" nothing prevents them from casting the exact same vote."

A second vote is NOT needed or fair. It was concluded.

The players are also free to inform me that they do not wish to vote again. I still do not understand why the input they offer for the game they are playing is of such concern to you.

~sigh~ Good night DG & Purr 🙂

Out of pure curiosity, what would you say if all of the players, including Jahlia, requested a new vote? I do not mean to imply that either has or has not happened, but would you maintain your stance that the original vote should be held valid? I'm genuinely curious as to your response.

Perhaps they were hoping you had a reasonable explanation as to why you would put a player they voted out back in. Since I inquired maybe some of them know I wouldn't stop asking until a reasonable response came about. I don't know. Yet, I see you are no better than some of the usual toxic people here and the bullshit you attempted to display here speaks volumes. I happen to like the players that remain after the last vote and figured it could be a good fair game. That was my mistake. Your bad judging and unfair tactics are no different than that of a bully. I fucking hate bullies, and can't help but call it the way I see it. You suck if you put an eliminated player back in. That's it pretty much. Good night.

Jahlia WHO? That player was eliminated. Jahlia has NO say in the matter. The vote was well concluded and hours later a another player dropped out. Now one would have to ask...why suddenly would the other players want to change their vote especially when you stated on their behalf that Jahlia was a threat? lol No, really, for real..good night jackass.

Given the nature of this game, it is only logical that a player would vote against another because s/he believed the other player to represent a viable threat. It is conceivable you might vote against another who stated that s/he desired to be eliminated out of kindness, or that a player might choose to vote against another completely at random, but the most probable reason is that the person voted against represented a threat. In any event, the verbiage I there utilised is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Why would the other players suddenly want to change their votes? I don't know. I don't even know that anyone had (has) any desire to do so. However, in light of Purrrr's resignation, I have provided them the opportunity to do so and the game will proceed per their votes.

If you find this procedure intolerable, it is easily within your power to ignore the remainder of the game.

Also, if the majority wants to start a new debate tonight I will not argue with that. I have a test to study for that I don't take till tomorrow evening at like 6 pm but that doesn't mean I'm going to not study for it till tomorrow. But I will try my best to put up the best position and possible defenses to it if time allows me. 🙂

We'll start the next debate tomorrow at 9PM EST.

Awesome news! 🙂

To all the Craibaby/whiners/sore luzers, go fuck off.

Alright.... I really don't want to add to this but.... On one hand StoicGoat you are correct and being level headed about the re voting if you were going to argue that people who are not even wanting to play the game affected the vote and the game for others who do want to play. But LIB has a point too, about the process of things I think obviously it should have been voted on whether or not to even do another vote or leave it as it is before it ever started btw I'm not griping or care that much to be honest.

Another thing too Stoic to argue that nothing stops everyone from casting the same vote as if there will be the same outcome if everyone does is misleading and here is why. Just because everyone casts the same vote twice....there are two votes missing that could have been the deciding factor votes so... voting the same way twice will not guarantee the same outcome.

And with that said I would like to say I'm not here to fight just pointing out the facts thank you thank you
I'm done I bid you adu..... for now. 🙂

It is the very fact of the missing vote(s) and player(s) that makes the question of the new vote so crucial. You received the same PM from me as all the players that included two options. One was to retain the existing vote and the other was to hold a new vote.

At the present time, I am still awaiting one player's response.

nvm man I'll stop contradicting you lol ....
I really don't see how it is helping anything anyways it is just a small nuance that I don't think I made clear and I think adding the option for everyone to vote on anyways would so over-complicate things. So... sorry for that.

In favor of not over-complicating things it is either best to do exactly what you are already doing or what LIB is saying.

Trying to argue which is best is kinda subjective in a way.

What is actually truly fair would require quite a few more options to vote on lol

Crazy idea, but hear me out:

How about people play the game according to the rules laid down by the judge. Those who don't like it can leave.

That's usually how it works.

The contestants were playing by the rules...the judge conveniently & unfairly changed the rules hours AFTER a valid vote was completed.

Rules about voting quoted:

"Whomever has the most votes is out! (**If the person voted out decides to troll later games they will not be involved with a special twist later in the game)
---If there is a tie in voting someone out there will be a revote and someone will get to change their mind of they want. If nobody changes their mind and there is another tie then the OPPOSING team will get to vote on who they want out. Only voting with the members who have been tied to get voted out...
-If someone decides to not vote that will automatically be a vote for themselves!"

Interesting isn't it? There is nothing in the rules about the judge being able to change the rules.

Looks like MellyMel deleted. I guess that's one way to quit, lol.

This game just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

?

I just checked and one of her posts (not quoted) still appears on page 26 of this thread.

It comes right up for me.

did we vote someone off yet?

I am still awaiting responses.

Posted by Purrrr
Honestly, though, this game should be called "Mass Suicide" instead of "Survivor" at this point...

lol

Yes Jahlia was voted off @ 6:39pm yesterday.

DeeGee has quit.

Jahlia, I regret to inform your fellow players have found you to present too great a threat. You've been voted out.

Jahlia and Ms. Vulcan: your comments remain welcome, just know that you are now part of the audience.

Players: when would you like the next debate to begin?

Difficult to say, but hey, they're both smiling, so at least it appears consensual.
