Well, all in all i was pretty pleased with the amount of people that responded....i did push a lot, but hey, thanks guys.

Here is how this will work, i'll post everyone's name who participated along with their total points. Because this is the first week, your total points = the points from this week, but in the future, points from the current week will only be shown in parentheses. I'll just go and this will become more clear (hopefully).

A "C" point is a correct response while an "h" point is a humorous response.

Anita_Blake: 10 (10=3 H, 3 C, 2 for AB #4, 2 for AB #3)
Jojo: 6 (6=2 H, 2 C, 2 for AB #1)
supuradam: 5 (5=1 H, 2 C, 2 for AB #1)
Cypher: 4 (4=3 H, 1 C)
Malcor Sylverwood: 4 (4=3 H, 1 C)
wendy: 4 (4=2 H, 1 C, 1 bonus point for constructive criticism )
Amelia Sedai: 3 (3=1 H, 2 C)
Arawis: 3 (3=1 H, 1 C, 1 bonus for being the very first to play)
Byrn: 3 (3=2 C)
LaughingTurtle: 3 (3=1 H, 2 C)
radarofpolo: 3 (3=3 C)
Nightfairy: 2 (2=1 H, 1 C)
Mike: 2 (2=2 C)
mindphone: 2 (2=1 H, 1 C)
Mithrandir: 2 (2=2 C)

Here are the answers and samples....

Question 1: Congrats to all of you for getting this one correct....in some sense of the word...it seems that some of the europeans think a chick flick has to have hot chicks in it, so i gave it to them...both jojo and supur get the best, jojo's because it is hilarious, and sd because he had the funniest accurate answer.

Jojo: a "chick flick" is a game played in morocco, in which baby chickens are tossed from one teammate to the next from one side of a playing field to another, the ultimate goal being to toss, or "flick" in local vernacular, the chick into a basket gaurded by the other team.

supuradam: a chick flick has to have all of the following elements: a. it has to have some mainstream, "hot" guy, who other guys in the planet think is gay b. it also has to have some attractive girl(s), so this way younger girls will know what they should be when they get older c. it has to have a bunch of crappy, and also sappy (they rhyme) music either left over from the 80's, or that some phreak has written specifically to be used in a "chick flick" d. the plot has to be completely obvious based on just previews of the movie only.... i think that covers it... oh yeah, also the plot just sucks. and there's never enough nudity or violence...

Some runners up were....

LT: A movie is defined as a chic flick in that unless your gf/wife/female friend did not want to see it and desire your persence, you wouldn't today even know there was a ship named Titanic.

wendy: a lovely bubbly happy feeling that reaffirms your belief that your search for "Mr Right" isn't a useless pipe dream.

Malcor: Um, any movie that I won't admit to getting me misty-eyed. What, did I say that? I pity da foo...

Anita: Chick Flick: Crappy, Horrendous, Insipid, Check-reality-at-the-door, Kill-me-now, Fucking, Lame-Ass, Intellectual-wannabe, Crack-pot, Kisses-will-solve-all-your-problems....eg. um, i don't know, cause i don't watch chick flicks.

Question 2:Nobody really got this question correct, but i gave a lot to vague, half correct answers. I didn't ask what movie it was, but what the ending of the movie was. Technically, someone could have said the credits and been right....but what i was looking for was that Zorro gets King Arthur's crown...

Question 3: Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, the numbers of people who got this one wrong are astounding for a site about wot...oh well...it is the jendai prophecy. Here's anita's AB but incorrect answer.

Anita: what prophecy? their infinite vision to the future where they saw Billy Corgan rising up out of the cooramoor's ashes to write the greatest and best song in the world? Or the one where they saw the whole skywalker ranch thing and just didn't get it. Or was it the one where all the fish in the sea get caught in the beard of the Creator (aka, RJ) and everyone starves and dies except the beard? Please clarify the question. I mean, they've got to have a dozen prophecies. Like i have time to know them all. I only know the main ones.

Question 4: As anyone who can count should be able to see, there were 15 participants this time. I gave correct answer points to people who were the closest or most inventive (radar) Here again Anita took the AB and was actually quite close.

Anita: Approximately 13.7564 people. One of whom will be imaginary. Another of whom will be a dwarf of some kind, two others from an alternate wotism who have gotten trapped in our dimension and think answering the WTP is the way to get back home, another of which is an alien and therefor only counts as .0645 of a person, and one person who is famous and hence counts as 2 people, and possibly RJ's beard, which potentially counts as 1.32 people. find the difference, and if i'm wrong, sue me. i think you'll agree, i'm right.

Runner up...

radar: 10 +- the number needed to be correct

LT also got a point for this with 13.

=========================================

Okay, there's the results of week one, it seems anita has run away with it for now, but i'll be posting up new questions some time tonight, so be ready! Thanks for playing, even if you didn't really like it/want to. :D

May 1st, 2003, 21:37

Okay, here are the next questions, due September 22, that's sunday for me people, where as today is tues. So you have less than a week. I needed to either shorten or lengthen it because i want to do this on sundays.

Question 1: How many neck vertebrae do three-toed sloths possess? Bonus: What this number of vertebrae enable the sloth to do?

Question 2: What song does this quote start? "A Long long time ago..."

Question 3: What are you better at than me anywhere any time?

Question 5: What happened to question #4?

Well, that does it for this week's WTP, hope to see your responses soon!

May 1st, 2003, 21:41

That time has come again....apparently a tad to early for some of you....not as many repeaters as i would have liked, but some new blood in the mix, so that's good. This is, at the very least, a chance for some of you to catch up or get ahead of people who neglected to play...

Names in green are new players...red are those that failed to play...

Anita_Blake: 16 (6=4 H, 2 C)
supuradam: 12 (7=3 H, 4 C, 2 for AB #5)
Cypher: 10 (6=2 H, 4 C)
mindphone: 9 (7=3 H, 1 C, 1 for first response, 2 for AB #3)
wendy: 9 (5=4 H, 1 C)
Ulk: 8 (8=3 H, 3 C, 2 for AB #1)
Arawis: 7 (4=4 H)
Byrn: 7 (4=2 H, 2 C)
LaughingTurtle: 7 (3=2 H, 2 C)
Mike: 7 (5=1 H, 4 C)
Jojo: 6 (0)

Question 1: Well, many people gave the correct answer of 9 for this question, and for the bonus, it was because having 9 gives them more flexibility. No fewer than 8 of you mentioned auto-fellatio or made some innuendo to that effect...I gave you the bonus point (included in correct answers) if you mentioned something about flexability. Ulk took the AB prize in this one.

Ulk: 1. The three-toed sloth has 9 neck vertebrae, which gives it extreme flexibility, able to turn its head a full 270 degrees. This is ideal for avoiding face killings, making it able to avoid any face killing except that of an expert face killer. Of course, this gives most wotists total dominion over the race of sloths, and eventually will allow wotists complete world domination.... cant get into details, but its going to involve tiny ants, really big scissors, and microscopic lego men.

Some runners up were....

Anita: 9. the extra 2 vertabrae allow the sloths to wiggle their bottoms enthusiastically when subjected to "The Macarena". It also helps in their mating process, often making the male partner to appear to have larger apparatus than he actually does, and since virtually all male 3-toed sloths are homosexually oriented, it makes the females of the species far more appealing, as the additional vertebrae extend to make a kind of nubby, penile 'tail'. It also grants them the super power of flight, though researchers haven't been able to figure out why.

wendy: I don't know, but I know they have less toes than travis does on one foot.

Question 2:Here we have a bit of a problem...the song I was thinking of was American Pie - Don McLean, and there were a few others that I knew to be correct as well, but two I had no idea, so i'm appealing the masses and will award belated points if they are considered correct...if you wish to participate in this vote, you must complete next week's WTP. No clear AB in this category.

Question 3: Congrats to all of you people who are good at bowling, doing backflips off of fourstory buildings, finding cool avys, being immortal gods, playing the xylophone, speaking dutch, and/or being evil or silly. Players should note that it is not generally a good idea to insult the judge. Also, if you said you were better at being lazy, you were just wrong, period. Here is your best and some good runner ups.

mindphone: #3 - anywhere anytime? ahhh muthafucka you knows i could beat yo' bitch ass in lawn-muthafuckin'-bowling. damn nza, i be from the ol'school an' if you an' yo' fake as clique eva try ta get up in this bitch an' challenge me an' muh crew ta some lawn bowling you knows we be blowin' yo' ass out of tha water. bitch, i've beat mo' fake ass foo's at lawn bowling then i've bussed ones in playas' fo'heads. shizzat, i gotta drink me a mo'fuckin 4-0 ta cool tha fizzuck dizzown. dizzam.

Runner ups....

Anita: purple watermelon orange-ing over a sky filled with rains of toads while navigating the good ship lollipop out of certain danger and into the happy land of benevolent munchkins, all this while doing a modelling shoot in a bikini, while flirting with colin farrell and signing my books for all my adoring fans. In conjuction with giving to the poor and solving world hunger after cleaning my cats litter box and tapping into the mystical energies of the psychic realm.

Byrn: 3.Well I am better at being me, although I suck at being me, myself. So what does this say about you?

Supuradam: 3) i'm better at nipple biting/sucking and sticking people's head up my asses. i'm also better... at... anything else. yeah, that's it.

Question 5: I got some really inventive answers for this one, but nobody got it correct by simply saying that i felt like skipping it. :p Quite a few people decided #4 was eaten...Anyway, best and other notables. Supur captured the best simply for the Mike's basement crack, sorry to all the other great ones, you couldn't top that.

Supuradam: 5) question 4.... it's a) trapped in mike's basement b) you forgot and want to make everyone think that you were clever and that there really was no question 4 to begin with c) it jumped off of the bridge that everyone else was jumping off of

Runner ups..

Arawis: 5) The #4 gnomes came by earlier this week in a conspicuous black van. they stopped in front of your house and tip-toed to the door in their little black suits and masks. they were in your computer for quite a while....not that i would know any of this....its not liek im stalking you or keeping watch on our house or anything..........

Johan: 5)'Nothing' happened to question 4 it just disguised itself as question 5 in order to infiltrate the very depths of our society with the intent of taking it over and proclaiming itself Lord Protecter of the Forums and Emperor of all Wotism. Fortunatly I was here and uncovered its secret plot before anything could happen. You owe me one guys.

Mike:It's been killed in the face for insolence

One final note on #5....what the hell does Byrn mean by this answer?

Byrn:5. 7 8 4....

=========================================

Thanks for playing! If you think i screwed up your score (entirely within the realm of possibility) let me know and i'll check it.

Okay, so last night sucked....i typed out the questions not once, but twice, with the same result of my internet explorer giving me an error message and then closing itself.... :furious: Let's see if it will work today....

Due - either September 29 or whenever i get to it....which might possibly be later than september 29, but not before.

Question 1: Continuation from last week:Do you think i should give credit to the responses "Long Time Ago, by Eek a Mouse" and "DJ Galaga vs Da Cloot - What do you say to the dj?" for question #2 from last week? Give me a good reason.

Question 2: What does the following say: KART 230246Z AUTO VRB03KT 5SM BR BKN055 OVC070 19/18 A2983 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT E AND SE TSB0158E13B25E33B34E40RAE10 P0000 (SPECI) ?

Question 3: Which option is better for the WTP....making points cumulative or making it a weekly contest where everyone goes back to zero for the new one? Tell me why I should do what you say, or, if you'd like, give me an alternate system that you think would work better.

Question 4: What was Sir Isaac Newton's driving motivation behind his work? This question is obviously debatable, back your answer up.....with whatever you want. :D

Well, go to it!

Well then, a monumental week in the land of WTP. Being forced to complete this at this time by LT and MP, those of you who didn't get a chance to play should talk to them. I was hoping to stretch this a long as possible to get the most number of players, but whatever.

Due to the nature of the questions this week, the format is going to be a little different. Points last.

===============
Answers and Samples
===============

Question 1: Sorry LTT and Mith, but put up to the people, you get no points for this question. The wotists have spoken. The best goes jointly to Ulk and LT. Mainly because NF said i have a cruel streak and i'm trying to prove her wrong. :p

Ulk: 1. NO you shouldn't give credit to those responses. they were both insolent, and deserving of death... this death could be doled out in two ways 1) a stern face killing and 2) something that makes it look like suicide... probably involving feathers, a chicken, and a *plump* goose

LT: 1) No you should not give credit, because you don’t give credit where it isn't due. The fact that I haven't even heard of either song is inconsequential. They both look like songs that if you have heard them, you should immediately be escorted out into the street out on a little red radio flyer wagon and quasi mocked and semi applauded for your funky music taste. In addition, what's done is done, ashes to ashes dust to dust, it only hurts more to remember the scares of the past...move on, have heart, you'll win next time.

Question 2:Okay, I didn't expect any of you to get this right, but buckweet impressed me by giving the best vague answer which was closer than any other one by far. The real answer to this is complicated, so here goes.

At KART (watertown international airport in New York) on the 23rd at 2:46 zulu (GMT) the weather was automatic reported as variable at 3 knots, visibility is 5 statute miles because of mist, cloud layer is Broken at 5500 feet agl and Overcast at 7000 feet agl, temperature is 19C dewpoint is 18 C, the pressure is 29.83 inches of mercury. Remarks are it was done by an AWOS2 unit, lightning distant between East and South East, Thunderstorm begain at 1:58, ended 13 past the hour, begain again at 25 past the hour, ended at 33 past, begain 34 and ended at 40 past, rain ended at 10 past the hour, no measurable precipitation, and it was a special issue.

There you go. I got this from one of my friends who is in the flight program at Purdue. He has to know this stuff....crazy. Anyway, your best was.... *tadaa* Buckweet. I feel it necessary to give a couple bonus points for a really difficult question.

Buck: I’ll take a wild gander but I believe it has something to do with the weather center and its code.

Question 3: Okay, this question is quite important to the WTP and discussion will be saved for last. The best goes to Mindphone for giving me a system i like and only had to modify a tad. Runner up points to Ulk, supuradam and mithrandir for stating nearly the same system, except with less detail.

Question 4: The answers to this question were great, applauds all around people. The answer that was generally accepted in at least my history of science course was Newton's religious zeal and drive to find evidence for God. Apparently his private papers that weren't published during his time, but much more recently show this. Something like that anyway, i tend to fall asleep in that class. Too early in the morning. Best answer was Nightfairy. She pulled out the big guns for this answer.

NF: "Newton was modest, diffident, and a man of simple tastes." Just like a certain archely I know.... No seriously, his driving motivation was a unicycle. He was riding his unicycle around in his orchard when an apple fell from a tree, and his unicycle faltered as it had run into its path, poor Isaac was thrown and fell head over heels down the hill, when he finally rested at the base of the hill, he began to ponder the falling; his falling, the apples' falling, the pull of the moon on the apple and God's pull on the moon and on the powers of all nature, especially apples. Mmmmm..... apples.

Runner ups..

LT: 4) The woman of course! For what other reason does man work? This may get rather risqué so lemme put it in er uh different terms….For example, when Newton made up his laws of motion, all he really was doing was coming up with an excuse to get himself laid! Law 1 –An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. “Damnit woman I ain’t done yet, just five more min.”
Law 2 – F(force)=m(mass)a(acceleration) heh, me thinks I don’t have to explain this one use your imagination…or just ask any ladie
Law 3 – For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction…think 69

Ulk: 4. Newton's main motivation was that he wanted to learn why things did what they did. For instance, why a cannon ball could achieve greatest distance when the cannon was angled at a 45 degree angle, or why only the ugly girls wanted him. He discovered the reasons for these, on the way developing calculus, and also discovering that seals, while apparently slippery, make great lovers.

Mith:Question 4; what do you think... what would you do when you can't chat/post on wotism.net and there are no televisions around to watch and no pc's to game on...
You would investigate why the apple 'from above' falls on ur head and not higher in the sky.... *DOH* *Narf*

=========================================

Okay, now back to discussing the general arrangement of the WTP. This is the system, you can give credit to mindphone for most of it.

Each week will have a winner for that week in which points will not be cumulative. For instance, this week Ulk and LT won by point value. If you don't play a certain week, you have no chance of winning in that week.

However, points will also be cumulative for those of you that actually take the time (short time!) to play each week. Each cumulative season will last for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, a Champion will be named and they will have an entire post (yippee right? :rolleyes: ) dedicated to highlights of their win. Depending on how long this thing lasts, i may have a Grand Champion after that as well, but i'm still thinking about that. You'll notice the subject line says "WTP Results: 1.3" That is week 3 of season 1.

I'm adopting this system because I really like the cumulative point thing, however, i'd also like new people to feel welcome to play. This way, if someone is new, they only have to wait a max of 6 weeks before they can get into the cumulative competition, and they still have a chance to win in a single week. Thanks again to those of you i mentioned above who contributed to this system.

Example points:
archely: 9 (2, 3, 4{1,2}*) [23]
Where 9=points this week, 2=C, 3=H, 4=AB for questions 1 and 2.
*=first response of the week and 1 bonus point
[23] = total cumulative points in this season.

Players will be posted according to highest points in the single week, and then alphabetically.

Your co-winners this week are Ulk and LT! Way to GO!

Ulk: 7 (0,4,3{1,3}) [15]
LaughingTurtle: 7 (0,4,2{1}*) [14]
mindphone: 6 (1,3,2{3}) [15]
Buckweet: 5 (2, 1, 2{2}) [5]
supuradam: 4 (1, 2, 1 {3}) [11]
Mithrandir: 3 (0, 3) [9]
nightfairy: 3 (0,3,2{4}) [5]

May 1st, 2003, 21:47

Well, here are some questions for version 1.4 of the WTP...i hope to see many players who have been absent start playing again. Especially since the rule change.

Due - either October 7 or whenever i get to it....

Question 1: What product should I boycott? Why? Please include brand.

Question 2: Tell me a question you'd like to see on upcoming episodes of the WTP. Cheap, i know, but i make the rules.

Question 3: How should we go about solving world hunger?

Question 4: Name the movie and character for this quote: "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing. "

Question 5: What is the most viable source of alternate energy? Why?

This seems to be the save the world edition...but go to it anyway. :p

May 1st, 2003, 21:48

Well, here i am doing the WTP....only a day or so late. Oh well, at least i had a good excuse. I think i like the format of having points last....at least i can pretend you are kept in some sort of suspense.

===============
Answers and Samples
===============

Question 1: You guys came up with some really great stuff on this one...sorry though, i have to give the best to Byrn, just because i think it's hilarious. A few close seconds that missed by a razor thin margin.

Byrn: 1:Lego's. The continual purchase of lego's supports Uk's Unholy army. He must be stopped.

Close Seconds:

LT: 1) Anything Apple. Why? Cause apples suck ass. I think it was you who (or maybe BW or adam) who was forced to use one to view wotism. They are the devil's tools and are abominations of this earth and should only be used as tools to gauge who needs to be winnowed out of the human race for either A) being too stupid to use a regular PC or B) is too snobby/uppity to use a regular PC or lastly C) has too much money and doesn't know what to spend it on so they spend it on a lame ass expensive as hell mac.

QT: I’m not sure … but I’ll tell you what you SHOULDN’T boycott, the Mr. T action figure! It’s helluva tough!

Question 2:Well, here i had some great answers, but i'll have to keep you in the dark on what the best was. Half a best (1 point) goes out to buck, LTT, Ulk and mith, for all your questions will be used in some future week. Good work guys. Sorry for the point reduction, but i just couldn't see giving out 8 points for one question, i'm sure you'll agree 1 is better than none if i had selected just one of you, and you not knowing if it was going to be you. :p

Question 3: Tsk Tsk Tsk, how many cannibals do we have here at Wotism? All i have to say is wow and i'll take some ribs. Anyway, best here goes to Johan for answering seriously and making me hang my head in shame at using this question in such a frivolous manner as the WTP.

Johan: 3)This subject is far too complex for the short space here, however I have written essays on the subject and in basic terms a lot depends on the leaders of those countries who are starving and are pften corrupt keeping all the wealth for themselves, as well as most bilateral and multilateral aid. aid from ngos can have an effect although it is often minimal, sustainable schemes and education of people is needed so they can help themselves and that is i can be bothered to write. it is a complex and emotive issue

Question 4: This answer had two correct answer points associated with it, actually the only two obtainable this week as all of the other questions were subjective in nature. I don't give correct points if there is no clear right answer. Anyway, the two points possible were character and movie. It was Boromir in LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring. I hate to be a jackass, but if you said simply LotR, you didn't get the second point. Specify people, there are other LotR movies than FotR. Best goes out to Anita, who managed to make me laugh even though she insulted He-man. Just don't let it happen again. :grumbles:

Anita: Lord of the rings, Boromir, referring to the ring. but it should have been He-Man, in Masters of The universe, referring to his penis.

Runner up..

Ulk: 4. That would be Boromir in Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. He is clearly talking about the size of the monkey about to attack him, which he is promptly killed by. Weird how he was so calm before getting his face and genitles eaten off... maybe he had some secret tiny scissors up his sleave or something, i dunno.

Question 5: Again i see repetition in answers...it seems wotists like the nuclear (it's pronounced nukalur) energy source. Best is Ulk with his euphoria.

Ulk: 5. Wind is the most viable source of alternate energy. This is because when large armies of flying chimps take over the world in the near future (this is very common knowledge) they will create a lot of wind energy. Once we wotists harness this energy, i think we'll be the only ones left alive on the earth. Which isnt exactly a bad thing, cos all the girls would flock to me and arch. We'd be in some sort of constant sexual euphoria, and there aint nothin wrong with that!!

=========================================

Example points (will be shown as if I have achieved max points):
archely: 18 (2, 5, 10{1,2,3,4,5}*!) [64,4]
The number after 64, (which i believe is accurate for the total points possible so far...) 4, is the number of weekly wins a person has. The exclamation point represents obtaining a point for including my name in the subject of my PM, if you did that you got an extra point for paying attention to the rules.

Players will be posted according to highest points in the single week, and then alphabetically.

Your winner this week is Ulk! Way to GO!
Again with the winning...can't anyone stop the lego army? Maybe the boycott will help a bit... :rolleyes: :p

Ulk: 10 (2,4,3{2,5}!) [25,3]
Anita_Blake: 6 (1,3,2{4}) [22,1]
Buckweet: 6 (1, 3, 1{2}!) [10]
Byrn: 6 (1,3,2{1}) [15]
Lews Therin: 6 (2,2,1{2}!) [12]
Mithrandir: 5 (2,1,1{2}!) [14]
Quirky Template: 5 (1,4) [5]
LaughingTurtle: 4 (1,3) [18,1]
Johan: 5 (0,2,2{3}!) [12]
Lord Darius: 3 (0,2,*) [3]

Amelia Sedai: 0 (0) [5]
Arawis: 0 (0) [7]
Cypher: 0 (0) [10]
Jojo: 0 (0) [6]
Malcor Sylverwood: 0 (0) [4]

radarofpolo: 0 (0) [3]
supuradam: 0 (0)[11]

Well, that should be it for this week's results. Again, if i screwed up something, please let me know. :D I seem to do that every week.... :rolleyes:

sir archely

May 1st, 2003, 21:49

Well, here we go again...

Due - not sure yet...definitely not before sunday, it depends on responses. plan on being done by sunday, because i might do it then.....

Question 1: What's the most disgusting thing you've seen/can think of?

Question 2: What's the meaning of life the universe and everything? Excluding 42 please.

Question 3: Question No. 2 is the first of our submitted questions from last week. Give me the name of the person who submitted it. If it is yours, don't tell unless you'd like others to get points from you. Also, if it is yours, you cannot obtain a point for this question unless you give me a really really great answer. Sorry, that's the price of getting one from last week. It just wouldn't be fair.

Question 4: When you die, how would you like your body to be disposed? If anyone says the same thing
as me, it's automatic archely's best.

**Extra Question:What would you give the WTP for a rating on a scale from 1-10? 1 being lowest and 10 being highest. Rate it on whatever you like, format, questions, whatever. What could i improve about it?

The extra question is only there for some feeback. It won't count for points, so only answer if you want to. If you've already submitted, don't worry about it, again only if you want to.

Go to it!

Here you are, as promised, only a day late...next week's will be due for sure Sunday night...Oct. 20th...unless i get lazy again...

Question 1: Ewww...i should have thought better of asking this question. You got a correct point for this one if i felt your answer was gross. Best to Amelia and Buck (aww, isn't that cute?). I think you'll see why.

Amelia: 1. The holocaust. Thats the most disgusting thing I can think of and I havent seen anything that is as disgusting or could see anything as disgusting. Dont think I really need to explain

Buck:this was a REAL experience at work. I used to work at this diner back home and years ago when I was 20 this hapened. An old guy who went by the name Harold..I think wore an old-guy diaper and always smelled. ..REAL REAL bad. We used to fght over lunch-breaks whenever he came. Anyway/...long story short he wen to the bathroom one time... and we noticed (not right away mind you) ... that there was a trail of liquidy pooo going from the booth he was in all the way to the bathroom. I swear an oath on it as a warder to the hottie Amelia

Close Seconds: (why is LT always so close, yet so far? well, it does make my copy/paste job easier... :p)

LT: 1) I'm sorry Ulk, but the Man Train has to be one of the most digusting things I've ever heard of. Just the idea of a bunch of guys, together with their hands on each other, going "Choo-choo" and saying "get on the man train" is just downright disturbing. This has nothing to do with the fact that Ulk won last weeks WTP, no, none at all.

Anita:I have a vivid imagination, with many vile and disgusting things being possible. It's very difficult to deduce a MOST disgusting, but my parents having sex ranks pretty damn high. And YOUR parents having sex!

Question 2:Good answers here...best to Arawis, i think you'll all agree.

Arawis: DUH! its wotism partys!!!! ~throws confetti and dances around while blowing on a hornblower~

Question 3: Well....only one person got the correct point for this question...it was Buck who submitted. Best goes to LT, mostly because i think if i don't throw him a bone he'll cry. :p And people people...if they didn't get a point for submitting a question i used...how could it be their question?

LT: 3) Normally I would have said Quirky, but after reading that he didn't get a point for the question you obviously didn't use his idea. So with that, I'd have to go with Buckweet. (if it turns out in fact to be Ulks, mark my words - There won't be an unkilled face left in sight!)

Runner Up....Sorry buck, couldn't give you the best for your name...but the flexing earns you a runner up spot...

Buck:Hmmm... I dont know how I can make the answer "Buckweet" any greater I mean .... it's Buckweet, me ..the big cheese, the Big Gonzo himself!! Oh wait that is a good answer !! I am the answer. I am the man.
~flexes his scrawny arms~

Question 4: Well, thinking seriously , I would like to donate my organs and be thrown in the woods somewhere...however, what i think would be a really cool way to go, would be to be cremated, and then have my remains shot off in a big firework somewhere. Nobody else put that...oh well. A lot of you are apparently immortal...good luck with that. Best to sd for secret passages and pajamas...

Supuradam: 4) i want to be buried in a mausoleum that's really scary, with secret passages, and i'll have my own sarcophagus. and i want to get shamans and voodoo people to put spells on my tomb so that if anyone disturbs it i'll come back to life as a revenant. but i have to be buried in pajamas. i mean, if you're sleeping forever, you might as well be comfortable.

Runner up...just because i'm confused by it...

Ulk: 4. Personally, i'd like to be ass sexed to death. I'm not sure if its possible, but i think a hot girl with a strap-on might be able to ass sex my body into tiny particles, which then could be blown out the window. Failing to find a hot girl with a strap-on, a mal-tempered mongoose might do the trick (as something to strap on to the hot girl, cos anything else would be kind of weird)

=========================================

Example points (will be shown as if I have achieved max points):
archely: 16 (2, 4, 8{1,2,3,4}*!) [80,5]
the key goes like this.... 16=weekly points (correct answer points, humorous answer points, AB points {questions for which you got the AB for}) [total points, number of weeks you have won] *=first response !=you put your name in the subject line.

Players will be posted according to highest points in the single week, and then alphabetically. Unless you didn't play, then it's just a mish-mash of names, because i don't feel the need to work at alphabetizing them if you didn't work at playing. :p

Your winners this week are Arawis and supuradam!! Way to GO!
Tsk tsk...LT would have been in the winner's circle had he just included his name in the subject of his PM...well, that'll learn ya.

Arawis: 8 (1,4,2{2}!) [15,1]

IMPORTANT: Buck had a very good idea...he wants more reward for winning than simply points...sooo....each week the champion's name will be present in my sig, and will stay there until there is a new weekly champion. The WTP Grand Champion (winner of a six week season) will be present until they are unseated...six weeks later. Good luck!

Here i go again on my own...This week's questions are rated...um...we'll say R, to err on that side...

And the mighty have fallen, apparently Ulk just wasn't trying last week, but he's still on top of the total point score. Remember, this is the last week before points go back to zero, so it's your last chance to try and top Ulk.

Due Sun. Oct. 20th...maybe....unless i'm lazy.

Question 1: Why are the wot girls so dead sexy? And for the bonus point, who submitted this question?

Question 2: What's the best sex toy to buy? Why?

Question 3: What's the best name for a porn star and porn? You know, like "Long Dong Silver starring in King Dong" If it's real, and you prove it (ie, by link or something) you'll get a correct point for this question. Please, no obscene porn links...just needs to have the name...

Question 4: Give me two easy ways to reduce the cost of having an apartment. Whatever you can think of.

Well, we had the "save the world" themed WTP...i figured we'd go the other way this week....
Go to it!

sir archely

May 1st, 2003, 22:05

Well, the chat pressured me into doing this, so here it is...the final episode in WTP's first season.

===============
Answers and Samples
===============

Question 1: Okay, first off, this question was submitted by Ulk...i'm surprised that only one person managed to guess this...and wow, trying to come up with a best for this question was tough. Therefore, there is no best. Some highlights.....check out these two ass kissers...The sucking up was a good idea though. :D

Ulk: 1. The wot girls are so dead sexy because of the sheer handsomeness of me and arch. With the wot picture page, all the ugos simply leave when they see the league of goodlookingness they're playing in. Now, i realize there's some less than handsome guys but i'm pretty sure the girls overlook them when they see the drop-dead-sexiness of us two. Our plan of constant sexual euphoria has come to fruitation!! ALL FEMALES FLOCK TO US! ~passes out~ Oh, and i submitted the question, cos i'm sure no one knows the true reason but me and arch. ~nods and winks a lot~

LT:1)I'm guessing LTT.... submitted this question.*sigh* Anyway the reason behind WOW's being so damn sexy is the simple fact of MOW. So many hot, sexy, awesome woman come to wotism because they are attracted to the many hot, manly men here at wotism. Case and point - Ulk, he's a vernable sexy bitch god; Mike, the devilish dutchman, Archley - who wouldn't lust after a guy with a unicycle? Beowulf - he's uh mysterious; Verbatum - he's tall, dark, and well two out of three ain't bad (j/k ver, don't kill me )
Close Seconds: (why is LT always so close, yet so far? well, it does make my copy/paste job easier... :p)

Question 2:Interesting people...one person in particular is going to have some splainin' to do about how a pumpkin is sexy.....anyway, best jointly to nf and LT....LT for humor, nf with best real toy...one bonus point to amelia for a tasteful answer. I have to say, LT's unicycle answer is possibly one of the best responses out of all of them. Not even for the sucking up!

Nightfairy: I'm going to say... wrist and ankle restraints, cause they can be used by either partner & because they promote a sense of sexual trust & encourage creativity between partners

LT: 2) The best sex toy to buy would naturally be a unicycle. First off, you can ride it all night long. Secondly, it fits comfortable between your legs. Thirdly, riding over bumps causes it to vibrate pleasurably. Fourly, batteries aren't required. Lastly, it comes complete with Archely - the ultimate combination for a orgasmofest!

Question 3: First off, i'm told my porn name is "Missy Mobile" :dozey: Thanks a bunch. :p Anyway, this one was difficult too. I didn't give out any correct points for it because nobody provided me a link that showed it was a real porn. Sorry for those of you who may have had real pornos and didn't provide evidence, but i'm not going to do the work for you. Best to LT for his attempt at a porn. I'll be waiting for the face killings to start soon.

LT: 3) Ulk in "All aboard the Man Train" I've even got a link to it!! Click HERE (http://www.geocities.com/laughingturtlelt/stuff/ulktrain.txt)

Runner up....because it made me laugh and laugh. I felt i couldn't give a best to something that didn't answer the question though, sorry Johan.

Johan:3)mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....porn

couldnt answer 3, got distracted by porn, mmmmmmmm.....porn.

Question 4: Thanks for the ideas guys....and thanks to Amelia who actually gave me a useful tip in get an apartment with the heat included. Best to LTT...

Lews Therin: Question 4: Well, since I still live with my parents, I wouldn't know much about this subject, but I'll try to give you a couple of ways to reduce the cost of having an apartment:
1. Buy an apartment where the landlord is in fact a hot, young, single female, and work your charm on her, arch. I think you will find that she will rent you a decent apartment room for very little.
2. To save electricity, have a monkey pedalling on a bicycle. It never fails if you get an orange Guatamalan Monkey, and award it a banana every blue moon for it's efforts.
3. As for water and food, get the apartment by a lake, and near a free Burger King.

GRAND CHAMPION OF SEASON 1 is ULK!!!
Ulk got out in front and just barely managed to hold off a late season surge by LaughingTurtle. Nice work.

Be sure to get back in it for season two!

sir archely

May 1st, 2003, 22:17

So, season 1 is over, and i'm forced to have Ulk's name in my sig for six weeks....

This is a great time to get into the habit of doing the WTP every week people, and it's your chance to try and dethrone Ulk.

Due Sun. Oct. 27th...maybe....unless i'm lazy.

Question 1: This question is another submitted question, fairly straightforward. I have picked a number from 1-1000 and written it down. What is the number i have picked? Whoever gets the closest will get the best. For the bonus point, who submitted this question?

Question 2: What is the most devious form of torture you can think of? Correct point if it was actually used at some point in time.

Question 3: 1. Give me a rube goldberg device that would allow me to push play on my stereo while still
sitting at my computer desk, approx. 8 feet away. Stereo is on top a dresser approx. 3'6" tall. If you don't know what a Rube Goldberg machine is, go HERE (http://www.rube-goldberg.com/) This question is mostly because i'm lazy.

Question 4: What is the longest word in the English language?

There you have it, week 1 in season number 2. Go to it!

sir archely

May 2nd, 2003, 17:19

Again chat pressured me into doing this...but a few people who weren't going to submit did as a result...so i guess i won't have to take points off as a result...buck... :grumbles: :p

I'm pleased with the number of people that participated in this, the first of season number 2. Thanks to all of you who have played, even just once, everyone who played this week gets one bonus point for the new season!

I really gave out a lot of points this week wow....this was perhaps the most difficult WTP to judge yet...it took me soooo long to finish....anyway, you all should take that as a compliment, making my task harder means your answers are all great...

===============
Answers and Samples
===============

Question 1: Well, this question was submitted by Lews Therin. The actual number was 745. And there is a reason behind it...it's random. :p Absolutely nobody got the correct point for this question...and i said best would go to the person who was closest, so your best is nDee....even though his answer isn't very exciting...but that's what i said....

nDee: 1. 777. I say Ulk handed it in.

Question 2:Wow, where do i even start on this one? I really don't want to be left alone with you guys...scary...I really don't even know how to select a best on this one...do i go with humor, or really really terrible actual tortures? I decided i'm going to do both. And, another thing, i'm being nice and not researching some of your tortures, if you said it was used at some point, i gave you the correct point. So, your most humorous is LTT, and your most terrible tortures are Anita's, i don't know, her's just made me cringe...and thanks for the ego boost ara :p

Lews Therin: 2: Two words..... Mike's Basement !!!! Being locked in Mike's basement is the worst form of torture ever...there are more devices used for torture down there than you can count!!! AHHH!! There's been a point in time when everyone has been absent from wotism, and when they come back, to explain their absence, they say things like "I have been busy" or "I needed to buy a new computer". They were lying...they were absent from Wotism because they were locked in Mike's basement! I was locked in there last week, and I have nightmares everynight...
*shivers*

Anita: SQUASSATION. hands tied behind thier backs, suspects are hoisted to the ceiling, by ropes ties to their hands, while heavy weights are hung from the limbs to pull them from thier sockets. After a while, drop the prisoner rapidly, so they fall several feet towards the floor, then jerking the rope tight before they hit the floor, which has the effect of dislocating almost every bone in the body. This form of torture was used in Europe during the witch-hunting times. 4 sessions of squassation were considered enough to kill almost anyone.

another very devious form... also used on suspected witches... the water ordeal.... forcing a prisoner to drink large quantities of water together with a long, knotted cord, which would then be yanked from the prisoners mouth, which usually resulted in disembowelling.

Here's a couple runner ups....

mindphone:2 - in the middle ages this was AN actual form of torture / execution: the criminal would be strung upside down, naked, and his legs would be bound to either side of the rafters with rope. two men would then use a big-ass saw (like a tree-cutting saw) and proceed to cut him in half. the cutting started at the scrotum. think about that arch, your poor scrotum, followed by the rest of your boody, being mercilessly ripped in two by sharp, rusty, jagged blades of death! tell me you are not putting on your jock strap just visualizing it.

Arawis:***i think the most devious torture would HAVE to be talking to Archely all the time, but only on the internet so i dont get to be near his dead sexiness......o the pain....

Question 3: Well, people, i guess i forgot to mention it in the question, but no, i don't have a remote, that's why i asked the question....but anyway, i got some really interesting stuff for this one...And it's hard to pick a winner...but...i'm going to go with two here, both of whom seem to have put the most effort in it, and are most in line with the spirit of a rube goldberg machine. So, way to go, buck and LT.

Buck: The device would be initiated by my stapler. I wack down on my stapler which has a thread positioned just right so that the staple woulld pierce it and thus cut the thread. This release the tension on the thread that hangs a marble over the desk. the marble falls and lands on a small top loading tape player. specifically on the play button. This plays the Tom & Jerry music to set the moode (soundtrack theme to the mouse trap epsiode) doom doom doom, de dum dum.

The marble rolls off the tape deck and lands on a mouse trap (ironic ) which sling shots a paperclip right at a the actual tabletop board game called "MouseTrap" Which sets of a series of mechanisms which brings down the cheap plastic net a stcik the whacks out of the way of a slinky. this slinky slinks off and bumps right into a jega tower made from about 5 Jenga sets. the slinky causes it to collapse toward the dresser. A handful of pieces land on a cd discman that has its covr removed. The Discman's play is hit by one and the discman spins a cd. The cd has a minature legoman on it. after about 3 seconds of speeding up, the legoman gets flung off due to centrifugal forces toward the bookshelf on the other side of the room. It hits a coat rack that is skewed because it had abook under it. The little legoman is enough to knock it over the tipsy turby coat rack and it hits a bookshelf on the way down. which has most of it's pegs missing. The jolt is enought to collapse all the books and shelves in it. On one of the shelves (the top one) A blue rubber ball was positioned so it falls off and bounces right toward the desk where you are sitting. (this part involves you ducking your head) so that the ball bounces over you and lands on the stereo remote right next to the stapler. It lands on the play and the stereo turns on. the ball continues to bounce right into the cheap top loading tape player and lands on stop and stops it.

LT:3)Ok, this one may take a bit... First off, sitting at your computer you'd reach over on your desk and tip over the first lego man standing in long line reaching to the end of your desk. The lego men will fall over alla dominos and at the end the last one will fall off the desk landing in front of a cat strategically stationed there. The cat seeing the suicidal lego will thus be spooked and literally jump 3 feet into the air back onto your desk, thus hitting the mouse cage conviently placed there. As the cat moves on to go either eat some of the remaining legos on the desk or walk all over the keyboard, the mouse cage's door is now open from the cat hitting the release lever....thus letting the little mouse who's be trained to ride on a mini unicycle (by arch naturally) to ride across the gap between his desk and the dresser on a long piece of string. The mouse crosses the string on the unicycle to reach the cheese on the other side, and as he starts nibbling on the cheese the added weight of the mouse, unicycle, and cheese, causes the platform which they are on to lower, pulling a string attached to it to pre-shaken soda can's tab, thus opening it and exploding. The soda shoots all over the trained monkey below the dresser, causeing him to go "ape" and throw his banna at Ulk who is stalking arch from the corner. The banna hits Ulk in the head causing him to go over and yell at the monkey. Over at the Stereo there is a beer can labeled "Drink Me." Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Ulk picks up the beer, thus pulling a string attached to it which is hooked to the play button, which turns the music on.

Whew...in summary 1)knock over lego 2) falling lego spooks cat 3)cat releases unicycle mouse 4) mouse opens soda 5) soda angers monky 6) monkey hits ulk 7) Ulk goes for beer 8) beer turns stereo on.

And the real part of LT's answer...go HERE (http://www.geocities.com/laughingturtlelt/stuff/WTP.gif) to see it in action....

Runner up....

Mindphone:3 - great. just great. you know, i don't ask for much in this life: a cold beer once and awhile, a warm bed and THE CHANCE TO GET THE THIRD QUESTION OF THE FIRST WEEK OF THE SECOND SEASON OF WTP RIGHT. but no. of course, my third wish is going to unfulfilled because you have maliciously raped me of the chance to answer properly by going over my head with a question that is far beyond my feeble grasp. well i hope you are quite satisfied with yourself, mr.high-and-fucking-mighty. you've just made a young man cry :cry:

Question 4: Well, was this ever a controversial question....There was the word Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. which i thought was the longest, and then there was this one some of you came up with that had 1909 letters or something. I ended up just giving both correct points because i didn't specify. Again i went with a 2-way best, to ulk and wendy....runner up for buck for explaining exactly what was going on with the words...

Ulk: 4. Okay, so i found a word that was 1,009 letters long. Assuming its bullshit, i'm gonna go w/ oxford. floccinaucinihilipilification is 29 letters, and is the longest in its category of words that are used and not made up by some ass clown. why we need a word that long isnt clear to me, and sounds rather insolent. ~lights floccinauchinihilipilification on fire~

wendy:Education... It takes 10 years to complete. :)

runner up...

buck:The longest word currently listed in Oxford dictionaries is rather of this kind: it is the supposed lung-disease pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters).

The formal names of chemical compounds are almost unlimited in length (for example, aminoheptafluorocyclotetraphosphonitrile, 40 letters), but longer ones tend to be sprinkled with numerals, Roman and Greek letters, and other arcane symbols. Dictionary writers tend to regard such names as `verbal formulae', rather than as English words.

I found a scientific "word" that was a page long but that's not a word its a verbal fomula.

Well, week 1 is over, but you still have a chance to get in near the ground floor if you get in now...

Due Sun. Nov. 3rd...maybe....unless i'm lazy.

Question 1: This is the last of the submitted questions... Where does the name Archely come from? And how did the carrier of this name on this MB come by it, to use it? And, who submitted this question? The only reason i'm using the question is not because i'm horribly egotistical, but because it's more like a scavenger hunt...the answer is on the board somewhere....You should also be able to figure out who submitted this from the board as well...there you go, an easy 2 points...now how to get the best? :p

HINT #1: You should all thank LT, he bitched that this was too hard, so here's a hint....the answer to the question (not who submitted it) is somewhere in the General Forum.

Question 2: What group(s) of people would i be referring to if i made a comment about the "Knights of the Hammer" ? I know of one group, there are possibly more, give me some proof for your answer.

Question 3: What's the best prank you've ever pulled, had pulled on you, or heard about?

Question 4: What color is most easily seen by the normal human eye?

Question 5: This is a fairly simple code. Please complete this, in English, and in code. UIFXUQ XUQXUQ JTXUQ ________ ! Really people, this is probably easier than you think.

HINT #5: Sheesh, you people, cry a little bit more....if this doesn't make it obvious.....okay, once you get it into english, factor something out, and it'll make more sense.

Go to it!

Question 1: Yes, archely was the name of my imaginary friend when i was a child. The answer can be found HERE (http://www.wotism.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=418). If you said something about imagination, i gave it to you, because it seems some of you didn't take the hint. Best to MP for his crying....heh...everyone point and laugh at MP crying...:p By the way, the person who submitted this was mith...why did nobody get this? All you had to do was look back at the WTP and see that he was the only one left who got a point for submitting....sheesh....

Mindphone: your name comes from the imaginary friend you had when you were a child, archely basil. i never had an imaginary friend when i was a child, but sometimes i wish i did. someone who could have been there when i was forced to clean the outhouse in mid-january by my over-bearing alcoholic uncle, reggie. someone who would have talked to my when my pet chicken, terrance hopkins, died of consumption. someone that could have stayed by my side when my penis was severed in a meat grinder accident. someone who loved me......*breaks down crying*

Question 2: Well, this one was strange. I expected it to be an easy google question, but as it turns out, there seems to be absolutely nothing on the internet about this. Yesterday i actually put myself in your shoes and looked for a while, and even with the answer, i couldn't find jack squat. Only a few small bits that only made sense if you already knew what i was referring to. Anyway, I was told in my history of science class that the Knights of the Hammer were an 18th or 19th century group of Geologists. This was back when geology was cool i guess. Anyway, i was really lenient with this one, and gave points for video game stuff and all sorts of stuff, if you said where you got it. Best to LT, and half to wendy, because she had about the same answer, only less detailed.

LT: Well at first I did a google search and found this DarkSea definition of the Knights but....it was too easy, so I said "Phuck this" and pulled out the Wotism Dictionary, and low and behold, it was listed there as well, yet gave a different definition... *ahem*

Knights of the Hammer: An order of Knights back in the days of yore who roamed the land in parachute pants yelling "Stop... Hammer time" whilst hammering various insolent peasants (In the days of yore, there were many more insolent people than now, hard as that is to believe). But on one eventful day the Hammer Knights (who were slowly going bankrupt due to their spendthrift ways) came upon a beer knight just chill'n with his wench, enjoying his mead. Foolishly mistaking this for insolence they set upon the poor knight with their hammers all the while yelling "Can't touch this!" News of this travesty soon reached the ears of the mighty Ulcador (great, great, great, great grandfather of Ulk) who swiftly dispatched the legions of beer knights to kill the infidels in the face. They summarily put the smack dab on the Hammer knights, thus eliminating the entire order.

wendy: The guys in giant baggy pants that dance behind MC Hammer in the film clip to "You can't touch this"

Question 3: Well, there were a lot of good pranks for this one. Many that I've heard of/done before myself. The best goes to SD because I've never heard of this one, and it's really hilarious. ~is going to try it on his roommates next time they are drunk and driving with him~ :D

Supuradam: best prank... oh man... this is a hard one. i think one of mybetter ones would hvae to be returning from a concert. i was driving, and eveyrone else was asleep. if you've ever done that, it really sucks. so anyways, i pull over to a rest stop to gather my senses. then i remember something i read. i saw a tree in the middle of a small clearing. i pulled the car up to it and stopped when my bumper was up against the trunk. then i shifted in to park and screamed my lungs out. everyone woke up and saw how close we were to this tree and started freaking out. corey passed out, and paul literally squirt some in his pants.... oh man... i know we've done better. just can't think of any at the moment.

Question 4: Well, the color that is best seen by the human eye is actually chartreuse, which, for those of you who don't know, is a bright yellow-greeny type color. This is why (at least around here and in the US in general i think) things like fire trucks and street signs are being switched to this color. Red is NOT most easily seen, and actually is FAR harder to see in low-light situations. I gave you a correct point if you said green or something like it. MP, sorry to say, you may be dichromatic, but you still could have looked up the generality on the net....:p Wendy got the best for her answer that is probably more true than mine....i know what she's talking about, do you?

wendy: green for Americans, lurid pastel shades for Australians and grubby pastel shades for brits. Can you guess what I'm talking about? ;)

Question 5: No best for this one. I guess it was harder than I thought. I know things seem easier if you have the answer, but still. All i did was shift the alphabet over by one letter and stick WTP (=XUQ) at the end of each word. So, when you put it into english, it should have read, "TheWTP WTPWTP isWTP ______! So then you could fill that in with whatever you wanted. Only three of you got the code, LT, sd and Justin and you said, respectively, that the WTP was "ownedbyLT", "totallysweet", and "hard". Buck, I have no fricking clue what you were doing. Oh, and thanks to all of you who told me to go to hell or something equivalent.... :p

I had thought about just giving everyone a week off this time, because the last ones were apparently really hard, but what i'm going to do instead is only ask factual questions. If you wish, you should be able to find all the answers with a quick google search. Probably, some of you know the answers to these already anyway. This is because you are a phreak. :p Also, i'll be pretty lenient, as I'm never quite sure what to believe off the internet. There you go, an early november present from me to you.

Due Sun. Nov. 10th...maybe....unless i'm lazy.

Question 1: Give me the names of three Thundercats.

Question 2: How much longer will a right handed person live than a left handed person?

Question 3: What color is Yak's milk?

Question 4: What's the strongest muscle in the human body, that is present in both males and females?

Question 5: How long does a pig's orgasm last?

Go to it!

Here i am again...it's tues and i'm just doing the WTP....Oh well.

Hopefully this one won't take so long since it was pretty straight forward. Hopefully.... :rolleyes:

I'm giving out a lot of points this week it seems, particularly, there are 8 correct answer points available. I guess this is the real part of your present.

Oh, and to Justin....I accidentally deleted your answers, so i'm giving you an average/low amount of points. This is only partially my fault, as the rules clearly state that when you submit revisions, you must submit all of your answers again. You submitted revisions, so i deleted the earlier ones.....and then realized that not all of the answers were in your revision. If you have a problem with this, you can talk to my manager....

Answers and Samples
================

Question 1: So here are some examples... Lion-O (Lion is NOT acceptable), Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wily-Kit & -Kat, and yes, even snarf. I won't even get into the new thundercats...but yes, i did give points for them too. Best goes to Ulk, just because he has a typo and said "gentiles" instead of "genitals".....at least i think it's a typo. In any case, it's damn hilarious.

Ulk: Three thundercats are: Cheetara, Pumyra, and Lion. These three thundercats in particular have plans of dominating America, along with a team of unicycle riding rabid chimps. I say let 'em have it, as Cheetara would slut up the place nicely, as well as everyone could laugh at the rabidness of the chimps... well, until they eat your gentiles.

Question 2: The number i was looking for was 9 years longer on average. Best to Solmyre for his righty propaganda...

Solmyre: At least a couple of hours. Lefties' brains are underdeveloped, and are literally as smart as paint. Their behavior is usually inapropriate, and always offensive. They rarely shower, and do lots of drugs. These filthy beasts are not myths, but your neighbours! Do you want your children being around these animals? Do what is right and keep your children safe! Segregate agains Lefties. Protect your children, its your duty!

Question 3: Here we are, the controversial question of the episode. I put this in because I wanted to trick you guys. So many internet sites with random facts on them say that yak's milk is pink, but i've seen, on sites i would give more credibility, that the milk is actually a cream color. So....cream color is the answer i was looking for, but because i never know what to trust on the net, i gave points to those of you who said it was pink as well. Best to Velveeta....because, well, his was the best. ~shrug~

Velveeta: Yak's milk is a rich creamy color, much like egg nog... As a matter of fact, most people don't know that egg nog is derived from yak's milk... The yak's milk is placed into a butter churn and churned for 42 days, then a local native is sent out to the grocery store to pick up a quart of delicious egg nog... What happens to the churned milk i do not know...

Question 4: I was forced to give out a lot of points here too, simply because i screwed up and didn't specify the type of strength i was going for. The tongue was what I was thinking of. I said in both sexes because I've been told that the muscles a woman uses in childbirth are far stronger than any others.....Best to Anita for her little bit of wisdom....

Anita: Well, according to research it's either the masseter, or "jaw" muscle, or else the tongue, or "french kiss" muscle. Either way, the mouth is mighty powerful and most of us ought to shut ours, keep the power and strength within.

Question 5: Supposedly a pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. Like many of you, i also wondered how this figure was found, but whatever....Best to LTT for sacrificing so much and telling us how the research was done....ewww

LTT: To answer this question, most people would just surf the internet to find the answer. The most popular answer would be around 30 minutes. But how do scientists know this? Did they fuck a pig!!?? Well, to answer this question, and to get AB, I went to the extreme. Yes, I laid in bed with a pig, and timed the orgasm. Unfortunately, the first test went unsuccessful, because the first specimen was a male pig . But the second test proved successful. To get a very accurate answer, I did 20 more "tests", and at the end averaged them all out. All of the results of pig's orgasms were roughly equal. After many tests and rough sex with pigs, I can clearly say that a pig's orgasm lasts exactly 34 minutes and 26.78 seconds. Geeze arch, the things you make me do for WTP.

Again i thought about simply taking this week off, because it's tues. now, and if i just said forget it, it would be back to normal. However, instead i'm just going to do a short one this week, mostly because I want input...

Due Sun. Nov. 17th...maybe....unless i'm lazy.....again

Question 1: Which is a better way to do things for the WTP, include questions that have no right answer, or only do factual questions? In this vein, would you prefer if i did away with the AB point category, or did away with the humor category as well? Some people have expressed that this would be a better way to do it, as everyone would be even. Anyway, give me some thoughts on this. And.....we'll see how i judge this one...heh ;)

Question 2: Here's a simple riddle, what are they?
one is set in glass
one is set in jet
the third is boxed within
another is set somewhere in stone
and the fifth is in us.

That's it for this week. Go to it!

Look at this....it's before 6 pm on sunday and i'm getting the WTP done! While i usually like to wait to get as many players as possible into it, this week I'm just going ahead and doing it.

This one didn't take that long at all...maybe i should stick with just 2 questions...heh....

As opposed to last week where there were tons of points, this week there are very few available. Obviously, since there were only 2 questions.

================
Answers and Samples
================

Question 1: Well, it seemed it was unanimous that I keep non-factual questions in addition to factual ones. The one thing i did hear that seems a good idea to me was to take the huge emphasis off of the AB. In future seasons, the AB will only be worth 1 point, just like every other thing you can get points for. This is because as it stands, if you don't get the AB, you just get crushed. I'm hoping that this will make the overall competition a little closer, and not distance out the scores so much. More competition is what I want, even though i'm sure some of you would rather just get way out ahead and stay there. So, starting season 3, AB will just be worth 1 point. For now it stays worth 2. Best to Justin for suggesting the 1 point thing.

Justin: Facts or open questions bolth work for me. I really like how you've been doing it since ive been playing. AB points are great, but could you drop their value to say one point? i'm getting slaughtered by not scoring these points, but AB points make you strive to get a great answer. Humor points are just as good for like reasons, and i think they should stay. I took this picture of me after readin last weeks results.. its not pretty...--> :0

Question 2: The answer to the riddle i presented is vowels. I'm sure with the answer in hand you can see how it works. Best goes jointly to LT and Solmyre. They will each get 2 points. I did this because they both had good answers, and i didn't give out many points this week anyway.

LT: This one actually didn't take me very long...For each one I just had to relate it to Ulk...when I thought of glass I naturally thought of Ulk's glass jaw, and with him being an A-hole, the first one must be "A." Then for jet I thought if I flew to Canada, what would Ulk say to me, and what does Ulk, a Canadian, say a lot? "Eh" of course, so the second one is "E" Next for within I thought, what is always within ulk...BEER! But what does he drink his beer with...ICE, so the next one must be "I". Then for Stone I thought....Ulk loves to get stoned....and how do you get stoned? By smoking pOt, thus the next one is "O". Then for the last one, I pondered...What does Ulk love to ride....THE MAN TRAIN - CHUCHU (shut up, that's how you spell it ) So the last one must be "U"

So the answer to the riddle are the vowels "a, e, i, o, u,"

Solmyre: WoTists! Here, let me explain:

Mindphone had a stroke and received severe brain damage, so they decided to freeze him for a later time, so they put him in a glass jar with water and little ice-cubes.

Mike, sitting alone in his basement with a can of beans... He is a human jet. (or you could take the fact that Mike's basement is the lower level of the USS Enterprise, but thats not very original)...

Arawis is boxed within societies laws, thus closed away from studs such as Dhel and the rest of ya'll. (Remember your imaginary friend arch? well remember how he died? you boxing him up, and burying him alive? My first thought was that one, but then I realized that he's not a WoTist.)

And the only one whos stoned all the time would be Kolo. Just look at his picture! He looks baked like a pie!

We are ALL WoTists, deep inside every one of us, there is a WoTist lurking to get out! God Bless us all!

Me > :love: < WoTists

Well, here we are, season 2, week 5. Almost the end of the second season of WTP. Seems odd to think i've been doing this thing for that long. Anyway, closing in on the end of season 2....so if you want to catch the leaders, you better make your move now. And, just because I can, i'm throwing a wrench into the whole thing. There is a little surprise for this week.....

~evil laugh goes here~

Due Sun. Nov. 24th...maybe....unless i'm lazy or little elves murder me in my sleep.

Question 1: Well, I said way back in the first week that there would be more WoT related questions, and I haven't had one since. so....here's another. What was the name of the Aiel who became the first Far Dareis Mai?

Question 2: What sharps and/or flats are in the Key signature when playing a piece of music in the key of A?

Question 3: If you could choose, what "super-power" would you select? Not limited to super-powers present in comics or something, make one up if you desire.

Question 4: Which is better, adding acid to water or water to acid?

Go to it!

Here they are, the WTP results...finally. Anyway, there was something extra special going on for this week....but it didn't happen. For those of you who know what's going on, stay silent, please. I'd like to try it again but it's supposed to be secret.

Anyway, I couldn't wait any longer, so I'm just going ahead and doing them the results now.

Looking at what i picked, i'm probably going to get some more hate mail...~sigh~ However, picking differently changes it up a little and makes it a little less constant, which is good IMO.

================
Answers and Samples
================

Question 1: The real answer to this question is Morin. The info can be found in tSR when Rand has all the memories of the Aiel in Rhuidean. Best to Solmyre....i don't really know why, his answer just struck me as funny. It's nice and simple too.

Solmyre: It was actually a guy. This guy, Bob, had bitch-tits, and was extremely under-equipped.

Question 2: The simple answer is that there are 3 sharps in the key of A: F#, C#, and G#. There are no flats in the key of A, that would be the key of A flat, and your flats would be B, E, A, and D. Best to wiggin for caring a little bit too much....but seriously, nice work with all the info......*cough*loser*cough*.....you know i'm just kidding right?.....*cough*.....heh :p

wiggin: It depends on whether "CAPS LOCK" is on or not. If it is, all of your music will come out with a rather sharp note to it. Of course, even the most lurid typing can produce some pretty flat results... like this joke.

Heh. Providing we are speaking of A major, on a typical modern piano, there would be C, F, and G sharp. A minor has three separate forms:
a) harmonic: G sharp
b) melodic: F and G sharp going up, no sharps going down
c) natural: no sharps

Then there are dozens of other variations. Augmented (although is isn't considered a "key", one would add and E sharp - F, that is to the A major), diminished (make the C sharp of the major scale natural), and a bunch of other more random ones: fraigesh (eastern european 19th century modes), Celtic modes, early church modes (often consisting of 5-note scales), and others (including wierd things like 13 note scales and the like).

That is assuming, of course, that one actually has "A" in the key signature. Once can play in a different key signature but still play in the key of "A". For instance, in F sharp minor key signature, one could easily be playing A major chords, or even whole progressions in that key. "A" played as a dominant or subdominant (5 or 4 chord) of a key (D or E) can occur, although one would not normally consider that to be precisely in the "key" of A. Of course, since the definition of a "key" is quite fluid, this question is a tad too open-ended to really answer fully.

Question 3: Well, I got some really interesting answers for this question, and some really cool ones too. However, my best goes to Johan, just because I think that the power he chose is probably the coolest one, and it would be my choice as well.

Johan: The ability to maniputlate time, so i could go back and forth and slow it down or stop it completely, giving me more time to do stuff, and finding out all the secrets of time and so i could see the stars and live in olde worlde villages, with streams and blacksmiths and inns and carts. As you may remember, from I have a fascination with olde worlde things and lush countryside. If i could do that it would be amazing. and I would do anything to be able to do that.

Runner up:

Ulk: The best super power by far is an unlimited supply of face killings!.... oh, i would rule the world, and enslave all of you!!! err, not you arch, i like you. but everyone else would feel the wrath of my face killing super monkeys! wait, thats it! monkeys must have lots of face killing ammo, i'll go and enslave them. shouldnt be that hard really, theres not that many of them.

Question 4: Well, as many of you told me, it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The safest route to go is to add acid to water. If you told me something about what happened, either way, and you were right, you got a correct point. Best to Justin, just because i like the little poem thingy....

Justin: it depends on what your doing...
you ad water to acid when filling the battery of you car.
you add acid to water when mixing chemicals in a lab.
if you wanna figure out which is acid and which is water, lets take a lesson from el Tea:
"Little jonboy took a drink,
but will not drink no more,
for what he thought was H2O,
was H2SO4!"

H2SO4=sulfuric acid

Here comes what may eventually turn out to be the last week of the WTP. :cry: All said I suppose it was a good run while it lasted. I really never expected it to even go for half this long, so this is good i guess. Anyway, here goes.

We'll see if the wrench actually gets thrown in or not this last week.

Due Sun. Dec. 9th...maybe....unless i'm lazy or my hands get chopped off in some horrible window blinds accident.

Question 1: Telll me what you think the song "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim is talking about.

Hint: Psst....you don't need to actually have heard the song to look up the lyrics....duh...

Question 2: What is your favorite part of Wotism?

Question 3: What is one thing you've learned from playing the WTP?

Question 4: This is something we call around here the "movie game" or "bomb"....what you do is try to link actors and actresses by movies they have both been in. The size of their role doesn't matter one bit. For example, I could link Samuel L. Jackson to Natalie Portman by Star Wars, then Portman to Annette Bening in Mars Attacks!, then Bening to Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. Or...more simply, I could link Jackson to Spacey by way of the Negotiator. The fewest links wins. I want you to link Freddie Prinze Jr. to Viggo Mortensen.

I had said originally that i hadn't checked it to see if it is possible, but i just did, and it most definitely is. Not too many steps either....

Question 5: And finally, I have to include this... Do you think there should be a WTP season 3? Why or why not?

Go to it!

The end of season 2 is upon us. And there are 3 players...only 3. After this, the WTP will be going into hibernation indefinitely. At this point there is about a 50/50 chance that it will return after my break. However, as of now, i'm not really sure.

It all comes down to a 3-way showdown between the current leader and season 1 champ Ulk, the Laughing "perpetually second place" Turtle, and the recent upstart Justin.

Will Ulk prove his ultimate superiority over the others by winning back to back seasons? Will LT finally get rid of that awful middle name? Will Justin shock them both and prove that oldbies should get out the walkers and canes?

Only read and find out. :)

Question 1: Well, there really is no right answer to this question, since I didn't write the song and really have no right to say what it is really about. However, I personally think it's a reference to dune. With a voice weapon....plus "walk without rhythm and it won't attract the worm" is very nearly a direct quote. That said, i'm going to have to go with LT for the best on this one. It really was rather creative and humorous.

LT: When I first heard the song and read the lyrics I thought that the idea was that Fatboy Slim was using his voice as a weapon. Kinda like Eminem does, using their lyrics as their tool to duel.

But, when you read all of the words, it just doesn't quite fit. At second glance, it sounds to me like he's talking about a woman strutting down some busy street looking to pick up a date. Her weapon is her newfound sexuality. Swaying down the way she knows she could go with this guy, or that guy, "You can go with this, Or you can go with that, " and she sways - walking with rythm - to attract the guy's ....er worm ;) "Walk without rhythm
it won't attract the worm" She must have seen some sleazy guys she didn't like - "Be careful, we don't know them" and lastly "Halfway between the gutter and the stars, yeah" could mean what all living people are....living, neither in hell nor heaven.

People who didn't win:

Ulk: I think fatboy's weapon of choice is verbal abuse, or maybe just talking back. The line about the rhythm and the worm is from Dune methinks. Which also makes me suspicious as to who fatboy slim really is. I'm fairly certain there were space monkeys in dune, so maybe he's one of them! ~gathers a posse to hunt down and face kill fatboy slim~

Justin: Dude, i must have inspired this, with my dune eyes.
His weapon of choice is "the voice" Yes im talking about the Voice from Dune. and i'm fairly sure that He's talking about Leto II and his reign over the empire in "God Emporer of dune"
"walk without rythm, it wont attract the worm" is a lesson the fremen taught paul...
And half wat between the gutter and the stars seems like something close to what Leto II described as far as his state in the universe he created

Question 2: It seems that all 3 of you think that the people here are the best part. I'm inclined to agree. And...since you are all agreeing, there was no best here.

Justin: What the Phuck are you talking about!! the genelal insanity of the general board is The sheet, and the chat is great, and the Girls! oh, the girls! yep the people are the best part of wotism

Ulk: My favourite part of wotism is the wotists. Specificially, arch. I just love you so much!!! ~tackle hugs~ .... ~gets up, dusts self off~ but really though, i wouldnt be approaching 5 years as a wotist if i didnt like everyone. and i do, i really really DO!!!

LT: Well between getting nagged about TWOW, talking to myself in chat, and getting turned into turtle soup every once and awhile, I’d have to say the people....more specifically the WOWs, though not saying the guys are bad, but well they'd need to grow some boobs...

Question 3: Well, it's odd that apparently every one of you learned something about Ulk. However, i'm going to have to go with Justin for the best on this one. While Ulk swells up his own ego, and LT tries to deflate it, Justin actually made a reference to the WTP. I also find it extremely funny that the lego army is now wearing rouge...heh.

Justin: just because your good, doesn't mean you wont get face killed, or attacked by a rouge lego army, or stabbed with a spork. noone is safe from Ulk's wrath. Be afraid, be very afraid......

Runner ups: (another name for losers)

LT: That Ulk is the root of all that is evil, dastardly, underhanded and just plain wrong with the world....no wait already knew that...uh that arch actually does have good ideas once and awhile.

Ulk: One thing i've learned from playing the WTP is that you really are king procrastinator. you werent makin that shit up. Other than that i learned i'm wickedly funny, wickedly talented, and just a wickedly awesome guy. All thanks to you arch. all thanks to you. i owe you buddy.

Question 4: Well, the best i could do was three links, counting both viggo and freddie...Ulk got my link, but LT was right there with one i didn't see. Sorry justin, but you had too many to be a contender. Since they each had the same amount, i award the best to LT and Ulk jointly, but they split the points. 1 to each.

LT: Dunno if this is the fewest but I after a while I was just happy to find a link. (Though 1 link is pretty small) Ok start with Freddie Prince Jr. in “I know what you did last summer” with Ryan Phillippe who was in Crimson Tide with Viggo Mortensen. BAM! Thank you Internet Movie Database!

Ulk: Viggo Mortensen was in A Perfect Murder with Joanna Adler, who was in Down to You with Freddie Prinze Jr. I've never even heard of Down to You, which once again makes me suspicious of space monkeys. Odd how i always get these suspicions when doing the WTP..... ~gives arch suspicious look~ space monkey! die!!!!

Runner up:

Justin: Viggo to gene hackman "crimson tide" gene hackman to keano reeves "the replacements" Keano reeves to drew barrymore "babes in toyland" drew barrymore to adam sandler in"wedding singer" adam sandler to henry winkler in "the waterboy" henry winkler to freddie pirnze jr in "down to you"

although....i seen viggo what looked like he was administering a supository to freddie with his manhood....I asked him about it, and he said he was playing "a game" and it was "the bomb" . Someone was prolly filming it, so they are directly linked.

Question 5: Well, i asked, but didn't really expect to get an unbiased result from the people who play. Just curious on my part. Not surprisingly, the three who played all said that i should continue. Justin captures the best, simply because it's likely that what he came up with will be what happens.

Justin: YES but wait till the middle of january, cause we will all be busy over the holidays, and i want to be grand champion....
ect ect (and the boring winter will pass faster)
what would we all do without this Phucking game?
jeez....

For your amusement:

LT: YOU HAVE TO ASK?! I must dominate the drunken hockey loven main train ride’n, lego play'n, face killer! There must be a season 3, for I have not yet begun to PHUCK!

Ulk: Let me as YOU a question. Why wouldnt there be a season 3? WTP is great! this season was much closer than last, like you said w/ 4 ppl in the runnings. well.... LT doesnt really count, what w/ all the bribes and shit. but anyway, more ppl are playing regularly and doing well, plus you can see its popular when you dont judge it when you're supposed to and everyone gets ants in their pants! thats right, ants! the only reason you shouldnt keep it up is if you dont like making up the questions and judging... i just figured you did, cos you do it. right? right. and also, i'm not sure after recent revelations you should be allowed on a computer, i just dont trust your race of space monkeys...

Well, there's the end of season 2. Ulk yet again just barely manages to hold off a late season surge. LT keeps his middle name and Justin flees the wrath of Ulk. Now I'm forced to write up yet another highlight reel for Ulk.

And with that, i stumble off to hibernation.

The sentence at the end of this post is true.

Well, I've decided to get back in the WTP game a little earlier than usual. Not that many of you really care but...~sigh~

This is the WTP version 3.X This is the start, and end, of season 3. The third season, rather than have one each week and total up the points, will be one group of questions. The winner takes all and becomes champ of season 3.

Due...well, here's where it gets tricky. I have no set due date for this one. It's going to be going all through my winter break, so your responses aren't due for judging until at least Jan 20th....unless i shoot my eyes out with that daisy rifle i'm hoping to get for xmas. However, this is no reason to wait. Since this is a one shot deal, the first 5 responses will receive the customary 1 point for being "first".

This is your challenge, should you choose to accept it:

Question 1: What is the ideal occupation? Why?

Question 2: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Why?

Question 3: Tell me where this movie quote is from: "And like that *poof* he's gone."

Question 4: True or False: The statement 1+1=3 is clearly false, just like the answer to this
question.

Question 5: If you could change one thing about your physical body, what would it be? Why? Don't limit it to possible or even impossible but reasonable things here. Adding wings or a horn or the like is perfectly acceptable.

Question 6:
1. Everyone is afraid of Dracula.
2. Dracula is only afraid of me.
Who am I?

There you are, a nice season 3. Remember, winner becomes champ of season three. Also, keep in mind that the best answers are now worth only a single point. Go to it!

The sentence at the beginning of this post is false.

Well....here we are again. The results of the WTP. 3.X style this time. I did return...but it took some time. I guess without that set date to kick me in the butt, it just went lower and lower down on the list. The procrastination kicked in and then it's lucky that i do it at all. Oh well, here it is.

This time things are going to be a little different. I have recruited two other wotists to the WTP cause. These two are *tadaa* the ever-toussling Amelia Sedai and the enigmatic Fairy of the Night. ;) I will also continue in my role to complete the tribunal.

Each of them judged you and found you wanting. Well, seriously, they each gave out points for amusing answers and gave me their choices for bests. They did NOT give out points for correct answers. If you had it correct, you had it correct once, those points don't stack.

Sometimes i will include commentary by them, if so, it will be in the color of their name above. To the judges: if i misrepresent you, i'm sorry. I'm just going off what you have given me to date. I don't think that i'll mess up anything NF said, but i might screw something of Amelia's up. (If you said "best" for something, i made that one your "best" for the question) Sorry :(

In addition, it would be good to recall that due to rule changes, bests are now worth only a single point.

Well, enough procrastinating, on with the show!

Answers and Samples

Question 1: Well, for me, this question is terrible. I mean, ideal occupation? LT basically took the words out of my mouth. Therefore, for me, LT is the clear winner for best. Although i don't know about the starship captain thing.... NF chose Buck and Justin jointly while Amelia took satan's answer.

LT: I believe this question to be an oxymoron, for no "job" could ever be considered "ideal" for the word occupation implies work, and work implies effort, and I just don't do that sort of thing. Though if I were forced to choose I would have to pick...Starship Captain. Why? Simple, not only do you get to go around the universe in a fly ride, but you also get to go killing random new found aliens in the face royally along the way. But wait, that's not all, in addition you get all the hot women as well!

Buck:Hmmm I'd have to go with the guy who wets down the white T-shirts at a wet T-shirt party I think the reason is self explanatory.

Justin: a prostitute, male or female, cause all you do is f-ck around all day

Satan: Being arch's sex slave... I mean come on... (gotta love a suck up ;) )

Question 2: Heh, this question should be obvious to everyone. I mean, eggs were clearly around before chickens. I never said anything about chicken's eggs. ;) In that light, velveeta gets the nod from me. Amelia took wendy's answer and NF went with Justin again but wanted Anita to get a runner up honorable mention.

Velveeta: The egg came first, because who says it has to be a chicken egg? Dinosaurs laid eggs millions of years before the chicken ever even came to be, and what about caviar? All life stemmed from the sea, and fish were laying eggs before the dinosaurs were... This doesn't take into account the alien space-chickens that predate life on earth, but I didn't know you were talking about *those* chickens...

wendy: the chicken came first silly! What sort of a question is this... wait a minute... maybe it was the egg... whoh... head spin!

Justin: the egg came first. besides the fact that dinasaurs came from eggs. there was a point when a bird that wasnt quite a chicken laid an egg, and out of that egg came Yoshi, who, was the father of all modern chickens. Yoshi may not look like a chicken f-cker, but you never know.

runner up:

Anita: The chicken. Scientific research has gone a long way towards proving the "instantaneous animal" theory. Which basically says that one day, this dude was wandering in the woods, really hungry, and all of a sudden *poof!* hundereds of delicious chickens fell from the sky. He wondered why they didn't fly away, but he didn't care, cause they were tasty! He ate one, but others laid some eggs. And then he ate some of those too.

Question 3: Well, the movie is The Usual Suspects. One of the BEST movies of all time. If you haven't seen it. Go! Go Now! Right now! Why are you still reading this? Malcor, go! :grumbles: This question was one of the few opportunities for a correct answer point, but i'm surprised so few people got it, I expected more. My best is Anita. NF took Anita as well. Amelia went with Death's Lawyer.

Anita: Duh. The Usual Suspects. Regarding the character Kaiser Souza. Whose name is based on a lawyer that the writer knew. Directed by Brian Singer, who is a cool guy. Written by some dude who is clearly a genius.

Death's Lawyer: Ummm... I'm too nerdly for this one. I don't watch enough movies. But I'm pretty sure that the quote isn't from a movie: I don't think that there has been an actor or actress who has ever managed to succesfully pronounce an asterisk.

Question 4: Well, i love the analyzing you people did on this one. There is no correct answer, despite all the circular logic that was employed to try and find one. ;) Malcor took the best for me. Amelia liked Anita's and NF also liked Malcor's answer.

Malcor: Clearly. ~nods~

Anita: There is no truth. Only lies. Lies that "they" tell you. "they" are trying to keep us down. *fight the matrix neo* Refuse to answer. REFUSE!!! anyway, everyone knows that 1+1 = 11.

Question 5: Well, i knew that when i asked this question, i was really asking for it, but i didn't expect so many of the men of wotism to be lacking in a certain department. I'm going to have to go with wendy, just because it sounds so cool. NF chose Anita, and Amelia picked Malcor. (too funny...the good thing is that women would want to eat and lick him all the time!)

wendy: I'd love to have heat sensitive finger nails that changed colour with your mood. You know, like mood rings. *nods*

Anita: I would have 2 heads. As well, i would have wings sprouting from one of my heads. Then my one head could use it's wings to poke my other head's eyes and tickle my other nose. And i could talk to myself, and people wouldn't look at me funny the way they do now.

Malcor: ~snickers~ You could get some...well...amusing answers to this. On that note, I'd want to be a giant snickers bar. ~nods~

Question 6:Well, I'm going to go through this for you people. Logically speaking, given the premises i gave you, I am Dracula. You got the correct point for this if you said Dracula (in some form or another). The key to this is realizing that Dracula is part of Everyone.
1. Everyone (including Dracula) is afraid of Dracula.
2. Dracula is only afraid of me.

The key to the second part is the only; being afraid of me is Dracula's only fear. If Dracula is only afraid of one thing, and it's Dracula, then i'm Dracula. ;) That said, I picked Justin for best. Amelia liked LT's answer, and NF took wendy and LT jointly.

Justin:you are archley, and i can see how dracula would be afraid of you, seeins how your funshine and all.

or dracula, whatever works for you...

LT:I AM BATMAN! er, uh Dracula

1. Everyone is afraid of Dracula.
2. Dracula is afraid only of me.
Therefore I am Dracula.

As always, keep your eyes peeled for mistakes in addition. I don't think i screwed anything up, but it's possible, especially given that this whole thing took me nearly 3 hours to complete. ~sigh~ I only hope the mistakes don't affect the outcome.

Well, here it is, the Ulk highlight reel.

First off, It should be noted that Ulk completed the season with a whopping 34 points and 3 overall wins. That means that when ulk entered, he won 60% of the time. It also means that ulk had 21 more points than the average, and Ulk's score made up about 11% of the total number of points given out. Compared with the average of about 4% for most people, this is great.

I'll put up all of his Archely's Best and runner up answers, and when they were from. My comments in italics.
========
1.2 #1 The three-toed sloth has 9 neck vertebrae, which gives it extreme flexibility, able to turn its head a full 270 degrees. This is ideal for avoiding face killings, making it able to avoid any face killing except that of an expert face killer. Of course, this gives most wotists total dominion over the race of sloths, and eventually will allow wotists complete world domination.... cant get into details, but its going to involve tiny ants, really big scissors, and microscopic lego men.

This was the first of ulk's answers i ever read, and let me tell you, i hadn't seen the last of face killings and tiny scissors....always with the tiny scissors....

1.3 #1 NO you shouldn't give credit to those responses. they were both insolent, and deserving of death... this death could be doled out in two ways 1) a stern face killing and 2) something that makes it look like suicide... probably involving feathers, a chicken, and a *plump* goose.

Again with the face killings....

1.3 #4 Newton's main motivation was that he wanted to learn why things did what they did. For instance, why a cannon ball could achieve greatest distance when the cannon was angled at a 45 degree angle, or why only the ugly girls wanted him. He discovered the reasons for these, on the way developing calculus, and also discovering that seals, while apparently slippery, make great lovers.

Here we are introduced to another of Ulk's themes....sex...

1.4 #4 That would be Boromir in Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. He is clearly talking about the size of the monkey about to attack him, which he is promptly killed by. Weird how he was so calm before getting his face and genitles eaten off... maybe he had some secret tiny scissors up his sleave or something, i dunno.

Here the famed tiny scissors are again broken out...

1.4 #5 Wind is the most viable source of alternate energy. This is because when large armies of flying chimps take over the world in the near future (this is very common knowledge) they will create a lot of wind energy. Once we wotists harness this energy, i think we'll be the only ones left alive on the earth. Which isnt exactly a bad thing, cos all the girls would flock to me and arch. We'd be in some sort of constant sexual euphoria, and there aint nothin wrong with that!!

And just like that we are back to sex...

1.5 #4 Personally, i'd like to be ass sexed to death. I'm not sure if its possible, but i think a hot girl with a strap-on might be able to ass sex my body into tiny particles, which then could be blown out the window. Failing to find a hot girl with a strap-on, a mal-tempered mongoose might do the trick (as something to strap on to the hot girl, cos anything else would be kind of weird)

Here we see the animals and the sex, it's only strange because it lacks tiny scissors...

1.6 #1 The wot girls are so dead sexy because of the sheer handsomeness of me and arch. With the wot picture page, all the ugos simply leave when they see the league of goodlookingness they're playing in. Now, i realize there's some less than handsome guys but i'm pretty sure the girls overlook them when they see the drop-dead-sexiness of us two. Our plan of constant sexual euphoria has come to fruitation!! ALL FEMALES FLOCK TO US! ~passes out~ Oh, and i submitted the question, cos i'm sure no one knows the true reason but me and arch. ~nods and winks a lot~

and he finishes it all off with some sexual euphoria....
=========

Those were the answers you all could have seen already, now it's time to delve into the ulk files and pull up some of the ones you haven't seen...Unfortunately, i don't have his first answers, because i didn't start saving them for this purpose until a little ways into the WTP. So...i'll give you what i've got.

1.4 #1. You should boycott monkey poo, brand name, Shat of Monkey. While i realize it is crucial for the survival of tiny midgets, its smell is far too offensive for me to agree with. Personally, i say kill all Shat of Monkey in the face, or whatever it has that best represents its face.

1.4 #3 3. Face killings. Lots of them. Line 'em up against a wall or something, have ONE very brief trial proving their collective insolence, thus condeming them to death.

Here we have some face killing highlights...such rage ulk...

1.5 #2. The meaning of life, the universe, and everything is.... insolence beatings! Some idiots (non wotists) cant seem to understand this, but here its very common knowledge. Tiny mooses riding on the backs of bigger mooses would probably take over the world without the insolence beatings, and of course i'd have a lot less to say.

The only suprise here is insolence beatings in place of face killings, which seem to be going out of style.

1.5 #3. Right, the person who submitted question #2 is obviously LT. Only an Insolent such as him would dare be so insolent, what with his "mod" powers and all. I've got plans for him tho... big plans. (i'll let you in on them tonight in bed, but until then i'll tell you it involves a sack, two geese, and yes, tiny scissors)

Tiny scissors are definitely not going out of style for ulk...

1.6 #2. The best sex toy to buy is me! I'll be a strap on, one of those spinny things, a monster cock, and i can actually do stuff with my hands. ~has very good hands~ Of course i dont match up to a tiny chimp, but they arent really sex toys so much as they are rabid and dangerous. and i'm completely willing to hop on the man-train, cos as was established in wot chat years ago, there aint nothin' wrong with man-lovin'.

This fits right into ulk's theme, it's just a shame that it had to compete with LT's answer for this question...

1.6 # 3. The funniest porn name and movie is "Willy wanker and the Custard Factory". link here (http://www.geocities.com/nukerrap/issue31.html) Oh the possibilities! Why, who wouldnt want to wank on wee willy? or help himself to some free custard! wank on willy, free custard, then willy can wank on the wanker! right? right! wank! ...... TINY MONKEYS!!!

This is also an outstanding answer, but in the end, Ulk couldn't compete with his own man train.
=========

So, when season 1 is all said and done, what have we learned from ulk? Some sort of animal is always involved, tiny scissors are the ultimate weapon, and above all else, remember....

Face killings, insolence beatings and sex are the things that make life worth living.

Due to the nature of Ulk's responses, this post probably should not have been viewed by small children.
