Day 5 Challenge

I'd rather not be one of the two chairs simply due to the fact of time restraints. However, if no one else wants to then I will do it.

As for a Jury list I think we need people who are trustworthy not to just side with friends and are willing to have an open ear. Also, perhaps bring in jury members who are familiar with the Mod we're accusing and the crimes we're accusing them of. That part though, I have no idea what to do about yet.

My first thoughts for jury members are:

Powder-Man
Phaedrus45
Specter313 (I think I have those numbers right)
Teddy

Anyone else to add to the list?

 

Keep in mind, your chairs need not write your argument in it's entirety, they need only state it. This is a team effort. You are a legal team.

 

I've spoken to Bizarro Aids Spideyville before. Can we add them to the list if they're up for it?

 

Wasn't planning on contacting them beforehand anyway.

 

I think SuperFerret, Manic, and E-Man would be a great choices too.

We also need to think about our argument and how to interpret this argument into our favor.

"Crimes against the hype". I may be putting too much thought into it, but I'll just leave the definition of crime here to help.


Crime - 1. An action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law.

Also, we need to narrow down who we would go after. Any suggestions?

 

Oh, Pickles and Spoons would be nice jurors. And enterthemadness since he pops in.

 

SCREEEEEEEEEECHH!!!

Just had an idea and Jury selection is important for it. I'd like to note first that I don't actualy agree with any of this but I think we could put up a good argument for it.

I've heard complaints in the past about how the mods, I want to say Matt specifically, have banned a lot of old posters that used to "make the hype fun." I'm thinking we narrow it down a bit and focus on their crime being hurting Hype Survivor by getting rid of so many of the early players who used to "make the game great and exciting."

It would take a lot of work but I'm thinking that we'll have to find out, if possible, who banned what former players like Kibobe, Holly, etc. We'll have to focus on how Survivor used to be HUGE but now it's not as big and how that was directly the result of the bannings.

It may not work, you might not like it, but it was just a thought.

Also, as far as Jury selection goes I recommend two things. Get people who are still active hypsters but used to frequent LSP and play Survivor over there (where the banned members went oftentimes). Secondly, find some old threads that talked about the "good old days" when hype was more "fun" and find Survivor players from then who were upset by the bannings, etc. If we can get a good number of Jury members who agree with us on that regard we could have ourselves a chance of winning.

Thoughts? It was just something I thought of and it might not work. We'd have to have a good argument otherwise it's not going to work.

What the defnese would say is:

Survivor has been kept going by two mods: Matt and Spider-Fan. Our defense for that is that the Mods have hurt Survivor so bad with their bannings that they HAVE to keep it going themselves, even having to beg at times to get people to play.

They'd bring up the bannings being necessary and brought on by the posters themselves. Our defense would be that we aren't condemning the bannings themselves, as they have to do their job, but the falling star of Hype Survivor. They chose to ban these people and Hype has lagged as a result of it to the point where we can only have them once or twice a year to keep interest. The crime of the bannings caused that. Not the crimes that caused the bannings.


Anything else? What are your guys' thoughts?

 

I don't know how much help I would be with that argument, since I've only been around since 2009, and I only played the previous Survivor game before it and was eliminated mid way. If you guys think you can win this, I'm all for it.

 

I played Hype survivor once before too, & I barely remember who was on my team and all that. I think DP and possibly Dog Lips may have been on my team, but I'm not too sure. I just remember being kicked out at some point.

 

Is Erzengel a mod or member? And in addition to that question, does he still post frequently? He's a survivor legend and would take the Jurying seriously.

 

Dang. I didn't realize I was the only oldie Member. I guess Kane would actually be close to that time period but he's sorta been awol. Alright, it's probably a good idea to come up with something else.

I think Byrd's idea on Bamf could be good but I'm not familiar with his postings. I'd be little help.

 

Potentially. Sadly though, I'm so strapped for time this week through likely next weekend that I'm not going to be a whole lot of help. I definately promise to do what I can though.

 

The lack of participation is starting to get on my nerves. Come on people.

 

I've been wondering that myself since last night. Where's the rest of our team?

 

Can we prove any of this stuff? And will we have testionies and all that fun stuff?
