If you all want my opinion, which I'm sure you don't, but whatever. I think letting this game fall apart over something so trivial would be a real shame. Probably adjust the rules so someone doesn't have to sit out two games in future or something?

More killing, less talking....

If the game ends here, I would like to declare myself as the winner. Anyone who disagrees can find me in the zone. :cool:

Seriously?!?!?! I have had nothing but trouble trying to get back into this forum, trying to figure out whether I could send answers in or have to screw my team, and after all this mess I'm finally able to get back in and for what, this!?! Wow. I was really starting to enjoy this game too.

Oh, boooooooooooooo. Noooooooooooooooo.

If it helps, I can sit out instead of Dude. I can understand the frustration around him sitting out twice.

Let's get back to killing!!!

Even though I've been eliminated, I've still been keeping track...I see nothing unfair here. If Rayne wants out, I think that should be her decision. Otherwise, this is still the same game that brought the forum back together twice before - why let it tear us apart now just because of a few people not paying enough attention? _V_ has made everything perfectly clear at every stage.

Consider this a prayer to It - let the madness continue!

Well then, I guess it's not 'closed' because...

Avi, I love you like my own family and you know that, so you also know that I'm not trying to upset you.

1) If you were truly biased, I would win every Battle Royale...It's okay, you don't have to admit it, we all know it's true :p <-- That means I'm joking, laugh with me, it helps to break up the tension

2) Rather than 'biased', I felt you were a little too lenient a couple of times, and that I wouldn't have been so generous if I were the game master...BUT, I am NOT the game master, this is YOUR game, so I didn't say anything because it's not my place, and honestly it wasn't that big a deal.

3) The reason I spoke out when I did is:

A 'sit-out' isn't supposed to be a penalty...If a person has to be chosen to sit out it's because their team did BETTER than the other teams, and they didn't have as many (or any) deaths...Instead of a penalty, it's a necessary inconvenience to keep things even, and I believed that was why the hit (it IS a hit, a sit-out loses HPs) is shared by everyone, as we all take turns.

To make someone sit out twice, is an undue penalty.

I also believe that if you have to make someone sit out, the choice should be fair, unbiased, and should not benefit someone else...This was why my team didn't submit any consideration for the last sit-out.

You have always handled this perfectly and evenly in the past, so I am confused as to why you would alter your system.

Everyone knew they would choose Dustin, and I was expecting you to tell them that he already took his turn, then they would have chosen Sarah, because she won't follow their agenda either...Which would have been fair, because she hadn't sat out yet.

I guess I was just disappointed that you allowed it...But, like I said, YOU are the game master, you have every right to conduct the game however you want, but the game that I thought I agreed to play was a bit less 'stacked' than this.



You and I always try to do things equanimously, and we also speak up when we feel something is off-kilter...That's what has happened here, I felt this one action was "unfair", not that YOU are...Please don't punish the other players because I made an objection...The remnants of my team are damned good players, they are really into the game, they play LEGITIMATELY, and they play for THEIR team, and no one else's...They are also ready to tear each other apart as soon as they go solo.

If nothing else, at least let us see what happens with all of these new people...It has been extremely interesting so far...In fact, I almost would have felt bad about shooting Straker when (if) the time came ;) ...I have to admit that I have been very impressed.

And let's be honest...I'm dead anyway...I didn't ask my team to protect me, I left it up to them to decide if they wanted to or not...They all know that I'm a target, and they chose to keep their HPs...While I feel I am an asset to their team, I also acknowledge the fact that I would be a daunting solo opponent...My team knows this, too.


If you are upset with me, and you want to respond with something negative, please yell at me privately, or you will completely screw up the 'feel' of this post :p


@Vampenguin: You just HUSH...I have spoken up in other Battle Royales when something was in MY team's favor, but was against YOUR team, if that 'something' seemed unfair...Who isn't "paying attention"?...Fair is fair...Winning or losing doesn't mean shit if it's not legitimate.

I'm not saying that it was unfair but our team did kinda get the screw job in the beginning of the game.We should have been the third team to go into the hunting zone but instead we where first since the other two teams got out of going into the hunting zone for the first two challenges.

I agree with this. Change it from now on and just continue the game otherwise normally. To be honest, some of us are more competitive than others, and keeping HPs from someone who is known to be very smart is good tactics. You don't see me whining that I get shot by everyone in site every round, but I don't exactly like it. Maybe we should implement a rule where we have to shoot a different person every hunting grounds too. Just to make things fair. :rolleyes:

Agreed. There's no need to close it completely V! I haven't died yet, which is a first. I've never made it past the first team swap around, and I'm sure Rayne doesn't want it to end yet either.
