Another day another pizza giveaway! Only this time, it was a little different. Bunchkins still had to message KC at 7:30pm EST and like yesterday, a bonus prize would be awarded to the person or persons who successfully guessed the identity of fake KC.
So what’s different you ask?
Well children, gather around and let me tell you a story!
You see, this time I got to be the play the role of fake KC!! The following is an account of the day from fake KC’s point of view! (Warning, there is a little bit of geek-speak so you’ll have to excuse me for that)
I was minding my own business today when out of the blue KC IM’d me.
(2:32:25 PM) kc: kc
(2:32:40 PM) kc: wanan be fake kc?.
At first I was quite reluctant. I mean, being fake KC is a huge role! Even the KC Twin can’t pull off KC like the original! So he tells me there’d be no twist today and that there would be no need to play fake KC. Well then, sounds good to me!
BUT THEN, I see him post on BU. “Guess who the fake KC is for a bonus prize!”
Whaaaaat!? I totally got suckered into it! Evil, KC. EVIL!
Little did he know that if he were just a few seconds slower in his announcement, I would have completely blown it. I was just about to announce how happy I was to get the play the role of fake KC for the contest today.
So there you have it. I, was now fake KC. I still had a few hours to prepare but work was piling up so I continued with that until time grew nearer. About an hour or so later, I started to get ready for the big job ahead of me.
My first task was to figure out how to mask my IP address from prying admins. I had it all worked out. My sister had left her laptop here so I would use that to login as myself, and on my own laptop, I would route my traffic to a server out in San Diego. If any of the admins decided to look, they would be none the wiser and be way off course. This was really a “two birds with one stone” solution. Not only would it throw off the admins, it would throw off the other Bunchkins since when have I not been around for the contest? It would be a pretty dead giveaway.
With my plan in mind, it was time to put it into action. But there was a problem. You see, my sister didn’t just leave her laptop for no reason… She left it because it wasn’t working. DAMN. I quickly tinkered with it for a few minutes to see if I could breathe life back into it but alas, it was a no go. Lucky for me, I had backup resources. Having remote access to client servers comes in useful for times like this.
Now to get my traffic re-routed. Being a geek, I have lists of proxy servers at my disposal. Just had to bring one up and set it up. Unfortunately, Murphy was once again against me and my favorite lists were down. It was 7pm EST and time was running out!! Frantic searches brought up a few lists but I had no time to check them out… 15 minutes passed and still no luck. What do you do!? What do you do!? I had to make do with what I had and hope none of the admins would try to cheat be smart.
Logged in a ready to go. I announced the arrival of fake KC with the lamest greeting ever.
YO! YO! Who’s gonna be the weieenner!?
Or at least something along those lines, and yes I purposely mis-spelled wiener. (I recalled KC doing something similar before and figured why not). I was greeted with a nearly silent room of about 6 or 7 people logged in, a few of whom were anons. Things were not looking up. Was I going to get sneak attacked like Angie did yesterday? Or heaven forbid, was there not even going to be a winner today!?
Eventually we had a few more show up but it was still pretty dead. Zero hour was getting near and all eyes were on the clock. Fake KC remained silent and awaited the potential inundation (or lack of) of PM’s.
Milu was the first to message fake KC at nearly 45 seconds too early but she pulled the spray and pray method letting loose 12 messages over the next 60 seconds hoping one would hit it dead on. Jen went for the precision shot and fired off a single message but just missed the mark at 7:30:01pm EST. The winner of day 5 successfully hit the nail on the head at 7:30:00pm EST with a single message which simply said:
PIIIZZZAAA
Piiizzzaaa indeed!
There was no flood of PMs, there were no ties, there weren’t even any more PMs than one could count on a single hand!
Fake KC posted the entries one at a time, starting with the runners up.
milumilu (04:29:59 PM): winner
milumilu (04:30:01 PM): i am
Sorry Yoda, better luck tomorrow.
radjbo (04:30:01 PM): did i win, SON!?
You did not! And I’m not your son!
ake KC held off for a few more seconds before posting the winning entry. Semi-madness erupted with the force of 9 mice as the small group wanted to know who won.
It was time. Who was the winner?!
Who’s cuisine reigns supreme!? er– sorry, wrong show.
samike (04:30:00 PM): PIIIZZZAAA
It was Mike!
Woo hoo!!
Mike was in Maryland visiting his better half for the weekend and right away our whipped friend placed “his” order for a pizza, wings and salad. Sounds of whipping filled the room for the next couple of minutes. As corkie says… *WOOOPAH!*
People had apparently forgotten about part 2 of the contest and I had to prod them along a bit and asked for guesses.
Having to keep up appearances, I guessed Mimi again stating that I had to get it right sooner or later. (I still don’t know how I got it wrong this time…). Like myself, Mandee stuck to her guns and once again insisted that fake KC was the real KC. The other guesses were pretty much all over the place this time other than Corkie who thought it was Mimi as well.
Fake KC remained silent throughout the 30 minute down time and ignored requests to talk. I mean, I didn’t even know what to say. haha.
Milu almost had me though… Bella had received her cam earlier today and decided that this would be the best time to stream. Because of having to play the part of 2 people, I had my hands full and asked for someone to screencap her for me. This is when the gears in Milu’s head started churning and she proposed that fake KC was me. I had to throw her off my trail!!
“But Milu, it can’t be me, I’m logged in at the same time as KC, that’s unpossible!”
“But Milu, my Windows is all screwy, I can’t take screen shots” (I had hoped Bella would see this and back me up but unfortunately, this did not happen. She must have been too busy with her cam to notice. Damn.)
“But Milu…..”
Lucky for me, someone else guessed Lu which caught Milu’s attention and she moved on. *phew!* That was a close one! Had someone else thought along the same lines, I could have been busted! I played along with the others as the guesses kept coming in.
Excellent. Besides Milu, no one had even suspected it was me.
Time was up and the guesses were locked in.
- Ken: Mimi
- Bella: Kimbee
- Mandee: Real KC
- Corkie: Mimi
- Mike: Sing
- Jen: Real KC
- Milu: Nary
- James: Milu
- Haley: Jonas
The real KC showed up for the reveal and everyone got excited. Messages were once again flying through the chat like Hammy on caffeine. All eyes were on the KCs. Who is it!? Oooohhh the suspense! Even I was on the edge of my seat!
krispycreme: KC is KC Twin!!
You could practically hear Milu crying out like Darth Vader at the end of Episode 3, “Noooooooooooo!” She had me all along but in the end, she doubted herself and stuck with her guess of Nary.Sorry Milu, close but no cigar!
My job here was done! I had successfully fooled the Bunchkins! No bonus winner today!!! I was laughing pretty hard and I’m sure my parents wondered what was wrong with their son. But that’s okay, the smell of victory filled the air and it was good.
No pictures to speak of from Mike so far but I’m sure they’ll crop up soon enough!
A reminder to everyone else, tomorrow (Saturday, April 19), is the last day for the great pizza giveaway! If you haven’t won already, this is the one you shouldn’t miss! There will be TWO official winners and knowing KC, a crazy twist and bonus prizes!
Will there be another fake KC? Will Corkie spend her vacation nude!? Will I ever get my ninja and french maids?! Be sure to tune in tomorrow! Same BU-time, same BU-channel!!
) of PMs and it was on! Who won!? Who won!?
and c0rkie decided that James should take it.
