I always vote for the person I like more and who I was aligned with! If that doesn't fit any of the finalists, I'll pick who annoyed me least.

SHOOT ME.

*shoots you*

So fucking annoying :rolleyes:

Again, your prerogative as a juror, but still.

Um, if I play well enough to get to the jury then I can vote any way I want. Isn't that the point?

I play games very personally and people just have to DEAL WITH IT.

I almost always vote for the person I like the most and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Game play for me though factors into who I like more so it works out usually.

I just don't understand personal voting on the jury. From the moment I started watching Survivor, I didn't. And I assumed, as I still think was an appropriate assumption, that all Survivor fans would feel the same. Why? Because personal voting to me makes NO logical sense within the definition of the game. The comparison I use is to Poker, where bluffing though not technically part of the rules is so widely used that if you actually get upset at someone for bluffing in poker you're sort of getting mad at someone for castling in chess or throwing a forward pass in football because it's just part of the game at this point. Why get mad? It's stupid. It's just a game and lying is part of it and it's not personal.

But some people get stuck on the emotions of the game which I don't get. At all. I get emotional about the game too, but I put that all aside when it comes to my jury vote. I'll rant and rave about someone who backstabbed me sometimes, but I don't carry that anger to FTC. And umm... I think people use "social game" and "my right as a juror" as an excuse to be bitter sometimes. And worse, the "Hantz Effect" as I like to call it has given them some justification for this, using Hantz as an example when to me clearly Hantz is a very extreme example that doesn't really apply in most ORG FTCs. So sadly the more aggressive player has been consistently losing in FTCs lately. Which I think sucks. Again, it IS their right as a juror and in the end there's nothing I can do about it. But logically, I don't understand the motivation.

I'm shocked that we as hardcore Survivor/Big Brother fans would act this way about the online version of our favorite show. But for some reason I've found that the people who play these games really aren't the way I expected them to be. I expected people to be like me especially when it comes to jury voting. Granted, if every ORGer were like me games would be pretty boring. But...eh.

A question I've always had actually, is where does social game fall in outwit, outplay, outlast? All three of which I apply to strategic game though I know some people apply outplay to challenges. I respect social game and include it in my votes, but I've always wondered this.

ITS JUST A GAME

It's something we must have all said a thousand times while we were out here.

I'm sure for you, it was an excuse to help wash away the guilt as you played the game the way that you played it.

You know that phrase "its just a game" is a big fat lie

It's not just a game. For all of us out here, It's life, and the line between game and life is not cut and dry

Life blurs into the game constantly. This game exposes who we are as people to the core - its like truth serum. I think the way you play this game is representative of the kind of person you are

The hardest lesson I learned out here was about friendship and betrayal.

The true measure of a man is the kind of friend he is

What kind of a friend are you, Madhackrviper??

What kind of a friend are you to me, who asked you to do a favor, bro to bro, friend to friend. And I did the only thing I could do, and that was to answer the call of a friend in need

As far as this game is concerned, I lost and you both beat me. No sour grapes, no bitterness.


As good as your game was, you sold out your values, your character, and your friends. For a stack of alffpoints. I hope it was worth it. Because that money will never be enough to buy it all back.

If I have a BFF in the finals, I normally vote for them - and usually, they have a good strategy. If it's two people I was indifferent to, I normally allow their FTC performance to determine my vote.

Ever since FUCKING YUKU MESSED UP MY PROFILE, I'm less motivated to give out Alffpoints. :rolleyes:

So you can call this an AlffRecession. :oldman

:eyes

This is a forum dedicated to online reality games. Since nobody should be discussing games that are currently in action, the only type that's left to converse about are the games that are already finished. If you want to talk about other topics, there are forums for that.

Trust me, Martrae, I'm as put-off by this place as you are, given recent developments, but alas, we really don't have much of a right to fight it.



Anyway, anybody who uses the "you can only play to get to the finals, you can't play to get jury votes" argument is someone who has lost in the finals and is overwhelmed by the number of factors one must try to take into consideration while getting there. There are tons of things you can do to try to net every individual jury vote.

For me, I just vote for whoever made the cleverest moves throughout the game. That's not necessarily the smarter person, although that helps in winning my respect.

Yes, but this is the Ranking thread. There are a thousand other threads here where shit can and does get rehashed. I was protesting it being done in this specific area not the site in general.

In most normal places the word ARCHIVE denotes a repository of information. Not an ongoing discussion.

I TOOK A SHIT IN MY CAT'S LITTERBOX AND THREW EVERYTHING INTO A BLENDER. AFTER BLENDING IT WITH SOME ICE CREAM I GULPED IT DOWN AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. I EVEN DONATED SOME TO A GROUP OF NUNS WHO WERE OUTSIDE COLLECTING DONATIONS. IT MADE THEM VOMIT AND I DONT KNOW WHY
