[Baron Spikey]

I'll get the questions written up on my PC tomorrow (well later today for me) as I'm pretty knackered- hopefully get them sent to you before 12 noon EST

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

good luck with the interview. wed shgould be fine for me.

bring it on!

[Rhaalidor]

Dang, what happened to Monday? Just kidding. BTW, congrats to Stitch (if you lived in central Florida like me, and if your spouse worked for DISNEY, like me, you could see the new Stitch ride at the Magic Kingdom. If you can make it to Florida, let me know...I can get you in for free).

On a more serious note...I've been around this darned game since the late 80's (Rogue Trader...damn I'm old!). I feel privileged to be amongst the Level 3 competitors. Congrats to those of us who have made it this far, and kudos also to those who tried the last round. YOU GOT GUTS and some smarts too. Round three...BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Baron von Lexus]

Nice I made it to round 3 thats awesome... and you all wont belive this luck, I missed the question about Commissar Cain and guess what I read on my trip and kicked myself when I found out the answer... good books by the way.

[Baron Spikey]

Ha, I crushed D_C with Round 3. Mr Commando has dropped out of the quiz.

[Baron von Lexus]

Well I just tried... so whatever I get I'm cool with I already got plenty of satisfaction of making it round 3. I was winging it the whole way pretty much so I'm happy.

[Drax]

when i got to the question that asked for a date i was like: man i dont know any dates in the real world! let alone 40K

as BvL said, im really pleased i got to round three with very good 'marks' though knew from the get go that i was gonna sturggle in the higher rounds

good luck to those who didnt... ahem... loose courage!

[Baron Spikey]

I would have allowed some lee way regarding the date (by a decade each way, no more), but yeah they are fantastically hard...which makes the Masters Final (if used) even more intimidating as those questions are far and away the hardest you'll ever come across (much harder than any of the other conventional Rounds).

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

which is fitting for a final!

erm, do we have to try and figure out who sculpted the original zoat models or something?!!?

cheers!

[Baron Spikey]

don't know...that might be one of them

[Rhaalidor]

Hmmm...zoats. 40K or fantasy. (There were both.) The sculptors are....

I'm not telling. Unless it gets me extra credit.

[Rhaalidor]

We pretty much know who won, but can we get the results of the 3rd round. Thanks.

[Baron Spikey]

No. Either Stubber takes Round 3, he tells me that he isn't taking Round 3, or it gets to Monday. Those 3 options are the only way the results are being posted.

[munkey joe paints]

Been lookin for him Spikey but I have yet to see him! Hes the last, yea?

[Baron Spikey]

yeah, its looking like we wont need the Masters Final so its just a case of him taking Round 3 and then sorting out the the final placings and then me handing out the required Rep. (or me getting one of the Admin to do it as I can't personally hand out a specific amount)

[Baron Spikey]

well we've waited long enough- sorry Stubber...
