UCD Survivor: Round 1.

hullaballoo

Chakar, Byrno, cut out the chat. No one wants to have to read through that, least of all me. And I have to.

Right, so the first challenge.

I know I said it would be at 9.30 pm last night or tonight, but I lied. It's called "Survivor", not "Have an Easy Life with Cake and Fluff".

So, the first person to find my first post wins this task. Post the link to it up here. Anyone not playing who takes part in this will be disqualified from taking part in the future. If anyone PMs other users with the answer/clues, they will be disqualified.

Just in case anyone thinks this is too difficult, here's irlrobins' first post:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2765989#post2765989.

Now, that took me the guts of 5 minutes.

Best of luck.

Can I nominate myself to be the 1st person to be in this compertition?

If you look closely there is a funny word hidden in the post above...

hullaballoo

You win ten points. If you had been wrong first time around, you would have lost 2 points. So the points for the first task stand:
irlrobins: 10
The rest: 0.

If you win the next task first time around, you pick up twelve points and will get immunity. If there is a draw after the next one, no one gets immunity.

If someone else comes in and gets twelve points for the next challenge, they win immunity and there's a vote to see who goes.

Because MNG seems to dislike the way I'm running this, it will be a public poll, so we can see who votes for who. It will be closed to other people though, so only the survivors can vote. (Anyone else who votes will be disqualified from taking part again, and I'll edit out their vote.)

Pythia, if you're going away, and lose, that's unfortunate. You can still take part, but if you don't win any points, it's unlikely you'll be able to stay on.

It wasn't the voting system you planned that I disliked, it was the points system.

There were times in the last Survivor contest where everyone wanted me off (can't imagine why) but because I won the immunity challenge I saved myself. That's the good part of the contest.

As I understand this current system, if everyone else wanted irlrobins off and he won this immunity challenge, he would still need to win another one to survive in the competition. I think that's bad. But hey, I'm a traditionalist.

Inspired by this challenge I went and had a look at some of my earlier posts.... and I have to say I'm quite embarrassed, they're all so very childish I use txtspk and don't use capital AT ALL and over-smiley every post! I've improved so much though [no seriously I have] which is something to be grateful for right?

...and another thing just over a year ago I was such a MNG groupie http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2651853&postcount=70

LOL. Did I PM you though or did you just enjoy the way I played it?

hullaballoo

Cut out the chat.

Right, the next challenge is going to go up in the evening time either today or tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow.

Ok, the next challenge is a multi-part challenge. That way, there can be a clear points difference.

Each correct entry will be worth 2 points. Here goes: find as many posts as possible where WhiteWashMan has called someone a fúcktard. There is a 24-hour time limit. Every entry must refer to a different occasion.

MNG, it wasn't related to this thread.

Do we post it up here or via PM ?

Edit; Sorry bout the OTness I'll try harder in future.

Think the second one won't count scraggs as it's just someone quoting WWM.

Scraggs

Scraggs

How about we wait to hear what Hulla has to say?

*crosses everything in nervous+ wishful anticipation*

hullaballoo

Neither of Scragg's count because the first one was posted by irlrobins, and the second one is Daddio quoting from the first post.

Edit: dajaffa, you have to actually link the post.

irlrobins

Scraggs

hulla <dammit - stop doing that!> has spoken!

dajaffa

Scraggs

Does that mean i'm in the lead? I'll enjoy this sucess, however short-lived

hullaballoo

No, you have 0 points. irlrobins is the only one with any points, and he has 2 of them.

Scraggs

Scraggs

But...I clicked the same little # on the right as he did? asmittedly I posted it slower like but I had challenge finished when I first posted asking where to post ans..

I think I'm too slow to be a real survivor:(...


...although slow and steady does win the race:D

irlrobins

Scraggs

Is there more than one occurence of fúcktard?
I can't find any more, even with using the two searchs and regular expressions in google.

Have I lost my nerdiness due to over exposure in the sun???? :eek:

hullaballoo

I guarantee you that while you're in here pleading your case with me, irlrobins is off finding another ten posts (maybe not /edit) in which WWM called someone a fúcktard. I'll also take certain variants of fúcktard as well.

dajaffa

Scraggs

I'm too computerologically retarded to do that but it the 17th post. Don't hate me cause of my stoopidness

Edit: damn I didn't even get that one first

Scraggs

Scraggs

I'll have you know I was thorough before I posted! I tried everything from fúcktrad to even fecktard [eventhough thats not exactly WWM's style]...

Fine I'm just a sore loser:(
also a fúcktard newbie

dajaffa

Scraggs

I can't link the post cause I don't know how. It's no. 27

I'd like to apologise to Hulla and the other contestants for acting like a petulant child earlier ..I'll be more sportsmanlike in future [well maybe not 'man'like!]

Pffft don't worry about it.

We'll get some points eventually Scraggs!!!

Er..the search function on the boards is disabled what do we use to find the posts..Google? or?

hullaballoo

Ah, well it doesn't really matter at this stage. irlrobins wins immunity.

Now the vote. Right survivors, you each get one vote to vote someone else out. You can vote for anyone except irlrobins, and the poll will be public. Good luck!

Woot!
Do my points return to 0 after this round?

humbert

does irlrobins vote?

hullaballoo

Yeah he does. Blush_01 and MNG do not vote though. It's for competitors only. TheGnome has lost the vote and will no longer partake in the UCD Survivor. I'm just waiting for himself, Chakar, Scraggs, SingingStranger and Pythia to give up their votes before I close the poll and start round 2!

dajaffa

Scraggs

Singingstranger is at home at the mo so probably won't be online for a lickle while (he hasn't been online for 2 days, *gasp*), but does send his apologies...

And chakar, what were you thinking. You may have made me angry, YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY (courtesy of Mr Hulk esq.)
