Welcome to the
Boardroom!


Welcome
Leonshade
,
Chevre
, and
TwistedSpoon
to the Boardroom.

Team Excel
has lost the task and Leonshade has selected you two to join me in the Boardroom. Now is the time to plead your case as to why you should stay in the game.

Leonshade

  • Did you not see the lack of aesthetic appeal in combining the rainbow title with your banner?
  • Why do you think your team lost the Task? Where did your team go wrong?
  • Do you think you deserve to stay in this game? What can you do to prove this?
  • Who should I fire and why?


Chevre

  • Are your surprised you were brought into the boardroom? Why haven't you answered any of your War Room questions?
  • Given your lack of performance in this task, is there a reason I should let you stay?
  • Do you think you would have performed better if you were Project Manager? What would you have done differently?
  • Who should I fire and why?


Twistedspoon

  • Are you surprised you were brought into the boardroom? Do you think you have contributed to the tasks thus far?
  • If you had a bigger impact in this task, what effect would it have had on the outcome?
  • Do you think I should keep you in the game? What can you do to prove that you're a good candidate?
  • Who should I fire and why?

1: The banner was the last thing added to the assignment. Perhaps the reason for that is that I considered the two assignments different, and I initially didn't consider putting the banner in assignment 3. The text and the banner were done seperately by seperate people, and I got the suggestion to add the banner into the text late into the day. I did so and asked for everyone's opinions. No one commented on the clash and at that point I was still thinking of the two assignments as seperate, so eventually we ended up with a product that hurt itself. Now that the results are out, the clash seems quite obvious, but I was not thinking about that at the time.
2: The lack of contribution from three seperate players was a big factor, I think we were understaffed. Tragedy was also the only one with the skills necessary to make the banner, so she had to work on that alone. Since the text team and the banner team were seperate, the two both did their seperate things and I carelessly combined the two into a final product as explained above, resulting in the clash everyone seems to hate.
3: Yes, I do. My teammates can vouch for my activity and workrate, both qualities severely lacking from both Spoon and Chevre in this competition. I also did my best to incorporate everyone's ideas into the submission and attempted to find a product that pleased everyone, as the multiple drafts I spammed into the inboxes of my teammates show. In the future I will keep showing these qualities and I will do my best and more to produce final products you will appreciate.
4: Both Chevre and Spoon would be valid picks, but if forced to choose I would pick Chevre. Spoon contributed to Task 1, while Chevre has been inactive throughout the competition. Tragedy chose to give her another chance last time due to Chevre's experience, but I'm not willing to give Chevre a third chance. Chevre has repeatedly shown that she does not care about this competition enough to contribute to it.

I should be fired, and I'll be entirely happy about it. Because really, after I move in to a new place and I finally check this, I have EIGHTEEN PMs, NINE or so of which are Leonshade's ghastly attempts at formatting font. Seriously? how did rainbows have to do with anything. And we have a quicktopic for posting links.

I'm deffos nowhere near as crazy about this game as Leonshade is. So please fire me so I don't have to deal with anymore PM-tsunamis.

I know I didn't try, and that's probably a bigger sin, but seriously Leonshade? Where did you ever get the idea that looked good? If I had been on I would've ripped it apart.

It's not a vendetta, it's a challenge at Chevre.

Everytime he gets on the internet, he must check in this game first to provide assistance, or risk being eliminated.

Chevre, Spoon, and kiwi have no rights to complain about what everyone else did. Pot meeting kettle and all that.
