Survivor: Boards.ie - Final Round

Gordon

Welcome to the final round of Survivor: Boards.ie!

This is the last Survivor thread in the present season and the winner will stand to win 25 euros in vouchers. This will consist of 4.50 euros in CD Wow vouchers thanks to OFDM and 20.50 euro worth of vouchers or credit that will be negotiated by the winner and myself. I've upped the prize from my initial 15 euros, and OFDM has upped his vouchers from 50 cents. Thanks OFDM.

In this thread - all you need to do is vote for the person that YOU WANT TO WIN. The contestants tovalee and mayordenis do not have to take a challenge or write a stupid essay with missing words or stand on their head while gargling water. The rule is - whoever gets the most votes: wins.

I'm making this poll private unlike the previous few and I'm setting it to close in 5 days time. Please adhere to the rules of boards or you may be disqualified. If you have any questions about this don't hesitate to PM me.

Good luck to you both! You've done sterlingly to get this far. Mayordenis has kept his head low, won the last vital challenge and forged alliances and tovalee has won many challenges and remained neutral and 'Ghandi'esque in her attitude. Thanks to you and the rest of the contestants I think a fairly large number of boards users have been entertained so 'at the end of the day' you are all winners. Therefore if you come second you will still be a winner in my books.

And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.

Vote well and prosper!

I voted for the Mayor as I like his cool dry wit.

tovalee

I know that up until now, i've been very neutral in my game strategy.And i've said i didnt want the prize. But it occured to me today that i do infact,want it quite badly. Please vote for me. I will ask Grdon that the prize go here or to a similar organization in the name of the boards.ie community.

Ro: maaan!

This is a crazy see-saw of a race! Who will be in the lead next?

So tovalee does have a dark side! I knew it! OK, let's see some controversy in this final round.

That seems possible except for the CDWow vouchers.

tovalee

As you wish tovalee, very sporting of you.

tovalee

since i've offered to donate the prize to diabetes research, i've actually received several votes against me. so i will sweeten the deal by putting my money where my mouth is so to speak. If i win, i will make an additional personal donation in the name of boards.ie to the research of Cystic Fibrosis.help fight 2 diseases with one little click. vote for tovalee!!!!!

mayordenis

I will use the money to buy something nice for me

And people thought my tactics were bad?! At least I never offered to help others and give back to the community. Disgusting stuff!

roar_ie

I just gave tovalee the lead becuase of the good will gesture and all

I'm going to ban spammers from After Hours permanently.

This includes non-commercial spam, PMs and other types of spam. Let's consider it under *Stupidity* for the craic.

tovalee, I'm looking at you.

comon tovalee just tied ya there :P

hi, if you were referring tothis post i put in the accessability/mobility/ disablity forum, i apologize, i didnt mean to offend anyone. that is the only forum ,and in fact the only mention of survivor i've put anywhere outside of the thread itsself and only thought it might be an appropriate forum to raise awareness to the fact that I honestly am intending to donate the money to researching genetic diseases. again i apologize for any misunderstanding, i only titled the thread "spamming for a cure" as a sort of tongue in cheek gesture but apparently it was not taken as such.

mayordenis

Well until this tovalee i really thought you were a good competitor but this has been silly,
I could go on to another forum and tell people about the money i've given to charity's but i wont because it is not in very good taste.

As many a parent has said "i'm not angry, i'm disapointed"

funky penguin

If my mother or father said that I think I'd be scarred for life. I can handle an angry parent, but not a disappointed one.

Who knew tovalee could be capable of this?

What the hell, as if!

tovalee

yep, just goes to show you, no good deed goes unpunished.

tovalee, the fact that you advertised what was supposed to be a "good deed" in order to attain votes for yourself in the final pretty much nullifies the idea of this being a "good deed" and leaves it looking like a stunt in order to win the game.

funky penguin

But we all knew it was just a stunt.

tovalee

oh for petes sake, i give up. vote for whoever for crying out loud. they're getting their donation one way or the other the only difference is i wanted to put it in the name of boards.ie. I posted one thread on one forum which was the closest thing i could find to an appropriate forum. It's awful that people are so jaded that you cant even try to do a good deed without being looked at with suspicion.

Adam

I'm with tovalee, because i believe she had the best intentions!

funky penguin

Way to go Mr. Nice Guy! Now look what you've done! Upset the Tov!

/Me legs it.

Trojan

I understand your frustration tovalee. Boards is being hit quite a lot by spammers, and more recently we're suffering due to losing ecksor and his wonderfully intolerant ways.

With that in mind, the nature of the AH board, and given the previous PM spamming from MNG, we've been watching the survivor participants quite closely. When you posted on AMD it was not appreciated due to this past history, and not because of some perverse wish to punish you for good deeds.

Perhaps you're a little unfortunate in this case, but at the same time note that you have not yet been banned

hth,
Al.

People are looking at your "good deed" with suspicion because you went to a forum for disabled people and highlighted what you were doing and you asked them to vote for you. Add this to your earlier realisation that you badly want to win this contest and you're left with a contestant who has left her sneakiness until very late indeed!

This "good deed" stinks of being a voting ploy and it remains to be seen how many people will be influenced by it.

Trojan

I'm tempted to ban MNG just for the hell of it.

funky penguin

Wait wait wait wait wait! Hold an phone!........wait a sec, gimme a minute to regroup here.

Mayordenis is a Female?

RE*AC*TOR

oh christ tovalee!! what were you thinking?

its only a fecking game! diabetes actually means something to a lot of people. (i know, I work in Diabetic Nephropathy research). This is not something to be toyed with for the purpose of winning this pissant little competition.
