Survivor: Toon Zone - Discussion

[Colin]

Well, here we are, 7 weeks into the game... I figured it's about time to start getting some general feedback from the players. Sooo... all players, feel free to use this thread to give me any feedback about the game, ideas about competitions you'd like to see, ideas for potential prizes in Reward Challenges, etc. You can discuss just about anything game related in this thread (just none of the obvious stuff: blatant voting discussions, asking Colin for the answers to the challenge in advance, etc)

So, let me here what you guys have to say... always looking for ways to improve the game, make it more challenging, more fun, etc :)

[guinaevere]

General feedback, general feedback?

Well, for one, you broke my head. Hope your pleased with yourself and your little contest. http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/guinaevere/smilies/wink_ani.gif

[Kinel Ozoa]

It's been challenging that's for sure. Also though it's been fun, I like the people on the team I'm on, we all try to pull our weight. Prizes I don't carre about really, I saw this I signed up for the fun of it. Bessides I don't have much immagination there. :sweat:

More challenging? You want our opinions on how to make it more challenging? :eek: I got an idea! Why not ask us to all surf the internet for a few hours..yup that's sound challenging! ^_^ All joking asside though, i don't know how to help you there. But maybe you'l find solice in the fact so far you don't really seem to need any?

Edit: And now thatI think about it, right now probably wasn't the best time to get my name changed...

[Mr. Pedro]

Prizes you say? How about some Van Halen tickets?:D

Or perhaps the Beastie Boys? I hear they're touring soon.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

So far the games been great. For a potential challenge Cartoon trivia? this is Toon Zone after all.


hmmm prizes...mod-ship maybe........no?:sweat: I believe you mentioned gift certificates before those would be cool.

[Colin]

Sheesh! I announce "something is coming" and no one starts to panic! I'm hurt... I guess I'm losing my edge... I'll have to come up with some crafty twists....

*puts on thinking cap*

Give us time! We'll panic!! I'm panicing!! *grabs something* Don't tell me I'm not panicing!!! Erm...anyway..soo....what's comin?

[guinaevere]

::full-on panic-mode:: Something's coming? You mean, it's going to get worse?!

aaaiieee!!! Will I have the strength to continue?! ::dramatic pose::


(how was that?)



As I'm ever so observant, I've only just noticed this from the original post...
(just none of the obvious stuff: <SNIP> asking Colin for the answers to the challenge in advanceGeeze, Colin. Any other obscure rules you think we should be aware of? :p

Nah... it's not gonna get worse.... at least not yet... just natural game progression and other fun happy nonsense! :)

As for the other obscure rules.... none at the moment, but I'll definitely try to make some up :D

[TimTwoFace]

Sheesh! I announce "something is coming" and no one starts to panic! I'm hurt... I guess I'm losing my edge... I'll have to come up with some crafty twists....
Hey man, there's nothing we can do now...so I am the self-proclaimed Man Without Fear. Then again, when these hideous challenges are revealed, I'll go running away crying like a height-challenged person of my opposite gender.

(Gotta be PC, right?)

-Tim

[guinaevere]

As for the other obscure rules.... none at the moment, but I'll definitely try to make some up :DHey!! That is NOT what I was asking for!

::looks at irritated remaining Survivor members:: I... This isn't my fault! That wasn't what I meant... I'm going to be lynched now, aren't I?

I am the self-proclaimed Man Without Fear.Well, I'm not. I'm all about picking one's fights wisely. So, um... Look! The Good Year blimp!! ::runs away::

[Kinel Ozoa]

::looks at irritated remaining Survivor members:: I... This isn't my fault! That wasn't what I meant... I'm going to be lynched now, aren't I?
Maybe if he spends his time making obscure rules he won't have as much time for the challenges...unless he makes some rule like "You cannot give the right answers" or something, but I'll stop now lest I give him more ideas.

[Colin]

Just wanted to bring up a point that's kinda been nagging me for a while... the lack of participation in the Tribal Council thread.

...perhaps it wasn't explained fully enough, or even well enough... but I always expected the tribal council thread to be a thread that had constant dialouge. Yes, I'd ask some questions, but those questions are just supposed to be starting points to bigger discussions. I don't just want to hear from one person on a particular subject and move on, I would have liked to see some reaction on other people's responses, too. The Tribal Council threads should often be lively... instead, I often find myself fishing for stuff to discuss because there's only so much I can speculate about going on... or I only get limited answers that don't lead to further discussion on the topic.

Tribal Council is not only supposed to be granting me an insight into the players and the games, but it's also supposed to help you guys and grant you further insight into other players. You guys have always been encouraged to respond to each other. I never said you couldn't, yet there always seems to be a lack of response in the thread.

I dunno... maybe I just expected too much from it...

[TimTwoFace]

I think the only reason people are shying away from the tribal councils right now is because they're worried to say anything that may weaken their position in the game. Everyone's still uneasy as to where they sit, there's no position of power that's been set. Anyone could be the next victim.

I mean, if a position of power is set, the people in the driver's seat can say whatever they want cuz they feel 'safe', while the people worried about their position will say whatever they want, hoping to stir things up and go out in a blaze of glory.

So yeah, I guess we're all playing it safe at the moment. :)

-Tim

[Mr. Pedro]

Tim pretty much hit it right on the head. Nobody wants to say something, only to have it come back and bite them in the ass later.

I don't think that the lack of activity in the tribal councils necessarily means that no one is interested in the game. I think we're all playing carefully. If anything, I think it reflects better on everyone as a whole, if they think before acting.

But hey, if it makes you feel better, I think Tim is a doody-head. :evil:

Ah, but you can still play it safe and spark some kind of conversation over there. I'm not looking for something like "My plan this week is to eliminate this person, so that next week I can eliminate their alliance partner, followed closely by the person who I plan on stabbing in the back..." just something that can feed discussion. You may think it's dangerous to not say too much... it can also be dangerous to not say enough... ;) Remember, especially at this point... your performance is now being judged by the jury... ;)

...oh, and it'd make me feel better if you said Tim was a doody-head in the Tribal Council thread ;)

[guinaevere]

Just wanted to bring up a point that's kinda been nagging me for a while... the lack of participation in the Tribal Council thread.

<SNI> but those questions are just supposed to be starting points to bigger discussions.I don't believe it... someone is actually encouraging me to add commentary? This has never been done in my life. I think... I ...might ...faint. I also think I have found a new appreciation for Colin.

I'm not looking for something like "My plan this week is to eliminate this person, so that next week I can eliminate their alliance partner, followed closely by the person who I plan on stabbing in the back..." Wow. Well, I'm way too scatterbrained to have a plan beyond, "try and win immunity." So... it's not like you could get that sort of response from me, even if I wanted to give it. :sweat:

[TimTwoFace]

YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF DOODY-HEADS, YOU...DOODY-HEADS!

-Tim

[Colin]

Figured I'd move the discussion of Tim's sig over here....

While yes, I do hold the prize... Gwen, you'll be interested in knowing that yes, I am the one holding the prize... but more importantly, I'm the one who's got all your airline tickets home :evil:

[TimTwoFace]

ARGH! I don't wanna get trapped in Brooklyn! I don't even know if you have supermarkets there! :eek:

NOOOOOOOO!

-Tim

PS - Gwen's a big friggin' doody-head. I'd say worse but I don't want to have to end up banning myself from this board. :p

PPS - Hey Colin, in the unlikely case of a tie at tribal council, like a 4-4 split or a 3-3 split, what would happen to break the tie? They kept changing the rules on this one with every Survivor season, it seemed - so I have absolutely NO clue what you're concocting.

The rules for a tie are quite simple actually...

We start out with a trip to the beach where the contestants who both recieved the highest number of votes writes their name in the sand near the waveline

From there, we take a 12 mile run across the island to a tree that is rigged with a pully system

Using twigs that you've picked up along the way, as well as the machete placed along the trail that you've picked up, you work the pully system free to raise your flag

From there, it's on to the lion pit, where you have to walk across a three inch wide beam of wood without falling in

then you have to navigate your kayak through the piranah lagoon...

and make your way back to the beach. If you are the first person back, and your name hasn't been washed away by the ocean, you'll win and not be voted off the island :)

Simple, right?

[HumanoidTyphoon]

Score! I do that every morning.=) Here's hoping for a tie.

[TimTwoFace]

Rad, I also pre-emptively did that. What do I win? :)

-Tim

[Colin]

Rad, I also pre-emptively did that. What do I win? :)

-Tim
Nothing, because you and HT have not tied a TC vote ;)

[TimTwoFace]

Ooooo, good point. You goin' down, HT buddy. Grrrr. :evil:

-Tim

[guinaevere]

Figured I'd move the discussion of Tim's sig over here....oops. Sorry, it seems I missed that. If you're wanting to my move my reply and Tim's brilliant display of intellect to this thread, please do so. I didn't intend to mess up the threads. :sweat:

While yes, I do hold the prize... Gwen, you'll be interested in knowing that yes, I am the one holding the prize... but more importantly, I'm the one who's got all your airline tickets home :evil:I didn't say ANYthing about you, Colin.

You're allowed to say whatever you want, Gwen... after all, I'm just holding the prize, I'm not the one deciding who the winner is :)

[TimTwoFace]

Forget it, I don't care about the damned challenge right now, I'm in too much of a huff cuz that smarmy jackass over there won't admit to her actions and now it's blown out of proportion and everyone's getting involved. I won't stand for this idiocy.

But the sig stays, as proof of the treasonous whore you are.

Contact me via AIM after I get home if you still give a rat's ass about what's going on. That is, if you have the nerve to.

-Tim

[Singin' Stray Cat]

*GASP* :eek: :eek: :eek:


...owwwie! My poor widdle virgin ears!

[Colin]

You'll all be excited to know that I just came up with a brilliant idea for an upcoming challenge! I know you are all gonna love it! (well, all who's around to play it ;))

[TimTwoFace]

Sorry for getting a little hot under the collar there, folks. So for anyone that caught the post I did last night - which probably was overstepping the boundaries of good taste, I'm sorry.

I pulled said message, a chat-session that I figured should be revealed to you all, from the board cuz after I slept on it, it just didn't seem suitable for a game that's on a board designated as being "fun". My apologies to Barto and anyone else that may have seen that, if they were mentioned in said violating post or otherwise.

-Tim

[Jave]

At this point in the game, you guys should sucking up to the juries... :p

[guinaevere]

haHA!! This is true. ::flutters eyelashes at jury:: :D

[Jave]

Well, she got my vote...

You guys should be more concerned with impressing the jury at TRIBAL COUNCIL through your well thought out answers and ability to play devils advocate and talk with your other tribe mates!... *nudge, nudge, wink wink*

[guinaevere]

You guys should be more concerned with impressing the jury at TRIBAL COUNCIL through your well thought out answers
Ah, yes. This is true. Thank you for the advice, Colin.

I um... ::winks at the VERY handsome jury:: ...I had a well thought out answer, but I was just so distracted by the jurors, that I'd completely forgotten it. :sweat:

[Kinel Ozoa]

I figure it's still ok fo rme to posst in here just wanted to say YEASH!!! Asside from colin, Gwen and former Hero it's quiet in that challenge thread!! Not even a cricket chirping...I like Hero's idea of the next one being a role playing game, just seemed everything went quiet when it became everone for themselves.

[guinaevere]

As for the role playing thing, I've been trying to keep this up since some of Colins first questions. Mr TwoFace was getting into the act with me. I dunno, it just seemed to be part of the fun and a natural way to approach the game. ah well...

[Colin]

It really seems like the only opportunity available in the game for Role Play is during Tribal Council... unfortunately (and it's been this way since the beginning); no one has really gotten into it. No matter what questions I ask to the tribe, it's only the one person responding and no reaction to the response... It's rather annoying, really... cause it's not giving me much to work with to ask questions, and it's not giving the jury much information either....

[TimTwoFace]

Cripes, I return to this mess and I all I hear is more bickering. ONE-WAY bickering too, might I add. It seems Gwen has kept it up in my week-long absense at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom - what a bitter old hag she's turning out to be.

You want to ask me a question, Colin? OK, ask me about her or anyone else here, and I'll lay it on the line pure and simple, with small monosyllabic words so SHE has a shot at being able to understand what I'm talking about.

man, i wish i knew what was going on between tim and gwen. gwen is a nice person and i hate seeing her reputation being tampered so

[guinaevere]

I was not - argh!!!!!!!!! Well, I'm bitter NOW.

And if you hadn't noticed, love of my life, I was saying that both YOU and I were the ones who were trying to breath life into some of the Survivor goings-on. I may not be entirely thrilled about what's happened since then :rolleyes: , but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't fun to read your posts when they made some sort of sense.

And don't sweat it, GK. I can deal. As a matter of fact, I find his attempts to insult me kinda humorous. But, thank you for the concern. http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/guinaevere/smilies/smile_green_small.gif

[Colin]

I just thought you'd all like to know that there only remains 3 more competitions until the Jury decides who will be the ultimate survivor!!!


...and for this weeks competition, some advanced words of advice... you better check out those history books

[TimTwoFace]

Check those history books or we will be history, ourselves. Meep...

I'm so dead.

-Tim

[Colin]

*glances at Torches*

Oooh... pretty :)

begins to wonder which one will be snuffed next....

[guinaevere]

What exactly would happen if one of the survivor torches went out accidently?

[Colin]

What exactly would happen if one of the survivor torches went out accidently?
Tribal Council would be cancelled during that week :)

[Kinel Ozoa]

....what would happen if one spontaniously re-lit? *hides lighter*

[Colin]

....what would happen if one spontaniously re-lit? *hides lighter*
The great thing about these torches, once the flame gets extinguished, it's impossible to relight the torches!

[HumanoidTyphoon]

Gwen's been at a wedding guys. Don't know when she'll be back.

[TimTwoFace]

I wonder if she caught the bouquet. :)

She should be back soon, I'd imagine...the wedding was yesterday, right?

-Tim

[Kinel Ozoa]

Who knows? Weddings can be hectic, oh! Happy birthday man! :D

[Jave]

Gwen hasn't logged in in 4 days... I'm starting to get worried...

[Kinel Ozoa]

Gwen hasn't logged in in 4 days... I'm starting to get worried...
Hmmm...got carrried away with a bachlorette party maybe? :anime: Anyone tried sending her an E-mail?

[guinaevere]

Hiya folks! I can't tell you how it touches me that y'all were concerned for me. : blush: But I'm here. All family & friends are currently flying home, wedding is over, and here I am. :D

Tim, to answer your question, I didn't catch the bouquet. There was much trying to get me close up in order to catch it, but I stood my ground, far, far away. :sweat:

[TimTwoFace]

Who knows? Weddings can be hectic, oh! Happy birthday man! :D
Hey, you too, man! I didn't realize I shared my birthday with anyone I knew. :)

-Tim

PS - Aww shucks, it looks like Gwen survived the weekend, after all. And here I had bets that she'd run away with the groom herself. :D

[guinaevere]

-Tim

I was surprised a month or two back when I was reading ebveryone profiles. *gets weird looks from everyone for being nosey* What? I was scopeing out the comaptition! :sweat:

[guinaevere]

I like reading peoples profiles (if they've said something in a post I found interesting). The profiles are there for a reason. I don't think that's odd or unusual.


Now, trying to hunt that person down is an issue. But just reading a little more about them, that's perfectly natural. :anime:

[HumanoidTyphoon]

I often get bored and mess with my profile or roam through random profiles. I once found someone who not meaning to had linked to a porn site.:eek:


Also can't wait for the challenge to get going.

[Kinel Ozoa]

*reads Final Immunity Challenge thread* Erm.....do what now? :confused: You just left em their. You ganna wait till two of them eats the other? Colin! Your madness knows no bounds! :eek:

[guinaevere]

LOL!!! Actually, we're waiting on SSC to finish addressing all the Survivor members.


But you're right about one thing. Colin's madness knows no bounds. :D

And I have just one thing to say to you, Mr ____ (colin with no last name). Don't call me "honey" again. I think no one noticed it, but be careful. I don't want them to know our secret. :pWell I did think it was odd that you both left last weekend. You for a wedding.:eek:

Well I did think it was odd that you both left last weekend. You for a wedding.:eek:
:giggles: While my official comment to that is, "no comment," after seeing your pic in the family album, I can tell you Vash, Colin means nothing to me. :D ;)

I noticed! I knew it! :evil: You DID go on that date! Bwa ha haaaaaa! HA ha ha!!! ....Meh..*snacks on jury food*That's right. And I proved my theory about bar fighting. Poor Colin can't walk upright now.

[Kinel Ozoa]

Oh, just thought I'd say, what you 3 said in the final activity. Eloquent buddies. I'm touched! :)

[TimTwoFace]

Eloquent buddies? No way, those two ladies are going DOWN!

DOWN I SAY! DOWN!

I hope?

-Tim

[Jave]

Colin walks to the contestants, pulls out his mask, revealing he really is...


"Hi, I'm Jamie Kennedy, and you've all been X-ed"

[Kinel Ozoa]

At this point the 3 of em might be releived to hear that..:D

Oh, thanks for the Avitar Tim!

[The Falcon]

Only if you a) make it yourself or b) convince Tim to make it for ya ;)nah. too much effort to make one of my own and i'm sure tim is busy with his own stuff, like getting off that island with gwen and ssc. i'll stick with the shadow-like ganondorf, pokekid, paper mario, charizard, red x, and whatever else i can think of tomorrow :D

GK

[TimTwoFace]

Well, I did just make an avatar right now...it's specifically for Gerudo King, but anyone that has left the game before being a juror can use it. It's not really that complimentary, though...I dunno if you want it if you're feeling sore or anything. :)

E-mail me if you want it, buddy.

PS - I'm flattered you put my blurb in your sig. The pun just worked out so perfectly. ;)

Wait just a second!!! You can be easily bribed?! um... I don't know if I should report this, or give you the numbers to my bank account. :D

[The Falcon]

ok. colin? you best explain how gwen won immunity in that last one. is it because she translated that last note somehow? because she answered the questions in a survey-like fashion? huh? i'd hate it if we wen through this whole game and it turned out you were playing the favoritism card ;)

GK

[Kinel Ozoa]

I must agree with GK, how did Gwen clench what is it now...her 5TH immunity in a row?

[guinaevere]

I'm guessing it was because I PMed him with the correct translation of the challenge. But I could be wrong.

[Colin]

GK
Well, you see... I Was gonna play the favoritism card... but then you dropped outta the game... so that plan went out the window ;)

[HumanoidTyphoon]

This challenge has made me rethink(and after council probably even more) my vote I wasn't finalized but I was leaning. As of now though I want to vote for Colin because he included the Swedish Chef in the final challenge.=D

[TimTwoFace]

All I gotta say is that I'm thoroughly pissed that I didn't win this one because, aside from the Dutch phrase (the top one), I got every single phrase, word for word. I needed that one to save my ass.

Stupid-lack-of-quality-Dutch-to-English-translators on the internet...

PS - Hey Gerudo, get the avatar I sent ya?

[The Falcon]

GK

[TimTwoFace]

Well, you didn't "win", so in that regard, it's technically correct. :)

Hey, all of us but one can legitimately wear that avatar with pride some time once this competition is over.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

If the jury is needed after Gwens decision that gives her to late Sunday afternoon cause I'll probably be gone til then.

If the jury is needed after Gwens decision that gives her to late Sunday afternoon cause I'll probably be gone til then.ugh... Sorry folks. Minor trouble with this storm named Ivan. You might have heard something about it. :sweat:

Good thing I had a snorkle and my swim floaties around.

But I'm back. And will be voting in 5... 4... 3... 2...

[Colin]

The jury phase WILL Begin tomorrow, where both Tim & Gwen will address the jury members each for the first time since they were voted off the island.

[TimTwoFace]

BRING IT.

Cause I was at work! =P

[Kinel Ozoa]

I had a feeling the Tim vs. Gwen stuff was more our bennifit than anything else..but then again I didn't know either of you that well so I couldn't tell. As gwen said, you did quite well Tim! What made me doubt less that it was a hoax was the harshness you were putting into it...like calling her a whore and stuff...:sweat: I probably wouldn't have added much to any fight anyways, I'm just to nice to arugh with such nice people!

I was going to keep this fairly private, but then I thought, why? So just an FYI.

This friday (sept 24) is Yom Kippur, and I won't be online at all. Technically, it goes from sundown to sundown, but I have my own ways of doing things. :sweat:

Dang you Gwen, your whole belief system is going to throw this game out of whack!

Well, I would not have mind the boating if you didn't bring along all that food! They are supposed to be starving and wasting away to nothing out there! ;)

[HumanoidTyphoon]

Gwen did you ever tell us what you got with your previous winnings?


*cough* you should have said bribe *cough*

[The Falcon]

Well, I would not have mind the boating if you didn't bring along all that food! They are supposed to be starving and wasting away to nothing out there! ;)i brought the food to dampen their spirits. like the jelly beans for instance. i never shared them. i said "these are delicious" and then i walked off the island. do you mean the bread crusts? oh. my bad :D

[guinaevere]

Gwen did you ever tell us what you got with your previous winnings?I still haven't picked a place to take a gift certificate from. I asked Colin for suggestions, but he said I should decide on my own. So... I still haven't used the gift certificate, because I still have no idea where I want a gift certificate from. :sweat:

*cough* you should have said bribe *cough*:cough:So... I still haven't used the gift certificate bribe, because I still have no idea where I want a gift certificate from how I want to divy up this huge pile of money. :cough:

I should have realized weeks ago that no one was gonna have fun with the jury questioning. That no one was going to call into play the ethics of either Tim or Gwen's games. No one was gonna call you out on any potential backstabbing and throat slitting you may have done, etc...


What's the whole point of saying "you can say ANYTHING YOU WANT" to the remaining players if you are just gonna go, stand up, ask a question (sometimes a question that seemingly has nothing to do with the game itself), and then sit down. The whole thing is supposed to be fun, but it just doesn't even look like anyone's having fun with it. Just looks like everyone is going through the paces... which has been happening since Week 1...

[guinaevere]

I should have realized weeks ago that no one was gonna have fun with the jury questioning.It certainly appears that someone is having fun with their answers at least. I won't name names or anything... :D

That no one was going to call into play the ethics of either Tim or Gwen's games. No one was gonna call you out on any potential backstabbing and throat slitting you may have done, etc... I dunno, Colin. We've now had 4 Jurors ask their questions. Two of the Jurors have asked pointed, though not flat-out "are you a total stinker for playing the way you have?" questions.

What's the whole point of saying "you can say ANYTHING YOU WANT" to the remaining players if you are just gonna go, stand up, ask a question (sometimes a question that seemingly has nothing to do with the game itself), and then sit down.I agree it would be very fun, if not unnerving to be faced with a very loaded or even worse, direct question. But you have to remember that unlike the tv show, we all aren't complete strangers, nor do we all go our seperate ways once it's over. I'm not close friends with any of the Jurors like Tim is, but we all do bump into each other with regularity on these boards, and that might be something to consider.

I should have known...
*sigh*psst. Colin, the host is generally supposed to keep the mood of the gathering up. :D

[Singin' Stray Cat]

Okay, that's it. I've had it.

Colin, please quit whining about how we're playing it. Please. It's taking all the fun out of it for me. I thought everyone was doing just fine. Personally, I WAS enjoying it. I'm sorry for saying such a thing, and I really didn't want to hurt your feelings because you've put a lot of effort into organizing this game and such. For that, I'm really grateful. You've done an excellent job. But this harping is getting on my nerves. I want to relax and just PLAY, not worry about something that I feel is relatively trivial. It takes me a while to come up with something even remotely fun and imaginative to post, and I don't always have that kind of time. Feels like my posts come under close scrutiny now or something, and if they don't measure up, then the whole game's ruined, or something. Geez! I don't want to have to worry that much during a game!

Look, as other people have said before, this is the first time we've tried something like this. Add to that, most people are busy with their lives outside the internet (look at the people who have had to drop out, for example) and it's only natural that people kinda put in what they have to, maybe a bit more, and move on. I can see your point. To a certain extent, I empathize with you. But instead of expecting things to just up and improve in the first game, just roll with it, let the game run its course, and keep stuff in mind for the next Survivor (assuming we have one). Like, was the timing bad? Well, we can hold the next one in, say, the middle of summer or something, when most people have more free time.

In any case, just don't worry about it. For your sake more than mine, really. Almost nothing is at its best the first go-round, and that's OKAY. So just RELAX, fer pete's sake.

Besides, how can you be sure that I didn't have any ulterior motives for asking the question that I did, hmmm? It was supposed to be deceptively simple. And I'll have you know that the answers turned out much more interesting than I'd expected.

[Kinel Ozoa]

Bessides, the first questions will open up even more for later juroros to ask! I already got mine ready though, it's a tough one. Don't hate me Gwen or Tim! :D

On a side note: Yeash I feel sorry for Pedro, it might be a while for him to reply to the jury thread. 3 Hurricanes in the same area in one month, mother nature seems to have it out for florida..:sad:

My gripe's not how you're presenting your questions. I think everyone's doing a fine job of presenting the questions. As for ulterior motives... you're right, I've got no idea what's been going through my head. My biggest "Harp" has been that for weeks I've been stressing that this is the point where you can unload on the final two for anything and everything about game play... you may think that this is a trivial point, but in fact it's supposed to be a vital point to the game. At jury, you have to face your demons. The other players have the right to call you out. Call you out on any bad deals you made, any times you were stabbed in the back, etc. Relive all the things you wish you didn't do. It proves the players the final two were. It provides you, the jury, with even more information to help base your final decision on. It doesn't present them as two superior people, but rather more realistic people and helps you to possibly see them in a different light. I guess I'm just frustrated that more of that's not coming into play. So, please, don't get me wrong. I may have come across as an ungrateful git, but that was far from it... we all know how difficult it is to convey some things online... this is a case where that was one of those things... we get over it and move on.

As for the next round (which, I for one hope there will be, and based on how well this one ultimately went, despite all my *****ing, there should be ;))... I don't know if time of year really had anything to do with it as much as the length of game play. No one really had any idea what to expect, myself included... no one knew how long this thing was gonna last, but we all made it through. Who knew it would last 4, almost 5 months... wow! I think it's just a matter of working the game when it's convenient for the players. Most "teams" will need to realize that everyone's not gonna always be available for whatever reason and they work with it. I doubt it'll make a difference whether it be Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall (though, Summer probably did turn out to be the better time since many of us didn't have excessive burdens, like pesky schoolwork). We'll see how it goes during the next round of Reality...

[TimTwoFace]

Ugh, I had forgotten that Pedro is in Florida - that explains his absense. I hope he's doing OK down there. *CROSSES FINGERS*

Bessides, the first questions will open up even more for later juroros to ask! I already got mine ready though, it's a tough one. Don't hate me Gwen or Tim! :D
Hey, as I said when the final round began - bring it on. The tougher, the better.

-Tim

[guinaevere]

Don't you dare even try to insinuate that I'm trying to influence the jury in that manner. Honestly.Oh, don't be silly. Yes, as I've admitted quite honestly to you, I feel at a disadvantage because you, as you've said, are close with many of the jurors. But if you read the paragraph you snipped that out of, you'll see the point I was trying to make to Colin.

Mainly that close friends or even friendly acquantances, that is one very understandable reason why they may feel uncomfortable asking us loaded questions.

[Singin' Stray Cat]

First off, again, I'm sorry for being blunt before. :sweat: Had to come out. Then again, I did break one of my major rules about posting here: "Never post when you're in a bad mood!" :p

It provides you, the jury, with even more information to help base your final decision on. It doesn't present them as two superior people, but rather more realistic people and helps you to possibly see them in a different light.Believe it or not, that did happen with the answer to my question. Seriously. Maybe it wasn't some major revelation to the rest of the jury (or...was it? ;) ) but it did show me a few new things, at least.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but... were you wondering why I (or anyone, really) didn't ask something more pointed, seeing as how I was with our final two contestants right up until almost the end? (Not to mention there's rumors of a former alliance floatin' around...) Anyway, I can't speak for everyone else, but for me the answer is: I just don't have an axe to grind with either of them. There's no demons, no drama, no jealousy, no betrayals. At least, none that would make me care enough to get all worked up over them. (And yet I did get worked up over delivery, go figure. :p ) I personally didn't ask a loaded question because I had nothing to load a question with.

Plus I have another reason, which will remain a secret for the time being. :evil: Tee hee...

We'll see how it goes during the next round of Reality...Kind of the other point I was trying to make, but prolly didn't. Don't be frustrated. There's enough things in life that'll do that to you. This shouldn't be one of them. :D

[Kinel Ozoa]

Any chance his PM foulder is full? He was on yesterday in the Yuyu Hakusho talkback thread.

[The Falcon]

hmm...usually in a typical jury system, if one juror cannot fulfill his/her duties, the next in line gets the spot. any chance in having the person booted from the island before the jury phase began come back for voting? or, you know...worst case scenario...have me do it? :p

GK

[Colin]

Well...

It seems like Majin is a bit overwhelmed by his school responsibilities and can't make the Jury phase... (tho, a message when this all started would have been nice... and considerate, but we move on...)

In the mean time, I'll work on finding a reasonable substitute... since we can't have 6 jurors because of what can happen with a tie... So, I shall keep everyone posted and let ya know within the next day or so...
