No, I said the death has to be practical depending on the potential amount.

For example;
Animal: Siberian Tiger
Method: Using the power of my mind I will stop their hearts.
this is incorrect.

Also, a flaw from both of you has been the inability to go for the all-out answer. Look at the last question about mallets and wheels, there isn't enough 'give a feck, I'll have both' type answers. I mean, that's fine if you are giving great, serious answers as an alternative, but the answers received are generally just as retarded. I think TB has been closer to this mindset at times, as we've seen in his moon question, and more recently his apology. It's useless now as the remaining questions won't give you that option, but I would have scored the more outrageous answer the winner, if either of you had really tried for that approach.
So what happens now ?
can we ban Liam too ? or even better can we request a ban ?

For the next 15 days, Liam must face his strongest opponent yet.
Himself.
Himself.
Life-jacket at the ready Liam, face your fate.
Does this seem like it might make a nice first question for Liam...
You are engaged in an epic battle, testing your intelligence, your wits, your very ability to think. This battle has been known to destroy lesser men. The consequences of failure can not be measured by the human mind, complete mental obliteration. Your opponent is one designed from birth to be the perfect weapon to be used against you, he will know your every move, he will know your thoughts as you think them, sometimes before, he will often be one step ahead of you, though it is unlikely either of you will realize it.....that opponent is YOURSELF. In this competition, how will you outsmart/outthink yourself?
This might be too general a question though......

Liam vs Liam.
There are bonus points up for grabs here Liam, and you can exploit the score while TB is on his adventure. The question above stands. Fight yourself.

I'm sending this up as some promoted newbies have requested an update since leaving. I'll bring it back down at some point tonight so Liam can start playing against himself.
Yeah, you really should have before answering... always a tricky question time travel. Like Lastwolf said, the death of Franz Ferdinand was the straw that broke the camel's back. If that didn't happen, something else would have.
Lastwolf has been brilliant in this thread. Noticed him before I went up and he still continues to make great remarks.
and as for TBs response... he did sort of well considering it looked like he knew nothing about the book whatsoever.I agree with that. Can't remember who I had named for that award now..
Thanks for bringing this back up Hectic. It was a great read. So is TB's ban permanent or temporary? I read what he said on the last page but still wasn't that clear.
TB was doing so well in the game too (or rather, Liam was doing so poor) but then TB fell apart about halfway through and Liam's brought it right back.
It's made for a great finale with them both so close. Hopefully one of them won't do a Dewey and vote themselves as the loser.
TB's ban is temporary and requested, he will be back on the 15th.

Hectic, mate, what the feck is going on in this thread? And where did you manage to unearth some of these gems of posters? I must visit the general forum more. I must have got a batch of Kent Lights with something in them. That was brilliant. Ah, that's good. Liam v Liam sounds great
The newbies this summer was great: Obstacle, Dewey, TB and Liam (Liam's not that bad in the football forum but he's given some great answers in this thread). Got no idea who they'll find for CMOv3 though.
Liam vs. Liam?!? It'll be a fecking bloodbath.
Man... I miss seeing TB's incredibly wierd formatting style on a regular basis.
Also, loving Burrow's new (highly accurate) tagline.

One Burrow coming up.
Seems so, but it has happened earlier when they asked him to log in and out for a day just to check if he was, good for him if he has been this time.

And I agree, will be very good if he has been.
Well, they sort of picked themselves. Not so much volunteering, more like a willing sacrifice.
Read the thread from start to finish, some of the funniest posts I've ever seen are in here. Say whatever you like about Liam or TB but they made this insanely entertaining.
Hills have become Liams worst enemy. And still he think he's able to gather a hit-squad to take out an entire species
I'm going to edit out the first 10 pages so it is easier to read and understand for newcomers. It will start with from the first question.
Brilliant stuffOkay Liam, you're up!
Bang on.
Firstly, I'm certain you posted this Hectic, what happened?
Secondly, is this answerable?
I'm thinking to either think one thing to myself, and then at the last second do something different, just to fool him (Deweyism).
Or, I'd consider taking my own life. Drowning, since you ask. This should provoke one of two reactions. One, he'll be utterly baffled, and walk away, confused, at which point my natural will to live will bring me above the surface. He'll be long gone, and I will win. Or alternatively, he'll copy me, and we'll just call it a draw.
Third option, is to just do things instinctively, without thinking. That way he won't know what I'm thinking, so I can, just, do stuff, you know.
I don't know, I wanna new one.

So, you're going to quickly change or drown?...Well done Liam. Well done.
Yeah something like that.
It was impossible to answer really, if he knows everything I'm going to do before I even know, you're not going to win anything.

I like how he treats himself as a seperate person from himself, being able to walk away while at the same time drowning. Perhaps he is confusing being at war with himself with being cloned. Well done indeed.
He wouldn't be alone in that.
It's about categorically destroying two young men's self-esteem until they are rotting husks of their former selves. For the sole reason, that it's fecking hilarious.
Cop out, that's your answer for everything.
You answered that when your mom asked you, what you wanted for tea.
You mean, you're not English LW??
That answer was given solely for humour, as the question appeared unanswerable.

No, I'm not English.
Why I picked on that part is beyond me this is bit is better
I think you'd be better going with this option everytime

Just for clarification's sake, that wasn't a serious answer.
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
We ask the questions round here sonny. Where's your serious answer then?
I hope to god, none of your answers are serious.
I'm from Antarctica, that's why I'm always on TB's side.

I really hope those weren't serious answers Liam.
A pregnant woman leading a group of people out of a cave on a coast is stuck in the mouth of that cave. In a short time, high tide will be upon them, and unless she is unstuck, they will all be drowned except the woman, whose head is out of the cave. Someone has with them, a stick of dynamite. There seems no way to get the pregnant woman loose without using the dynamite which will inevitably kill her; but if they do not use it everyone will drown. What should they do, and why.
There 'seems' to be no way, which could mean that there is a way. The first thing that comes to mind is that you mentioned that her head is out of the cave. Shout for help? She's on the coast, she's in a cave, and she's leading a group of people, which infers that this could be part of some sort of tour? If so, someone should realise something isn't right when they're not back after however long it's been. They may go to the cave, and try and free them from the outside, much easier.
But if none of this is possible, the only option would be to use the dynamite. In fact, I doubt there'd be too much of a choice. If there's a good number of people that are going to die, it only seems fair that the majority should go free. Also, they have the power to decide. They can all say, 'look, we don't much fancy drowning today, in a bit love.' That is, unless they're all feeling particularly friendly that day, and will all sacrifice themselves for her.
Also, if they decide against using the dynamite, she'll die anyway, right? If not, how will she get free, other than someone finding her? If someone is going to find her, there's no reason why they can't do it before the dynamite is used.

- 'heeeeeeeelp!'
- 'Did you hear that Captain?
- 'heeeeeelp!'
- 'Aye, I heard...there it was again, what is it?'
- 'It appears to be a womans head protruding from a cave on the coast, what should we do?'
- 'Proceed as normal, she's shouting for help, someone in that cave knows what he's doing.'
