Yes, there will be a prize.

Wut?

There are two judges, with past champions getting the priority. Last time, I kind of used the judges as a back up because I didn't have a lot of confidence that we would get board participation. This time, we're changing the role slightly. During the team round, the judges will still decide which member of each team is the MVP for the round and that person gets bonus points on top of those earned by the team. During the individual knockout rounds, each judge gets one vote for the contestants that move on to the next round, and the board collectively gets one vote. I do not. Last time, the challenges were formulated by committee because that shit is hard. We'll use some of the same events (not the same prompts), but I'd like to come up with new events as well.

In case it wasn't clear, we won't be sending people home in the team rounds.

I think one of the common questions people might have is how the team portion works: At the beginning, teams are drafted and for the first rounds, they collaborate to win as a team. For the second edition, there were eliminations during the first few rounds, but it was kind of awkward and we ended up eliminating the people that just didn't participate during the team rounds. So, the purpose do the first 4 rounds is to win as a team and accumulate points for each participant that carry over to the elimination rounds.

The whole guessing part ruins the mood.

I’ve noticed that the paramours in your life are really really passive aggressive about asking for the D.

What did you find most confusing?

Just the person - Survivor II Champion and all around bad ass: Disco! Maybe you could tell us all little bit about what the experience was like.

So, let's start with any questions anyone has. Does anyone not know how this game is played?

We can't have a Survivor without you.

Well, that changes everything.

Was she hot?

Anyone interested?

It's been about a year and a lifetime of political shenanigans, sport bloopers, and entertainment that defies imagination for all the wrong reasons. I thought now might be a good time to see if you all would be interested in another edition of UEMB Survivor. For those who are newbs, infrequent visitors, or don't pay much attention to anything outside their folder, UEMB Survivor is, like its name suggests, a competition with participants competing with each other than against each other to win the title and a special gift. Teams compete against each other to run phony election campaigns, create absurd stories and art, and sell useless products, among other things, to win the votes of our esteemed judges and their UEMB peers. You can stop by the Survivor club to get an idea of the sport itself. This competition is a whole-site event; it's something that everyone can participate in even if they don't sign on to be competitors. If you could all be so kind as to take a moment to answer the two question poll, I would really appreciate it. Edit: The poll closes by Friday 08/30, now

But, you're going to lose that YETI sticker.....

I was kind of hoping you were going to say someone made a hydrogen bomb out of a cyber truck.

I’d say you can’t outrun a thirsty Fuggs, but you can.

@Doom Metal Alchemist: don't forget to wear fatigues and combat boots.

There's this Raley's in Lake Tahoe that used to have a nut grinder, and it actually produced a really good fresh peanut butter. It disappeared after the most recent remodel. Only place I ever saw that had it until Whole Foods showed up.

That’s an idea.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Painful poops are no joke, bro.

@Blackrose321 The same happens to me, but I don’t have to contend with the isolation you were dealing with so it’s not nearly as bad. Very few people will ever listen the whole way through, even when you’re making genial conversation. It’s not always self centered, though it usually boils down to that, and that makes it really hard when you’re trying to express yourself. People just seem to have a hard time processing other people’s emoting because they don’t have the ability to identify with anyone other than themselves. I’m sorry you have to deal with it.
