just keep your eyes open so that you won't miss it!
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Yeah, I was way off on that one -- and I'm glad I was! This is ever so much more better. Assuming I can recognize any.
"The Phoenix" -- a very good name. A sign of rebirth, of the new year perhaps, and hopefully of tourneys to come!

Status : Offline | I also like The Pheonix theme. Glad you chose it as a theme. I haven't joined any adventure trivia since I joined this forum. There's so many games that I haven't played and it's like almost impossible to answer!! Especially the old/classic ones.
Yeah, it did went commercial. I wouldn't reply to this topic if I hadn't seen it on JA's main page. I didn't know it was still on! I'll keep my eyes open for this.

it's not "still on"! this actually is the 6th major tourney! you can see the previous one (halloween) as sticky on this forum, and the previous 4 on the ja archives forum
btw, i was going to do a mini-tourney here... actually, i wouldn't even call it a mini-tourney... it would be smth completely different! but now this will have to wait for later... doing smth big that goes on the main ja site would definately be a major tourney... also, the reason why some of you think it's harder is probably because i feel refreshed doing this, so i am putting more effort again, getting the sshots myself and not from the inet!

it's not time related! it's the "new" element that did it! just for one more major tourney that is!

i would have stayed away for very long! and i will after this... but it is a fact that the tourneys have now changed me for life, since now, when i play new adventure games, i look at the screens wondering which ones would be good for trivia! :
(btw i am using this id to post cause the new forum doesn't allow me to send a pm without having at least 1 post!)

Status : Offline | man, i REALLY messed up! this is a whole new tourney format for me and i'm not used to it, so i accidentally had the full pics available to everyone who would type the correct url!!! so far no one has come up with an impressive 10/10, but i will be very suspicious if someone does it... i won't be able to prove anything though... :-/
btw, that url is of course not available anymore and the full pics are offline, and this will NOT happen again on the next weeks, so don't even try!

@qrious: hmmm, i don't know if psarakes are allowed to play! maybe if you drop and take 50 before each guess!

I didn't look at those url's either (damn! ). If I get a 10/10 this week it's simply because Aya accepted my bribe.
