640 x 800 at largest--if they're that big (or around that size), save it as a .jpg or .jpeg.

Before I reveal the results, once again, I must say both of you did great jobs--even the judge thought so. Let's see what the teams came up with.

But only one team can win...which team was it?


































Congratulations to:
Mr. Trump's Iron Lungs!!

So, gtrmu, you need to pick two team members to go with you to the boardroom. If you're all able to make it, we can hold the boardroom on Friday instead of waiting until Monday. (We can't do it tomorrow because that's Survivor night.) Bad Hair Days, you may begin posting your arguments in this thread, and make suggestions as to who you think should be fired.

However, because he was the winning Project Manager on the last task, American Pie cannot be chosen to go to the boardroom, although he is invited to post his opinion on who should be fired.

PManplus65, as the winning Project Manager for this task, you cannot be fired if your team loses next week. Congratulations!

Anth, please delay the boardroom till Monday. I won't be here on Friday night. *(Beatlefest, remember?)*

Anyway, I shouldn't be fired because I oversaw the task and put in a lot of input. It was my idea to have Al holding the coke bottle, and the slogan was my idea as well. And before I reveal who I want to bring to the boardroom with me, I just want to give a lot of credit to Beavis for making the ad, I think he did a fantsatic job. I know that on future tasks I can still be useful to my team, and think I should stay around.

The 2 players I am bringing to the boardroom with me are WeirdAbbott and Kevbo1987. Abbott because he's been mostly MIA, and Kevbo because he had the least amount of input.

Ok, the boardroom is Monday. I wasn't sure if you were leaving Friday or Saturday.

Alright, now the only two people who need to make the arguments are Abbott and Kevbo--the other team members are free to share their opinions on who should be fired however.

Both teams, start discussing who the PM for the next task will be.

I KNEW IT, see, i told you i would be next, and since i bring less to the table, no photoshop ect... i think i should be gone, but i did give some very creative ideas. So gtrmu, pick whoever you want, but i have to admit, this is the farthest i have gotten in a reality game. :D

Well Abbott, I already made my choices on who to bring to the boardroom, it's up to Anth whom he wants to fire.

Okay, I have to admit that my participation in this game has been sickening. I have been disappointed in myself, but I have been very busy. In this particular task, I was there when we started and offered my opinion on the ad. After that, I just wasn't able to come on. I don't think that I should be fired because I have been there more than Abbott. I have offered more input in previous tasks than him (for the most part).
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

This will probably set me up, but......
Mr. Trump, here are some observations that you need to know about. The major point is that in my opinion, you need to fire GTRMU. Here is why:1. All three have been PM, Yet only GTRMu has shown lapse in judgement. He could have taken more time to fine tune our design and turn in a better one. Yet he decided to turn it in early, therefore costing us this event. 2.) If we are basing your decision on participation, then you would notice that Abbott and Kevbo have been far more participating than G. I know he cites his band activities, but that does not mean he can't check in occassionally. He was here for a few moments in the first challenge, maybe a little for the second one although I can't remember. 3.) Abbott argued in the first challenge that he was a little overwhelmed. Kevbo made up for his first challenge slacking by being all over his challenge. G has done little more than provide excuses except for his challenge. His promise was that he would be more useful later down the road except that I do not foresee any trivia challenges later in this competition. This is for a temporary mod position. Mods don't do as much with trivia as they do other things, like kicking people out of chat and maintaining the forum..At this point, I would rather lose my position to Abbott or Kevbo based on their performance than to GTRMU for his lack of performance. I know it's just a game, which is why I mean this only based on the game, but I believe that you should show that it isn't the ones who show up that win, but the ones who perform. You are judged in th business world by your performance, not by your intentions. Thank you for your time, Mr. Trump.
