We're too busy trying to find unique pics of each answer even though we do not need to be.

Someone send me all their pics, I'll put them in my own photobucket account and send it in.

Sorry, but we are advancing in Battle Royale. So the Challenge does get tougher...and will get increasingly tougher.

So, all of those who thought you would merely forward someone else's PMed screencaps, think again...and start hunting those DVDs (or VHSes) down. ;)

That way you all can help each other out.

It was this way in the first Battle Royale...It was this way in the second Battle Royale...I feel it would be safe to think it will be the same this time around...

I asked several times if anyone needed help...I sent the links so that everyone could get their own shots...

It is. Everyone who has played BR before knows this. And it is there for a reason since this particular Challenge was inducted in BR for the first time.

(Remember during the first Battle Royale, Urge stayed up practically ALL NIGHT taking screencaps of one-second intervals for his Ash's Chainsaws team!)

That is why everyone are in teams. It's about finding the answers together as a team and working as a well-oiled and coordinated unit (one goes to find a bunch of Changeling SCs, while another tackles FD4, a third looks around for Dust Devil, etc.), and not merely being a lazyass sitting on your bum waiting for someone to pass you the answers and merely forwarding them off to me.

What good does that do for your own self and for your team? Surely in the 72-odd hours (in one Challenge I had given 5 whole days time!), members should find enough time to come online and do some co-ordination with each other.

I guess I don't have the will or free time in my life to look for specific points in films I don't own to send you a slightly different picture than my teammates so I'll just send you the 4 pictures I do have. I have maybe 5-10 minutes per day to devote to this site. I pop in vote on a tournament or two and check this for any updates.

When people complete their own challenge, they don't have to try to get a different image, it just happens naturally...A 30-second shot contains quite a few different images, the chance that 2 people out of 10 will get the SAME image is pretty slim...In a 5 second shot, the chance that you will have very similar images from more than 5 people is high, but unavoidable...Percentage of probablity dictates how much effort (if any) someone puts into these challenges

You only have to make sure you have a different image, if you are getting 'help' from someone else, and if there are a wide range of image possibilities.

If he didn't just send 4 pictures...

Sweet. THANK YOU, Rayne for picking up on that.

:(

I know it's a pain, but if that's the rules of the challenge, that's the rule... Come ON, team effort!

You're just ambivalent because you know they won't be targeting you if we lose. :mad:
