Survivor: SWF. Tribal Council Ends 2/16 6:00 PM EST!

[Riddle]

This is the reason I'm main co-mod, is because Mcfox has to be filtered by me.

However, we've already had this discussion in PM, and I've tried to explain that breaking a rule isn't fair for anyone. I also explained to you why your rule breaking did have effect in the game, and allows more lee-way for further cheating if we let you go with a slap on the wrist. You admit yourself that "this probably wouldn't have been the only time it happened."If we allowed you to stay in the game, you could not be trusted.

It is also further unfair to try to make this a public matter, because we have already had this exact conversation privately. You say you're alright with the decision, but you obviously are not. However, since you've decided to make this public, I whole-heartedly agree with you that it is unfair to the people you had an alliance with... and I genuinely feel sorry for those people because it might be hard for them to make a comeback in the game. You say it's unfair to the other people in the game that you are dropped, but you only have yourself to blame for that burden, because you are the one who broke the rules. The only other thing I could do is to end the game (which I told myself I would do if I found out people were cheating) but I think that would just make people sad.

I also fail to see why the rule needs to be changed, seeing that I've done my best attempt to shape these rules to mimic the game of REAL LIFE Survivor. I will take any critique at endgame, but that's where I will take it; not during the game during the midst of discovering two rule breakers.

However, knowingly cheating and breaking the rules is exactly that, and never goes without punishment as long as I am the mod.

Finally, the rule of cheating has always been in the first post. If you did not want to pay the consequences, you should not have broken the rules.

If you continue to want to talk, then I would wish that you would continue in PM. However, from my perspective, continuing in thread only blackens yourself.

I'd just like to thank you for respectfully addressing my concerns. I understand where you are coming from 100% and see the reasoning behind your decision. I still disagree, but that doesn't lower my respect for you at all.

I truly wish you well in hosting the rest of this game and hope everybody else has fun and does well as well.

Have fun everyone! (This is my last post)

Hyrule, getting your first look at the new Mushroom Kingdom.

X1-12 voted out at the last tribal council.

Here's the clue for your next immunity challenge.

The immunity challenge will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, January 18th, at 9:30pm EST. See you there!

 

[Mayling]

Welcome back Survivors!! I know you're patiently awaiting your immunity challenge, but first I have a very important announcement to make...

You're merging!! That's right... now you're all a very happy Pichu Pi family!

Now that Hyrule and Mushroom Kingdom have merged, you all need to make a new tribe name and submit it to me.

Anyway, onto the challenge. Now that you're merged you will be competing for INDIVIDUAL immunity, and this thread can now be used in between challenges again.

This challenge tests your eyes and your ability to think.

Everyone will be given the same word search puzzle along with a bank of words. All the words are themed. It's probably a good idea to download the image and open it in paint so you can manipulate it. Collect the letters that interconnects two words and make a NEW word (or words) and submit that word to me. Sometimes we'll give a hint to what it is, sometimes not.

There are THREE legs to this race. The first five to submit the saying/word to me will move onto to complete a new puzzle. Then, the top two from that leg will move on. Those two will compete for the final individual immunity. You may PM the answer to me through AIM or thru SWF PM system.

The winner will have a guaranteed spot on the jury.

I will allow until 9:50 PM EST for questions.

 

[Tandora]

Yay, I'm so glad to be able to post here again!

 

[Xivii]

Hi guys.

 

[vanderzant]

Collect the letters that interconnects two words and make a NEW word (or words) and submit that word to me. Sometimes we'll give a hint to what it is, sometimes not.

---

Will the words be made from remaining letters? I'm not sure what is meant by interconnecting words...

 

[Dooms]

Pika Daikazoku~ :D

 

[Tandora]

Can we still talk privately until 9:50?

 

[Mayling]

Imagine tihs:

f a r t
l
u

You would collect F. Then use F to make a new word once you collect all the letters.

Oh, btw, all the words exist forward, back, diagonally, diagonally backward, down; there's like every possible combination. It's not just all forward, or down.

 

[Mayling]

Can we still talk privately until 9:50?

Yes, you can.

 

[Xivii]

When a person completes a puzzle, will they immidiately move on to the next one? Or will they have to wait until everyone in the leg is finished or time is up?

 

[Cello_Marl]

Are the letters already in order, or do we have to unscramble them?

 

[vanderzant]

OK thanks for that!

 

[Ryunnosuke]

Can't post, god help me.

 

[Cello_Marl]

Can horizontal/vertical words consist of the same letters?

s
m
a
s
h
e
l
l

smash/shell

 

[Ryunnosuke]

Until suddenly I could post... pfft.

 

[Mayling]

When a person completes a puzzle, will they immidiately move on to the next one? Or will they have to wait until everyone in the leg is finished or time is up?

When a person completes a puzzle, they give me the final word OR words. Then, they wait to see who else completes the puzzle. The first five to complete the puzzle AND give me the final word OR words move on to get a chance to compete for individual immunity.

Are the letters already in order, or do we have to unscramble them?

You will probably collect the letters in different order, so I can't answer this question.

TIME EXTENDED FOR MORE QUESTIONS UNTIL 9:55 PM EST.

 

[Cello_Marl]

Rather, more than one of the same letters was my question.

 

[Mayling]

Can horizontal/vertical words consist of the same letters?

No, they can't.

 

[Cello_Marl]

Good luck, all!

 

[Mayling]

The image will go up at 9:56 PM EST!

 

[Kirbyoshi]

I'm so confused.

@Mayling: Could you do a complete sample? Maybe finish the "fart" puzzle? Just so we all know how it's done, because I, for one, am gonna take forever just figuring out the rules. Also, I probably won't be able to post during the challenge. But I won't definitely be gone. So we'll see.

 

[vanderzant]

Kirb the point was that you have to make a word using the 'F'.

 

[Tandora]

Good luck all!

 

[Tandora]

This thread has so many artificial views from everyone refreshing. <3

 

[Mayling]

Okay, I'll try to give a small example so everyone gets what I'm saying.

h s F A R T l a s
d f L i s f k e d
j e U k r l d w

This looks like something you'll get. You would circle FART and cross it off your word bank. You would circle FLU and cross it off your word bank. The words would not be capitalized, they're just there to show you what you're looking for.

You would do this for ALL the words in your word bank, to collect the letters that INTERSECT. F is used in both fart and flu, so you would 'collect' it. You would take these letters, and then unscramble the letters to create a WORD.

Does that make sense?

 

[vanderzant]

^ Yes, yes it does.

 

[Mayling]

You collect the letters to create a WORD or WORDS**

 

[Ryunnosuke]

Makes sense to me.

 

[Xivii]

ikimasho !

 

[Cello_Marl]

What if we come up with words that are can be made with the letters provided, but are not what you had in mind?

 

[Tandora]

^Weeaboo!!

 

[Mayling]

THE WORD PUZZLE WILL GO UP AT 10:05 PM EST!

Good luck survivors!

 

[Xivii]

Cello is such a weeaboo

 

[Ryunnosuke]

Then obviously you need to try again... also quit timing your questions when the game is supposed to start.

 

[Mayling]

What if we come up with words that are can be made with the letters provided, but are not what you had in mind?

We are looking for a specific word or saying. Sometimes we'll give a hint to what we're looking for, otherwise it's your best guess.

Also, you if you guess and are wrong, you can resubmit in three minutes.

 

[#HBC | Nabe]

English words only? Are there proper nouns, or no?

 

[Mayling]

There are English words only, and there are proper nouns. There is a word bank for the word search puzzle.

 

[Cello_Marl]

I think he meant for the word we're trying to form.

 

[Mayling]

hint for the final word/s: none
