The Apprentice: MafiaScum - Someone Hired!

[Max]

Max

, was JDodge an effective leader?

I'd say he kept the majority happy, I would however say that he didn't really seem to be telling other people what to do, he just expected people to wander in and do stuff, I think it was naive, he didn't seem to really be that much in control.

[Max]

ha, that was quite amusing dahill1

[Max]

That was practically at midnight, what do people expect me to add?

[Max]

At midnight people asking me the name of the last person I kissed I'd probably struggle to remember. Anything beyond asking me whether I want to go to bed or not will probably result in either no response or the kind of response that no-one expects

EDIT: and by "than no-one expects" I also meant that "no-one likes"

[Max]

I'll bear that in mind next round.

[Max]

Most likely, but the vast majority of us are not playing to win, playing for fun

[Max]

Max, you were labelled the weakest member last time. What did you contribute to this task? Were you delegated anything to do?

Well, I wasn't delegated anything in particular to do, but I believe all of us knew the task at hand, our simple aim was to PM as many people as possible to convince them to vote for us. I think I fulfilled that condition.

I don't think I was online for the first 24 hours so wasn't able to contribute to the slogan, but I think that the result was probably hard to beat anyway, I felt I did everything that I was asked to do, and everything I could, without repeating any particular person

[Max]

I would like to nominate animorpherv1 to be project manager

[Max]

I just think that animorpherv1, because of his little activity last time, should be forced to do something

[Max]

How the hell is it possible to screenshot both of them at the same time in different tabs?

[Max]

Yeah, but surely I could do that by Stealing an incredibly high score on that game (from someone else), and mix it with mine.

[Max]

Meh, I've found out how to

[Max]

Mr Trump, may I speak?

EDIT: I know technically already have, but I would like to give my views.

[Max]

I will be gone From Monday-Friday, possibly Saturday too, I have a funeral to go to. Sorry Guys, feel free to replace me

[Max]

Excuse Me Animorpherv1, but if you look through your post history you have posted every day since 31 of March. Therefore it must mean you have another reason.

So tell us the real one

[Max]

If anything Animorpherv1 should be fired.

[Max]

I would like to make the following statement in the event I get taken into the board room:

We did not hear from our project manager throughout the task. Therefore + was not a good manager

Animorpherv1 should be fired, for obvious reasons, profit of $5 is really poor, in 7 days he should easily have been able to make a profit of $20

I should not be fired because I gave the highest score and because in the last few hours I tried to rally around to get as many additional entries as possible

[Max]

Mr. Trump I request that you force SensFan to bring back at least one other counterpart.

[Max]

I nominate pacman2812, Porochaz or myself, as the only players who have not actually been leaders yet. Anybody else on the team have any personal favourites for the job?

[Max]

Virgo's Height is now at [3] Feet

Next time to play 12pm

[Max]

Each #### may only be played ONCE except for 0000, which is the basic card and can be played any number of times. When it says that you may not play a card for the next X hours, that means the entire TEAM may not play a card for that time.

[Max]

Virgo's Tower is now at [1] foot.

(As Card played above 7439 again)

[Max]

Eagle Eye's Height Now At [5] Feet

[Max]

EagleEye height [6] feet

[Max]

Damn, I thought I'd told someone to play those two cards in Poros last post...

[Max]

Oh, yeah, it's because I never have Sig Display on...

[Max]

[EDIT: 3 MINUTES EARLY]

[Max]

Eagle Eye's tower is now at [10] feet.

[Max]

Eagle Eye's tower is now at [11] feet.

[Max]

Eagle Eye's tower is now at [13] feet.

Edit: (Bolding)

[Max]

Twiddles Thumbs

[Max]

Eagle Eye's tower is now at [18] feet.

[Max]

I've got to go now my team, play as often as possible

[Max]

Max, you were Virgo, who won three out of the past four tasks. How is Eagle Eye different? Is it less organized? Why do you think it has not been as successful as Virgo?

I think that Eagle Eye, if anything, is far more organised, though I presume the reason we failed this task is not because of anything more than the mistakes made earlier on which resulted in penalties for us, which, I believe, led to our eventual demise.

Though I have not been asked I would request that pacman is fired, because on both sides he has done nothing, and I think that Farside should be allowed to stay.

[Max]

I don't understand what the picker actually does...

[Max]

I will not have access again until Tuesday, another member of the team will be submitting the final piece.

[Max]

Max, I know you said you were going to be away. Did you delegate anyone else to submit?

I just said someone, not anyone in particular.

Nope. We had a horrific concept that Max came up with and decided to go with before anyone even had the chance to weigh in, I was away at work all weekend and didn't have the time nor the energy to come rushing in at the last minute and save our asses like I have in tasks prior. Meanwhile, Cayke worked on the task alone while iamausername and kmd remained useless. I've noticed that KMD only steps up when it's his ass on the line.

I gave 24 hours for people to post if they wished if they had any criticisms and none were given, therefore I had to presume that there were no flaws. Nobody came up with any ideas, JD only posted once throughout the whole thing and that was to post the name. I did consider messaging JDodge asking him to do something but as I saw his name online quite a bit he had seen the QT and had no objections. Evidently I was wrong and he had objections and instead of verbalising them he decided to watch the team fail the task.

Iam Didn't know what was going on is my guess, and without any direction from our miserable PM that just LEFT and didn't do anything really. Woooo A QT wooo a TERRIBLE Idea BYE HAVE FUN I KINDA WANT IT SET UP THIS WAY BTW

I am not going to push for Iam to be fired as it is Iam's first task, however I did actually request for Iam to send me some stuff about Iam's skills that we can put to use in the task as well as gave Iam the opportunity to ask questions

KMD actually did nothing, throughout the whole thing, if anyone other than me were to be fired I would select him. After I'd posted the mini image I looked through the quick topic and all of the information I had requested to be put onto the page was pretty much there, adding a few adjectives and put it into proper sentences and it was practically there.

In order of things done in this task I would rank people the following:
1. Cayke (Logo)
2. JDodge (Name)
Joint Third was Kmd and Iam (Nothing)

[Max]

I send Iam and Cayke to safety.

[Max]

I don't expect you to get fired, that's why I brought you over Iam, I don't genuinely want or expect you to be fired

[Max]

No, if I was fighting for my own ass I would have brought back Iam, it would have been easier to get him fired than myself?

[Max]

I'd rather Kmd fired than myself, and I knew if I brought Iam back there would be a close contest between the two. So in short I wanted someone that wouldn't be fired, and because I disliked it when less people were brought through last time, and I have no intention of being hypocritical, and decided to meet my ends by picking, as you put it "muscle"

[Max]

okay. I expected myself to be fired there.

I also have no objections to Iam being in control

[Max]

I actually, and rarely, agree with JDodge, and vote yes to a reshuffle.

[Max]

I don't get how 'm meant to play this game two player

[Max]

That is an impressive score I spent about 3 hours and that was the best I could do, well done +

[Max]

I think you'll be playing "Duel" and that was a play on words with "Dueling"

[Max]

Blackberry you should be more surprised I'm still here.

I'm willing to get behind anyone with this one.

[Max]

Max step your ass up to the plate.

This means I'm PM

[Max]

So just to clarify, the winner is the team that sells the most items?

[Max]

zu_faul it's item 3 now

[Max]

[Max] bids [1592] on [Virgo 4]

[Max]

[Max] bids [1592] on [Virgo 4]

Generally the auctioneer doesn't bid on the item they're selling.

Max for biggest idiot on Virgo!

Generally people who are playing read the rules and notice that they are hardly going to bid for the opposing side, and that they are personally paying for the products not the team paying for the products

[Max]

Yet you're the only one so far slimy enough to actually bid on one of your own products.

It's about the winning here, if it was about being honourable this game wouldn't exist

[Max]

Self-believing you have a lack of integrity is a sign of guilt, I have nothing to feel guilty about, I was just stating that you can hardly say that it's slimy to bid on yourself if we are not being marked upon something that is entirely irrational, I don';t see anything wrong with that, nor do I see any reason why I should have no confidence in my own side

[Max]

P. sure this argument would have more weight if you were winning.

I must genuinely say that I hadn't counted, I presumed we were about even, adding DGB (who I knew was going to post), I thought would push us just into the win

[Max]

I didn't look at other people's bids. I didn't see the need, I was posting just to so I could send people templates of what they needed to post, and for about 3 people that actually didn't make a difference, they still didn't bother to post their bid in thread

[Max]

I didn't look at other peoples I was going to respond bidding then, however I got wound up by the fact the people I PMed expecting to post didn't. I don't see how that proves I looked at other peoples bid, it just proves that the one above the response box was there. Whenever I respond I use the quick not the full, in all forms of forums I simply read the post just above mine, because you can't scroll down far enough to not see it, the only flaw with this autoresponse

[Max]

I wish to send Cayke back to safety, she has performed very well in this task.

The first time was partly down to the lack of other people's activity and I feel that this time the wrong strategy was employed and due to 1/3 of the team (peg) not actually doing anything.

Originally I intended to do a spamming strategy as I felt that it would get more money than by asking specific people, cayke disagreed so instead we employed the strategy of asking people we thought would actually bid for the items, or knew well enough for them to pick us, of the people I knew only one had a high number of posts DGB, and only one actually posted, DGB.

Pickemgenius has still not picked up his message from two tasks ago, and I think should be considered awol and be fired. Reason that it shouldn't be me is because there is evidence I have actually tried whereas there is none that pickem has made any attempts throughout this game.

[Max]

Basically fire me and replace peg
or Fire peg

[Max]

I presume as I don't have IM I presume I should automatically use PMs?
