If you have thoughts on how to improve or streamline the ruleset, feel free to let me know. This was
intended
to be a faster, more casual game to fit 2-3 hours, and instead it took 4.5 hours, not even counting 30 minutes recruitment.

Shortening deadlines might trim some fat, but there's only so much to trim.

Headed home. I played through dinner, class, then back to Taco Bell to sponge free wireless, and now they're closing the restaurant around me.

GG all!

I think the deadlines for round 1 were fine.

Besides that, I think the deadlines pre-challenge for subsequent rounds should be shortened to like 5 minutes or possibly eliminated altogether. That should save some time at the very least. The only other way I see the game moving faster is to eliminate more people at each tribal council.

there's only so much you can cut from a survivor game to still make it viable

but i think probably, combining challenge/dicussion and voting/discussion would've been good

Ya I agree that the discussion rounds could be merged with challenges and voting especially since the challenge rounds were 1% guessing a number and 99% dead air
Show
Do I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.

Good game Monty.
After the dolittle vote I knew you and Ent were in the best position which is why I tried to get everyone to vote you. (I feel super justified ;) )
I knew I was screwed when you idolled out menalque. I was strongly considering throwing my vote on Ent that round lol, that would have been lit.
I'm 90% sure I was dead anyway that round regardless of me disappearing after you won immunity. And then you had another idol courtesy of Ent :P

Ent, great game. FTC was hard because Monty was always the one targeted while you kept saving him and it was hard to know which to be more impressed by. You guys played very similar games. I think you played the sneakier subtle game which is why I voted you but on the surface being on the front end being targeted is more impressive. I have no regrets targeting you after Monty won immunity.

I have more words but still short on time.

i think you shouldn't do the f4 twist if your firemaking challenge is going to be a coin flip. have a vote instead imo.
