Quand il pleut, il pleut
|
...I really don’t know what to say, so I’m going to say very, very little and hold quite a bit of it to myself...
...Slim wasn’t axed or removed or whatever, he made a dignified choice to leave the team and the quiz and he worked very hard...in the last round...we stated what we felt needed to be stated in the privacy of the tearoom and accepted the 10 point deduction as a deterrent.../...regardless of whether we felt that deduction fair or not...so that has no bearing on anything in this round, the two things are not connected at all even though I realise that Slim did speak of both things...but the deterrent was accepted, as I say...so a line was drawn with that and moved on... ...anyways, I’m not sure that it would be about winning as such because it would be hollow and for me personally, I’m not sure that I wanted to win anyway, in fact I didn’t want to...because of the previous round and that our win could and would probably be doubted if it came to be, I would still though, always try my best..when we see ‘game drama’ which we do quite often on the forum...there is always words/phrases like ‘just a game’...and that’s literally true, because it is a game...but it’s also not just a game either because as you’ve said, Smithy...that wouldn’t envelope the hours/work etc in preparing and hosting...and an equal measure of hours/work applied by the teams/everyone taking part...and it’s completely displayed in our tearoom, how hard we’ve all worked and our hours of devotion because that’s the team we are and any quiz host would confirm that...for me it’s not about winning, it’s about teamwork and team spirit...so many reasons that I hoped for this quiz to take place../...hence the thread I made a while ago ...and none of those reasons were ‘winning’ ...(...although we all like the idea of that as well...)...for me personally, other than sleep time and eat time and a few other essential times, I’ve pretty much been a constant log in and doing the quiz...so I’m a bit emotionally exhausted and broken by this in my spirit../how many point deductions for working so endlessly...so I’m just choosing to go and not continue...enough... ...I’ve posted in the tearoom and it’ll be up to my team members if they will continue... ...good luck to them if they do and thank you for hosting this, Smithy...as well as negotiating your home and job moves...it’s very much appreciated and I know that our devoted hard work is as well...

There is no point in carrying on, thanks for running it Smithy and I'm very sorry about all this, you have so much going on already .
Agatha Quizteam will be top of the leader board now Shauns team will have to be penalised too for reverse imaging the round after you gave that final warning

as an outsider to this game, i'd like to come with a option to continue with this pub quiz
if the contestants like doing their research, well then let them do some research pre-round with just knowing the theme, so you have to do extra hard your best at ''homework'' before you get to know what you need to fill in, and during the round no more looking things up take this under consideration Smithy

...can I just ask...(..and I hope this is okay with everyone else on our team../...if not I’ll go with the wishes of others...)...that none of our scores are posted/or made known...and we just have a zero score or are not mentioned at all etc....because if we did do well with all of our hard work..?...then it would be unfair to have that doubted in any way as being genuine..and heartbreaking with all of our hard work...thank you...

Thanks for the messages everyone, it’s been an odd day to say the least

I’ve been speaking to someone that my flatmate had been ****ing on Thursday and he’s basically been on a meth bender since then which explains his increasingly erratic behaviour over the weekend

Too glam to give a damn

I’m sorry to hear what you went through, Smithy.
As long as you’re safe, I wouldn’t worry what anyone else thinks — especially work. |
