VI: Final Challenge Results

Well, here we are to the final three, which ended up being the final two…which sort of ended up being the final one, since one admittedly had to half-ass the thing and said “Give it to [the other guy]!”

Well, [the other guy] in question did a mighty fine job with the thing, going far beyond what I expected by creating friends (if you can call them that) for the user, a progressive storyline on the main page and a pretty cute bit with margarine.

So, it seems this game is ending with a bit of a thud since there were only two finalists and one lobbied for the other to win, but it’s still worth it to see the winner’s webpage:

Character: Unlikely Hero. Mother: Yolanda Hero (this made me laugh, as did her profile pic). “Friend”: Da Heckler. “Friend”: a “mysterious” character named “Likely Evildoer.” Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the tragic story of Unlikely Hero.

SURVIVOR VI WINNER: BROOKS “BIG MAK” MAKI

VI: Elimination 13, Final Challenge: Fakebook

Right to it. Fourth place goes to:

Vote One: Brooks Maki.

Vote Two: Beau. “Beau. I agonized over this vote for a long time before deciding to vote for the person that is not me. ”

Vote Three: Beau.

Vote Four: Beau. “We never thought it would get to this so I am sad to say that I took the weenie way out and did a coin flip. Alas, Beau lost and I vote for him to be eliminated.”

13TH ELIMINATION FROM SURVIVOR: BEAU

So here we are; after the two months of non-submissions, judge lateness, and people taking the game too seriously, it comes to this: Rusty’s final challenge. I’ll cut and paste here.

—————————————————————————————————–

Fakebook

Open and create a fictional profile on Facebook using only one of the following series of themes. Friend Kelly and Ben by Sunday in the AM.

1. A 37-year-old sous chef from the Deep South. Profile must feature unicorns, Uno, and Brokeback Mountain.

2. A struggling 23-year-old performance artist from the West Coast. Profile must feature margarine, an iPad and Crayons.

3. A 40-year old Mormon from the Northwest. Profile must include Yoda, bananas and cognac.

4. A 30-year-old secretary from the Northeast. Profile must include The Wall Street Journal, oxen and an umbrella.

5. A retired 67-year old widow from the Midwest. Profile must include pajamas, Adam Lambert, and a garden hose.

Friendships will be given 1 to 5 points in the following categories:

a. Intentional hilarity.
b. Unintentional poignance.
c. Ingenuity in use of given themes.
d. General creativity.
e. Overall effectiveness of profile.

The friend with the most points wins the challenge and his or her creator wins KellyFace Survivor.

You know? Back when Rusty won this challenge I thought I was going to want to make minor changes to the scoring, but I think it’s pretty great as it is. Get crackin’, Survivors. I won’t put any limits on the amount of content this time, which means we might end up judging for a good month, but hey: it’s been the shortest game of Survivor ever, so what’s a few extra weeks? (I keed, I keed…we hope to have results on that day or the next).

In the unlikely event of a tie, we’ll have one more challenge. Otherwise, the next post will contain links to all three pages, comments, and your winner. In the meantime, I’ll be trying to figure out a way to run this game without inevitably driving people batshit crazy.

Cheers, Finalists. Good game.
