Hell's Forum: TDFE

[YellowNerd]

[Juiz]

Spars swings his Hell's Forum branded Ban Hammer, but it is caught mid-swing by Juiz.

"I leave Hell's Forum to you for ONE ROUND and this is what happens?" Juiz grabs Jenny's used Idol off of the ground

"I never once said that an Idol nulls all votes towards you, only that it saves you from elimination. I know Idols in past TDFEs would null your votes, and you could use them on other players.." Juiz's face grows red like a certain Chef as he turns and throws the Idol against the wall, shattering it.

"..BUT THIS IS NOT PAST TDFES, IS IT? I said this Idol will block an elimination. That means that Jenny is eliminated this episode due to having the most votes on her team, however her Idol, which she used, blocked that elimination. Yellownerd is NOT eliminated. Nobody is, due to the Idol blocking it."

Juiz hands Yellownerd his jacket back and signals him to rejoin Team Jenny.

Episode Five: The Taskmaster!

(The forum keeps breaking when I tried to make the post so here's an abridged version; they had to all do tasks which are listed below.)

Confessionals:

Spoiler: 

Kubby: I've noticed a pattern. A very interesting pattern, confirmed by four episodes. See, whenever Juiz is behind the challenge, we lose. Whenever Spars is behind the challenge, we win. That means one thing and one thing only: Juiz rigs that shit in the Lynch mob's favor! ... ... ...Well, or Spars rigs it in ours. But, hey, that's just a theory, a TDFE theory

Yellownerd: Imagine kicking YN out and then comes a JoJo Challenge

Wumbo:

The Sam Lovers beat The Lynch Sam Mob 5-2 (Entries are in the post below)
Jenny and Log played BGO, Jenny won
Adonis and Sanic rapped, Adonis won
Kubby and Hound made a picture, Kubby won
Gunnut and Sam did a comedy routine, Sam won
Wumbo and Yellownerd made Stands, both won
Dr. Stein and Log did a promo, Log won

Confessionals:

Spoiler: 

Kubby: Huh, well. My theory got disproven. Somehow I'm not too sad about that

Jenny: im evil rawr

Yellownerd: I swear to god if i get voted out again i will yeet a child off a bridge

Wumbo:

Adonis: Uh Im genuinely not sure how this battle went. I feel like Sanics lines were definitely more clever but he didnt really fire major shots, which is kinda all I did at the expense of not having that many clever bars. I do think my reference to insult ratio was good, though. But this battle PROBABLY comes down to what the judges value more. Then again I could just be trying to give myself more credit then I earned idk. Im just happy that I was able to do something for the team and also never have to rap again.

Results: (Abridged version since the forum keeps crashing when I try to post them for real)

Spoiler: 

Jenny and Yellownerd both got a point? Did their team vote them off anyways?

Spoiler: 

Nah mang.

Did Sanic or Stein get booted?

Spoiler: 

Nope, but Stein got one vote.

Hound and Gunnut are left and did the worst, one got 2 votes and one got 3.

Spoiler: 

Gunnut got 3 and Hound got 2 so BYE GUNNUT YOU LOSE

Log:

Spoiler: 

I heard some dude called Dr. Stein was talking shit. You might not be able to count your Nerf guns properly but you sure as hell can count on me beating your ass. You’re up against the 1%, the complete package. Last season I answered to no one and sliced the shadow alliance in half like a block of tofu. Meanwhile you’re just over there letting Jenny make you her bish. And what about your team? The Lynch Sam Mob? Please. I’m the Sam lynching pioneer! I would claim copyright but we’re about to own you guys any way. Our team has fucking Sam on it and even he can’t match your team’s level of suck! Do you know why that is? Because it’s full of bishes and no names like you!

Dr. Stein, that name’s kind of fitting. That dude spent like, 12 minutes on screen and barely did anything. That’s about as much as you can hope for out of this game! You’re taking on the coldest motherfucker forum wide and I’m gonna spheal the deal! Just act like the Roblox virgin you are and get the fuck out of here! You’d better pray to your lord Bajeebus or whatever to make it out of this smackdown alive! I'm sorry am I being too harsh? Well, since I’m a nice guy I’ll leave you off with the best compliment I can come up with: at least you’re not Gonad.

Episode Six: Scenes From A Michael Hat (And I Guess Other People Too)

Hey it's me again. This challenge will be a two phased challenge. The first part will be completely independent; you cannot discuss this first part with anyone on your team (The second part of the challenge is the bulk of the challenge and will be team-oriented, don't worry)

For the first part of this challenge, you all must send me a prompt. This prompt must include a Location, a Genre, and a 20 word or less gist of the plot/prompt.

So for example:

Anime North, Comedy, Juiz and Dion go on a crazy adventure where anime becomes real.

Each person must send me one prompt. This is fairly easy and shouldn't take long to complete, so I will not be giving a time-limit, though I will say who still needs to send it so Captains can hound their teams.

As a reminder, again, these prompts are to be created on your own, you cannot talk to your team about your prompt, you cannot share it, you cannot ask for feedback. If anyone fails to follow this instruction, there will be consequences..

~ After prompts were sent in

Both teams will be sent 3 prompts that were chosen at random from the opposing teams submissions. You must work together to write three different stories that fit each of the provided prompts. Each story must be at least 500 words, and everyone must contribute to each story. You will need to write the stories on a Google Doc, so I would like each of you to use an assigned font color to show what you've written.

So to recap:

You're getting 3 prompts
Each of the prompts must be its own story
Each story must be 500 words, at least
All team members must contribute to each story
Each team member will be assigned a font color and must write their contributions in the Google doc in that color font

Confessionals:

Spoiler: 

Anonymous: I may not be able to keep up with this alliance much longer. Time to stick a knife in your back and move on without you

[Juiz]

Results time. In this challenge, you were all provided 3 prompts and had to write stories that followed said prompts. Let's see how you did:

The Sam Lovers stories: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...U35ktf1dM/edit
Red - Sam
Blue - Adonis
Green - Wumbo
Purple - Log
Orange - Kubby

A deserted island / Action thriller / 14 people are shipwrecked, then form a suicide pact where they compete in challenges until there's one man standing.

First off, how DARE you call me a crab. Now that that's out of the way, overall this was a decent entry. The comedy was certainly there, and it fit the prompt well enough, but it kind of felt like literary blue-balls; you guys introduced the premise of competing in challenges to survive, but then just stopped in a sort of "And then they do it, the end" fashion. There are some situations where this works (which we may see later on in these reviews) but in this case, it hurt the overall story. I would have much preferred some quick, hand-waving gist of some of the events on the island, with the final person standing being revealed as the ending (props if it somehow ended up being Gunnut) As far as contributions go, Adonis could have certainly contributed more, a point that may occur a couple more times in these reviews, but overall it wasn't enough to take points off for.
Score: 5/10

Starbucks / Romantic Comedy / Gonad's been approached by a hot Starbucks barista

This story. This story right here. Overall, this is my favorite one of the six submitted stories, as it had a clear goal with its story and stuck straight to it. The comedy was there and actually overall very strong here. Even the little bits, like the random changing of Staysee's name was enough to get some chuckles out of me, and in the end it did something nobody saw possible; had Gunnut do something badass, possibly get laid, and surprisingly enough, impress with a pun. You all worked together evenly enough on this one, and while Adonis could have contributed a bit more, his ending was strong enough to make up for it.
Score: 8/10

Seattle Underground / Horror / A family of 5 get separated from their tour group and the way they came seems to have changed...

I'm actually mad that it took me until the third story to realize that you started each of the three stories with the exact same sentence. Not taking any points off for that, as it's actually legitimately hilarious that you did. That being said, this was a very weak entry, which is disappointing following the great story that came before it. You guys almost completely ignored the genre of "Horror", and chose to go straight towards comedy, again. Having some comedy is fine, but you can't completely disregard the genre provided. Overall, this story also doesn't really seem like it's actually finished in the way that it ended, which is a big problem as well. As far as contributions go, there was once again a member who could have contributed a bit more, this time being Kubby. The first sentence joke is funny, but that can't be the only thing that you contribute.
Score: 2/10

Overall Score: 15/30

The Lynch Sam Mob stories: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...tp8D9swiw/edit
Red - Jenny
Blue - Sanic
Green - Dr. Stein
Purple - Yellownerd
One note to mention before judging is that mid-way through this round, Hound quit TDFE, and did not contribute to this challenge at all. Hound quitting has no bearing on the results at all, just felt it was worth mentioning here.

Paris / Romantic Comedy / All of the forumers remaining in TDFE slowly come to the realization that they are all attracted to each other and should have an orgy together

First off, the prompt says that they "slowly come to the realization", but honestly this entry drops the lust almost immediately. Not that it's a huge detractor to the overall qualty of the story, it's just one thing I noticed. The Smash metaphor was an easy one to make, but with the group involved, it still fit. As things started to get a bit steamy, I was actually concerned that we'd start to cross the line a bit and go into full blown smut territory, so I'm glad the decision was made to just toe the line, but never fully cross it, and to end the story right before anything actually happens. In most cases that's a lazy writing tool, but in this case, if anything, it helps the story as a whole. Overall, though, this was a decent entry, and everyone contributed their fair share.
Score: 6/10

Wumbo's house / Horror / Wumbo's about to leave to pick up a meat lovers pizza but can’t remember where he put his car keys

This entry was honestly overall weaker than the first one, with one of the bigger issues for me being the overall sentence structure. As a whole it felt very.. I don't know how to explain it.. almost sticatto-esque? A large portion of them could have been tied together in a way that made it feel like there was some actual flow in your story, but instead it just feels very start-and-stop and fact statey. Mid-way through the story, I actually tried to predict the twist, because of course there was going to be a twist, and actually came up with the twist that Wumbo was actually just in someone elses house entirely. The reveal that the man at the table was also Wumbo was just a cop-out ending, in my opinion. As far as teamwork goes, you all contributed equally, so no marks off for this one. Also sidenote, always leave your shower curtains closed kids, leaving them open and bunched together is a quick way to get mildew.
Score: 4/10

A random ass courthouse in West Virginia / Legal Drama / A public defense lawyer defends a dude named “Murders McGee”, who is suspected of killing his cousin/wife

The third entry unfortunately is also the weakest entry, as this one just wasn't doing it for me at all. One of the bigger overall issues with this one is the lack of equal contribution; for this entry, Yellownerd was only able to contribute a total of five words. If he at least managed a couple sentences, this would not affect your score, but unfortunately five words just is not cutting it. Sparts and I did discuss this, and almost considered this an auto-fail, but since he contributed enough to the other entries, we decided to go forward with judging. That being said, another glaring issue is the fact that the prompt specifically mentions his "cousin/wife", you all completely left the cousin aspect out completely. Now I'm not sure if the initial intent of the prompt was that he was suspected of killing his cousin AND his wife, or his wife that was also his cousin, but regardless, there was no mention of a cousin at all. As far as the story goes, my biggest problem is with the ending; it feels cheap, lazy, and overall just not very good.
Score: 2/10

Overall Score: 12/30

With a score of 15 to 12 out of a maximum of 30, the winning team is @The Sam Lovers . Not only do you all not have to eliminate someone, but there's also an additional reward for winning. Sam, Adonis, Wumbo, Log, Kubby. Welcome to the Merge. @The Lynch Sam Mob , not your strongest showing this round. While Hound may have quit, as previously discussed, in the event that you lost, you would still need to vote someone off. Unfortunately, you have lost, and thus, must vote someone off. PM votes/confessionals

Confessionals:

Spoiler: 

Jenny: Welp, I’m just glad that’s over

Wumbo:

Kubby: Hmmm... the more I contributed, the more points the story got. There's a pattern in there. That, or my team has an affinity towards comedy.

Alrighty, results time. As you all witness with the victory of The Sam Lovers, they all made it to the merge with their win, and so that obviously means that the three of you that survive this elimination ceremony will be joining them. We'll start with Mike Hat; did your team vote you off? Surely, they'd have no reason to, right? Well...

Spoiler: 

No, they did not. You received no votes.

Next up is Dr. Stein. Your team may not know you well enough, and thus may view you as a wild card. Was that enough for them to band together to give you the boot?

Spoiler: 

Nope, you did not receive a single vote either. That just leaves Jenny and Yellownerd.

Yellownerd, you were called out specifically for not contributing as much as the others on one writing prompt. Was that enough for your team to sacrifice you on their way to the merge?
Jenny, under your leadership, your team lost challenge after challenge. Was this the last straw? Did your team decide that you did not deserve to move on after failing your role as team captain?

Yellownerd, Jenny, the forumer that is moving on to the merge is..

Spoiler: 

Jenny.

Unfortunately, Yellownerd, every member of your team voted for you, yourself included. As such, you will not be going on to the merge, and have been BANNED.
