(SURVIVOR: POPCORN ISLANDS - FINAL CHALLENGE)

Welcome to your last challenge. Congratulations to rajrhcpfreak and rolandofthewhite for making it this far. Only one of you will win. To determine the winner you will compete in a series of challenges. The person with the most votes at the end of the challenges will win the title of Sole Survivor. As your first challenge, you must convince your previous voted-off tribemates, known as the jury, to vote for you. Each jury member's vote will be worth

20 Popcorn Points

. Jury members will first ask a question to either or both of the Final Two. The Final Two may ask one question to their opponent. After all questions are in the Final Two will respond. Once all responses are in, there will be closing statements from the Final Two and they will post their closing statements. The jury members will vote once the closing statements are finished.

During the jury-process compeitions will be going on. The competitions may be worth anywhere from 15-50 points. Results of the competitions will not be revealed until after all votes are in.

For the moment being, I would like everybody to send in an opening statement/question(s) that address the Final Two. rajrhcpfreak and rolandofthewhite may ask one another a question. Please send all these questions/statements via PM.

The Jury:

Coolbot ... Pie_is_good ... mlaker ... PBuG ... SaveTheDragons ... PookyTheMagicalBear

[Blackberry]

Any and all questions are due within 72 hours.

[Blackberry]

Because it was the weekend, I will give people a little while to get questions in. As we wait, we will begin the first competition.

(SURVIVOR: POPCORN ISLANDS - FINAL CHALLENGE - COMPETITION ONE)

In this challenge we will once again be dealing with math. There will be five problems posted below. This challenge is a mix of the questions in Challenge 1. I will give you some roman numerals. Your goal is to use signs to determine the numbers into a solution. You may divide, multiply, add, subtract and use parenthesis. Each question will be worth

5 Popcorn Points

. If you have any questions, please post in here. Nobody may help you with the answers. (This is only for rolandofthewhite and rajrhcpfreak).

PROBLEM 1

(III, V, VI, X, II) to equal XVII

PROBLEM 2

(IX, IV, VI, I, III) to equal XV

[Blackberry]

PROBLEM 3

(III, II, IV, V, VI) to equal VIII

PROBLEM 4

(XV, II, V, III) to equal II

PROBLEM 5

(I, II, III, VI, VIII, X) to equal X

Your answers are due Thursday by 4:00 PM Est. If you do not turn in an answer your score will be 0. And your answers must be in roman numerals. If you give me a solution to a problem using the wrong numerals it will be marked wrong. There is no partial credit. You either get it right and earn 5 points or you get it wrong and earn nothing. Speed will not play a factor.

[Blackberry]

The maximum possible points for Part One - Math Competition is

25 Popcorn Points

.

[Blackberry]

Exactly 24 hours remain until the deadline. An extension will not be given.

[Blackberry]

Rajrhcpfreak + Roland, please answer all questions via PM. After you have answered all the questions, conclude with a closing statement. I will post your words after you have both submitted your responses and closing statements. After they are posted, the jury may begin voting.

Okay, first off for rajr:

Rajr, I had no intention of betraying you, if you think I did. Me, pie, and roland had a Final Three agreement, and during the Final Seven, before voting out pie, me and roland each made seperate agreements. I made an agreement with mlaker and Pooky, and roland made an agreement with you and STD. We were going to honor his agreements over mine, because Pooky lied to my face about a certain alliance of four. STD confirmed for me that he lied. I was almost sure that me and roland had made it, but I guess I was wrong since I was voted out.

roland, you know that I'm probably voting for you unless you answer someone's question horribly. I don't have any unfinished business with you, so yeah.

My question for both of you is this: Why would each jury member deserve to win, even though they can't?

[Blackberry]

Well, congratulations on making the final two.

My questions are mostly about the round I got voted out, because I knew more about the politics of the time.

Going into the first round, I tried to get an early alliance with Raj (and hopefully take it to the final 2). I also contacted STD and found that he had made an early alliance with Roland. Great. We joined forces (giving us 50% power over the vote) and got Coolbot out early.

I noticed that the alternate bandwagon was on PBuG, so, by process of elimination PBuG MUST have voted for STD. I figured I'd take advantage of the fact that PBuG appeared alliance-less, and I offered him a plan that would take me and him to the final 3 (I hesitantly suggested Raj as the third).

He objected, saying that he already had an alliance with Roland. My first hint that Roland was driving the game. Rather than just roll over and let Roland decide the game, I decided to take action. After trying to get Raj and STD in with me, it became fairly clear that Roland had them in an alliance as well.

[Blackberry]

I decided my only hope was to get Pooky and Mlaker in with me and attempt to swing PBug's vote to Raj (hoping he would still go along with the final 3 plan). If we could get Raj off, me, pooky, and mlaker would hold enough power to at least force a tie.

That didn't work out so well

PBuG clearly did the right thing voting me out- he would have gone down soon. I was shocked, though, that Pooky and Mlaker had turned- I thought for sure they would go down next, unless someone realised what Roland was doing.

Although Pooky came dangerously close, it turned out that Roland picked Raj to go final 2. I want to know more of what happened in that blank space- were there any politics, or was it just business as usual?

[Blackberry]

My questions:

To Roland:

1) If you had won immunity, who would you have taken to the final 2?

2) At what stage in the game did you make your gameplan? What happened in the game that threw you off, and what did you do to "fix" it?

To Raj:

1) How did you

strategically

play a better game than roland?

2) How do you predict the individual jurors will vote? (be specific- Dodging the question will lose my vote)

[Blackberry]

Ok,
My question for both is name a number, whoever is the closest wins my vote.

[Blackberry]

What has your strategy been? I've had to save you from like 3 times that you were going to be booted, so if I'm missing something, please let me know.

[Blackberry]

Well we've made it far roland.

i really am appreciative of you making the alliance with me and coming to the finals together...

i think throughout the whole game i made 2 alliances 3 if STD counts, but in reality i just agreed to the final 4. and i broke only one. and that was after i heard of the plot he made aginst me.

My question to you is.. how many alliances did you make? and how many did you break?

Can you tell me the name of each people you turned on?

[Blackberry]

That is all the questions. Please send in your responses ASAP.

[rolandofthewhite]

Thanks for the questions, guys. I'll work on getting them filled out soon.
