Boards.ie Survivor is back again! Some of you must be pretty sick of seeing a Survivor thread popping up on Afterhours all the time, if this is the case my advice is: go away. My apologies go out to all that took part in the most recent challenge - #6 the Endurance round, it was a little bad of me to do that. But hey, you wanted to take part in Survivor and you must have seen what they have to do on the telly version of survivor right?! I for one am glad that it is over though, trying to read funky penguins posts were eye-boggling.

Kudos to Mr. Nice Guy, after a hard slog against powerhousedan to stay in the previous elimination poll he survived and went on to win this latest endurance challenge. Mr. Nice Guy did however make an astounding show of not reading the rules properly on many occasions, and even missed out on two obvious 'sacred words' that were posted. However, this time the nice guy [insert cliche here]. Hard luck to funky penguin who has just yesterday been voted off by MNG. Well done for getting this far in the contest though, you would have made it if MNG actually was nice and voted himself off instead of you

The next round should be a bit easier than the last. I have PMd the latest challenge to our 4 remaining contestants: Mr. Nice Guy, tba, tovalee and mayordenis.

In this round nobody as of yet has immunity. However the person that completes the challenge I have set via PM first will then gain immunity from being voted off Survivor round 7. Therefore the poll I have created on this thread is valid for this challenge and vice versa. If a contestant is voted off via the poll above, but the same contestant wins the challenge and gains immunity - they will not be voted off. If this occurs then the second most voted for contestant will be voted off. This means that either voters should think twice before voting, or they should hold off until a challenger wins the... challenge.

However, if no contestant wins the challenge by the time the poll closes then nobody will gain immunity to this round. Either way we will see only 3 contestants enter the next round.

A word on the poll. Do not break any boards rules by gaining votes for this poll. If I decide that you have been spamming or signing up accounts purely to increase votes I will not grant you immunity and depending on the severity I may kick you off Survivor.

The type of challenge I have set to the contestants is a bit of a cryptic search, I can't really elaborate more however. The first person to post on this thread - a certain piece of information - will gain immunity.

The prize for the final winner of Survivor will now be 15 euros worth of some voucher from some website and a 1 Euro voucher from CD-Wow.

Incidentally, I am always willing for input on how Survivor is run, if you have any comments PM me or post on this thread. This applies to non Survivor challengers mainly as I am unlikely to take on board that which a Survivor contestant wishes. My rough rule is that if a contestant is happy then I'm doing something wrong!

Contestants: Good luck and God's peed.

If it's an answer like tba's I've been on completely the wrong track. I'll guess again that the numbers are 2005 and 10.

If the answer is not 19 99, (or 01 01) is it 1999 and 2?

tovalee is correct! tovalee you are now immune from this poll and are guaranteed to be put in to the running for the next round.

Well done tovalee, I'm glad you didn't get it the first time though, I wasn't sure how tricky that was. For those that wish to know the challenge it is this:

h! gamey poem togo

Clue: Always check your sources.

As for the reasoning behind the correct answer, sure we'll let you stew for a while. Unless tovalee wants to explain it.

Please tell me why that is correct. Surely Yahoo! was a factor in this right?

MNG I think you shuffled the letters the wrong way. There is a clue at the end of it. (and I don't mean the "Clue")

Gordon, the onus is on you to reveal the answer otherwise it could be claimed you are taking tovalee's word for it.

OK, I see I was bested. I thought Yahoo! was to be searched as it is a source of information. I read it as :

Go GET ME YAHOO! MP

And I saw there was a Yahoo Mail Plus which costed 19.99 and had 2 dollars off. Doh!

Aha! very good, if I was giving out extra points I'd probably give you a half.

the reason i put 01 01 the first time is because the date on your profile page for the last edit of your journal was 01 01 1970. That looked like a birthday to me.

Okay, Tovalee won this round, so what is to make us vote for anyone? Do the contestants have to make some sort of "dont evict me" speech? I dont want to vote for someone for just the sake of it.

A glance at the previous rounds will show that I deserve to stay in this contest. I am the true survivor! tba hasn't even been here since the start. He needs to go.

powerhousedan, why did you vote for me? Is it because I knocked you out a few rounds ago? I didn't think you would be so petty. It's a shame.

You can't criticise me since you used the very same tactics! It wasn't 'spamming' it was campaigning. I bested you and you should do the right thing and support me to win!

funky penguin, you are gone thanks to me. I would've thought you would acknowledge more than anyone that I'm the best contestant.

Sour grapes all round is it?
