Dear cast of Awful Survivor 6: Please do not, I repeat, DO NOT play this game. It is a horrible life choice.

Don't listen to her, as someone who hadn't "watched" any of the previous threads, I need to see someone go through what I've had to go through in real time instead of through archives.

I kind of agree with this, but I asked Cena and he said it's possible to put prize money towards an archives upgrade.

So FIGHT HARD, and any one of us can earn the right to read the backlogs of horror!

Awful Survivor really needs a psych department.

This year, the focus is making sure we're not so traumatized that we refuse to teach our (future) children how to count.

Winson_Paine, you're someone who has never had their name written down. But what preparations do you make, what things can you point to and justify, to convince the jury to write your name down at the end?

I have said this before, but I can't predict the course of the hearts and minds of the jurors any more than I could know a cloud will go the way I wish by shouting at it. I can merely be me as I am, and as hard as I can. My virtue should be self evident, I guess. If you want a less mystic answer, it is because I am a hell of a guy. As to who deserves to win? What a strange idea, deserving to win.

Alternately, if someone voted for me on the final jury, it would probably annoy Windshipper if his posts at the end are any judge. So if annoying windshipper is important to you, there is a concrete thing to point to. Hi Windy!

We're near the point where the game will leave your hands and go into that of the Jury's. Two more players will be joining the Jury before this game ends. You clearly have an idea who you want to sit on the Jury's bench down the line. My question to you is, do you have any question or statement you want to say to potential future jurors? Moves at this point could be $75 decisions. Think wisely.

I guess it is no secret it would be rad if Fast Luck was there, but he is a scrapper and could well fight his way in. Good on him if that happens. I doubt he would vote for me at this point if it comes up, but I think he should. It would be good for his soul. He is really the only one I have had any interactions with, assuming two Derfs get knocked out they pretty much know who I am and what I am by now from the Tribal doc. That is a boring answer, but it is what I got.

Also I really am taking this game seriously, really I am, but poo poo like "THIS IS A $75 DECISION" cracks my poo poo up.

OK this is not to curry favor with anyone and like, and this sort of thing was why I was uncomfortable being in the game, but the winner can have archives if they don't have it and an AV coupon that will work as long as I am a mod. Runner up can have an AV.

Also this, this game has been a hell of a lot of fun even as annoying as it was at times and as bad as I seem to be at it, and I say I am bad at it even as I am in the final five and hopefully cruising towards four. Just sayin, it is worthwhile.

Fast Luck, you've been on a bit of an immunity run. But even if you win the next Challenge and guarantee yourself a spot in the final three, will it be enough to win by just "being there?" What's the sub-game here?
The Durfs have been saying all game that if any non-Durf makes it to the end, that person will win. I'm not sure I buy that, but if I do make it to the end, I really hope they're right. In effect what I've been dealing with is that, while most of the Durfs are polite enough to respond to me if I try to chat with them, they are nevertheless in lock-down mode, and have been for awhile. There have been basically zero options in terms of trying to arrange any sort of deal or find any sort of fracture in their alliance, and that's all based on that principle: that if a non-Durf makes it to the end, game over.

We're near the point where the game will leave your hands and go into that of the Jury's. Two more players will be joining the Jury before this game ends. You clearly have an idea who you want to sit on the Jury's bench down the line. My question to you is, do you have any question or statement you want to say to potential future jurors? Moves at this point could be $75 decisions. Think wisely.
I don't know who might go to the jury in the future, because I'm not controlling this vote, but what would be really ideal would be if future jurors (or current ones..) who know me well can spread some good will for me over in that jury doc and win me some fans. :) If I lose a challenge, I'll be joining you all, so let's lay some nice foundations so my new home can supply a warm and friendly reception.

Okay guys, it's now time to vote. Using the above template, fill out on the parchment who you wish to vote for and PM it to Me. The person that receives the highest number of votes is the next person voted out of this game, losing their chance at the $75 grand prize.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
