be a problem. At any rate, that's a good challenge you've come up with, though I've already figured out how to solve my portion of it, except for figuring out how to restore the scarecrow, but I'm confident I'll be able to figure something out.

[Flannel Avenger]

What's this?? It's the Invisible Man!

What's that you're saying? I forgot about the people in the embassy? The Slugs broke down the door and Mr.X and those he is protecting can only remain hidden for 7 days??

Well, I guess that we need somebody to rescue the embassy, unless one of the original contestants does it first.

[Sir Shaun]

This is the ruling of the Supreme Chancellor...

You flannel clad one have indeed posted too soon...

However I like this challenge.

It amuses me.
Indeed I shall allow it to stand...
I was gonna order you to modify it but have since changed my mind so instead I shall allow it to stand.

Also I am allowing Faeroeilse (sp) to enter the duel at this point in time. You dearest Faeroeilse (sp) must rescue Mr. X and those in the embassy.... You are not bound by the fisrt challenge as it was not generic therefore it is the ruling of me that you are not required to escape it.

So let it be posted.
So let it be Done!

Also in the future waite for a decission from the proper authority before issuing a new challenge.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[faeroeisle]

first i would like to thank you Sir Shaun for allowing me to enter the duel, second, in order for me to conduct this mission i must be informed of the whereabouts of this embassy and who is Mr. X(seeing as i am rather new here, there is a lot i do not know about). i read the challenge, but seeing as how the rescue of the embassy and Mr. X was on a seperate post, i need it cleared up to me exactly what the circumstances are in order for me to proceed. thankyou.

[Flannel Avenger]

You, being a newcomer, arrived after the sluggish invasion. But you didn't know that Tyrantville was a war zone, so you went in. Upon realizing that the slugs were everywhere, you hid yourself. You can move around freely (well, as freely as somebody jumping from hiding place to hiding place.)

Mr. X is the Ambassador from the World Wide Message Board Super Heroes (or something to that effect. I am sure that Sir Shaun will correct any mistakes I make in peoples titles). He harbors those who he deems worthy of assylum in the embassy, which is in Tyrantville. It's easy enough to spot, it's the only building without orcs and a statue of the Tyrant in it. Not even the Tyrant dared to defy the IHCofC and enter the embassy uninvited. However, the slugs have. Fortunately for Mr. X. and those he is harboring, there are many tunnels underneath the embassy, and many a secret passage. However, the Slugs have siezed control of the embassy and are searching for the passages and tunnels. They estimate that in 7 days they will have the complex mapped out and all the inhabitants captured.

You must find a way to get Mr. X and his refugees out of the embassy and into safe territory before the 7 days have passed. FlannelLand is a known safe territory, but any place that the slugs have not conquered will do (although FlannelLand and Tyrantville are really the only places around, and Tyrantville is occupied by slugs.)

Good luck to you.

[Flannel Avenger]

One more thing...

You don't know which slugs are slugs and which slugs are transformed Tyrantville citizens, so it would be inadvisable to simply "blow up" the slugs.

And should the Tyrant or Crossrythm post an escape before you, you are not allowed to use their method of dealing with the slugs.

[Sir Shaun]

Seeing as how you have asked advice I shall give you this information. Mr. X is indeed the official ambassador here from the World Wide Message Board. He is the founder of the Superheros there. He is in charge of the embassy here were he offers the right of sanctuary to all whom wish it from the tyrant or flannel or almost anyone. To find the embassy all you need do is say you walked there or you could enter the embassy through the secret tunnels.... In fact rumor has it that the only safe place to hhide in the tunnels is the old SSIRA headquarters. When you reach the embassy find the newest looking wall. Once you see a wall that looks new then take the jackhammer you will find in the coatcloset by the main door and knock a whole in the wall with it. Follow the tunnel on the otherside it will lead you directly to the SSIRA headquarters(the old one not the new one as the new one is as yet undiclosed in its location) So when you get there just start looking for Mr. X... If memory serves me correct there is a map of the complete tunnel system on the wall in the old headquarters it might help you in your escape. Also when you find Mr. X ask him if he has the gift Butterfly gave him. It will come in most handy in an attempt at escape... I cannot tell you what the gift is or anything like that but there are others here whom know. Also let it be knwon that this post is not inteded as advice but rather as a quick history of who some people are and where things are and the what not as this new challenger is as yet unfamiliar with the territory.

Signed,
Sir Shaun...

PS flannel you forgot about Butteflies gift to Mr. X didn't you?

[Flannel Avenger]

Yes I did. But according to the rules of the royal rumble duel only 1 of the contestants can use it in their escape.

[faeroeisle]

okay, i've made it to the embassy. i have to be extremely careful, as i do not have a weapon with me,because i did not know this was a war zone at the time of entering. but i know i must not turn back and flee because i have to first save Mr.X and the other refugees. This is unknown territory to me, so i make sure all is clear around the walls of the building, searching for an entrance, thinking that the main one is guarded. finally, i stumble upon a secret door. i pull it open and go inside. it's extremely dark but fortunately i always carry a pocket flashlight with me incase of emergencies. i heard about the old SSIRA headquarters being a possible place for them to hide but i apparently came in at a place far from it and i don't want to risk being spotted by slugs just to search for it. So then i proceed to walk through the tunnel, hoping that it will lead me somewhere soon because my flashlight is dimming. After a while, the tunnel turns sharply upward. There are rungs embedded along the wall, so i turn off my flashlight and put it in my pocket and begin to climb. after what seems like an hour or so of steady climbing i see a shaft of light above my. i can barely make out anything,but i can see that the tunnel straightens out again. so i'm walking again and i suppose i am now in a secret passage up on the top floor. because there are tiny slits along the wall that are hidden from the outside(and too far up to be noticeable),that allow just enough light in for me to see and i can see by pressing my eye against one that i am well above the ground. Well, that and there is an old sign that says "top floor". Also, there are hidden openings along the walls. so i listen carefully at each door for any sign of movement. i know that the slugs probably would'nt be up here because, being slugs, they would take for ever to go up and down the embassy building. it would be the perfect place for the refugees to hide if they thought of that, and i hope they had.and the slugs wouldn't waste their time searching up here just yet because they know that when they map out the hidden chambers, it will be easier for them to find them. after about the 7th door i pass, i hear a shuffling. intently listening for about ten minutes, i also hear a muffled cough. clearly human sounding. so i take my chances and open the door. every one inside the hidden room is clearly suprised to see me, a stranger they have never seen before. i explain to them that i've come to rescue them and take them into flannel land. so quietly, i lead them all back the way i came, the tunnels were still safe, Mr. X said that even he had forgotten about the passage. he came into the secret room from another route. now we had to be even more careful. because we were back outside and it wasn't just one person. so we split into groups of twos and threes. and ran from hiding spot to hiding spot. it was night by now and many of the slugs had turned in for the night. so we didn't have to worry too much about encounters with them. finally we made it to the border and entered FlannelLand.

[crossrhythm]

I spent several days trapped on the neutron star wondering how I would ever get out of this sad predicament. On Wednesday morning, however, I heard a starship approach. I became worried, convinced that the time had come to meet my end. I wasn't wrong. Several slugs slithered out and carried me to the craft, which then took off for the slug headquarters, where my brain was soon to be sucked into their computer. The Supreme Slug had decided to come along on this journey, as he wanted to hear me perform one last time in person before he had my talent transplanted into a computer. So, they brought out a keyboard for me to play upon.

Fortunately, just before being captured and transported to the neutron star, I had just finished reading a book by Dr. Phil Harmonic entitled "The Effects of Music on the Mind." From this book, I had learned how to play a song that would put the crew into a deep sleep, just like the harp did to the giant in that literary classic "Jack and the Bean Stalk." Soon, the entire crew was sound asleep. This left me totally unguarded, so I entered the control room and told the pilot that I had instructions from the Supreme Slug to entertain him. The pilot was glad to hear this, as live entertainment was a rare thing to be had on a starship. So, I began to play, but by making a few subtle changes in the tune, I was able to play a song that only put the pilot in a trance, instead of putting him to sleep. I was then able to hypnotize him. I instructed him to fly the starship back to Earth and to let me off near Tyrantville.

I then went back to the Supreme Slug's room, where he was just waking up. However, before he fully awakened, I once again began playing, and I put him in a trance as well. I instructed him to give me a pass that would grant me permission to visit all of the slug troops and entertain them. This he did. Then, I played the song again, but this time, I played it for a really long time. As a result, everyone on the ship, except the pilot, who was in a separate part of the ship, was put into a very deep sleep that could nearly be considered to be a coma. Then, I just sat down and waited to arrive on Earth, which we soon did.

Once we arrived, I put the pilot to sleep too and walked off the ship. It didn't take me long to find the slug troops' camp. Presenting my pass from the Supreme Slug, I was allowed in, and I began to play. Soon, the entire slug army was in a hypnotic trance. I then went among them, asking them questions about their homes. In this way, I was able to figure out which slugs were from their own planet and which were actually SSIRA or IHCofC members. I then instructed the general, who of course was still hypnotized, to change all of the slugs I specified back into their original selves. This he did. So, the IHCofC members and SSIRA members were restored, and were able to gather up all of the slugs, whom I had put back to sleep with yet another round of playing. I was glad this was the last time I'd have to play it, 'cause I was getting really sick of that song!

So, anyway, we loaded the sleeping slugs back onto the starship, and I woke the pilot, but only enough to hypnotize him one last time. I pointed to a location on his chart and instructed him to fly the starship to it. This location was a black hole, so the slugs will never be seen again. After exiting the ship, which promptly took off and headed for its unknowing destruction, I entered the tyrant's castle, which was now abandoned. I went to get the scarecrow's head and set out to find the rest of his body.

Now, as you all know, several times in the past, the scarecrow has been transformed several times and through the use of some very strange equipment. As a result, over time, his straw eventually built up an electric charge. This meant that if I would hold his head over a pile of straw, the straw that was part of his body would separate from the other straw and would attach itself to his head and to each other. So, all I had to do was to find all the straw in the area and take the scarecrow's head there, and the scarecrow would restore himself. Fortunately, there was an ambitious little pig who lived here who decided to build a house out of straw, and, being the hard-working fellow that he was, he had gathered all the straw within a 50 mile radius together. I went to his building sight and explained my problem. He gladly let me walk through the pile holding the scarecrow's head. Soon, all of the straw that belonged to his body had detached itself from the pig's pile and had reattached itself to the scarecrow's head. Fortunately, the pig had also found his clothing, so we were able to stuff the straw inside to give him his ordinary anatomical structure. So, I have now completed my portion of the challenge, except smuggling everyone into Flannel Land, but since I took care of the slugs in my area, there's no longer a need to do so. I should point out, however, that since all escapes must be separate, just because I got rid of the slugs in my challenge, that doesn't mean they're not still around to cause trouble for the tyrant when he solves it for himself. That is all. The guardian of blatherskyte wishes you all a good day.

[Flannel Avenger]

Being a fair and honorable contestant, I do hereby remind the Tyrant that his time is running out.

[Vinnie]

I still don't see how you got to post the challenge. The Tyrant is petitoning and asking for an investigation into the matter. No cheating is allowed in here and breaking the rules = cheating. I should be posting the next challenge as my escape was clearly more clever! :p

Your challenge will have to wait. I am going to go ahead and post my challenge tomorrow night.

[Flannel Avenger]

Sir Shaun himself said that he would allow my challenge to go forward.

[Vinnie]

I am petitioning against it.

[Flannel Avenger]

The decision has already been made. You dare question the Supreme Chancellor of the IHCofC????

[Vinnie]

yup, that he recondiser or at least explain how the rules were broken.

[Flannel Avenger]

Your best case scenario: Sir Shaun allows you to post the next challenge

[Vinnie]

Yup and that hopefully reed is better at escaping than you and so on so you never actually get to challenge :D

[Sir Shaun]

Here is how the rules were broken...though technically they were not broken.

You see Flannel did indeed post a chalenge much to soon as he had not been granted the right to do so. However His posting was challenge and I ruled that it should be allowed to stand as I liked the challenge he was issuing. The word of the Supreme Chancellor is final and shall not be revoked. Tyrant I am granting you an extention n the escape. You have, exaclty however much time elapsed between when you issued your complaint and when the actuall seven day time limit elapsed and no more.

If there are further complaints I plan on returning Friday to grant someone the right of next challenge.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[Vinnie]

Welp, if you can violate the rules so can the Tyrant. I will respond in fourteen days!

[crossrhythm]

I am hereby giving formal notification that I shall be absent until the 6th and will thus be unable to participate in this duel until the aforementioned time. Of course, this rumble seems to have become more of a fizzle than a rumble as of late, so this probably won't even matter, but I thought I'd better mention it just in case. So, until then, welfare... I mean farewell.

[Flannel Avenger]

ok, on 12/11 Sir Shaun ruled my challenge could go forth.

On 12/15 the Tyrant objected

On 12/17 Sir Shaun ruled that the Tyrant could have an extention of the period of time equal to that from the period of time he objected until Sir Shaun issued the ruling.

So, ordinarily, the Tyrant's time would have expired on 12/18

With Sir Shaun's extention, the Tyrant has until 12/20 (that would be today) to escape.

Tick Tock Tyrant

[Sir Shaun]

ahh but you see the tyrant (demented as he is) has indeed issued an petition of extened absence. He has not so much requested but rather demanded he shall reply within fourteen days.

We of the High COnsolate will allow this request to stand on the following grounds. Tyrant please clarify as to whom the welp is and also as to wich rules you believe to have been braoken. The Supreme Chancellor can not give as much time to each duel to pick them over with a fine tooth comb as he is supervising the running of the consolate. Any help or clarification you can provide will be apreciated.

Also we grant the extended right of absence to any wishing to claim it.

Signed,
Sir SHaun

[Flannel Avenger]

The Tyrant must make his response by New Years Eve. (12/31/2001) Or he shall be defeated.

I think he wants the extra time because he's stuck and can't figure a way out :D

[Vinnie]

Stuck? last time i checked there were only two Certified Masters @ The Art of Escape (CM@tAoE) here and i happen to be one of them! ;)

[Flannel Avenger]

Then why do you need an extra 2 weeks??? Huh?? If it really was so easy, you would have already escaped!

[Vinnie]

That is kind of like disputing Genesis by asking "Why would God need 7 days if He is so powerful?"

Debating with you is too easy :p

[Flannel Avenger]

You are not God. The example that you set is pointless! Get to work. For soon, you shall deal with my coalition!

[Vinnie]

too easy :p

[Flannel Avenger]

If my challenges are sooooo easy, then why a two week delay??

[Vinnie]

I already gave the reason. You polemic didn't refute anything. My argument was not based upon me being God.

Like I said, too easy :p

[Sir Shaun]

are you all gonna finish this duel or not?

If not then I need to appoint a winner based on the merits exhibited so far.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[crossrhythm]

As much as it pains me to say this, for I would hate for my first official duel to suffer such a fate, I am of the opinion that this entire duel should be declared invalid, as the rules have been severely bent nearly from the beginning. First, Flannel posted a challenge without obtaining permission. Second, Faeroeisle was allowed to enter the duel without having to escape the first challenge. Third, the tyrant broke the seven day time limit, promising instead to answer in 14 days, but he has now failed to do even this. So, those are my thoughts to do with as you will.

[faeroeisle]

i think i should be declared winner. :D
i didn't argue a bit, and displayed good sportsmanship.

[Flannel Avenger]

All I care about is that the Tyrant be declared beaten by the Flannel Avenger.

[The Scarecrow]

if wants were haves we'd all be rich.

Shaun will be in later tommorow or so and issue some sort of ruling.

Signed
The Scarecrow

[Sir Shaun]

Listen for here in lies the ruling of the Supreme Chancellor...

It is my belief that you crossrythm do indeed have some good points but not all of them are justified. The first challenge was not generic so therefore there is no way for a newcomer to escape it which is why I allowed Faeroeisle to enter so no rule was broken. And besides I am the Supreme Chancellor and as so I have the final say in the interpretation and creation as well as destruction and modification of rules. But that too i not important now. Here is my ruling. The Tyrant did indeed not give advanced notice of this long extended leave of absence and he is hereby defeated and may no longer participate in this duel unless he re-enters and re-escapes all of the challenges up untill such a tie as he escapes them all at which point he then may compete for right of issuance. Now then as to whom posts next....

Survey says...


I the Supreme Chancellor of the International High Consolate of Champions do hereby betow the honor of right of issuance of challenge unto the one ccalled Crossrhythm.

I have spoken.
That is all.

Signed
Sir Shaun.

[crossrhythm]

Well, in that case, here is the next challenge.

Through some unfortunate circumstance which can never be fully explained due to its highly bizarre nature, you have each been chained to the most powerful magnet in the known universe. Then, the second most powerful magnet was dropped on top of your prone body, pinning you most effectively, not only because this magnet happens to weigh quite a lot, but also because the magnetic attraction between the two magnets is so strong that they are nearly impossible to separate now, even though your body is between them. Thus, you are completely immobile. Furthermore, the chains which are wrapped around your entire body and fastened to the underside of the first magnet via a padlock, are also stuck to this magnet since they are metal. Thus, even if you could somehow reach the padlock and unlock the chains, which I don't see as a possible option, it would do you know good. Besides, the key for the padlock has been lost somehow, and nobody has the faintest idea where to look for it. Finally, I should mention that these magnets that are pinning you are exactly as long and wide as your body, and you are tightly surrounded by walls of concrete that are 3 feet thick, with a ceiling merely 6 inches above your head. Thus, even if you could propel the second magnet off of you somehow, it would come right back down again, not only because of the gravitational and magnetic pull, but also because there is simply nowhere else for it to go. So, your challenge, obviously, is to free yourself from the two magnets, and then to somehow escape the room in which you are kept. There are no doors. You were simply lowered into the room, and the ceiling, which consists of of yet another slab of 3 foot thick concrete was then placed over the walls. Unfortunately, you have no tools with you that would assist you in this manner, except for a toothpick, a 3 cm long thread of yarn, 5 corn chips, and a clarinet mouthpiece. Good luck.

Oh yeah, what exactly is a generic challenge?

[The Scarecrow]

Simple a generic challenge is one that may or may not be person specific. Like if you want to make each person do a specific yet different task in your challenge you could tweak each persons individual in which case it is no longer a generis challenge unless you put in an aditionsla challenge which is adressed to anyone whom you may have forgotten about in a generis none person specific manner.

The Scarecrow

[crossrhythm]

Hmm. All right then, though I must confess, I'm still a trifle confused. Why couldn't Faeroeisle escape the first challenge? There was nothing about it that prohibited her from doing so that I can tell. It wasn't directed specifically at one person or group. Had she desired to do so, she could simply have thought of a way to escape the village as well, unless the fact that she entered late somehow prevents her from being considered one of the scientist's experimental subjects. Of course, this is all water under the bridge now, as you have made your final decision. I'm just asking for the sake of clarity.

[Flannel Avenger]

Most fortunately for me, and most unfortunately for whoever locked me to the magnet, they forgot to take into account Asteroids from outer space. They contain a lot of magnetic material. Anyway, the magnets started attracting asteroids, and there were so many of them that both magnets, all the chains, and the room was pummelled into tiny little pieces. Miracuously, through some device that I cannot explain but obviously occured, I was unharmed.

I then walked away from the rubble.

[crossrhythm]

You need a better explanation than that, or else I could escape every challenge from now on by simply stating that through some occurrence that I can't explain but that obviously occurred, I escaped, and that is hardly an interesting or valid way to escape.

[Flannel Avenger]

That's how it was worded in the challenge!

[faeroeisle]

yes i was late, i believe. and it was the ruling of Sir Shaun that i did not have to escape it because it was generic. i'm confused as to what was meant as generic though.

[butterfly]

You know, I really think you guys spend more time arguing about dueling than actually dueling.

[crossrhythm]

*Bump*
Just so Faeroeisle doesn't forget to escape this finely crafted challenge...

[faeroeisle]

alright,*grumbles *
this is how i got free. i conjure up all my brain power, since i've nothing better to do but think. so i practice my mind skills. (since i am already above average as it is, using 35 percent of my brain) so then i get my brain usage level up to 73 percent, dangerously high, and concentrate all the force, to thinking of a way to escape. i am hungry and i see the 5 corn chips lying in front of me just beyond my reach, i will them to come to me and they do, then teleportation comes to mind, if i can transport those chips into my mouth, then i can no doubt transport myself into somewhere else.so i imagine myself being at home, away from the magnetic prison, and suddenly here i am, telling you how i got free. unfortunately, the stress put my brain in to a lock-down shock and i am only down to normal brain usage. but with a little rest and incentive, rest assured, i can maintain that level of power again. oh yes.

[Sir Shaun]

The rulings of the Supreme Chancellor seldom make complete sence as all this truly is nosense. However in an attempt to try and answer some questions the reason Faeroeisle did not have to escape the very first challenge is because whne I was reading through them Id dit not interpret it as being one that was open to all peopl but rather directed at the three participating at the time of original postage. If this was not the intent of the the poster than truly I do offer my apollogies. Normally I would have held a longer investigation but you all seemed to want to get this thing going so I was hasty. I also concur that th escape by flannel needs more detail. ALso I like you escape Faeroeisle. Also tyrant you really shouldn't give up so easily, Why did you not protest the ruling? There are more than enought loophole with which you could have objected...like I don't know the right of past presntation of extended absence from duiling.... mail me sometime and we shall speek of such things.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[faeroeisle]

yay! my escape was commended!

-yeah, and looking back, it did look as it was directed to specified persons.

[Sir Shaun]

see that's what I thought but if it wasn't intended that way then indeed I did misinterpret it which has been known to happen. However, in matters of nonsense duels my word is final. So there is nothing to fear.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[faeroeisle]

*whew* thanks! :D

[Sir Shaun]

you're welcome.

you know again I must point out I hate flood control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[faeroeisle]

no kidding.

[crossrhythm]

Flannel, we doth all be waiting with bated breath for your new and improved escape.

[Flannel Avenger]

Very well.

Fortunately for me, there were several large asteroids (which are coincidentally, rich in iron, a mantetic metal) orbiting earth at the time I was locked in the magnetic thingamawatsit. Being the Most Powerful and Second Most Powerful magnets in existance, they pulled the Asteroids to them. The asteroids didn't entirely disinegrate in the atmosphere, and they smashed the magnets into tiny little pieces upon impact. The magnets were destroyed. And logically, since the asteroids were pulled to the magnets, they had to come through the cement room, which was destroyed by the asteroids traveling at a hypersonic speed. All these falling asteroids generated a lot of heat, and so, ground zero became very very hot, hot enough to make the chains holding me malleble, I was then able to stretch them enough to wriggle out.

And that is how I escaped

[faeroeisle]

eek! must have hurt! :)

[Sir Shaun]

good job.

Has everyone escape?

If not then please speek up before monday

I will post who get right of challenge on tuesday or so.

Signed,
Me

[Sir Shaun]

This is my ruling.

Faeroeisle is hereby granted right of issuance of challenge.
You may now challenge those remaining in the duel.

[faeroeisle]

hm, hey, look at that, i get to post the next challenge. :biggrin:
okay here it is:

you are stuck on an uninhabited island trapped in a deep, uninpenetrable underground cavern. top secret experiments had taken place there and project Foot has gone terribly wrong. since it was top secret no one knows you are there, and that anything has gone wrong. the entire system has now shut itself down and the entire island will self destruct in seven days. there is absolutely no way of contact from the outside world. and you are all alone, all the others, unfortunately, did not survive. there is only one way the Foot can escape, it is strong enough to kick through a certain part of the wall in the powerplant cavern, where it can leap up through the water and terrorize all on earth with it's smashing power and its putrid odor.(btw, once it kicks open the wall the cavern will flood, drowning you, plus the water will have no effect on the bomb, buried deep beneath the chamber, there is no way to turn off the nuclear bomb either, except for one way only that will be revealed at the end of this challenge) it has realized that already and is heading that way. by the way, if it does escape, the island will immediately blow up. here is some information about the Foot:
it has thick calloused skin, impervios to pain.
it can withstand any weapon.
it has a remarkably fast healing rate.
it is incredibly smart and swift.
it can track your every move.
it cannot drown.
it is 15 feet tall(it cuts off at the ankle).
it is 32 feet long.
it's toenails are painted dark purple.
it is a giant foot.

your challenge is to stop/destroy the Foot from escaping without meeting the fate of the others that were with you, and to escape yourself before the nuclear device detonates in seven days. then you have to find the secret button that is on the next island( also deserted) and push it to turn off the bomb(this is the only thing that can disable the bomb) this must be disabled because the radiation from it will kill all life 10,000 miles around it, it is that powerful, because they did not want to risk the Foot escaping from it. everything useful to stop the Foot was destroyed when the Foot escaped the Containment Chamber. so now you'll have to improvise. you can use anything that wasn't destroyed, but all the stuff that is left is useless. Get started and Good luck!!!

[Flannel Avenger]

The foot really isn't a menace, it's just misunderstood. The purple toenails should be a dead giveaway. The foot has contracted a fungus. That explains the irratability and the stench (unless it's the Tyrant's foot). Upon having a conversation with the foot, I agreed to take it to a dermatologist if it would be kind enough to help me escape and disarm the nuclear bomb. Through cooperation, the Foot broke through the wall, with me in tow, and carried me to the surface before I drowned. The foot quickly carried me to the other island and I pushed the button deactivating the bomb. We then made much haste to a dermatologists office were the Foot was prescribed a special cream to make him better. He might have been impervious to pain, but the itch was killing him. After that, the foot decided to go off in search of a new life, since everybody on earth was scared of him. So he went to Tyrantville and stole one of the Tyrant's inventions for hurling the Scarecrow to the other side of the galaxy, and has gone off to a new life in the world of socks, where he is very happy.

[faeroeisle]

good one, flannel, but you forgot that when the Foot escaped the bomb automatically goes off.

[Flannel Avenger]

d'oh

Ok, the foot kicks open the hole, but stays underwater and I swim up the other island and disable the bomb. I come back and get foot. We go to the dermatologist, etc etc etc...

[faeroeisle]

okay, sorry again to do this to you, but the Foot is out in the water, so if it is outside of the cavern, then it is out and considered as escaped by the island system. and being so deep under the water, you'd be crushed by the pressure. any adaptations? you have to be a bit more clear/descriptive.

[Sir Shaun]

I think your more technical than the scarecrow can be sometimes...

[Flannel Avenger]

The foot was still in the cavern. He cracked the wall allowing ME to leave and disarm the bomb. Then I came back for him and we left together.

[crossrhythm]

First, let me say that this was an excellent challenge, for I was unable to think of an escape until late Thursday night. So at any rate, here it is.

Your post stated that a bomb would go off if the foot kicked through the wall and escaped. This would indicate that there were motion-detecting cameras somewhere nearby that would trigger the bomb when they detected the foot's escape. So, I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to deactivate the cameras. Fortunately, I was spared this problem, which is a good thing, as I was unable to come up with anything. A severe thunderstorm struck the island, and the lightning shorted out the entire electrical system. This disabled not only the cameras, but also the timer, so the bomb will now never go off. One problem solved. Now, how to escape the foot.

Most people have at least one thing of which they are afraid. The foot was no exception. It turns out that it was terrified of thunder. During the storm, it sat in the corner of the cavern, shaking with terror. I began to talk to the foot to try to calm it. I told it that there was a loving God who could calm the storm. The foot didn't believe me, so, mustering up my faith, I said "Peace, be still," and just tlike that, the storm stopped. I told the foot that I was able to do this because of Jesus. No longer skeptical, the foot agreed to help me. So, I instructed the foot to strike the weak portion of the wall with his big toe. This broke a hole in the wall; a hole not big enough to drown me, but enough to let some water in, along with a few fish, which is just what I wanted. Having heard the saying that you are what you eat, I ate one of the fish and instantly became one. I then swam away, telling the foot that I would return with some helpful scientists who would see to it that the foot would be placed in a safe environment.

I swam for quite a while, when suddenly, I found myself tangled in a large fishing net. The net was then hauled on board a ship, and a fisherman grabbed me. Enraged, for I was still a fish after all and thus quite unhappy to be detained in such a manner, I bit the poor fellow's finger right off. Of course, having eaten human flesh, I was restored to my human form. This, coupled with the recent loss of the fisherman's finger, did nothing to ease his fears. He was about to clobber me most severely when I, calling on God once again, restored his finger. This delighted him, though he was still a little scared of me. However, on the return to the fishing dock, I filled him in on my adventure. Of course, he thought me quite bereft of my senses, but as I had restored his finger to him, he agreed to let me go without informing the authorities and having me committed. I then hired someone to drive me back to Minot, where I then came to the college, and thus to my dorm, and thus to my room, and thus to my computer, where I have now finished relying to you the tale of my escape from the foot. I have sent some scientists back to reclaim it by the way.

[Sir Shaun]

It is my ruling that Crossrythm be granted the right of issueance of challenge.

[Sir Shaun]

you better post quick or the thing might just end...

[crossrhythm]

I am going to ask for an indefinite extension. Things are a bit insane around here lately, and it's not even finals week!

[Sir Shaun]

Sobeit.

I grant you the right of extended absence. Please keep us informed though so we may notify those involved upon your return and actual postage of a chalenge.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[crossrhythm]

Well, I was going to wait until the tyrant returned before I posted this since a moratorium on wackiness had been declared, but seeing as how things seem to be as wacky as ever, I shall assume it is all right to post my challenge. Also, if there are any preliminary procedures that should have been done before I go ahead and post this, I'll just apologize in advance, for I know of none and will thus just go ahead and post this challenge having good faith that the ICHofC will see fit to overlook this violation, if indeed one has been committed, seeing as how I knew of nothing that should prevent me from posting it. Now then, on to business...

You have been transported to GSN studios (GSN standing for Game Show Network) in the year 123456789. You have been drafted to participate in a game called "Time Line." In this show, contestants are picked from centuries back, transported through time to the year 123456789, and forced to answer questions about someone else living in the same time period as that from which the contestant was so rudely taken. Unfortunately, the questions that are asked are ones to which you could not possibly know the answer to, such as what this person will be doing in 30 years. Of course, with their time traveling capabilities, the judges of this game can simply go back in time and find out, but you have no such luxury. If the contestant answers the question correctly, he/she wins 111,333,555,777,990 thingies, which are the basic monitary unit of the year 123456789. Then, however, the contestant is then sent back to the time from which he/she was taken, so the prize is worthless. What can I say? The people of this time period are rather sadistic. That, however, is not the worst of it. If the contestant answers the question incorrectly, which all have done so far seeing as how they couldn't possibly know the answers to the questions asked, they are forced to undergo a treatment that erases their memories, and they are then sent back to the year 1234 B.C. where they either wander the countryside, or if they land near a village, spend their days playing the part of the village idiot.

So, you have been snatched from this century and transported to the year 123456789 to appear on "Time Line." Unfortunately, you arrive just as the show is getting over for the week, so they only have time to ask you the question before going off the air. Your question is as follows:

What precisely will Reed (which would be me) dine upon for supper on the evening of March 6 2002? The precise names of the foods must be given. Any attempt at tricky wording, vague answers, or anything else other than the precise names of the foods will result in the aforementioned treatment and transportation back to the days before Christ. You, of course, have 7 days to come up with the correct answer. In the meantime, you are to be held in a room with an invisible but impenetrable barrier around it. This barrier, of course, is another product of technology of the year 123456789, and is thus beyond the scope of anyone other than the scientists who built it to break. What is more, if anyone other than an authorized scientist tries to interfere with it in any way, an extremely potent chemical which will dissolve your body in 0.0000000006 seconds will be released, and needless to say, you'll cease to exist before any help could come to you. The same chemical will be released if any unauthorized time travel occurs, so no one can aid you in this manner. Also, your thoughts are being monitored as well, and if the computers monitoring your thoughts sense that you are even so much as thinking about escaping, they will instruct the release of the chemical. Thus, if you post a reply to this challenge that does anything other than state the precise names of the foods eaten by yours truly for supper next Wednesday, it more than likely will not count, as it would indicate that you escaped, which you could not possibly do without thinking about it, and as you know, even thinking about escaping will release the chemical. Thus, even if you post an escape that does not require thought in the escape itself, even this would involve thinking about a plan where thought is not required, so it too indicates thought. Confused yet? Good! So, you have 7 days to come up with the answer to the question, and if you either try to escape or give an incorrect answer, you shall meet a most unfortunate end. So, that's your challenge. Enjoy... and remember, don't even think about escaping it!

[Flannel Avenger]

*thinks about escaping*

*ceases to exist*

*however, because I no longer existed, they no longer snatched me and caused me to cease to exist*

*I exist again*

*snatched again*

*killed again*

*paradox ensues*

The only way the scientist that built the infernal contraption could figure out how to save the space time continuum from a collapse caused by this paradox was to prevent themselves from ever abducting me. Therefore, I was never abducted and have escaped.

[Sir Shaun]

failure to comply with a correct escape. You can time travel and die in the past or futur but still have existed. Just because you died in the future after you were abducted does not mean you were not in existance for the abduction to occur. You must find another escape of whihc I an think of several... You can't ask me though cause I am not your advisor. However if someone else were to ask me and the information got to your advisor that would be an entirely different story...

This by the way is an excellent challenge. At first reading i almost had to throw it out for violating the possiblity of escape as no escape seems the only way out but that isn't true. There are several things which could be done to get out alive and still return to the present.

[crossrhythm]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly does it mean to violate the possibility of escape? Is there an official rule about this? I thought the idea was to come up with a challenge that could not be escaped. Is this not how duels are won?

[Flannel Avenger]

I think it's a principle you try to adhere to, not an official rule. At least not yet...

[The Scarecrow]

Every chalenge must have some way in which to escape. Most duels begin with an intended escape and end with many many possibilities. Upon initial reading of your challenge I was like Sir Shaun and took ti be unescapable however it is not. There is a valid escape which you require to be met. It is truly impossible for anyone to actually escape using the escape you wantt hem to. However after carefull thought and manipulation of the laws of nonsense and time space continuums and all there are actually soem very creavtive ways in which to escape. I Flannel doesn't come up with one by the seven day limit then I will show some of them to you. But as I am not an advisor I will not post them as I don't want to enterfear with the duel.

Now then adressing the combined thoughts of you and flannel. Yes it is principle every challenge must have some way to escape. The point is to make it so hard that the other person can not find the way to escape. Some challenges are inescapable and when one such is found a ruling is made negating it or it is order the poster modify it. That doesn't happen very often. It is also one of the reasons that the use of magic and invisible traps has been outlawed.

Signed,
Scarecrow

[faeroeisle]

again, thanks to my abnormally large brain capacity, i am able to do many things. one of those things are to foresee the future. so i give my answer, naming the precise names of the foods. everyone is shocked and they grudgingly pay me the thingies and send me back home' where i then come across an unbelievebly unbright rich person and easily convice him that the thingies are a thing of the future and tell him that when currency is changed over to it, then he will be the richest person on earth because he already has some saved up. so he willingly trades me half of his 7.6 billion dollar estate for the thingies. so now, on top of being incredibly smart, i am now also incredible rich.

[crossrhythm]

Flannel, thy time doth be running out.

[Flannel Avenger]

Oh very well.

I answer the miscreants from the future by saying that Reed will dine on Haggis that night. Being wrong, they transport me to the time before Christ. Being that the time after Christ is known as the Age of Faith and as such, prevents miracles from occuring, the rules have changed since I am no longer there. I simply make a trek to Israel considering that no matter where I am on earth it will be reasonably connected so that a short boat trip will allow me to hop continents. Once in Israel, I find a Prophet of the Most High God, who, when I explain my dilemma, consults The LORD God, who, in turn, sends me back to the future because I am saved by His Grace. :D

[crossrhythm]

I'm afraid you forgot one little detail. If you are wrong, not only are you sent back in time, but you are forced to undergo a treatment that erases your memory. Therefore, you could not have consulted a prophet about your dilemma, because you would have forgotten that you were even in a dilemma. Try again, and do it quickly, or else you shall lose the duel!

[Flannel Avenger]

Since nothing can separate me from the Love of God through Christ, not even those misanthropes from the future, despite damage to my memory, I would still seek out the LORD and His prophet. And fixing my memory is part of the miracle of sending me back.

[crossrhythm]

Sir Shaun, wouldst thou be so kind as to make a ruling so we may continue?

[Sir Shaun]

Well...
Based on the fact that previous posted escape have been allowed to stand on the grounds of biblical ideas we shall allow the escape of the forbiden fabric avenger to stand this one time. However we remind him that the goal is to use nonsense and we of the High Consolate do not take matters involving God into consideration as nonsense. Because of this we remind the FFA that he is to use nonsense in his escape and that should he continue to use religious justification for escaping then we will consider him to say that religion is nonsense and ban him from dueling on the grounds of attempted coverup of logic as nonsense. We do not take religious matters into consideration as

bRB

[Sir Shaun]

You know the thing I hate most about having to use computers in the department on campus is that when a professor needs to use it you have to let them jump in.

So then back tot he point I was making.

FFA we strongly recomend you do not use religious beliefs to escape from a duel as we do not consider religion (namely Christianity or Judaism) to be considered nonsense. And since they are not nonsense using them to escape constitutes the use of logic which is hghly frowned upon.

Anyway that it for now.

[Flannel Avenger]

*BUMP*

[crossrhythm]

Sir Shaun, wouldst thou be so kind as to state whom shall receive the right to issue the next challenge?

[crossrhythm]

*Bump for the third time in a row* Since you're on the board right now, maybe you'll see it this time and issue the right to give the next challenge.

[Sir Shaun]

I suppose I shall grant the right of issuance of challenge to the forbidden fabric avenger since he did finally escape I gues and he was the first to attempt escape so if nothing else it shows he is brave...well brave or doesnt think much before acting....

[Flannel Avenger]

Originally posted by Sir Shaun

That's a fine line :D

I plan to issue a challenge tomorrow.

[Sir Shaun]

:D glad you appreciate it


again i feel it is necessary to point out I hate flood control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flannel Avenger]

I too hate flood control, but my petitions to the Tyrant have fallen on deaf ears.

(btw, Sir Shaun, you have enough posts for a title. I expected you to have something like "High Chancellor of the IHCofC" or something like that by now)

Now, onto the challenge.

By reading this you have been transported to the land of Oz. The inhabitants seem to be in some kind of uproar over a traitor and a giant robot and a talking cat so they are too busy to help you. Winged monkeys have orders to destroy any balloons that try to leave Oz. You must find a way to return home in before 7 days have elapsed (and I suggest that you try not to take something from the Scarecrow, for he is a sneaky straw man).

[Sir Shaun]

An interesting challenge indeed....


It is just a shame that the winged Monkeys aren't here to inforce the Scarecrow's decree as the Flannulous prime guy has his flunky Grimlock swallow them and they are now running rampant in the Wacky World...


You have to be carefull what you have your friends do flannel as a great challenge can become easy to escape when you forget stuff like that...

However even without the winged Monkeys on patrol it will still be exceptionally hard to escape.

Signed,
Sir Shaun

[Kittycat]

oh my!

[Sir Shaun]

exactly...

I mean you would think that since he and Flanulous Prime are so close and all that he would have known the winged monkeys were running rampant in the Wacky World and not in Oz.

[Kittycat]

good point. so.....like what happened/s to me...

[Sir Shaun]

nothing.

Scarecrow has no qualms with you.
He is after Flanulous prime right now as he was the main traitor to Oz...

You were just an psuedoinocent bystander and all...

[Kittycat]

Wow!
thats a first!

[Flannel Avenger]

Actually, I posted the challenge before Flannelus Prime, The Dinobots, and Kitty Cat escaped Oz. So the winged monkeys were still there when the challenge was issued.

btw, time seems to be running out. I may wind up Champion of this duel if nobody posts anything.

And I fail to see how Flannlus Prime can be a traitor to Oz since he was never a citizen of Oz.

[faeroeisle]

i woke up. there, i'm back home.

[Flannel Avenger]

I don't think that counts.

Sir Shaun?

[faeroeisle]

how does that not count? looks like a good answer to me. :)

[crossrhythm]

Again, I'm afraid I may have to ask for an extension. Things have been quite busy around here, and although they're slowing down now, I doubt I'll get around to escaping today, though it is remotely possible. Tomorrow I'll be leaving because of Easter, and I won't be back until Monday night. So, I would ask for an extension until next Tuesday.

[The Scarecrow]

Here now these words from Sir Shaun as dictated to me the Scarecrow Herald of the Supreme Chancellor...


Forgive my lack of postage.
Due to my absence some rulings have gone unruled.

Faeroeisle,
You have not escaped.
Crossrythm,
I grant your extened absence.

Now then here are the rules.
Everyone here since you all did not escape and since you said you could escapre by tuesday and all this is what I rule.

I rule that those being challenged by the challenge in question that being the escape from Oz are hereby granted the right of extended postage. You have untill midnight on thrusday April 4, 2002 to escape. The time zone in question would be Eastern Standard Time. SO then have at it and good luck.

Oh and btw. Yes the monkeys were gone from Oz because of the whole same time thing. That is the same reason you and Scarecrow can't be in the battleilefd post and the LOTR post.

Signed,
Sir SHaun

As typed by Scarecrow

[Flannel Avenger]

Only 1 day until I become a champion!

[crossrhythm]

I'm just too honest for my own good. It is already past midnight on April 4 in the Eastern time zone, so you have won... unless Sir Shaun meant that we would have until midnight tonight, though that would technically be the 5th then. I'll wait for him to clarify, and if he rules that you've already won, then congrats in advance, but if he rules we have one more day, I'll post my escape.

[Breni Sue]

Of course, you could always get Shaun on a technicality and argue that there is no such day as Thrusday! ;)

[Flannel Avenger]

I am certain he meant midnight April 4th as being one minute after 11:59 pm April 4th and not one minute before 12:01 A.M. April 4th.

Umm, that came out a little more confusing than I intended. What I mean to say is I'm sure you still have until Midnight tonight.

[Sir Shaun]

yes indeed I meant tonight which is 12 am on the fifth,

Sorry for the confussion. As it stands now I believe you have about five more hours or so...

Get to it.

Also just so you all know I leave tomorow for a trip to missouri and won't be back till monday so good luck all.

[Flannel Avenger]

Only 45 minutes left until I am a champion.

What's the number for the Wheaties people...

[Kittycat]

1-800-247-9548

[Flannel Avenger]

Where'd I put that cell phone...

[Kittycat]

or was it 1-800-281-5945.....

[Flannel Avenger]

Maybe I should try e-mail...

[Kittycat]

yeah you better.....
(*gnight*)

[Flannel Avenger]

Well, it's midnight.

Unless Shaun grants an extention, I am the champion of this duel.

Contestants:
1 Flannel Avenger
2 Crossrythm
2 Faeroisle
4 ilgwamh (Certified Master at the art of escape)

[crossrhythm]

He needn't grant an extension unless he wishes to make it an indefinite one, for I am still quite involved with events here at college, and I've no idea when things will slow down. However, there is an interesting factor here. When this duel started, it was in the college rage, and the scarecrow said that whomever won would be next in line to challenge his championship, but with the name change, and the title of championship of this board given to Jason, this part of the duel may have been made void. Oh well, at any rate, congratulations!

[Flannel Avenger]

Thank you. You have been a clever and worthy opponent.

(If you change your mind about petitioning for the extention I won't be offended)

[Flannel Avenger]

*Bump*

(I want Shaun to see this first thing when he gets back tomorrow)

[Sir Shaun]

See what???

*bump*

I mean what is that supposed to be anyway?

I think I know what you are wanting though and I will have some sort of thing for you tommorow. However as I must leave soon and have many posts to check i must be off.

Shaun

[Flannel Avenger]

I merely want to be confirmed as Champion :D

[Purrcilla Dekat]

Go bring me a pizza and we will talk about it. I am mein charge here mew know.

[Flannel Avenger]

HA!

Not even the Tyrant himself dared to push his way in on official IHCofC business!

Shaun's just been busy lately, I can relate, I have 2 term papers due next week...

But when he gets back I shall be declared champion!!! :D

(And I beat a certified master at the art of escape. That's got to be worth bonus points :D )

[Purrcilla Dekat]

Well mew did send 5000 pizzas in another thread. Meur comrads memay become suspicious.

[Flannel Avenger]

*bump*

[Sir Shaun]

It is my decree that the flannel avenger is indeed the one whom finished this duel.

However at this time we canot present him with a title as for the following reasons...

1: this was not a real duel for championship so no titles were at stake
2: He is still being tried on the charges of attempted destruction of the IHCofC and the SSIRA.
2.1: For this reason we will not be giving him any awards untill the conclusion of the trial

[Flannel Avenger]

Trying to coerce me back into the trail through my desire to be awarded victory! That is a low blow!

[Sir Shaun]

We are not coerceing and besides you are already in the trial (not trail) as you were captured and chained to the desk so you can't escape.
Signed,
Sir Shaun

and if we were coercing you you would know. We are merely stating the facts. It's like when charges were once filed against scarecrow for some reason (don't remember what at the moment) we temporarily stopped his being champion of the board untill the completion of the trial.

[Flannel Avenger]

Originally posted by The Scarecrow
I must regretfully decline entering this tournament.

The reason is as follows.
If I were to enter there is a chance I would win which means I would be next in line to challenge myself and I know I could never defeat myself in a challenge so the duel would never win and I would remain champion forever and nobody would be allowed to challenge me.

Because of this I decline to enter this tournament.

Signed,
The Scarecrow

let it be known a lesser champion would have entered to garuntee their reign as champion for all eternity...

Not a real duel for the championship?? The victor of this duel gets to challenge for the championship. I move that reason number 1 be nullified per this new evidence.

Additionally, I am not being tried for attempting to destroy the IHCofC or SSIRA. I stand accused of attempting to oust the Scarecrow and replace him with myself. You should know this, you are the judge. Based on this evidence, I move that reason number 2 be thrown out.

[Flannel Avenger]

Sir Shaun, since you have pardoned me, can I be declared victor now?

[Flannel Avenger]

*bump*

*coughDeclareMeVictorOfTheDuelcough*

[The Scarecrow]

you ought to be more carefull of what you ask...

technicalitites work both ways...though I suppose I ought not tell you this as Sir Shaun ought to be the one to tell you...

Signed,
SC

[Sir Shaun]

request denies and you already know one of the reason why...

or at least you should though your memory is fleeting and you often forget things of great importance too soon...

the second reason has yet to be made known but if you think yourself good with nonsense you ought to be able to peace it together...

Signed,
Sir Shaun
Supreme CHancellor of the IHCofC

[Flannel Avenger]

I am the victor of this duel. All can clearly see that.

Flannel = Winner.

I also get to challenge for the title of board champion.

[Sir Shaun]

not so...

it is well known that Ilgwamh is the equivolent of Winner.

SO then Flannel cannot equal winner at all.

One of the great laws of the Wacky World states that Ilgwamh = Winner and I bvelieve it also had a Flannel = Loser clause but I don't know for sure...

Anyway the request was denied and my word as Supreme Chancellor is final.

[Flannel Avenger]

I DEMAND JUSTICE!!

[InvisaChick]

As this is still an open duel people could still enter it. As rules state.


Oppps. Did I just say that out loud? :angel:

[Flannel Avenger]

I suppose the Supreme Chancellor could let you in, but I doubt he is inclined to do so.

[Sir Shaun]

and whom are you to think you may speek for the will of the Supreme Chancellor not to mention the consolate alone?

[Flannel Avenger]

:stinkeye:


There is no pleasing you, is there??

[The Scarecrow]

it's hard to be the Supreme Chancellor...

I would suggest you try doing SHauns job bgut you'd no doubt fire everyone disban the consolate and declare yourself overlord of nonsense and we can't have that happening so I won't suggest it at all...

Anyway
off to english I must go...

[Flannel Avenger]

:angel:
