Jack Nicholson Giveaway!!! (Oct 25 - 28)

Christian Taylor3 said:I’ve still got exactly 11 questions left to tackle. 🙈

And just look at how much work I've actually put in. Good grief, seriously, I am such a total idiot. 😁

Man, what a disaster, where on earth are the answers??? You haven't even touched a single one of them! 😠

And me too—just exhausted, working myself to the bone all day long. What a life—when you can't even participate in a sweepstakes for Jack Nicholson like a normal person.😕😂

Who knows if there were even any attempts, or if I should just go throw in the towel.🤷

Question number 9

JUST ANSWERED IT!

12 cleared

(server's back to those yellow minutes again😠)

10 handled

Everything’s been totally locked up since yesterday around 8 PM, so I couldn't even attempt to answer those questions—mostly because I couldn't even see them.

@dragon

It would be pretty fair if you extended that submission deadline by another 24 hours. That is, assuming the server doesn't decide to crash on us again. 😠

I also couldn't get my responses sent over on Thursday because the server was acting up... so I just sent them all now.

Answered items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12.

Replied to everything 🙂.

If this thing actually hangs on until tonight—say, around 8:00 PM—then I’ll probably go ahead and get those responses sent over...

Also... the server has been down since Thursday evening, so I was wondering if it might be possible to get those answers sent over sometime today?

You had a full 96 hours to make a move, but you guys decided to wait until the final 4... 🤣 🤣

plus an extra two days just for those final four hours 🤣
total slackers 😈
just send it over. It's up to the dragon to decide when the deadline actually hits.

I think I've sent over answers to all those questions, so if everything looks good and meets your expectations, then maybe we can move forward...

It’ll run for at least another 3 hours, but I can't say for sure about the rest..
So far, I've tackled: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Hilarious.

A ton of people claimed they were going to address everything after the very last question—yeah, right, specifically during that window from Thursday evening through Friday morning. They could have answered, obviously, but clearly, they didn't.

Whether it was funny or not doesn't even matter.. 🙂

The reality is you guys just bought yourselves an extra two days to come up with answers because you didn't want to, were too lazy, or maybe just left it up to fate instead of actually answering questions sooner..

..and now that waiting period is totally backfiring on you.. honestly, I don't feel bad about it at all, since this has nothing to do with this forum or the giveaway.. it’s just one of those life things where if you keep pushing stuff off, it eventually blows up in your face.. 😉

I don't get why people try to act so smart and dump all their answers in one big pile at the end, especially when the game was literally designed for day-by-day responses (even if it wasn't strictly one question at a time)—that option was only there as a courtesy for people who can't be online every single day..

Whatever... I'm gonna go do something actually productive 😬

Everything's finished—just about to hit send. Honestly, they should probably extend the deadline, too; the server has been acting up for two days now.

Heh, I knew this would happen. I just knew this damn server was going to act up again. 😢

That’s why I dug through my archives to find Dragonrage’s email address and made sure to get those responses sent over before midnight.

But honestly, I trust that jadan Dragonrage will take your pleas into consideration. 👍

Tactics should be allowed as long as you aren't breaking any rules.

For instance, I was actually one of those people writing my answers down on paper with the intention of submitting them all at the very end of the game.
That approach worked for me because, while looking for answers to the final day's questions, I stumbled upon several movie titles (from that set of 12 images) that I couldn't figure out which specific question they belonged to.
The same thing happened with question 10; the later clarification that it was more about association than an anagram really helped. My first guess was an anagram... and honestly, that anagram made sense and could easily have been considered the correct answer for question 10... but once it was mentioned that it was based on association, I went back to look for a different possibility... so now my answer is likely right, whereas before it probably would have been wrong.

And playing it smart is part of the game.

Even if I had spent the last three hours of the deadline hunting for all the answers, I still don't see the issue.🤷If everyone were required to respond on the exact same day a question was posted, then sure, maybe that would be the rule, but it wasn't necessarily defined that way.

jadan Dragonrage,...one guy is just trying to do his best without being forced to, yet suddenly a whole crowd is demanding he hand over everything immediately.😁

Whatever Grandma wanted, she ended up dreaming about anyway.I honestly don't see any confirmation about those extra two days anywhere; the deadline to submit a response supposedly passed at midnight this past Thursday.

So, that whole waiting game finally backfired on them, and honestly, I can’t say I’m feeling even a little bit bad about it. It’s got nothing to do with this forum or the giveaway itself; it’s just one of those things. Life has this funny way of working where if you keep pushing things off and delaying the inevitable, eventually everything just falls through your fingers. 😉

Honestly, I’ve got this nagging pain shooting from my left testicle right up into my eye socket. It's the right one, too. I can't even get a decent night's sleep anymore because of it. You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

I honestly don't get why people feel the need to lecture everyone and dump all their answers in one massive pile at the end. If this game was actually designed for a day-by-day back and forth—even if we aren't strictly following a question-for-question format—it’s because that's the point. I think the flexibility was left there as a courtesy for people who might have lives outside the screen and can't be glued to the internet every single day.

The rules of the game are pretty straightforward: everyone needs to get their responses in by midnight on Thursday. You can either send them over one by one or just bundle everything into a single message if that’s more your style. That's how it works. Anything else is just people trying to sound smart or wasting everyone's time with unnecessary chatter.

Just send your replies via DM to whoever started the game.

Look, with all this back-and-forth tension, I have to ask: is it possible to send them over or not? Honestly, I’m not trying to be difficult or drag things out, so I won't be sitting here flooding everyone with answers right now—it would be pretty unfair to the others. Even though the server was down, it just wouldn't be right to those people who were grinding day in and day out, knowing the answers to these exact questions the very same day they were asked. Dragonrage, you really knocked it out of the park with this one; seriously, kudos to you!

I also feel strongly that we should honor the submissions from those who sent their answers the moment the server was back online; clearly, they had the knowledge ready to go, they just didn't have the technical means to hit send.

Man, honestly. Like I mentioned before, he basically lost three hours because the site went down right at 9 PM, even though everything had to be submitted by midnight. I’ve just got no clue when the site actually came back online, so I can't say for sure when those three hours happened.
