Survivor: LittleBigPlanet 4 - Duffluc Wins!

We're doing it again! A group of players competing against each other to win amazing prizes. Seriously amazing!

Round 4! Wow!

For those of you who didn't know, for three seasons, 16 people from the LBPC community have been playing a LBP version of Survivor - competing in challenges, voting each other out, all leading up to one person becoming the Sole Survivor.

We're starting a new game! This time, we've got a slightly altered format to make playing even easier!

Regular Game Format:
Once we get all of the players, I'll divide them into teams. Every 2-3 days there will be a challenge where the teams face off and the losing team must vote one of their own out of the game. This time, challenges will come in 3 varieties:
1 - Challenges where players get to play on their own - either as many times as they want when going for a high score, or trying to be the first to get through a level.
2 - Head to Head challenges where we'll set a meeting time for everyone to get online and take everyone on.
3 - Single player challenges where players must find me online at their convenience.

Players will each be invited to their team's group page. There, they can interact with fellow teammates and get all of the latest updates on the game.

Once a good portion of players have been eliminated (exact number to remain secret until it happens), the teams will merge and competitions will then become individual. The winner of these individual challenges gets immunity from being voted off. All remaining players will vote for one of those remaining.

Once we get down to the final two, the seven most recently eliminated players (9th-3rd Place) will each cast a vote for who they want to win. Most votes in the final vote becomes the Sole Survivor.

Rules and format for each challenge will be presented to the players following each vote.

Other variations may occur and will be explained to the players as the game progresses.

Doesn't LBP max out at 4 players?
Since LBP maxes out at 4 players, I've devised challenges that will work around that limitation. Some challenges will have the individual contributions of each team's members adding up to a whole, some will have head to head battles, some will require 2-3 from a team working together. Videos and descriptions of Season 1 and 2's team challenges are available on the official Survivor: LBP website @ christinaspartyrentals.net/survivor

Want in? Here's what you need to do.
Post in this thread saying that you want to play. Once you do, I'll send you a questionnaire to fill out. Fill it out and await further info. Once we're about to start, I'll send you an invite to your team's group page. It's that simple!

Since we're bound to get a few repeat players, potential new recruits will need to play a few levels with me so I can get a feel for their skill level.

However, there are some requirements for potential players:
Be willing to play a few levels with me as a part of the trial so that I can personally see what you're capable of.
Once the players are chosen, you must let me know who, if any of the players you have a preexisting relationship with.
Be willing to check the forum at least once a day and play in a challenge once every 2-3 days.
Be able to make it to the occasional scheduled meet up.
Be willing to stick with this game for as long as you're still in it. If this starts right away, we'll probably end sometime in mid July.
Be able to take in game screenshots and either post them online or send them to me.
Be able to respond to messages and group posts in a timely manner.
Be willing to follow the rules of a given challenge.
Be willing to follow the rules of the overall game.

Finally, while this isn't a requirement, it will be beneficial for anyone playing to use Yahoo messenger or any other compatible service. Since there isn't a chat feature on the site any more, this will help everyone keep in touch much, much easier...

They are no real limits to who can join this game. Please be somewhat coherent and have at least some grasp of how to play LBP. I also advise anyone who wishes to play to look up the basics of Survivor.

As I said before, the winner will get amazing prizes! The winner will get to pick out a piece of DLC from the US amazon.com store valued $5.99 or less. Also, ConfusedCartman is throwing in a forum Ultimate Bundle for the winner!

There's no exact start date yet. We'll probably get going a few days after we get all of the players registered.

Challenge 1

We're opening with a head to head challenge. One player from each team will join me in the level. Once we're in and I disappear, each of you will get paintguns. Using the paintguns, you will try to shoot a small electric ball into the hole in front of your opponent's gun. The first player to reach 5 balls will win a point for their team. The first team to five points, or the team with the most points at 10PM Eastern on Wednesday will win.

A few things. Once the level starts, it won't wait for you. A new ball will drop after each goal. Also, anything goes. Feel free to grab, slap, and shoot each other. If a player dies, no need to wait. Have fun. Be creative. If your team wins, you get a guaranteed trip to round 2.

In a race to be the first team to win 5 matchups, Pula defeated Itim in 5 of the first seven matchups. No need for the final two pairings.

Bmoney defeated sibtiger 5-0
theamilien defeated koneko 5-2
Inanimacy defeated Hana_Kami 5-0
DJKrimz defeated johnrulz 5-3
duffluc defeated StareingAnt 5-0
BurnVictim defeated RockSauron 5-0
twar97 defeated Emogotsaone 5-0
Pula defeates Itim 5-2

Challenge 2

Players will try to build a giant puzzle. A small picture of what the puzzle should look like is in the play area to give you some idea what you'll be building. Once a player completes their puzzle, they must send me a pic of them standing next to it. The first team to have five members send in a picture of their correctly completed puzzles will win.

Results with times of completion. Puzzle opened at 6:02 PM Eastern
BurnVictim42 6:11
Inanimacy 6:16
Duffluc 6:19
koneko 6:27
Hana_Kami 6:31
StareingAnt 6:38
FULLGORR 6:41
Pula defeats Itim 5-2. And just after the challenge ended,
Bmoney2310 6:42
RockSauron 6:47

Challenge 3

Challenge three has players facing off against Mr. Radical in a platforming race to the top of a tower. Players making it half way up get a point. Making it all the way up gets them a second point. Beating Mr. Radical to the top gets them a third point. Two Pula members sit this one out...

Inanimacy made it to the top after me - 2 points.
RockSauron almost beat me - 2 points
BurnVictim42 was doing well, but fell near the top and timed out - 1 point.
Doopz went... and died before the half-way point. 0 points.
Hana_Kamiwent and died after the half-way point. 1 point.
FULLGORR made it to the top after me - 2 points.
Bmoney is the first to defeat me. 3 points
twar97 died before the half-way point. 0 points
duffluc defeated me via me timing out. 3 points.
sibtiger followed me up the course to get 2 points.
theamilien defeated me... 3 points.
DJKrimz went, died before the half-way point. 0 points.
koneko went.... and died near the top. 1 point.

No further runs were needed. Itim wins.

Challenge 4

Challenge 4 had the players trying to get the highest score possible on a course made up of parts of old challenges. At the end of the play period, the team with more people in the top 10 on the leaderboard would win. In case of a tie, the team with the highest ranked player would win. After two intense days of fighting over the top ten spots, these were the final results:

sibtiger - 16023
Bmoney - 16016
duffluc - 15883
BurnVictim - 15740
koneko - 15360
Theamilien - 15283
DJKrimz - 14470
Hana_Kami - 13733
FULLGORR - 11393
Emogotsaone - 10380

Both teams have 5 on the scoreboard. With sibtiger up top, Itim won.

Challenge 5

Pairs from each team will work together to try and escape a large square room. They will use jetpacks to stack an extreme quantity of polystyrene bricks to build a makeshift ramp up to an exit. The team with the highest total score will win.

Duffluc and Sibtiger finish with a Score of 19766
RockSauron and Emogotsaone failed to finish.
BurnVictim42 and koneko finish with a score of 12290.
BurnVictim42 and Inanimacy finished with a score of 30230
Hana_Kami and sibtiger finished with a score of 6023.
DJKrimz and twar97 went. Score = 13430
Doopz and Theamilien did not finish.

The final run was no longer necessary. Pula wins

Challenge 6

One player from each team will face off. The players will enter a field of points bordered only by HORRIBLE GAS! Using jetpacks, players will race to get the highest score possible. Either player can go after any of the points. Anything goes once you're on the jetpacks. High score once all points are collected gets a win. The team with the most wins... wins...

Inanimacy defeated Sibtiger with a score of 3842.
twar97 defeated theamilien with a score of 5460
Hana_Kami defeated BurnVictim with a score of 5840.
Duffluc defeated koneko with a score of 5350
RockSauron defeated FULLGORR with a score of 7109.

Itim wins 3-2.

Challenge 7

Groups of 3 will enter an underwater course. The groups will need to drag a heavy grabbable weight through the course. There's only 1 air vent, and it's on the weight that you're carrying. However, the air will only come out when it's in front of a light. There's only a small number of lights, so you'll need to make really excellent time. The high score from each team's groups will be added to get a team total. Highest team total wins.

DJKrimz, Inanimacy, and koneko went... Score = 40280
Duffluc, Hana_Kami, and Sibtiger55 finish with a score of 41283
Bmoney2310, BurnVictim42, and twar97 finish with a score of 47276.
Doopz, RockSauron, and Theamilien become the first group to finish with two players and finish with a score of 17373

Pula wins

Challenge 8
Players race to fill a pit with polystyrene balls as quickly as they can. A thin layer of HORRIBLE GAS floats near the top of the pit. On the other side of the pit is the finish line. Each of you will need to fill the pit high enough so you can use the polystyrene to cross the pit and get to the finish line. Each player players on their own. Highest team total wins. Due to the uneven numbers, only the top 5 Pula scores count.

Duffluc has finished with a score of 1183.
twar97 did not finish before time expired.
Bmoney2310 failed to finish before time expired.
koneko finished with a score of 1426.
RockSauron finished with a score 6473.
Inanimacy finished with a score of 656.
BurnVictim42 finished with a score of 4073
DJKrimz scores 1736
Hana_Kami scores 576.

Itim wins 8232 - 7891.

Special Challenge

The five previously eliminated players form a team to compete with Pula and Itim in a 3 team challenge. If the eliminated players defeat either of the two regular teams, then they get to vote players back into the game to replace an active player.

Players will have to use a small yellow wheel to make their way over an expanse of fire. There are 10 checkpoints spread out across the course. Using only 1 life per attempt, players take as many attempts as they can in 35 hours to try and make it through all 10. The teams will be ranked by max number of checkpoints crossed by the entire team.

For Itim, sibtiger and duffluc each made it through all 10 checkpoints.
For Pula, BurnVictim made it to the end.
For Itim, Hana_Kami made it to the end.
For the Eliminated Team, Bmoney made it to the end.
For Itim, Rock made it through 2 gates and doopz made it through 4 gates.
For Pula, Inanimacy made it through 8 gates and koneko upgraded her score to 10 gates.
For the Eliminated, Theamilien made it through 8 gates.
For Pula, DJKrimz made it through 3 checkpoints.
Twar97 made it through 1 checkpoint.

Final score: Itim 36, Pula 32, Eliminated 18.

Challenge 9

Since the teams have merged, players are playing on their own. Each player will race to collect 7 medallions from a giant maze and place them in a chute in the correct order. The player that accomplishes this the fastest will win individual immunity.

sibtiger55 finished with 17376 left on the clock.
duffluc finished with 19170 left on the clock.
Inanimacy finishes with 11370 left on the clock.
Hana_Kami finishes with 12053 left on the clock.
twar97 finishes with 19800 left on the clock.
RockSauron finishes with 11316 left on the clock.
koneko finishes with 25636 left on the clock.
Burnvictim finishes with 25766 left on the clock.
DJKrimz finished with 2640 left on the clock.

BurnVictim42 wins the first individual immunity challenge.

Challenge 10

Groups of 3 face off against each other in a fight to the death. Each player starts on a loosely bolted platform and can do whatever it takes to knock their opponents into the gas below. Each time you're the last person standing, you get a point. The first player to get three points wins the round. The winner from each of the 3 round 1 matches will meet in a final match. The first person to 3 points there wins immunity.

First round - BurnVictim vs DJKrimz vs twar

Wins came in this order...
DJKrimz
DJKrimz
BurnVictim
BurnVictim
twar
BurnVictim

BurnVictim moves on to round 2.

Match 2 - Hana_Kami vs Inanimacy vs sibtiger

Wins came in this order...

sibtiger
sibtiger
Hana_Kami
Inanimacy
sibtiger

sibtiger moves on to round two.

Final round. After no one from the third group was able to show, we went to a 1 on 1.

Sibtiger won 3 straight.

Sibtiger wins immunity.

Challenge 11

Players will face off in a shooting challenge. Above each player will be yellow targets embedded in larger blocks. Each player must shoot the yellow target enough to dissolve the current block and reveal the next target. The first player to destroy all of their yellow targets will win the match.

By the way... the guns are mounted on the wall above where you'll be starting. Also, you'll be starting in the water. This means you'll need to jump out of the water, fire off a few shots... then repeat. Sounds fun, right?

We'll be doing this tournament style. Going to randomly draw this one...

koneko
twar--------------------koneko

sibtiger--------------------Inanimacy----------------------------Inanimacy
Inanimacy

duffluc
Hana_Kami--------------------------duffluc-----------------duffluc

Doopz---------------------------------DJKrimz
DJKrimz

and Inanimacy wins the final.

Challenge 12
Each player gets one chance to run through a basic platforming course that's completely shrouded in darkness. The only light provided will come from spinning red spotlights. The player with the fastest time will win immunity.

Inanimacy finished with 17723 left on the clock.
Doopz did not finish before time expired.
twar finished with 18696 left on the clock.
koneko finished with 15280 left on the clock.
duffluc finished with 21433 left on the clock.
in a bonus run, s3xnstilettos / Hana_Kami finished with 17700 left on the clock.
DJKrimz finished with 20573 left on the clock.
sibtiger missed the challenge.

Duffluc wins.

Challenge 13

A survival challenge. Each player will start off in a square room. Grab the black starting gate to begin. Once it dissolves, the scoring will begin. Make your way counterclockwise around the room. Following a single path, players must navigate a bunch of platforms and a few sections of fire material scattered around the room... and the biggest threat to your survival is a rotating column of HORRIBLE GAS. As time goes on, the HORRIBLE GAS will start moving faster. The players each had 24 hours to get the highest score they could, with the highest score at the end winning immunity.

Only 3 players registered scores...

3rd Place - koneko w/ 12832
2nd Place - duffluc w/ 13067
1st Place - sibtiger55 w/ 13070

Challenge 14
Each of the 5 remaining players had 3 days to create a Survivor challenge of their very own. The only requirements are that it contain fire and water. When the create period ends, a panel of judges voted to decide who had the best one. Winner receives immunity.

Once again, only 3 players attempted this one.

duffluc - Everyone really liked the concept. It had the most creative use of water out of the 3 levels. Nice, clean visuals, and something that seems like it could stand on it's own. It seemed almost impossible to progress after a certain point.

koneko - Seemed kind of similar to the maze challenge. While a simple effect, the fired up lattice stone underwater looked really impressive. Concept seemed like an interesting variation on the maze with the borders being deadly and half of it being underwater. The layout seemed... kind of like it wasn't thought out too well. Sort of became a chore to have to go back to start every time you'd barely bump into a wall.

sibtiger - Concept seemed like it had the most potential. One of the players had trouble actually getting into the level. Water didn't really seem integrated into the level. Frantic and fast paced with a simple and potentially fun objective, but it seemed like it still needed some work.

Duffluc wins.

Challenge 15

The four remaining players were divided up into two pairs. Each pair worked together to get through the course as fast as they can. Work together because one player won't be able to advance if the other is still stuck. At the end of the co-op section, there will be a finish gate. The time remaining after the second person passes through will be that pair's score. Both players need to make it through for a run to count.

Once through, each player will be on a jetpack in an arena surrounded by HORRIBLE GAS... similar to the team challenge where you tried to get the most point bubbles... Whoever knocks their partner/opponent into the gas first will be the winner of the round. The winner of the fastest round will be the winner of immunity.

Pairs are...

duffluc/koneko
sibtiger/twar.

duffluc/koneko made it to the end with 7426 left on the clock. Koneko defeated duffluc in the slap fight.
sibtiger/twar failed to make it to the end before time expired.
Koneko wins immunity.

Challenge 16

The players will each go into a course that has bombs being launched into a large enclosed space. The players will try to catch a bomb without exploding. Once they do, they need to bring it to a collection bin. Once the player has 4 intact bombs in the collection bin for at least 10 seconds, the exit will open up. The player who does this the fastest will win immunity.

Sibtiger made it through the final course with 49736 left on the clock.
After blowing up the 3 bombs she already collected, koneko finally finished with 27070 on the clock.
In a bonus run, The Wild Samoan finished w/ 36400 on the clock.
duffluc finishes with 43316 left on the clock
sibtiger wins immunity.

Challenges 1-11 are now open for free play! Just go into the Survivor: LittleBigPlanet 4 level and place any sticker on the picture of challenge you'd like to play.

Clay - I'll let you know what's what to finally set the record straight. 2 things - 1st, if you say that you didn't vote for yourself, I'd be willing to believe you. However, even if you didn't vote for yourself - the number of votes for each person was correct. When putting up the votes for each week, I've got all of the messages available to make sure my numbers are right. At the end of the season when I was putting up the list of who voted for who, I didn't have access to a few of the earlier weeks, so I pieced the voting together the best I could based upon what I remembered. Even if you didn't vote for yourself, the number of votes for each person was correct and you still would have been eliminated.
2 - In the rules for the season, I remember putting something in there about how I'd be willing to listen to any complaints so long as they were brought to me in a reasonable manner. I think I said something along the lines of how I'd flat out ignore someone if they couldn't keep their cool.

If you still want in, let me know.

I believe he said that the number of votes was correct, however in this case the voting party was incorrect.

Tophat - make sure you reread the original post. This isn't a one day thing. This will take a little over a month to complete, and each individual round will happen every 2-3 days. This means that some rounds will happen during the week, some on the weekend. If this still sounds like something you'd want in on, let me know.

I want to join just so i can get my revenge on RockJerky ; ( If i could idole him out prejury tis would be sweet !!! No revenge on BV that is a great player.

Unfortunetly the ps3 has yet to return to life, therefore i will not be enabled to get rockjerky eliminated ; ) Even though i was glad my tribemates in the African season made the descission to eliminate him ^^

You need to have Stilletos in or else this is going to be boring man ; )

And look at the challenges, i want a

*Tribal councill were you can see who is still alive by their tourches.
*More epic challenges with the team flags hanging up and tourches incase it is a night setting.
* More twist, like the schoolyard pick from Palau, seing a couple of losers like Wanda and Jonathan being burnt would be sweet !
*DoubleEliminations were everyone has the change to compeat for individual immunity !!!!!!
*Late merge since in this game you need more rounds to rid the weak ; ) Wich means RockJerky is getting to high but there is cons with everything : D
*Give the HII the same power as in Exile island( You don't need to use it, if you have it it is used per default after the votes)
* Incase a tie happends..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g54tyO2dVc

Why not have more than 2 tribes ? If a tribe with 2 members go to tc....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utu2ms_8z5Y

Incase a tribe of 1 goes to tc this person is eliminated by default:

Have a starting player were 2 or more win immunity, divides tribe but there are more people that can fit into the tribes like in Palau were the winners of hte first immunity select their tribes of 8 members but there are 18 so 2 ppl aint picked and they are ELIMINATED ; D

Allso you need to write some better recaps, if you'd like i can use my witty powers to write some awesome recaps ^^

we used something very similar in Season 3 when there was a tie early on. Effectively random elimination. No telling what's going to happen next time... Want to keep it a secret...

edit to respond to a few more points doubletime brought up:

the HII - way too powerful in the first few seasons it existed. I almost want to get rid of it altogether... If it remains, it will keep the same rules it's had. WIth the way the recent seasons have gone, I don't want a HII determining the course of the game.

As for twists... Last time, the players didn't know that there would be 3 teams of 6. We had a challenge to dissolve one of the 3 teams. The two remaining teams were mixed up yet again. Finally, we merged at 9 again.

Double eliminations won't really work with our format. As it is, I usually end up w/ 2-3 people who quit, so having two go in a round will rush things along too much. Also, when there's double elimination on the show, the winning team for the challenge usually gets a reward. Since we don't have reward challenges, there wouldn't be any reasonable incentive for a team to show up that round.

Really hope that Stilettos will join, but waiting to find out if she is willing to...

I'm still not sure whether to join or not, which has nothing to do with what happened at the end of season 1. (for those that dont know mrradical and i are friends and have apologized to each other a while back) So yeah, we have made up, and are getting married August 2nd. J/K <<<

But as I said day before yesterday, let me know when it comes down to needing 2 or 3 more because I'm always so busy on PSN. I'm really unsure whether to join or not due to time, not to mention what I said about not feeling welcome at LBPC anymore because of how some people are against my hobby of LBP expert play. Well at least Burn, yourself, joey, and others know. So at least I'd have some friends here that dont get the wrong impression from that word.

Just out of curiosity would I be able to use my Japanese account if I wanted to? I mean I wont type in Japanese since no one would be able to read it anyways and I have no reason to talk to myself.

Just mean the different PSN name from what I'm known as. I'm not saying I would use that account anyways, just meant in case I did want to use that one instead. I'm sure the answer to this is probably in the topic post, which I have not read yet, lol.

@Tophat_Smile:

Lol, that will only help you for platforming challenges. It's not just platforming. There's various challenge types, whether platforming, puzzles, creating, etc, not to mention no matter how good you are if the challenge involves team work you often will not be able to complete without the teammate(s) help.

Platforming may be my strong point, but because its not just platforming the playing field is even. For me platforming is my only strength, while everything else is average. Then again platforming is the foundation of LBP, so I do sort of expect at least half the challenges to be platforming.

<3 You gotta bring stilletos in she will make the season worth WATCHING

The HII sucks on the show but it is more fair here because active players are being rewarded ^^ And on Seseon 3 you have only drew the 3 tied people.. Not good... Everyone who doesn't have immunity should draw and if there is more than 2 people that didn't recieve votes but doesn't have immunity the tied people should be safe and everybody else should draw rocks. If there is a tie at the final 4 with one person having immunity then the tied persons have to draw rocks to <3 The purple rock was so epic in Marquesas man ^^

And Stilletos is so hillarius that she is a must have <3 she needs to be on the real show man <3

No i meant i was a goat = Player who is dragged to the final tc to be bashed by a bitter jury.

If you and me and racroz and Draken did make a f4 alliance. You would have had alot better change of winning and you would have had my jury vote as long as you didn't eliminate me. You didn't take the change to get rid of BV and his idol while you had the change to do so and he ended up winning + getting my jury vote over Rocky.

Stilletos did not finish the game by quitting and refusing to vote as a jury member but she will make the season worth watching <3 even better then Crystal in gabon roflmao xD

@doubletime:

I don't think I've ever seen a transvestite on any reality show. I've seen transgendered, but not transvestites. Anyways, nothing wrong with his bearded fairy, lol, nor do I believe it's a transvestite. Who knows where that fairy came from, maybe it's normal for fairies there to have beards? Who knows?

I like the blackteam xD Villains are allways more entertaining then heroes, I WANT TO SEE BACKSTABBING AND DECEPTION XD Just look at the frist eps of Survivor HvV... You will Yawn when theys how the heroes and laugh when they show the villains xD

! S20 is filled to the edge with spoilers about previus seseons, so if you want to stay unspoiled about the old school seseons do not watch since previus winners are on HvV.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo9RZGZ9gmg

If you want to remain unspoil and watch a good fun seseon, then i recomend pearl islands ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knbyFkaNwTI ) China ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc9kTwa5-PI) Australia ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPnuO8XBqjs) Gabon ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbeMp5iGkZM ) cook islands ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_pSALYnzSA ) and palau ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCLp82LxMas )

Thailand,Borneo,Marquesas and Vanuatu are the lesser seseons you should avoid ^^

Yous hould make a tribal councill for cosmetic reseons were every contestant that has been on tribal council has a tourch adn every eliminated person has a snuffed tourch there, should be filled with wodden idols and a big bonfire in the middle and several tourches. I liked the Exile island tribal councill the China tribal councill and the Cook islands tribal council alot ^^

Allso Emogotsaone. Making it to the jury section of the game is very easy here. It doesn't matter if you are a noob as long as you are active. There were 4 villains from (as i call the black tribe lol) that lost 5-0 and one of them should be going home, wich means you have a 3/4 shot at staying alive !

Simply be active in the group page and post alot ( On seseon 2 Hydra was targeted because he didn't post ?n the group page) and if you want to discuss who should stay and who should go do that in an open form or do that online since players will become suspicius if you send them pms since there is a big change of you doing it to alot of others players at the same time ( Witch is why i failed to get enough votes to eliminate BV at the F7 in the first seseon, even though RacRoz and Theamillen would have had a very good change of winning if they eliminated Bv and flushed the idol =O they failed to recognize it was their best move due to the fact that i sended pms and that i riddiculated Racroz premerge)

Don't riddiculate members of the other tribe, don't mock the other tribe since the members of your'e tribe and the members of the other tribe will resent you for doing so. and even though their best play will be to take you along to the final 2 as a goat that they can defeat in the jury votes they will not do it because they would rather be in the F2 against someone they want to see winning =)

So be an active poster, have good sportmanship and discuss who should be eliminated in an open form. That is all you have to do and you will have a very good change of staying alive ^^?

I've never made a tribal council set for a few reasons:

First, I'm not the best when it comes to detailed work in create mode. A tribal council set would need some insane detail to really be worth anything.
Second, time. I lose a huge amount of time to the competition as it is, and an extra set up would drain that much more of it.
Third, I'm just about out of publishing space. Even if I wer to get one done, I'd put it into the main level, but the thermo is just about maxed.

And this is all assuming that people would actually be into a level showing who has been eliminated from a game only about 30 people know about...

If someone wanted to make one, they'd have my blessing... but it's not something I'd ever really do.

It could allso serve gameplay purpose by having the tie breaker there ; ) And if you have a hidden immunity idol it would be the perfect place to hide it on.

I would make one to show you incase i had lbp

If you have an african theme, look at the tc from Africa(Kenya) and Gabon, the tc was in a straw hut village =) A huge bonfire in the middle, a table were the urn is placed. Some tourches a bench and alot of strawhuts and some voodoo dolls and wodden idols and a walk of shame and a hike with tourches int o the tc would be epic <3

no videos due to lack of a fully functional camera and the extreme amount of time it takes to unload, edit, and upload.

johnrulz77 has been eliminated.

Challenge 3 has all players facing off against me in a race to the top of a tower with simple platform jumping. If a player makes it half way up, they get a point. Making it all the way up get them a second point. Beating me to the top gets them a third point.

this time around, i'm only recording when I might need a replay to determine the winner. as you can see by the horrible quality of the video, i'm using my cell to get it done.

so like I said before, no full videos just yet...

Challenge 3 sounds really cool. Kudos to those players who managed to defeat mr Radical (no offence!). Nice to get the video snippet too - that was some close finish there, lol! It really did seem to come down to the height of the final jump.

Why aren't you playing?

Well, the two main reasons are:

I?m not good enough a player in multiplayer situations (true story!)

The time commitment involved ? I have a family and a job and there literally wouldn?t be enough hours in the day to do Survivor properly on top of all that

More than a little bit of me regrets it though

as it looks such a blast to be part of. At least I can enjoy it vicariously ? and without the stress, lol!

Challenge 4

Challenge 4 had the players trying to get the highest score possible on a course made up of parts of old challenges. At the end of the play period, the team with more people in the top 10 on the leaderboard would win. In case of a tie, the team with the highest ranked player would win. After two intense days of fighting over the top ten spots, these were the final results:

sibtiger - 16023
Bmoney - 16016
duffluc - 15883
BurnVictim - 15740
koneko - 15360
Theamilien - 15283
DJKrimz - 14470
Hana_Kami - 13733
FULLGORR - 11393
Emogotsaone - 10380

Both teams have 5 on the scoreboard. With sibtiger up top, Itim won.

At the vote, StareingAnt became the fourth player eliminated.

Because LittleBigPlanet is a mind-blowing experiment on the advanced and articulate relationships between the underlying perplexed conundrums and hidden enigmas of a blank canvas and the wonderfully creative minds of universal ages that are tasked to paint it.

@emo:

What do you mean why are all these adults here?

I suppose I should ask why are all these kids here?

No one is too old to have fun. Gaming is for all ages. Now I wouldn't be caught playing a child's game unless it was with my own kids or kids, but LBP is a universal game. I always find it amusing when someone hears my age online and their response is "You're 24! What are you doing playing LBP!?"

Luckily more and more parents in today's world are realizing games aren't just for kids. But depending on someone's environment and upbringing they assume games are a kid's thing.

People that take life too seriously will never be open minded enough to realize gaming is a form of entertainment much like movies, music, etc. There's a reason games have ratings. ^_~ E for everyone is everyone for a reason. M for mature is mature for a reason.

Anyways, now I'm rambling lol. Just enjoy things in life to the fullest that you can. Will you stop playing games once you become an adult?

As long as you are responsible and can balance important life things with your gaming then there is nothing saying you can't play games. ^^

@shropshirelass:

I know what you mean about multiplayer.

But 'everyone' in LBP is never as good at multiplayer as they are solo, whether it's camera issues that plague multi, or lag, or simply unable to focus as well multi.

But half of the challenges in Survivor are done solo. ^_~

Hana, he was just saying that everyone playing survivor for this season is adults. You sorta... overreacted right there.
*shakes head* Wow. Just wow.
Anyway, I'm sharpening up on skills... long way to go, though, I just need to ace the Bunker, and maybe I'll get some more confidence.

... waiwuh, no one playing survivor this season is an adult... or at least, not many .___________.

And I don't know how you interpreted it as that, but that isn't how he meant it, or how any sane person would take it :kz:

@Jsp0t:

Overreacted? You must have missed the smiley face in that comment.

This is what I hate about the internet, people don't know how something is being said because you can't hear their voice. That's why I try using emoticons, but they tend to not work.

It's like Rock said above, don't see how you interpreted that as overreacting/anger.

It was said like a pep talk, lol, as in happy calm tone.

For example, when I said people that take life too seriously I'm assuming you thought I was referring to him. I was referring to other people that do, as in the adults that think gaming is for kids and everything is only about work and maturity means you can't act silly, etc. As in I was telling him happily to not let people like that give him a different impression. Be free.

I'd really like to be in the next season of this game, so I can entertain you guys with my notion to FAIL EPICLY at anything that isnt holding the R1 button for elongated peroids of time, leading to boredom SO INTENSE it can enforce UNCONCIOUSNESS upon the players brain, in which that certain parcitipant of the unconciousness will undergo peroids of RANDOM AREAS OF CAPS and some UNDERLINING.
In short, this looks really good fun and I'd love to be able to join and give it my best shot. I don't really mind about the prizes- I'm in it for the enjoyment.

Sorry, they're not letting any others join until this one's over. And it will take a while since it isn't a simple competition. It's survivor, LBP style

. But luckily they're in the top 7 right now.

If you take a picture in-game, you can transfer it to the PS3's HDD. Then from the menu you can plug in a USB flash drive and transfer the picture over to it.

Sorry to interrupt you here, folks...

Inanimacy and xero11213, get over here now! Okay. Inanimacy - that BUMP may be an in joke, but it's a little spammy, especially if it's an in joke because no-one else will get it. And there's no need for rudeness.
xero... if you're that concerned or upset about the bump, report it and let us do our job rather than trying to police it yourself, because it always ends up in someone being rude, and someone responding with rudeness as a result.

Both of you got that? Okay, now play nicely, please.

Please continue...

I assure you, no intentional rudeness came from my direction at any point in time. Also, I did not attempt to police anything, I merely made a comment on it. It also may be worth mentioning that I did originally report the post.

There doesn't seem to be any reason to continue on here, so I'll take my leave.

Indeed you did, xero, but you only reported the rude response to your twice claiming that Inanimacy's post was pointless and unnecessary - not the initial spam/bump. And yes it was a pointless and unnecessary post, but surely you've gotta know that when you point that out to the person who posted it, in an accusatory way (even though not technically 'rude', although he may have interpreted it as a bit rude), there is a high chance it will end in rudeness. It's not a lone incident by any means - nor is it anywhere close to being the worst.

So, please, don't stress, all is okay. Hang around and get involved. Don't let this one incident put you off. If you do, then it's your loss, mate.

enough time has passed... it's time for the post game festivities!

first of all, the bios have been updated to reflect the final standings. All challenge info has also been updated.

second... over the next few weeks, i'll be posting my personal commentary on the game. think of this as a cross between a recap, behind the scenes, and armchair quarterbacking... if being a quarterback meant "online survivor player". I hope to see some of season 4's players join in, and if anyone who didn't play wishes to join in the discussion, feel free.

Pre-Game

Notes on a few players...

s3xNstilettos... ask almost any player from the first Survivor: LBP what they remember, and they'll most likely bring up the events that transpired between her, myself, and the rest of the merge players in that season. The whole thing started as a misunderstanding brought about by lack of solid communication methods and the stress of a game no one really knew about. I won't be going into specifics, but know that it was intense, lasted longer than it should, and gave a handful of people a fear of magenta text.

So when it came time to start recruiting for season 2, I knew I wanted to have her back in. No offense to fans of the under the radar style of play, but I feel it enhances the experience to have players who really stand out as opposed to players who you almost forget are there. She didn't join up, and despite my best efforts, she didn't join up with season 3 either.

I spent a few weeks trying to get her to join. She finally agreed, but she was super apprehensive that her history with Survivor and some other unpleasant experiences she was having on the forum would seriously hurt her chances of surviving. It was eventually worked out that she'd use a new forum name and I'd keep my mouth shut about who she actually was...

I wondered if she'd be able to keep things under wraps, especially when her first bio made it seem like she was either s3xNstilettos with a new name or s3xNstilettos' biggest fan. A few people were suspicious early on... I specifically remember koneko and duffluc.

BurnVictim was the most dominant player in Season 1. He almost joined back up for season 3, but a dead PS3 kept him on the sidelines for another season. Coming into this season, he'd be playing with the other 3 members of his alliance that completely owned the first season - him, rock, s3xNstilettos, theamilien.

RockSauron is the only player who has played in every single season that I've ever run. After finishing second in season 1, he was an early merge boot in S2 and got burned early on in Season 3. Like super early on. With the players who joined up this season, it seemed like this would have been the season for him to return to the top.

duffluc was robbed. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. From my POV in S3, he was the leading member of the pair that basically controlled the majority of the game. Still not exactly sure how that vote went down... Going into this season, I figured that unless he could survive long enough to ally himself with his S3 cohorts, he'd be an early boot for being a threat.

Koneko... From my interactions with her before season 3, I was kinda surprised when she was one of the most powerful players in S3. Between challenge wins and never once being in danger of elimination, she kicked a lot of ***. But... it really seemed to me like a lot of her power in the game flat out came from the time she put in being nice to and interacting with the other players. I didn't know where she'd fall this time around...

Theamilien - consistently strong player. He was my pre-game pick to win it all. He was a part of the season 1 and 3 power alliances and to me it seemed that he'd be able to control the flow of the game by joining up with either of his former groups.

The recruitment period was really short this time, and I didn't really have any pre-game activities, so I didn't get to know the new players too well before the game.

Assembling the Teams

I've wanted to do a season where returning players face off against new players since season 2. I actually had the numbers to do that this time around, but I had two things that kept me from pulling the trigger - 1- it would look kind of odd if Hana_Kami was the only "new" player on the vet team, 2 - I didn't know that much about the new players this time. If the new players couldn't hang with the vets, the season could have ended up super lopsided. I can imagine the complaints I would have gotten when 5 vets needed to sit out of a challenge to keep the numbers even. On the flip side, if things remained even between vets and rookies, lumping all the vets on one team means that some of my "guaranteed" players would be eliminated each time the vets lost. By guaranteed, I mean players that I know will be active on the forum, players that I know will compete, and players who already know the ins an outs of the game.

So instead of old vs. new, I just did my best to split up previous alliances and balance out the talent levels the best I could.

Inanimacy and Stilettos were pretty tight, so I split them.
Burn and Rock were split.
Koneko and Duffluc were split.

Theamilien ended up with Rock, Duffluc, and Stilettos.... With Stilettos - I figured that he'd either still be weird about season 1 or not know who she was. With Rock, I figured that neither of them have been super proactive about building alliances... And I figured he was closer to koneko than duffluc...

Everyone else... just sort of fell into place.

More soon.

After season 3 ended, I knew I'd be working with a much different schedule... Basically only leaving me nights from Monday to Saturday. With how much time is needed to keep something like this running, and the lack of flexibility a lot of players seemed to have with their schedules, I didn't think I'd be able to give another season the attention it deserved. In the downtime after season 3, I started playing around with some challenge concepts that never really got off the ground in previous seasons. Challenge 1 was one of them.

Back in season 2, me and littlebigdude805 were trying to figure out how to make some sort of tug of war challenge. We started with a grabbable ball that each player needed to drag over to their goal... That didn't work so well. We upgraded to paint guns and had something that looked a lot like this challenge. I let littlebigdude finish that one and we ended up with the giant electric ball. The giant ball worked pretty well, but once there wasn't much ability to reset that one in between points and there wasn't much flexibility to the strategy... So I tested out the smaller ball again and finally got it down to what was challenge 1.

Pre-game, my testers kept coming up with different ways to kick *** at this challenge. My favorite was to keep shooting your opponent so that they never had a chance to get any shots fired. The first few rounds... were... boring? Pretty much two things happened - either a player couldn't get their gun w/o dying, or the players just shot at the ball and only the ball and it came down to straight up shooting...

Bmoney was the first to really think outside of the box. After losing the first 3 points to johnrulz, he started playing dirty and managed to keep johnrulz away from his gun.

Pula eventually won.

On Itim, Tophat_Smile never showed up and became the first person eliminated. Can you really be eliminated if you don't play? I later found out that their PS3 died...

In terms of strategy... The first few rounds sort of blur together for me... On Pula, I remember koneko scrambling to get into an alliance early on. From what I remember, she approached BurnVictim about an alliance and his response was something along the lines of wanting to wait and see what happens.

I know that some alliances were eventually worked out.... Koneko and duffluc wanted to team up again, and they planned to bring along duffluc's friends sibtiger and twar. From that foursome, the big alliance on each team was formed... Koneko and twar started off alone, but rode the group concensus in the first two votes... and eventually Inanimacy and Bmoney joined in. On Itim, Duffluc and Sibtiger allied with RockSauron and Hana_Kami. I vaguely remember Doopz being connected to Duffluc, twar, and sibtiger. I had a feeling that Rock and Burn would team up if they both made the merge...

So you can imagine how funny it was for me to see over half of the game essentially in one giant alliance. Koneko, twar, Inanimacy, Duffluc, RockSauron, Hana_Kami, BurnVictim, Doopz, Bmoney... Assuming that Rock and Burn wanted to team up, the only player out of that mega-alliance without a secondary alliance or cross team connections was Bmoney....

More soon. Your opinions are always appreciated.

Back for more in honor of the upcoming season.

Challenge 2 was a remake of one of my favorite season 3 challenges. I cut the platforming sections just to keep this early challenge on the easier end of things...

I'm constantly learning from unforeseen things that happen during the game. In testing, I didn't have any problems with players locating puzzle pieces. During the challenge period, RockSauron and Hana_Kami both missed the pieces underwater with both assuming that because I didn't say there were any under there, there was no way to know... I personally figured that Rock should have known since he had played this challenge in the previous season.... but... yeah. It turns out that it wouldn't have mattered much if they had known since Pula finished before Itim even had their last person begin the puzzle.... In a weird turn of events, Johnrulz77 was eliminated. Never exactly understood that one...

Challenge 3 was originally set to be the opening challenge. In the previous 3 seasons, I had a challenge where players faced off 1 on 1 against a member of the opposing team in a race through a level. The fun twist with those challenges was that a player could lose if they timed out off of the screen. This usually led to some frantic play, but scheduling head to head challenges is... a pain. So this time out, I decided to take on the players myself. Since there isn't exactly a fair way that I can compete as a player, this was a fun way to get more involved in the competition. A few things... Bmoney established himself as a challenge badas$ by utterly destroying me in the race. IMO, this challenge was the turning point that eventually led to his elimination for being a threat. RockSauron ended up involved in challenge drama again. My race against him was incredibly close, with us finishing the race within a tenth of a second of each other. We finished so close together that my failsafe finish line emitter couldn't tell me who won. It looked to me like I beat him, but Rock disagreed. I ended up taping this challenge and was able to post a video for rock to see that I actually beat him. Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fVztWJruXo

Itim still ended up winning, and Pula's inactive player The_Imagineer was eliminated.

Challenge 4... Not much to say about that one. Sibtiger got his first... first place finish and Bmoney continued to have the best Pula performance. Sibtiger's top spot gave Itim the win. On the voting end of things, the group decided that since StareingAnt never really showed up on the forums, he should be eliminated. Not entirely sure how I felt about that decision. StareingAnt might not have been the most active forum personality or the best at the challenges, but he rarely missed challenges and seems like he would have been an easy person to get rid of later on or beat in the finals.

More soon...

A cracking read - there's nothing like getting the behind the scenes story! Especially for someone like me who wasn't in on the whole thing.

I remember the vid you posted of your photo finish with Rocksauron - sooo close! Was it just luck that you were recording that particular race or do you record them all just in case there's something like that which needs resolving?

Keep it coming!

Last season I recorded anything where I felt a result might come into question. Example - Challenge 1 didn't need filming because it was all about the end result with no rules until then. Challenge 3 and challenge 10... could end up with people complaining that I called the result wrong, so I recorded those.

Challenge 5 was a remix of a challenge from season 1. While I really liked the way we originally did it with just trying to build the biggest tower possible, the physics in LBP prevented towers from being stable past a certain height, so this remix was the next best thing. Itim got absolutely destroyed with two of their pairs being unable to finish. Poor Rock... thought he was going to kill Emogotsaone.... And that's what I think led to Emo being eliminated. *Bonus Info* this one was originally going to be a single player challenge until I saw how much trouble I had escaping the room when a second player joined in during testing...

Challenge 6... was an absolute dud. Didn't like it. I wanted a variation on the slap fight from season 3, and somehow came up with this. I sort of liked how it looked, but it played like crap and took up an extreme amount of thermo. Looking at the number of runs, it looks like we missed a pair. Not sure what that's about at this point. I do know we had the highest rate of challenge no-shows this season. Weird considering we had so many repeat players... Voting... FULLGORR had become something of a temporary minor celebrity after being invited to media molecule. Between the newfound "fame", his create ability, and his strong performance in season 2, I figured he'd be around til the end. What I think killed him was that he was... moderately active? He was less active than the super active people and that made it seem like he wasn't that into things. I heard talk about eliminating him because he was a threat, but I really don't buy that. He just wasn't a part of the active core... Finally, the three votes not for FULLGORR were all for different people. DJKrimz, BurnVictim, and FULLGORR all split their votes. While their 3 votes probably wouldn't have done much, it's interesting to see that the three of them weren't voting with anyone at this point...

Challenge 7 was probably my favorite to watch out of the new challenges this season. Co-op in LBP is usually for only 2 people, and is usually on dry land. I wasn't sure if 3P co-op was going to work schedule wise, but the potential chaos meant I had to try. Factor in underwater awkwardness and players' inability to communicate while carrying a large rock and swimming... Total gold. The challenge was built to allow two players to continue on if the third died late. Only one team took "advantage" of this, but the smaller numbers led to slower speed. BurnVictim and Bmoney continued their strong performances with a score 6000 points higher than the next fastest run.
Weird voting on Itim this round. Theamilien tried to eliminate Rock early again. Hana cast a lone vote for Doopz. The rest voted theamilien. No idea what the Doopz vote was about..

Challenge 8 was another meant to be a late game single player, but I modified the scoring to accommodate teams. Pula went in with a slight advantage due to having an extra player that could attempt the course, but they threw that away early when two of their players DNF. RockSauron pretty much won this challenge for Itim singlehandedly scoring 6473 out of his team's 8232 points.

At the vote, Bmoney was on the chopping block due to being a threat for the upcoming merge, and twar was being discussed... For being inactive an annoying a few people I think. Burn and DJKrimz finally voted together when they joined Bmoney to vote for twar. The rest of the team was a core part of the cross team alliance and stuck together to eliminate Bmoney. I would love to have seen what would have happened if Bmoney survived. A lot of the early merge round eliminations all happened because the right people won immunity, and Bmoney might have disrupted that...

More soon...

It seems as though I've left something huge out in my last recap... Before the season started, Duffluc informed me that he'd be going on a trip for about a week and a half right in the middle of the season. The timing bummed both of us out, but I convinced him to stick in anyway. I figured that with how much he dominated the S3 challenges, he'd be one of the first people out anyway, so the trip wouldn't really interfere.

Of course he ended up not being an early boot. He actually ended up leaving at the best possible moment. Three out of the four challenges he would miss were all single player events. I allowed him to play the challenges early, and told him I would post his scores each round that he was still active for. In terms of activity and voting, he left me instructions to keep match his votes to whatever sibtiger was doing. Knowing that things can change quickly in Survivor, he said to follow Hana or Koneko's votes if sibtiger went rogue... Somehow, he ended up surviving the vacation...

Challenge 8.5 - Seeing how strong players were eliminated early in season 3, I set up a twist early on that would allow eliminated players to fight for a chance to get back into the game. I lucked out with the number of eliminated players that wanted to play - exactly the number I had on each active team. It all amounted to nothing as the majority of the eliminated players didn't even submit results. It's kind of a shame since Bmoney and Theamilien both posted strong scores...
Had the eliminated players won, I'd imagine that Bmoney and Theamilien would have been the ones put back into the game. Can't imagine that bmoney would have made it much further with the way the "alliance" started targeting threats right at the merge...

Challenge 9 - The first single player challenge. The talk I kept hearing made it seem like Hana had taken control of the Itim chapter of the alliance while duffluc was away. The new regime made it pretty clear that they wanted to take out a threat... Going so far as to discuss RockSauron and duffluc as possibilities if BurnVictim somehow won... And despite duffluc's high score from his pre-play, BurnVictim ended up winning immunity.

I figured that DJKrimz was the obvious choice. He didn't have ties to anyone, was fairly strong in the challenges, and was a part of the original Pula tribe in a time when Itim seemed to be calling the shots. Like I said before, RockSauron and Duffluc's names kept coming up as elimination possibilities... Working on fuzzy memories here, but I believe Sib and Koneko lobbied hard to keep duffluc in. I'd love it if someone from season 4 could help me out here...

Either way, Rock was eliminated with 5 votes. Here's what he posted after finding out he was eliminated:

Well, figures this would happen... not sure how it figures, but meh.

Now, time for my look into... thing:

1 vote Doopz
2 votes DJKrimz
2 votes Inanimacy
5 votes RockSauron

Burn told me he voted for DJ, and DJ didn't vote at all so that takes care of him... I voted for inanimacy, Which leaves

1 vote doopz
1 vote inanimacy
5 votes... me

Eh, no matter how you slice it, seems like everyone of that old coalition of mine voted me out.

<3 you guys. Ah well. figures. somehow. not sure how

Anyway... ...

... /runs

Round 10 continued the crazy. BurnVictim was still the prime target up for elimination. Duffluc was still out of town for the competition portion, and since this was a vs. challenge, he couldn't compete. Rock... was seriously ******.

The challenge was an old favorite of mine where three players try to knock each other off of loosely bolted platforms. This one usually ends up a bit chaotic, and every season a player finds some way to complain about how the challenge wasn't fair.... To counteract this, I made sure to announce that this time, anything goes. Anything short of disconnecting was legal. Go ahead and decorate your opponent and their platform so they can't see. Go ahead and drag a player off the edge so they can't get a point. ANYTHING GOES!

In a first round match, sibtiger took on Hana_Kami and Inanimacy. The last to die would get a point, and the first to 3 points would move on to the finals. Inanimacy seemed rather lackadaisical about the whole thing, even eliminating Hana one round in something of a suicide dive. Sibtiger took a 2-1-1 lead. In the fifth round, Inanimacy went out quickly, leaving only Hana and Sibtiger. Me and Inanimacy were cracking up about how he died. Something funny... I forget what. We kept messaging each other, and during onslaught of text, Hana died, leaving sibtiger the winner. Hana felt we cheated her. She said it wasn't fair for her since the text bubbles distracted her. Going back to the group page, I found this:

Hana_Kami - 07-11-2010

I'm dropping out.

First I lose bcuz 'after inan died' his text bubble, then mrrad stickers dissolve to start while I was still typing. I couldn't even believe that.

Hana_Kami - 07-11-2010

There's no point in competing in a competition where the host can cause a lose like that.

Sib saw it too. So now I don't know what to do. Knowing the history of this competition mrrad never fixes or makes right mistakes, which is why I said it'd be better to drop than wasting my breath.

I'm still stunned about that.

Hana_Kami - 07-11-2010

If I'm going to lose the lose should be either me falling in gas for inability to stay on block or opponents knocks me off.

Hana_Kami - 07-11-2010

My first loss was legitimate, but the 2nd one (due to unclear rules), and mainly the last one wasn't.

Seriously. All 4 posts without letting another person get a word in...

For the sake of keeping the peace, sibtiger agreed to re-do the run and ended up winning again...

Burn advanced to the finals, but ended up losing in 3 straight rounds to Sibtiger. Without immunity, Burn was eliminated and became the first member of the jury.

More soon.... including even more chaos!

Lol Mr R, actually, Hana never took over the leader of Alliance. It was always me when Duffluc left. ALSO, me and Koneko were the ones that tried to Keep Duffluc in the game. We were a secret alliance and hey, we must've done something good

Sib - 2 things...

1 - I mentioned that it was you and koneko trying to save duffluc.

2 - If you were the leader, why would you have to try and save duffluc? hell, why was duffluc even an option?

@mrrad:

Ok, now I am really POd mrrad. Maybe you just don't remember.

In the slap the other player off the block challenge with sib and inanimacy they both watched you sticker the start thing while I was still typing and yet you don't even mention that and act as though it never happened. That is what happened with the 2nd loss. 1st one I didn't know was legal until you said it was fine. So yes I posted those comments in group because I was extremely angry and in the past when someone mentioned a legitimate problem to you you usually do nothing to fix so I jumped to conclusions. So you admitted your fault after my competitors that round even confirmed it, but yet you only mention the first loss here about the text covering view of landing which is because I hadn't known at the time it was legal.

Notice in comments you took above there are 2 losses I mention. 2nd was one you caused by stickering start before all players were ready, then I had to rush out of text and by that time it was too late.

I remember in pod when Inan and sib asked why we were there again after we already finished, you said "Hana feels she was cheated saying I stickered start while she was typing" and they said "you did". But it sounds like you're denying something myself, Inan, and sib saw. You say they "agreed to redo for sake of peace" as though they didnt agree because of what you did.

It's distasteful that you would sit here and make lies without the proper facts. If your memory is fuzzy on it you shouldn't say anything at all, or else you make someone look bad when they had not done what you make it sound like and left part out completely. I'm glad someone brought this to my attention. Didn't even know stuff was still being posted about this season.

Regarding the "anything goes" of the spinny platform challenge, Radical wasn't kidding! The first section I was in involved heavy slapping, grabbing, and attempts to tip the other players cubes. I ended up winning the first set of matches via use of the mustache sticker (I covered all the platforms and some wall area w/ mustaches... it was rather hard to tell what was flat ground on the cubes, or where you were at all

)

The second set of matches... was awful lol. I don't regret losing, it was all fair and square, but I pretty much tanked that round.

@Burn:

Yeah, I know.

Which is why originally I was angry about 1st loss until I realized once it begins anything goes even that. ^^ Lol. So the first loss I admitted then was a mistake on my part due to misunderstanding, which I admit in his copy and pasted comments of mine as legitimate.

But the 2nd loss he didn't mention what he did and it occured before all players were ready which means there is no anything goes if the round hasn't even started. And the rules for every round he would make sure players were ready and didn't begin until they confirmed they're ready. So the problem here is he doesn't acknowledge it and makes it sounds like im a poor loser and like sib and inan only agreed to redo for peace rather than mrrad did wrong.

Yea Mr R, Hana's right

and @ hana, u know we didn't want a redo just for peace. We knew it wasn't fair

>
@Burn-lol i had resources and knew what you'd attempt

mwahahaha lol jk, but really i did know xD
@Mr R, yea the sake of keeping peace is completely wrong Mr R. I did want peace, but that's not at all why i wanted to redo. I didn't find it fair how she lost, and i thought she deserved a fair chance of winning. ALSO, about Duffluc. Since the beginning of the season, i became great friends with Duffluc. Since week 1, he asked me to be in an alliance.
I trusted him, he trusted me, i play a game of fairness. He asked me to try to keep him in the game, I did. I know people may say, "That was a mistake", but to me it wasn't. I know i know, i lost to him, but hey, second place is just as good to me

First, I mentioned it somewhere that I'm writing this off of my somewhat fuzzy memory of what happened and asked for anyone involved to pipe in whenever I either missed something or got something incorrect. The postings that I'm re-posting were chosen because they were either really interesting or really conveyed the atmosphere at the time. In the case of posting what you posted, I could have just written one sentence about how you wanted to quit after the challenge, but your reaction was so... intense... that I felt people needed to see it to believe it. It also shows how varied different people's reactions to the stress of this game are. I already mentioned how RockSauron felt cheated in an earlier challenge. He spoke to me online about what he felt, and we eventually worked it out. Like I said... big variation in how people react to similar stressful situations.

Regarding why we re-did the challenge, there's an awesome chance I'm wrong about why Inan and Sib wanted to restart. I might have been injecting a little of my own feelings into this one. One of the reasons I started putting anything goes into the rules for some challenges is so people couldn't complain if something unusual happened in their challenge. I always tried to keep things as consistent as possible. So figure if I have to redo a run because someone complains, then what's fair about not redoing runs anytime anyone complains?

I wouldn't be surprised if the text was what knocked you out. It wasn't meant to be intentional. What I remember was me and Inanimacy joking around and just having a good time with the ridiculous things happening.

I'd like to have duffluc and koneko weigh in on what they felt was going on, but with everything that I saw, and everyone that I talked to, it really seemed like Hana had taken over while duffluc was gone. At the very least, I know that Inanimacy followed Hana.

While we're at it...

Challenge 11... I figured that it would be DJKrimz or Doopz eliminated next. Those were the only two without any real connections, so that's what made sense to me. But things continued to get weird. Duffluc's name was becoming a more serious option for elimination.

Before we continue... THIS ISSUE WITH WHO BROUGHT UP DUFFLUC'S NAME WAS NEVER COMPLETELY RESOLVED. I THINK THERE'S A GENERAL CONSENSUS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED, AND I'M GOING TO PRESENT WHAT I SAW AS COMPLETE AS I CAN. IF ANYONE KNOWS SOMETHING ELSE, HAS OTHER OPINIONS, OR SEES INACCURACIES WITH WHAT I SAY, FEEL FREE TO POST.

I regret that I didn't keep better notes when this was happening. Two threats were eliminated in a row. From what I was being told, and with a little deductive reasoning, I figured that it was Hana that was leading the charge to vote for Duffluc. Reasons why - DJKrimz, Doopz, and twar never really got involved with the strategic portion of the game and either voted how they were told, or just forgot to vote. Inanimacy was super loyal to Hana and generally followed her vote. After their interactions in season 3, Koneko was entirely loyal to duffluc. This left sib and Hana...

The challenge was a tournament style shooting competition. Awesomely enough, the random selection had Duffluc and Hana face off in the first round. Duffluc won that round, but eventually fell to Inanimacy in the final.

Duffluc eventually found out about what was going on. I'm not sure on the specifics of how it turned, but koneko and duffluc decided to vote Hana. Sibtiger... ended up in the middle. He had loyalty to both sides... and didn't help himself out by continuing to assure both sides he was with them. He finally chose to stick with his original alliance partner duffluc and Hana was eliminated.

Don't get me wrong. I totally think Hana had the right idea with trying to get rid of duffluc. I probably would have gone for that myself. I had a feeling that if he made the finals, he'd win. Look how that turned out. Same goes for koneko. No idea why no one wanted to get rid of her.

Aftermath and more soon. Remember, feel free to add anything you want.

Also, I'm 100% sure that Sibtiger isn't trying to kiss any a$$ at this point... same as he wasn't during the game...

100%!

Lol, no worries mrrad. Just a mistake.

I am not bothered that you posted those messages I left in group, plus it makes a season recap interesting getting the nitty gritty stuff in. But the left out part made that info not entirely true. That was issue.

As for the anything goes, it always confuses me because even in reality TV when a challenge is anything goes, there is still always a limit of some sort which the players are made aware of. That's why the hosts usually explain what exactly defines anything goes. For example if someone thought theyd take the lead by punching someone in the eye they would be kicked off the show. Although any limits between rl and game are different but still there.

Also I didn't take the lead on anything. I've always been more a follower than a leader except when it comes to extreme platforming. That's why in every season of Survivor I've been in I never start alliances. I only accept if someone asks. I did express to sib that once alliance was over I planned to vote Duffluc. Sib led me to believe lots of things though I was suspiscious because half the things he said didnt make sense and made himself sound as though something fishy was going on, like he wouldn't give clear answers and expressed uncertainty of our alliance. That right there told me something. But I still stuck with it because I had no plans on backstabbing. My vote against Rock was due to things sib told me. In the beginning I was following Duff, Rock, sib etc when I was asked by sib or Duff, dont remember which, to join alliance. Then close to merge and on sib started explaining to me what was going on with the alliance. Before that Duff was the one keeping me up to date. And at merge sib restated who was in it and apparently Rock wasn't. Because of my follower ways I never thought to ask Rock myself because I trusted sib and went with what he said. I regret it now because Rock wasn't the only one cheated, so I ended up out in a similar way. At merge sib came to me saying himself, kone, and Inan wanted to take me with them to top 4. So I believed it and as far as I knew that was alliance I was in, but apparently there was double one I found out about quick and sib mentioned that one too a round or 2 after merge began. It was all confusing. So I was not going to vote against anyone from alliance. I also wasn't going to vote for Duff until the other alliance broke, that was until sib clearly expressed betrayal in his manner of things before the vote of of me even occured. It would break first since it consisted of more players, so I talked to sib about once that broke since Duff would not be in his other alliance anymore we should vote off Duff. But I knew something was up when sib wasn't sure about that, then other suspiscious comments like " I hope I don't lose any friends soon.

" as though he was clearly hinting at me being angry with him about something he planned in future since he wasn't sure, and also kept saying about not voting for Duff. And to add further to his odd behavior/lying about 4p alliance, kone told me in PM she didn't know of this other alliance. She only knew of the one that started before merge. That was the biggest thing that gave it away.

BTW, I am not angry at sib anymore. I hate repeating this because it sounds like I'm holding malice towards sib when really I am just restating facts since you were unsure of things for recap.

As for you being unsure why I was only one voted for Doopz, it was because I was voting off the less active first. Before I started voting against threats (with exception of Burn that I voted against when I was still voting inactives), I was voting off inactives. I also thought about keeping some threats in for a challenge because if my plan worked and I made top 4 I was no longer going to make myself look like no threat to avoid votes. But that idea was dumb and risky since not knowing what challenges then could be, I could lose even when using full potential if its not a strong point of mine and there was less platforming this season compared to 1st I was in, and even then you made the VERY little platforming this season involve things even pro players dont deal with on a daily basis, or most players for that matter. So I switched to threats after that completely ignoring any leftover inactives.

Inan wasnt following anyone. He just didn't plan to backstab anyone in this 4p alliance sib mentioned. Plus before competition started Inan and I being good friends thought it would be cool if we both made finals. When sib betrayed alliance Inan was angry, and of course I was. I had told him a few rounds earlier I wouldn't trust sib as hes acting weird, but he said 'sib, kone and other he mentioned are good and trustful people', so by backstabbing alliance sib also insulted Inan with the way he led Inan to trust him.

Also you mention after the round where I faced Duffluc that Duffluc found out about me. I think sib might have told Duff about my plan of avoiding winning my matches until top 4. Because after that I had told sib I was happy and how I noticed I was beating Duff so at end I made a lot more shots miss so he won, and explained how I did this in many rounds except my match with Burn which I used full potential because I was eager to be only one that's beaten him in a challenge which is why I asked to go against him. So to this day I think that may also have to do with why I got so many votes after I revealed that to sib to vote me off. I regret trusting sib. I shouldn't have said anything. Inan even knew of my plan because I would always say I didn't need to practice before the rounds because my plan didn't need it. Only rounds I did play around with before round started was the jetpack one against Burn and the slap other players off from blocks. Diff reason for those two.

Anyways I think I covered everything.

Hey Hana, if you press your ear close enough to your keyboard can you here its pleading cries begging you to stop torturing it with your repeated keystrokes?

Im joking but holy cheesestrings that's a big wedge of text cake you got there. I feel faint just thinking about thinking about reading it.

ok this was actually why me and Hana never really made up :/ I actually almost quit Survivor because i felt sick to my stomach about choosing to eliminate her. HOWEVER, i had my reasons. Hana was a huge threat, and yes so was Duffluc, but he was my first and most loyal alliance. I trusted Duffluc alot more than i trusted hana, which is why i stuck with him. Hana over reacted, and a huge confrontation came up. I kept getting all the heat, nearly to the verge of quitting survivor. Couldn't sleep at night or anything!
Also, Duffluc was my best friend on Survivor. Hana and Inan never really were true friends to me, i always had the suspicion that they would turn on me BECAUSE Hana sent me a message. The message said IF WE WEREN"T IN THIS ALLIANCE, I WOULD"VE VOTED ON YOU, wouldn't you feel threatened?
Also, I knew Inan would stick with Hana.
It was Hana's idea to try to take out Duffluc. I have to admit, if she had came to me first, then i would've gone along with it, however, he was my friend, and i dont play like that (although some may disagree, but they just dont understand) I was in an ugly position, and i knew that either way, i was gonna get bit in the butt. Friendship was the main thing lost, which is why i hurt so bad. Hana still doesn't understand, but that's just her.
By the way, what do u mean kissing somebody's butt? lol i dont quite understand
