Exactly! Very few of the songs on that channel even break 10k views, it's depressing. I'm glad Autumn's Geometry is getting a slight bump from this at least lol

Day 18 Immunity Challenge - Mass Effect

i've been looking stuff up about Mass Effect again so today's immunity challenge will be based on that. what does this have to do with music? uhh....here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLxv_g_zQkY

it's one of the few VG tracks i remember. now we are officially music-related.

anyway, for today's immunity challenge you will have 3 (THREE) options. You will gain points for whichever option you take. The 3 (THREE) songs with the lowest amount of points will be thrown into randomizer and one will be eliminated. If there are more songs that are tied for lowest score, they will also be part of the randomizer. (e.g. if the 2 lowest point totals are 1 and 2 but for the next lowest, there's a 3-way tie, then that means 5 songs will be part of the randomizer elim.

Option 1: Pass
If you say "pass" or say that you've never played Mass Effect, you can get 4 points. If you take this option, I will randomly generate 1 (ONE) number 1-100. If you get either 2, 3, 5, 7, or 9, you will get that number of additional points. Any other number is +0. (MAX TOTAL 13)

Option 2: Questionnaire
Answer a questionnaire (4 questions) about YOUR Mass Effect experience. Answer them however you want but you must answer all questions. You will get 8 points for this.

Option 3: Test
You can try to answer 5 questions about MY Mass Effect experience. These questions will be multiple choice. You will get 3 points for each correct answer. (MAX TOTAL 15)

You can only choose 1 option*. If you select option 3, you can either post your answers here or PM me.

*If you have two noms remaining, you can choose one option for each nom. (e.g. you can choose option 2 for one song and option 3 for another. Or you can choose option 3 for both noms and have different answers, etc.)

Deadline for submission is midnight pacific time.

Option 2 (Questionnaire) Questions:
1. M/F Shepard?
2. Who did you romance?
3. Best race?
4. Best game in series?

Option 3 (Test) Questions (Choose 1 for each question):
1. Which system did I play the series on most?

PS3
Xbox 360
PC

2. Did I primarily play Paragon or Renegade?

Paragon
Renegade

3. Who was my main romance?

Ashley
Kaidan
Liara
Miranda
Tali
Jack
Jacob
Garrus
Thane
Diana

4. What ending did I get on my first playthrough for ME3?

Control
Synthesis
Destroy
Other

5. How far did I make it in Mass Effect Andromeda?

Never played
One hour
Around halfway
Finished the game

I don't get option 1, if you generate a number between 1 and 100 that's huge odds of getting the max of 13. Ah well it doesn't apply to me.

Since I have two songs, I'll answer with option 2 twice. The first was my first playthrough as a dude, second was my next playthrough as a badass renegade lady.

HATED BY LIFE ITSELF
1. Male Shepard
2. Romanced Ashley, stayed loyal in ME2
3. Best race is the Geth
4. Mass Effect 2

AUTUMN'S GEOMETRY
1. Female Shepard
2. Romanced Garrus in ME2
3. Best race is the Geth
4. Mass Effect 2

and yes, there is another idol hidden. surely we won't go 3 for 3.

you can #search. if the seconds of your post matches, you will find. These idols must be USED BEFORE THE VOTE. They can be used up to top 5.

1-100 is the range i put in the randomizer. you will only get additional points if you get 2, 3, 5, 7 or 9. any of the other 95 numbers will yield 0 additional points.

Option 2 (Questionnaire) Questions:

Geese - 3D Country
1. M Shepard
2. Tali
3. Turian
4. ME2

Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots
1. F Shepard
2. Garrus
3. Turian
4. ME2

Option 2 (Questionnaire) Questions:
1. Male Shep for my "canon" playthrough
2. Best girl Jack
3. Incredulously: Elcor.
4. 2. Suicide mission can't be topped

#search

Option 2 (Questionnaire) Questions: (for lostprophets - Sway)
1. Femshep
2. Kaidan in 1, Kelly in 2, did not play 3 because it wasn't available on Steam
3. Salarian; they're hilarious.
4. I preferred 1 to 2. 2 is just a giant recruitment drive, and it has limited ammo, which I'd rather not worry about. I admit 2 is objectively better, but by that argument, Andromeda (which I did play until my save file crashed irretrievably) is also higher quality.

"You will get 8 points for this." -- I'm assuming this isn't randomly based on "correct" answers. If it is, and only 2 points are awarded per "correct" answer, then I choose option 3 -- PS3, Paragon, Garrus, Synthesis, One Hour

I've never played Mass Effect.

But hell yeah, successful search.

Was 3 really not available on steam?

"You will get 8 points for this." --

And yes it is a flat 8 regardless of how you answer.

I don't about individually, but the legendary edition is definitely there.

I wonder if it was some EA shenanigans

But anyway I now own legendary collection because it was recently on sale for $6

Was 3 really not available on steam?

For a number of years it was not. EA was trying to push their own marketplace, and as such, they did not list ME3. ME1 and ME2 had been on Steam previously, and they stayed up, but for some reason they took down ME3. The store page was still there if you knew where to look, but it was unlisted and only people who had already bought it could play it.

They brought it back like a year before the legendary edition, but given how often the legendary edition is on sale for $6, there's no reason to buy the original. I just haven't gone back to the series since -- and probably won't because I've decided I don't want to deal with EA's launcher bullshit.

1. Male Shepard
2. Tali. Wish Kaiden wasn't the gay option, boring af
3. Elcor
4. Mass Effect 2

Played through the whole trilogy for the first time a year or two ago. Went paragon M Shep. I do want to replay it at some point with renegade F Shep.

I think I'm gonna go a little wild with it

Ayesha Erotica - Emo Boy
Option 3, I'll DM you my guesses

Hayley Williams - Crystal Clear
Option 2

1. Male Shepard, I really should have gone FemShep at the very least for Garrus romance though
2. Liara since Garrus is too much of a coward. I did really enjoy her romance though, especially with Shadow Broker stuff
3. Gotta be the Elcor. Enthused, they are a treasure to talk with.
4. Mass Effect 3, marries the RPGness of 1 and the smoother gameplay of 2 extremely nicely. I'll go even further, 3 > 1 > 2

Option 2

1. Male
2. Yvonne Strahovsk- I mean Miranda
3. Turian
4. Mass Effect 2

#search

I kind of wanted to use this opportunity to talk about my fav character but I guess I'll leave that for the ranking topic

Too bad I couldn't romance her =/

for the two option 1ers

the idol # was 34

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/821122-onechanbara-z2-chaos/81042851/986451169

I got a 34 in my post its post 322

it was also yesterday but maybe it still counts - technically nothing has said it couldnt count

ok i will clarify that idol #s reset every day as i search for new secret boards lol

the point totals at the end of Day 18:

8 - Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots
8 - Nightcord at 25:00 - Hated By Life Itself
8 - Luna - Autumn's Geometry
8 - lostprophets Sway
8 - Hayley Williams - Crystal Clear
8 - Gigi Perez Chemistry
8 - Geese - 3D Country
8 - Ennaria Monstarrr
8 - Charlotte Cardin - Confetti (Piano Ver.)
4 - Will Wood and the Tapeworms - Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!
4 - Earth, Wind & Fire September
3 - Ayesha Erotica - Emo Boy
0 - Heaven Burns Red - Shiva (Glacier Remix)

as stated previously, the bottom three lowest point totals (including ties) will be thrown into randomizer for elimination. we somehow avoided the scenario where there was a multi-way tie at 8 points necessitating that every song get thrown into the randomizer.

i'll read the votes

13. Heaven Burns Red - Shiva (Glacier Remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfWD-jIrIcs

i think it was mentioned at some point that this was a finalist or something on another b8 contest but it lost. well i know how i would have voted had i been aware

see you space cowboy

what were the answers for option 3?

1. Which system did I play the series on most?
PS3 - i've never owned a 360 and was primarily console only for almost all the time i've been playing games. so yeah i actually started with ME2 because PS3 literally did not have ME1 available.

2. Did I primarily play Paragon or Renegade?
Renegade - i will almost always play 'evil' path in games that let me huehuehue

3. Who was my main romance?
Garrus - since i play F characters 99% of the time in games that let you choose. F Shep's options aren't great considering what happens to two of the three options you have in ME2. thankfully, Garrus is a good choice independent of all that. i think i have like 3 or 4 playthroughs and i choose him every time lol.

4. What ending did I get on my first playthrough for ME3?
Synthesis - but not intentionally. when it comes time to decide, you have to walk towards your choice and i didn't realize it at the time and just walked straight forward - which is how you get Synthesis. 'lol'

5. How far did I make it in Mass Effect Andromeda?
One hour - i'm pretty sure this was about the time you get into the nu-Mako. i drove around for like 10 min, said "wait this fucking sucks" and never played the game again.

Day 19 Immunity Challenge - Album Identification

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/aeeef4de.jpg

ChatGPT got like 70% of those right on the first guess when I uploaded the image but I knew none of them personally. Following the honor system, I will respectfully PASS with both of my songs and hope for the best.

Damn Garrus was my other thought for your romance, but I thought you'd go for the woman-coded relationship more. And I almost said One Hour but changed it to Almost Halfway right before I sent my DM. Ah well, worked out fine for me in the end. Today's should work pretty well for me, looking at those I definitely know most of them but a few I'll give myself until later today to try to think about

Also #search

Also even if I was wrong I'm glad it was Garrus because his romance is so cute, he's such a dork

Looks like I would have done quite well on option 3.

Pass. I don't know any of those, and I'm not going to cheat.

Puzzle sent, think I did well

sent in option 2 guesses

Just sent mine, glad we share a lot of the same music interests! I was going to add the album name with the artist/band names but you said "list the album OR artist name" so I didn't want to risk my chances by putting both lol

I'm just realizing I put both and now I'm worried XD

I probably just overthought it but WHAT IF

Oh I am horrible with album names but I recognized a lot of them from popping up on my car screen when I'm streaming
