It is time for How FishPreferred Are You?
As you may know, Gantic will not be available to do his usual schtick this year, thus it falls to me to continue this weird tradition of quantifying your similitude to some vague standard through a series of convoluted and seemingly arbitrary tests.
Sign-up is open until 10 spots are filled, or until September 9, whichever is sooner. You may wager any number of Gantic Points you like, but they will be disregarded because Gantic Points have no relevance to this game.
I don't know how to feel that I did absolutely nothing and just bounced off of walls. It's like a normal day for me I suppose
If I was doing this I'd have been planning this as it happens to know who was still in so that no one had any clue, there's a rough idea but the rest is just as it gets typed in.
My guess is you're planning the next one as you're typing out "How long have I been planning this one?"
@Boofuss so you mean that he was planning it 0 minutes? xD I guess that FishPreferred will give 20 piscum to one that is closest to the right time.
I was also bouncing off the walls, used all my ammo at start and went totally pacifist mode xD
Nobody gets the bonus, because even I don't remember what year it was when I came up with this thing. You would actually get 10ʭ for explicitly refusing to guess, but then inferring something other than the obvious and/or stating a tautology.
Round 2 is the Logic round. This is literally the most straightforward stage in the entire contest, because logic. It is, in fact, so straightforward that in order to get more than half of the points you will need to make it far more convoluted. Find a way to submit your responses without letting the other players see them before the deadline. You can use whatever obscure imaginative means you like, but I won't award any extra points for something that you can change at any time.
+10p will be awarded for each correct response.
Up to 50 additional points can be earned, depending on how well you conceal your responses.
You have until Saturday (Sep 23) to sumbit your responses by whatever means you choose. If they are hidden, you have until Sunday (Sep 24) to show/explain your method of concealment.

You have to figure out the correct answers and encode them somehow so we won't be able to steal your answers. After the deadline you must tell Fish the way to decipher your code
That seems the only sane solution for this stage... Anybody posting here from now on will be obvious to post answers but of course if they are encrypted well that should be mission completed.
Well, a logic round. If I don't win this one, I should probably return my PhD and ask for a refund. (Based on some of the stuff I'm been producing lately, maybe I should to that anyway!)
