Title:Forever and a Day

Conclusion:As the Shy Guy walks through the forest one last time, he encounters the machine, yet again, which has by now transformed into a strange,living creature by feeding off his and his friend's misery as they wander through the forest. It then rises up, shouting: "Hah hah! You have fallen within my clutches! I shall destroy you, slowly, painfully, so your misery makes me strong!"

See, it turns out the whistling was the machine getting a little bit stronger by the fact the Shy Guy's were sad about the bakery being closed. By seperating the friends in this endless would, he increased that misery tenfold, and is now one of the most powerful beings on Earth.

But it is now that (Plot Device!) Shyguy finds one of his friends. the machine starts to, uh, devolve, I guess you could say. The two friends start to regain hope at this fact, and the machine shrinks further. They start to run through the forest, machine behind, in an effort to find the other two, raise their hopes and happiness up, and utterly destroy this disturbing creature. Unfortuantely, after they find the third friend, it turns out the fourth is dead. Feeding off this misery,the machine grows to epic proportions.Shy Guys try and stay calm, realizing the only way to win is to not despair.

However, the monster moves out of Forevewr Forest and moves toward the city. As he destroys and destroys, he grows and changes into that of a semi-god, or so he proclaims.

Meanwhile, the friends plunge deep into the wood, now guided by the spirit of their dead frienc, ssearch for the temple with the machine inside it that will reverse all this monster has done and make everyone but the shyguyss forget, an therefore raise the hope and happiness up to an ginormous amount, and smiting the monster, once and for all.

Thus setting up a sequel movie!

Ah yes. The desert. This place is very dry & flat. Cacti & very very very very small rocks that are yellowish are here. Tumbleweed is also very easy to see here. Very little water appears here, & if there is, it's usually the oasis. At opposite-of-daylight, The desert becomes very active.

[Fireyoshi42]

The desert?Sure I'll talk about that!
At day-time it is very,very,VERY,hot.
It is also very,very,VERY dry too!
After 7:00pm it starts to get very,very,VERY wet+cold.
Also,after 7:00pm a lot of activity starts.

[Viceroy Nute Gunray]

The fluffy white clouds up high make various shapes if you look at them. They are whatever you make them out to be. Use your creativity and look at them closely. This is a hobby for some people. You might see a prehistoric creature, a truck or perhaps a hamburger! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[L007 is Cooler than Dylan]

If I were to look up at the sky, I would see shapes of which I am able to form other shapes out of them. Of course, it all is based throughout the head for what may form up there. This would give much time to come up with types of poetry to occupy the time.

[Prince Toad]

The desert is a place of true beauty. Cacti everywhere. Cacti are great, right? They sure are. Cactus, cactus, cactus. They've got sharp quills, though, so watch out if you're by a cactus-- you might get hurt.

There's other stuff that lives there too, of course. Like... say... coyotes. They eat rabbits. Quite a lot, I hear. They must really like the taste.

There's also yellow powdery gravel (whatever you call that) as far as the eye sees, a bright azure sky, the yellow orb above that pours heat below. There is quite a variety of wildlife-- creatures as well as flora.

It's truly a sight to see. Go there if you're able-- you'll appreciate the fact that you had. Trust me about this.

[Super N]

Not part of the message:i'll use the silver coin.
-----
The clouds hold all hope of the future. The bright rays of gold light, streaming through to our earth. The clouds take shapes; they become what they desire to become.

Fluff; white; beautiful. It calls to you. Come forth, dear child...fuse with the clouds...peace...calm...? Or is it? You wish, you dream, you see all earth. It disturbs you...

But we should forget earth. Look to the clouds. See their hopes? Their wishes? For peace, after all this time...they are perfect...pure...you see their thoughts...a cat? A chef? A baseball glove, plus a bat? What will you see?

But the clouds will become evil as well. The storm, chaotic. Black. But right here, at this time, they are peaceful. Quiet. Relish the clouds. Feel their dreams...what are yours?

[Fireyoshi42]

My dream is to find out where the internet is,and what it is.

Ctrl-F "n"

Sorry, Sarcasm. To get that extra scoreage you could have just said "I'll use the item I just got" or a similar phrase like that which evaded using the letter "n". Look carefully and you'll see that I was able to dodge the use of that letter as well throughout this particular paragraph... be more creative, or at least improvise.

But a lot of you just seemed to only care about avoiding using the n. You could have scored a nice 12 points, but instead ya sacrificed a lot of quality and got 10 or 9 points for it. And there is a certain item that nullifies a bonus in a challenge, so if somebody had that and used it after you all did that you would have been screwed. Heh.

Hopefully the first large challenge will be this coming Monday. If something ends up happening that day, I'll tell you all about it and I'll just reschedule it.

Small task (maximum of 720 points)
Lottery time. I've got 16 cards - there are four red ones, four green ones, four blue ones, and four yellow ones. Each color has the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 on their cards. I'll draw 4 cards at random from these, but before I do, you all get to place your bets. Place at minimum 1 point and at maximum 20 points on four of these cards and hope for all four matches. Each time you score a match, you win 4 times the bet on that specific card (you don't have to put the same amount on each card). If you are extremely lucky and match every card, your total wagered gets multiplied tenfold. So you could earn quite a lot here if you feel lucky. Don't participate and you automatically lose 4 points, so you have to bet.

Bonus (Bowser whistle): Bet on the yellow 3. (first applied poster only)
Bonus (15 points): Wager more than half of your current score total.

Oh, and the Bowser whistle is an item that when used makes the next challenge a Bowser Challenge, where there are no winners, only losers.

[Prince Toad]

I'll bet 13 on the yellow 3, 8 on the green 1, 7 on the blue 1, and 6 on the blue 4.

[The Missing Link]

Bet:

20 on Red 1
20 on Blue 1

Here's a hint to those who haven't bet: Given my score, if you make the assumption that all bets on the numbers bet upon must be the same, my wager produces the best possible average outcome; on average, it will win 37.80 points. Will yours?

[L007 is Cooler than Dylan]

I bet five on Blue 3 and Red 4.

I also sick my Boo on SM1987

**Sig goes here, computer restarted due to storm**

[Super N]

Wait a minute, S1x, I protest! I said that that "I'll use the silver coin)wasn't part of the message! I should get the full 12 points(well, 24, but you know)!

Please don't take points away if you disagree...I'm just trying to state my claim.

Er, anyways...I'll bet 5 points on each one: Red 1, Green 2, Blue 3, Yellow 4.

[Viceroy Nute Gunray]

Bleh, s1x [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm going to bet 2 on Yellow 1, 1 on Yellow 2, 2 on Yellow 3 and 5 on Yellow 4.

[Link2000]

20 on Red 1
20 on Yellow 2
20 on Blue 3
20 on Green 4

[Fireyoshi42]

10 for Green 1,2,3,and 4.

[S1x]

Maybe if enough others agree with ya, Sarcasm, I'll issue 14 extra points. Start the convincing.

Okay, this could change things around a lot, depending on which cards will be randomly chosen from the 16. Any bets not made that are not all of the four cards are measured as 1 discarded point. Alright, and now, according to my random number generator...

The first card is the red 2.
The second card is the... yellow 2.
The third card is the... green 2, and
The final number will be... hey, look at that, the yellow 4. Now I'll check all of your wagers, and...

Luigi007 - 158 (+36) (rank +3)
Sarcasm - 145 (+20)
Knux - 129 (+14) (rank +3)
Chunky - 123 (rank -1)
Fireyoshi - 120
Link2000 - 113 (+15) (rank +1)
Prince Toad - 100 (-34) (rank -6)
SML - 95 (rank +1)
TML - 53 (-42) (rank -1)
SM1987 - 47 (-48)

Items:
Prince Toad - Boo, Bowser Whistle

That sure changed things around a lot. But hey, this thing's still only just begun, and I don't even know what the target score is yet. There'll be a lot more opportunities still, and the first large challenge will come soon, so keep your hopes up.

This next challenge will only last for a few hours.

Small task (maximum of 6 points)
Give a quote that I would never say.

Bonus (random item): Also give a quote that I might use in the future, but you haven't actually seen me say. (best 3 posts only)
