KING OF THE MOUNTAIN - OM Survivor II thread

[Old Dude]

Welcome to the Orange Mane Survivor II Thread - KING of the MOUNTAIN

Rules:

No prize for winning, except for bragging rights and personal enmity.

Each round, each of our 14 active contestants may PM me with one vote to kick one other contestant off the "mountain." Not every round will be based on voting. Later in the game, there may be other challenges to determine who stays and who goes.

RULE #1. I can change any rule any time I want, without notice to anyone. I am in charge. My assistant is Olddudetheyounger, who should be treated with the utmost pandering and respect because, in the event that I am not available to run a round or answer a question to resolve a dispute, he will be in charge. He is also crazy as a loon, however, so let's hope we don't need him too often. TheDave has been assigned by the network to act as our color commentator. TheDave, however, is not in charge of anything, and should not be trusted with confidential information by the players, because he may well barter the information for booze or broads or whatever he does in his spare time. And don't bother pestering him for inside info. He may get some, but I doubt he'll be able to understand it, let alone pass it on accurately.

RULE #2. Lifelines. In this game, getting voted off the Mountain does not automatically end your chance of winning. Anyone voted off the mountain goes from "active" status to "Dangling by a Thread" status, so long as they have a "Lifeline" to another player who is still "active" and on the mountain. If you are voted off AFTER your "Lifeline" has already been kicked off (or is himself dangling by a thread) then you are WELL AND TRULY DEAD AND CANNOT WIN although you may be able to get some measure of revenge later in the game as a member of the jury. Each of you will be secretly PMd by me, over the next few hours, with the identity of the person to whom your Lifeline is attached. Please be aware that Lifelines may or may not be reciprocal. In other words, just because you have a Lifeline attached to Player X, that does not mean that Player X has his lifeline attached to you. In fact, the chances are that he doesn't. The importance of "Lifelines" is this. Once we get deep into the game - down to just two or three active players left on the Mountain, I will check the active players and see who has Lifelines attached to them. Those few lucky persons will be hauled back up into active status and restored to the competition with a full chance of winning it. Please note, however, that Lifelines are not 100% failproof. There may well be a round or two in the game where one or more Lifelines may be involuntarily severed. If you are dangling by one of those when it is cut ... look out below.

RULE #3. Voting. All voting will be in PMs to me, unless I have designated Olddudetheyounger as the guest host for that particular round, in which case you PM your votes to him. Unlike the previous edition of Orange Mane Survivor, you will not be automatically disqualified if you fail to vote, or if you vote for an invalid target, or if you miss a deadline. Instead, in this game, in the case of a missed vote or a screwed up one, you will be deemed to have voted for yourself that round, and the "self-inflicted wound" will be treated just like any other. In cases of tie votes, the first tiebreaker will be self-inflicted wounds. Whoever has done that the most will be put out of their misery. Persons who are "dangling by a thread" are not entitled to vote (unless and until they have been hauled back up the mountainside) Nor can they be voted against.

RULE #4. I WILL NOT ACCEPT "PROXY" VOTES OR "CONDITIONAL" VOTES. These will be treated as "invalid votes" and will be counted as a vote against yourself. (A "proxy" vote is saying that "I'm going to vote the same way as PLayer X," or "PLayer X will cast my vote this round." etc.) (A conditional vote is saying, "I am going to vote against Player X unless ... etc. )

RULE #5. I will not accept "fractional" votes. You cannot cast 1/2 a vote against X and 1/2 a vote against Y.

RULE #6 DAYLIGHT AND BLACKOUT ROUNDS - - Each round will be pre-designated as either a "Daylight " round or a "blackout" round. Blackouts can be due to darkness or storms. At the end of a daylight round, I will post the results of the PM voting. I will post who got knocked off to "dangling by a thread"status and anyone who is WELL AND TRULY DEAD. I will also post a breakdown of the voting so that every person (including the audience) can see who every other person voted for that round. In "blackout"rounds, the breakdown will only include the number of votes each person received - - not the particular identities of the persons who cast those votes. Thus, if you are intending to pull off a major backstab of an ally, the blackout rounds are a good time to do it. I can tell you in advance that Rounds ONE, THREE and FIVE will be Blackout rounds.

RULE #7 CONTRACT KILLS. In the course of the game, players can earn "extra" votes. You can use your extra votes in any subsequent round when voting is allowed. You can cast them right away, or you can save them for a rainy day. You earn extra votes as follows. Each person will be secretly assigned two other persons as "contract kills." I will PM each of you with your randomly selected contract targets within a couple hours of this opening post. If one of your targets is knocked off the mountain (and delegated to dangling status) you earn one extra vote. (Think of it as an extra "bullet" for future use.) In order to earn this vote, you must have been one of the persons whose vote knocked the victim off the mountain. If you satisfy that condition then you will be awarded another extra vote if and when that person loses their Lifeline and becomes WELL AND TRULY DEAD whether or not you had anything to do with voting off their Lifeline buddy. Obviously, if a person has already lost their lifeline buddy when you knock them off, they immediately die the true death, and you earn both extra votes at once. Since you each have two contract targets, and because it is possible to earn two votes for each one, you could stockpile up to four extra votes. If and when you earn extra votes, I will PM you prvately to advise you about that. No one else wll know unless you tell them. Note that blackout rounds can be a good time to use your extra votes, since no one will usually know the source.

RULE #8 There is no Rule #8. Rule #7 killed #8 pursuant to a contract.

RULE #9 Game conduct. Bluffing, ridicule, taunting, etc. are all allowed, but use common sense. Don't post private info about people such as their addresses or real life affairs or out of bounds language. If things get out of hand, I will take steps.

RULE #9 Have fun, and don't take it too seriously. 13 of you are doomed to go down as big fat losers. It's all about the ratings. There can be only one KING OF THE MOUNTAIN.
And now, let's meet our brave cast of participants:

1. Anubis_Zyklon
2. baja fan
3. BizzyBone7
4. CBF1
5. ClarettNextTD
6. Denverfan4life
7. Faderproof
8. Hotrod
9. MajikMan7
10. missingnumber7
11. Ratboy
12. Ray Finkle
13. TD30
14. ZachKC

Within the next two hours, I will PM each of you with the names of the person your secret lifeline is attached to, as well as your two contract-kill targets.

VOTING MAY BEGIN AT ANY TIME.

VOTES FOR ROUND ONE ARE DUE BY NOON, MOUNTAIN TIME, FRIDAY.

Let the games begin ...

[missingnumber7]

Let the :gossip: and :twokisses begin.

[FADERPROOF]

Just a FYI, even though I dont feel that it's an edge or anything I still went ahead and got this done...I currently have all moderator priveledges disabled throughout the duration of this game.

[TheDave]

Survivor 2 kicks off…

Everyday on the streets I’m asked “how does it feel to play OM Survivor” my answer is always the same “I never played the game…I just won it”. The blank stares and turned up lips tell me all I need to know… This is not a game, but a feat of cunning and survival in the truest sense. A time where man, beast, and Costco Lube find a way to co-exist while the very thread of your existence hangs in the balance… A balancing act that few can manage and only one can win. My time on the island was long, hard, and often painful… but was it worth it? Would I do it again? Depends how much Survivor All-Stars pays (god knows it would need to be more than this $hit ass job).

Today we start the journey once again! Cause today 14 no-life, numb nuts that should all be putting in an honest days work will instead shunt all responsibility and begin their quest on a remote “virtual” mountain top where the most sacred competition in the annals of history will take place …. OM Survivor….

This has been TheDave for Survivor Network...

[BizzyBone7]

sounds like fun...good luck all

[Northman]

\m/ long live Metal and and the Northland King. mwah. hehe. :)

[Old Dude]

All of the secret info has now been PMd to the contestants. You should each have a PM from me listing your Lifeline anchor and your two contract kill targets.

If you don't have it, PM me asap.

[McDortoh]

Why is one of my contact kills Hotrod that just dont seem right ;D

Let the games begin

[Old Dude]

Turns out Rule 8 wasn't dead after all - - just dangling from a thread.

Rule 8 - TIEBREAKERS
In the event that two or more persons are tied for votes, the person to be kicked off will be determined by the following tiebreakers:

1. Most self-inflicted wounds. (most prior missed votes, invalid votes, etc., including the round in question)

2. Most prior votes against (ie most prior "wounds" of any sort- - not including the current round) - - This will obviously not apply in Round One.

3. The last person (of those who are tied) in the round in question to have submitted their vote to me. (Sometimes it pays to be quick on the draw).

[Ratboy]

Let the games begin. Good luck everyone.

[Ray Finkle]

Good luck all....

We are all going to die a long and painful death. I think I already have frostbite :(

[TD30]

Hey dave quit looking at my arse

[CBF1]

I wonder who is going to be the king of sausage this game?

[TheDave]

Hey dave quit looking at my arse

well that didn't take long...

[FADERPROOF]

I wonder who is going to be the king of sausage this game?

Hopefully no one...

[McDortoh]

When I signed up it was going to be a jungle island or something. Beaches would have been nice ;D Oh well I guess these long underwear will come in hand after all.

Good luck to everyone especially me ;D

[Old Dude]

Good luck to everyone especially me ;D

I'd keep a close eye on that long underwear. Especially any sets that you see tossed aside or buried in the snow, ripped up and bloody.

[McDortoh]

Not to make anyone paranoid but when you doctor an PM then forward it make sure you spell the "quoted" "persons" name correct rofl

[Old Dude]

And it's very important to remember that people can doctor messages they receive from me, just like they can doctor anyone else's. If you receive something that purports to be quoting me, I generally won't confirm or deny it.

But if it has me drastically misstating the rules of the game or something like that ... well, you can figure that one out for yourselves, I suppose.

The only official stuff from me that you can count on are (1) Things I post on the thread, and (2) Direct PMs from me to you.

[TheDave]

You can doctor PM's... the depths some people will sink to!

[OldDudetheYounger]

Recall Notice

The manufacturer of the safety rope provided to all contestants has sent out a recall notice for defective product. Sadly, due to the remote location of the contestants we are unable to replace the substandard rope and wish them best of luck. Try not to put too much stress on the rope as we need to return it intact for our money back.

Sorry management but your prolly not going to get your money back since I used my pocket knife to "doctor" some of the ropes already ;D

The good news is that we have hired an orchestra:

Ah, that's a pity. I guess we will have to economize on ration deliveries, tranquilizers for the sex-crazed yetis and medical services to make up for it.

[Rascal]

Ah, that's a pity. I guess we will have to economize on ration deliveries, tranquilizers for the sex-crazed yetis and medical services to make up for it.

I think in about a month the yetis are going to be the ones needing tranquilizers.

[McDortoh]

I think in about a month the yetis are going to be the ones needing tranquilizers.

Well Im always up for a good challange ;D

[OldDudetheYounger]

We've been keeping them tranquilized so far to prevent premature assaults on the contestants. Although it might be fun to watch 900lbs of hairy ape-beast sate himself on someone dangling from a rope. But all in good time!

Ha! You think you're safe, OD. That's what I thought too. He proceeded to deliver start a thread or else PM's. I refused, so he hijacked my quit smoking thread and added on to it and took away like 30 of my posts to make it go back down to 4k! The nerve!

Good luck to all you wackos who chose to participate in this madness. I ain't laying any v-bucks down on any of you because I got screwed in the last one.

[Mtbrncofn]

I doubt that they'll have to contend with a Mole. This will probably be a piece of cake ... a walk in the park ... a day at the beach ... compared to what the Survivor I folks went through.

Or maybe not.

[Old Dude]

Just a reminder.

Votes for Round One must be PMd to me by Noon, Mountain Time, Friday, April 15.

That's 23 hours and 6 minutes from now.

What's the weather report for the mountain on the first day of our contest? Our viewers want to know!

[Crushaholic]

"Alive" was such a warm, fuzzy family movie... Ha!

"Alive" was such a warm, fuzzy family movie... Ha!

I know lol, for some reason I'm feeling hungry

[TheDave]

Sorry ODY...

Todays weather outlook is a balmy -17 with a wind chill that could crack the -30 barrier. Because of budget constraints we were unable to get the Doppler in place but according to the local "Weatherman" he sad something about not even sending his worthless Gay Yack out into this... what ever that means. We recomend that all contestants stay in their tents unless properly clothed otherwise.

On the bright side we could easily hit 0 degrees by mid day tomorrow...

This has been TheDave with your Survivor Weather Minute

Sounds warm to me...remember...i'm from the tundra of ND and have lived through the oven of Iraq.

Frostbite: Prevention and Treatment
How to stay warm in the cold
By Rod Willard
Editorial From Couloir, Volume IX-2

After 23 hours on our feet, we collapsed into the tent, elation creeping through our exhaustion. We had completed a difficult route on Ama Dablam and returned safely despite the stove failing and an intense storm. As I removed my gloves to examine my partner's anesthetized feet, I could only stare in total disbelief. "Bloody Hell, your fingers look terrible!" uttered somebody. My fingers were deep blue, cold, and numb. Insidious and potentially crippling, frostbite is best prevented, but when it occurs, rapid rewarming and progressive long-term therapy can minimize the damage.
Frostbite occurs when the body's mechanisms for maintaining warmth fail. We have two defenses against the cold: physical changes and mental decisions. When initially exposed to cold the body reacts by sending extra warm blood to the area. But as the cold exposure continues, the core of the body begins to cool and the brain diverts warm blood away from peripheral areas such as arms, legs, and ears.

Prevention: Minimizing the risk
The brain is our best defense against the cold. You can reduce exposure to injury by making good decisions.

Nutrition and hydration play a large part in the body's ability to deal with cold. Stay hydrated (clear urine is the goal here) and eat plenty of good food to keep your internal fires stoked.

Be sure to have plenty of dry insulation that fits correctly. Too loose and air leaks create excess space to be heated. Too tight restricts blood flow.

Blood flow can also be restricted by mechanical pressure such as gripping a ski pole too tightly.

Alcohol and nicotine should also be avoided. Alcohol dilates your blood vessels, increasing the rate at which you lose heat. Nicotine constricts your blood vessels and causes premature cooling of your extremities. Furthermore, alcohol, altitude, low blood sugar, etc. can affect decisions you make to protect yourself from the cold. The majority of frostbite cases in America today do not happen to winter outdoor funhogs, but to homeless folks who have poor hydration, lousy nutrition, insufficient insulation, and may use alcohol and nicotine.

The last risk factor is prior cold injury, each time an area is frostnipped or frostbitten the circulation to that area is reduced.

I live in florida, I DIDN'T PACK FOR THE WEATHER!

[OldDudetheYounger]

Consequently, we will be airdropping cartons of smokes and a crate of cheapass vodka during round 1.

Consequently, we will be airdropping cartons of smokes and a crate of cheapass vodka during round 1.

LOL I was just going to say damn it I brought a cartoon of smokes and a case of beer. I was going to start selling it around day 3 and make a ton of cash while I was here.

[FADERPROOF]

Consequently, we will be airdropping cartons of smokes and a crate of cheapass vodka during round 1.

I don't smoke, so does that mean I get extra vodka?

And the next flight drop, can we request what kind of liquor we'd like to drink?

[OldDudetheYounger]

Additional information our contestants may wish to know...

At the altitude of base camp, we expect to see HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and/or HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema) amongst those lasting to the final rounds.

<center> What To Do If You Have AMS

</center> I cannot emphasize this too much. http://www.high-altitude-medicine.com/graphics/icons/tinystop.gif DO NOT ASCEND ANY HIGHER. http://www.high-altitude-medicine.com/graphics/icons/tinystop.gif Violating this simple rule has resulted in death.



<center> <table bgcolor="#ffcc00" border="3" width="85%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center" height="35"> GOLDEN RULE II.
Never ascend with symptoms of AMS.

</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

</center>
You will get worse, and you might die. This is extremely important - even a day hike to a higher elevation is a great risk. In every instance of the many cases of High Altitude Cerebral Edema I've treated, this rule was violated. Stay at the same altitude until your symptoms completely go away. Once your symptoms are completely gone, you have acclimatized and it is OK to continue ascending. It is always OK to descend, you will get better faster.






<hr width="75%"> <center> The Severe Forms of AMS

</center> <center> High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE)

</center> AMS is a spectrum of illness, from mild to life-threatening. At the "severely ill" end of this spectrum is High Altitude Cerebral Edema; this is when the brain swells and ceases to function properly. Obviously, this is a Bad Thing to have happen to you.

HACE, once present, can progress rapidly, and can be fatal in a matter of a few hours. Persons with this illness are often confused, and may not recognize that they are ill.

The hallmark of HACE is a change in mentation, or the ability to think. There may be confusion, changes in behavior, or lethargy. However, it is probably easier to recognize a characteristic loss of coordination that is called ataxia. This is a staggering walk that is identical to the way a person walks when very intoxicated on alcohol.

To test for this abnormal walk, have the sick person do a straight line walk (in medicalspeak this is called the "tandem gait test"). Be fair: do this on level ground, take off their backpack, and don't have them try it in big heavy boots. Draw a straight line on the ground, or have them follow a crack in the teahouse floor. Have them walk along the line, placing one foot immediately in front of the other, so that the heel of the forward foot is right in front of the toes behind. Try this yourself. You should be able to do it without difficulty. If they struggle to stay on the line (the high-wire balancing act), can't stay on it, or fall down, they fail the test and should be presumed to have HACE.

The treatment is immediate descent. This is of the utmost urgency, and cannot wait until morning (unfortunately, HACE often strikes at night). Delay may be fatal. The moment this is recognized is the moment to start organizing flashlights, helpers, porters, whatever is necessary to get this person down. How far down? At least to the last elevation at which they woke up in the morning with no symptoms of AMS. Bearing in mind that the vast majority of cases of HACE occur in persons who ascend with symptoms of AMS, this is likely to be the elevation the person slept at two nights previous. If you are uncertain, 500-1000 meters descent is a good starting point.

People with HACE usually survive if they descend soon enough and far enough, and usually recover completely. The staggering gait may persist for days after descent. If recovery has been complete, and there are no symptoms, cautious reascent is acceptable.



<center> High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE)

</center> Another form of severe altitude illness is High Altitude Pulmonary Edema, or fluid in the lungs. Though it often occurs with AMS, it is not felt to be related and the classic signs of AMS (http://www.high-altitude-medicine.com/AMS.html#GR-I) may be absent. Signs and symptoms of HAPE include any of the following:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Extreme fatigue</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Breathlessness at rest</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Cough, possibly productive of frothy or pink sputum</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Gurgling or rattling breaths</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Chest tightness, fullness, or congestion</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Blue or gray lips or fingernails</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

The treatment for HAPE is the same as for HACE: immediate descent. As with HACE, it is of the utmost urgency; delay may be fatal. The same rules apply for how far as well: to the last elevation where the victim felt well upon awakening.

Whereas HACE descent is complicated by confusion and staggering on the part of the victim, HAPE descent is complicated by extreme fatigue and possibly also due to confusion (due to inability to get enough oxygen to the brain). HAPE frequently occurs at night, and may worsen with exertion.

HAPE resolves rapidly with descent, and one or two days of rest at a lower elevation may be adequate for complete recovery. As with AMS, once the symptoms have fully resolved, cautious reascent is acceptable.

It is common for persons with severe HAPE to then also develop HACE due to the extremely low levels of oxygen in their blood (equivalent to a continued rapid ascent).

<center> <table bgcolor="#ffcc00" border="3" width="85%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center" height="35"> GOLDEN RULE III.
If you are getting worse, go down at once.

</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

</center>
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL MORNING. Descend at least to the elevation where you last felt well when you woke up.

<center> <table bgcolor="#ffcc00" border="3" width="85%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center" height="35"> GOLDEN RULE IV.
Never leave someone with AMS alone.

</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

</center>
People sick with AMS can get worse, and may need help descending, or may not recognize that they are getting sicker.






<hr width="75%"> <center> Things to Avoid

</center> Respiratory depression (the slowing down of breathing) can be caused by various medications, and may be a problem at altitude. The following medications can do this, and should never be used by someone who has symptoms of altitude illness (these may be safe in non-ill persons, although this remains controversial):
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Alcohol</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Sleeping pills (acetazolamide is the sleeping tablet of choice at altitude)</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20"> </td> <td valign="top" width="15"> -

</td> <td>Narcotic pain medications in more than modest doses</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

And the next flight drop, can we request what kind of liquor we'd like to drink?
Sure, requesting is not a problem. Delivery will be, unless of course you are requesting cheapass vodka. If you are nice, we may toss in a few sleeping pills and morphine too.

[McDortoh]

All I got out of that crap ODY posted was if the altitude is getting to you make your way down as fast as possible. Well that should not be a problem for someone tomarrow at noon ;D

PS I have no problem with cheep vodka heck cheap is great when its free ;D

[Old Dude]

Turns out Rule 8 wasn't dead after all - - just dangling from a thread.

Rule 8 - TIEBREAKERS
In the event that two or more persons are tied for votes, the person to be kicked off will be determined by the following tiebreakers:

1. Most self-inflicted wounds. (most prior missed votes, invalid votes, etc., including the round in question)

2. Most prior votes against (ie most prior "wounds" of any sort- - not including the current round) - - This will obviously not apply in Round One.

3. The last person (of those who are tied) in the round in question to have submitted their vote to me. (Sometimes it pays to be quick on the draw.)

(emphasis added.)

Not to pressure anyone ...

I'm just making it clear that in case we get to tiebreaker #3, the last person to get their vote to me is the one who hits the air.

[OldDudetheYounger]

All I got out of that crap ODY posted was if the altitude is getting to you make your way down as fast as possible. Well that should not be a problem for someone tomarrow at noon ;D

That's the spirit! Pay attention all you newcomers...that there is the makings of a champion!

I don't know why, but I just have the strange suspicion that the Survivor II contestants aren't communicating nearly as much with one another as the first group did. I think they might have some trust issues.

my thought is…the person who feels most secure in the 1st round is probably gone…and one note…..Zack won’t be voted off for awhile……just a hunch.

Well, just curious MHS ... (BTW, MHS finished sky high at #3 in the original series) ... how would you go about it if you were in this game? Would you try to make an alliance with your Lifeline Buddy? Or go straight after your contract kills? Or just ignore all that and find someone to make a deal with? Or just target those you thought most likely to crash & burn? Or the most dangerous?

[TheDave]

The State of the Game!

When I look down upon the most recent group of survivors one word comes to mind... What a bunch of Pathetic Pieces of $hit! This new group of "Survivors" couldn't hold us Old Timers jocks. When we played it was for the love of the game...The spirit of competition... and if nothing else a chance to get away from the wife and kids for a while... Now I'm constantly being harped on by agents and add executives looking to get a piece of this once sacred glory. How many times can a man say I'm not for sale.... Absolutely disgusting these parasites!

if it was up to me...obviously if a buddy everyone knew I would stick with was there I'd stick with him...but that isn't good enough...you have to find some alliances outside of that...b/c everyone knows you are buddies.

I'd go after the stronger players......which I think we should've done more...instead of getting people like Mock. Alec was a good 1st rounder.

but even in your alliance...assume you are going to get stabbed in the back.....

excuse me, it's hard to talk...that knife you put in my back pierced my lungs

I would be a little surprised, since you're not in the game. OTOH, the contestants might be feeling a little paranoid right now, so I guess even spectators could be at risk.

As darkness falls, the knives get busy.

[Old Dude]

Yes, TJ just changed his name.

Okay, I got it.

This is gonna play hell with my bookwork. But after the whole super-pimp episode in Survivor I, I guess I can deal with anything.

[Old Dude]

Darkness is definitely falling, the knives are definitely cutting and by Noon tomorrow, someone will take the slide and be hanging by a thread.

Official Rule Addition.

I thought I mentioned this in my original post, but apparently I forgot it.

Once you've cast your vote in a round, you don't get to change it.

I will allow exceptions only where you have cast an obviously invalid vote or were clearly on drugs when you sent in the first one.

[Ratboy]

Lets all put our vcash on ZachKC and let him win. you can never have enough vcash!

[CBF1]

Okay I made it.... Yes CBF1 has been silent as he is putting in 12 hours a day working a new contract.

I have been spending my spare time on the mountain peeing in the snow, Tanning wearing my new orange and blue thong..... I think Hotrod really likes it alot :)

I did get a love letter from Rascal and he did ask if I wanted the knife back he had surgically removed from his back, I said yes.

Private message updates: So far I have heard that about 5 guys are the target, almost everyone is paranoid already and no one knows what to do with their life line or kill list. Personally I want to kill my life line first... hate having someone making a living on my hard work.

MTF, Could you please stop by the mountain soon? I am getting a little wind and sun burnt and need someone besides one of these Meat gazers rubbing lotion on my body (where is the Dave when you need him) :)

Someone needs to stop my house, I forgot to feed my cat... and I left my hungry 17 foot python out and think the cat might be dinner soon.

CBF1 will trade his smoke and vodka rations for your vote.

[Ratboy]

Well we have a little over 12 hours till we find out who is being tossed down the mountain.

[CBF1]

Rat... Tell me it is not true, You have a 5 player alliance going? Sounds like you are painting a BIG target on your back.

Damn, Here we go with the pvt msgs, Looks like everyone is now officially worried. 179 in my box, time to dump them all.

[Ratboy]

No, Where did you hear that?

[Ratboy]

Rumors are flying now, aren't they?

[CBF1]

I just got a private message from ZachKC. He said he noticed my thong covered ass and was wondering if I wanted to stop by his tent later on tonight and talk about his Village People record collection and talk costco lube.

Dave, Should I be worried :)

Anyone seen my shaven Yeti?

[ZachKC]

I heard Patrick Surtain is voting off Ratboy. Via KFFL.

[MajikMan7]

I heard Ratboy was rolling with an alliance of six. Rumors sure are flying.

[Ratboy]

I knew Zach swung that way. Looks like i'm not traveling in front of him.

Oh man that went to you? I toatally meant to send that PM to Pezman. :dummy:

[CBF1]

No, Where did you hear that?

Got a email from missing #7 filling me in on the gossip.

[MajikMan7]

Last night was terrible on the mountain. I'm hoping I can have a wet dream to make tonight better than last night.

[CBF1]

Great, I am supposed to be meeting Pez this weekend for a beer, Now he and you are pillow biting buds?

Please excuse me while I repel down the face of this Meat Mountain :)

Is it gay pride weekend up in the mountians?

[CBF1]

Sick, Sick, Sick bastard. I will be getting my "Bribe" tonight in Anubis's tent, I might stop by afterwards.

Remember... What happens in the mountians, Stays in the mountains. :)

[Ratboy]

Can i jump off? ugh!~

What are the numbers in your sig line?

I've got nothing to hide.

[Old Dude]

In the early morning hours, while its still dark on the mountainside, your sleep is interrupted by the shrill screech of sirens, and you are all rustled out of bed by Chinese SWAT teams.

This is not a drill.

Repeat.

This is not a drill.

Stay tuned.

OldDudetheYounger, come to the bridge immediately.

[Old Dude]

Please Stand By.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

[BizzyBone7]

wait so is this a drill or not?

[Old Dude]

Im more concerned with the giant #6 on my siggy then any midget army right now.

Those Chinese guys are getting really animated right now. It looks like one of the players in our game is about to be executed on the spot.

[OldDudetheYounger]

Dang, I hate when that happens. I guess maybe I should not have gone through the Chinese gateway when I was surfing porn last night using the contestant's ISP.

*Edit* BTW the numbers in your sigs appear to be your contestant number. It will be tattooed on your necks as a bar code for easy body identification as the game progresses.

[McDortoh]

All I gotta say is bye bye CBF1 it was nice knowing ya ;D

[Old Dude]

Okay. Here is all I can tell the players right now.

1. All the votes are in for this round, except for TD30s. So someone grab him by the sleeve and get him to get his vote in.

2. The cops really have intruded into the game, and someone's in big trouble.

[McDortoh]

The suspense is killing me

[Old Dude]

Check that. He's not dead yet ... just undergoing an interrogation for a passport violation.

http://www.chinasupport.net/torture8.jpg

I'm being told the suspect is DenverFan4Life.

[McDortoh]

Bad boys Bad boys whatcha gonna do when they come for you.

[Old Dude]

Well, this is really going to throw a glitch into things.

The authorities are now interrogating a second suspect as well.

It appears that we are going to lose at least one member of the party - possibly two. Too soon to tell about that. I'm waiting for details ...

The question is what to do about it game-wise, how it will affect this round, and what to do about all the lifeline and contract kill assignments ...

[McDortoh]

Just stick a fork in him already err unless its me then dont.

[Ray Finkle]

Is this a bad omen or what, I have Griese's #....oh crap.

[OldDudetheYounger]

If the Chinese execute the two players, I would suggest starting over with new contract/lifeline assignments. Or simply reassign the links, replacing those to and from the dead player with those folks directly effected.

Ya completely change everything that would be just GREAT ugh!~

[Old Dude]

It has now apparently been confirmed that Denverfan4Life is a wanted international terrorist - also known as a "banned user account."

The question right now is whether or not he was also being used as an alter ego by another player in the game - -

And I'm sure the ramifications of that will be immediately apparent.

If it turns out that one guy was using two player entries to gather information, build alliances, coordinate votes, pass on classified information, and so forth, that would affect not just the raw votes, but the voting dynamics, as well.

Really a spectacular effort at cheating, which is okay with me, but since it violates forum rules, not so hot...

I could start everything over from scratch, as ODY suggests ... with re-assigned contract kills, lifelines, etc.

Or I could try to repair the damage with minor reassignments and just designate the detainee(s) as the official victim(s) for this round ...

Or we could just pretend this didn't happen and move on up the mountain, knowing that one or (maybe two) of the active accounts are actually disabled "stiff" accounts ...

Decisions.

that blows, I say keep moving on as is...

[Old Dude]

For right now, I'm going to wait and see what the administrators conclude about the second suspect.

[Old Dude]

Just got a PM indicating the second suspect may be cleared. Awaiting details...

[McDortoh]

For right now, I'm going to wait and see what the administrators conclude about the second suspect.

Let me get this straight someperson in this game is playing as someones??? Thats just wrong. They/he should both be given the boot as this rounds victum and lifelines/kills redone. I guess that would be my vote. I cant believe someone would cheat like that. Actually pretty ingenius I guess and after the PM's Ive gotten I think your all liars anyway ;D

[Rascal]

What happened?

Somebody created a seperate account and had two accounts in the game.

My money is that it's on CBF1. Backstabbing cheating bastard!

[McDortoh]

LOL screw the first mole we have a real mole to deal with rofl

[Mile High Shack]

Or we could take them out back and allow a herd of Yetis to have their way with him!

Having said that... I'm a little jealous that i didn't think of this last time!

[OldDudetheYounger]

For now, Denverfan4life has been tossed into the Yeti pen where he is currently being anally violated by a line of repressed bull Yetis while the Chinese SWAT team gambles on how long he lasts...


Wait if someone created two account would that not be obvious. It would have to be someone with a new account right

God I hate that guy... ooopppss probably shouldn't of said that...

[BizzyBone7]

well i can assure u it wasnt me...not only am i not bright enough, but i dont have the cajones too. but i gotta say it is pretty ingenious

[Old Dude]

Okay. We have a resolution.

Denverfan4Life was a banned user and is gone. Banished forever by the mods. He will be considered completely out of the game, and cannot, of course, even act as a jury member.

The second suspect has been officially cleared from any wrongdoing. He was NOT using Df4L as an alter ego.

No bullets will be awarded to anyone for killing Df4L. Except for the Chinese police, of course.

I am going to check with ODY to see if we can pass on Df4L's contact kill assignments to the persons who had him under contract.

Likewise, I'm going to see if we can pass on his Lifeline Anchor to the poor slob who had him as an anchor.

Since all of that would have affected the voting dynamics in Round 1 - - which was very close, I can assure you - - I am going to invalidate all the Round 1 voting. It shall remain sealed and undisclosed.

The official victim for Round 1 is df4L.

I am not going to name a second victim for Round 1 because, among other things, I really don't want a double elmination this early in the game. That is, to some extent, dictated by the fact that it would mathmatically throw of some of my plans for round 2.

In the next hour or so, I will PM the people who had Df4L as either a Lifeline Anchor or as a "contract kill" assignment with their new connection or targets. Later today, I will post the Rules for Round 2. Votes will be due by Noon, Monday.

THIRTEEN REMAIN.

There can be only ONE.

[TheDave]

Okay. We have a resolution.

Speaking of the Yeti pen, Denverfan4life is looking kinda limp... looks like one of his eyesockets is getting used right now too. Maybe the loser of round 2 should be made to go get the body out of the pen before it gets ripe.

All yes....Full Metal Jacket.

"Private Pyle, I'm gonna give you three seconds, exactly three ****in' seconds, to wipe that stupid lookin' grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull **** you."

[Rascal]

Other great quotes from that movie:

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman
Many of these replicas were ad-libbed by actor and former US Marine drill instructor R. Lee Ermey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Ermey).

"Are you quitting on me? Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy ****ing walrus-looking piece of ****. Get the **** off of my obstacle. Get the **** down off of my obstacle. Now. Move it. I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world. I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo."
"God has a hard on for Marines, because we kill everything we see. He plays His games, we play ours. To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls. God was here before the Marine Corps, so you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the corps."
"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, ****ing beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian ****. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on ****ers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?"
"Today you people are no longer maggots. Today you are Marines. You're part of a brotherhood."
"Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any ****ing effort to get to the top of the ****ing obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't he?"
"Were you born worthless, or did you have to work at it?"
"I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would **** a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you." According to ODY this would be Dave.
"The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of **** because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?"
"Private Pyle, I'm gonna give you three seconds, exactly three ****in' seconds, to wipe that stupid lookin' grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull **** you."
"Bull****. It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress."
"What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?"
"Private Pyle, you had best square your ass away and start ****ting me Tiffany cufflinks or I will definitely **** you up."
"Pyle, you climb obstacles like old people ****."
"You will give your rifle a girl's name because this is the only pussy you people are going to get. Your days of finger-banging ol' Mary J. Rottencrotch through her pretty pink panties are over. You're married to this piece. This weapon of iron and wood. And you will be faithful."
"Holy dog ****. Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?"
Bull****, I bet you can suck a golf ball through a garden hose!

ROUND TWO


Following the Chinese SWAT team raid and the untimely demise of international terrorist Denverfan4Life, dawn breaks to find our fearless party well on their way from the base camp to the foot of Mount Sausage when, to our wondrous eyes, what should appear, but …

http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/lists/images/thething.jpg

That’s right … It looks like the ancient wreck of a flying saucer!

Oh, joy. Oh wonder of wonders.

The hatch has been dislodged. Anything could be in there.

Weapons!

Food!

Collector’s Items!

Secrets of the Universe!

Unspeakable Alien Monsters from Hell!

In view of this stunning discovery, we will have a brief pause in our efforts to kill off other members of the party. We must have our priorities, after all.

A volunteer is needed to enter the spaceship and explore its contents.

This round, each of you may PM me with the name of the party member who you are “volunteering” for this daunting task! As usual, any abstention will be considered a vote for yourself.

Votes are due by Noon, Monday.

After all the voting is tabulated, I will announce the identity of the volunteer.

I will then PM the volunteer with the details of his experience and discoveries inside the flying saucer.

He can then share that with all of you, or not. If he’s still alive.

And sane.

Now I know what some of you are thinking. This sounds really exciting, but also kind of dangerous. And if the volunteer doesn’t get killed in there, how will you know if he found anything valuable? Something that he’s withholding from the other party members?

Well, never fear.

The Runner-up in the volunteer voting will be sent to accompany the Volunteer to the lip of the saucer lid, and to stand just outside, so that he can observe, as well as he can, what goes on in there. And he will also be PMd by me, with what he sees happen in there.

So no funny business, now!

By the way, the hatch is pretty narrow, so whoever gets elected as the primary volunteer must cut away a Lifeline to get inside. Now we can’t honestly expect that anyone would want to cut away their own Lifeline in a task this dangerous, so he will instead get to cut away the Lifeline of whoever is using him to anchor their own.

So when you pick the stooge you want to send into the saucer, it might be a good idea to pick someone OTHER than the guy your Lifeline is anchored to …

YOUR VOTE IS DUE BY NOON, MONDAY.

[OldDudetheYounger]

Why are the yeti's howling in their cage? Is this an ominous sign or are they just horny again?

[McDortoh]

Well that seems harmless enough Yikes!

[Ratboy]

So we have someone else pick for us?

[Old Dude]

So we have someone else pick for us?

You vote for who you want to send in there.

My use of the word "volunteer" is meant in sarcasm.

Unless you really want to volunteer, in which case you just vote for yourself.

Whoever gets the most votes goes in.

Whoever gets the second most votes gets to watch.

[OldDudetheYounger]

Nope, you vote on who goes into the wreck. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Given the nature of our contest you can be sure *something* will happen.

[Ratboy]

Somebody got lucky.

[McDortoh]

I take it we dont get to see the vote totals for last round?

[Ratboy]

Somebody turn the lights on so we can see who voted for who in round 1 :)

[Old Dude]

The round 1 votes were invalid and have been flushed.

See post #167 on page 7.

End of story.

[CBF1]

WTF is going on here?

[CBF1]

Woooohoooo I have Elways #7. You would never vote John off would you?

[CBF1]

I am happy now. Atleast i was not voted off in round 1

[TD30]

Man this is strange

[CBF1]

Let me know if I miss anything else. Will be back after 19:30.

Just so it doesn't get buried.

[MajikMan7]

Whats up with that denverfan4life guy. Was he someone else or not. If he isn't what did he do to get banned.

[FADERPROOF]

OMG!!!

You owe me 24.95 for a new keyboard damnit.

rofl

LOL!!!

Dion't bull****...

new keyboards can be bought for 12.99 at a local K-mart.

[Rascal]

Dion't bull****...

You failed to include punitive damages.

[Old Dude]

Whats up with that denverfan4life guy. Was he someone else or not. If he isn't what did he do to get banned.

He was a banned user. The reason he was banned, according to the mods, had nothing to do with anything he did on this thread, but he wasn't supposed to be on the Mane to start with.

So his account was frozen. He's gone. Nothing I can do about it.

There was initially some question, according to the mods, about whether he was an alter ego for another one of you.

That has been cleared up to their satisfaction. He was not acting as an alter ego.

The rest of you are clear.

But this played hell with the whole web of Lifeline and contract assignments.

For example, if I reward the guys who had df4L as a contract target with "bullets" for killing him, that would be a windfall - - since they didn't really do it. On the other hand, if I don't, then they have been screwed out of their chance to win future bullets.

Likewise, it was a major screwjob for the guy who had his lifeline assigned to df4L. And, to a lesser extent, it was a screwjob for the guy to whom df4L has his Lifeline attached. (because you will rarely be targeted by the guy who has his Lifeline attached to you - - that person would not have had a de facto ally like everyone else)

So these things had to be completely redone or shifted around. As it happens, we were able to shift them around.

But this would have had a major impact on the voting dynamics in Round 1, which were very close.

So, I made the decision, pursuant to Rule #1, to declare df4L the first victim - preempting all other victims (since he wouldn't be able to participate anymore anyway).

And the voting for Round 1 has been voided.

So the net result is that it's like starting over again without df4L who, according to the mods, should not have been on the site in the first place.

.

Just a guess but judging from where he was located and that seemed to be true because of his love of "brewers" baseball Im thinking it was that wisconsinhomer or whatever his name was. I think he was the guy who got banned for telling Pez to do certain things to himself that normally only happen on survivor rofl

don't kid yourself...he is a government worker.....multiply normal cost by 2

[Rascal]

don't kid yourself...he is a government worker.....multiply normal cost by 2

The sad thing is that it is so very true...and that nobody seems to care.

I don't know how many times where I have seen beuracratic BS cost millions of dollars.

For example: We recently had to purchase some...lets say hydraulic actuators for simplicity. Well we don't have a contract with the manufacturer so we have to a third party, well instead of getting them from the manufacturer they go to a fourth party.

The manufacturer originally sold the items for a contract of about 5 million. By the time the government paid for it we were charged 11.5 million. We were so desperate for the parts and bent over the barrel that we didn't even blink. That happens every damn day around here.
