Round 3 Results: Everyone that did not pick D for the snake obviously does not know how to use the forum search function. :U

Round 4 Results: The correct answer was A! While I love many Pokémon of basically all the types, and my absolute favourite, Shellos, is Water-type, a lot of the Pokémon that I love are Grass-type, and it's a type that I'm generally rather fond of (which is extra funny considering that I'm botanophobic in real life >_>). Back to some overall Nintendo-related stuff with this next questions. :3

Round 5 Results: The correct answer was F! While it's probably a death sentence to admit on a Pokémon board, Pokémon is not actually my favourite Nintendo franchise. >_> That said, everyone who did answer submitted the correct series, which is Fire Emblem, so my love of FE seems to be rather well known. Pokémon definitely take a firm spot in the second place category, though. Building off of that, let's take a look at the FE fighters available in another Nintendo series (Smash Bros.), shall we?

Round 6 Results: The correct answer was D! As an incredibly sucky and casual SSB player, Robin is definitely my favourite character to play in Smash these days. Using her sword for standard attacks and magic for special moves makes her quite a lot of fun to play. :3 Ike was my main in SSBB and I still use him occasionally, as I use Lucina sometimes as well. Marth and Roy I haven't really touched much since older games (especially since Roy is DLC locked now), and I've never actually played as Corrin because DLC. I will likely buy his amiibo once it's available, though, since I already have all the other FE amiibos.

Anyway, let's move away from video games for a bit for a pretty classic questions:

Round 7 Results: The correct answer was A! I do love both Star Trek and Star Wars, though SW wins out overall as it's had the much larger impact on my life over the years, especially the Extended Universe of novels and comics. And speaking of things that have had a large impact on my life, this next round involves what was basically the formative TV show of my childhood, and something I still love strongly to this day...

Out of curiosity, who were you thinking of?

 

[bbninjas]

Human Luna!

"You are Human Luna and innocent. You are a gashapon figure that the GM bought at an anime convention many, many years ago and has somehow withstood the test of time with all of your bits and pieces intact (though your right arm does tend to fall off occasionally). Human Luna is one of the GM’s favourite minor Sailor Moon characters and you have a matching plush on the plush shelves, too."

Ah, yes, I do love Human Luna! You can see her cat form in this picture; she's the dark purple cat to the left at the bottom. The other two cats (Diana and Artemis, from left to right), also have human forms, though they're less prominent (manga-only characters, whereas Human Luna effectively got a movie).

 

[Athena]

Round 8 Results: The correct answer was J! I love all of the Sailor Senshi, and I have multiple favourite Sailor Moon characters, but Sailor Pluto is the ultimate top tier. I even admin a Sailor Moon fan group under the name Setsuna (Pluto's civilian name). Funnily enough, the only person to get this right is the person who submitted the wrong letter by accident *cough*, which just goes to show that I clearly need to talk about my love of Sailor Moon everywhere more. And now let's move onto a round that might get your mouths watering... (it did for me, anyway)

Also, since we're about halfway, I'm going to post some anonymous standings! The player in the lead currently has 5 points. Last place is currently a tie between multiple people with 3 points each. If you'd like a reminder of your current point total, you're welcome to ask me privately.

 

[thegrovylekid]

Oh wow. If I were still alive, I'd have gotten the Sailor Moon question!

Except I'm not :/

 

[Athena]

When posting the last round, I updated the day of the week the round ends but not the date itself. This has since been corrected. Good luck everyone. :3

 

[Athena]

Round 9 Results: The correct answer was B! Most people got this right, probably because this post was so easy to search for. I also made sure to specifically pick a picture that had normal sushi instead of those weird crazy rolls with tonnes of stuff in/on them because I don't like those ones. >.> Though all of these foods are very tasty to me. :U I'm late again (I blame illness), but at least the images for this next round were pretty easy to create.

Round 10 Results: The correct answer was G! Only one person got this right, though I blame that more on the lack of submissions more than because it's a difficult question or anything. After all, teal is even my chosen modly-voice colour. Time for our festive question!

Round 11 Results: The correct answer was D! Clearly Halloween is the best for everything: free candy, cool decorations, dressing up in fun costumes, alcohol, and no familial or present-related obligations. It's just plain fun! Only one person got this, though. A lot of people submitted Christmas, which I don't actually like much at all. >.> I really dislike both receiving and giving presents (which so much of the holiday and its marketing is geared towards) and I don't really care much for how in-your-face stores, etc. are with Christmas decorations and things. Also, having worked several years in retail, I have come to absolutely loathe Christmas music.

Anyway, let's take a bit of a trip with the next round, shall we? :3

Round 12 Results: The correct answer was A! Had I hosted this contest a few years ago, B would have won out for sure, but hubby and I went to Curaçao on our honeymoon and I learned about the wonders of SNORKELING. So now I am hooked on beaches.

Now, it just so happens that I'm running late again... *sigh* It's been a very busy week for me, and doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon. As such, Round 13 is going to be a really, really easy round (seriously, guys, don't overthink it) in hopes of encouraging people to submit early so maybe we can get back on track. Pretty please? With sugar on top?

TFW you were hoping this round would be done by now but only 2 people have submitted so far.

 

[Athena]

Round 13 Results: The correct answer was B! ... no, not really, it was A, come on, that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. :U I don't have anything against Digimon, I don't even know anything about it, but you guys do all know that I'm a Pokémon fan, and I flat out said that it would be easy. And not even everyone submitted (though I guess I can forgive BV since he's going through a hurricane and all). Anyway, I'm running out of this to think up for this game, so, uh, have something kind of random :U

There are still FOUR ROUNDS LEFT including this one, which is perfect because there is a 4 point difference between 1st and last place! This means it could still be anyone's game. Good luck challengers!
