ooh, forgot to tell you. :)) Alliances are GREATLY welcome here and such,
but put it down in writing. By the end of the game or during a good point in
the game, email me all your "secret" conversations with your fellow tribe
members and the community and I'll compile them into the website for some
extra dish. :))

oh, quick site update, a poll is set up for you all to get your first
impressions out. How you vote in these polls affect how gameplay will
continue. Example, say Contestant A doesn't post at all this week. Well, I
won't be able to make a weekly summary of him based on pure fact, so I'll
fake it all for him. ;) But, it can work against him also. If his standing
in the polls are quite low or exceedingly high, I'll make him/her do
something stupid like backstab his tribe somehow in the summary. If he's
okay, then he can only do good things. So, vote carefully. On tribal council
days, the poll will be THE vote cast by the community. Person casted is the
one with the most community votes.

bravenet polls don't allow me to have more than one in one page, or at least
I don't know how. But it's not like we need more than one. It's not you

With freedom comes responsibility, silly. You're responsible for ALL of your
actions here, and you're responsible for ALL the stuff that comes back to
you, as we're expressing it just as much as you do. How one-sided are you
anyways? You give men a bad name, really. Btw, how dare you waste and take
for granted your freedom like this by starting flame wars and long threads.
You give Americans bad names too... And you ARE bound under strict rules,
here in AW. As if you haven't noticed, we're NOT in Kansas. You follow the
same beaucratic headaches as we do, as you're a customer in a corporation,
not a human being. (well, kinda a human being, but not in the big picture).
You follow the rules, or else you'll just be disregarded or thrown out as
trash, as you have. ;)

--Nornny's Entry--

The first days...

Well, before the Survivors can even settle into their new tribe camp, they
are reminded within a day's time of the harsh land they preside in. Thanks
to n a y r, an annoying newbie who has entered this range with horrible
timing, the contestants are bombarded with shameless plugs and HTML posts.
Life isn't so easy now, is it?? hmm? Lucky for me, I've just saved myself
$100s of dollars in bribing people to do the same thing. ;0

However, stupidity can be said for our Survivors also. In the midst of their
anxiety, the Typo tribe has arranged AW meetings to discuss strategy and to
build shelters. Why they couldn't just email is beyond me. Plus, this IS
newsgroup Survivor. You don't build goddarn AW shelters, it has nothing to
do with the newsgroup! Oh well, their loss, lucky for me, I've placed myself
in the Factor tribe (not FactEr, although named after him).

I can say that these contestants have redeemed themselves a little. Already,
hidden strategic alliances have started. Nice to know that this newsgroup
plans ahead. Private meetings are taking place in AW from almost everybody
in the game. Too bad Casay and Wing can't get their email to work, and that
Bit seems to like betraying her fellow Factor members. Personally, I've
already got a strategic alliance with a member or two, but keep that on the
downlow...

And what the heck happened to the OTHER half of our players?? Dead, most
likely, those newbies and eeps are ravages, I tell ya. Among the missing
(which I really don't care to find in this harsh terrain) are s p a r k,
leaf, and KAH. Even SW Chris is gone, although he seems to have made a good
impression on the group before getting here. Personally, I think he's hiding
in the bushes somewhere.

Well, the first challenge begins tommorow. It will decide the first immunity
from FRIDAY'S vote. Immunity means that ONE tribe will remain with its full
8 members until next week. The other tribe will vote off one of its tribe
members. By Saturday night, the final ballots will be cast and the voted off
will be asked to leave the newsgroup immediately (only temporarily though.
hehe). What is the first challenge? 8 questions will be listed, the answers
in which I don't even know (trust me, I don't, they came from this Q and A
site, and I've yet to see the answer page. ;) ) Anyways, each Survivor or
member of the community will be able to answer ONE question. If they're
smart, they'll work together, as anyone who ansers a question that is
already answered will not only NOT get the point, but also NOT get another
chance to answer a different question. The tribe with the most answered
questions will win. Ah, but yet another twist. The rest of the newsgroup.
Yes, they'll be able to answer too. But, rather than putting down their
name, they will put down a member of a tribe that they would like to answer
the question. If they like a member, they'll answer it correctly. If they
don't, they'll throw that tribe member's answer, leaving the member WITHOUT
another chance to answer the question. How cruel, eh?

Anyways, I need to swat some newbies. Nornny signing off...


--end--

PRODUCTION NOTE: Anyone can write a diary entry, but email it to me first at
nornny1 at home.com so I can post it on the site. :))

May 15, 2001, 10:26pm

Please, can we send an abuse report or something? Seeing that this twerp
never confronts us face to face (which IS kind of smart, but he/she wouldn't
know it, as it saves some flaming threads), we really need to warn him about
spamming the newsgroup and how to CORRECTLY post.

The challenge is simple...
As you will see...
Answer the most questions...
And in the game you will be...

Don't get enough...
And Tribal Council will ensue...
Where 8 will become 7...
And one will already lose...


The Challenge: A series of 8 questions have been listed below. Survivors:
the objective here is to answer more questions correctly than the other
tribe. Each of you is given ONE chance to answer a question correctly. Go to
http://yourdock.co.uk/nornnyweb/survivor/ngchallenge.html and answer the
question through the form. The first answer under your name will be the one
taken. The rest will be discarded. You may also answer for a fellow tribe
member, or on the opposing tribe. But, you will be taking away their chance
to answer another question. If you answered a question already answered,
your answer will not count and you have lost your one and only chance to
answer, so communication is key. The first 8 responses on each tribe will be
the only ones accepted and counted also.

The rest of the community newsgroup: YOU TOO can also answer these
questions. But rather than putting your name on the answer form, you put the
name of a contestant who you would like to answer for. You will take away
his/her chance at answering also. You're VITAL to the success or the demise
of the castaways so have fun with it. ;)

As for me, I will sit out this challenge and hope my fellow Factors can
succeed without me as I DO know the answers to some of them (although not
all). However, anyone else CAN use my name to answer a question for me, as
you can for can anyone else.

Again, the url for submitting your answer is
http://yourdock.co.uk/nornnyweb/survivor/ngchallenge.html and you have ONE
chance, so make sure you're right. ;)

The questions are:


Who was the dictator of the Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961 ?

What were the full names (first and last) of Gilligan and the Skipper in the
show?

On what date did the first regular episode of Gilligan's Island appear on
tv?

Name the first 6 castaways to be voted off in the original U.S. Survivor
series (pulau tiga).

On what special "Sunday" did the first episode of Survivor 2: The Australian
Outback air?

Name ALL the official AW newsgroups.

How many posts has n a y r made this week (starting Sunday 13th)?

According to the Survivor poll, which NG Survivor contestants have NO votes
cast for them as most likely to win (both on the Typo AND Factor tribe)


<production note> A new diary entry has been added to the site, courtesy of
Leaf, who is still alive apparently. Tell me also if the answer form isn't
working or if you have any problems. Tribal council starts on Friday night,
most likely.

May 17, 2001, 8:35am

All the Survivor questions deal with the U.S. Survivor series. :) They're
all on the web if you do a search for them on the regular yahoo search
engine. :))

As for the Gilligan one, I believe it is the U.S. date that it premiered. :)
They are also listed on websites if you do a search for it. :))

pictures, diaries, chat logs, anything you want to show to the community.
I'll put them all on the site that day. Just don't clutter this newsgroup as
it is already. :)) This is a bandwith-minimum game I'm trying to play here.

Before I begin, let me make it clear that you guys can respond to MY
threads, as anything I post retains to the game. Things like diary posts,
pictures, chat logs, and other Survivor manipulation tools should follow my
latest ng survivor thread IF you ABSOLUTELY need to post here. Otherwise,
EMAIL me the stuff and I'll put it on the website ASAP. Anyone interested in
the newsgorup survivor game will have to go through the website one time or
another, so it will get read. ;) However, I must admit, you guys are doing
quite a fine job making entries. If you haven't noticed already, they are a
GREAT source to manipulate your tribemates into good or bad people. Lie if
you have to, we all know its a game. ;)

Anyways, the results are in!

A lot of action has already begun within the first footsteps of the game.
The newsgroup has invited the castaways with unrelentless force, but each
survivor is just about ready to complete their first week. They've got down
building the shelter, making fire, making alliances, and winning immunity,
but one tribe must learn the terrible steps of Tribal Council. For one
contestant, it will be his/her first AND last week in NG Survivor Game. Oh
how horrible!

Well, the team trivia challenge was meant as a challenge for teams to learn
to communicate, and to get some strategy out of it. And, by the countless
amounts of wrong answered forms, the teams are either strategizing well, but
late, in figuring out that you can create a wrong answer for an opposing
tribesmate and sabotage his ONE answer ballot. Or, one person could've
answered all 8 questions collectively under 8 different aliases of all
his/her teamates to get consistency and nonrepeating. My prediction was
EVERYONE was too dumb to strategize in ANY way, though. Here's the recap.
Although you might have NOT participated in this challenge, someone might
have done so for you, so let's hope your tribemates trust you enough if you
should answer a question wrong. ;)

Leaf would be the first to start the challenge, and correctly answering his
question of choice for Factor. Typo dominated from there, sending in the
next batch of answers. Tony and Casay correctly answered their questions
correctly. Chuck, however, answered his question wrong, guessing the
dictator of the Dominican Republic was David Jelse (it's really Rafael
Leónidas Trujillo Molina). Agent followed, however with a correct answer.
Unfortunately, Wing answered his question correctly, but replied to the
question Agent had already answered, which means it doesn't count and he
loses his one chance. Factor took it from there. In between the Typo
advantage, Gamer had correctly answered a question, but Leaf had answered it
already, making it not count. Syntax, Nornny, BirdMike, and KAH would
rebound and get their questions correct and different from the previous
answers. Also, it seems sabotage COULD'VE been played at this point of the
game. Agent, Casay, Wing, and Chuck answered AGAIN AND INCORRECTLY to
questions. Luckily, all 4 had already posted their answers, making those
incorrect answers NOT count. Nice try, though. That's what I like to see. S
p a r k, in the midst of this, would also come back from the idleness and
get a point to the Typo tribe. Ananas would be the second and last person to
not get a question right, as Ananas replied to a previously answered
question. BirdMike and Bit would seal the final two correct answers for
Factor, ending their challenge. Typo would need the rest of their questions
correctly, but unfortunately, SW Chris, in a massive attempt to save the
team (he replied 4 times) could not provide for his teamates. He incorrectly
answered that n a y r had posted only 3 times to the newsgroup since Sunday.
BUT WAIT! Chris might not be the blame for sending Typo to Tribal Council
(yes, you're going there Typo). This could be THE ultimate sabotage by the
community or Factor. chrisw10 at email.com was the first email recieved by SW
Chris, but it is believed that chrisw10 at nckcn.com is the real email of SW
Chris (as 3 of his 4 answers were sent from that email address). We'll let
Typo work that out with Chris though. ;)


Tribal Council instructions will follow tommorow or Saturday. Factor,
congrats on your immunity. Typo, it's time for one of you to go...

<production note>Now's a good time to get some diary entries in. ;) It might
be your last week on the game. Plus, the fun begins now. </>

Hmm...my story is pretty simple. I can still remember my first day in AW. I
was part of a gaming community for the game, Creatures (hence where my name
comes from). It was an artificial 3d life game. anyways, someone from the
community, a very respective head, actually found this place and lured most
of us into Mars to make a settlement. From then on, only myself and a few
others have actually stayed and prospered in AW. :)) Everyone else went back
to Creatures. So, in reality, AW caused the downfall of interest in my
favorite game ever...

Hey guys, sorry for the long wait for tribal council. There was a router
problem in the server where Survivor site was hosted on. It's still not up
yet, so I moved the whole site to a new server. :))

Everyone, it's time to vote. Typo tribe members, you have until Sunday to
email nornny1 at home.com with your vote on who goes out of the game. Again,
you're NOT voting for who you want to stay, but who should LEAVE the game.
Put "My Vote" in the subject line to make it easier on me too, please. :))
Person with the most votes cast against him/her leaves the game

There's a twist in this tribal council, and all the other ones also.
Everyone can vote, but all the non-tribal votes are combined into one vote.
Confusing? It's really not. Everyone who is a non-Typo tribe member can go
to http://www.active-worlds.co.uk/survivor/ngcouncil.html and click on the
"Cast Your Vote" button. You will be directed to a poll. Choose the member
of the Typo tribe you'd like to see leave. The results of this poll are
hidden and EVERYONE is only allowed one vote. I'll look at the results and
the person with the highest percentage of votes against him/her will be the
name cast in the "community vote".

Here are some things to take notice:

- In the case of a tie, there is a revote against the two contestants who
have tied to be voted off. If it again falls in a tie, the person with the
most amount of previous votes against him in earlier councils will be the
loser.

- I doubt you can make alliances with the community, or as I like to refer
to them, the t.v. audience. ;)

- Alliances help!!

- Those mini polls, the challenges, and your posts to the community affect
waht is said about you below. This is called the "Council Factors". They
will help your fellow tribemates and community cast their vote.

- kellee DID NOT answer any of the challenge questions. She's also very
confused about the game

- SW Chris cost your tribe the game as he was the last to answer a question,
and got it wrong.

- Wing and Chuck also got their questions wrong or repeated in the
challenge.

- Chuck isn't well liked among tribe members and the community. Do I need to
explain why?

- Casay feels extremely vulnerable, to the point where she has to bribe.
Maybe you should put her out of her misery?

- S p a r k is quiet and confused, but is still there physically, not only
in spirit. However, lack of participation in this newsgroup could cost
Spark.

- Agent is the only member to create a diary on Typo. On one hand, he's
playing the game, unlike the rest of the tribe. On the other, he could use
his diaries to manipulate his fellow tribemates and could be very strong.

- Tony is very under the radar at this point in the game. You know how far
those under-the-radar types are...


Good luck on your vote. Results will be announced when all tribe members
have voted or by Sunday or Monday night.

May 19, 2001, 4:59pm

Oh, also, Typo members, if you would like to include a few words on the
member you would like to see go, kinda like a confessional, you're VERY
welcome to. Of course, you know I'm going to reveal them on the site, so be
careful.

http://www.active-worlds.co.uk/survivor/ngcouncil.html by clicking on the
"cast your vote" button and picking someone who you want to get a boot.
Community vote is pretty thin right now, so you can still save or destroy a
life. Results will be announced tonight however, as I think everyone will

Well, it's finally time to do this. All of you on the Typo tribe, with the
exception of S p a r k, have casted your vote. To remind everyone what has
been going on this week, everyone here has been pulled under by the stresses
and stupidities of this newsgroup. Wing and Chuck's Party have still
unsettled their differences, and it's been costing the team a lot of morale
and valuable building time (regarding the Typo shelter). SW Chris and kellee
costed the Typo team from an immunity idol, leaving us here today. Casay has
been feeling the pressure and vulnerability of this game, and Spark is
presumed dead. Well, let's tally the votes. Whoever has the most votes must
leave the newsgroup immediately. (production note: you don't HAVE to leave,

regarding the newsgroup and the game. Alliances that were broken, fights

That's all. Typo, good luck on the rest of your game. You can head back to
camp. Another challenge awaits everyone in the coming days.

<production note> Diaries would be good right about now on any alliances if
they were already formed, life without Chuck, why you voted for Chuck, and
anything else. For all who haven't visited the ngsurvivor site yet, the
