Game Master Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) It’s been a thrilling challenge. We’ve come along way: teammates and friends were made, a former janitor knew how to defeat the cabal, and we got some sexy back leg. Our final three all stood above the rest. Disco, the consummate storyteller, took us on a journey with Spike. Vela produced the banana sticker hype video we didn’t know we needed. The Annoying One braves parts of the internet others fear to tread. All are the best of the best. Now it’s time to choose the one that wins it all. The challenge was to create… challenges. The one who will have done it best will have crafted challenges that inspire the next survivors to push their teammates and themselves beyond their limits. Here are the submissions: Edited August 13, 2023 by Game Master 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been 20 years; you remember when you and your [asmb] pals would talk for HOURS on AIM ; ] about all the great shows the [as] lineup had. Suddenly, you jolt up! You hit the computer, and make your way to the “[asmb] 20th reunion” folder. The gang is all here! (your team) You send out your SOS, and share your plan!! Challenge: compose a story that tells of how your team will find a way to slip away from the Williams St. Studio tour, hack into the computer main frame, and change the streaming lineup, to the 2003 lineup. (think Ocean’s Eleven, or ‘3000 miles to Graceland’ ), before the end of the tour, and not get caught. (Disguises are highly recommended) 1. You can change up to the entire week’s lineup, and you must use the 2003 [as] available shows. But the additions must be subtle enough as to not draw too much attention. (example: Monday-current show, current show, 2003 show, CS, CS, 2003.) 2. You may use any current, or past [as] personality (Eric A., Tim or Eric, Dr. Steve Brule…anyone) to run interference, or to place blame. 3. If you actually know how to hack mainframes; don’t do this for real. Bonus point, if your lineup can show some sort of theme. (i.e. robots, or witches, etc. ) SOLO CHALLENGE You and your team were successful, maybe a little TOO successful, Mr. X, an unknown majority stockholder of Williams St. Studios, wants YOU to come up with a pilot show, about your shenanigans of breaking into Williams St. Studios. The stipulation is that you must find at least “4” items: (1) a catchy theme song, [you must come up with an intro song-bonus points if you record song and post] (2) cast an anime character OR live action character to play you, and each of your team members, (3) create a press release ‘meme’, (“4”) find the exact correct time slot for your last challenge’s lineup.

Feeling somewhat defeated, you decide to crawl into bed. But first, you decide to check for any updates in the UEMB. You log in, and instantly see a PM from a somehow-unnamed user. "Attention, Team! Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have determined that our current elected official is unfit for duty. He is, however, refusing to step down. That's where you come in. You must find a way to have him removed from office (legally) and have [classic_swim] elected in his place. You may do this however you see fit. However, there are ground rules that you must follow. 1.) This is not a smear campaign. You are trying to remove someone from office, but you must not present damaging evidence against this official. 2.) You may use outside help, if needed. Any UEMBer or [as] star willing to help you, as long as you do the majority of the work. 3.) How you achieve this goal is entirely up to you. Write a lengthy letter to the higher-ups, make memes proving his inability to lead effectively, post a short video of unnamed sources who have the evidence you need. Full anonymity must be promised to those featured in these videos. SOLO CHALLENGE Your plan to shift the balance of power was an astounding success. Exhausted, you crawl into bed and turn on the TV. The breaking news story immediately catches your attention. "[classic_swim] looking for someone to run as co-commissioner alongside him." Your mind starts racing. You know you have what it takes to earn your rightful place in office. You do wonder how your teammates will react to this, but you know they'll support you all the way. That's just the kind of bond you have. 1.) Make your case for being elected co-commissioner. 2.) Tell a short story, make memes, gifs, or videos. 3.) You may use endorsements from any UEMB member or [as] character you choose. 4.) You may campaign all over the UEMB, but do it respectfully. On 8/11/2023 at 8:52 PM, Vela said: TEAM CHALLENGE As it turns out, Packard was not happy that the 96 Hours of Packard lost to Banana Stickers Day and has vowed to go on a porkchop toasting spree. Your mission as a team is to devise a plan to stop him. 1. Draw up blueprints to any elaborate traps you may conceive of. (can be a description, pic of a hand drawing, there's a free website called sketch.io with no downloading required, pick one form that your entire team is comfortable with.) 2. Put the word out using any of the following: Flyers, mass email, social media, and even YouTube. Please be sure to include any [adult swim] or UEMB personality of your choice. 3. Lure Packard to said trap or traps. Please be sure to capture him ALIVE! Anything that results in Packard's death will disqualify your team. 4. ?????????????? 5. PROFIT! INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGE Brought together by their love of SCIENCE! three deranged researchers who go by the names Insipid, atomicinumatt, and Lasty have been conducting experiments involving splicing and dielectric media. Lured in by the promise of an indestructible Jeep that never needs suspension realignment, never experiences pinion seal or transfer box or A-pillar leakage, shifter cable never bushes, and whose throttle position sensor never fails, Rogue_Alphonse replied to their ad to be a test subject. The result?: he gained the superhuman ability to control photon energies (i.e. he can scramble radio waves all up and down the electromagnetic spectrum. But don’t worry - he uses it mostly to spam your devices with endless walls of emoji. But I mean, with his level of photonic energy you might as well just throw your device away and start over.) THE CHALLENGE: Space Ghost has caught wind of the new superhero on the rise. Rogue has been called in for an interview. 1. Come up with a quick sketch episode/interview showcasing rogues' new powers (what all he’s capable of and how he might use them.) 2. All questions must be in the form of a question. 3. Keep it classy. There may be children listening. Any questions that result in the fictitious death of something (pets, persons) will be disqualified. (extra points assigned for those who can get rogue to actually answer your questions himself. You can mix up your fabricated answers with his actual answers and we can try to guess which ones are his. BWAHAHAHA think of the PMs he'll get.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throwing that out there There’s a very real possibility I may have to take some time away from the boards in the not-too-distant future myself, which means I would probably have to drop out myself. Why do I feel like we’re making things a lot harder for the challenge makers here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still a fun experience despite that. I had a feeling someone would come back to beat me, so I’m not too upset about it. I’m actually really proud of my submission in this round, even if it wasn’t quite enough. You are absolutely right, though. It seems like every loss we endured in this game came at the last possible minute. I still had fun, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
