Weird Al Survivor Viii: Gameplay Only Thread

Sorry, no. I won't be there for the challenge at that time. And do you know why? Because I fail to see why I should have to give up sleep just to have a chance to stay in the game. I still want to play this game, but not at 3am!

1 should be fine for me also.

OK, I think we have enough of a majority to do this, since I rarely have times other than around 1:00. Seeya in an hour, guys.

Welp. My internet connection is growing increasingly unstable. If I can possibly post at 1:00, I will. I'm just warning you guys.
This involves uploading images to the internet. This is going to take a long time with the current dialup connection I have. I may need to post the challenge proper at 1:30.

EDIT: I'm sorry guys, Imageshack won't even load. And refreshing the number of times necessary is out of the question.

I get better internet tomorrow night around 10:00 CST or later.

What times between then and Wednesday (inclusive) are good for you guys?

A majority is not good enough. You cannot discriminate against any players. If players have told you that it's not going to work for them (and they've been telling you that for the whole game) you can't blow them off. Only 4 players have said anything, and 1 said no.

Me? I have a rock-solid stable internet, with absolutely nothing that would prevent me from posting a challenge on time, at a time good for everyone.

I am VERY appalled at how you are handling your "comeback", and I am very surprised the players aren't making their frustrations more known.

I don't have the internet speed to argue with you, LN. I'll be back in a few hours.

I'm always willing to communicate via PM, so that we don't have to corrupt the GamePlay topic more than it already has been. (this stuff really should be in the Chit-Chat topic, at LEAST)

Okay, I really have no authority over this game at all. It's not my hosting duty and I'm not a moderator. But speaking as someone who's hosted two seasons and won another, and not to mention started up the game, I have to say that this is ridiculous.

N00b, clearly you don't can't commit to the game. Your Internet connection is admittedly unstable, you've been WAY too busy in your own personal life, and you've had to delay the game MANY MANY times. I'm not saying any of it is your fault, but it has to be causing some annoying inconveniences for the others involved. Out of respect for the others, you really NEED to give up the hosting duties to Stephen.

Stephen, it doesn't look like she's willing to even discuss the prospect of giving you back control. If that is the case, then I suggest you take back control without her approval. Anth had to step in when Sarley was MIA during season 2, and it looks like you need to do the same here. I understand that you don't want to just "take over" out of respect for N00b, but she's clearly not showing the respect back to you.

Just my opinion on the matter. This has always been a fun game and I'd hate to see it disintegrate for no good reason.

*Lets out a deep sigh* Ok. You're right. I'll do it. I've been wanting to anyway, but as you said, I didn't want to because I respect my friend.

Everyone, you have my word, that there will not be any more unknown delays. There's been 2 weeks delay already. I don't want it to go longer. I need to know (please post in the chit-chat thread) how this holiday season will affect you in the game. There are still 3 challenges left, and I want to make sure that we don't have a challenge during a time that could possibly take away from the players' time better spent visiting with family and loved ones. I'm here whenever the players are willing.

I keep my PM box pretty clean, so anyone may contact me there. Chit-chat in the chit-chat thread, and any questions, comments, or concerns can be posted there or via PM.

On top of the Holiday talk, I'd like to know what times and days would be good. I had gotten 5-6pm as a good time, but I want to make sure that still holds true. Especially with Holidays possibly affecting people.

I better get busy!

Ok, an update.

If Friday, 6pm PST is alright with everyone, then I'd like to have the challenge then. It would be a timed challenge, (not sure "live" like the Anagrams or not, you may express your opinion in the Chit Chat thread)

As always, any comments, questions, or concerns are welcome, and encouraged to be brought to my attention.

6pm (Friday) PST
8pm CST
11am (Saturday) Aussie

Yes?
