Dawn, Gardenia & Wallace you have defeated 17 other Pokémon Trainers to reach this stage of the 2nd Pokémon World Tournament. There will be no more battles & no more eliminations. Over the next 24 hours the three of you will plead your case to the jurors, aiming to prove why you deserve to be the second Pokémon World Tournament Champion & join Lt Surge in the Hall of Fame. These proceedings will commence with each of you posting an opening statement. Arrangements have been made for myself to post statements should you not be here on time. The eight jurors will then begin the question & answer process, or they may decide leaving a statement alone is sufficient. The deadline for jury votes is 10pm Monday Night. At that point the Champion shall be crowned & the Cast Reveal amongst other events will occur. Good luck! |

Hey guys!! I've put on my best dress tonight and prepared this little statement I can't wait to answer any questions you have for me!![align=center] [/align]I just want to make it clear that I’ve been through hell and high water to get to this point in the game and your votes would be the most satisfying conclusion possible for Piplup and I For my awesome statement I would like to super-quickly outline the key moments in my story and game, all of which allowed me to get to where I am now!! ![]() [align=center]Sinnoh[/align] As most of you should know by now I had a rough start on Sinnoh where I couldn’t devote to the game the first couple of nights due to REAL WORLD reasons that I won’t go into. Naturally that lead to me being the easy first target so I prepared the exit strategy which consisted mostly of telling a few people that I still loved them (Volky and Gardy) and letting the vote happen against me. I was super confident I could win the first duel and was mentally prepared to travel to… [align=center]Hoenn[/align] As I unpacked my bags I was certain there was one thing I had to do: sever all relationship to Sinnoh. This involved a lot of bitching about everybody there (in public (Sorry Fantina!! :lol:) and private, which of course I didn’t entirely mean) and reiterating the fact that I had no reason to ever flip to Sinnoh players in the future. This gave the others on Hoenn a reason NOT to vote me straight back in. I’m pretty sure it worked because a lot of Hoenn’s brought how much they considered me a part of Hoenn and not Sinnoh ![]() After that all I had to do was wait for cracks to appear and slip myself in and surely enough they appeared immediately with Flanny leading a charge against Brendan :lol: [align=center]Mr Electric[/align] I had comfortably found allies in Norman (from my group) and Roxy and Mr Wattson but I wasn’t content to put my fate 100% into their hands. I needed a close ally and preferably someone from Sinnoh so that my loyalty would be less questioned than theirs if things went south. When Volky entered the arena we hit it up and I promised him there’d be room for him to live on Hoenn. When it came down to it, it was the two of us casting the deciding votes between Norman and Flanny. [align=center]Merge!![/align] Down in numbers I had the good fortune to meet up with Gardy again Of course centuries had passed since we were together but I felt like our brief bonding on Day 1 had paid off for the both of us and she was happy to join up with Volkner, Wattson, Norman and me Since our four votes were enough to send a person of our choice into the arena we allowed Gardy to lay low and appear loyal to the others from Sinnoh.As we were all targeting the “weakest” for an easy duel and everyone seemed to be saying that my time in duel 1 was fast, I only had to lie low and get the chit chat going with "the other alliance" to cover my back if I lost some numbers. Which we totally did. Only me and Mr Wattson were left but Gardy would have sided with us this round if I’m not mistaken It was irrelevant anyway because May and Wally chose this time to flip against Fantina, Maylene and Roark. I considered this a very risky move for them as it was surely going to anger those three and could backfire against them. Tbh I think it should have been left until later but who am I to complain Mr Wattson and I could have turned it against May and Wally by telling their targets, but it really didn’t give much of a payoff except angering Wally and May and putting us in a bad position numbers-wise. So that’s why I was super-content to go with it ![]() [align=center]The Barefoot, Fighting Genius!![/align] The biggest threat to my game then manifested as the girl with the cute toes, Maylene. Ultimately she had friends in Roark and Fantina on the jury already and for me to give her the chance to slip through to the end was not good. So I took the risk to vote her in with Mr Wattson and Gardy, fully aware that May and Wally were likely to vote me in as well. It was scary as hell but it was a do or die scenario and I hate to be pompous but I don’t believe the others could have done it unless they got a duel Maylene was bad at. In a format as evil as Arena this is something I absolutely deserve credit for!! ![]() [align=center]The Home Stretch[/align] By the end others were starting to call me all sorts of mean things like threat and challenge whore I had done all I could and was in a position where votes could not be split against me or my allies. The only task left was to fight tooth and nail in the Stadium against anyone I perceived as a threat to me.As I'm here now, the risks I have taken and the people I have trusted have all paid off for me and brought me to the final tribal council, despite having to deal with: May trying to steal my Poké Ball at the start of the game. A group of Norman (Already in my Hoenn alliance), Byron (Mr Poop-and-lies-spreader-for-his-own-enjoyment :lol:), and Brawly (first eliminated). A rocky start pretty much out of my control, which I did my best to recover from on Hoenn!! No immunity Poké Balls. Surviving the first three votes without a solid ally. Losing my solid ally just after hitting the merge. A target of challenge whore and jury threat being painted on my back.[align=center] I really hope you all consider voting for me I have been front and center on that banner for weeks now and it has been teasing me constantly!! You would also be making Piplup super-happy if you did ![]() ![]() ![]() [/align] |

Hi everyone! Before I try to explain why I think you should vote for me to win, I want to thank you all for making this game so exciting and memorable for me. It doesn’t escape me for one moment that the joy I feel at having made it to the end has come at some cost to each and every one of you. I only hope that your disappointment isn’t too great and that any anger or resentment you feel is left behind when the game is over. Now, I don’t want this opening statement to turn into a novel, so I’m going to highlight for you the cards that I played throughout the game that were most instrumental in my success. ![]() I came into the game knowing very little about the Arena format, never having played it before, but I used this fact pre-merge to shape the perception of me as naive and reliant upon others for guidance. Throughout the entire game I made a point of using guided questioning instead of giving my own opinions, as I never wanted to be perceived as the decision-maker. If a decision needed to be communicated to the rest of my alliance, I always made sure somebody else was the one sending out the message. Proof that I was seen as non-threatening comes from something Roark said to me just before his departure. He said "you've certainly done a lot better than *anyone* thought you would "Being perceived as non-threatening wasn't enough for me to sail through the pre-merge with ease. My secret group was with Winona, Liza, and Fantina - the first two of whom were eliminated in rounds two and three. This meant that there was suddenly a target on my back, or rather, a price on my head - an Immunity Pokeball for Fantina. From all accounts she was the one to convince my tribe to send me into the Arena, so when I came back I returned the favour. The point is, I was on my own from very early in the game. ![]() From the fourth round onwards, with Winona and Liza gone, I had no built-in allies and nobody on Hoenn I could talk to. Unlike Wallace and Dawn whose secret groups were still either fully or mostly intact, I had only myself to rely on. This was a theme that would last throughout the game for me. I lost my two closest allies, Lucas and Candice, right before the merge. Of the six Sinnoh tribe members who made the merge there was the trio of Roark/Maylene/Fantina, the duo of May/Wallace, and the solo of me! Later on (and I'll explain how this came to be shortly) I was on my own with the two pairs of Wattson/Dawn and May/Wallace. Don't get me wrong, this was a good thing for me - I'm just illustrating that I played my own game and at no point did I have anybody else pulling me along or telling me what to do. Okay, now I'd like to go into detail about the specific moves that I made. These moves had a big impact on the course of the post-merge game and are the reason I'm here pleading my case instead of deciding which of you wonderful people I should give my vote to. It all started with... ![]() As I just explained, I was on my own within the Sinnoh six. Everyone knew I was #6 in that group, but I knew better than to let them know that I knew it. I did everything I could to convince them that I was loyal to Sinnoh. I even raised pretend concerns about whether May and Wallace would stick with us or return to Hoenn. However, in reality, I flipped over to the Hoenn foursome the minute the merge arrived :ph43r: This put the sides at 5-5, so there wasn't anything I could do to affect the outcome of the votes at this point. What I was able to do was have everybody believing I was on their side. I was able to get the Hoenn side to agree that I should vote for Norman with the Sinnoh side (in order to keep up appearances), whilst I fed them information about Sinnoh's plans. This benefited me in multiple ways. 1) I gained the trust of Wattson, Volkner, Dawn, and Norman without needing to vote with them and alienate myself from Sinnoh. 2) I kept Sinnoh thinking I was with them so that the option of staying with them was available if I needed it later on 3) I was nobody's target After Norman lost the battle against Maylene, the Sinnoh group thought they had six people (Roark/Maylene/Fantina/May/Wallace/Gardenia) against the Hoenn three (Wattson/Volkner/Dawn) and hence wanted to cause a 3-3-3 tie and send two Hoenn’s into the Arena. Given that I was actually secretly with the Hoenn group, I didn’t want this to happen. Now, the way the split vote was supposed to work was that Maylene, Wallace, and May would vote for Volkner, while Roark, Fantina, and I would vote for Wattson. I simply voted for Volkner instead of Wattson and caused the 4-3-2 result. In doing so I was able to protect Wattson, send Roark into battle giving Hoenn a chance at keeping their numbers, and maintain my undercover status within Sinnoh (since I still voted for a Hoenn). I suspect there was some suspicion over what I had done, but it ended up being mostly chalked up to a mistake due to miscommunication :lol: Ultimately this move didn't amount to anything concrete as Volkner lost the battle, but it worked to further cement my position within the Hoenn group. After this came the big flip that is no secret to anybody! ![]() Flipping to Hoenn with May and Wallace was without a doubt the biggest move in the game, and I deserve the majority of the credit for it. Coming into the merge, Roark/Maylene/Fantina were running the game and were set up perfectly to make it to the end together. I knew that F8 would be the first chance we would get to send two of them into battle against each other, and we could only do it with the help of May and Wallace. This is why I discussed with May and Wallace the possibility of a potential flip ever since we merged. I let them know that I would flip if they flipped, putting the ball in their court. I became their #3. An example of how I got May and Wallace to make the big flip with me is this: I told them about what I had done to cause the previous 4-3-2 vote, because by entrusting them with that secret they would feel they could trust me enough to take the risk. Credit needs to go to May who was the first to voice the possibility of the 3-2-2-1 split at F8. Because I had successfully kept Sinnoh believing I was loyal to them, Roark/Maylene/Fantina didn't think to make sure the three of them were voting the same way in the Sinnoh vote split. This led to their votes being 2-1 while our new fivesome voted 3-2. Credit also needs to go to Wattson who both May and Wallace told me had helped to make them feel secure enough to flip. They told me that Dawn didn't talk to them much at that stage, so Wattson and I were the ones who put in the work to make sure the flip was a success. Something I got a kick out of hearing from Wattson was how May and Wallace were reporting to him how they had gotten me on board for the flip, when in fact I had already flipped two rounds earlier and was trying to make sure that they flipped! ![]() This was one of the most skillful and stressful votes I've ever been a part of, but I benefited from it greatly. I went from being #6 on Sinnoh to sitting nicely between two pairs, each thinking I was their #3. ![]() Because I was once again playing both sides, I had to be creative in managing the vote at F6. This was when #armyofone Maylene accurately pointed out in a public thread that I was sitting safely on both sides as everybody's #3 and stated that she was going to vote for me. My first priority was to make sure that I wasn't voted out and my second priority was to get Maylene voted out in a way that I could maintain my position in the middle by not picking a side. If I had gotten everyone to vote for Maylene I would have had to face her in the Arena. If I had gotten BOTH pairs to vote for someone from the opposite pair I would have had to pick a side and Maylene would have advanced to the final 5. So what I needed to do was get one pair to vote with me for Maylene and the other pair to vote for someone from the opposite pair! This was tricky to pull off as it was like a prisoner's dilemma for each pair. If they voted for Maylene then they risked the other pair voting for one of them, but if both pairs voted for one of the other pair then Maylene would make the F5. I decided that Dawn would be the easiest person to convince to vote for Maylene over her own self-interests, and despite a bit of initial push-back about wanting to vote for May or Wallace instead, I was able to convince her that Maylene had to be dealt with now above all other considerations. Once Dawn was on board, Wattson was happy to vote for Maylene too as he knew that May and Wallace would be voting for Dawn and not for him. Thus the vote was 3-2-1. I was safe and by voting for Maylene everybody still thought I was their #3. I guess I should address the F5 vote. May and Wallace were still solid with me so they voted for Dawn, but Wattson and Dawn decided to vote for me. I'll let Wattson explain why in his own words: "I figured that you were the only threat to me winning this game so I thought that May & Wallace would go for me, so I decided to try and knock you out myself in the Arena."This opening statement has turned into a bit of a novel after all, so thank you for taking the time to read it. The card that best summarises my journey to the final three is this: ![]() I won my duel against Flannery, returned to my old tribe, and outlasted everyone who had voted for me. I didn't settle for my sixth place position on Sinnoh, but instead played a big part in orchestrating the biggest move of the game - a move that set the tone for the remainder of the game and that got me to the end. I won my duel against Wattson - the only person besides Maylene to see me as a threat. I adapted quickly to the Arena format that was new to me, by maintaining working relationships with all players in the game. This was necessary as so much depended on who returned from the Arena each time. There was nobody I wasn’t willing to work with. No option I wasn’t willing to entertain. I fought hard to get here and I hope you can appreciate that. I look forward to reading your comments and questions and will do my best to help you see why I deserve your vote

[align=center]Well hello, hello and hello. I want this to be short. Hope that when I finish this speech I will have been able to keep my word on this. I think that most of you are perfectly aware of the game I played and how I played it - the good and the bad. Believe me, I am very aware of it as well. As a juror it irritates me to no end when finalists are absolutely irrealistic of the games they've played and make themselves out to be something they are not; and as such I'll try to keep this as real as possible. I'm aware of my flaws and aware of my short-comings. Coming into this game I knew I couldn't be here all that often, but I just had to play in this. I love Pokémon, Hoenn might be my favorite region ever, Arena is my absolute favorite format and it was non-live to boot. But knowing my timing restrictions I knew I had to play under the radar and get to the end that way, and I've accomplished just that. I've never meant to step out into the spotlight and it worked out great for me. I think the reason why I love Arena more is because it is not Survivor. Survivor oftentimes boils down to sheer numbers, but in Arena you can fight back; but more importantly, the votes of the minority also count towards something. Because of this distinction the metagame changes, because your goal from not getting voted out changes to not getting voted for. Small change, but it makes a ton of difference. Because of how the post-merge worked, numbers didn't mean a whole lot - sure a big group of six might have been able to split votes, but that was never going to work because due to the nature of the format you can't afford to be loyal to anyone but your number #1, if that. Everyone knows that my pre-merge game has not been the strongest, but given the make-up of the jury and of the F3 I think it's fair to ignore that portion, as almost all of us were in minority at some point. I think that initially I was in a strong position at Hoenn which but when things got dark, I've decided not to return and I've found a new home at Sinnoh. There I managed to make myself useful and fit in well enough, which has put me in a better position than even most native Sinnoh-ers. The post-merge was always going to be tricky. With not belonging to the core of either tribe some sort of "flip" always was going to come in play. May has been my #1 ally and she was on the same page as I was regarding this, and despite being in a "five" with Fantina/Roark/Maylene I've gotten close to Gardenia, knowing that we'd need each other. From there the rest is history, which I don't wish to recount to minute detail because we all know what happened, but I do want to just mention what my involvement was with some of the boots. Norman vs Maylene I have definitely tried to push Norman's name more out there than Wattson's. Wattson was always meant to be my key to Hoenn, while Norman was not someone I ever expected to work together with. Volkner vs Roark Despite what Gardenia has told a lot of you it was I who told her to vote for Volkner, not May (although since it magically never came up I think you must've pieced that together by now). My rationale was this: May did not want to flip that round, but Gardenia was eager to do so and I figured that Wattson is definitely going to be more of an asset to me later on than Roark would be. I believe that I was the one who even tell her that we were splitting the vote. I've even suggested that she self-vote so she isn't caught, but still paints her in a negative light. I believe that nudging her towards this was good for me, as it has put her in the limelight some more than myself (and May), providing another layer of immediate protection and to simply put Wattson was more valuable in the game at that point than out of. Maylene vs Fantina The big one. Despite what Maylene says, I still maintain that this was the correct move to do that round. Had we not tried to split the three of you up, you could and would have controled the rest of the votes and if the Arenas go your way, the rest are fucked. The three of you in tact were more dangerous than the danger Wattson and Dawn had posed. Given that I've ended up here, with no votes ever since, I believe that this was the correct move. Maylene vs Roark I'm sorry for how this went down, and I will be the first to admit that I mishandled both of you guys. But I did want to vote with you for Dawn (and send Maylene in, that is also true), but Wattson had told us you wanted to vote May in and we deemed it safer to just proceed with the split. I didn't mean to so boldly lie to your faces. As May has not only been my best friend in this game but also my biggest shield it was imperative for me that she stays. Maylene vs Dawn The battle of the titans. I was all for making this happen, as Dawn and I've never been on the best of terms and her or Maylene leaving could only have been a win-win for me. Gardenia vs Wattson It was my idea to vote Wattson in. When that plan was hatched both Wattson and Gardenia said to us that they would vote for Dawn, and they though we would as well as it was expected from Dawn to pick May or myself to duel. Voting for Wattson ensured that if Wattson and Gardenia do what they say, then May and I get to live another day; while if they didn't and one of us was voted in we would face Wattson instead of Dawn. It was a win-win situation. So this is it. I am not claiming to be the social driving force behind anything, really. I am not claiming to be genuine and "real". I am not claiming to be involved with all boots, because that just wouldn't be true. But what I did in this game worked for me. I've managed to don the cape of unthreateningness and in a game where votes from both sides count, and managed to not receive any of them since I was voted out for the first time. I haven't faced Arena since I've arrived at Sinnoh, and haven't even been any immediate danger of being thrown in. The goal of the game is to get to the end, and I've did just that. And through challenges, but strategy. I wasn't a big presence, but look where all the big players ended up? Jury. I've had a shield in May and milked it until I could. You may say that be not getting votes and seeming the way I did was not deliberate, but it some ways it definitely was. I knew I had to play up the perceptions about myself if I wanted to stay alive. I've even mentioned to some of you who easy I would be to take to the end. So there you have it. If you want to lecture about ORGing 101, don't do it. You're just wasting everyone's time. I do think that at the end of the day I've did enough to get your vote. I'm not perfect, none of us are. And I'm not even going to pretend that I was some social goddess mastermind who TORE through this game. I'm just a kid who likes diddling around online. Like you are. So please, consider hearing me out and I hope that in 24 hours I will have proven that I'm worthy of your vote.[/align] |

[align=center]Warning: May contain explicit sex scenes (at least I hope so) Congratulations final three. I'm sure the entire jury is not completely satisfied at seeing the three of you here, but I have to say, I really am. Having you three as the finalists is a great end to a great game. Whatever happens tonight, there can not be a bad winner imo. Before I get to my question, allow me my juror's indulgence at briefly discussing each of you. ![]() Dawny ![]() Your story of first boot to finalist would inspire any ORGer with a soul. But for me personally, you were such an amazing ally, that it really takes it to another level to see you here at the end of the game. Like me, you were booted for being part of some great alliance in the first round. I never really confirmed it, but I'm pretty sure you weren't in any alliances at that stage :lol: You know how Sinnoh was though, the truth was pretty much irrelevant compared to all the story-telling. But when you got to Hoenn, you obviously changed all that. It seems you tucked in gradually to a nice, and properly established alliance. By the time I got there, you had a good read on everyone on your tribe. I trusted your judgement about which way we should go on that first vote. Mostly because you had been there so much longer than me, but also because you were just a really easy person to trust. Somehow you could establish the same rapport in a paragraph or two that most people seem to need to write huge PMs to achieve. Probably because you were being genuine. Having good judgement was probably your greatest strength - despite your beasty challenge skills. Because although we would have been safe had we sided with Wally/Flannery/May for the time being, no way would any of them have risked rocks for us at the Hoenn final five the way Roxy, Wattson and Norman did. So I credit you with that call. Also, of all the people who attempted to portray arena confidence, including myself lol, you oozed it effortlessly. You didn't go out of your way to say you were a great dueller, but when the time came and I volunteered for the arena, you just went, okay well I'm going out so I'll just leave a self vote and you guys can do whatever you want. It was SO confident. I really never got the impression you were faking it like half of us were. And I'm pretty sure you weren't. Good luck with this vote. I loved working with you. ![]() Gardenia ![]() Wow, what a topsy-turvy game you have had too. Talk about Dawn's great story arc but yours is almost as dramatic. You were a part of my blindside in round two. But I do believe you were not a facilitator. During that phase of the game you had activity issues so I genuinely believed that it was out of your hands. A PM of heads up would have been appreciated though. Like, of the eight people on the tribe, not a single soul told me. That was kinda gross, considering there were no idols in the game or anything I could do about it.BUT, when I came back to Sinnoh after my first win, it turns out you were the one I save from the arena. They had considered you inactive and wanted to take you out because of it. That was harsh, because it's a non-live game and you always logged in and replied to PMs even when you were really busy. Eventually though, you ended up in the arena. But after winning - hooray - you returned to the place that had betrayed you. Much like Dawn, you managed to find a new groove there at least for a little while, although always close to the bottom - but the bigger-fish-to-fry mentality kept you and your UTR game safe. Plus people just liked you. You're really likable. The merge couldn't have come at a better time. And despite being in the arena, you and Candice formed strong bonds with Hoenn. Those bonds established at the merge were the springboard for you to play the double agent deep into the merge, always staying safe from the vote and having both sides convinced you were with them. You may have got lucky on a challenge, but luck is part of the game. Nobody gets to the end without it (except delusional people who never need luck - and you're not one of them). You would have to be the odds-on unbackable favourite going into this FTC, but you're up against two great competitors, so nothing is ever certain. Good luck so much. I really enjoyed your positive presence in the game. ![]() Wally, Wally, Wally You look so perfect standing there, in my American Apparel underwear. I often wonder if you ever felt stalked by me - because you should have :lol: I fricken loved you so much - you were a God. Every PM I got from you was a joy to behold. You have to be one of the smoothest players I have ever played with. I came SOOOO close to siding with you, May and Flannery that day, and it was mostly down to you and your indefatigable charm. I was not surprised you survived on Sinnoh when you went over there, because you could sell ice to Eskimos. But with all your experienced style and finesse, in the end I trusted the simplistic honesty of Dawn more. But the point is moot, I believe you were both very genuine at the time. I was being legit when I wanted to volunteer for the arena rather than vote you out. THAT's how smooth you are. Roxy and Dawn talked me around to not leaving - explaining that if I lost, it would hurt them. And so I gave them one last chance to change their minds and then basically I got Shawna'd into not doing it. I didn't wanna quit, I just didn't want to vote for any of you guys. That was just one of the many Volkner meltdowns. I had plenty before and then again after. But you were the catalyst behind that one. You and your damn charm :lol: As much as I wished you and May had made your move earlier, and saved me instead of Wattson, I honestly wouldn't have pushed you to make that move then because it didn't make a lot of sense in the position you were in. I'm not even sure it made sense the next round either, but I was so glad you did. In my experience of the game, the good guys won so it made it such a cathartic moment for me. I think you're facing the toughest battle to victory of the three competitors, but you would also make an amazing winner if you could pull it off. So, now that I have made the whole jury, the lurkers, the hosts and the final three completely nauseous with all the nice things I have to say, it's time for the very serious business of my question. My question to you all is the same, and it comes in two parts. ***************************************** 1. The jury contains 8 people. I would like you to match us all into pairs to go on 4 separate dates. I would like a brief paragraph about who went on each date, where they went and what they did. How the date went and whether they will be seeing each other again. 2. Part two of the question, you must tell me which couple you would like to crash in on the date of and make up a threesome with, and why. Good luck to you all :<3[/align] |

Hello sexy~ Thank you for the kind words. The game would've been SO different had you sided with us, but despite losing Flanny early I think this game turned out great, so I can't be mad at you~ As for the pairings: and - Aren't they just a match made in heaven? I'm sure they would hit it off ~right~ away. Roark would take Fantina to Restaurant Le Wow, treat her to the fanciest of Gogoat Steak. Then the two would stroll around The Prism Tower, and right on top the first kiss would happen. Roark wouldn't use too much tongue, and Fantina would like that very much.Second date? Definitely. and - They're both crazy, and I'm sure they'd have tons of fun just shooting shit with each other. Norman would probably take Candice to a carnival and shower her with big fluffy teddybears, cotton candy and popsicles. The big finish to the night would be on the ferris wheel, where Candice decides that it would be funny to rock the compartment they're in. The big kiss doesn't happen - Norman is afraid to kiss an underage girl among all those judgemental people.Second date? Nope, Norman doesn't get any action I'm afraid. and - This is the one time where eHarmony wasn't at it's best. Maylene would be headstrong in that she wants to go camping, to which Wattson gives in - but in secret he's planning to fake an injury so he can get out of the physical terror. When Wattson "pulls a hamstring", he asks Maylene if they could just go to a movie. The two would catch some action-movie which would appeal to most. At the end Wattson tries to kiss her, but Maylene gives her the cold shoulder. Why would she go out with anyone who pulled his hamstring so easily?Second date? Probably not. and - Just the handsome-est guy for my gurl. I feel that May would be perfect to show new experiences to a guy like Volkner. She's probably take him to a swinger-group where they'd have lots of anonymous sex. At first Volkner wouldn't like it, but after seeing how pro May is in it I'm sure he'd get the hang of it.Second date? Yes. Eventually the two would you would develop an unhealthy master/slave relatonship. For the sheer hotness factor that is the date I'd crash too. Good company, good sex~ |

Hey Volky!! You brought a big change to my story in this game so thank you so much for being a part of it ![]() Date #1: Norman and Fantina. The eldest (Excluding Mr Wattson) and most wise. Normy and Fantina go to a lodge in Norway, which Fantina doesn't particularly enjoy due to the temperature, but she sticks with it for the chance at becoming May's step-mother so she can be evil to her and get revenge. Normy doesn't say too much the entire trip but is fascinated by Fantina's hair and makes plans to go crazy with his someday. They tell each other it was a nice time but don't make further plans ![]() Date #2: Candice and Mr Wattson. This one is more of a friend-date so they can bond a little more than they could in the Stadium. They go to a Pokemon theme park and Mr Wattson chuckles like a jolly old man the whole time. They have a great day and promise to hang out again some time ![]() Date #3: Maylene and Rocky. They had a fun time working together during the game and agree to further their relationship that was tragically cut short. Of course, they wait for Maylene to grow a few years older before anything serious happens, but they remain good friends for now and hang out at each other's home from time to time. They marathon the movies Rocky I-V before Maylene's bed time, but promise to watch the rest together the next weekend. ![]() Date #4: May and Volkner. An interesting choice to most outsiders, but deep down Volkner wants to learn how to pull of a bandana. May's spunky and uplifting attitude (and love for shopping) results in the two of you having a wonderful date at the mall, culminating in dinner and a movie. The spark inside May catches Volkner's love for electric types. They have a great time and will definitely be seeing each other again. Because I'm such a super-awesome winglady, I'm totally going to crash Candy and Mr Wattson's friend-date so I don't interfere with the romance of the other 3 couples AND OMG POKEMON THEME PARK who wouldn't want to go there?

Srs hats on now. 1. Which vote post merge did you find the most fun? 2. If you could be any shoe in the world what would you be? 3. If I have 8 fridge magnets and give 2 to each to 3 different friends, and they then give each other 1 of there own, if they then split them up into quarters and give 3 away to one person each before that person gives 3 pieces back to me, how many fridge magnets will I then need to buy to spell out the phrase "Gardenia is my life" on my fridge? |

Sup. 1. The F5. It was just funny to me because of how it turned out despite what was ~said~ in messages. I lol'd. 2. Jimmy Choo's. Duh. 3. None. You can borrow my fridge magnets for free. Currently they spell "I am fiery dealings", but you can rearrange them. |

I've put on my best dress tonight and prepared this little statement
[/align]
For my awesome statement I would like to super-quickly outline the key moments in my story and game, all of which allowed me to get to where I am now!!
Of course centuries had passed since we were together but I felt like our brief bonding on Day 1 had paid off for the both of us and she was happy to join up with Volkner, Wattson, Norman and me 
May trying to steal my Poké Ball at the start of the game.

"you've certainly done a lot better than *anyone* thought you would 




"I figured that you were the only threat to me winning this game so I thought that May & Wallace would go for me, so I decided to try and knock you out myself in the Arena."

[/align]




But I do believe you were not a facilitator. During that phase of the game you had activity issues so I genuinely believed that it was out of your hands. A PM of heads up would have been appreciated though. Like, of the eight people on the tribe, not a single soul told me. That was kinda gross, considering there were no idols in the game or anything I could do about it.

- They're both crazy, and I'm sure they'd have tons of fun just shooting shit with each other. Norman would probably take Candice to a carnival and shower her with big fluffy teddybears, cotton candy and popsicles. The big finish to the night would be on the ferris wheel, where Candice decides that it would be funny to rock the compartment they're in. The big kiss doesn't happen - Norman is afraid to kiss an underage girl among all those judgemental people.
- This is the one time where eHarmony wasn't at it's best. Maylene would be headstrong in that she wants to go camping, to which Wattson gives in - but in secret he's planning to fake an injury so he can get out of the physical terror. When Wattson "pulls a hamstring", he asks Maylene if they could just go to a movie. The two would catch some action-movie which would appeal to most. At the end Wattson tries to kiss her, but Maylene gives her the cold shoulder. Why would she go out with anyone who pulled his hamstring so easily?
