For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Qanda surveys the twelve people standing in front of him.

“So, you all have chosen to join this game, PPT Survivor. I hope you know what you have got yourself into. Out of 24 hopefuls, only 1 person will emerge from this game as the sole PPT survivor!” he proclaims majestically.

He continues, “You have been separated into two tribes (totally randomly, may I add), each with their respective threads to post on. As this is the first day, there are many things to see to. Firstly, you need to select a tribe name to represent yourself, and secondly, elect a tribe leader.

“There is a twist, however. While you may discuss the choosing of your tribe name freely on the thread, the election of a tribe leader should be done in secret. You must not let the other tribe know who you have selected. Conduct your discussions in private, and once you have come to a decision on who to represent your tribe as tribe leader, the chosen one must PM me saying that he/she will be the tribe leader. The first tribe to complete these two tasks successfully, wins immunity.

Summary of activities:

1) Choose a tribe name (can be dicussed on thread).
2) Elect a tribe leader (must not let the other tribe know who you are electing. You can post red herrings on the thread to mislead them though).
- Chosen person must PM me personally.
- If I receive PMs from two or more different people of the same tribe saying that they will be the tribe leader, that tribe will have failed.

First tribe to complete the above two tasks wins "immunity", and will only have to vote out one person at the coming tribal council (losing tribe has to vote out two). Both tasks must be completed within 36 hours of this post.

For tribe name, I say we all suggest some and then go with the best :)


For leader, I suggest we vote on one (sending our votes to dearest Qanda), and whoever gets the most votes will be leader.

If there's a tie, then a randomizer decides or summut.


Is that ok with you, Qanda?

Tue Jan 25, 2005 7:46 am

Ok guys I think we should get cracking on this so we can win the immunity.

I suggest we elect someone to whom we will PM our votes for the leader, that person can count the results and PM them back to everyone (maybe with a top three so we know who the back-up leaders are) and also send a copy to Quanda.

As for a tribe name, I don't really think it matters, so if there is anyone who feels strongly about this they should say so.

I think the tribe name should be Zee Queen's Subjects!!! :evil: Joking... but if you really want it to be... ~_^

Hm, I like hellyer's idea. Confused as to how I like it, but... I like it. Who'd we pick to PM the votes too?

Tue Jan 25, 2005 7:51 am

:) The trouble is, hellyer, that one person would have to PM all the votes to everyone in our tribe, could be quite time consuming...


I could do it if we agree on that though. It'd just take more time, and we need to do it fast if we don't want to lose anyone!


EDIT:


And Zee Queen's Subjects sounds funkaay :D

I'm sorry but I will not be accepting votes for the tribe leader. All I'll do is wait for the leader to PM me that he has been chosen as the leader. However you all do that is up to yourselves.

BTW, it is encouraged that you choose an active leader... an inactive one may hurt the whole tribe.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this... the tribe's name must be only one word.

How about we use Werewolf names ?? Everybody's favourite Role Playing Mass-Murder and Massacre Game :P

Ivory Fang Werewolf Clan Unite! :P

*sigh* Only one word ?? How about Ivoryfangwerewolves ?? Or Mafia ?? Or Masons, Triplets, Pixies, Infectious Carr...errr...ignore that last one :evil:

As for team leader...PICK ME!! :P *leaves red herrings everywhere*

So...now that the team is mine let's all gather our gear and build us a tent *pulls out Insant Tent*

Anybody got water ??

I thought of a name."Hakunamatata"(no worries) As for the leader i have PM troubles so i cant PM any 1 but i do have MSN so if some 1 else has msn on this tribe PM me your address and ill add you.

It's good to see so many people reporting in. We need to pick someone to PM the votes to and then the winner can be contacted so they can PM Quanda.

I don't think it is neccesary to PM everyone the results of the voting, but if there is anyone the specifically wants to know they can be contacted. I am voulanteering to have the votes sent to me, I don't mind the trouble, but if anyone else wants to thats cool aswell.

As for names, Mafia sounds good to me.

Tue Jan 25, 2005 9:45 am

This is where we stand:

Names that have been sugested:

Ivoryfangwerewolves
Mafia(1)
Masons
Triplets
Pixies
Hakunamatata (1)

The number in brackets is how many people have voted on it.Post your votes here or PM me your vote.You can only vote once.Fell free to nominate any new names and ill add them to this post.If you have any objections feel free to PM me (i wont reply) or post on this thread

We all need to PM hellyer on who we think should be leader(if any 1 objects feel free to exprees your oppinon) The reason why ive picked hellyer is that this person is the only one thats expresed interest and we need to get this done fast. I say only vote once and you cant vote for yourself. If you have any objections feel free to PM me (i wont reply) or post of this thread

Oooh its started already!! Im not really fussed on the name of the tribe but it would be nice to have something that represents the unity of our group.

EDITED: Silly me didnt read the thread properly! Hellyer is happy to receive votes so I guess we all vote via him.

How are you going to vote Luckystar?

When you say vote do u mean vote in tribal council or for a leader. Im going to add Qanda in MSN and hopefully shee will accept it and for the leadership thing i havnt worked it out yet but its not the end of the world if i dont vote for a leader

Tue Jan 25, 2005 1:28 pm

Oh right, thats ok then! :)

Tue Jan 25, 2005 1:56 pm

Luckystar will be sending in his votes and other game-related stuff to me through email, as he is unable to send PMs.

Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:56 pm
