<AnthTrump> Welcome to the boardroom, Bad Hair Days.
<AnthTrump> You guys did a great job on this challenge...but in
the end, you lost. What went wrong, gtrmu?
<gtrmu> well i guess the judge liked risk more than
a trivia game
<AnthTrump> You had a great design, but don't you think a
trivia game is too expected?
<AP> Well I think my idea would've worked.
<AnthTrump> The Lungs went out of the box with a great idea.
The trivia game was nice but not original.
<AnthTrump> What was your idea, AP?
<AP> A Name That Tune type thing with parody
lyrics where you figure out the original song.
<AnthTrump> That sounds good. gtrmu, why did you guys
decide not to use that idea?
<gtrmu> well,
<gtrmu> it was beavis's decision
<gtrmu> my idea was the game of life with a weird
al twist
<AnthTrump> That's a good idea too. Why do you guys think
beavis wanted to go with a stale concept over
those?
[Fri Apr 29 21:37:16 EDT 2005] beavis
<AnthTrump> Welcome beavis!
<beavis> hello
<beavis> i can't stay long
<gtrmu> well, to paraphrase al, "it seemed like a
good idea at the time"
<AnthTrump> Since you're both here, this is going to be the
first boardroom where someone who showed up
is fired.
<AnthTrump> All right, let's recap what's happened so far for
beavis. We discussed how gtrmu and AP came
up with great ideas that weren't used, but you
went with an overused concept. Why?
<beavis> hmm
<beavis> we didn't really have much to work with
<AnthTrump> Why not?
<beavis> I dont have access to those that stuhh
here at kinkos
<AnthTrump> gtrmu, who do you think should be fired between
beavis and AP?
<beavis> stuff
<gtrmu> this is a very tough call, anth
<gtrmu> both are very valuable members of the
team
<gtrmu> and, both are my friends
> They're both my friends too, but one of them has
to go.
<gtrmu> i don't think i can answer that question
<AnthTrump> Who do you think did better on the past tasks?
<gtrmu> once again, tough call, because they both
work extremely hard
<gtrmu> but,
<gtrmu> if i had to pick someone who is more
valuable to the team,
<gtrmu> i'd have to say beavis is mroe valuable
<AP> Can I but in for a second?
<AnthTrump> Yes.
<beavis> the main reason i went with the game we
did is everybody who i was able to contact like
the idea
<AP> Ok. I'll fully admit that I'm not as good with
graphics as Beav but I feel that I have played
major parts in the challenges we did win.
<AnthTrump> Could both of you go through what you have
done for each task?
<AP> Task 1 came up with the name.
<beavis> anything with grafics i did
<AP> Task 2 noticed an error which saved us from
firing someone
<AP> Task 3 picked the eBay item which would've
won
<beavis> I made the web page
<AP> Task 4 provided the start to the essay which
everyone added on too. plus revised and edited.
<AnthTrump> Well, from what I'm reading, it's nearly
impossible to decide between you two. You both
seem like very valuable teammates.
<gtrmu> at this point, everyone is valuable, anth
<AnthTrump> But someone does have to be fired. And I'm
basing this one solely on who gtrmu said was
more valuable to the team.
<AnthTrump> So it pains me to say,

AP, you're fired.
<AnthTrump> That was the toughest one yet...and they're only going to get tougher.
The next task will be posted Monday at 7:30. You will not need to pick Project Managers. It is recommended that you get here as soon as possible...

It is solely the Lungs' decision, since last time it was basically solely the BHDs' decision (since the Lungs didn't get their vote in on time).

Interesting decision to be keeping PWJ over numbers...but I guess if that's what you want, hopefully it works out for you guys.

Of course. It's the way a true democracy SHOULD be run! It would've made the presidential elections a hella lot easier.Driew_La_27 @ May 1 2005, 07:32 PM wrote: If only you could see how they made their decision!
