Trivia update:
Question 1 has been half-answered (for 1 point credit).

Here's an attempt at some points.

Q: What does Lisa equate Homer's drooling to?
A: I can't think of the exact answer off the top of my head but all I can come up with is when Homer was a food critic and Lisa wrote the reviews based on how he drooled. ???

What I was looking for was: transcendence.

Laser, phaser, maser has been answered (for 5 points each answer-er).

LASER = Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
PHASER = Phased Energy Rectification (had to look this one up--hope I chose the right one)
MASER = Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

LASER = Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
PHASER = Photon Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
MASER = Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Laser and maser pics and schematics were given by endeavourl for 1 point each.

Also, there is no need to PM me the answers, unless I ask for it like with the #4 pic submission. Points have been awarded for #4 pic submission, but those will be revealed next round.

Yet to answer:
2: 10 points: What is Thief's plan to purify the Earth Orb? I want full details.
3: 10 points will be given out per essay (1+ paragraphs) about why 12/02/2006's Boondocks episode was so cool (This contest will last until 1700 PST Friday). The reason this is given so much time is because the episode will be rebroadcast on Thursday night 12 PM EST/PST Cartoon Network, giving everyone a chance to bask in its glory once more.
4: From now until the end of the round, 50 points if you PM me a really nice pic that screams 'wo ai ni'. If the pic is good enough, you will get the points. Non-cumulative and victim to my discression. Note: no hentai or other images inappropriate for those under 17.
Schematics (not pics) of a phaser are still MIA.

Replacement trivia:
2 points: Auto company that builds Project Satan on Futurama.
1 point each: Name of all the Gundams Yuy Heero pilots.
2 points: Singer that looks like a [adult escort] according to Stewie.
2 points: Rei, Asuka, and Shinji's grade and class.
2 points: Ataru, Lum, and Mendou's grade and class.
2 points: What's not half as painful as a tire-iron upside the head? (Family Guy reference)
2 points: Color of Mace Windu's lightsaber.
2 points: Who wants to be Peter Chris? (5 points for the full Family Guy quote).

I knew four of those already without google. Such as all characters in Japanese shows are in 2- classes XD

Except that Ataru and crew started the series as juniors. Simple mistake to make since it was 2- class which could mean either 8th or 11th grade.

Warning: I need to test a few stages to see if I like them or think they are a good idea still. We will be getting a Hyrule Castle tonight and maybe a Battlefield later in the week (Thur/Fri) if all goes well.

PS: I'm going soft in my old age and raised the trivia/submission point per round cap to thirty after realizing that it would take a very long time to reach the max # of points the way it is currently set up. Chris, you can earn seven more points before 1700 PST.

Current SNAFU

Roy prods Link for -3 Damage

And that should be enough.

Roy has a special comming to him as of 3 hr ago. Your attacker was changed to Marth.

[endeavourl]

Name all three colors and six flavors of quarks.

fun fun chromodynamics. Red Green Blue, Top Down Bottom Up Strange Charm

Magic numbers for electrons.
Magic numbers for nucleons.

Electrons: 2 10 18 36 54 86 118 168 218 (i hope i remembered these right)
Nucleons: 2 4 8 16 20 28 40 48 50 82 126 208

Speaking of Quark, how much did his remains sell for?

I thought Quark survived...but its been such a long time since i've seen an episode.

Maximum number of drinks of Lon Lon milk that can be made in Ocarina of Time.

2 drinks a bottle * 4 bottles = 8 drinks


Just a bit too lazy to look up any of the answers i dont already know off the top of my head

And as for roy's unused move, Roy uses his fire blade to do -5 damage to link

[Divine]

Link uses Spin Attack on Marth and Capt. Falcon for -3 each

Trivia:
Maximum number of drinks of Lon Lon milk that can be made in Ocarina of Time.

--(I'm assuming you mean per bottle) 2

Bleh, I dunno any more.

[stinkyllama]

Number of atoms in 10 kg baking soda. (Show your work)

Formula mass for NaHCO3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + (3x16) = 84

1 mole of NaHCO3 = 84 grams NaHCO3

10000g NaHCO3 x 1 mol NaHCO3 / 84g NaHCO3 = 119 moles

119 moles NaHCO3 x 6.023x10^23 molecules NaHCO3/1 mole NaHCO3 = 7.167 x 10^25 molecules NaHCO3

7.167x10^25 molecules x 6 atoms/molecule = 4.3 x 10^26 atoms

*Shudder* Not sure if I did that right but that's the most chemistry I've done since I dropped Biology as my major two years ago because of organic chem...

Round 18

I'm not feeling too personable right now and quite temperamental. This is the only warning.

Story as of now:
'Sokuda!' [I hope I got that right] Marth ki-ai-s as he dodges Link's spinning blade. Roy gives a louder ki-ai and swings his sword at Link. Link's angular momentum mixed with Roy's attack knock Falcon for -3, followed by a slam to Purin for a cominbed -10 damage. Blasted like a gamma out of an excited nucleus, Purin shoots through the melee and snags the Heart. 'And that is why he is the dirtiest player in the game.' Mewtwo mutters as towers and spires rise from the ground. Hyrule Temple has a bad Redead problem. Sorry, Buffy ain't going to clean this one up for you.

Preferred Attack format: ‘[Character A] attacks [Character B] for -3 damage’ [Do not forget the underline, red, and bold.]

Simple Attack format: ‘[Character A] attacks [Character B] for-3 damage’ [Do not forget the bold.]

Preferred Heal format: ‘[Character] heals for +2 HP [Do not forget the green and bold.]

Simple Heal format: ‘[Character] heals for +2 HP [Do not forget the bold.]

Specials follow the same format where appropriate.

3: Sorry for stealing some of your attacks. You may act as those attacks were not counted and make another action. I have given special rewards to those that I stole moves from. The same time delays apply to special moves.
4: Clear out some of those Redead. This an arena, not a morgue.
5: Please keep in mind the stupid, pointless trivia is one of the many factors keeping me from randomly lashing out at all of you. Thanks for playing along

This Round's Weapons:
1 Green Shell: -4 damage to one character (for Divine since I stole his move)
1 Freezie: -4 damage to one character. Target can not heal, but can not be damaged again for the rest of the round

This Round's Stage:
Hyrule Temple: Redead attack! 6 Redead appear (chosen by a roll of a d10). Players can attack Redead. Redead deal -2 damage to one character each at end of round. Stage changes after all Redead are... dead. Five points per elimination. Not counted as trivia/submission points.

Last Period's Answers:
Nucleon magic #s: 2 8 20 28 50 82 126 208 (credit given)
Due to an intentionally ambigous question, endeavourl was correct. Link has 8 drinks of milk.
Quark did sell his remains and lived at the end of the episode. The point is, he sold them for X latinum.
Since I don't want to check the math, Llama-chan's operations are correct, even if the numbers are off. Full credit.
Christopher and Llama-chan earned 1 point per pic they submitted. Both also earned an extra 5 points because there was one pic I liked from both. None submitted was really what I was feeling. Sorry.

This Period's Trivia:
10 points: Read these two comics. What is Jasmine doing wrong? And why is Huey right? (At least on paragraph)
10 points: When Misato bribes the Children with a steak dinner to fight the 10th (?) Angel, Asuka immediately pulls out a guide to the best restaurants in the area. Your task: Logically, explain to me exactly why in all the hells does Asuka have a freaking restaurant guide on her person, while in her school uniform, while at work, while at a mission briefing.
10 points will be given out per essay (1+ paragraphs) about why 12/02/2006's Boondocks episode was so cool (This contest will last until 1700 PST Friday).
Any of the remaining questions on this post.

Quick but important poll!
If you want to be polled (no need to enter), please post what timezone you are in, based on GMT. I am in PST which is GMT -8. This way I can keep track of double posts better. Thank you!

Nucleon magic #s: 2 8 20 28 50 82 126 208 (credit given)

sky...my numbers include doubly magic nucleons like 16O or 40Ca that are correct as well...these in fact have higher binding energies and are more stable than the regular magic # isotopes.

And I'm formally protesting you giving jigglypuff the heart container.
(yes yes I know its within the GM's power to do so...but still)

I recognized the numbers for doubly magic nuclei, but I was asking for nucleons, just #s for protons and neutrons. We spent a lot of time on magic numbers and binding energies in my modern physics class. I know what I asked for. I know you answered correctly. I just shortened what you gave down for what I was asking for. You got full credit.

As to Purin... I knew there would be protests, that is why I gave you and Icey player specific items and specials. If you don't want Din's Fire, you can have Nayru’s Love (+4 HP and redirect the next attack against Zelda, or redirect all attacks against Zelda for the round) or any of the other announced moves for this round. You could still have to wait for the move to be activated, but you have a free move coming as of my update. I'll still be feeling bad about it tomorrow so you might get some extra free toys in the next update. Until then, take what you have been given (including 10 free points to all who posted last round), Google some of the other questions, opinionate on one of the opinion polls, and relax.

Ok...that clears up the nuclei/nucleons thing. Also, you say that we get a free move...does that mean we can do 2 moves within our 24hr block?
