FF Survivor - Game Thread

[Crumb]

-= PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOU ARE NOT A PLAYER. =-

:stranded:

You are all stranded in the :ff:. :ohno: You will begin the game divided into two teams and will compete to keep you and your team mates in the game. Feel free to communicate with any other players via PM or in the thread.

:teacher:

We will play a series of weeks. Each week will consist of a challenge and a vote. The vote will determine which player will leave the game. The team challenges will decide which team will have to vote someone off.When we get to two players, all players previously voted off will vote for the winner of the game. The winner of the game will get their choice of an item from the FF store, or their choice of a charity for me to donate to in their name.

Here are the teams: :mvp:

Team A:
SharonDee
1Samuel8
Megatron
Leesifer

Team B:
LadyShea
Demimonde
Kael
beyelzu

My next post will describe the first team challenge. The team that wins the challenge will get to pick names and smiley mascots for both teams. The team that loses the challenge will have to vote off one of their players.

I will post the first challenge before I go to bed this evening.

Good luck!

Getting #1 should mean a special medal or something. Not just because it will be difficult to find. Have you seen how quickly liv loses it when she gets caught out in a grammatical error? :egad:

I misread the flow in my haste to get mine up. I saw he only gave you credit for two, and I knew you had posted three. Didn't have time to wrap my head around it, and was freaking when Sharon got her last one up.

Team Challenge: FF Scavenger Hunt

Official results:

Team A: 8
Team B: 9

Congrats to Team B. You guys should get to work choosing a name for your team and for your vanquished opponents. Decide in private if you wish, and PM me your final choice.

Team A: Each member PM the name of one of your team mates. Votes will be anonymous, but the totals will be published in thread. The team mate with the most votes will be out of the game. :sadbye:

[Kael]

Bloody hell. I get five minutes to check the forum in between classes, and not only do I have a bunch of PMs about what the team has already found, but the challenge is over and done. I guess these are gonna be short 'weeks' then, huh?

Well, they won't all be that quick. It will depend on the type of challenge.

Team Challenge: Wiki Degrees of Separation

- Each team should turn in exactly three chains. The shortest three you can find linking the Wiki page on the left to the page on the right. (In the style of this thread: Wiki Degrees of Separation - Freethought Forum (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16944))

- You cannot use dates, and the links followed have to be in the body of the Wiki page.

- Submissions will be by PM to me. Please coordinate with your team so I only get three submissions. (Sorry spectators the thread won't be nearly as active as in the last challenge.)

The team that is able to link three of these with the fewest total number of steps wins this challenge. The losing team will have to vote off a player.

Here are the subjects to link:

Barak Obama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barak_obama) :rarrow: Mesoamerican pyramids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_Pyramids)
Nick Cave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Cave) :rarrow: Necrophilia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrophilia)
American football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football) :rarrow: Suicide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide)
Socrates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates):rarrow: Dog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogs)
Ford Motor Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Motor_Company) :rarrow: Triskaidekaphobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskadecaphobia)
Novel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novel):rarrow: George Washington Carver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Carver)

I'm sure some of these are harder than others, so choose wisely. You only have to submit three.

You have until Thursday, March 26th at 3pm Pacific to submit your answers to me by PM. (The challenge will end sooner if I get all submissions early) Good luck!

[Megatron]

Oh god I hate this game.

Fuuuuuuuck.

[Crumb]

Ok well that's a good one, but can you edit it out this is for private submission!

[Megatron]

I did almost immediately after posting it...

Damn you, you're confuuuuusing meeeeee!

[Crumb]

Sorry, I wrote and bolded it in the instructions. Each challenge will be different.

[Megatron]

It doesn't help that I'm borderline illiterate.

[Crumb]

No, I suppose that would make things difficult. :sadyup:

[Demimonde]

Holy crap, and here I am working on a history paper! I thought that we were just doing this every Monday. Well, lemme get to work!

[Demimonde]

For clarification, does the flow have to be one way? I mean to say, if the following wiki has a link to the preceding article does it count? Or does the preceding article have to link to the following one?

EX:

peanuts to elephants, if the peanut article does not link elephants but the elephant article links peanuts, does it count?

[Crumb]

Has to go one way. Don't neglect your history paper. :)

[Demimonde]

:tired: I finished it.

Thanks for the gentle nudge away from the forum! I needed to get back at work, but :ff: can be like crack sometimes.

Now all I want is ...

Shit That Was Close :darn:
Barack Obama -> United States -> North America -> Mesoamerican Pyramids

American Football -> United States -> Ernest Hemingway -> Suicide

Nick Cave -> The X-Files -> Necrophilia

3 + 3 + 2 = 8 links


The :ff:uckers win again! Congratulations to the :ff:uckers getting three of them down to two links each! :victory: And for winning the first two challenges. Good work!

Unfortunately for Shit That Was Close you need to vote off yet another player. :( Please PM your votes to me.

[LadyShea]

I give Demimonde the credit for this one. I produced several chains, all much longer!

[Demimonde]

:hug: Thanks LadyShea!

I'm calling them rounds instead of weeks now to reduce confusion. :yup:

The votes are in and the next :ff: survivor that is out of the game is SharonDee. :sadbye: We will miss you Sharon. You will also get to vote for the winner when we get to a final two.

It is time for a team switch-up. One random member of Shit That Was Close will be moved to :ff:uckers. And two random :ff:uckers will go to Shit That Was Close. :D

The new teams are:

Shit That Was Close :darn:
Leesifer
Demimonde
beyelzu

:ff:uckers :lolhog:
LadyShea

Megatron moved to :ff:uckers. Demimonde and beyelzu moved to Shit That Was Close


The next round will not begin until Monday. It will be more in thread interaction than ever, so get ready. :cool:

I will miss you two almost as much as I will enjoy kicking your asses*

(*Going on the assumption that shit talking is appropriate in all kinds of competitions)

- Players can ask as many yes or no questions about the smiley as they wish.

- Each player can guess the smiley by posting ("I guess that the smiley is :blah:") Each player only has one guess per smiley so be careful with your guess.

- The first team to get 4 smilies right wins this challenge.
