View Full Version : Survivor IV preview
GameTavern will be celebrating its 3-year anniversary on Feb 14, 2004. We'll have some special surprises along the way, including a possible new Survivor game. I just want to get an idea first of how many people would be interested in participating. It would be structured a little differently from the past games in the interest of balance and fairness. And due to time constraints on my part the game will be faster paced and the challenges, while not as high in complexety, will be no less difficult. Also staff members will be allowed to participate for the first time. Those animated smilies are kinda distracting when you're typing a message, aren't they?

I was in one or two of those survivor dealios I think...I did alright in one, but I didn't pay attention to the second one and I got canned early. I may be interested, though I'll be back in college in Febuary and have less time, so whatevs.

How much time does this suck up? I'm not that available lately.
I'm game if it's not to time demanding.

one thing that i thought made the 2 survivor games i was in a lot worse was people that signed up for it and then never even posted once in the forum. I remember voting germy out cuz of that :)
Would be great if we could get a bunch of commited people and i would definatley be up for another KotN... stayin up playin emulator games all night... good times :)

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.
Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bull****.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.
Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.
"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a
bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"
That was Money from Dark Side of the Moon.

Very good! You were able to recongnize the lyrics! You just won +rep!
Hmm, putting some lyrics down and asking people to name the song from which they come, this would be a good idea to start a new thread of off. Correct answers could be rewarded with +rep I hope someone takes this idea to the next level...

I have a great idea for a quiz, but it's not fit for Survivor 4. :p I'll post it myself. :D

Sometimes the challenge is just like a riddle or something. SOmetimes it will be something you can only do on a weekend like KotN where you have to post for 12 hours every 15 minutes :).. nice way to rack up your post count too :D
Theres different challenges. Im confident in Neo and maybe Xantar again to do a good job being creative with the challenges. Did PureEvil ever help out at all?

Hmmm...Im not sure how it should be done, but if there really is too many people, something should be done to cut some.
Im not sure if it should be done by join date or post or rep... Either way I think I'll still qualify...
But I think cutting people should be a last resort or something, because Im sure its possible to do it with everyone that wants too. :)

Phew. I read that wrong and thought you were saying April 1'st.
I had signed up earlier than April, but I can't remember what happened (hacker, or website crash, or something or other) and a bunch of profiles were deleted and I had to reregister (after a small hiatus of my own).
At any rate, please count me in....
