As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.

2

The greatest mentor in SwampThing history.

If height is all that matters, of course. And hot air.

3

FIRSTers! I have come down from the mountain top and bringeth to you the words from the Almighty Kamen, “Be gracious towards your fellow competitors and wear all jean clothing!” Can I get an amen?

179 members: Amen!

4

For Inspiration And Recognition of Big Tall Bendy Things

5

I’m glad I wasn’t around when this thing rose from The Swamp. Phew. It still smells.

6

“I AM THE MASTER COMMANDER”

7

They tell us not to bow down before graven images.
However, there’s no mention of inflatable ones.

8

Wow, there’s actually flowers at that place? Between drought and storms, I’ve never seen anything like that. Maybe the giant Swamp Thing was channeling a benevolent spirit.

9

“Kneel before my power.”
Praying

10

Rules on defense robots were very unregulated back in the day.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man
Hi I’m Al Harrington President and CEO of Al Harringon’s Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man Emporium and Warehouse.
Thanks to a shipping error, I am now currently overstocked on Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man and I am passing the savings on to yoouuu!!!

12

Game hints back in the day required a bit more effort to understand.

13

[NPOE] This should win.

14

All bow to the mighty green man!
(um, this guy is red)
Meh! Fiddly bits. Just get on your knees!

[NPOE]Flail. I like that word.

Anyway: 500 is a milestone*, but 520 is ten years. That is a significant fraction of anyone’s life…[/NPOE]

*or is it millstone?

15

Here we see the inspiration for teams playing goalie in Aerial Assist.
