Unfortunately, Mr. Trump's Iron Lungs did not submit their essay on time. This means that the Bad Hair Days have won the task; American Pie will be exempt next round; and Mecca will be choosing 2 people to go into the boardroom with him.
Because the Iron Lungs will be down 5-3, they will get to select one member from the Bad Hair Days to join their team beginning with the next task.
Here's what the BHDs submitted:
Imagine that all you own and have worked hard to make could be stolen from you with a click of a mouse and there was nothing you could do about it. This is exactly what happens every time someone downloads music illegally from sites like Kazaa. Music By Weird Al Yankovic is no exception and is illegally downloaded daily and many argue that it is all right to do this.
By not purchasing an original copy of the CD they deprive not only the artists but them selves as well because for several reasons. 1. You will only get the cover art and liner notes from buying an original CD. 2. Many CDs contain hidden bonus features. 3. Even with a high quality mp3 you still get an inferior quality recording compared to a CD. 4. Music is Als way to bring joy to his fans while putting food on the table for his family.
We all know that buying CDs rather than downloading has many advantages. Sound quality, liner notes, and hidden features make the twenty plus dollars a reasonable price. That being said, some people still feel the need to steal Al and others music like they have the right. This is not their right. If this continues what should keep Al making music to entertain his loyal fans. A few bad downloads shouldnt ruin this for the rest of us. Why should he be forced to stand back and watch his creations get stolen? This blatant theft should not be overlooked any longer.
Iron Lungs, start posting your arguments in this topic. Mecca, make sure you choose who you're bringing in to the boardroom by 9 PM tomorrow night, when the boardroom begins.
Also, begin choosing your PMs for the next round. BHDs, pick an alternate in the event that the Iron Lungs choose the person you originally intended to be PM.

Well first of all, I will not defend my past actions, so if you're expecting that, forget it. My only regret is what happened to Akrovak. Beyond that, I have no regrets.
What I will say is that I did participate in this challenge, contributing two ideas that go beyond the basic statement of "Al needs money". While I could've participated more, I was not the only one. One look at our board will show you that by far.
So if I'm fired, it's because of past actions, I can't fight it, I won't fight it. But I feel there's no reason why I should be fired based on the past while others stay in the game.based on the present.

Well,
first I think PMAN should be fired EVERY TASK HE HAS BEEN MIA LITERALLY EVERY 1!
I should not be fired because I submit ideas being good or bad on every task and i give it my all. Plus sometimes I make sure that people are on task.

I am really sorry I have been MIA the past week, I have been out of town. My mom and dad went to vegas for a week, and I had to go to my grandmother's house. I was at a friends house for the last two days, and they had the internet, but you understand how rude it would be considered to go on their computer

Yeah, I know I am out of the game ... and probably shouldn't be posting here. If you want to move it to the chit chat thread, that's fine (I'm just here to make the whole quoting thing a little less mind numbing).
However, I can say that Dingo is one of the strongest players in the game, and to fire him would be a mistake. He adds a lot to the team, in both creativity and knowledge, and has been an active participant in all tasks to date.
And there shouldn't be any regrets on his part at all at how he has played the game (even in terms of what happened to me ... a circumstance I could have easily taken care of if I had been thinking) ... he has played a solid game so far.
Anyway, those are two cents from a casual observer. Will be looking forward to watching the boardroom.
(and Iron Lungs ... come on ... you didn't even submit something? Get your act together!)

Really?

This says differently. But to be fair, none of the rest of the team really did anything either...INCLUDING the Project Manager.

Well, I am going by the tasks that I was involved in personally ... and reading what he wrote as his defense for this particular task.
