[Kodos]

Lalala, still alive, lalala.

[Poli]

HI!

[scooper]

edit: doh. Wrong AE thread. Carry on.

(tiptoes away)

[Kodos]

Hello there, ardent. Good to be on terra firma? Or at least sand?

[Poli]

:)

[stkelly52]

For the sake of Radii, who may not have realized that we were starting, I will allow him to join if he comes in the next 15 minutes, but he needs to stay 15 minutes longer than anyone else

[Kodos]

Sunshine day, everybody smiling! Sunshine day!

[Poli]

Alas my love, you say goodbye
Wipe the poison from my brow
Alas my love, this guilty night
It gives me up like a foster child
And in this moment I take my vow
These angels sleeping at my feet
And in this moment you do not know how
How my spirit wants to flee
You see it was one man against the night
Taking on a multitude
That had left Him high and dry
No candle burning vigil could light the way
Darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite
He wrestled until morning
With human souls and dark angels
And there He finished His work On the third day

[Poli]

Yes, Kodos, I love it here...you can tell I haven't been on land for a while!

Got my orders for Great Lakes today!

[Marmel]

Just a thought. In the real survivor, the person who wins the final immunity challenge, NEVER wins the game.

So, who is going to pull off the daring move of giving up immunity for a better chance of winning.

Kodos?

[Poli]

I'll be posting like this quite often...

[Kodos]

I must regretfully decline your invitation.

[Radii]

Hi there! Hooray!

[Poli]

My 2000th post...on Survivor FOFC, no less.

[Radii]

Thx for the leinancy stkelly :) I had to go help someone else in a different cubicle, that could have been disastrous!

[Poli]

?

[Kodos]

The lesson: Never help anyone.

I've never watched a single episode of the real survivor. Why is this? (that the person who wins the final challenge never wins, etc, not why haven't I watched)

[Poli]

As I sit and ponder I begin to wonder why
God would send His only Son upon this earth to die
The conviction of my heart brings a tear to my eye
And keep reality far from me, I just want to hide
Christ endured such cruelty for a sinner like me
He paid the price when He died for me on Calvary's tree
I once was blind, but now my eyes clearly see
The sacrifice Christ became for you and me
Because Jesus loves me, this I know For the Word of God tells me so
All of us to Him belong, it's true That we are weak, yet He is strong

[Radii]

That is a lesson I learn almost daily Kodos. Kodos is offline already! Did our alien's dialup fail him?!

[Poli]

You got something I like about you
You seem to be a lot like me
I've got ticket to adventure for two
Could be your golden opportunity.
The travel agent, she set up the itinerary,
First class, you can see the moon from a window seat
An agent guided tour of the galaxy,
Tips included, if you want them come with me
I wanna know, is there life on Pluto?
Wanna go with me?
We can go in a UFO!
I wanna know, is there life on Pluto?
Wanna go with me?
We can go in a UFO!
I'm bored. Need a little motivation
I'm tired of the same old thing
I've got a feeling of anticipation
Could be our golden opportunity
I've got an urge to go swimming in the Milky Way
Take a trip of fishing in the Neptune sea
Have my picture taken with Peter at the "Pearly Gates"
Smile for the Hubbell, if you want them come with me.
In between a blink of an eye, we'll be together
In the sky, we'll be together

[Marmel]

Radii, I think it is because of this:

The winner of the final immunity is the only one who votes the last person off the island. So, there are three left, and the 2 immunity loser's votes cancel each other out, so just the immunity winner's vote counts.

So, they have to make the final back stabbing decision as to who gets voted out last.

Then, the jury (comprised of everyone voted out) votes on the final 2, to see who wins. I think two things are at work here.

(1) The person voted out last is mad at the person who won immunity (and therefore voted them out) so they give the nod to the other person.

(2) The jury remembers the last thing that happened the most, and that is usually that final backstabbing.

I probably explained that as clear as mud.

[Poli]

I don't know why you say goodbye...

[Marmel]

Dola..... In the original Survivor, the eventual winner was Richard, and he made a brilliant move at the end.

It was down to three players, Richard, Rudy and Kelly. Richard and Rudy had a rock solid alliance. Rudy was liked by everyone. Kelly was not (nor was Richard for that matter).

So what did he do? He intentionally quit the final immunity challenge (almost exactly like the one set up here).

He figured if Rudy won, he would take Richard because of the alliance.

If Kelly won, she would take Richard because she couldn't win against Rudy....and even better Rudy would be on the jury and was a sure vote for him.

Kelly ended up winning immunity, and did in fact take Richard to the Final 2, where he ended up winning.

[Marmel]

By the way, is the alien eliminated yet? :D

[Kodos]

Hi.,

[Poli]

Anyone else notice that WR Rod Smith has the wrong college listed in Madden 2003? This is at least true in the XBOX. He went to Missouri Southern, not Southern Miss.

[Kodos]

Why is Velveeta not considered to be cheese?

[Radii]

nice timing kodos :)

And, good luck getting a dola in this thread while all 3 of us are left Marmel

It's almost like Marmel is still with us. **sniff**

[Marmel]

I know Kodos. If I had put more time into the game, I would have emailed everyone (especially you) and said that I was telling AE to vote for Kodos because he asked.

Oh well.

Of course, you could have doubled checked back with your original alliance that was supposed to make the final 3 and see why AE said you were the next to go. :)

Dear Radii and Ardent. Please enjoy the box of Ex-Lax brand chocolates that I just sent to you as a gesture of good will!

I'm more confused than the day I joined the Navy.

Marmel pretty much promised everyone that he was taking them to the final three. This drew my suspicion and caused me to form the anti-Marmel alliance.

[Poli]

I still have my Varsity hat.

[Radii]

When Kodos approached me about voting Marmel out I had no idea how strong any of the alliances were. I did have a solid understanding that Marmel was running the show, and that I felt I was on the outside looking in and had little, if no, control over my destiny as long as he was still in the game. So I thought Kodos' move was rather brilliant and threw a wrench into what may have been a very scripted ending.

[Poli]

Anyone realize I have a 1.5 liter of Coke beside me right now?

[Marmel]

The original pact was SplitP and myself, and then we pulled Kodos in, and figured we could cruise to the final 3. AE and Radii played the game, so that was a great group of 5.

When it got down to us final 5, splitP, myself and Kodos were still a pretty solid group, but I think both Kodos and I wanted to bring each other into the final 2 because it weas unlikely we would beat the 'nice guy' SplitP.

Radii was going to go next, but he won immunity, so it had to be AE. I thought the vote was decided, and then AE emailed me asking who to vote for. I told him it was a tough decision, but it was Kodos (even though it was him). I guess AE went and talked to Kodos and Splits after that....that is when the plan backfired.

In retrospect, I should have emailed the other guys again and told them what I told AE. OR, I should have asked AE who should go next, and let him make the decision.........

either way this has been a lot of fun, even though it has not been a stellar example of group participation.

Maybe somebody else will get another one going sometime.

[Radii]

Varsity hamburgers are scary. Varsity ANYTHING with Chili is scary. Don't eat anything with Chili from the varsity if you have to leave the bathroom the next day.

I walked by the Varsity every work day for 1 1/2 years from late 95 to sometime in '97... minus the time we got kicked off campus for the olympics.

Varisty Ice Cream is *great* .. the rest of the food there is not worth the hype IMO.

[Kodos]

Marmel didn't learn from the show: Usually, the person who tries running the show gets voted out eventually. I think Richard was the exception.

[Poli]

:)

[Poli]

This is awesome. I'm only reading about half of the posts.

[Marmel]

I never tried to run the show, but SplitP and AE kept emailing me as soon as the voting thread went up. I didn't know what else to tell them other than pick somebody. Then I had to tell Kodos so we would all vote together. I guess you all respect me so much that you just looked to me for the leadership. :D :D :D

[Radii]

"Radii was going to go next, but he won immunity, so it had to be AE. I thought the vote was decided, and then AE emailed me asking who to vote for. I told him it was a tough decision, but it was Kodos (even though it was him). I guess AE went and talked to Kodos and Splits after that....that is when the plan backfired."


Wow, and to think I only won that immunity challenge by a matter of seconds on two of the three trivia questions. God bless high speed internet.

[Poli]

for 3!

[Kodos]

Part of my strategy was to let Marmel run the show through most of the game, just going along with whoever he suggested we oust. I figured this would eventually lead to me being able to start a rebellion against him if I needed one.

[Poli]

Looking back at the road so far

The journey's left its share of scars

mostly from leaving the narrow and straight

Looking back it is clear to me

That a man is more than the sum of his deeds

and how you've made good of this mess I've made

is a profound mystery



Looking back you know you had to bring me through



(All that I was so afraid of)

(Though I questioned the sky, now I see why)

(Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view)

Looking back I see your lead of love



Looking back I can finally see

How failures bring humility

Brings me to my knees

Helps me see my need for Thee



Looking back you know you had to bring me through



(All that I was so afraid of)

(Though I questioned the sky, now I see why)

(Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view)

Looking back I see your lead of love



Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view.

Marmel is right about splits. I figured there was no way to beat him in the final. He was doing the classic Survivor under-the-radar strategy, and doing a damn fine job of it.

However, even before all of this started, before stkelly split the teams up, there was a heybrad, Swaggs, Schmidty, Marmel alliance that was destined for the final 4. :)

[Marmel]

I still maintain that Kodos screwed it all up. It could have been you, me and SplitP in this challenge, and our posting prowess would guarantee one of us would win, and then it would have been you and I in the final 2, Alien.

You would at least have had a 50/50 chance against me in teh fianl 2. You stand NO chance to win this against either Radii or AE. The best you can do now is 2nd place.

[Poli]

I'm trying to read some of the old posts...but it's going slowly.

Marmel, I didn't rat you out...it was more of a "feel you out". Kodos had already approached me. I was just trying to see what you'd say. No offense, mon ami.

[Marmel]

AE, time to update that signature. It must be down to about 4.05 years left, right?

[Kodos]

[Poli]

Marmel, you're right. I'll update it when someone wins this.

[Marmel]

AE, I have no problem with you at all. As far as I knew, you were next to go, so I can't blame you for saving your own ass.

Actually, like I said before, I enjoyed the game no matter the outcome, and got to know some of you guys better. No hard feelings anywhere (except for the nasty Alien ;) )

[Radii]

7 minutes on that post kodos!

At some point in the next 2 hours I'm going to have to figure out why my install of WinCVS won't work. I fear this may require a reboot. I think I can drag that out for the rest of the day though.

[Coffee Warlord]

Hmm.

Then I can't target anyone for vengeance.

Assuming all the players come back for the final vote...oh, decisions, decisions.

[Poli]

Marmel, I agree. I definitely feel I know a couple of you guys better. Like you and Syracuse.

[Kodos]

I really wonder how many people voted out will actually come back for the final vote.

3?

Marmel, if I hadn't suspected a plot, I never would have turned on our alliance. But you had to go and set off my danger alert by not sending anything my way for a long time after that immunity challenge. I thought silence = plot against Kodos.

I have no idea if I can win against either Radii or AE, but I figure if I get there and lose, at least I did everything I could to try to win.

[Poli]

I heart all my friends in Survivor FOFC.

I'm a grizzled vet now. I wonder if I still start?

[Kodos]

I'd actually be curious to know why I have consistently won the popular vote (when John Galt was not an option) in the public poll. I haven't been very vocal or high-profile in the game, so I'm not sure what was driving that. Anyone care to say why? Or am I just that unpopular in general? :confused: I'm asking more out of curiousity than anything else.

[Poli]

I heart Kodos. I've got a few theories. I know people looked at you as a threat. I did early on. I figured the major duo was yourself and Marmel.

[Marmel]

I would guess it is because of your polls and bad puns.

As my poll showed, they are not all that popular.

[Radii]

Kodos, once I saw someone taking the lead in the popular vote, I'd vote for them too, just to push them even further ahead. If all the other competitors were doing this too, it could have drastically swayed the results of the polls. Other than that, I really have no idea. Maybe the entire board secretly loves the Cowboys?

[Poli]

Anyone else get my package by mistake??

Perhaps yours is just a more recognizable name on the board than the rest of us and many didn't realize they were voting against you?

When I get porn in the mail I don't check to see the name on the package, I just thank god for small favors and retire to my room.

You guys have been going at this for just under 2 hours now. If I was in this, I would be in trouble since I am leaving work soon and it takes me more than 10 minutes to get home.

Of course, I would have my wife turn on the computer and post for me, but then she would think I am even more whacked than she already realizes. :)

[Poli]

Wife. Dang it. I knew I forgot to call someone.

[Radii]

I'm supposed to meet a friend for dinner sometime around 6pm, so I've got another 2 hours to go. Of course, this friend is just weird enough that I could actually tell him why I was going to be late/couldn't make it, and he'd totally understand.

[Kodos]

I pondered lining up a sub for myself as well...

[Poli]

oh well.

[Radii]

What i'm curious about on the whole survivor FOFC thing is how many non-participants paid attention at all. Lots of people generally voted, a lot more than 10 on most of polls I believe. I wonder how many people actually knew what was going on and who they were voting for, etc. Seriously, I wonder if a majority of the votes was just a "sweet, a poll. Everyone loves a poll. Hey, I know that Kodos guy. I'll click him."

[Poli]

I was expecting jelly bellies...not a blow up doll. I'll have to talk to her about that.

[Poli]

That's what the Night Crew is for baby!

I can't think of anyone I would try to get to sub for me for something like this. "Hey, buddy, can you log on to a website and post for me? Yeah, just type something and click reply every 4-5 minutes for an hour or so. Hello? Hello?"

[Marmel]

This particular Blowup doll has jelly beans stuffed into her.........

Well, nevermind, you will see when you get it. Strange wife though.

[Kodos]

I said Hello
You fool
I love you...

[Poli]

My soda is but half full now (.75 liters if you are keeping track). The paper on the outside is written in a language only Kodos would understand.

[Kodos]

I bet ardent has no trouble lining up a "sub"....



Badaboom!

[Poli]

One must not underestimate the power of Chinese Tickle Torture.

[Marmel]

And you wonder why you get the popular vote. :(

[Radii]

Kodos knows Arabic?

[Kodos]

It says, "Give up now - the alien cannot be out-posted."

[Marmel]

Did you ever realize the AE's screen name is redundant? I mean if somebody is ardent, they are enthusiastic.

[Poli]

That was great!

[Kodos]

Hey! I broke 6000!

[Radii]

In a sad commentary on the state of my social life, I can state with great certainty that if this had started after I'd gotten home from work Friday afternoon, my chances of winning would be almost 100%.

[Poli]

Aaron Boone hit 3 HRs today. this is just no good. A word of advice to all you guys out there, if you get your girlfriend/wife in on a fantasy sports league with you, make sure you're prepared to deal with the consequences in case you get your ass kicked by her.

[Kodos]

I have been kicking my girlfriend's ass in fantasy football for 3 years now.

[Poli]

Congratulations Kodos! (on 6000!)

[Radii]

I won the NCAA tournament pool rather easily(won the whole thing, not just beating the gf), but I suck at fantasy baseball, and her random autodraft is destroying me.

[Poli]

I have problems with beating my wife. I just can't do it. I can however, attack my dog.

[Marmel]

My wife finsihed in the top 0.05 percentile of the ESPN NCAA Tourney Challenge.

She was in the top couple thousand out of nearly a million people (I think). Needless to say she kicked my ass for the second straght year, after I was undefeated since meeting her. :(

Is that you?

[SplitPersonality1]

For what it's worth, I think paranoia killed the Marmel, Kodos, SpltP alliance. I was worried about the two of you and vice versa it seems.

Ardent, I hate to admit it, I was just using you for your votes. (Shame on me as a fellow ae :) )

As you guys have stated, I figured that if I got to the final two with either Marmel or Kodos, I would be a lock to win. You guys are more well known and have stronger/more active FOFC personalities.

As Marmel said, thegame was fun.

good luck all - except for the slimy alien :)

[Poli]

My dog's name is Snuggles. She's ugly, and I tell her so. I feel it's important for her to know the truth.

[Kodos]

Sweeeet Caroline, Bum bum bum!

[Poli]

outstanding, Split, but I got the drift when I didn't hear from ya! I won't hold it against another ae though!

[Poli]

Yes, that's me, and my rabid snuggle dog. Well maybe not rabid. But definitely ugly. Definitely.

I had no paranoia. I really thought us three would be in the final 3. Splits was my original ally from the very beginning, but I would of probably tuned on him, only in the final 3 because I wouldn't beat him, but might beat Kodos.

I still don't understand why you guys ran scared. :)

well, I wouldn't have gone if I thought I might actually have had a problem returning in 10 minutes. Mmmmmm butterfinger

[Kodos]

Marmel v. Kodos would have been an interesting vote. I think Marmel would have won, based on the public polls we've had.

[Poli]

[Marmel]

I'm prettier.

[Kodos]

That's not saying much.

[Radii]

I'm not sure about that Kodos. The votes of the Dean Houston people will be interesting to see, I know I never would have voted for Marmel if I'd been voted off at any point, because like I said, I had the definite impression that he was running the show.

You're startin' down the road and leavin' me again

You'd be a clown by now.
