I have received hundreds of e-mails and many bribes wondering when I am going to start my next game. Actually, that's a slight exaggeration. So far, let me count here, I've received no e-mails and two bribes to leave the board entirely.
I'm aware there are other Survivor games that have or will be started, so this one will be different and not conflict with those. Feel free to participate in more than one.
This is a game we tried on another board during SII and it was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd try it here.
The rules are simple: pick a Survivor and defend them in this thread or in the contestant threads. Only one player per Survivor, so only 18 can play. Once a Survivor has been selected, if you want to play, you will have to pick someone else. In other words, first come, first served. Others can comment as they see fit. The trick is though: NO MATTER HOW BIG A JERK OR NONENTITY YOUR SURVIVOR MAY TURN OUT TO BE, YOU HAVE TO DEFEND THEM.
The winner of this game, then, is the one whose Survivor wins the whole thing. So, you can pick your Survivor based on who you think will win or on who you like or on who you think would be the most fun to defend. The only other rule is this is all in fun. Feel free to poke each other with a stick, but know where the line is. It would ruin it if this were ever to be taken seriously.

I'm picking Amber to defend for the following reasons:
1. She was the one who I had the unenviable job of defending the first time and I enjoy a challenge. Also it irked people that I wouldn't admit she was a nonentity and that I found her full of wit and wisdom.
2. Her hometown is Beaver, PA.
3. Her last name seems to be missing a vowel.
4. She used to be cheerleader, a vocation I have the highest respect for.
5. It's time someone who has no strategy whatsoever, stares vacantly at the others while they plan and scheme and is apparently mute, won the game.

Okay, so Amber's taken. That leaves 17. Sign up if you dare.

Oh Great!!! another Adven game.

I'll volunteer to be the official scapegoat. If the person you are defending does something totally indefensible, you can just blame me! :):)

I want Lex!!!!! I will never miss a chance to run around the board chanting, GO LEX!!! or WIN LEX!!!!. His tattoos are cool, he play's to win, and last time I was one of a very small group rooting for him to win.

GO LEX!!!!! WIN LEX WIN!!! LEX ROCKS!!!

I guess I just a sucker for the Survivor games! Count me in. I select Rudy (he'll probably be voted off first):

1. I dn'know
2. I dn'know
3. I dn'know

Okay, four are now taken:

Adven - Amber
Landi - Rupert
Jeep - Rudy
And I believe Wargod mentioned in passing that she wouldn't mind having Lex. She's also chosen him for this game.

Next? 14 to go.

Ok, I'll play. I have to, since War picked Lex. I have to be able to defend myself from her upcoming attacks about how great Lex is, even though he Sux.

I'm also a sucker for these types of games.

I'll pick Colby. I'm picking Colby because:

1) Rupert has already been taken
2) So has Rudy.
3) I wanted to pick Kathy, but it would have been for entirely the wrong reason.
4) Colby plays the game full bore--with the intent of winning everything possible--no hiding behind the concept of not appearing to be weak when in fact he isn't.
5) I believe in the idea that to be number one, you have to beat the best of the competition.
6. Lex suxs rox.
7. At least colby is on Kathy's team.
8. Colby is on Richard's team, and will hopefully make frog oatmeal out of him as soon as possible.
9. Colby won't whine like a banshi (ala Lex) if he gets any votes against him.
10. it beats trying to defend Jerri's actions!

Colby plays the game full bore???? He handed the whole game over to Tina without even trying to win!

Oh, this is gonna be so much fun, lol.

Lex Rocks!!!!!!

I'm sure Rudy will make mincemeat out of all those young wipper-snappers! His vast knowledge and experience in the game will give him the advantage. S1 was just a practice run!

Frog oatmeal, Lance?

Lancecrossfire

Tuesday, January 13, 2004 - 11:59 am   Edit Post Move Post Delete Post View Post    
It's a term from the movie "The French Connection". A couple folks wanted to turn Gene Hackman's knees into "frog oatmeal". I'm thinking that would be a bad thing for him. I kind of liked the term after that.

Colby chose to go against a stronger player by choosing Tina over Keith. It's a chance Colby was willing to take. Personally, I would have voted for Colby if I was on the jury--he won every reward and immunity challenge once they became 1 tribe. For me that counts a lot. And if that isn't playing full bore, I don't know what is.

Jeep, I think Rudy has the chance to do that. I'm hoping he picks someone else to side with besides Richard. He kept his word to Richard, and didn't even get a thank you from him.

my rupert is gonna make mincemeat out of all of you'se! and he'll do it while getting everyone to love him and vote for him when he gets to the final two ALSO!! rupert has something that the other people don't have. recent experience. these other folks have had too much time away from the game. he's soooo ready to avenge!

Landi, maybe Rupert and Colby will join forces once they become one tribe. I could see them both respecting each other. I could also see Rupert appreciating the way Rudy plays the game.

Of course if that happens, I'll have to defend Colby here.

And part of my defense will of course be to say that Lex Sux.

Jeep

At least, to start out, Rudy isn't on the same team with Richard. So, hopefully he'll team up with someone else before he meets Rich.

I almost picked Tom. Isn't he the "feather-in-the-butt" guy? He's a character, too.

Ruuuuuuudy! Ruuuuuudy! Ruuuuuuudy!

Wargod

Yep, Jeep, that was big Tom.

Rupert was cool, the whole family loved him. Rudy was the first Survivor I rooted for, the older guy out among all the kids. But, I've had the most fun rooting for Lex. He is fun to watch. Lex is gonna win this thing!

I want Alicia.

Oh do I have to say why? Do we start now? What have I gotten myself into.

I'm picking Alicia cause she has strength, brains, and attitude. She's basically another me.

Mocha, get insurance out on her. Someone may not appreciate having her finger stuck in their face and bite it off.

Okay - I'm gonna make this interesting. I will take Tom! I'll have to wait on posting all of my reasons, but my main one is because I've read today and in the past that people hate his accent.

Well, I have an accent, I'm from a rural "hickville" part of the country - and I'm not an idiot.

So, I'll take Tom and defend his antics till the end.

GAME ON! GO TOM!!!

Good choice Spy. I thought about taking Tom as well. I think he has an excellent sense of humor!! It is one of his best qualities. He also doesn't take himself seriously, although cares about a lot of things.

And the guy wore a feather in his butt crack. On purpose. On national television. What could be more worth defending than that???!!!

that's a lot of defending to do spy... it was an awfully big butt crack!

I want to play and I want Shii Ann. I promise over the next 3 weeks to learn how to spell her name correctly. :) I also promise over the next 3 weeks to make sure I can type GO SHII ANN in large red, green and blue letters. She will, no doubt, listen to every bit of instruction given this time. She will dissect it completely and make sure that she doesn't get blind-sided again. But for now....

GO SHII ANN

Taken from her profile -- "She also raised a prize-winning sheep as a member of Future Farmers of America." (It is obvious she can beat Tom.)

Lance, if no one acts stupid then Alcia won't need to put her finger in their face to snap them back to reality. Also wonder if Colby will pull a 'Colby' if he makes final 2? :)

Go Alicia!

My cousin with an IQ of 60 raised a prize-winning sheep in FFA. You are gonna have to do better than that, Sbw.

Game on!! Go Tom!!!
