Ahh, it's that wonderful season of summer here in the newsgroups. Where the
newbies rush in, the flames are hotter than ever, and your computer is dying
from overheating. And now, it's time for Newsgroup Survivor 2! <blows into
the conch shell> *huff puff* I've GOT to get a drum or something...

Anywho, it's a brand new season, and definately a brand new game for all.
The base is still the same, take 16 newsgroup posters from across the
uniserver, lurkers and active ones, young and old, stupid and all-knowing,
and force them to subject themselves in 16 weeks of intense, zany
competition. One by one, a tribe will cast off one of its own until there is
only one left remaining, The Ultimate Survivor. Come on people, ooh and ahh
with me...

You already know this if you've been in the newsgroup this month, and you
know all 16 players are looking to win the Million Dollar Prize, a brand new
1-year P-50 world w/ hosting and FTP!!! If that isn't worth a million
dollars IRL, it gets pretty close. Also, I'd like to announce to you all
that each week, there will be a web challenge in which the best scorer of
the game (survivor or not) will receive a tee-shirt also complimentary of
Flagg and the folks at AWC. AND!!!! I KNOW I didn't mention this to our
fellow contestants yet, but for the Final Four castaways left in the game,
the runner-up and the two that end up jury members will get a 6-month cit
extension. Now, back a few months ago, this would've been worth $10, it's
now worth $41.70. Oh yes, I'm sure even Bill Gates would play this game for
that deal! :)

Anyways, LET THE GAME BEGIN!! Most of you oldies know the drill, but for you
NG Survivor newbies, each week, I'll berade you with a bunch of newsgorup
Survivor posts, they will ALL have one of these two headers [NG Survivor 2]
or [NGS2] depending on how lazy I am. If you are uninterested or offended in
reading these threads for the next 16 weeks, you just simply filter them.
Just to help my innocence a little, I don't post on of these threads every
day, only 2-3 times a week at most, which is still a lot, but even Eep never
complained (I think he even kind of enjoyed it *single scream of "Take that
back!" from alt.games.thesims is heard in the distance*). Some contestants
who forget or don't follow my directions might post an occasional diary or
reply thread that you probably won't want to read (or get it since you had
all my NG Survivor posts filtered), please feel free to flame them or just
ignore them, they're VERY occasional.

Okay, well let's get down to business. :) . First, let me introduce you to
the 16 posters and lurkers that VOLUNTARILY (I had to force half of the
first cast), decided to play my sadistic NG Survivor and win a P-50 world.

Ambient Spirit - Bodacious babe 1
Lioness e - Bodacious babe 2 (sorry folks, there's no other females than
these two)
Maki - I thought it was Maka...
Maka - Oh, there's two of them??
Builderz - He doesn't really build.
Mongo - he has the head the size of a mango
JerMe - cute name spelling, awful hosting. jk.
Gandalf - yup, the wizard turned AWTeener
Joeman - he's so plain, I can't explain.
Gamecube - Figures the kid would name himself after a bad Nintendo console
pixelot - If you could name the NGS website images, you would name it after
him.
Mod - the avatar formerly known as Dark Mod
BinaryBud - He hates ASCII
D a n - He's A!!CT's M A N
Eric - Another AWTeener??
Shorah - He's Shorah to win. AHA!

And our resident Syko is a backup in case any of these 16 chicken out on
Wednesday.

Oh, did someone segue into Wednesday?? He sure did.

Confused newsgroup reader: Why Nornny, what's on Wednesday?

Well, I'm glad you asked, because on Wednesday July 3rd at 5pm VRT, you guys
are all invited to come to the world NGS2002, the world where all the live
drama will unfold. NGS2002, donated by Flagg and AWC to me for use, is the
playing world of this game. At the end of each week, a live immunity
challenge will happen in NGS2002 in which all (or at least a lot of them)
will desperately compete for you in an attempt to win immunity. The losers,
however, will have to waste MORE of their time by coming back the next night
(VRT time of course) to Tribal Plateau, where Tribal Council occurs (go
figure). The plateau is great, btw, you just HAVE to see it. Tribal Council
will be private, but you can watch from NGSTV if you like. But after the
tribe has spoken, the castaway of the game won't be kicked off a large
mountain like the first cast, he/she will actually have to face YOU GUYS, in
a public town-hall late-night chat show with your two favorite NG Survivor 1
contestants, SW Chris and Syntax. The rest of the remaining players will be
ejected out of the world, and you can talk candidly about the alliances, the
chaos, and the backstabbing with the person voted off. THEN, we'll kick the
loser off the rock. :D I know, I aim to please.

But on WEDNESDAY JULY 3RD AT 5PM VRT, all 16 survivors will meet faceclump
to faceclump (minus Lioness and D a n who unfortunately can't attend) and
chitchat with you all, take some publicity photos, and participate in their
first event. It's NOT a challenge or a council, but it has a VERY important
affect on the game. Just think Survivor Thailand... :)

Anyway, viewers, the website is only an hour or two from being PARTIALLY
COMPLETED! YAY!!! For now, if you head to
http://www.myactiveworlds.com/~ngsurvivor you'll find that the Survivors
section of the site is almost complete, most of the survivor profiles are
up, but there's still 4 or 5 I still have to upload. In a few hours, you'll
also find a new feature, Nornny's Notes, where I spout off on each week's
happenings. :) And also, each week on the front page, I'll have a contestant
poll of as much of the survivors as I can and their various actions. :) This
week, it's going to be Lioness. :)

You can rate ALL of the castaways on starting Wednesday in NGS2002. A bot
will be there, and all you have to do is say "rate <survivor>" to cast a
vote for that survivor. You're voting on WHICH SURVIVOR DO YOU LIKE THE
MOST. :) Each week, I'll take all the votes, divide them by the total number
of votes, and show the percentage popularity in each survivor's profile.
They'll be on the ratings bot until 1 week after they're voted off, so they
can still be popular afterwards. If there is a tie at Tribal Council, and on
certain tribal councils, the survivor with the lowest popularity percentage
will receive the Public Vote.

For now, --NG SURVIVOR CONTESTANTS! READ THIS!!!-- Welcome officially to the
game. :)) If you guys read the last season, you'll know that all the
survivors have a special weapon. No, not a flame thrower, a diary! Diaries
are suggested, but they're not required, just a fun and sneaky thing to do.
:) Diaries work like this, after ANY of my NG Survivor 2 postings, you can
spout off on the event that just took place, the future, made-up alliances
and events, whatever. Just be dramatic and blame names! I REQUIRE that all
of you insult at least another tribe member or tribe or else I'll insult YOU
in my Notes, my postings, or anywhere else I can play God. :) "What Nornny
Says" in your profile is only the begining, folks, so I suggest you insult
away. It doesn't have to be a big insult, just "Sarah's feet stink" is
sufficient. People know it's a diary because you'll ALWAYS ALWAYS reply
underneath this thread and you'll have it say "Dear Diary" in the text
(DON'T change the subject line, it sometimes shows up as a new thread). I'll
post all diaries (as much as I can handle) in the diary section of the
website. Remember, you're welcome to lie about anything that happened, make
up events to tarnish a fellow contestant, or anything, because the public
reads it and so do your curious castaways, so you can ruin any enemies with
the keyboard in a matter of minutes. I suggest you write about your first
impressions of your fellow fifteen, who you hope to be paired up with, what
your strategy is, whatever. :) See you all on Wednesday.

Ok, Nornny... Now I have *two* reasons to smack you.

1) Your ignorant comment on a superior gaming system ;P
2) That god-awful Shorah joke.

Prepare for a smackdown.

Does this outfit make me look fat? And I'm smoking a blunt 24/7 in this

This, dear friends, should be the lyrics to our theme tune, from G&S - The
Pirates of Penzance :

I am the very model of a Newsgroup personality.
I intersperse obscenity with tedious banality.
Addresses I have plenty of, both genuine and ghosted too,
On all the countless newsgroups that my drivel is cross-posted to.
Your bandwidth I will fritter with my whining and my snivelling,
And you're the one who pays the bill, downloading all my drivelling.
My enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming you
For cracking my head open after I've been rudely flaming you.

I hate to lose an argument (by now I should be used to it).
I wouldn't know a valid point if I was introduced to it.
My learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia,
Designed to fan my ego, which is larger than Bolivia.
The comments that I vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery,
Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery.
I say I'm frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity,
The gibberings of one who's at the limits of his sanity.

If only I could get a life, as many people tell me to;
If only Mom could find a circus freak-show she could sell me to;
If I go off to Zanzibar to paint the local scenery;
If I lose all my fingers in a mishap with machinery;
If I survive to twenty, which is somewhat problematical;
If what I post was more mature, or slightly more grammatical;
If I could learn to spell a bit, and maybe even punctuate;
Would I still be the loathsome and objectionable punk you hate?

But while I have this tiresome urge to prance around and show my face,
It simply isn't safe for normal people here in cyberspace.
To stick me in Old Sparky and turn on the electricity
Would be a fitting punishment for my egocentricity.
I always have the last word; so, with uttermost finality,
That's all from me, the model of a Newsgroup personality.

Jul 2, 2002, 11:58pm

That, my friend, deserves a hearty LMFAO!

And if you actually wrote that yourself, then I'm glad you're on staff. ;)

timing, but it will do, you have 16 weeks with me, no one's getting voted
