All the challenges here are based entirely on individual performances, none of them require any sort of teamwork whatsoever.
You couldn't be more wrong here. Good communication is key. If you guys compete against each other, give each other goals, set a high score to beat, you'll have a way better chance of beating Blue. Granted you are all playing the games yourselves but without good communication, you have no idea if your score is any good or not. For example, if JeffreyRaze had told you guys last challenge he'd gotten a score of 24 million, would any of you had thought anything under a million was good? That's where the teamwork comes in.

Alright, obviously you're adamant about keeping things the way they are.
I'm just saying, no one's going to be surprised when we continue to get steamrolled because we pay a much heavier penalty for making the same mistakes as the other team. >_>

I was actually thinking from the beginning that averaging out the scores would be the most fair thing to do. I really do agree that allowing 3+ of our members to just sit around and get 0 points on every challenge and still survive is completely unfair and we should be penalized in some way for it (and by we I mean us losing a challenge because of it and voting them out...lol).

which is exactly what I've been saying the whole time
you guys have no penalty for idling out, to a certain point we are utterly screwed by even one doing it
Also by rights we ARE disadvantaged by them not showing up. Frankly we've earned our advantage and them not showing up actually NEGATES said advantage ( even by averages as you propose wed still be ahead).
I mean this week we did have a no show that counted against us while your whole team showed up. Theoretically the complacency you argued against worked to your advantage.
I mean i guess its MORE to your advantage with averages but still. Its not like we wouldnt vote them out if we lost.
Oh. Ha. So they didnt. I just assumed 3DSand Luster would step messing up since they you know...have been on thin ice with their whole not showing up. whoops.
Well, I'm having a massive allergy attack and cannot sleep. Since I'm feeling in a B8 survivor stats sort of mood (and gamemaker isn't working at the moment), I'm gonna find the percent of the top score everyone got each round other than the first.
This is the biggest waste of time I could possibly do right now. Onward!

And finally, round five. I salute those on the blue team who pushed hard to have their scores show up under the scores of the might titans that were their top 3... But having three people on one team who could break 20mil is kinda amazing to begin with. Well, I gave it a good run, I can't say I'm happy about it, but whatever.
Still, having half the field get less than a fortieth of the top score is pretty funny >_>
Yeah guys I suck, school just started up again so I've been making sure I dot fall behind In the first week like I normally do, vote for me if you want, I'll understand ;(
3DS and Warning_Crazy didn't vote, hence the votes towards them, they didn't have to though because Dragon had 6 votes, more than half the team, therefore was eliminated. Dragon, you performed in every single challenge thus far, you'd think that would count for something. However, your overall performance was lacking, you may have performed in every challenge, just not necessarily that well. Sorry Dragon, the tribe has spoken.
Next challenge will be posted shortly.

Hard to screw this one up, it's a one button game. You press the space key to jump your coaster from track to track. Of course there are a number of distractions to try to screw you up, no worries though, it's nothing like Ski Runner. Simple fun, and you're pretty much all on even ground here. There is no really strategy or way to get an upper hand here like with Pixel Purge, you just jump.
-You have until Wednesday, September 14, 9pm est -And again, I'm only taking your current score, not your High Score
Uh, in real survivor you can't have the same person sit out 2 weeks in a row, right? Are you doing that?
I don't know how it works in Survivor, but it's not a bad idea to implement here. So I could drop the two lowest scores that aren't The Mana Sword or Charton.
I just hate making up new rules as we go along though...

I have so. I've been taking out the lowest scores, just like everyone agreed on earlier. I had you vote on it. In most cases they are 0s, people who don't participate at all.

From: Ikon | #493 he's not having people out, period.

that's not the same has having the team agree on having specific people "sit out" a challenge, though.

This game makes my eye cry harder than with the ski game hahaha, probably just because of the light and dark contrast or something. At least you can play pretty well without having to make out details, follow the light !

And I'll point out once again that if you switched to using team averages it technically wouldn't be altering the game at all (since the win/loss record of the 5 challenges so far wouldn't change) other than making it more fair for us from this point forward >_>

This is exactly what I had you guys vote on. Whether to sit out the lowest scores, or opt people out prior to the challenge. Of the people who voted, they decided to just sit out the lowest scores

I'm aware of this. No one's complaining about the decision that was made, I'm just pointing out that they're different.
Averaging the scores just doesn't work for me. It's showing favoritism towards the smaller team. The Blue Team keeps winning, so they are expected to perform all 12 players every week until the end of the challenge? Whereas Red Team keeps losing, but it really doesn't hurt them that much because it's just one less person to average out. If anything Red Teams score will gradually get better and better if they keep losing. Something about that just doesn't seem right to me. The teams should just be even, and if they are not even, they should be made even.
