Honorable Mentions

Before we get into the number one blog this week, I would like to introduce the 3 honorable mentions for this week! Also, I did forget to say that the Honorable Mentions will NOT actually be based on the criteria, just my opinion on the blog, but I will still be rating them. For the first honorable mention, I would like to present...

toowise - Capital City Origins ~ South America

Great! Too bad that Aficionado couldn't get in the main rankings... Also how dare you give out another Pickled Salamander Acrobatics award?! It is a one and only unique opportunity! This time it should be the Potatoes in Pasta award for Put in Perspective.

Level 67

Dec 21, 2021

Um ok will change to psoriatic arthritis award

Level 66

Dec 21, 2021

NO, POTATOES IN PASTA!!

RIP pickled salamanders ;-;

Level 60

Dec 21, 2021

I will make it on Blog Games! I will even if I have to try the next week, and the next week, and the next week, and the next week. (Phone call for you Ethaboo444) And the next week, and the next week. (For those wondering that is a reference to the Spongebob episode "The Algae is Always Greener").

Level 58

Dec 21, 2021

im not telling you my phone number btw lol

Level 43

Dec 21, 2021

2nd place 😎😎😎

And Aficionado for guest judge was an amazing choice! Why don’t the guest judges leave their opinions on the blog also? Stewart was more than deserved. But when Public Salty Application Award?

And talking about my blog, did you find the Easter egg lol? Remembering that I’ll surely do at least four parts. Maybe 6. I’m about 38.699999999% finished with Part 2 (the fault for precise numbers is of Aficionado lol).

Congrats to all the featured people! :)

Level 66

Dec 21, 2021

Also RRR was 2/3 my idea so can I get 2/3 of the best title award?

Level 43

Dec 21, 2021

When it was? ;-;

Level 58

Dec 21, 2021

we try to but its a bit too much work. We can try again to give the guest judges opinion in two weeks when the next guest judge is.

Level 43

Dec 21, 2021

You can collab with the people, and they can add their comments in the blog :)

Level 58

Dec 21, 2021

i guess we could just give them the option to make comments for the blogs, but we don't want people to spend 30 minutes just writing reasonable comments for something they will only get barely any fame for, although being a guest judge is quite prestigious lol, and we do appreciate people wanting to be able to help us.

Level 62

Dec 21, 2021

Congrats to all the people! Imagine Aficionado ranking his own blog lol.

Level 73

Dec 21, 2021

I didn't. They said they would rank it and then multiply it by 1.5 so that I could "get" into the ranking. Honestly, I feel like being cheated a little bit. Guys, was I literally too generous in rating the blogs that you didn't let me in the rankings? 🤔😭

Thanks for having me! Congrats to all the winners and pity to me that I didn't win this week even after scoring the highest. I became the guest judge in the worst possible time. The history will remember this day.

Um, can't you do anything about it? 😬

Justice!

Level 73

Dec 21, 2021

@Ethaboo444 and @ChineseChen Something has be done about this. Since I didn't rank my own blog, I feel like this is injustice that I'm not ranked #1. If nothing is done within the next 24 hours, the Quadruple Alliance will have to attack Sawiwi and its people will have to face dire consequences.

~~ok guinea pig boi~~

I told Chen it was fine that you could be in the top 5, and he said no with no reasoning lol I honestly have no idea why I agreed to it, but we aren't going to say no to community suggestions and criticism. This is the first time we have had a guest judge who also posted a blog the same week, so with this new guest judge feature comes with a lot of tweaks we need to make the make the Blog Games more fun for everyone involved. The main reason we made the guest judging is for more community activity, and some possible blogs in the future that I am making (with possibly ChineseChen) unrelated to the BG can also have the possible same effect.

Sorry in advance, I just have to discuss the issue to Chen when he wakes up lol. See what he wants to do. (~~Probably do nothing at all lol~~)

Level 73

Dec 21, 2021

~~Why guinea pig? 😡~~

Then I'm afraid I have no other option other than to throw a pitcher plant on you and Chen. This is annoying. Working on a blog so hard and getting an honorable and also scoring the highest is like scoring the best in a class and the teacher deducting marks so that their "pet" can get first. Obviously, not directed towards any of the winners. I am just giving an example of how I am feeling right now.

I should have refused being a guest judge straight away because I care more about winning rather than deciding the winner!

😡🗯️😤🌋

Level 43

Dec 22, 2021

I think Aficionado is now exaggerating ;-; Is the same thing that happen with cooldown. But idk if influence in your points.

Level 73

Dec 22, 2021

But I wasn't on cooldown! I deserve to win. Make me #1 now or else Sawiwi and Chen will face a nuclear weapon unleashed by none other than the great Aficionado!

If this is not possible, make a new award:

Pitiful Judge Award for unlucky guest judges like me, worth ((200÷100)×550)÷220 points.

Level 58

Dec 22, 2021

last time we faced nuclear weapons we blew up their entire 17000 nuke arsenal and made their island they resided on into a nuclear wasteland. But we are working on fixing it currently rn lol

btw the answer to your totally difficult math problem is 5.

Level 67

Dec 22, 2021

And we possibly wiped out half of the populations of Africa and South America too

Level 43

Dec 22, 2021

TRETA! TRETA! TRETA! TRETA!

Content not recommended for children under 18 🔞

Ok, you three are exaggerating. 😐😐

Level 73

Dec 22, 2021

@Ethaboo: Congrats! Since you solved it, I get it, right? Well, Chen has already told me to wait. Let's see.

@ChineseChen: How can you do that? Those lands are under the control of the empire of Minas Gerais, ruled by our one and only MG the Great.

Level 58

Dec 22, 2021

our country has duplicated into 2 universes, and I promise the one we blew up wasn't yours. :)

Level 43

Dec 22, 2021

WHAT!? 💥🔫

Level 58

Dec 22, 2021

but i will not hesitate to blow up yours as well. :)

Level 66

Dec 22, 2021

And so has mine :)

Level 43

Dec 22, 2021

Yes. It’s time to boycott BG, Quads.

Level 65

Dec 21, 2021

Nice!

Level 65

Dec 21, 2021

~~also why my blog no get best story since it was the only story?~~

Jk, i don’t think there’s been enough stories this season to give out that award.

Level 58

Dec 21, 2021

We cancelled the Best Story award in Week 9 I think last season as it was really unfair to people who didn't make stories at all, and as stories were not coming into the RUB as often, it was really easy to gain points on the leaderboard.

(Not meaning that the BG is now competitive, still just for fun :) )

Level 65

Dec 22, 2021

Exactly

Level 79

Dec 22, 2021

Thanks for the mention once again. Just to reply to one of the comments. The blogs are the same in this series for a reason. It's a series! They look the same by design. My next series will probably be different but each one in the series will be similar. That's the way I do things. Sorry.

Level 65

Dec 23, 2021

I agree. With a series, the formatting doesn’t need to change, and neither does the topic.

Level 73

Dec 23, 2021

Thank you Ethaboo and Chen. I apologise if I had said anything rude. I meant no offence. I have always been a bit stubborn and um.. dissatisfied. I promise not to cause a fuss if such a thing happens again. Thanks again guys! No bad feelings, eh? :)

Just one last trouble: the chart

Level 43

Dec 24, 2021

We’ll never surrender to Aficionado! Rank 2, NOW!

*cof*

Level 43

Dec 28, 2021

WHERE ARE YOU ALL!?!?

Level 67

Dec 28, 2021

No episode this week. Next week will release a holiday special including all blogs from the previous two weeks.

Level 43

Dec 28, 2021

Ok... 😐

I did a blog that made the cut last week. On this week, I made a new one. As there won’t be Blog Games this week, I can do a new blog (being the third), without enter in cooldown?

Level 67

Dec 28, 2021

Yes, we may possibly include the 10 best blogs and extend the limit to two blogs per series per user.

Level 66

Jan 1, 2022

And 4 blogs per user in total?

Level 65

Jan 3, 2022

Will there be BG tomorrow?

Level 58

Jan 3, 2022

Hopefully lol if I don't procrastinate lol
