SOCK 2
Extraordinary Emblem
January 23, 2008
TARGET NEXT DAY: Monday, January 28

That extra-special day that only happens once per year is arriving quickly, and I hope you all have it marked down on your calendars. Yes, it's myyyy birthday on Sunday, and I expect presents to help me forget that I'm going to be a quarter of a century old. That is a lot of oldness... one more of these and I'll likely have silver streaks through my hair, a few deep wrinkles, and a preoccupation with saving up for a pension. It is NOT funny.

Anyway, you'll notice that the next update isn't until next Monday. This is because birthday festivities take priority over your desire to gain seventy levels in as few moves as possible; you'll just have to wait.

Unfortunately, the contest IS closed to new participants, and it has been for awhile. This is just a continuation of the contest that began back last May, linked through my Q&A columns. I apologize; thank you for your interest, and thank you also for your understanding! Perhaps there will be a future contest for you to get involved with.

Today's Tips:

  • My favourite colours are orange and red. I like money, chocolate, video games, video game systems, and expensive cars. For my mailing address, please contact me by the usual way. Thank you, and I'm totally kidding.
  • For those of you turned to Stone today, it was immediate, and your actions were unsuccessful, I'm afraid...

Me, me, me, me, me. Me! Me.



Hmmm...

The strange door awaits...

#193:
b) The first Final Fantasy game to be released on four CDs (150 Points)
The first Final Fantasy game to be released on four CDs was Final Fantasy VIII, and that also happens to be the only game of the series to use quite untraditional 5-beat time in its main battle theme. I was extremely surprised to see exactly how many people decided to go with option a (or FFVII) on this one; the battle music for that game is definitely set in your everyday four-beat time. Doubting my fourteen years of piano training, I even consulted my friend/ex-RPGamer staffer Ben (some of you might know him as Desh) and he was in total agreement with me. Sooooo, that's that.

Submission Form


Honesty is important! Don't spoil the game. Keep in mind that masqueraders will be obvious, since two submissions under the same name will cause me to fire an e-mail to the true competitor based on my records, where I can verify their actions. Anybody caught cheating in this manner will be immediately removed from the competition!

Please fill out your nickname and your actions for the day! Place your answer choices in the respective boxes (don't worry about being precise with wording or anything), and write your action in the action box. You can equip or unequip stuff once per day without taking your action up, too. Examples of actions could be "I want to attack Li'l Ant!" or "I want to buy two Eye Dropses!" or "I want to buy a Wood Sword and Smelling Salts, and I want to equip the Wood Sword!"
