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

[Benjamin]

https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53d8f450e4b0ddeb5ce066e5/42fdd858-2f93-4021-8cd6-ddfe7812ba13/Taskmaster.jpg

Going to potentially run a short game based loosely on the TV show if I can get some interest.

For those who’ve never watched it. Basically 5/6 players will be set random/silly challenges (individual or team) to complete and will have roughly 24/48 hours to complete it to score points. There will likely be 8 rounds.

The challenges themselves won’t be time consuming (you just will have some time to do them as people have various life schedules).

The points will be handed out by the Task Master based on their judgement/satisfaction and how well they think you did the task/impressed them.

At the end of the rounds, whoever has the most points wins TiBB’s Task Master and this cheeky little award https://i.ibb.co/NdrN9ctg/IMG-7589.jpg

Anyone interested?

[Kate!]

Questions....
When will it be? Josiah and I have plans mid to late August.
Also are you hosting and being the Taskmaster as well or do you need a TaskMaster? I'd like to do it?

Probably start beginning August if I can get 5/6 people interested. I have somebody in mind for the task master.

Especially if I can't.:laugh:

[Benjamin]

Go on, I'll give it a shot.

It starts August?

Yeah, likely August 3rd as I’m away for a week before then. It hopefully won’t be too time consuming for everyone, I’m trying to create challenges which won’t be too demanding as I know everyone has busy schedules.

[Benjamin]

I think I have my 6 players now. :dazzler:

Okay thanks for the info.

So do we have to come up with tasks for the other contestants to complete?

[Benjamin]

Nope, you get given tasks to complete. ;)

Bring it on.:devil:

[Benjamin]

Just a reminder to the 6 contestants as I’m now away in Isles of Scilly until 2nd August; I’ve sent out the first challenges. If you’ve not already done so please send me your entries by 31st July so I can get them to the Task Master to judge ready for the launch on 3rd August.

If anyone has questions, PM me, and I’ll try my best whilst away to answer them. :love:

If I knew how to print it I could get it done at the post office and then design it and take a photo to send to Ben. But I don't know how lol.

[Benjamin]

If you have a laptop/PC you can use paint and add the image to play around with it.

I can’t tell you if it’s ok or not. I’m not judging, the Task Master is. :laugh:

No I mean is it OK I didn't use the template.

[Benjamin]

No I mean is it OK I didn't use the template.

Again, you can interpret the challenge as you want and if you think the Task Master will deem it ok (I have no say on their judging). :tongue:

[Kate!]

Righty ho. It is my best effort. Lol.

[Mystic Mock]

I did the challenge.

Like Kate I didn't follow the template, so fair enough if I end up getting penalized for it.

Roll onto round 2.:laugh:

[Kate!]

This is very close to starting now. I'm looking forward to it.

:amazed:

[Benjamin]

I think I’m going to postpone this for a while, as a couple of people had things come up. I’ll still run it, but likely later in the year (maybe sep/oct).

Those that have submitted things can still use those or when I run they can change them and have first refusal of playing the game. X

Hope that’s ok.

[Beso]

Kate could fill the time with the summer months chart music game she promised us.

[AnnieK]

Oh no....i had literally just sent my entries too :laugh:

whatever is best Ben :love:

[Kate!]

In fact I have an idea but it isn't music. It's a bit different.

But defo can use them when it starts as the 1st round won’t change. :love:

I know it's after the fact, but time has been freed up more recently... is it possible to be able to join in as a player still? I saw we could do some painting and I was like ooh....

[Benjamin]

I could still run it now and you jump in to take a place of someone who had something come up, and then run another in October/nov if it goes well for them to join.

If the current players are happy with that?

[Kate!]

Good evening and welcome to Task Master. 5 forum members will be taking on various challenges, vying to impress the Task Master and win points.

At the end of the game, whichever player has the most points overall will be crowned the champion and get a wee award (and gloating rights).

The players for this season are:

* Kate
* Annie
* Niamh
* Mock
* Maru

Have they got what it takes to impress the task master?

Let’s find out…

[Benjamin]

Round 1 - Best inflatable thing

The players were asked to find the best inflatable thing, and explain why it was the best inflatable thing.

So let’s see what they picked.

[Benjamin]

KATE

https://digitalcontent.api.tesco.com/v2/media/marketplace/5521e570-01b5-4bc3-9853-c52db794d585/mzxFB6sDA_ZWJZtynPjznLPFY_42659119.jpeg?h=960&w=960

Mine is such a great inflatable, it brings joy and radiates good vibes to everyone that sees it. The rainbow signifies beauty and harmony throughout the world. Very appealing to look at, and great fun to use. Please choose it. It's also extremely rare and lucky, so I think I've picked something different.

[Maru]

:clap1:

[Kate!]

:clap1:

Thank you.

[Benjamin]

MOCK

https://theconceptfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Inflatable-Pool-Bars-4.jpg

It looks cool, and it was the most unique design that I had personally spotted when scrolling through inflatable items.

[Kate!]

Omg Mock !!! Fabulous

[Benjamin]

ANNIE

As a Mod....people are moaning about the ban hammer not being wielded enough and so I have decided this is the perfect thing to practice with. As the Task Master is all powerful - what better thing to have than a giant ban hammer to keep us all in line during this competition.

[Kate!]

Mock being a party animal wasn't on my bingo card...

Annie's should come with sound effects

Niamh, I remember selling so many crocs way back when I worked in shoes... they're still popular

https://i.postimg.cc/V69zT3pj/IMG20250728172524.jpg

My entry is this inflatable rainbow sprinkler (Yes, it rains on the inside). It is $9 and is very uplifting to have hanging out in your lawn. It took forever to blow up though. It's 6' tall.

[Kate!]

Love this Maru.

[Benjamin]

So I passed these on to the Task Master to rank. I kept your identities hidden so they didn’t know who submitted what.

Let’s see how well you won over the Task Master

[Maru]

Mine is still in my yard lmao. I haven't had the heart to deflate it and I really need to mow

[Benjamin]

KATE

1 point. Whilst the inflatable was colourful it certainly isnt rare as was claimed and it really belongs in a pre-school day at the pool and nowhere else. Rainbows signal the refraction of light not "harmony". A rainbow is an optical illusion—it does not actually exist in a specific spot in the sky and a unicorn is a mythical creature based on a horse. In this game accuracy is as important as originality.

[Kate!]

Oops :laugh:

:hugesmile:

[Benjamin]

ANNIE

2 points. Its great to see an entry that combines fun with forum discipline. The image is not crisp, however and that cost you ponts as did the fact the woman has sunglasses on with such a high forehead. Overall, a good solid entry that addresses the need for more bans on the forum for recalcitrant members.

[Kate!]

I've an idea who the TM is.

[Benjamin]

MARU

4 points. This would be great for kids, little girls specifically and the fact it rains on them would give parents the ideal opportunity to cover a scientific chat and combine it with fun. I was also drawn to the excellent value in this time of austerity. The addition of some balls in the image is astute as if the kids had brothers, they could use this as a set of goals and play football and hey invite the sisters too as they will have been inspired by the Lionesses. Dual purpose and cheap. Good shout.

[Benjamin]

MOCK

5 points. Well what is not to love about this monster. A paddle in the water to keep your feet cool, a mouthwatering cocktail and a seat to rest your weary bones. Whilst this would probably infuriate the neighbours you would be too pissed to care. Love it

NIAMH

3 points. I did laugh when I saw this. Overall, its a conversation starter. I dont think Gen Z would immediately know what a croc is but for the older generation its ideal. If the shoe fits I guess

[Kate!]

Well done everyone

Again, the Task Master was passed these with your identities hidden.

Let’s see what they had to say about these erm, fine designs.


MOCK

2 points. A stark and ethereal choice here with bat wings and a choice of 3 horns, rather reminded me of 10th Century Iceland and Odin's eight-footed pacer named Sleipnir. The back facing horn could poke a riders eye out so I did have some health and safety issues here.

[Benjamin]

MARU

3 points. Haha, good to see this asture horse does not identify as a Unicorn and is giving a ride to a tech savvy Sausage dog with a Wizardly juant about him. Its giving fun.

[Benjamin]

ANNIE

4 points. Good solid entry bursting with colour and vigor. An astute tip of the hat to the BB eye and a picture of Finchy from The Office (I think) who is a bloody good rep. Vibrant.

[Benjamin]

NIAMH

5 points. Good pun, very funny image, lovely smile. Unusual to have Ben's avatar and what looks like Michael Stone riding (the former militant who was a member of the Ulster Defence Association, a loyalist paramilitary group in Northern Ireland) - which is a lovely combination of a Psychotic killer and the Irish lad. The addition of the Towers was the icing on this equine croc cake.

KATE

1 point. I don’t think any teacher would be happy with this standard AI entry and it’s just a horses head and not a whole horse.

[Kate!]

Ahhh well. I tried. I'm utterly useless at designing and everyone was better than me so it's fair enough lol.

I'll have to up my game

[Benjamin]

So the total scores after the 1st round look like this:

8 points - Niamh
7 points - Maru
7 points - Mock
6 points - Annie
2 points - Kate

But it’s still early days, and many more challenges to come.

Speaking of challenges, let’s get you set up with some fresh hell to torture you with. ;)

[Benjamin]

ROUND 2

Worst hat

Find the worst hat and give your reasons why it’s the worst hat.


Love Language

Find a song in a foreign language to seduce the Task Master and describe why it would seduce them in less than 50 words.


You have until 5pm Tuesday to send me both your entries by PM.

Again, for my ease, please send them separately. :love:

[Kate!]

Omg!!

[Benjamin]

I’ve extended the deadline until 5pm Tuesday (but if I get them all sooner I’ll submit them to the Task Master sooner).

[Benjamin]

Also I loved the entries for inflatable and especially the horses hahaha.


I also really want that inflatable bar!

[Maru]

I could've gone with a trans-unicorn depending on who the TM is... :laugh: I'm surprised no one added a horses* reference somewhere

[Maru]

Worst hat

Find the worst hat and give your reasons why it’s the worst hat.


So many options

[Mystic Mock]

Omg Mock !!! Fabulous

I'm scrolling through them all.

I feel like we've all done well on the inflatable round.

I'm interested to see how the Horse round went.:dance:

[Mystic Mock]

Mock needs to celebrate with a cold one tonight

I honestly didn't expect to win the inflatable round.:laugh:

[Benjamin]

I honestly didn't expect to win the inflatable round.:laugh:

I also would have placed yours first. It’s amazing. I really want it. :laugh:

Exciting

[Cherie]

I concur with the Taskmaster in round 1, Mock and Neem.

Why do I feel the Taskmaster is Ben :think:

ROUND 2

Good evening, welcome to round 2’s results.

You were tasked with two challenges, the first being to find the worst hat!

And some of you truly found some awful hats haha.

Let’s see what you all submitted…

[Kate!]

Buzzing

[Benjamin]

NIAMH

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41WpW4a5PHL._SY350_.jpg

This is the Wurst hat I could find, you'll feel like a right silly sausage wearing this

[Benjamin]

KATE



https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250803/4aede1f1a2c62db7d51a13db940a1058.jpg

A hat! A hat!
Call THAT a hat!?!
Fook me
You'd look a twat
In that hat!!
U.G.L.Y
You ain't got no alibi
It's UGLY!
Yeah.

I've chosen this because it's incredibly ugly, such a hideous colour, extremely unflattering. This hat has no redeeming features. twats would wear it. Pass the sick bucket!

[Benjamin]

ANNIE



https://i.postimg.cc/mDLM3R7K/Screenshot-20250805-081409-Google.jpg

This has to be the worst hat as it makes you a literal **** head

[Benjamin]

MOCK



https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2015226/rs_500x331-150326112122-OB6faL9.jpg

It looks she's hiding someone's chopped off arm inside of her hat lol. Plus it's bigger than her head.

[Benjamin]

MARU



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

"Not only is it ugly as hell, but it's very likely cursed. It won't curse the wearer though, but the person unfortunate enough to catch it at the worst angle possible."

[Niamh.]

Maru's is truly terrifying :laugh2:

[Kate!]

Maru!! Omg! Brilliant.

[Benjamin]

So did you manage to impress the Task Master with your awful hats?…

[Niamh.]

:worry:

[Benjamin]

2 seconds, just stirring my chicken curry.

[Kate!]

Eek!

[Niamh.]

2 seconds, just stirring my chicken curry.

Hurry up, I have to leave at 5:30pm :idc:

[Kate!]

Hurry up, I have to leave at 5:30pm :idc:

Yeah curry up Ben

[Benjamin]

1 point went to Niamh because I’ve deducted her points for rushing my dinner cooking. :fist:

But the actual 1 point went to…


Kate - That ain’t a hat and that ain’t a real person.

[Niamh.]

:oh:

[Benjamin]

2 points went to…


ANNIE - This is an emoticon hat and its meant to be **** so technically its meant to be bad deliberately.

[Kate!]

Get lost. That is a hat.

And the poem was really good.

[Benjamin]

3 points went to…

MARU - Whilst it is a disconcerting image from above, most people would just see it as a furry cap at eye level. Pretty weird though

[Kate!]

Not being funny but if whoever is the Taskmaster knows who I am, they are marking me low on purpose here. Bit pissed off. Spent absolutely ages looking for that.

[Benjamin]

So who got the Task Masters 5 points?



MOCK - 5 points. I mean wtf is that - a pink spring roll?. It looks like that gym matt that boy fell into head first and died in the USA when no-one heard his cries.

NIAMH - 4 points. Good pun and nice bun. Extra marks for the gormless look on the man's face.

[Benjamin]

They didn’t know who sent what. :tongue:

[Niamh.]

I thought they were sent to the Task Master anonymously?

[Kate!]

They didn’t know who sent what. :tongue:

It can be worked out.

Oh my God, I listened to a Podcast about that poor boy :worry:

[Benjamin]

Next up you had to seduce the Task Master with a song in a foreign language. You also had to explain why it would seduce them in less than 50 words..

[Niamh.]

It can be worked out.

How would they know?

[Kate!]

How would they know?

Cos I say fook a lot.

[Kate!]

No offence to the others but mine was one of the worst hats.

[Benjamin]

In the interest of time (and my sanity because the songs and text take ages to copy and paste) everyone’s song choices were below:


PLAYER A


R6VCCQnMH6o

"Reuniting with a lost love, duels with evil samurai and computer hardware with advanced levels of memory retrieval. What isn't there to love?"




PLAYER B


Sung especially for you and the original…

English lyrics

In the wake of these years
Of temperate climate,
Where a few sunny spells
Help to forget the rain.
After this long desert
Crossed in the winter,
I'm hungry for you,
I'm hungry for your gaze
Laid on my gaze.

French lyrics

Après toutes ces années
De climat tempéré
Où quelques éclaircies
Font oublier la pluie
Après ce long désert
Traversé en hiver
Oh, j'ai faim de toi
J'ai faim de ton regard
Posé sur mon regard


Reasons

I think the words are very seductive and also particularly appropriate for you Taskmaster as I suspect you are someone who loves holidays and good weather and the song would therefore appeal greatly. You'd fall in love with my dulcet tones as I attempt to sing you a verse.



PLAYER C


A-lY_TyRb4U

I've chosen Love is a Battlefield as our Task Masters love language is most definitely competition and people fighting tooth and nail in these tasks to win his/her love and approval. The language I chose is Klingon because our great leader is out of this world.




PLAYER D


NUsoVlDFqZg

- Enrique Iglesias pouring his heart out for romance.

- Sexy woman with dark hair dancing.

- Guitar skills.

- The Spanish language is known as one of the sexy languages in this world.




PLAYER E


s9CbGMQcDIQ

I think this song is perfect for seducing the TaskMaster because it's deep, passionate lyrics promise unwavering devotion and strength, matching the TaskMaster’s need for loyalty and intensity in the tasks we are set. :wink:

[Benjamin]

So how did your seduction go? Were they impressed? Did they appreciate most assumed The Task Master was a man?…

[Benjamin]

MARU

Player A - 2 points. Nothing says seduction like some spooky Japanese woman getting thrown in jail and writhing around is a head mask in some remake of Takeshi's Castle. She did have nice nails.

[Benjamin]

ANNIE

Player E - 3 points. French is the language of love, and what says seduction more than an old man with dyed hair and enough botox and filler to fill Wembley Stadium. The old rascal still has it, though. Phwoooaaaar.

[Glenn.]

MARU

That is ****ing awful :skull:

[Niamh.]

That is ****ing awful :skull:

Yeah I would picked that as the worst hat :laugh:

[Benjamin]

MOCK

Player D - 1 point. What on earth? Too many men in this and no one has said Spanish is a sexy language. This is the type of song that you hear 24/7 in Playa de Las Americas from bars that have photos of their menu, and it's all chips and oil bottles.

[Benjamin]

So which of Kate and Niamh managed to bring the Task Master to their knees with their seductive spell….

[Kate!]

Oooo

[Niamh.]

Oooo

Now see, they'd obviously know which of the 2 is yours here and you got either 4 or 5 points

[Benjamin]

KATE - Player B - 4 points. Unusual entry, slightly disconcerting but not without hints of seduction. Like dating a praying mantis.

NIAMH - Player C -5 points. This is what we like. A mentalist woman, singing a banger in a made-up Science fiction-based language. That really got the juices flowing and the dilithium crystals firing on full warp speed!

[Kate!]

Ahhh Niamh. Brilliant. Well done lovely.

[Glenn.]

Now see, they'd obviously know which of the 2 is yours here and you got either 4 or 5 points

ROUND 3


Task 1 - Best word (and reasons why it’s the best word)


Task 2 - TEAM TASK - 10 items you’d bring to a desert island and why.

You will receive points as a team for team tasks. How you work as a team is up to you, but maybe pick someone to submit your teams ten items once the items have been decided (so they are neatly all in one message).

TEAM A - Maru, Kate & Niamh
TEAM B - Mock & Annie

BONUS POINT - The Task Master will award one team a bonus point for best team name!


You have until Thursday (7th) at 6pm to submit your tasks.

Good luck!

[Kate!]

Maru Niamh.

Shall I set up a social group for us 3 to do this task?

[Niamh.]

Maru Niamh.

Shall I set up a social group for us 3 to do this task?Yes ma'am

[Kate!]

Me and romance are like Cats and Garlic.:joker:

We can do this Annie.:dance:

[Maru]

Mystic Mock Now that I've actually looked at the thread properly. I saw that "hat" (a very British version of Aladdin's carpet), but it was one of the first ones I'd found by typing in "worst hat" :laugh:...

(It also kind of looks like the Katamari hats/headwear)

My second option, but just didn't seem to be stick out enough to me, (no pun intended):

https://i.postimg.cc/YqnJ4k0N/dcd8f904230ca808ef5d1c88688878c9.jpg

She looks like Naomi Campbell a bit, but no idea who it is wearing it. Apparently it's made of PVC and made London Fashion Week (https://www.glamour.com/story/the-5-craziest-fashion-things-8).
