i wanted to hit 50. maybe next year.

davidh777

This was my first drive-in challenge so I'm satisfied with my total, and I see a lot of familiar names in the sub-20 category so I'm in good company. Definitely a lot of stuff I ran across that I'd like to watch next year, though.

Glad to have you back, Trevor

number2

So... are we done here?

BuddhaWake

I was looking for a tumble weed. I had totally forgotten about it. so was there ever a list?

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Nope. Caligula last posted about being really busy back in June and then was never heard from again.

Gobear

Maybe someone else should run the challenge next year because the sputtering out of this year's challenge is pretty disappointing. I would at least like to have known what books were offered as prizes.

Trevor

I wouldn't go that far. A results thread and prize list are nice bonuses, but not essential to a fun month/Challenge.

I just checked and that post on 6/02/11 was his last post in the entire site. I'm worried. Mentioned health issues, hope he's ok. Anyone friends with him on Facebook or real life?

Dimension X

Has anyone tried to PM or email him? If you click on "View Public Profile" it says "Last Activity: 09-06-11 08:22 AM", so someone using that account was on the site fairly recently.

It's not that hard to pick random winners and send them PMs. Since GoldenWheels said he still has the prizes and number2 was nice enough to make a list of participants, I wouldn't have a problem picking the winners if people are okay with that (and we don't hear from caligula).

Trevor

Just sent PM and email.

Gobear

No, not essential, but their absence has left the challenge feeling somehow. . . unfinished, like leaving unbilled charges on the books at the end of the fiscal year.

If he's having health issues, then none of this matters, of course.

I'm all for that.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

And the winner of all prizes is me, Dimension X.

I'm joking

davidh777

DVDTalk is not real life? (Or maybe that's a reference to FB)

Dimension X

I just have to hope GoldenWheels doesn't get suspicious when all the "randomly chosen" winners just happen to live at the same address.

takingchase

Agreed, he still put a lot of hard work into organizing the challenge and I appreciate that.

We're from the same city. Maybe I should head to the South Drive In and start asking random people if they are Caligula

Chet Desmond

No need to worry about Caligula. I talked to him the other day, he's fine!

Trevor

Good to know, thanks!

Tell him to stop ignoring me though .... I'm sensitive ....

asianxcore

Glad to see that Caligula is alright.

Even without all the lists/prizes and such, we all got a month to discuss/watch Exploitation films

davidh777

Yeah, I don't want to see the mods taking a lot of flak for perceived inadequacies. I think that may have played a part in killing off the sheep games. I could be wrong...

GoldenWheels

I'm looking at the prizes from my desk. So they're still here. I feel kind of weird about all this--I will gladly still send out the prizes but I want 0 to do with deciding who gets them and don't want to get any grief after the fact.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

If nobody minds, I can throw up a lame list like I do for my other challenges and assign prizes the same way, which is how this one does it since I stole the idea from this challenge.

Gobear

You got my vote.

Dimension X

Yeah, I was hoping caligula would make an appearance of some sort and say go ahead and pick the winners, or wait, or something.

What were the prizes for this one? I don't think it was ever announced.
What do you mean by "a lame list"?

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

My lame winners list that don't use fancy tables and graphics. It'll look like my other winner lists. All other challenges put me to shame.

Dimension X

I don't make any final list for my Challenge.

Neither does this guy.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

I'll have to blame the devil's nectar on that one. The thought did cross my mind Saturday but then I had a horrible hangover all day Sunday, when I normally do that stuff.
