TiBB’s Task Master - Halloween Special [And the winner is…]

[Benjamin]

Going to be very hard to top LT as TM just for the roasts alone

Indeed. As soon as I decided to run this game I knew I wanted him as the very first Task Master.

[Benjamin]

I considered resubmitting it as my "soft thing"

:joker:

[Kate!]

Well done to all of you, and thank you for participating in the first season. You all exceeded my expectations with the torture I gave you. :love:


Thank you too, to LT for being a wonderful and brutal Task Master.

Fantastic game Ben, great hosting:love: I really enjoyed it and was hilarious being compared to a preying mantis looool.

Thanks LT. X

Also I thought it was Cherie because the comments were very eloquent and witty and I was sure that befitted her. LT never crossed my mind. Hehe. Not saying he's not witty.

[Benjamin]

Well done Neem and what a great runner up Annie, I think LT would have given the bubble wrap top scores.


If he had Annie would have lost by 1 point. :laugh:

[Maru]

Congrats Niamh and everyone else as well :love: I think it was a great run...

[Kate!]

Congrats Niamh and everyone else as well :love: I think it was a great run...

Agreed. I enjoyed it.

[Kate!]

My rivals were very strong competition. Thanks all.

[Maru]

Thanks LT. X

Also I thought it was Cherie because the comments were very eloquent and witty and I was sure that befitted her. LT never crossed my mind. Hehe. Not saying he's not witty.

It's a bit revealing how much LT probably has to turn himself down to stay within forum guidelines...

[Benjamin]

Any suggestions/feedback at all is welcome, as you did the tasks etc. I tried to make the game work around the players as much as possible, so want to ensure if I run again I factor anything I may have missed into it.

[Kate!]

Any suggestions/feedback at all is welcome, as you did the tasks etc.

The main Task that traumatised me, the very first one was the design a horse. I think I enjoyed everything else, it was very challenging and it was a great cast. I loved the Taskmasters identity being secret, and our entries submitted anonymously. I'd certainly play again and that's the biggest compliment.

I also really liked the team challenges working together.

[AnnieK]

Aw Ben, this has been one of my fave forum games. I'm a huge TaskMaster fan and so have loved playing this. Thanks so much and I hope you do run it again. Great host and great TaskMaster. :love:

[Maru]

It was the perfect amount of torture

[Kate!]

Agree with Maru. 8 rounds was just right.

[AnnieK]

Well done Neem and what a great runner up Annie, I think LT would have given the bubble wrap top scores.

Great job LT :clap1:

Great job Benji

and yes I guessed the Taskmaster right, couldn't miss all the Rangers references, not to mention the shoes :laugh:

I knew it was LT from the first judging. He used the word "recalcitrant" when he was critiquing my entry. LT is the only person, online or in real life, that i have ever seen/heard use that word :laugh:

[Benjamin]

Aw Ben, this has been one of my fave forum games. I'm a huge TaskMaster fan and so have loved playing this. Thanks so much and I hope you do run it again. Great host and great TaskMaster. :love:

:love:

Yay, very happy to hear that.

Glad, there’s another Task Master fan on the forum. I’m currently rewatching season 12 (Alan Davies season) on Netflix.

Haha good old horse. :laugh: :love:

:smug:

[Kate!]

I think you'd get more contestants next time as well if you wished to have more

[Benjamin]

I think you'd get more contestants next time as well if you wished to have more

I actually think 5 (possibly 6) is the perfect amount. Too many would over complicate it I reckon.

[Kate!]

Good point.

[Maru]

Mods would have an upper hand for sure since y'all would have to over analyze people's personal writing styles and their preferred roasting methods...

[Mystic Mock]

Now on to the tasks.

We’ll start this time with a task that reduced most of you (but mainly Mock) to t bye edge of insanity.

I asked you to guess what the Task Master was wearing in as few a questions/guesses as possible.

I know most of you hated this task, but I thoroughly enjoyed it because you made me laugh quite a lot.

Some examples being….

It was my favourite task personally.

Even though I sucked at it really badly.:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

To put Mock out of his misery, The Task Master was wearing this costume….


https://i.ibb.co/rG9hXS8K/IMG-8529.jpg


Damn it!:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

No :joker:

My attempt has got to be the worst attempt at a task ever.:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

Well done me and well done Mock

Thanks Kate, well done to you too.:wavey:

And obviously everyone that took part.

And well done to Niamh for winning.

[Benjamin]

My attempt has got to be the worst attempt at a task ever.:joker:

I was like surely he’ll ask a generic question to round it down at some point. :joker:

[Mystic Mock]

I was like surely he’ll ask a generic question to round it down at some point. :joker:

The one question I should've asked was what country was the animal from.:joker:

[Benjamin]

I thought you were on the cusp at one point, then you asked if he was a brown car. :laugh3:

[Mystic Mock]

I thought you were on the cusp at one point, then you asked if he was a brown car. :laugh3:

I don't know what made me say that.:joker:

[Benjamin]

I don't know what made me say that.:joker:

Honestly had me howling. :laugh:

[Mystic Mock]

Honestly had me howling. :laugh:

Well at least I achieved some laughter.:laugh:

[Benjamin]

Well at least I achieved some laughter.:laugh:

Oh you definitely did haha.

You all made me laugh a lot during this season. :love:

[Mystic Mock]

Oh you definitely did haha.

You all made me laugh a lot during this season. :love:

It was a really fun game imo.

And Maru's hat should be in a Junji Ito Manga.:worry:

[Maru]

My attempt has got to be the worst attempt at a task ever.:joker:

That makes it the best, though

I thought you were on the cusp at one point, then you asked if he was a brown car. :laugh3:

:joker:

Could be worse. Could've asked if he was this:

The TM would have been even more brutal tonight as his team are losing :hehe:

Also, I shall forever be haunted by this



https://i.postimg.cc/c19wfQFp/scary-hat.jpg

That was horrific, maru should have been instantly disqualified imo

Thank you for the win. I'm very drunk. Me and my daughter got given out to at the concert we were at tonight for talking, we had so much fun though

[Niamh.]

Also so happy I didn't come last in the costume task after 742 guesses (give or take)

[Kate!]

But we need to stop the evil Celtic from winning.:fist::bawling::joker:

[Benjamin]

Was thinking of doing a Halloween special for this. Not lots of rounds, maybe just 1 round with a few Halloween related tasks for The Task Master to judge, with the same players from the first season. You’d have time to do them (I’d give you longer time to submit your entries).

There wouldn’t be an award, but just for fun.

Would you be down for that Niamh. Kate! Mystic MockMaru AnnieK Crimson Dynamo

…I don’t think that you typed Maru in correctly there, she won’t get the memo as she’s not underlined…?…

[Livia]

It's half tern that week so I couldn't commit, I'm afraid, as much as I'd like to.

[Benjamin]

Just you will have to do it over the weekend. :hee:

OMG Yes!!

:lovedup:

It's half tern that week so I couldn't commit, I'm afraid, as much as I'd like to.

No worries. This one isn’t a proper season so I’ll most likely just have the players from the first game.

A new proper season will most likely be in the new year (once we’ve all got the chaos of Christmas out the way). :love:

…forum rumour has it that Maru is searching out a very special Halloween hat for the occasion…the terrifying thing is that she was saving her scarier one for this Halloween edition…

[Kate!]

I don't think I'm up for it. Not really in a good frame of mind. What date will it be?

[Benjamin]

I don't think I'm up for it. Not really in a good frame of mind. What date will it be?

Not until end of October.

[Niamh.]

:oh:

[Benjamin]

So I’m thinking 5 tasks for you, but you’ll have a couple of weeks to do them. Sound ok?

Just waiting to see if Maru is happy to play and then I can start the tasks.

[Benjamin]

Tasks will be set next week when I’m back from holiday. It’ll give you a couple of weeks to do the tasks as I know everyone has a lot on. :love:

[Maru]

I'm good to go :love: If you don't mind, please tag me though just so I don't miss anything critical :spin:

Worst ‘treat’ you could receive when trick or treating (include a picture and an explanation)


Task 2

Find the task Master the best Halloween related costume and your reasons why it’s the best.

Task 4

Worst horror movie (with a short clip) and reasons as to why it’s the worst.


Task 5 - Team Task

Write a spooky Halloween poem (150 words) for the Task Master.

Maru
AnnieK

[Cherie]

…it’s a Halloween Party…?..we all need to know what you’re wearing …but get ready Cherie’s way, that doesn’t take much time at all…put a bit of lippy on and run a brush through your hair…you’re an alcoholic, not a savage…

[Niamh.]

If okay, I’ll do results this evening before Traitors/BB as I’ll need time to get ready for tomorrow’s party.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - Results

Good evening all, and welcome to Task Master Halloween special!

4 of you are returning players and one-of you is new player who’ve taken up the challenge to impress the Task Master once again.

This time you were set 5 tasks to complete and these have been submitted to the Task Master for their judging eyes.

Tonight, I’ll reveal how the Task Master rated them all and reveal who has one the special.

As usual, I’ll do each round submissions, followed by the scores of that round.

Good luck!

[Benjamin]

TASK #1

Worst ‘treat’ you could receive when trick or treating

ANNIE

For me, the worst treat would be anything that invade my personal space.....therefore the worst treat I could get would be a Hug Voucher - some people would think that was sweet - for me its my worst nightmare for someone I do not know (and quite often people i do know) to hug me "shudder"

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d1/58/f5/d158f51e72273ec49d5ffe00f11ddca2.jpg

MARU

Kitty Litter Cake

https://i.postimg.cc/05hc473t/5b35bfb2ae822de11ebe05fe4b3447a4.jpg

If it activates your gag complex while you're biting into it, I can't see this would be fun to eat. Not to mention any other "surprises" waiting underneath the top layer..

CHERIE

https://i.ibb.co/wFfzPXdm/407803-O-67003.jpg

The worst treat anyone could give me are licorice allsorts, me and my cousin scoffed two whole bags of these when we were about 6, then we went to play we were rolling around in some hay when I was violently ill, can never look at them since.

NIAMH

https://swizzels.com/import/Parma-Violets-500x500.jpg

Imagine the horror of pulling a packet of Parma Violets out of your bag at the end of the night, disguised as a treat but pulling the biggest trick of all time. You may as well just spray some Air freshener in your mouth.

MOCK

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fEMeea57L._AC_SL1500_.jpg

It just wouldn't serve it's function with me as it's owner.

Plus, Halloween is meant to be a fun holiday for the family.

[Benjamin]

And here’s what The Task Master had to say about your entries:

WELL.... this is quite awkward because I think I would quite like 3 of these! One of them did genuinely make me recoil in disgust, and put me slightly off the slice of toffee apple cake I am currently tucking into...

I'll start off by giving one point to Player C because whilst I do agree there are some licorice allsorts that are gross and unpleasant, there are also some that are quite good and nice and I think that these could be quite pleasant to share amongst friends once you've done your trick-or-treating...

I'll give two points to Player D because again I do unfortunately quite like parma violets! I can appreciate these being a more acquired taste / having less variety than the all-sorts however.

Three points will have to go to Player E because whilst yes it is a very inappropriate gift for children, you COULD feasibly hope that they have no idea what they're holding and start fighting each other with them like lightsabers... and it's also just such a lovely colour scheme!

which means.... hmm... well actually this isn't close for me at all lol because the winner genuinely did make me feel gross. 4 points to Player A because I can understand why hugging feels a bit unpleasant for some - and also I think it would just be a really ****ing creepy gift to give to children if you're an adult stranger!

However Player B takes all 5 points because that image is FOUL and whilst I'm sure it might deceptively be quite nice-tasting, I could not get past the image of it and the smells it conjures in my mind... I love you previous cats, but this was traumatic.

[Benjamin]

TASK #2

Find the Task Master the best Halloween related costume and your reasons as to why it’s the best.

CHERIE

This is a Unisex Butt mask so will suit a male, female or indeed non binary Task Master.

It’s latex, so super stretchy if they have a big head.

Halloween is all about the scares - what is more scary than a massive headless person with a knife dripping blood, The TaskMaster would look scary and huge in this costume.

It's the Jigsaw Killer, and she's on BB this year according to Nancy & Sam.

I couldn't be anymore proud.

MARU

The best costume

Pinata-esk big bird. It's both funny and appeals to children:

Heidi klums Worm Costume is the best costume I could find because it is absolutely terrifying but strangely mesmerising at the same time

[Benjamin]

And here’s how The Task Master ranked your costumes…

OK so in first place for this one I would put Player D because that image has an energy about it that says "this child, shortly after this photograph was taken, was sent to the void to be tormented by this bird for eternity, and some Eldritch deities feed off of his misery..." or words to that effect...

Next, in a close second, is Player C because I like that they've gone to the effort of detailing all of the individual pieces of the costume... although actually maybe this was the image as it already existed hmm... but yes as a full piece it all seems quite doable and easy-to-wear...

In third I have Player B because who doesn't love a decapitated monk? We can all pretend it's Dave from BB11.

Fourth... I'll put the Heidi Klum costume from Player E because whilst it is indeed good I have already seen it (as have half the world!) and I find it more bizarre than scary.

and whilst I do appreciate the consideration put into gender-neutral bottoms from Player A it is unfortunately just a mask, and not really a complete costume.

[Benjamin]

TASK #3

Draw a spooky scene. You can use whatever method you like to draw (but not using AI).

I can confirm nobody used AI.

[Cherie]

oh dear I'm not doing too well:laugh:

[Niamh.]

Sorry I'm late, looks like I'm flopping bad :laugh:

[Kate!]

Great efforts everyone.

[Benjamin]

How did your works of art fare?…


OK so this is tough...

I'll give 1pt to Player D because that is unfortunately just a little banner with words and 3 drawings, not enough of a scene I'm afraid :inamood:

I am intrigued by whatever the hell is going on in Player A's drawing but I wouldn't really say this is a "scene" either, just a very strange figure...

Perhaps being a bit generous I've put Player B in third because um... whilst it does indeed tell a story of sorts, let's say perhaps that art is not something they have devoted much time to.

I like both of the other two but I have to put Player C second because I find it difficult to understand what this scene even means but I can at least spend a good few hours psychoanalysing it if I ever choose to...

which means Player E wins because I mean, come on... hang it in the Louvre and let it get stolen...

[Cherie]

Can we guess who the Task Master is


My guess is Shaun

Its defo not LT at any rate

[Kate!]

I think I know who this Taskmaster is....

Shaun

[Benjamin]

Worst horror movie (with a short clip) and reasons as to why it’s the worst.

NIAMH

Tusk - A guy is kidnapped by a weird Walrus loving dude and surgically turns him into a Walrus. I admit I haven't watched the whole of this movie but the idea of it is one of the worst and ridiculously disturbing I've seen. It's also grotesquely captivating :worry:

MARU

An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore (see what I did there)

CHERIE

I don't think there are any words to express how bad this is, I mean I am scarier in the water than Jaws.


ANNIE

The worst horror movie of all time has to be Llamageddon.....killer Llamas running riot -

ml-OBrGxnZA

MOCK

I wanted to really pick Broken 2006, but I couldn't find a good video to show off it's poor quality.

But Paranormal Activity was just a generic Supernatural Horror Film imo, that really lacked in being scary imo.

[Cherie]

Didn't realise I had to turn into Picasso for this task ...

[Benjamin]

You can guess, there’s no extra points up for grabs :tongue:

[Benjamin]

Can I just say about the movies, that Jaws scene always makes me laugh.

And Annie’s entry is just ****ing baaaaaad. You just watch the clip. :joker:

[Cherie]

Can I just say about the movies, that Jaws scene always makes me laugh.

And Annie’s entry is just ****ing baaaaaad. You just watch the clip. :joker:

its brilliant never seen it before :laugh: Annie :love:

[Benjamin]

And here’s how your choices did…


Okay so "worst horror movie" can be interpreted a number of ways and as someone who does not like horror movies in general this might be a bit tough... but to me I think the "worst" ones are probably those old B movies that look so campy and cheaply-made and silly.

I can see why Player B would think this is a "bad horror movie" because if you're shopping for a horror movie this would be a bad option... but it's one of the most eye-opening documentaries certainly of this century so I cannot in good faith put this anywhere but last, so 1 point :laugh:

I can see why people would think Paranormal Activity is bad but up against the other options submitted here it just generally looks like a well-made, big budget Hollywood hit and I can see why it was successful, so I have to put Player E 4th with 2pts...

As for the other three this is tough... but I'm gonna put Player C third with 3pts because whilst the Jaws sequels were definitely bad, I think they're also a product of the special effects of their time... and also I'd consider this more of an action movie than a horror one really, though I can see the blurred line. This is indeed laughably bad now but that's the 70s for you...

I'll then put Player A in second because this does seem to tick all the boxes of a bad horror movie: a ridiculous premise, some wooden acting, and some very bizarre special effects... but I get the impression this is trying to be a serious movie at least?

Which is why I give the win to Player D because this has to be a joke someone put together with a budget of $250... surely??!!?

[Kate!]

Very good judging.

[Benjamin]

And finally your poems…

TASK #5 - Team Task

In your teams, collaborate and write a spooky Halloween poem (150 words maximum) for the Task Master.

Double Trouble

In the eerie glow of an October’s night,
The TaskMaster stirs, delighting in fright.
Big Brother watches, eyes cold and wide,
Measuring mischief that no-one can hide.

Niamh creeps with a cunning grin,
Planning her moves, plotting to win.
Cherie laughs with a ghostly delight,
Haunting each task in the pale moonlight.

Annie tiptoes on the forum's floors,
Chasing the echoes of creaking doors.
Mock conjures tricks with a flick of a hand,
Turning the ordinary into something in demand.

Maru prowls where darkness clings,
Twisting the rules, editing clips and pulling on strings.
Candles flicker, pumpkins leer,
Spirits giggle, tonight mischief is near.

TIBB assembles, their fates entwined,
In a Halloween game of the most devilish kind.
The TaskMaster grins, Big Brother waits,
Tonight, only cunning determines their fates.

Who will win....you decide!

The Master Taskers

A bone chilling moan shakes the forum, “what was that” hisses Maru?
Cherie drops her knitting and cries “I don’t have a clue”
A rumble is heard in the past members thread
From one of the graves pops a grizzly head
Zee is for Zombie, I am the Undead!

Zee marches forward to bone chilling screams
There is a sudden hasty exit of Queens
He raises his long bony finger of doom
pointing while disappearing into the gloom
Serious Debates begins to quake
Niamh gives her ban hammer a shake
Chat and games comes alive with shrieks
Dont hurt me BOTs and LT squeak

Suddenly a flow of new members: Zee1, Zee2, Zee3,..
It is the forum's Last Day
Who could they be as they troll relentlessly
Old members suddenly return to post one final goodbye...
As the Undead user exclaims: "I am here to scrub. I am AI"

[Benjamin]

So did you impress The Task Master?…

I found it quite funny and surprising (and indeed bone-chilling) that both teams thought to send my blood shivering with mentions of not only Niamh but Cherie and Maru too...

I will of course split the points here because we have differing rhyming schemes and both are good... but I will give Team A 3 points because their verses flow a little easier and smoothly and Team B can have a well-earned 2 points.

I'll keep an eye out for future anthologies from everyone.

Can I just say Maru also wins the award for most disturbing thing with not only that horrendous kitty litter cake but that bird outfit. :joker:

Oh wow, that was a great show! I didn't expect to win. I'm usually very "mid-low" in everything that involves actual judging.

I loved my Al Gore entry as it was meant to be entirely satirical in nature as it's not meant to be an outright horror film (and yet that's how it's advertised) and that was more than worth the 1 pt to submit it as a joke joker::joker:

I didn't expect to win the costume category. I really liked Niamh's Heidi Klum entry

I had another option for Big Bird also with creepy vibes but the one with the scared child won in the end:

There were so many kitty litter cakes. I've seen them in person though and they're kind of popular? They make it and then when the person handing out the candy opens the door, someone else stands behind and shoves it at the children to get a gag response :skull:
