Well, with 3.2 and everything's that has been going, a small game of
Survivor just wouldn't seem appropiate. But it's time to get back to some
normalcy and the season finale of Newsgroup Survivor. This newsgroup could
use a refresher.

<plays out conch shell>

16 contestants were involuntarily thrown into the community newsgroup game
of insanity, only two made it out alive. After 16 grueling weeks, some
contestants fell quickly, some fell gracefully, while some couldn't take the
pressures at all. 16 would become 10, but life would become even worse as
the weariness and bickering grew into disaster for all involved.

Even so, two SW freaks have made it out with most body parts intact, face to
face with 7 people who they've wreaked betrayal, hurt, and manipulation over
to get to the top. Now, the Jury 7 is all that stands between SW Chris and
Syntax from getting an AW teeshirt.

Who's going to win the million dollar prize?


<Director: cue the intro theme at
http://www.oriox.com/survivor/2/ngsurvivor.html It's a huge file, but
there's a nice preloader to keep 56k fans sorta happy. It should take no
more than 30 seconds for cable users, I think. It's good. watch it. ;) >

<Director: Cue spectacular fast forward movie of AW landscape falling into a
dark rainy night>

Well guys, I'm sad to say it, but the 16 weeks of hell are over, and only
Syntax from the Facter tribe, and SW Chris from the Typo tribe stand with
their lit torches. Joined with them however, are the last seven people voted
off, the jury, Casay, Wing, and Tony M from the Typo tribe, and Nornny,
Gamer, Leaf, and Alphabit Phalpha from Facter.

As with any Survivor final council, jury members, you are entrusted the
ability to cast one last vote, but not on who should be voted off, but who
should win the game. The prize, courtesy of Flagg and the AWCOM staff is an
ActiveWorlds tee shirt (you're still on that, right Flagg? ;P ), but more
importantly (in case we can't get a teeshirt), Syntax or SW Chris will gain
the prestigious title of Ultimate Survivor of the Community Newsgroup. A
much deserved honor indeed, as you've lost hours of online time playing
internet challenges, flaming off newbies and eating them for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner, and voting your fellow comrades off a cliff.

Anyways, three Koochie jury members attended the live taping of the finale,
which gave them the oppurtunity to ask the final two ANY question they
wanted regarding the game. They were Nornny, Wing, and Leaf. However,
although they casted their votes in AW live, they still do not know who the
winner is as ballots were secret, and they are not aware of the other 4 jury
members' votes. Anyways, here's the questioning and answering (taken exactly
from the chat log):

Leaf: Em
Leaf: Well done guys for getting here
Leaf: and now questions. . .

Leaf: SW Chris - what challenge did you find the hardest in the game?

SW Chris: *cracks knuckles, begins typing*
SW Chris: The hardest challenge? Probably the cow flipping.
SW Chris: Took me forever to get the hang of it.

Leaf: ok
Leaf: Syntax - who did you really want to kick out of the game and why >:)

Syntax: Who did I REALLY want to kick out? You all know that, kellee! She
voted me and that was it, she had to go :-)

Syntax: And I did it too ;-)

(flashback: kellee was voted off by Syntax and Facter tribesmate in a nearly
deadlocked decision when both Typo and Facter merged into a single tribe,
called Koochie. the vote left Typo very vulnerable with one less member than
remaining Facters, however, it obviously made no difference as SW Chris from
Typo beat the odds. It does, however, leave only 3 Typo seats in the jury
and 4 Facter seats. Will tribal lines still play?)

Wing.: Ahh, Chris, I don't remember you ever having to flip the cows :)
SW Chris: is that the question?
Wing.: No
SW Chris: oh. I flipped the cows before you announced yoru little scheme
to me.

(flashback confession: Wing edited his score with a paint program to get a
higher score in the cow flinging challenge)

Wing.: Syn, what are you going to do to me when I vote for Chris?

Syntax: lol Wing. Nothing. ;-)
Syntax: Im happy if either one of us wins

Wing.: And you Chris, what will you do to me when I vote for Syn?

SW Chris: I'm happy if either of us wins, too

Wing.: What? No cit renewal for me? :) Alright, that's enough

(where is he now: Wing, if you remembered, after getting voted off by the
Koochie tribe, left AW due to his cit expiration)

Nornny: First, I'd like to say you all are evil bastards...

Syntax: lmao :-P
SW Chris: >:D

Nornny: you are followers, I should've won it, you hear me?!

Wing.: Nornny and I apparently switched speeches

Nornny: Syntax, you're a snake. Chris, you're a rat. Both of you deserve to
get killed by poachers.
Nornny: BOTH OF YOU!!!

SW Chris: Speak softly and carry a big stick.
SW Chris: Teddy Roosevelt.

Nornny: Now, it's bad enough I have to vote for one of you, but I have to
ask a question?
Nornny: okay, here goes. Who do you think should've been up here besides
you two.

SW Chris: If it weren't us too, probably Gamer and Wing. Sorry Norn...
hosts can't win. =P
SW Chris: too = two
SW Chris: Wing had a plan... Gamer was nice. I don't relaly know him, but
he seemed nice. =)

Nornny: thank you. Syntax, are you awake yet? Answer the same question. :)

Syntax: I would have to say Wing and...hmm...probably Gamer
Syntax: Wing was a great schemer.
Syntax: Gamer was my tribemate all the way up until the final 2
Syntax: It was hard to vote him out :-)

(flashback: The final three people were Syntax and SW Chris and Gamer.
Syntax, having won immunity, was forced to vote out a Facter friend or SW
sibling. Well, you know who he voted for...)

And now we're back to the present in the newsgroup where the 16 of you
started and where the game of chaos began in this harsh community
environment. All 7 of the jury members have casted their votes secretly to
me, and for the first and only time, here's the results. Syntax and SW Chris
do not know if they've won yet either, so I wish them good luck as they're
reading this. Let's go, cue the tribal council music.

<music plays>

1st vote....Syntax...

(Leaf's confession: I vote for Syntax to win as I know him a more better
than SW Chris and I just generally thought he was a better player)



2nd vote....SW Chris....

(Casay's confession: My vote goes to Chris - Reason - Flipped special
Survivor coin- Kangaroo on one side, Koala on the other.............. Chris
won.. ;-) Also.. he danced with me at the Cy awards.. has to be worth
something huh?? lol)




3rd vote....Syntax....

(Wing's Confession: Cuz he's an absolute bum)

That's two for Syntax, one for SW Chris....




4th vote....Syntax....

(Nornny's confession: I place my vote for Syntax. You backstabbed me, but
you played the game much better than Chris did, although he did backstab me
too... )


Syntax 3, SW Chris 1. One more vote Syntax, and you've won the million
dollar prize....



5th vote....


.....


SW Chris....

(Alphabit's confession: I tossed a coin :) )


Okay, that's 3 Syntax, 2 SW Chris. If the next vote is NOT SW Chris, Syntax,
you've won the game.

<cue audience suspense>


....


....


....


Syntax, you are the Ultimate Survivor of the Community Newsgroup.


WOO!!!!


(Gamer's confession: Syntax, becuase I'm in a secret incestrial relationship
with his mother)

We do not need to read Tony's final vote, so I'll leave that all up to you
to decide who he might've voted for.

Congratulations. And thus ends the first ever AW newsgroup game of Survivor.
Syntax came out the final victor as SW Chris leaves with nothing along with
his 14 other contestants. Please, all contestants, post your comments on the
game in this thread and such and spill your guts on the game. From Chuck's
Party to Syntax, you're all true survivors to me. Thanks for playing the
game.



Next year, 2002, we're going to be journeying down to the general.discussion
newsgroup and begin shooting the second season of NG Survivor. 16 new
contestants will play in the newly acquired but just as flamish territory of
general.discussion, and 1 will again rise victorious. We even got a new
host, by the name of Flagg Probst (get it?). You think you know the game,
but wait until what we're going to throw at them. Signups and selections
will start in December, the game starts in January, so be on the lookout.
http://www.oriox.com/survivor/2/ngsmain.html is the new website. It's just
been started, so none of the links really work, but you'll find any new info
there.

Woooohoooo! Love the webpage!
What fun everyone!
Thanks Nornny for the great times:)
Congratulations Syntax!
I truly loved all the challenges, but mostly the fishing:) Cow flinging.....
my arms were out of shape and I had nothing to wear for THAT occassion!
Would be fun to see some interactive challenges "inworld". Maybe AWCom, Inc
could offer a temp world where some of you Bot Gurus could create some?:)
Nornny congrats again on the Cy Award for it. Well deserved!

<snip>

Actually, he left because he got bored with AW (or some other reason). The
Wing. citizenship was mine, and I made sure it was renewed every year.

> Syntax, you are the Ultimate Survivor of the Community Newsgroup.

Yahhhhhhhhooooooooo!!! Man, I don't know what to say...

I guess congrats to Chris for making it this far with me. Thanks to Nornny
for putting this whole thing together and allowing me get to get to know
about 14 new people. Wing for being the d00d he is and voting for me.
(retired AW addict, btw, but I bet he still trolls these NG's.) :-P I
guess thanks to everyone who voted for me!

Gawd this is so sweet. :-)!! I can't wait for season 2! (I wonder if I'll
get to play...) :-P

Thanks everyone for playing the game and bigger thanks to this newsgroup for
supporting it, even Eep. :) It was tons of fun, and no, it wasn't rigged.
lol. I can't wait to do it again. :)

Btw, the link to the new webpage is actually
http://www.oriox.com/survivor/2/ngs2main.html. Sorry for the wrong link.
lol. I'm glad you liked the movie too, and thanks for your patience as I
made it before posting the finale post. The link above is to the new (and
MUCH MUCH better) website that I'll be overworking myself to update
throughout the game. It's not done yet, but you'll notice the nice layout
(properly copied and pasted and edited, but mostly inspired from the UK and
US official Survivor sites, shhh...) and the names of the new tribes. tee
hee. Eventually, you'll see the 16 new faces too and a cool flash preview.
anyways, thanks again!

Nov 23, 2001, 2:13pm

Hmmm,So what exactly is NG Survivor anyway?

Nov 23, 2001, 7:50pm

Congrats Syntax!

Nornny, that video was great!

Try downloading it now. I changed the file to Rich Text Format so it should
be readable to anyone who has wordpad. That should be all Windows users,
btw. :)
