syuu, SPS, acidteardrop, porcelainwarrior, and GoW (in place of sjbbandgeek) must compete. Commie has immunity and automatically wins this round.

Only the top two scorers from this round, along with Commie, will continue in the competition.

The 3rd Challenge: Christmas Presents

Okay, well, most people know that I don't like Christmas (or any holiday) very much.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find me...

Teh Best Xmas Present Evar

Well, okay, just post a picture of what you would give me, if you could give me anything. Something so special that it would convince me into liking holidays again.

You have until 11:59pm CST on Monday night (5:59am Tuesday, Brits) to complete the challenge.

Go.

Right, well. I've gone and stalked you an industrial Kybosh, or InKy. This is the ONLY thing I could think of with enough impact to brighten your holidays, and I even wrapped it!



Sorry. I had to draw the bow on 'coz I suck at wrapping. Merry christmas, and I hope you like it. (The tag says 'for Missy')

.. Sure did take a lot of rope.

All right everyone, starting jockeying for second place!

god fucking da*mit! i was gonna do that

Watch your language, dear. I personally think it's hilarious that you bleeping "dammit" but not "f**king".

/me laughs

ok, so i was thinking for a second, and using my superior intellect (superiour to hamsters and gerbils) i decided what would be second place to giving InKy


Plane Tickets to England!! (I realise that, that's not exactly whats in the picture it is the best i could do when you take into account I'm paying for the internet by the minute until I phone AOL and shout at them for a bit then change to a different ISP) anyway, its the thought that counts!

I wanted to play along even though I know I'm not in it.

I saw this and thought of you



It's for those people that you just want to make shut up!

I hope you realize I meant for you to use it on other people, not for it to be used on you. /me pulls foot out of mouth. damn those clothes pins make it hard to get ones foot out of ones mouth.

lmfao, Lo.

I'll try to get my/sjbbandgeek's present made by the time limit tomorrow but I've been away from my computer and my lurvely, lurvely Photoshop for two days so I'm gonna have to do it tomorrow....so it'll probably be the last present in but....

just gimme a little while and I'll get it!

i just *had* to outdo SPS, even though I'm not officially in the competition:



Congratulations, Missy - you're now a fully naturalised British citizen! Snooty accent and constant tea-drinking not compulsory.

that wasnt it. i just had to share those. lol.
this is the page

and as for my gift, i give you my love.



in funky rainbow colors!

Ok......this is for you, o Dearest of all.....




It's Inky...and since I don't have his body I had to give him one..hope you like it....and a happy world (hence the flowers)....and I had to kinda steal the image from SPS but the idea was similar....tix to the UK in the other hand.....


um...ok. *hides*

Wow inky's all muscley and oily. That pic kicks ass goddess. Awesome job!

Thank you!


Photoshop 7.0


Where would I be without it?

Hey Missi....it's Tuesday!


I think my gift killed the thread.... oopsie.....

i think your gift kinda copied the others....it was still cool though

Yes yes, I know, I'll judge them when I come up with some criteria and have some time.

And your gift didn't kill the thread, dear, I think you just intimidated all the others!

Yesh it did....*looks abashed* but at least I admitted it! Unfortunately, too many of us had the same thought, I think....the happy world was original though!.....

Ah, well, I'll just have to make my challenges easier, so everyone doesn't come up with the same thing!

I think it's more that we all know what REALLY makes you happy, O Mastress!

(it's not a misspelling, it's a new word! hehe)

I don't think it's necessarily copying, just combining to make the ultimate gift.

Whats better than inky? Inky with plane tickets! What's better than Inky with plane tickets? Inky with plane tickets giving the world, and smothered in oil!

...

I am so disturbed.

And I like it...

*bump*


I'm dying with anticipation here! Ok, not really dying....doing the wiggle dance of anticipation!

Have you forgotten about us, Missy? Nooooooooooooo!!!! This cannot be!

Not forgotten, dear, just not feeling exceptionally judge-worthy as of late. It'll get done. Patience, m'dear.

Let the judging commence!

Criteria:

Practicality - 3
Humour - 3
Emotional Pull - 4
Extra (bonus pts.)

Here we go.l

syuu's gift - a newly-stalked InKy, gift-wrapped

Practicality: Uh... dunno how you would manage to stalk InKy - you do have a whole ocean to cross, you know - but assuming that you could do that, I'm sure he'd, uh, oblige and let himself be a present. Lot of rope, indeed.
Score: 2/3

Humour: Merry F**king Christmas. You gotta at least giggle a bit for that.
Score: 2/3

Emotional Pull: You and I both know that this is, in fact, the best present I could get. I laughed and teared up at the same time when I saw your gift here within (literally) minutes of my post. No one knows me better than you, dear.
Score: 4/4

Extra: Gift wrap. And you sucked up to me earlier this week. Yes, I know I didn't say that cotestants could do that, but I never said they couldn't either.
Bonus: +2

Total: 10/10

SPS's gift - plane tickets to the UK

Practicality: Probably the most feasible thing up here. Although if you'd actually gotten them for me, you'd have won this round, no contest.
Score: 3/3

Humour: Well, it's not funny - it's practical. Though the fact that you didn't really get me a picture of the actual gift is mildly amusing.
Score: 1/3

Emotional Pull: Not quite the gravity of the person in the flesh, but with your gift, I could go see a lot of other people too!
Score: 4/4

Extra: Aww, you spent real money on me to post your gift, didn't you? That's almost sweet, except that I know that wasn't your intention. You get a bonus point anyway.
Bonus: +1

Total: 9/10

ATD's gift - cartoons and a multicoloured heart to represent love

Practicality: Well, it's cute. And who can say that they don't want any more love?
Score: 2/3

Humour: Any laughter that might have escaped my mouth was definitely killed by the cartoons... I know you said they're not a part of the gift, but they really aren't funny to me. At all.
Score: 1/3

Emotional Pull: Love is good. Even if it is in seven different colours. I feel cheated, though, where's my black love? Or my white love? Or my pink love? Hmm. Also, this occurred to me: if you're just now giving me your love, does that mean I didn't have it before? Shouldn't love be a default for entering this competition in the first place?
Score: 2/4

Extra: You get an originality style point, because you were the only one who didn't make your gift associated with InKy or Britdom.
Bonus: +1

Total: 6/10

Rattgirl's gift, in place of sjbbandgeek - a half-naked InKy bearing gifts

Practicality: The concept is, of course, nice, but I cannot possibly imagine a happy world ever being accomplished... call me a pessimist... much less ever being given to me. What would I do with it? *puzzlement*
Score: 1/3

Humour: I laughed. A lot. OMG, the oiled body. I am so saving this picture and pulling it out when I'm sad.
Score: 3/3

Emotional Pull: InKy is good, but I'm not sure I can deal with the sexiness of whoever's body you've stolen... I like my InKy just the way he is, no offense. Though the one you've provided is jumpable beyond belief... does sudden horniness count as emotional pull?
Score: 3/4

Extra: Your Photoshop work is amazing. It really is. Everything I've seen that you've made has been incredible. You have talent.
Bonus: +1

Total: 8/10

porcelainwarrior's gift - nothing

Practicality: Trust me, I get a lot of this each year. I use a lot of nothing. Very kind of you to provide me with something I need.
Score: 1/3

Humour: Well, your gift's unfunny in itself, but I'm cracking myself up with my review.
Score: 1/3

Emotional Pull: Nothing... begets more nothing. And more nothing. I feel nothing. At all. Perfectly indifferent. Meh.
Score: 0/4

Extra: You're the only contestant here who, despite their inability to post this round, managed to get points. You are a true champion.
Bonus: +1

Total: 3/10

1st - Commie - Immunity

3rd - SPS - 9/10
