Spin the wheel

Huxley's Gambit

What should blodders do with his wheel?

[Spoon of Ploff]

Fuck it. Lets get this done... as my Nan used to say.



So we've reached the final of Desolation Quest 2018. Think on this as an Exquisite Corpse but with words, and who can deny that some of the matches we've witnessed have produced some truly surreal works of art? Well.. Maybe Brian Sewell, but he's dead now.


Anyway...

the rules:

1. Each match will consist of two shots per player, except the final in which there are three shots per player.
2. Each round will have an opening theme supplied by the Administrator
3. There will be no limit on the word count of each shot, but each shot must contain one desolation only.
4. The player with the opening shot (i.e. the server) must link their desolation to the given theme for that round.  All subsequent shots can contain an element of the previous shot, or refer back to the given theme for that round.
5. Voting will take place by posting the name of your favourite in the game thread immediately after play has ended (i.e. when the 4th desolation of each match has been posted).  The voting will last for 48 hours.
6. Shots to be text only. No images or audio.
7. No death threats allowed.

And a reminder of time permitted:  You have 48 hours to post your desolation from when the round starts or from when the last shot has been posted. Keep a look out on your game for when your opponent posts their shot, as it's from that time that the 48 hours start. If you're feeling sporting, PM your opponent when you've played your shot.

No word limit is to allow everyone to play to their strengths, but keep in mind that a variety of shots may count in your favour come vote time (and lessen your opponent's ability to predict your play).

The Final theme word is holiday

WALL OF SHAME

[drummersaredeaf]

Fuck me, I was just looking over this way to see if the final had happened after a pig of a week at work made me miss the semis.

Do you even have a job, Sploff? Do you want more videos, Sploofs?

[Spoon of Ploff]

Fuck me, I was just looking over this way to see if the final had happened after a pig of a week at work made me miss the semis.

Do you even have a job, Sploff? Do you want more videos, Sploofs?

this is the only thing that gives my life meaning drummers.

[PlanktonSideburns]

Loving the no post shaming

[BlodwynPig]

Fuck me, I was just looking over this way to see if the final had happened after a pig of a week at work made me miss the semis.

Sorry about that

[Bazooka]

Being shamed feels awful, I blame the time zone difference.

[drummersaredeaf]

Sorry about that

There's no missing semis where you are concerned x

[Fishfinger]

this is the only thing that gives my life meaning drummers.

This is the only reason they take part. They don't have the heart to tell him.

[Spoon of Ploff]

This match is currently tied!!!

That means you could be the person who decides the winner!

Why not reach out to the players and sell your vote for untold wealth??

[Spoon of Ploff]

extending voting for another 24 hours.
.. if no one breaks the deadlock... i'm inclined to call this one a draw.

doing so would be quite poetical i reckon, given the following exchange:

what is point of saying "draw". we could all do it and then fucking what? fucking what!?

in the incredibly unlikely event of that happening. the administrator will cast the deciding vote.  oh wait, that's me isn't it?

[BlodwynPig]

There's always the wheel.

[Spoon of Ploff]

That's it. It's all done and dusted. Huxleys Babkins is the new Desolation Quest champion.

Well done. Well done. You win this lovely trophy, found at Joe (the hoarder) Brovil's lock up. Forks and spoons not included:



You also win a free ticket (value £0.00) to Doxey Marshes, Stafford to see Simon Zerox's perform his reenactment of the 2015 partial eclipse using a large piece of cardboard carved for the occasion, and (if it's cloudy) a torch.

Kudos to fishfinger who was also in the final.

A-and thanks again everyone who took part. That was some smashing desolation you delivered.. and we can all sleep a little uneasier for it.

Still time to get yer name off the list lads.

In my defence, I took a self-imposed week off CaB and I still voted so this is slander and or libel.

[pancreas]

In many ways, if you think about it, it was I, pancreas, who really won.
