Doubtful.

I'm guess you've done this challenge before. How far do people go?


I forget what number she reached, but Hele, the winner of Stranded in Greece went the entire night just posting numbers. No one could catch her.

Linda should just not try. She's not going anywhere.

Agreed, though a win would give her some pull with the jury, showing that she's not utterly incompetent like she keeps proving in challenges.

Good point Lindsey makes, what if they skip a number, not realize it and post 5000 more? icon_lol

It's easy to check if you messed up though. If you're on number 5000 there should be 5001 posts in the thread count in the top right. Unless you posted something else before starting.

I don't think they are doing it most efficiently though, 5 seconds between posts on Lindsey and Linda while Gabe has as low as 2 seconds with large pauses now an again.

It will be kind of amazing if Lindsey wins seeing as she was first out in Mongolia.

Yeah Helen in Greece managed 6003. She wanted to build up such a huge lead in the opening hours that the people coming on later (one Aussie based player in particular) would be entirely disheartened.

Kim in Costa Rica got 763 - but that had the limitation of only posting once per minute, so work out for yourself how many hours she put in.

I've misplaced my password for Refuge, but Catalie got about 5000ish iirc.

What no lyf loosers. lol I counted to 36 in mine (it was by the minute) and somehow won it because everyone else somehow managed to royally fuck up harder than I did icon_wub Was I the lowest count ever to have won that challenge? I still contend that I went out on the 36th minute because the board glitched. icon_glare

Or maybe Catalie's was by the minute and it was 500ish? idr.

We had something similar that Season as the merge challenge with two winners and I won icon_wub Turns out I was being booted without, but it was way less like, maybe 2 and a half hours of once per minute.

People don't use enough dirty tactics either. I was PMing the full cast while the challenge was running just cos.
