That Grim... chap sure posts a lot, right?

Everyone has to guess how many posts he'll have at 11:59pm tonight (Thursday 22nd August). The furthest person out will leave the island.

I'd call on TASKMASTER, but seriously, I don't think there's any point.

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Aug 22, 2013 5:44

To save you looking, here's how many I've got now.

[edit]Fucking Hell.

Well for example if people cannot change their numbers (which I guess they cannot) then you've just been guaranteed a place in the next round because either me or Saturnalian will be further away

If Curio does post and goes low then I'm guaranteed to be through , if he goes high then Saturnalian is guaranteed to be through

Shhhh....

I'm expecting that we can change our guesses up to the last minute, and this is going to end up as a flurry of exciting activity...
Or, our host was drunk when he thought this up and didn't really think through the consequences

This'll be like that time I ordered something from eBay: grossly disappointing. No, more like that time I went on that date with a fat girl: grossly disappointing. No, more like that time I brought that fat girl home with me: grossly disappointing. No, more like that time ... etc.

Well I did also wonder how much gaming the system there is - you know - posting Holly pictures trying to get a response from Grim... or telling him the mobile part of the website is not working correctly , or posting that Lego Marvel Superhero's is going to feature Deadpool and he'll add naration to certain points of the game

Quote:

Players can also explore the Marvel version of New York City by entering buildings and such. Every building will have their own storyline when walked into and will be narrated by Deadpool.[8]

Deadpool? Who is that anyway? I'm not a big fan of superhero comics but I know the main characters and I've never heard of Deadpool.

Google images reveals him to be, um, dressed as a gay Spiderman copycat without the spidy powers. :shrug:

One of these would suggest the other isn't true.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14364

Have they made a Deadpool film? Has he appeared in another superhero film? Has he been referrenced in another superhero film?

I rest my case. On your face.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14364

Have they ever done a cartoon on him either?

Yes. Are you going to pick that case up again then, it's sort of cluttering the place up.

Bamba · **Joined:** 25th Jul, 2010 **Posts:** 11128

Also, defining the 'main characters' in one medium by checking for appearances in another is inherently silly, but I'm sure you knew that already.

Yikes. That's Deadpool!? I honestly just watched that on Tuesday. Tuesday!

And Ryan Reynolds was Green Lantern - he can't be two superheros's's. I see he's not wearing that that gay Spiderman knock-off costume though which is probably why I didn't recognise him. And the fact that his character was another nondescript Reynold's-character that he always plays.

To be fair the character in that film bears very little resemblance to the comics character; to the extent that they're doing another separate 'proper' Deadpool film with Ryan Reynolds playing him again which will be more like the comics character with his trademark fourth-wall breaking and whanot. The chances of it being shit are pretty high but at least they're trying to 'do' Deadpool and not just plonking the name onto a rubbish baddie they've invented for a film.

How did Bamba get on this island?

Also, 46001 posts.

I wonder if this is a joke and he's actually not going to be on for the day so the number he initially posted to show his current post count will be the same as his final post count for the day :-)

(And Bamba I think Saturnalian was trying to provoke a response from Grim... to increase the post count rather than seriously ask those questions :-)

:boots:

I wanted GazChap to win, anyway.

So, the answer was 46,015 - let's see what people guessed, shall we?

Saturnalian: 46,015 - good work!
Curiosity: 46,011
Trooper: 46,012
Zaphod79: 46,014
