This thread is the best drama of the game :lol: Bill I get what you are sayin'. I feel like cause none of Merlotte's had what it took to win a challenge...the odds were never in our favor n' its like we were almost doomed n' only a couple miracles would have put us back on a level playin' field. I will say your tribe really hated you for whatever reason n' it didn't make much sense to me...but I ain't had to be with you from day one. N' I'm real grateful you returned cause if they ain't hate you so much then I would have been 10th place instead ![]() I ain't want to blame the format for where we ended up though. Is it the best format in the world? Hell naw. But I'm glad I tried it once. Its like playin' BB...only with tribes thrown in n' the HoH only gettin' to make one real nom. I think if there was some back n' forth action goin' on with the both tribes winnin' power at the merge, then I think this would have been a ton more excitin'. But it ain't the format's fault that ain't happen. Merlotte's just really sucked n' I have no problems admittin' that. I usually ain't so outstandin' in challenges but on that tribe I stuck out like a sour thumb. I also would not have done that differently though. I loved bein' the star player who everyone had to suck up to while on Merlotte's. It just made my life impossible at the merge is all. Uh this is gettin' long winded now but what I'm sayin' is luck played a factor in this too. If someone from Merlotte's had won the first merged sheriffs, then I think you could have potentially made it a lot further cause the two tribes would have gone at it n' you would have been able to slip through the cracks maybe. Sorry that ain't happen. |

Well maybe it's just that the majority of games I experienced had 1 person who dominated most of the challenges. It's just the way it is online because there are certain people who are faster with computers, or know more tricks, and will win almost every challenge because of it. Rarely have I ever seen challenge wins spread out among people, and that is why I don't understand why people continue to use formats that let challenges dictate so much. It makes it so damn lop-sided. Sure, some games may be a bit more balanced in terms of challenge strength, but why even take the risk? The outcome of this game is proof enough. More than half of us were not happy about our position in the game. MORE than 50%. Why couldn't we do anything about it? Because numbers mean fuck all lol. It becomes a game of sucking up to whoever is strong in challenges, and hope you give better head than anyone else sucking up. Every other aspect of the game becomes less important. I think to balance it out a bit, maybe next time there could be a rule against back to back Sheriffs. Maybe the odd luck challenge, as much as I hate those. But with challenges weighing so heavily, luck challenges are almost needed, just to open up for more possibilities in the game, making it a bit more exciting. |

It's not his job to make challenges you can win lol. And it's not like its the same one person winning sheriff every night. 5 of the 8 left have all won it before. |

I usually hate luck challenges too but boy could we have used one in this merge. I also think maybe not bein' able to win back to back challenges would have made it more interestin'. Of course on the flip side I would hate that if my back was up against the wall n' I actually need to win sheriff every night to stay but...yeah. This is definitely a format that caters to challenge whores more than social players, that is for dang sure. But I ain't gon' bitch 'bout that since I won my fair share :lol: N' you claim to be good in challenges so its not like we ain't had a chance, that's just the way the cookie crumbled with this merge. Havin' numbers was important...that's why the fangers are stickin' together so hard. But if you mean there ain't really been opportunities to make a move cause the same side wound up in power over n' over, I guess I agree. That ain't a format problem so much as a "oops our side just really sucks" problem though. |

That's rich coming from the only person that has won back-to-back thus far and has done it TWICE. |

It would have been more interestin' for me pre-merge if I couldn't. The one time I didn't I lost my blood bank partner. Maybe the next time it would have been me :lol: This game ain't been kind to your boy Jase. |

I can't tell if some of you are just trying to fit in, and are going just along with the mob mentality that you are supposed to disagree with me, or if you are actually that stupid that you seriously can't see what I've been arguing. You just have to use your own damn brain and think for yourself. It's not that complicated. I legit feel like I am talking to a brick wall when it comes to some people lol. I don't know why I even try. I'll spell it out step by step, but don't even bother responding to this post because I know I am right, and so do some of you. You just wont admit it because you are pussies. - More often than not, there is 1 person who dominates most of the challenges. - The challenge winner gets to nominate 1 person and save all his/her allies, forcing initial nominee and someone opposing the challenge winner to be nominated. So in a nutshell, that would conclude that: - The challenge winner basically dictates who leaves every round, since the nominees are both opposition to the winner. - If someone different wins a challenge, he/she is more inclined to feel too scared to take a shot at the strongest challenge competitor in this format, resulting in less of a chance of anything changing. - More people will suck up to the stronger challenge competitors, trying to get as close with them as possible. - In order to ensure that anyone at all that you aren't working with is even vulnerable, you have to win the challenge, or hope one of your allies does. The challenge winner not only saves his/herself and nominates someone.. this person also basically gives immunity to every single one of his/her allies with the line pick order. In any other fair format, you can still weaken a challenge winner by taking out their allies. In this one, he/she only gets stronger. - Someone who was working with the strongest person MAY eventually shift the lineup to turn things around, but that would rarely ever happen until way late in the game, especially in this format where 1 person's challenge win can have you nominated at the snap of a finger... and by then, a bunch of people were already victim to the same people winning challenges over and over, and never even had a chance, regardless of how many people may have wanted to help them. Anyway, the only thing I'm arguing is that the format gives a lot of power to those who are stronger in challenges, and takes away from the strategic aspect of the game. That is the only thing I am arguing, and it is nothing but a fact. It's a fact that can't be argued at all. It's why people were unable to do anything about their position when they really should have been able to, and why the boots have been so predictable. I know someone said 5 people remaining have won challenges, but that is just being narrow-minded. I'm talking about the potential of this format in general... not just this game. Although, this game is guilty of the things mentioned above as well. But again, don't bother responding to this post. I know how some of you are. You will just try to argue one of my points for no other reason than to just disagree with me. If you want to argue, then contact me privately. Except you most likely have no desire to discuss this privately because you don't care at all(meaning you are disagreeing with me to put on a show for everyone else). The point is that I am right because I spoke nothing but facts. Maybe some people like a format relying so heavily on challenges, in which case fine... don't change anything about it. I'm just saying it takes away from what makes an ORG fun, exciting, and unpredictable. Now leave me alone and go choke on a burrito or something. Actually go buy me burritos. I haven't had those in forever. Get me the spicy ones. Chimichangas are good too. |

Not any specific person. Just people who were attempting to argue. I don't care anymore anyway. Lets just see how the rest of the game plays out. |

I did put that much time and effort into my PMs lol. That's the thing. My PMs with you weren't as much in detail because I figured it was common sense that we needed to work together, and I didn't need to do much convincing with you. |

Well...you didn't :lol: I was basically on your side as soon as we met. But your tribe was clearly 'gainst you for a reason. I never fully got to see what all the fuss was 'bout though. |

Most of it was them just trying to fit in by appealing to everyone else who hated me, which I find to be pretty fake and disgusting. At least Pam didn't try to act like my friend privately, and then talk shit in public to appeal to everyone else. She blocked me from PMing her in like round 2. Even Russell's hatred didn't bother me that much, since we didn't hide our feelings for each other in PMs. It was mostly Andy's and Eric's comments that annoyed me because there was never any conflict between us. |

Shut the fuck up lol. Are you fucking kidding me? And the whole "Oh, I joined as favor" bullshit? No one gives a shit. I tried to drop this game repeatedly because I knew I wouldn't make half the rounds. I still put it in the effort when I could, and I think I whined about it...once or twice? Probably more because I'm a whiny cunt, but irrelevant. You are the most self-absorbed narrow-minded idiot I've ever seen. Clearly you are the only person who is ever right in your own little fucking world, and everyone else is bad and stupid. Girl, bye. Learn to think about anyone other than yourself for maybe even one second, and perhaps maybe, just fucking maybe, someone might actually consider being your friend in or outside of this. FUCK OFF. |
