I gratefully accept the judge's adjudication :) and congratulations to our winners Stoner Sloth and Rarity. As much as it might sound easy, editing the HTML of 61 different posts was incredibly arduous and I hope to not spend that much effort going forward.

Also I'm so sad nobody got caught lol, I almost went with Heather Papps and your friend sk's strategy. That was a lot of fun :D

fwiw checking up on the other competitors and seeing Rarity's ploy was what made me realize I had to take a whole new approach.

e: the worst part for me was that usually people don't interact with my posts much but several of my "disingenuous" task posts generated a lot of discussion :gerty:

So far this competition has made me realize I was wrong about these kind of competitions. I always thought movies like The Game or scenarios where some kind of parallel to reality competition happens and the protagonist drops everything to do the competition were unrealistic -- like how would someone just get invested in a game and prioritize it over other things?

Now here I am staying up late and cramming my lunch break to do tasks, and loving it :allears:

Rarity pulling out in front, but by no means an invulnerable lead! it's still anybody's competition! and remember, there are prizes for second and third place too . . . not as spiffy as the trophy, I will grant you, but respectable!

while we're waiting for our new task (and working furiously on our puppet shows), I want to share with you an exclusive, limited-supply bonus gift for taskmaster participants:



BYOB taskmaster lapel pins!! the perfect decoration for your weed rear end hat, or other bit of clothing!

these pins are courtesy of Holland Oates/hamjobs, who requests that she be referred to as "little alex horne" for the duration of BYOB taskmaster, and who has decided to be extra about it!

at the moment I think we're doing okay with quantities, but quantities are indeed limited, and you secure your place in line by completing a task!! or being a guest judge--don't worry, judges also qualify for a cool taskmaster lapel pin.

This is where the magic happens:

I will be performing a traditional song of my people, cringe early 90's PSA level rap, with a pumice stone foot scratcher, several BBQ lighers, a 45 lb kettlebell, and the vocal style of someone that aspires to the levels of Riff Raff.

https://voca.ro/1iDdIJg9bv60

I can only apologize. I'm sitting next to 3 guitars, a dulcimer, a ukelele, a recorder, and a keyboard. I can't use them to make music? My first instinct was to record me beating up a bunch of empty boxes in my storage room, but I need those boxes. Those are retirement boxes. Chuckie B OUT! -mic drop- -goes under the stage where he's hidden a sleeping blanket because I live here now until they discover me-

That had me dying, I'm pulling for you getting a 5/5 for this one. Too good lmao.

My own song, on the other hand...is a little more subdued. My only hope is that, perhaps, it might make you, oh....feel good?

Alright so here's the deal. As a relatively new SomethingAwful newbie, and an infrequent BYOB poster, I was unaware of crang before now. For that reason, I sought to take as few liberties as possible in deviating from the recipe -- far be it from me to say I know a crang cocktail better than the good regulars of BYOB.

I did have:
Water
Fruit juice

and that's it.... Replacing lemon juice and apple cider vinegar is fruit cocktail juice (and a few fruits within) and white vinegar, respectively.

Because I'm a masochist, and also because I feel one could argue my timezone / schedule has given me a bit of an advantage so far in having ample time for most tasks, I'm cranking up the difficulty a little bit with a drop of Da' Bomb Beyond Insanity hot sauce. Those familiar with the contraband sauce will know that one drop is typically enough to add heat to an entire dish, for example a bowl of chili. Wings coated in the stuff have been a mainstay of Hot Ones as the 2nd or 3rd worst sauce in the ramp-up for many seasons now. Screeching in at 135,600 scoville units, that puts Da Bomb at equivalent to roughly a Habanero, for whatever that's worth.

I also tried not to skimp too much on the vinegar, as much as it goes against my better judgement. Finally I added a banana garnish for flair, and then fed some banana slices leftover to my guinea pigs.

I await the next task / part two of this task with severe trepidation for obvious reasons... :ohdear:

I'm really liking Bukowski's choice of blending the drink too, super good. I should also note for posterity that I DO plan to include a few ice cubes in mine, loose/whole, but my drink is festering in the freezer until further notice. Gotta give myself maximum odds of getting it down.

Well I have a lot of thoughts. As everyone might expect, it's not good. But! It's about half as bad as I thought, which is still pretty bad, but not absolutely gutchurning.

I went for it one big chug because I could kind of smell vinegar and I was real uneasy about the proposition of drinking it slowly or in multiple swallows or whatever. It went down okay, and I opted to not drink the fruit or banana garnish that fell in. Sue me.

On the downside, there's a definitely burn in my stomach and my lips DO tingle lightly from the Da Bomb sauce. Fortunately I'm somewhat innoculated to a drop or two, but its weird having hot lips from a cocktail shot.

Overall, not actually as bad as I worried. I'm drinking some water now to be safe, and the aftertaste does linger.

I posted enough pictures of drinking this stuff.

So I'm most of the way through my 2nd of this (i chugged the remainder from the blender after i poured the 2nd, so i guess im on my 3rd) and my mind has changed a little bit. At first it tasted like a sweet vaguely fruity cherryforsomereason chocolate (cuzz da coffee) with a lot of foamy sweet froth. But the thing is you really need to slam it otherwise the blending which saves the drink starts to reverse as it warms and it separates again. Yeah don't add milk to your coffee if you're going to add it to a cocktail with booze and sour/sweet fruity acidic poo poo, its like my obsession with cola milk/pilk but thats another story.

Long story short after the initial sparkle wears off, it tastes like you're the second person to drink what was once a passable cocktail but someone decided to lean over you while you were sleeping with your mouth open and BABY BIRD BABY BIRD

really selling me on the grossness of it now, blegh

My plan isn't far off from that actually -- I am afraid of spiders and I have a utility closet that goes largely unused and undisturbed so I'm thinking it might be a spidery location. Going to sit there with the door closed behind me in the dark and take some POV shots I guess?
