Sorry, but I don't see why we have to link to threads at other sites. Please start a discussion on Wu Shu here if you'd like. Thanks.

I suppose.

Thats a little too much to hope for right now.

I do.

Cool. Its coming up.

I could write a book.

Oh and - no INTERNET or any other aids. You must guess on them using your own knowledge. And, the deadline will be Thursday night at 10:00 PM CST. _________________ Patrick O'Keefe KarateForums.com - Administrator/Grandmaster RIP - Left Eye [ This Message was edited by: Patrick on 2002-05-06 21:21 ]

Sorry for the delay guys. I took the SAT... got sick... and just got really busy all of a sudden. I promise there will be a new challenge posted tonight.

Here is who is it the game at this point: Karateka ZR440 KSN Doug kicker jamesdasher SaiFightsMS YODA I plan to post a challenge Sunday night. Have an SAT tomorrow among other things. Thanks. _________________ Patrick O'Keefe KarateForums.com - Administrator/Grandmaster RIP - Left Eye [ This Message was edited by: Patrick on 2002-05-04 18:03 ]

Why do we need to link to a thread on another site? Start one here if you want. Thanks. Gonna close this.

Turning into a spam thread. Gonna close this. Thanks.

And at think at this point, it is time to break up the teams and turn this into individual challenges. When we get to a 2 man team, it really is time, in my opinion. So that is what we will do. So, I am going to close this thread and I will be opening one for the Individual Challenges this evening. Congratulations to the Mag Six as they were the most successful team in the team challenges. Winning all but one.

Here are the votes: VOTE 1: ramcalgary "He knew this would happen, but, I understand why he couldn't play. " VOTE 2: Karateka "Well if it is time to vote someone on survivor off I choose Karateka. Maybe he is the next biggest surviving threat." VOTE 3: ramcalgary "I vote of ramcalgary coz he DNP so i guess i gotta vote you off." VOTE 4: ramcalgary "My vote is for ramcalgary. Didn't participate, but understandable considering the circumstances." Remember, anyone in Survivor can vote. Should worry less about giving me grief via PM and more about voting. ramcalgary is now out of Survivor. That makes the teams: The Shark Tribe: Karateka ZR440 The Magnificent Six Tribe: KSN Doug kicker jamesdasher SaiFightsMS YODA

At the link I posted, we have links to Amazon.com, Karate Depot, Century and MartialArtsBooks.com. So if you are planning to buy from one of them, please just take a second to use our links and help support the site. Thanks.

We already have a couple of threads like this, so I am gonna close this one. Really if you want to find another martial arts forum, why ask here?

Was wondering where you had been. Good luck with your stuff.

Sorry, went ahead and added the answers to the above post.

http://www.karateforums.com/support.php has some.

And so, Mag Six wins the Immunity. EVERYONE (even people that didn't participate in the challenge) - it is time to vote! Please PM me with your Vote and DO NOT POST IT HERE. Remember - you cannot vote for a member of the Mag Six. Aprox. Deadline for Votes: Thursday, 10 PM CST.

But, the deficit between the two teams is so far that it wouldn't make a difference in the result of the challenge. _________________ Patrick O'Keefe KarateForums.com - Administrator/Grandmaster RIP - Left Eye [ This Message was edited by: Patrick on 2002-04-29 21:10 ]

Oh, and the results will be posted tonight.
