ROUND 2
ROUND 2 is a "How Gantic Are You?" round. It's so meta that this entire season might be built on meta. Isn't that prospect exciting? (10 Gantic Points)

You may reference Season 1 and Season 2 to help you complete this round.

Score each of the eight remaining Gantestants performances in the previous round, including yourself. It is up to you to decipher the judgments and comments in my previous post to produce an actual "How Gantic Are You?" score. You will lose one point per point that your score disagrees with mine for each score. Your score for the standings will be based on the point difference between your score and the lowest scorer.

10 Bonus Points will be awarded for posting your standings within one day of when this was posted.
25 Bonus Points will be awarded for an actual point breakdown.
25 Bonus Points will be awarded for following the proper format.

A maximum of 60 Bonus Points can be earned this round. The Gantestant that scores the lowest in this round will be eliminated.

You have one week to submit your responses. You may not change your responses after you have submitted them.

I don't know. I just don't really like the color red, but if that really is the ROUND 1 score, then this round is an easy >=60 points.

On the other hand, if that's not really the score, then no one really has 0, so... it's one or the other.

Wait WHAT!?

Ok...ok, I am not going to point out the whole irrationality in this round because I get it, it's so meta it is supposed to make my head ache, BUT:

00000 cobbcannon3423
00000 Patrick2011
ELIMINATED
-00001 ScrewTheLag

You don't mention Patrick's answers anywhere and with a checkup, he has not answered at all from what I've seen. Where are his answers? If he didn't answer any question how come he is not eliminated like Screw? o.O

Is the bonus round over? I ask because that was probably meant to be used in The Forumnauts and the ____ and ____, possibly as a disguise for another object. That, or something you haven't begun yet.

ROUND 2 is a "How Gantic Are You?" round. It's so meta that this entire season might be built on meta. Isn't that prospect exciting?

@Doombreed +10 +0 +0 +10 +0 +10 +10 +10 +10 +0 = +60
Yellow is the favorite color food topping because Mustard beats the rest. Favorite Color in everything is Blue according to what you replied to Swarm and Matt for their first questions.Bonus points for answering 5 questions. +20 for not thinking it is stupid, as well as rolling with it regardless of irregularity or stupidity. +10 for not being passive aggressive either.
@cobbcannon3423 +0 +0 +10 + 0 + 10 +10 +10 +10 +10 +0 = +60
^ is basically a power, so multiplication is a correct answer, sort of. You answered 5 questions, did not think the round is stupid, rolled with it and were not passive aggressive about it.
@Swarmlord2 +0 +0 +10 +0 +0 +10 +10 +10 +10 +0= +50
ex could imply e^x, for exponential increase. Always increase! You did not answer before Gantic gave a hint though
@MattEmAngel +0 +0 +10 +10 +0 +10 +0 +10 +0 +0 = +40
Blue is not a blood type either. Bonus points for answering 5 questions and rolling with the round regardless. You were passive aggressive about it and you do think it was stupid. Also you did not answer any question before Gantic posted the first hint.
@FishPreferred +10 +0 +0 +0 +0 +10 +10 +10 +10 +0 = +50
Better to wait for others. Gantic is not into Philosophy though. The last answer does not match Gantic's preference.
@jimmycarlos +10 +0 +0 +0 +0 +10 +10 +10 +10 +0 = +50
Mustard is truly the best. The rest are not real preferences, while Gantic's favorite color is blue apparently.
@akshobhya +0 +10 +0 +0 +0 +0 +10 +10 +10 +0 = +40
I get the feeling Gantic mentioned a preference for Vanilla once. You did not answer 5 questions though.

FishPreferred +10 Gantic Points for correcting MattEmAngel

BONUS ROUND! What was the a random lump of charcoal supposed to be used for?

A paperweight, unless if intending to burn it.

Disclaimer: Please excuse any and all @ summons, I tried to stick to Season 2's Round 2 format as much as possible. Apologies. At any rate, Fish, nowhere does it say that the Bonus Round cannot be completed after Round 2. I've answered it now.
Obviously everything has been rated according to my view of @Gantic and everything above is subjective.

My reply for Round 2: Everything above the "-------..."

As per the original post, 10 Gantic Points for each preference that matched Gantic's. As the original post mentioned there were 100 points available - 50 Bonus Points must be split equally among the bonus points criteria:

1) Answering 5 Preference Questions
2) Not saying this round was stupid.
3) Rolling with it.
4) Not being Passive Aggressive
5) Answering before the "hint"

Yep. You know what that means.

BONUS ROUND! What was the a random lump of charcoal supposed to be used for?

I can't do this with a few hours left, on my tablet, with an unreliable connection, at half past midnight. I will wait until Monday.

The Gantestant(s) who score(s) 0 will be eliminated.

I checked. As you can see this means both Patrick and Screw must be eliminated since they both scored 0 this round. Unless if we give each 10 points for not thinking this round is stupid and another 10 for not being passive aggressive about it. But these are supposed to be bonus points. I don't even know anymore...

Except that the third bonus requires it to be stupid and neither can be guaged unless the Gantestant explicitly states as much.

You mean the second bonus. Third means rolling with it regardless, which we all did. Well, I judged that based on complaining, so fourth and second bonus were connected. It may not be the case, it was just the best I could do.

Blue and white is so much better than red and yellow. Do I want a Razkitar Auralith that looks like a fast food mascot? It's not even flammeous, and if it was, I would still rather blue and white. Wrong
Ice, or Metal, or Aether, but not Quintessence. That's stupid. Air is Aether, sort of. +10

BONUS POINTS

Did you answer 5 preference questions? You better have.
Was this round just really stupid? No, duh.
But did you roll with it anyway because it was stupid and if you did well enough to pass, then great, but if you didn't, it was justifiably stupid? Heck, yeah!
Were you passive aggressive because of how stupid this was? nO...
Did you actually answer before I posted a "hint" that doesn't really matter because no one would have gotten the answers anyway and this was actually a super Ganticness round that measures actual Ganticness, but if they did, then they would be miles ahead of the competition all to avoid answers that are answering to the question instead of the situation which was basically what I Want to See Your Mental Poop was about but unfortunately this gambit would only work once? Haha, yeah right.
@ScrewTheLag: As the only Gantestant to not post at all, you have both been eliminated for non-participation. You wagered 1 Gantic Point that you were the most Gantic. Unfortunately, you could not show up to prove it. Your final score is -1.

STANDINGS If the hint is Gantic's post, second on page 3, then nobody answered before it.

BONUS ROUND! What was the a random lump of charcoal supposed to be used for?

To quote Gantic's comment on a random lump of coal (not charcoal), It's probably useless, but it seems like a good stocking stuffer for a regifter. Yay!

All things in bold are my (Swarmlord2's) comments

@Swarmlord2
Air isn't aether. Aether is the non-stupid variation of quintessence.

Aether - the clear sky; the upper regions of air beyond the clouds.

I forgot about the question about whether or not the prospect is exciting. As it is related to 'How Gantic Are You?', I say yes, it is exciting.
