Episode 1 discussion (IN HERE ONLY)

Waka said a major reason behind the lower points is that there was no double boot, and I'm saying it was public knowledge there was no double boot based on episode length. Also the mere fact the episode is shorter implies there aren't going to be as many points.

So when you say we had "we had no way of knowing", you're wrong.

I'm not getting offended. And I'm not going on the attack. I'm just arguing with you.

Macka I'm glad you at least understand my argument.

I don't care to argue with you, I was just telling you the basis of disagreement with you is the assumptions based on episode length.

Guys can we talk about the episode please and discontinue this shit fight? Thanks.

Alec is a cutie Wes is less weird looking that his picture implied and his dad kind of seems like an asshole. Who talks shit about their own kid on tv?

[Duck]

Assuming a single boot by the episode length is not something you can substantially hold an argument for. There have been episodes in the past with double boots at the same length and even shorter than this premiere.

Case in point, RI and SoPa both had hour-length double boot episodes.

God damn, I wish I had Josh's body.

Thanks Eric. I was just reading through this after excitedly seeing the episode and seeing this was at 7 pages (usually, the discussion threads here for episodes barely crack a second page ).

Everyone, chill the fuck out. I won't be tolerating any arguing here. It's a fun game and we're all adults. Discuss it like civilised adults or just don't post please. I ask that from everyone.

Firstly, suggestions are perfectly valid. This is not a perfect format and each season so far throws up different scenarios. If we can make the game better, I want to hear it. If someone suggestions something you don't like, it's fine to say why you don't like it. But do not make insinuations of motive. It's not going to help anyone. Ultimately, I want feedback but I will be making the decision.

As it stands, I'm going to sort out the scores and compare to previous season data. Some of you who have not played before need to realise that longer episodes have the potential to inflate scores. Any further discussion on this will be initiated by me in an appropriate thread.

Thank you and please return to discussing the episode.

Cheers.

The rules were stated before the game started. I didn't like it to begin with but you can't change them after the fact.

And 90 mins is obviously not long enough for two episodes

[Duck]

I've seen rules changed after commencement before. Just sayin'.

[doob]

Don't think rules should be changed after the fact, but I am doing well and didn't actually read any of this jabber

Missy was the best god damn choice I ever made.

As did most of the players it seems

Good episode. Lots of nice even coverage. Did every single player get confessionals before we even began? A few super quiet players ofc, but looks like a fun group and there will be drama for sure.

WTF at them getting hammers and nails and rope to build with though??

[Newman]

I definitely went about this the wrong way thinking back. The lower points you choose the higher chance you give to improve and the lesser amount to fall.

Can you maybe, leave the feedback thread unlocked? So this sort of shittalk can go in there instead of in here. Some things like this or other stuff only occur to people mid-season, or even need to be changed mid-season.

Now that we know how Exile works for example, it might be worth looking to tweak those points.
