I'm going to forget I read this, yet remind Sumo that not only did I come up with the slogan, AND the idea to have Al holding the Coke can, but that I'm also a full time college student, and school is very important to me, in fact it's the #1 priority in my life right now. The first challenge, since it was on a Thursday, and since I'm never here on Thursday's, I couldn't do, and since I have NO photo editing software, I couldn't do much with challenge 2, and for this one, I put in A LOT of input. A LOT more than you did. So don't give me this and be happy I didn't take you to the boardroom.
and be happy I didn't take you to the boardroom.I was elected to lead, not to read.

I am truly sorry you feel that way, but let me explain.
1. This is a game. The point of this is fun. In every reality game, there is strategy involved. I have nothing personal against you. I just would rather have Abbott and Kevbo continue.
2. I am also sorry you feel I was unjust considering that I work a 50 hour a week job besides being a full time dad also. I play this game, check out the forum and do everything whenever I can. School comes first for you. I respect that. My family and job come first for me. So consider this before you take anything we do ere seriously.
3. As for what you have said about your participation, this challenge was all about you. Yes you did alot this challenge. We have no MIA's left to sacrifice. The choice Mr. Trump has to make is who was the weakest link in the last challenge as well as who is not able to finish the game. In my opinion, you should be the next one. Not because I can't stand you or anything because I have no reason to dislike you. It is not a personal thing. Based on what I think, my opinion only, we lost the task based on the final product. Could I have done more? Maybe, but we don't always get a fair shake in everything. Does this mean you are automatically getting fired? Only Mr. Trump knows. Getting mad does not help you or the team.
If this still angers you, I apologize, but I have a right to an opinion as well as a chance to voice it. If you want Ant to replace one of the other two guys with me, so be it. It'sa game and we play to have fun as well as to win. The choice is yours until boardroom.
Ant, forgive me for posting this here. It's just that I had to respond and it is technically related to actual game play because G and I are disagreeing on the next course of action. It is your call if you would like to send this to the chit chat thread, but I think it is a service to everyone playing that we all remember that this is a game. We are all here to have fun and to keep it that way, sometimes we have to have lively debates. For the record, I did work a ton more than normal because we had a few people quit last week. That is why I was not here for more than five minutes of the challenge. This was one of the things I was concerned about when I was debating joining in the fun. So if GTRMU decides to replace one of his choices with me, I will abide by his decision and see it through. I have no regrets to anything I have done or said during this game.

The arguments for who should be fired are definitely game play. They belong in this thread.

Le Boardroom.
<AnthTrump> Bad Hair Days, welcome to the boardroom.
<AnthTrump> Beavis, what happened? How come you lost this task?
<beavis> ok
<AnthTrump> Beavis?
<beavis> well I don't have photo shop and I am just learning hot to do photo editing
<AnthTrump> gtrmu, who was the main force behind the banner?
<gtrmu> well, beavis and i both collabarted a great deal on it. me with the idea to have al holding the coke can, and for the slogan, and beavis made it happen, so both him and i were the main forces behind it
<ultimosumo_> I admit I was not here for the challenge because of my work schedule.
<ultimosumo_> I had to work double last week.
<AnthTrump> You made a very interesting argument for gtrmu being fired. Do you think he was a bad leader?
<gtrmu> yea sumo didn't do a lot with this one
<ultimosumo_> I think his judgement was a little flawed. We had time to fine tune our banner prior to turning it in, but we turned it in early. I think we could have used more time prior to turning it in.
<AnthTrump> Kevbo, between gtrmu and Abbott--who does your team need more?
<Kevbo> I would say we need grtmu more. He has participated way more than Abbott.
<AnthTrump> Beavis, which of the three would you fire--gtrmu, Abbott, or Kevbo?
<beavis> I guess would have to say abbott
<AnthTrump> How about you, sumo? Have you changed your mind about gtrmu?
<ultimosumo_> No. I think he was the leaderthis task. We failed. We have no more MIA's. He is accountable. He should go.
<AnthTrump> gtrmu, what do you think of that?
<gtrmu> well, yes, i was the leader of this task, however, everyone else admits that i came up with some VERY good ideas. even driew said he thought ours was better. sure, he might be a bit biased, but our team felt as if we did a good job
<AnthTrump> You did do a good job. I liked both ads.
<gtrmu> however sumo seems to think it's all my fault that we failed
<ultimosumo_> It' wasn't your fault we failed, but we have no mia's. We are accountable for our team no matter if we lose or win. It's not the process, it is the result.
<AnthTrump> See, I don't really see where gtrmu is at fault for this task.
<gtrmu> well, i had to bring SOMEONE to the boardroom with me, but you can't always hold the leader accountable if you fail
<gtrmu> sometimes you have to blame the workers
<gtrmu> yes, most of the time the leader is responsible
<AnthTrump> I do think he should have involved the team a bit more, but that's something he can work on.
<gtrmu> but not all the time
<ultimosumo_> In my real job, I still get the blame no matter who meese up.
<beavis> my I speek?
<AnthTrump> Yes.
<gtrmu> well what can i say sometimes people can't be real men and take the blame
<AnthTrump> Now, that I don't like.
<AnthTrump> There's no need to insult your teammates.
<gtrmu> i didn't mean it like that
<gtrmu> i meant in the sense that
<ultimosumo_> I want it noted i did no personal attacks. I just said there is accountability.
<gtrmu> say the boss messes up royally and he blames it on the workers
<gtrmu> that's what i meant
<gtrmu> i have to deal with it as well at work
<beavis> well I think the main reason ours was lacking is the text but with the program I have I am limited to very bacic text options
<ultimosumo_> A good boss, leader, manager takes accountability for the results, then doles out the fixes later.
<AnthTrump> Ok...I want one-word answers from all the BHDs who are with us tonight: who should be fired? gtrmu, Kevbo, or Abbott?
<Kevbo> Abbott
<gtrmu> abbott
<ultimosumo_> gtrmu
<beavis> abbott
<AnthTrump> I think I've got enough information to make my decision then.
Abbott, you're fired.
<AnthTrump> He just wasn't pulling his weight.

Poodle Hat Promo
With no new Al release planned for 2005 as far as we know, Volcano has decided to repromote the Poodle Hat album. They hope to design an entirely new website for it. Your team will go to a free webhosting site, and create a website to promote Poodle Hat. You are expected to have at least four different pages on the site, the content of which is up to you. Remember to create a password that you can share with your team so that everyone can participate on this task. One of the best webmasters on WOWAY will decide which website is better. They decide which of the teams will stay intact, and which one will go to the boardroom, where one member will be fired.
You have until Friday at 10 PM EST to complete this task.
