I voted for the slogan not the sentense, the one that if it were the actual apprentice would win and not make derogatory comments to other people. The one which was pushed towards me. The one that actually looks like it was thought about.

FY, AD gets my vote

, I heard rumors about your wanting to quit. Is that true?
It was true yes. Intially I had too many games and this one was my lowest priority. I am currently in 0 games and I would be willing to participate more heavily. I thank my team For pulling through and winning this challenge. I gave them 0 direction other then sending them the Quiktopic. They really came together and I am sincerely sorry that I let them down and hope for a Second chance in which I can prove I'm worth keeping in this game. If someone from my team were to be fired it would be me.

Again, I promise to make up for my lack of effort thus far and show that I deserve to be in this game.

Dont worry, apart from choosing the product (admittedly JDodge chose the one I wanted) I also designed the shittiness above when I realised that none of my team were going to contribute. (Apart from PEG who commented at the start of the week) I am actually suprised we won. Even over nothing.

Porochaz · Post Post #447 (isolation #24) » Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:06 am

The quicktopic was there and I posted the name as soon as I got it. I posted the correct name a few hours later.

Porochaz · Post Post #453 (isolation #25) » Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:43 am

I was using the one that we used for the cards task. As the team didnt change it didnt seem necassery to change and I didnt get a link to the new one. Also mistake from earlier, dahill not peg posted in the other one.

Porochaz · Post Post #477 (isolation #27) » Sat May 09, 2009 11:41 pm

As I had other stuff going on onsite + exams I will freely admit that I did not do much this task and by the time I got any time most of it was done. I did try to help with a little that hadn't been done however but really couldnt do much.

Im suprised that it wasnt submitted as we had done a lot, looking back at the last week, + and dahill did pretty much all of it. PEG only popped in once and really did next to nothing, Panzer did absolutely nothing. I think as Team manager Pickem should be blamed for lack of submission, Panzer I think should be the one thats fired.

Porochaz · Post Post #516 (isolation #30) » Sat May 23, 2009 12:02 am

Ill try and play you this evening at some point. My laptops fucked though... as in I have to hold the screen to get it to work so expect a slow game...

Porochaz · Post Post #529 (isolation #31) » Mon May 25, 2009 1:59 pm

My laptop is totally fucked, so I apologised for this spelling but I am looking at a purely white sceen with occasional multicoloured verticl lines rather than text. I can only see it when I contort the screen in a random way, I hope I can get a new laptop next week at some point, due to my dyslexia support giving me a new one.

Im getting a new laptop at some point next week...

Why did I lose to crywolf? Mainly because I havent played chinese checkers for at least 8 years... however as it was the only game I knew how to play beyond chess, it was an ok choice for me... I dont know if I could have won any of those games although I think I may have a better chance at chess... but iam wouldnt have known that. With my exams and without a proper monitor it was so hard I have to hold the screen any time I want to move the mouse. That is what contributed to my loss.

As to who you should fire... iam... the reason I dont think + should be fired is due to him winning the task and being a useful member in no matter what task hes in. Ill be honest I dont like this task as it depends on skill is decided on only the projec manager. The fact I lost chinese checkers is because I havent played it in ages, the fact JDodge ost chess is the fact he hasnt actually completed a game online, which is a point against him due to him not showing "stickability" not keeping interest long enough. Is this someone you want in your employ? However the loss at chess could have possib ly been avoided if iam had done proper research on him. Pacman failed to do anything during his tenure, iam has now had a chance to make a mark and honestly, what has he done? He has now failed a task as PM and honestly off the top of my head I cant think of anything useful he has done... There was also no contact or advice which would have been nice considering he didnt know how good we were at the game...

Porochaz · Post Post #542 (isolation #32) » Fri May 29, 2009 1:34 am

Heh, I have my new laptop but my ex flatmate broke in and stole the internet and tv and ironically my old laptop. Ill be home (as in non uni home) on sunday with all brand spanking new internet so if the task wont start before then then I will accept Project Manager.

Porochaz · Post Post #545 (isolation #33) » Fri May 29, 2009 10:07 am

Well, if your going to take that tone maybe you should be PM, because Im not going to be penalised for something I cant help and Im not going to put up with you when your in one of those moods.

Basis of one task, Ive been with you in. Hard to get on when you dont have a computer/internet and your moving out. So hey, judge me on that if you like... I just find it amusing that your complaining about my lack of activity in this game when you consistently fail with activity elsewhere on the site.

Porochaz · Post Post #551 (isolation #36) » Fri May 29, 2009 11:07 am

Im taking which is true from elsewhere on the site because you are complaining about me being inactive when in the year and a half Ive been here I havent been replaced once in any game where you are known for being totally inactive in other games, its pot calling the kettle black. In this game sure you've been active, Im not trying to put you down here. I want to win this next task and I won't resort to trying to take you down before the task has actually started. I need to know your performance for the tasks that we have been in together. I have a thread to pull back from for everything else and Im sure Jathan can make reasoned desicions... I have my opinions of you in this game but I think its a better idea to focus on this next task rather than trying to take your other team members down. Hopefully it won't come to that.

Cayke I wasnt on your team.

Porochaz · Post Post #560 (isolation #39) » Mon Jun 08, 2009 11:22 am

Oh never mind. Cayke obviously has absolutely no idea what she is talking about. Based on previous experience I found Max to be decent. The others I dont know however I did find pickem to be fairly quiet and useless during at least one of the other tasks. As for this task, I did it

all

myself. Wait thats not entirely true. JDodge didnt like the podium in the video so I took it out. The event planning was done entirely by me, the photos were done entirely by me.

JDodge made a reply early on, when I suggested the event stating a lot of what he didnt like but not really offering anything else. + made a reply about 40 minutes before I sent in what I did. Suggesting that we use "cute animals" instead. I was out in RL that night so when I came back and found nothing there to use I went with what was mostly my original idea and built the event off of that.

When I say JDodge and + did nothing during this task I really do mean nothing. Its also not like I didnt try, the quicktopic was made early on and I suggested my idea in the first post. I also sent out a reminder that I needed help early Friday morning when the quicktopic only had 2 posts by me and 1 by JDodge.

I dont know what the other 4 did, so I cant choose anyone out of them however my two "team"mates. 1 complained how I didnt do anything during the previous task, insisted that I be Project Manager, then did a miniscule amount. The other didnt turn up, up until after the deadline, posted some pictures about cute animals and suggest that the litost theme was crap and we should go with this instead. The members of my team were a joke and I would be happy with either of them going. If I had to choose between the two based on his previous performance I would save +. JDodge was definetly around, he complained so much at the beginning of the task about me not being around and then failed to give me any support during the task. I think JDodge should go.

Hmmm the week I was away I had no internet and my flatmate stole my computer, I dont think you can call that "cushy", every single other week, including my uni exam week I have taken this game seriously and have tried my hardest to do well. Which I think is MORE than most others here.

A few things firsthand. I woke up Wednesday morning to news that my closest friend had been admitted to the hospital with a collapsed lung, which through some complications I don't quite understand has lead to his other lung collapsing and him ending up in the ICU. I really think my disappearance is excusable.

Excusable yes. I understand that that would cause you to be away however you posted frequently on Wednesday and Thursday. It would have been nice at least of a notification that you wouldnt be able to help.

Secondly, I feel that Porochaz did do all the work - However, I feel that he shut both myself and + out of the creative process, which is just simply bad leadership skills on his part. I feel he has continually shown a lack of commitment and an overall lack of teamwork.

Prozac-quicktopic wrote: Anyway ita an idea to start us off. I mean we would need more than that, but to begin the event like that might be interesting? Thoughts and any other ideas?

I initially gave my idea then asked for other opinions. You didnt like some of ideas. However you failed to make ideas of your own. You also say that I shut you out, with no backing that up. I gave an idea, I didnt say thats the idea we were going with, I left the door open

the entirety of the task

for you to come up with something different and give your own ideas. You failed to. And lets face it anyway, even if I did your not submissive enough to go without a fight unless you were wanting us to fail the task and I was leading the team down a black hole.

Furthermore, his saying that I should be fired is ludicrous and solely based on a need for revenge after I called him out during the project manager selection and he had to resort to personal attacks on my character.

Who do you think I should have said. People who I havent been in a team with? Or Max, who did well in the tasks I was with him in, or PEG, who stated he was V/LA? or Eteo, by the way I also said he should go, who despite doing nothing this task has done heaps beforehand. No I went for the one who before I knew of your situation this week, who pushed so hard for me to become PM partially due to my lack of participation yet failed to do so himself. I judged you and + the same for not doing anything in the task.

I judged you more for not actually turning up for the task, after "calling me out during the project manager selection" for the exact same thing. The excuse of your friend having a collapsed lung is a fair one, and Id be a lot more tactful if you had posted a one liner just saying "Im V/LA" in the QT or main thread amongst the times you posted in the Dr Jdodge thread.

JDodge wrote: "Eteo has done heaps beforehand".

- I found the initial version of the Virgo logo.
- I helped advertise Virgo during task 2, securing votes from contacts while + mass-mailed.
- Coordinated the lemonade sales task submission while reaching a high sales total myself and ensuring that all our team members reached the highest sales total possible.

Very good early record... shame I didnt see any of thisd during the current task.

- Pushed for SensFan to get fired, his ego was ruining the team dynamic.

Was that the whole teams consensus? I don't think this can really be used for why you should stay.

- Coordinated our efforts during the tower task when KMD just signed on to say "I'm going to bed" and then left the rest to us. Searched a couple thousand cards myself while sick.

Which you lost. Why did you lose? Eteo was the greatest help with this task for our team.

- Secured the superior product name in the advertising task.

On a game of duel, on a question I didnt know. Well done, you knew something I didn't. But lets look further into that task. I made something which was, granted, shit. However you failed to submit anything. So well done, you really used that to your full advantage.

- Nearly won the chess match against dahill before I made an unfortunate error.

But wait... you lost! So really this is null as well.

And yeah, I have been around. I just haven't been able to concentrate on anything. Damn me for trying to enjoy myself a bit despite the circumstances while avoiding things that are stressing, which I could tell dealing with you would be.

Ok, however I'm not a jerk. Let me just time this statement, your online, you come into thread and you type, "Apologies, I will be V/LA this week due to a personal problem". That took me 15 seconds. If you had typed that in thread I wouldnt of had a problem, I wouldnt be thinking "What a hypocrite, he's made such a song and dance that I havent done enough, then he does absolutely nothing this task."

Im going to stop, if what your saying is the truth then it's shit that Im giving you a hard time based on missing a part of the game. Especially since it's the situation I was put in last week and although I did state in thread I was going to be away, it now means you can't really legitimately complain that I wasn't there due to circumstances outwith my control.

Wow so i looked back and we were never on a team together. Weird. Maybe I was just listening to the horror stories that JD kept telling me about you.

Well Im glad you intergected here cayke because my initial point still stands that you failed that task in the first paragraph and the "horror" stories of the two tasks we've been in... right... the one where I wasn't around due to circumstances outwith my control and then this task when JDodge wasnt around due to circumstances apparently outwith his control.

I will try to get on at least at some point this next week but so you know I will have be extreme limited access from Friday evening till Saturday of the next week. However my primary goal of the week Im away will be facebook but the one after that will be this game. So I will try and help as much as I can but to be honest if its a choice between Rome and Apprentice, I think I know which one you would all choose... After the latter date I mentioned I will be totally free and have no reason to be LA.
