The Apprentice: MafiaScum - Someone Hired!

[animorpherv1]

animorpherv1

, everyone pretty much says you're worthless. Why should you stay?

I should stay because, with my team, they seem to do more talking at night (aka

I CAN'T GET ON BECAUSE I'M SLEEPING

) then they do at day. when I read the post times, there are post at not even 1:00 AM.

What? I'm in high school just like you are, so I know our hours are pretty much the same. You have no excuses.

So your awake when you sleep?

Damn you got me

[Eteocles]

+, why should I not fire you after your clusterfuck on this task?

I did not preform to my best ability on this task. If you look at the big picture, though, do you really want animorph or drench as your apprentice? Neither have shown any kind of teamwork ability or had a major contribution to the group.

I'd also like to bring up the last challenge. I made several attempts to contact Drench, all of which he ignored. I found out that he was actually playing an immunity challenge in another game. This shows that not only did Drench ignore orders from his leader, but that he is not dedicated to this competition. He's not that bright either since I found out it was actually a fake challenge set up by yourself to distract him...

[Drench]

Before I answer the question directed at myself, I'm taking a moment to respond to Eteo's little statement.

I made several attempts to contact Drench, all of which he ignored.

You made

one

attempt to contact me, while I was currently sleeping with my computer turned off. Sure, I was using my iPod at the time, but it doesn't exactly have top-notch IM systems. I did not receive any notification of your IM. Furthermore, I only received half of the message as an offline IM.

This shows that not only did Drench ignore orders from his leader,

Disproven.

but that he is not dedicated to this competition

Sleeping?

He's not that bright either since I found out it was actually a fake challenge set up by yourself to distract him...

I knew it was fake. It was the first thing Jath said to me.

jathan84 (6:06:06 PM): i was j/k i dont acutally know what the challenge is
jathan84 (6:06:09 PM): i just like posting random stuff in thread
Drench394 (6:06:16 PM): Curse you.
Drench394 (6:06:19 PM): lol

So in conclusion, Eteo is wrong all throughout that paragraph.

Drench, what have you contributed on this task or prior tasks? Do you think you deserve to be in here?

In this task, I was the first to start the challenge. I regret that I was unable to complete the challenge, but I was ready right from the get-go. I also managed to display the 3rd best score of all team members, submitted or no.

My participation in other tasks has been limited, I admit, however, what I have done I have committed to it. An important thing to note here is that I don't believe by any means I have been the most detrimental to the team. animorpherv1 and Max, who is not with us at the moment, both have compelling cases as to why they are detrimental to the team. I believe they have both contributed in more detrimental ways then I have.

However, even with that, I believe in this round, I fully deserved to come here. I do not believe, under any circumstances, that I should be fired, as there are people who have, and will continue to be a detriment to the team. I don't believe I am one of those people; I believe I have a place here.

[Eteocles]

Disproven? Because you say so?

I tried to contact you at least 3 times.

(7:21:18 AM) AddyMuyo: drenchy
(7:23:09 AM) AddyMuyo: drench, i know you're there
(7:23:19 AM) AddyMuyo: you're competing in a fake immunity challenge
(7:27:27 AM) AddyMuyo: I really wish you wouldn't play hard to get, drenchy poo

(7:46:05 AM) AddyMuyo: (7:10:16 AM) jathan84: i got drench
(7:10:21 AM) jathan84: to do a nonexistant immunity challenge
(7:10:22 AM) jathan84: lolza

(The period where you were doing the fake challenge: 5-8AM)

So while you were goofing off, and I was managing the task, Jath kept me updated on your status and I checked back a few times to see that you were indeed ignoring me and continuing with the fake challenge.

And thank you, but I already have that last convo in it's entirety:

(3:05:51 AM) jathan84: i was j/k i dont acutally know what the challenge is
(3:05:54 AM) jathan84: i just like posting random stuff in thread
(3:06:02 AM) Drench394: Curse you.
(3:06:05 AM) Drench394: lol
(3:06:19 AM) Drench394: Now the mystery loses an answer...this makes me annoyed.
(3:32:11 AM) Drench394: groan
(3:33:40 AM) jathan84: ?
(3:33:50 AM) Drench394: nothing
(3:38:51 AM) Drench394: you sounded convincing in scumchat when you were talking about the challenge
(3:00:43 AM) jathan84: and then i didnt respond on purpose
(3:00:45 AM) jathan84: so he went back to it
(3:00:46 AM) jathan84: lolza

Did you miss the part about me (trying to) sleep? You contacted me '3' times in the space of 7 minutes, and then stopped. I call that one time.

So while you were goofing off, and I was managing the task, Jath kept me updated on your status and I checked back a few times to see that you were indeed ignoring me and continuing with the fake challenge.

My iPod is void of massive amounts of functionality. I have explained this already. You did see that, right?

Why thank you. So do I, and I'm pretty certain there are chunks missing.

Um didn't you claim a moment ago that you were sleeping? Even trying to sleep doesn't encompass doing a (fake) challenge in another game.

I have an odd routine. I go to sleep at 9:30, pretend so I get past the parents' checks, and then turn on my iPod. Sometimes I just play it straight away and put it to sleep when they're looking.

[Kmd4390]

Weird. My post got deleted.

And animorph's got edited.

[dahill1]

I'm going to be semi-V/LA this Thursday to this Sunday
I might have access but don't count on it

[ShadowLurker]

dahill1

, Herschel did not willingly agree to go to the Boardroom. T-Boz did. Why was the score you submitted so bad? It hurt the team, rather than helping it.

+

, the count looks like to me like one count of your contributing more than Drench (last task) and one count of you doing nothing as Project Manager (contributing less than Drench). What do you have to respond?

Drench

, why has your performance in all three tasks thus far been lackluster?

[Eteocles]

In the first challenge, I came up with Ideas for names and logos, and helped create the final product we submitted. Drench only posted once with a contradictory criticism of our logo and this (despite all of our comments on how flash was a ridiculous medium for this challenge and how horrible the other team's would turn out.):

I can see flash is being considered here. I'll work on a banner also, so we have some choice.

On the second challenge, I contributed more than drench has this entire game, and on this third challenge we both failed to submit. So, I do not agree that we are even in contributions.

The bottom line, Mr. Trump, is that I have loads more potential than Drench. This one challenge does not reflect my future in this game. I promise I will not disappoint you again. If you keep me, I honestly think I have a very good chance of making it far in this competition. Whereas, if you keep Drench, I don't seem him making it past the next board room.

Well, Mr. Trump, as I mentioned before I had submitted the score

after

Max and pacman had said they did:

Max 86

04-02-2009 03:30 PM ET (US)
Right Sending it in, I have to leave, but leave sending as late as possible

and

pacman218292 88

Edited by author 04-02-2009 09:08 PM

<words>

Sending in, as it's very likely I won't have access tomorrow.

As for the actual score, I was pressed for time that particular week, and I have never been particularly good at that game (I played it some in elementary school iirc)

[Lord Gurgi]

Vote: Cay

by default.

Vote: Animoperv, Drench

[farside22]

bump

[ShadowLurker]

animorpherv1

, you submitted the worst score by far, less than what you start with, without any guidance from your team. Being a loose cannon is a terrible thing in the corporate world. In addition, your case for why you should stay was meaningless.

animorpherv

,

YOU'RE FIRED!

.

+

, anymore BS like this and you will be fired. You better step it up. You can go back to the suites.

dahill1

, I hate people who voluntarily offer to be possibly fired. It is one of the stupidest things to do to put yourself into the line of fire especially when I have fired people in the past for doing that.

Drench

, you have not contributed very much in thsee three tasks. In addition, there are some questionable allegations against you.

Drench

,

YOU'RE FIRED!

.

[ShadowLurker]

I need both teams to choose a Project Manager.

[SensFan]

I'll volunteer.

[dahill1]

I'm sorry Mr. Trump and it won't happen again.

Also I would like to volunteer as PM but only if someone chooses to be my assistant and for all purposes second-in-command as I will have limited access until Monday.

[Porochaz]

Isnt it 5 to 7 teams. Ill be second in command.

[crywolf20084]

Sens works for me.

[Izzy]

Sens works for me.

[JDodge]

Sens is good, put up or shut up time.

[SensFan]

In the interests of openess:

[18:49] SensPizzaLine: Are you implying I haven't "put up" in Apprentice?
[18:49] jdodge1019: no
[18:50] SensPizzaLine: k
[18:50] jdodge1019: i'm implying that you'd be the sort of person who it would be hilarious to see try to be PM
[18:50] jdodge1019: which would give me the best advantage
[18:50] SensPizzaLine: So you don't think I can do it, is what you're saying?
[18:50] jdodge1019: no not really
[18:50] jdodge1019: i think if you do do it it'll be on the backs of your team
[18:50] SensPizzaLine: Well, I respect your opinion.
[18:50] jdodge1019: and you'll take credit for you anyways

[Kmd4390]

Sens as PM works.

FTR, I think he can do a good job.
