TARGET NEXT DAY: Thursday, January 31
|
So, birthday was great! Cheesecake is also great. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, though, is fantastically great, and I'm enjoying it at least as much as I did Fire Emblem for the GBA (and I enjoyed that game immensely). The difficulty level is PERFECT, the storyline is substantial, the gameplay is top-notch, and the whole package is altogether some other positive adjective that I refuse to use a thesaurus to find.
Yes, many competitors are reading this from inside petrified little statues. If you have claustrophobia, I apologize. Blame the evil Kharamain, not me. Eh, I guess that when someone is in Level a billion, you can expect wrath of some kind to occur. The game, however, is not over yet...
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:
- Obviously, many of you have realized by this point that NOT answering trivia questions will prevent you from falling into one of Kharamain's Trivia Traps. I guess that calls into question one thing: Is it worth answering the questions? Well, that's your call. If you absolutely know beyond the shadow of a doubt that your answer is correct, then you won't have to worry about whatever might be in store.
On with a new day...
The strange door awaits...

#195:
e) The one who is in a guild of his own. (600 Experience)
Slashlen, sole member of The One, was not a competitor in the first, primitive, silly old SOCK. Just so you know.
#196:
d) Secret of Mana (400 Points)
Well done, everyone! Almost everyone answered this right- the screenshot was a blown-up image of Neko's ears. As we all may know, Neko is the random cat-merchant that exists everywhere in the world of Secret of Mana.

#197:
Which of the following dishes would most certainly be a favourite of Ike's? (500 Points)
a) Lamb Vindaloo
b) Vegetable Ratatouille
c) Lobster Bisque
d) Chocolate Fondue with Raspberries
e) Roast Rabbit with a salt crust
#198:
If one of the Animated Construct members was actually the character from Shining Force with the same name, what would be special about them?
(400 Points)
a) They would be a dragon.
b) They would be robotic.
c) They would be a really difficult-to-defeat boss.
d) They would first appear in Chapter 3.
e) They would be able to equip any weapon.
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!"
