Fruitbat | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 11:17 am     I don't think for a minute that the staff pours over threads on message boards. I assume they scan for the general response and flavor of the atmosphere all their changes are producing. My theory includes a staffer picking up on a possible leak with Acme's predictions. |
Aussiedeb | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 11:23 am     Oh man I even read Acme's spiel they have where they actually said that they might be wrong this week, etc... Here is part of what they said: There is one streak that is really bugging me: The ABT. Honestly, how is a good-natured cyber denizen supposed to make a living in those fantasy games with us around? We've been rocking so hard you can only sit back and gawk. Yeah, yeah, it's pissing me off too. Our only hope is, maybe we're wrong this week. We've spoiled long and hard, but maybe this is the week it all ends. We've had a good run and if Vee sets her weave on fire and has to be airlifted out then we will just gawk at the TV like everyone else and be excited again. It can usher in a new age of innocence. Or not. We could just be right again. I don't know what to hope for anymore. I will promise we did our best to get it right with all of that ABT Batcave-like technology and our several tiny smooth brains placed together to form one adequate brain focused purely on spoiling the show. We've done our best and we can do no more. One of these days we're going to fail with the bootee (c'mon, that RC stuff is nothing but parsly) and we're going to be ok with that. The streak will be over and few of us may jump off tall buildings, but I assure you the ABT will survive to provide the best spoiling money can buy! (don't think too hard about that. |
Hippyt | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 08:56 pm     Here's my theory on Acme: 1)They are all young,and computer savvy,look at any Survivor game,you will see a connection.I can personally point you to these people on leaderboards in at least 4 games! 2)They have a mole. (But it didn't work out for them this week!) 3)They are also very good spoilers! These people take this waaay more serious than we do,I'd say they have a sub-culture! 4)We will Never know if our theories are correct,because we'll never be able to verify it!!! I've even read theories that Acme is MB ! |
Tntitanfan | Sunday, April 28, 2002 - 01:04 pm     I am STILL getting the message at Acme that the predictions for episode NINE are not available yet! Why do they hate me? Does anyone have any suggestions what to do? I am a webbie, but I have been able to get it before with no problems - |
Gina8642 | Sunday, April 28, 2002 - 01:25 pm     Tntitanfan, I've had the same problem for several weeks, so you are not alone. Unfortunately I do not have a solution. Their pick just won't show on Thursday for me, at work or at home. I can get in the next day (Friday), but not on Thursday. To find out their picks I go to the SS board's Spoiler section. Acme's picks are listed on a thread called "Across the Board Picks". The post doesn't give all the text, but it does show their picks. So far, the SS board has been highly reliable - it is speedy - even just before the show. |
Rabbit | Sunday, April 28, 2002 - 02:03 pm     Well, If lovin' you is wrong I dont want to be right ... No wait, I mean, Acme, I dont need no stink'n Acme. So my picks may suck, forget the "may" part, but they are mine and I get them the old-fashioned way. I pull up the deadpool pick screen and lean over my keyboard. I then drink five Old-Fashions with a Nyquil chaser (see I gots this cold). Wherever my cute little fuzzy nose comes to rest, that's my pick! Now I understand that some of you in the Alliance might be a little upset about my 46 out of 50 placement. Please feel free to write me at my email address kissmyfuzzytail@hotmail.com with any suggestions, but I must tell you that I will resort to actually watching the show before I let Acme make my picks. |
Hippyt | Sunday, April 28, 2002 - 10:39 pm     Rabbit,it's all fun! We love you! |
Wink | Monday, April 29, 2002 - 03:01 am     Cute tale Rabbit. |
Fruitbat | Monday, April 29, 2002 - 04:17 am     Brilliant, Rabbit. Pure Science. |
Tntitanfan | Monday, April 29, 2002 - 06:27 am     I need better instructions for finding the "Across the Board Picks" thread Gina mentions above. When I go to the SS home page, I don't find a "spoiler" section listed - SS is SurvivorSucks, right? Any help would be appreciated by this dense webbie! |
