SCORING
@09philj +5 +5 +0 +0 = +10
First two ROUNDs are in CAPS. # Gantic Points is bolded and it comes after the objective. The time limit is also bolded. The point total is kind of low here and I wouldn't do ciphers for How Gantic Are You because anyone with a solver can do it. You don't need to be Gantic.
@FishPreferred +10 +10 +0 +0 =+20
I won't do ciphers. I'll do gibberish, but I won't do ciphers.
@red303 +0 +0 +0 +0 = +0
I won't repeat a round word for word. 0 all across for not coming up with it yourself.
@philimaster +5 +10 +0 +0 = +15
First two ROUNDs are in CAPS. # Gantic Points is bolded. Time limit is bolded. I don't even know what Mornington Crescent is.
@akshobhya +10 +5 +30 +150 = +195
Heck yeah! But your total points are a litle low.
@gringrant +5 +10 +0 +0 = +15
Missing some bold in the ROUND 3 title, # Gantic Points, and the time limit. I also won't repeat the same kind of creative round.
@R2D21999 +5 +5 +0 +0 = +10
First two ROUNDs are in CAPS. Possibles are low for something where no one might earn any points.
@Saphire24 +5 +5 +30 +0 = +40
First two ROUNDs are in CAPS. Why is the max 90? The Standings has 15 users before the end of this round. Will half the users be cut?
@Miraidematro +10 +10 +30 +0 = +50
This one is cribbed from a previous round, but it is something I might have done had I had a verse that was floating around. That said, I wouldn't write those verses in the examples, because it has the cadence of a cheesy 90's educational rap.
@GhostOfMatrix +10 +5 +15 +0 = +30
I would not outright ask for abstract imagery. It would be secret bonus points.
@StormWalker +5 +10 +0 +0 = +15
Bold # Gantic Points and time limit. No. I'm not reading 10+ papers. I don't want to read essays unless there's like <5 Gantestants left.

The next Round is going to be -


ROUND 3

ROUND 3 is a poetic round. Analyse Gantic's mind and create a poem that he would want at the moment.

You will have to write a 4 line poem to the The Great White One that should suit his mood at the moment. Rhyming ones may fetch more..... The Gantestants will have to write the poem keeping Gantic's mind in mind and write a befitting poem attributed to the Great One.

10 Gantic Points will be awarded for writing a befitting poem to The Great White One.
20 Gantic Points will be awarded for writing a rhyming poem with a secret message.
20 Gantic Points will be awarded to the person who decodes another person's secret message correctly. (No cheating here. Cheaters will find something wrong in their total score at the end of the round.)
50 Gantic Points will be awarded for finding out what lines The Great White One wants at that moment
No Gantic Points will be awarded for writing irrelevant poems.

A maximum of 150 Gantic Points can be earned this round..... Wait a second.... Everything should add upto 100. But, The Great White One may award bonus(es) for delighting the The Great White One's mind and mood!.

The Gantestant(s) with the lowest score this round will be eliminated.

The Gantestants have one week to write the poem and a Gantestant may not change his/her poem after he/she has submitted it.

Because, here in page 7, The Great White One said -

150 Gantic Points will be awarded for the chosen submission.

And, in the result of Round 2,

@akshobhya +10 +5 +30 +150= +195
Heck yeah! But your total points are a litle low.

Along with this, I think the title of the thread at this moment -

How Gantic Are You? SEASON 2 | ROUND 3 (page 8)

is also referring to a page where my submission for Round 2 is and not to the page where the scoreboard has been put up.

And @Gantic, in the scoreboard,

Heck yeah! But your total points are a litle low.

The spelling of 'little' has a small error.

[...] and I wouldn't do ciphers for How Gantic Are You because anyone with a solver can do it.
Does that mean you decrypted my message 3 without the key?

I won't do ciphers. I'll do gibberish, but I won't do ciphers.
My cipher may have been more Poe than Gantic, but the first two messages are directly derived from demonstrably Gantic things.

Also, I don't guess.

There are plenty of users who do ciphers. I just happen to be one of the more prominent, but I use ciphers as a bandage for the lack of something more creative.

The Great White One sees all.
He knows when you trip and when you fall.
He watches your wins and watches your oops.
He reads your soul when analyzing your mental poops.
