5 Day Challenge - No MONKEYS!

A five day gamerpoint challenge is now open for entry. If you're not in too much trouble with the missus, or you feel that you can continue to live on 4 hours sleep a night, then join us and sign up.

I'm hoping to launch this challenge on Saturday morning.

And please - no monkeys! ;-P

Welcome Misterbleepy

Misterbleepy is a friend of mine that I know through work and my other hobby. (Ssssh)! He's read the blog for a while and comments occasionally. He's a keen gamer and owns several generations of consoles.

The recent price drops got the better of him and he's finally crumbled and bought a 360, so I added him to the sidebar. He got Halo 3 and Burnout Paradise with the box, so hopefully we'll see him on the next BoP friday.

Feel free to add him to your friends list.

F14 - The Results

Well done to Munchk for his 254... I mean 1,254 gamerpoint gain over the two weeks of the F14 challenge.

I'm sure it's a well deserved victory...

I think the dynamic of a 14 day challenge was very different again. Considerably less stressful and I didn't feel like I had to get points every night in the way you do on the shorter ones.

Who's up for another? I think I will wait until Saturday morning to launch.

BAGGSIED !

I thought I'd get in early with this baggsie.

Fi'Day 3rd October.
Usual place, usual time (i.e.: about 9pm).
Please bring '360 pads and DS's.

Maybe more to be decided sooner the time.

Be there...or be somewhere else.

F14!

It's the Fi-14 or F14 for short.

A full-on fortnight of fun. Hopefully a little bit more relaxed and chilled with none of the cut-throat business of the seven and three day events.

Here's the sign-up link.

Feel free to invite others to this one.

Short 'n' Sweet - 3 Day Challenge

And so we're straight into another challenge!

"Short 'n' Sweet" the 3 Day gamerpoint challenge starts at 8am tomorrow morning, Thursday 25th September, and it will finish at 8am on Sunday morning, if I'm able to count fingers correctly.

I won't blog every day, but probably just comment in here about it.

Welcome to CUTNO who is a workmate of Jal's. He's on my friends list too and I think we might've played Halo 3 with him at some point.

7 Days of Fi - The Results

And now the end is near, and so we face the final curtain.

Congratulations to Jal who, even though he was almost assured of victory at the end of day six managed to put in a few more hours to suck out a further 140 points out of Dirt to plant him firmly at the top of the list come 8am this morning. 50 challenge points to you!

Second place goes to a well-deserving Simplicitly who was so close at times and fully deserves his 12.5 challenge points. He spent a couple of days with a very good lead but just couldn't match his earlier gains later in the week.

Third is perhaps a surprise candidate in k 0 0 k 1 e. Given his hectic family life I don't know how he managed to put in the time to get 520 points, but he did. After a slow start he pulled an almighty mid-week surge which saw him in good stead until he faded a bit at the end.

Fourth goes to Munchk who showed steady gains throughout the week but it just wasn't quite enough. His 'alternative title' technique failed where Jal's shot him to stardom.

And bringing up the rear, the wooden spoon etc. is me, Andybeta. Perhaps the day one victory made me complacent, but only showing gains on three out of seven days just isn't going to get me anywhere. Epic fail.

Well, it is over. The Gamerscore Challenge formerly known as 7 Days of Fi ended with jalsaviour on top after a total gain of 885 points in 7 days!

All 5 participants combined on the final day, they put up a total gain of 345 points. jalsaviour added 140, Simplicitly added 120, k 0 0 k 1 e added 55, and munchk added 30. There can be only one first place... but thanks goes out to the other 4 for being good rivals.

I must say I really enjoyed this challenge. It brought yet another dimension to the wonder of Xbox 360 gaming.

The votes for the next round(s) are in and the majority have spoken. Those of you left to vote, sorry, but that's democracy in action.

What we're going to do is a three day challenge followed by a 14 day challenge. If you want a rest, then sit out of the 3-day and join in with what should be a more chilled out fortnight.

I'll post details of the next event when it's ready (soon,) so keep 'em peeled.
