Ok, so we have a tie. I thought the easiest thing to do was to get rid of the definitions (B) that weren't part of the tie and say you can vote again from the new pool of definitions.
The reason I have tagged all three of you is so that no-one knows whose is whose. If you have definitions here you cannot vote because you would have to vote for the other person every time. Which would just be annoying.
Same rules apply as last time, unless specified differently.
Voting closes on 25th June 11:59pm GMT.
Reminder of definitions you can vote for:
1) mushfaker (mush-fay-kurr) A ) mashed mystery ingredient that is supposed to look like a corn to decieve corn lovers
C ) An old term used to describe latrine workers
2) nipperkin (plum-purr-kin) A ) napkin, but much nippier version
C ) A fairy-elf-sprite mentioned in old Celtic fables known for pestering children while they slept
3) philocubist (fill-o-kyoo-bist) A ) a person who contemplates about the purpose of existence of the cubes
C ) An artist that specializes in the style of cubism made with pastry
4) thorp (thorp) A ) an abbreviation of the word torpedo
C ) The title for the overseer of old medieval villages in old Bavaria (The Grand Thorp of Bavaria)
5) fugacious (few-gai-shuss)
A ) an adjective used to describe musical works of Johann Sebastian Bach
C ) A descriptive word used to describe a Bach fugue ("That piece is so fugacious.")

And I cannot think of any other competitions so this tiebreaker is simply...
Mash Up!
You have 4 flags to identify and 4 famous landmarks.
Same rules apply as they did in the last competitions of these, so for the flags I want flag, country and currency and landmarks I want name, country and continent. Reminders of rules: Flags and Landmarks
Miscellaneous rules:
I am trusting you to not look up answers.
Spellings will be taken into account in the event of a tie, so no spell check please.
Deadline is 8th July 2016 11:59pm GMT
You need to give the answers for the ones in the picture below.
The numbers of the pictures are to the left of them.
You must pm your answers.
(Some of the images are a bit pixelated so sorry about that. But I think you can still tell what they are! )

You have about 2 days left to compete in this competition. If one of you forgets and then doesn't send it to me before 24 hours after the deadline (or thereabouts) then I will not extend the deadline further because this is a tie-breaker. Thank you

I love sims... This is the inside of my Bachelorette house. I have literally booted up this house for a little bit for the first time just to see what happens... And we're not even 5 minutes into the competition, my time, an 1, sims time, and one the contestants is already shirtless staring at Amara's backside...
So leaving us this week is @Meggles . Sorry, but I didn't get your entry. If you have sent it and I haven't seen it, I'm willing to recount.
Congratulations @Marialein and @Maladi777 .
And commiserations @Meggles . Although it is safe to say Romeo brought a whole ton of drama in the time he was at the Bachelorette.
The final challenge will be up soon.

@Spottydog714 just in case you want to make a challenge this week I am in Bulgaria on holiday and I don't know if I would have time for it.
Is it just 1 week? In any case, it might be up later today. In fact, since I'm not at church, it WILL be up later today. But if you can't I can just make the deadline longer, since you told me you won't be able to do it.

First off let me congratulate you for getting this far! I am super excited to see how your characters' relationship develops with Amara!
Dingbats
Now, I don't what you call them in US and Austria, but in Britain, they are called Dingbats.
How to compete:
The aim is to deduce simlit titles from the sequence of images below.
You have to 'say what you see' on most, but some require a bit of thought outside the box.
The pictures are words or parts of words that form the title and words of simlit.
The colour red tells you extra information, ie the arrow tells you what part of the picture you need to look at, and the letters with red crossings out through them show you which letters to take off the word or syllable the picture represents.
It's a bit like the show 'Catchphrase' if you have ever seen it.
Example:
Here is the dingbat:
The answer is 'A Home 4 Small Ones.'
Here's how you work it out:
The letter A is shown first, so the title starts with 'A...'
Then I see a house, so I think... Hmm... I don't know a title with 'house' in it but I do know a story with the word 'home' in its title. So now I have, 'A Home...'
Then it says 4, so you have to work out whether the story has the number or word in it. I know a story with the number '4' in it, but not a story with the word 'four' in it. Now I have 'A Home 4...'
Then I see 2 stick people with the arrow pointing to the smaller one. I then think, this is the smaller one so the word must be 'small,' because, again, I know a story with the word 'Small' in it. Now I have 'A Home 4 Small...'
If I haven't worked out the title already by what I know comes next, I look at the many 1s. Since there is more than one 1, I use the plural 'Ones.'
I am at the end of my dingbat so my answer is: A Home 4 Small Ones.
Sorry if you knew how to do it without the walk-through, I am unsure as to whether dingbats are just a British thing or not.
Rules:
I would like the name of the story, and then from that you should know who it's written by and whether it is ion hitus, discontinued, completed or in progress.
You must pm me you answers.
The deadline is 24th of July, 11:59 GMT
Each dingbat is lettered so you can tell the difference.
If you do not get round to it I will not extend the deadline unless you have a good reason because this is the final.
Please submit your answers in this format: *Letter of dingbat* *bracket* *Name of story* *space* *Author* *space* * Completed/Discontinued/On Hitus/In Progress*
Ie: Z) A Home For Small Ones Spottydog714 Discontinued
Grammar and spellings will be taken into account if there is a tie. So no correcting red squiggly lines please!
2 bonus points if, after all the answers, you can tell me what links all the stories.
You read the dingbats left to right, then you go to the far left picture on the line below.
Some dingbats that aren't clear are numbered so you follow that picture sequence.
If you cannot tell what a picture is, ask me and I might be able to tell you or at least give you a hint, as you pm me your question.
If tit is them same picture, it is probably the same word/syllable
Universal clues: The brown-skinned girl in the red dress is a princess and the dancers are dancing the Cha Cha Cha
