KNIGHTMARE Unfairness

HStorm

You can get all this info from the FANSFAQ on Illusion's site, but here are answers in brief...

Team 1 from season 3. One of the members of the team signed the guestbook a few years back and admitted that they were given a second go.
They fell off the snake's tongue bridge in the serpent's lair. The next team hadn't arrived so they were allowed to refilm the bit when the dungeoneer walked across the bridge.
There's untold heaps of behind-the-scenes info. I wouldn't know where to start or what to leave out I'm afraid. Like I say, check out the FANSFAQ.

Thanks HSTORM you a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HStorm

Er, thanks. Wouldn't go that far, but thanks.

There was also the team, whos quest was killed off because one team member wanted to go home.

TheBrollachan

I doubt that team remained friends after being on the show (I could be wrong though).

FrightKnight

In that situation, if I was one of the advisors...

Depending upon which mood I was in, I'd either be compassionate and explain the circumstances to TC and ask if there was a way of cutting the quest short, or I'd tell the kid to 'shut up or I'll kick you in the stomach'.

?

That was an interesting story.

Mona lisa (or anyone else who knows about the incident) could you provide me with any more details.

Which team and which series were they in.

Back to the plot...

I don't think you can say that Knightmare was unfair just because certain teams didn't face certain obstacles. If every team went through every room that it was get boring quickly. The balance of difficultly evens up over the levels - no teams got it easy and no quests were too hard. Sure - some mistakes are forgiven while others are not but you usually find tat this is uniform by series.

Barry took a potion called Fire Proof when he was in the Fireball room, that explains why he didn't die in that one.

But he did go over the edge abit on the moving block room.

Purgatory

I think it's fair enough.

Each team got a different challenge, each needing a different tactic.

Mind you each winning team had an easy ride,

you could say a team not getting the blades is kinda lucky.. well if you know what your doing this puzzle isn't very hard, also a team not getting the blades could very well end up with something different,

I do think the short cuts were wrong, and i didn't like the complete fixed season 7 winning quest.

But overall i think each team pretty much gets the same, it's just depends on how the team plays the rooms,

?

Fair enough i agree with the last guy.

when i entitled this thread KM unfairness i phrased myself wrongly.

I'm not neccessarily saying outright that KM was unfair i was just saying that quite clearly some teams had it harder than others.

I'm arguing- as the last person said that MOST of the winning teams ( NOT ALL) had a relatively easy ride. thats all i'm really saying

Malefact

I see what you mean. I notice that teams get a slightly differing amount of information in Clue Rooms. For two correct riddles, some teams found out which object not to take and some didn't. Also, there have been occasions when a clue object hasn't been needed. There again, no two quests are identical. It is possible that the game was tweaked as it went along but there was probably no option but to take the pragmatic approach - this sort of thing hadn't been done before. If series 1, for example, had remained as difficult as it was at the start, I doubt the last team would have reached Level Three - they didn't have to answer any of Cedric's riddles, for one thing.

I find that Simons team got it rather easy in S4, if I am not mistaken Oakley gives them their clues without asking any questions (it is one team from that season)

But they did, famously, get the Block & Tackle!

Forester

Thanks HSTORM you a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't that be "HStorm of Legend"?

Kieran

He's made out of stone now?

I think it was unfair when our good wall monster in S1 decided to have air problems....It could have easily put the team off their dinner, hence they'd lose their concentration!

HStorm

No, largely made out of fatty tissue, as usual. $:-\$

Raven

You have to remember they alternate the dungeon. In the early series' he would say something like 'The dungeon is always changing, so any prior knowlewdge of it will be useless'.

Fidjit

Oh Superspurs, I'm sorry for my poor attitude toward you yesterday... I was wrong all way round and I feel absolutley stupid!

?

This is an interesting twist in your intentions Fidjit.

I suspect a deception?

This epic feud between me and you must continue.

Only one of us will get to Level 3 and BEYOND

Fidjit

Arkay...
