Haha, I knew that one was gonna crush me completely. Thanks to V's subtle trickery of how much time we had :p Either way, i'm most likely going to have to drop out since i'm leaving tomorrow, but I was next on the kill list anyway.

This thing is getting pretty fun.

[Zero]

sooooooo - when does the killing begin????


(not that i've got an itchy trigger finger or anything but. . . i'm a monkey with a machine gun - what did you expect me to do!!)

The third and final reply, came from Finalist Despare.

"Should we be up front with children who ask about monsters about the kinds of evil that are out in the world? In what ways does believing in monsters help children understand the world?"


"Of course we should be up front with children, the only way to help them avoid evil in this world is to try and help them understand it. Now I’m not saying we need to graphically describe every horrible thing that can happen to a kid but they should know that not everybody is good and that there is always going to be danger around. I like monsters because they’re easy to explain for the most part, much easier than humans. Monsters are often, with a few exceptions, created to personify an evil and to truly be something terrifying and/or deadly. People have much more gray area and all the evils of this world are difficult to explain because they can be much more terrifying than anything on the silver screen. I don’t think a child believing that a monster exists helps them per se, but I think that knowing that the atrocities committed by monsters can be real is helpful. You can tell a little boy not to go outside at night because Dracula will get him and probably keep the little guy from leaving the house later than you would like but that wouldn’t help him in the least. On the other hand, if you sit your boy down and explain to him that there really are people out there who will try and tempt him to go with them he can be more aware. Knowing what could potentially happen is powerful and if you don’t talk to your kids about the “bad people” in this world and what they need to look out for you’re leaving them unarmed. Not telling your kid that a teacher or priest shouldn’t touch them in a certain way is leaving them vulnerable and even with our creatures out there to be the faces of evil that’s a tough thing to convey to a kid. It all boils down to what you show the child and how you explain it, for instance, I personally wouldn’t sit my six year old girl down and show her I Spit On Your Grave to teach her about human monsters and rape. I would however show her Frankenstein and talk to her about prejudice, violence, mob mentality, and death among other things and I honestly think having such a concrete visual teaching aid would be very helpful. I hope I’ve answered your question and while I know that a lot of this is just my opinion I feel very strongly that children should be educated and talked to, not patronized and shielded from reality."



This is what esteemed Judge Austin316426808 had to say in his verdict...

"8/10. Reward."


Congrats, Despare!! You win a Rocket Launcher, with 2 Rockets!! (to go alongwith TWO bonus HPs you win for the 08 points)


Very well done indeed.





Now we go into The Zone...


...next.

[_____V_____]

THE HUNTING SEASON - ROUND OF THREE


Both the armed Finalists will be doing the hunting, and of course they can shoot anyone (even each other).

Be reminded, however, that The Predator is still on the loose inside The Zone, which is divided into three sectors - A, B & C.

Each of you Finalists have to send in your selection of sector in which you think The Predator hides. FAILURE TO CHOOSE A SECTOR WOULD MEAN YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE BLASTED ONCE BY IT'S PLASMA BEAM!

You have to complete your hunting by Midnight EST. If you fail to fire your arsenal till then, you stand to be shot twenty times by the Snipers in the watchtowers!

All the best!

RESULTS OF THE HUNTING SEASON - ROUND OF THREE


The timeline clock reveals this :-


- Hunter Despare hid quietly, waiting for Finalist Posher778 to come through the bushes. Sure enough, Posher did come in after a while, carefully surveying the sorroundings. Despare took careful aim, and let a rocket fly!

BLAM!

Posher778 heard the low whistle, but he didnt have enough time to dodge the full impact of the rocket. He was thrown over to one side, feeling dizzy with his body wracked in numerous pain spasms, as plenty of deep gashes and wounds sprung up all over him. By the time he hit the ground and got his HPs out, he was already bleeding profusely. 5 used HPs made him fit again, with 4 left in his possession.


- Hunter Zero looked on as Despare made mincemeat of Posher. He picked up his machine-gun and clamoured below his favorite tree, silently into the bushes. Soon, he came within range of Posher who was breathing heavily after applying HPs to himself. He picked up his Machine Gun and aimed directly at Posher's chest, then squeezed the trigger.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Six shots ripped through the air and thudded into Posher's chest. Posher gave out a loud groan and slumped forward, gathering his HPs very slowly and applying them to himself one at a time. After all 4 HPs were used up, Posher rolled to one side, wounded, some unhealed bleeding wounds making him weak.

Zero tucked his machine gun to one side and swung into the trees.

Silly unbelieving monkey, thought Despare, as he walked forward with intent to where Posher lay gasping for air amidst loud groans of wincing pain. Despare took one look at him, and re-loaded his Rocket Launcher with the second rocket he had with him.

Posher heard the click and looked at Despare with alarm and sudden dread in his eyes. Despare took aim, just as Posher tried to crawl away, and fired.

BLAM!

The rocket blasted right in Posher's chest, which burst open into loud chunks of burning flesh and sizzling blood. The immense blinding pain brought a huge wave of darkness with it, and Posher gladly merged into it with a final deep sigh.

Zero looked on, and smiled smugly.


POSHER778 IS DEAD!!


A pair of bright, white lights narrowed within the branches of a tall tree nearby. The Predator zoomed into a Finalist sitting on the top branch of another tree, and fired it's plasma beam.

THWUNK!

Zero felt a dull pain on his right side. He had swung slightly to have a better look at Posher's body, which had saved him from getting the full blast of The Predator. However, his lower back and waist area was on fire and he fell down from the tree, clutching his side. Zero howled once, and took his stock of HPs out to heal himself. 15 of them saved his life yet again, and he was fit just as the gates were thrown back open for both of them to walk back in.


And now we are down to the FINAL TWO...


Rest through the night...the next (and possibly final) Quest for both of you comes sometime tomorrow morning.
