Competition of the Week – taking suggestions!

@SidMenon can you believe it, @Zee won’t give me my second KotM badge. I want to serve my second and final term :p

@Sophie practice makes perfect. But there are caveats! I could write a whole post raving about how I was conned by that phrase alone!

You should have seen my first post draft then. It took a lot more work than yours to ‘get right’ @diya. Don’t fret, it’ll come naturally as you write more 🙂

minemine !

I’m strangely, irrationally satiated by winning this.

@Reena don’t forget to come here and ask us questions!
And read my blog posts.

I’m IN IT TO WIN IT!

Hi @tuk2jay, it’s only on Sunday’s at your local time. Refer to the first post of this thread for rules

Hi @Sophie, I’m sorry I guess it’s just the newbie’s excitement.

i think this must be good.

me pls!

having it this time!

Yeah! Where’s everyone?! For once, I’m here!

I agree with @Diya. Let’s just put it to a vote, whoever gets the highest vote, gets the badge 😛

Haha yeah. In the last 3 weeks leading up to the exam, only @Sophie will get it 😛

@diya – then there’s only one answer to that.

Why must I be denied of my awesomeness?! Where is meritocracy?! :))

THAT LOOKS SO DELICIOUS! =P~

Will this work @zee?

@vijay, don’t give up. We have changed the exam format slightly so hopefully you can participate this week!

Oh sure, I understand. I’d love that badge @Sophie. Will keep enough coffee in my kitchen to keep me awake. 🙂

Good enough a time for me! 🙂

@Reena that is what we are aiming for.

@Zee I have a sneaking suspicion that your system just doesn’t like me. I also didn’t get my 500 comment badge. :((

But you don’t have 500 comments (yet)…

ohh…are posts and comments counted differently?

@Diya I’m happy @Zee isn’t giving you another KotM badge. 😛 You have way too many badges and a hell load of points!

Calm down woman!

How I wish CFAI starts something like this. If you post a comment at specific hour, you will be granted Level 1 certification. Sounds cool. 😀

@Sophie in that case I’ll spare you that particular rant.
Oh @Sophie that might be simply because I have lots of writing practice.
I must shamefully admit that I used to have a diary.
And I blogged extensively when I was in high school.

(warms up mouseclick finger)

@Zee can I gave away my second badge that the system won’t give me anyways O.o

@Zee can you still see the original comment if I am editing it?

And there is 1 way to report @Diya to the CFAI for bribery. Atleast then we won’t have anyone eating up all the points and the badges here 😛

I may have screenshot-proofs of “implied” behaviour. B-)

Mine…

bump. Man I gotta run soon – I might miss it.

Alrightey…

I expected @sidmenon to be here for some reason.

@TacheMan same…

Bring it to me…

GAHGAHGAH.

@TacheMan @Diya I expected me to be here too 😐

Was it a good match @Sidmenon? who do you support?

It was a good match, indeed @Sophie. I don’t really support anyone, but for this match i was rooting for Arsenal since i don’t like Man U much 😛 They played really well today!

Yea EPL is good, but I prefer world cup football somehow. I follow country team members much better, as they keep switching around teams every season and I get confused since I don’t follow it all the time!

@jimmyg did! Where were you @vijay? <:-P

Congrats @Jimmyg. Well done mate.
@Sophie, I did a practice exam on Sunday. By evening I was all exhausted and crashed without my knowledge. I will win it this week. It will be right on time after my review completion. 🙂

@Vijay game on for sunday then! @Reena missed it by minutes as well as she was reading an article while waiting for the time. And completely missed it LOL

🙂

Hello @shefali, welcome to the 300hours community! I guess we will be seeing you this sunday then, good luck!

Sorry @singhanand98, I’m afraid that’s not something we do here in the community nor encourage as it’s illegal. If tomorrow doesn’t work out, there’s still 3 more weeks! It’s every Sunday until the exam 🙂

@padniaki if level 3 candidates audience probably isn’t large enough to support Elan’s venture into Level 3. It also doesn’t help (Elan) that Schweser had such a huge head start.

Hi @Diya! Yes, all going so far so good. Trying first timed paper today, but thought I’d have a break for this before the 2nd half :))

This is a test.

It is quieter than last time…

It’s mine, back off!

Last minute…..

Considering there’s no guide for L3, who is the effective winner (last post from someone at L1 or L2)? Would that be @Maroon5?

Thanks @padniaki, that super kind of you! Much appreciated man

I will love to have this.

The Day comes once again.

You have the badge and the elan guide @Diya. I think it’s okay for you to miss it 😛 I just want the badggeee!!!

Aha! I’ve finally reached the destination at the right time!

Where are the people!!!!

@diya – you made it!

@Sophie Haha Thanks! slowly building up the arsenal 😉

@Zee I think that all the studying we are all doing is sapping us of our creative juices.

Let’s reward the member with the maximum correct answered responses to the questions asked on the forum…rightly promotes the purpose of the forum and rewards the best helper simultaneously clearing our concepts….woow..that sounds kind of perfect!!!

@Sophie I hate to break it to you but the system only allows one KoTM badge…

I shall attempt to dangle this in front of @zee and see if it works (too bad they don’t have ’em here in UK). My research tells me it works

I suppose we could talk about something here? Maybe…the best use of a study guide?
Really I want to discuss the Artemis Fowl series. I know I should be studying but I re-read the first 6 books in two weeks. If only the CFAI material was half as well written.

Thanks @Sophie.

•Hong Kong / Singapore: Monday 2:00AM? Not fair for the guys in this part of the world. 🙂 I need to be in office by 8AM Monday. How can I do away with 4 hours of sleep? I wont give up though.

Ooh this sounds fun. Now I finally have a chance at this. Brings back the fun on Sundays :))

@diya, it already is!

@diya, like CFA, practice makes perfect. And it’s already a strong first post 😉

Aha. Game on, then.

@Zee but I wanted to give it to you :p
One time deal, aye?

Me? Bribe? Nonsense.
Maybe a Diya beware button?
My intentions are sincere
Alas I am not above flattery =))

@SidMenon you have no proof!

I wish i had an idea of what i was doing, i’m just generating retorts to @Diya’s randomness? :-” “

I’m just afraid I’m going to have a lapse of attention and totally miss it…

I’ll just stay here until it’s over.

Whose watch are we following?

@jimmyg @Zee told me to behave.

“You’ve managed the top points position for one whole week. Now the question is – can you hold on?”

There is nothing wrong with it per se @Zee. I just thought it would be funny if it was about quick and/or well-timed fingers instead of points.

That and it presented me with a perfect opportunity to use “methinks”

What happened here? Who won it?

Hi @miki, it’s a competition held on Sunday at your local time. So make sure you’re here to comment then to have a chance to win this 🙂

Hey sophie.. just kidding ya …. Lets fight this out…
I know this is stupid… But i can’t tag you… How do to tag people ‘ere … #newkid 😛

@sophie I am loving this already … 🙂

Bring it on!

@diya – I know what you mean! I think it’s the stress really, just something to take your mind off things and clearly eating is easier than exercising!

On another note @zee @christine @sophie – I want some freebies!

@Reena I have started exercising again! I want to be ready for summer when I am done with this exam :p

me!!!!!

And the winner is the comment above mine…

hahaha, wow that was lucky

Nice one @padniaki, congrats!!

And congratulations @padniaki, what timing! :-bd

Wow @zee, what were you shooting?

No worries @tuk2jay. See you this Sunday 🙂

hello

my turn this time hopefully!

May I please have the free Elan guide 🙂

@Reena Lol, I feel bad now as I only joined yesterday. Let’s call it beginner’s luck! 🙂

@sankrutimehta then the badge goes to @Sophie

@SidMenon agreed, I used to always be top three on the leaderboard now I don’t even appear…

Great idea @sankrutimehta – I want multiple KoTM badges! :))

I’d like a 11th hour guide 🙂

We do realise that we couldn’t please all the time zones in the world @vijay! But having a “king of the mountain” badge, and the 11th hour guide….

That will be wonderful @Zee.

Oh yay! I can finally try to get that badge! 😀

ic

I just got my 5 Likes badge, and Diya has a 100 Likes badge….

Elan doesn’t do Level 3, right? I could go for it just for the badge….

@SidMenon I’ll drag you down and beat you with experience.

@Zee trash talking? Venting stress? I’m just spoofing quotes I’ve memorized. I’m practicing my recall, no idea what @SidMenon is doing…but he is being a good sport so I like him.

We’ll settle this once and for all on Sunday :))

let the hunger games begin!

back on top!

Things are heating up!

@Zee isn’t it possible for there to be multiple posts to have the same timestamp?

mine!

hello!

I kind of felt that @zee and @diya held back though… 😀

King of the fingers!

:(( :(( :(( :((

Just pure luck… 🙂

@lulu123 completely missed it too, despite being here at the start. haha.

I too want an ELAN 11th HOUR GUIDE . L-)

hey…could someone post the local times again..I believe all the times have changed

@sankrutimehta, the times are as follows (as per 1st post of this thread):

The contest rule is simple: at Sunday, 5pm London time, the last comment on this thread to be timestamped exactly 5:00pm will win an Elan 11th Hour Guide.

In other timezones:
PST: Sunday 9:00AM
New York / Toronto: Sunday 12:00PM
Central Europe: Sunday 6:00PM
Mumbai: Sunday 9:30PM
Hong Kong / Singapore: Monday 12:00AM

Oh I’m definitely in it this week. You’re all going down!

@padniaki Elan doesn’t have a study guide for level three. Just so you know.

OK… got that @sophie … It’s not instant… stupid me 😛

LOL welcome to the forum @singhanand98! You learn fast 🙂 Check out the categories on the left hand side, there’s quite a lot of accumulated wisdom here so far.

@Sophie I was born ready B-)

Not cocky, just confident with keyboard skills!

@Reena and @Maroon5 how is revision treating you?

@Reena it gets easier as we approach June 1st
Studying is going fine mostly except I am always hungry O.O (I’ve had breakfast and lunch and it isn’t even noon yet…)
@Maroon5 glad to hear that!

me! I wanna win this 🙂

Hey guys..all here?

One more!

Hello its mine!

I wanna win this for personal competitive reasons, you can give the guide to someone else. 😀

I sound like the sea gulls of Nemo

Why am I always asleep when i am supposed to be doing something important :((
congrats @padniaki

I feel you man. I don’t know why, but i just can’t seem to check my phone even for the reminders i put :/ Next week it is then! This should be held on a weekday, weekends are too activity-filled 😛

@Zee That picture reminds me of those bird shooter games when i was a kid 😛

@Zee Yes, this one!! 😀

Just getting a post in. Free stuff’s always good!

i need this badly, as not prepared yet for exam.

awesome boost for the exam – last minute!

@SidMenon studying I suppose

Nice one @jon! So now you’ve built up your bazooka for Dec 😉

@diya Give me ze badge please 😀

Putting an early bid in…

trolly hahahaha

coherent English? that will be interesting!

Yep I’d like a miscellaneous thread. And I’m back in the running.

@Zee Sweet. Then we can hold a conference about it. I still chuckle whenever I think of “simple-toon”. I still have to read the last two. I am having a hard time dealing with Orian.

Does the winner also get a KotM badge? 😛

@Sophie I don’t really like my writing style. In my opinion it is too dry.

Now that @Diya has decided to rest, I can haz all your badges B-)

Don’t worry @tim, you’ll get there soon enough!

Btw @Zee, does the leader of the week get the KotM badge too?

Who said anything about cheating? It’s called cheating only if you get caught. >:/

@SidMenon I’m not good at thinking linearly
and thanks :p

Can’t wait for sunday! Need to snag a KoTM badge! [-O<

Come on guys! I want the book AND badge 😀

Just checking in…. 😀

Mine. Any extra points for creativity of post?

so the winner is @jimmyg

I won, right?

;LKFJA;LSKDJFA;LKDS;V;sda;lkfj damn it goes over so fast!

WOOHOO!!!

Fast fingers!

@jimmyg wouldn’t it be slow fingers?

I was literally stuck on thinking of what to write, then started panicking.

@diya, of course i will 🙂 I have been around daily, just a little quiet perhaps!

Methinks you may want to change the description for the King of the Mountain badge.
@Zee

@Sophie I too, love international football more, for the same reasons! Euro Cup and World Cup keep me satisfied enough 😀

I need it

Whoever wins it, please do a bit of social service. Please mail it to everyone. 😀

I’m game, and hopefully wont be distracted this time, unlike last week!

Just about surviving @Diya. Hope yours is going well too? Just sticking to the practice-till-the-end plan 🙂 1 more month to freedom!

what’s happening people!

2 minutes people…

And so I’m gonna win this by trying to aim for the exact second to click this msg through and see how awesomely accurate I am at time management… :))

I’m here and hungry!

The admin will have to sort this out. I’m going to indulge in some ice cream. Happy studying everyone.

As @sophie always says:

Well @Zee, if I hadn’t participated it would have been @Maroon5, so I declare him the winner!

Why am I always asleep when i am supposed to be doing something important :((
congrats @padniaki

LOL @jk179, the competition is on Sunday, check the first post for your local time 🙂

@SidMenon I think since the contest started it might be the first time I’ll have to miss it >.<

This should be fun!

Ah, hmm. I just finished watching Star Trek! What a movie. Where’s @Zee to declare the winner?

@Sophie take it up with @Zee
I cried and pouted to no avail.
It is a tragic story.

It is a shame I am not in London. I would make “this” my full time job.

@SidMenon
*meditates*
Alright, alright no more talk about badges :p
I should dedicate more time to my blog and make it equally awesome :p

If you can cheat, so can I. I won’t let you beat me unfairly – I’ll beat you unfairly first.
;))

I’m in it to make it interesting.

The timer on the side.

@Zee nice twist in the rules…
LOL

running out of things to say lol

I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS AS I WAS SURFING READING AN ARTICLE :(( That ought to teach me something about time management!

Ah well. 🙁

Yup indeed. Until next week!

@Nice one jimmyg! Good addition for revision season 🙂

Aww man! I missed it too! Despite putting a reminder on my phone :/

Was watching the Arsenal vs Man U match. Maaaannnnn. L-)

Hello! I also want an Elan 11th hour guide. Thanks..

LOL @singhanand98 – then fight for it! We’ll see you here tomorrow then, please check above for the relevant local time 🙂

@padniaki Elan doesn’t have a study guide for level three. Just so you know.

Wow, no mocks, no eleventh hour review guide…Elan just doesn’t care about us L3 folk, do they?
:-S

Well, in a way Level 3 is more ‘subjective’ with less calculation @padniaki. It’s harder to come up with a Level 3 11th hour for that. Try our level 3 Topic picks, I think you’ll find quite a few useful stuff there 🙂 I wrote some IPS guides as well so our dear Level 3’s are not left out!

I have no idea where all this cockiness is coming from. I blame exam stress.

MAAAAN. And I commented 3 times too.

dammit I was off by a second. So the winner is @padniaki

argh. lol

@SidMenon third times a charm

Was it on time? Was it?

Also, @Zee, I was about to say the same, let’s change the contest. Will try thinking of something.

@Jon NOOOOOOOoooOOoooOoo! :)) I’m terrible at this game – 3 weeks in a row! :((
