Poll for current Survivor players. Need full participation

option 4. more challenges. om nom nom nom!!!!

 

Option 4 cause if it goes on weekend and week days no one will get a clear advantage and the game won't drag like it has been

 

I was between 2 and 3.

 

really, this game has been dragging. ever since the chess challenge it feels like this game is making no progress.

 

yeah option 4 is fine, on the stipulation that hopefully speed challenges during the week can be as late as possible to allow for west coasters to get home from work in time

 

I voted for four... and there's three people above me claiming the same... but there's only three votes for it

 

right. im not complaining, just giving feedback.

 

Quit ****ing complaining

 

My vote was number 5, with this as my vote -

Challenges starting on Mondays, maybe only one challenge per week, possibly extending into weekends if a longer challenge. If it's a quick challenge finishing before Wednesday or Thursday, start another one.

In hindsight, I guess this really isn't that much different from #4. So if it's close between 4 and any other options, consider me #4.

 

I don't feel like the game has been dragging. We've done 7 challenges in 9 weeks. That's not too bad when you consider that 2 of the challenges were week long challenges and we took a week+ break for Memorial day. Even the real Survivor takes weeks off. Personally, weeknights are awful for me because of school. I don't get home till 10, 11 EST most weeknights. This is fine if it's not a speed challenge, but hell last year during the maze challenge by the time I got home from school Dender had already done them all and the competition was over.

So to answer your question, I'm fine with challenges on the weekdays and the weekends both, but I would say that if you did a speed challenge during the week, like Penn said the later you could start it the better.

 

Doesn't the real survivor take place over ~40 days?

 

It's probably recorded over 40 days. But it airs over like 3-4 months.

 

Yes, that's correct, but it doesn't really help the point you were trying to make. At all.

( If you're going to go around saying you don't like me, I might as well make it so you have a reason to )

 

Trust me, I don't need more reasons.

 

They're getting paid.

 

His argument was from the contestants' perspective because... get this... we're contestants :P

If not, then it's like saying he wants to be a movie star, because you only have to work for two hours twice a year.

I'm pretty sure that there's a hoodie in it for the winner.... even though getting paid has nothing to do with this debate.

 

Was it really necessary to take a week off for a one day holiday? and honestly, you not being available for weeknights shouldnt factor into this at all. In fact, no ones schedule should factor into this game. you can either participate or you cant. simple as that.

 

I agree to a certain extent, but that's why I think there should be a mix of challenges that happen on weekdays or weekends. That way every player and every team is affected somewhat evenly. All weekend challenges is going to hurt the same people over and over again, and same for all weekday.

Personally I enjoy nerdy **** on the internet with the best of them but I also try and have a life. Life happens on the weekends for me and most people my age. I know a lot of you guys are younger meaning the difference between a weekday and weekend isn't so big.

 

You're missing the point. The real "Survivor" contestants... it's their job. They're all actors.

This isn't our job, thus the slower pace.

 

I'm not saying this to spite you, but rather because it's the best phrase to come to my mind: I agree to a certain extent.

I would like this to go on for as long as possible, because its the only football-related enjoyment I'm getting until college football starts... but on the other hand, we've nearly doubled the time it took to film a survivor season and we're not even at the merge. It's annoying to have to keep checking and the only update here is related to the Trowa/Skeet affair. I'd like to have something to do, even if its just a side challenge or something.

I know I have at least one backer when I say I feel like it's been dragging. Maybe we don't have to do a challenge a day, but maybe one speed and one long-term challenge per week could be nice. Let me propose a format:

Monday-Thursday: Week-long Challenge
Friday: Voteoff
Saturday: Speed Challenge
Sunday: Voteoffs, announcements, etc

We are competing for a prize and it's supposed to be fun... but as of now, that's limited to like 30 minutes/week. I think my format corrects that.

For people who work during the week, it's not a big deal, because the challenge lasts all week and it's not imperative that they're there for it. Saturdays, on the other hand, seem to have worked for everyone so far and then Sunday is a break. It speeds up the game... but not too much, and it'd work for everyone (although I could be wrong). Anyone with me here?

 

I misread option 2 at first glance. I actually don't mind the sound of that either. Basically I should have let my ******ed brain soak in these options a little longer before voting.

 

That sounds like a great plan

 

Can't change your vote once voted! GRAAGGHRAAHHH

 

Not a problem, I'm fine with 2, 4, or 5. So long as most challenges don't happen on weekends anymore.

 

my comment was meant to be a joke.. in light of the recent voting fiasco. i dont really care what happens

 

Last person to not vote switches places with FFG on redemption island.

 

I'm going to pick 4 then. Just to tip the scales and I'm hoping after this is decided we can get the challenge started this week?

 

I'll take my chances and remain on RI....having too much fun here!

 

Thank you. this down time kills the game.
