Everyone enjoy their Sunday. New challenge will be posted tomorrow morning!

Alright Castaways, another week done, another challenge completed, and another elimination closer to an awesome Survivor winner banner and a handsome cash prize! It's time to reveal this week's answers and announce a team winner. We were separated by one point guys. ONE POINT. This game has been neck and neck!

Okay, so for you nosey bodies not playing that have been just dying to figure out who these people are (*cough @kryssyy cough*), here's your answers!


The winner this week with a score of 11 is...

Our other team, whom did EXCEPTIONALLY WELL also, scored 10 points. We were about to have to break out all that dirty mud wrestling.

Unfortunately, it's time to do those eliminations. The rules this week for another DOUBLE elimination are...

• I need two unique names from your team that you would like to see leave the game this week.
  
• I will need these names sent to me in a pm by Saturday, Feb 6 at 11:59 pm pst (daily thread change).
• The challenge this week were submitted by @MerryLou making her your team captain for the week. She submitted in plenty of time, so she's granted immunity.
• If you do not send me any votes, it will count as two votes for yourself.

WARJLords...

This will leave us 9 to 7 again. So you know the drill. Time for more team shuffling!

• You will need to decide among yourselves one team member to send over to the 5ALTY's.
• I will need this decision to be made by Saturday, Feb 6 at 11:59 pm pst (daily thread change).
• This name will be submitted once in this thread by @Lepi , your team captain for the week.
• If @Lepi fails to submit a name by that time, she will automatically be put on the 5ALTY's team.

Just a heads up for next week...going to have a pretty awesome challenge. You're going to need strong players to beat out the other team. It's going to be all physical grunt work next week with no MTCer voting again. So choose your teams and eliminations wisely!

That's it! I'll be awaiting your decisions over the weekend!

1. I like dirty mud wrestling.
2. I'd live off marshmallows.
3. Spiders are awesome.

I guess @Jaded !

Who are the WARlords?

Also, is there a reason we're doing two eliminations at a time, instead of letting the numbers dwindle naturally? Why do the teams have to have an even number?

There's not much incentive to win, we lose someone anyway.

This is it, exactly. Like, "yay, we won! Fuck, we're still being punished for winning."

WARJLords...

I apologize for the WARLords. It was an early morning post. Edited for my typo of sleepiness.

I originally made this a 16 week game. I was going to take 16, but offered to take more if there was more interest stating there were to be double eliminations to catch us up. This schedule was set up to run a game through the spring, break during summer and run a game through the fall again. I'd like to run 2 games a year.

Teams get shuffled all the time in these games. That's the nature of them, seeing as once we get to 9 players, there will not be any more team challenges. The winning team does not have to vote someone off so as they wouldn't win the prizes anymore. They just voting a team shuffle.

Again as stated originally too, this is the first game we've done like this and their might be some growing pains. If this game is run again, I will only be taking 16 players to run this as originally intended.

I want this to be fun and give people a way to socialize with others in the thread. It seems to have been a lot of fun thus far. Also, taking a few more in the first time around gave people a chance to see if they really wanted to do it. Both eliminations I have had people who wanted to step down and eliminate themselves, whether it be more involved than they wanted, getting a new job etc. If a second game is run, I think people more likely will know what they'll be getting themselves into.

The double eliminations will end after we're caught up to where we need to be in the original schedule.

I hope this resolves some questions the WARJLords might be having. I'm not here to have arguments or upset feelings. It's just a game guys, and I hope we can continue to play it without too much of a loud roar of complaints. Opinions and comments are always welcome, but let's keep any disrespect to a minimum. Not saying anyone has been, I just don't want this is get too crazy and @aveline or @kryssyy come shut us down.
