Aciid Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 You didn't accommodate around mobile users in other rounds so why now
Buddy! Posted October 1, 2018 Author Posted October 1, 2018 Everyone: Send in your votes regardless. Also, I would like to remind anyone who quits that you will not be participating in jury activities, including voting for the winner in the end.
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted October 1, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted October 1, 2018 they already quit
Buddy! Posted October 1, 2018 Author Posted October 1, 2018 Voting will proceed. I was contemplating whether or not to do an entirely new veto game, or scratch this round entirely and start over. But then I realized that's pointless and unfair to Rhisart who worked hard to win HoH. I have said in the past this game was not based around mobile only games. I'm always here for helping you guys work around any issues and have no problem doing so, but I did say that the mobile version was void and gave an extension to you guys to find a way to make it work. If you needed extra time, I would've allowed it. Regardless, we need to move on. If you're going to quit over this, fine. I can't stop you, but it's a slap in the face to me and everyone else who has worked hard to get this far. I've worked hard to keep this game running, sure there may have been a few missteps, but that doesn't negate the fact that I not only spent months planning this, i've spent months carrying this out and making sure I kept this running for you guys. I've taken time out of my busy life (I'm in school, graduating this semester so my workload is HEAVY. I also work full time.) So yeah. Let's move on and get to voting please. I have one vote in. @Queen Conchita @Alena @Rhisiart @PoKiTaurus@Aciid @Unoriginal@Loyalty
Loyalty Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I’m so sorry Buddy, and i’m honestly feeling terrible about it, but i’m quitting
Queen Conchita Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I'm sticking with my decision and quitting. Thankyou for the opportunity (nn why do i feel like i'm on The Apprentice)
Aciid Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Girl these people quitting and almost at the finale. The lack of backbone.
rl231 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Can you just bring one of us back in if they're quitting?
Aciid Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Sorry @Buddy! you don't deserve this fff. Serving ADR all stars.

Anyone else? Poki? Alena? Bring it on.
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted October 2, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted October 2, 2018 everyone quit and make Drip, Chanel and I the final 3 tbh
poki Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I will just leave this short explanation here under the spoiler tag and go. To start off I just want to say I am blown away that I have made it this far. Never in my mind have I imagined that I will be in the top ten. Never in my mind have I imagined that I will even be accepted for the cast in the first place. So, for that I must thank the other participants. There have been various moments of pressure and tension during the game. So many times have I had to choose a side. So many times was I afraid to open my mouth in fear of insulting someone. It is clear to me now that games such as this and Survivor, they are not for me. I came to this game with the idea that I will make new friends, and improve upon the past relationships I have had with several people in the house. I did manage to meet new people through the game, and I am forever grateful for this. However, it pains me to know I have only worsened several of the relationships I have had. I found myself right from the start in situations where I have to pick a side. A book I read once, called Eragon, very wisely explained how when you choose a side, you will form new foes and allies, no matter the choice you make. This very case has happened here and I regret letting things get to this point. I don’t want to make enemies. I don’t want to anger anyone. I don’t want to have bad blood with anyone. I didn’t understand that in order to win, you had to play rough. There were times where I have made people side eye me due to how untrustworthy I tend to be. This is reality, the cold hard truth is you can’t make everyone happy. I have learned this from a very young age while reading Llama Tips in SimCity3000. You can’t make everyone happy. At this point in life, I feel bad to say that the past few months have probably been the best of my life. There are times where I lie in my bed at night and just put my hand on my heart. I can feel it beating. I’m breathing, I’m alive. I know that not everyone feels this way, and that not even G-d can make everyone happy. This is why I thank every day for keeping my head above water. I’m going off topic, it’s too easy for me to stray away from the main point because it is so difficult for me to say it. It’s an uncomfortable situation for us all. Many suspicions rise because we cannot let go of our egos. That is the flaw in this game; someone has to win and everyone else has to lose. Ever since I came across a video showing all skill points for Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters while the late Scatman John’s song Scatman’s World played in the background, I realized something. A certain line in the song striked me the very first time I heard it: How can someone win if winning means that someone loses? It might just be impossible to change this world to this kind of scenario, but I like to do what I can to improve the situation for all on ATRL. Every game I have hosted so far on ATRL, my versions of Create A Label and Color Game, have no system of losing. This is why I have cancelled my Crash Bash game, because I did not like the fact I would have to eliminate people. Seeing Family Feud prosper with this mindset, and the current season of Platinum Hit also adopting it, has inspired me to come up with these rules for my games. I sit every day attempting to come up with brand new games that will allow a fun environment for everyone competing. I’m afraid I have made the same mistake as in Survivor, because Big Brother is not such game. It is about being the best, coming on top of the rest via alliances. It has its benefits, you get to be a part of something bigger than you. It makes you feel important. What about the one outside of the alliance? I have always been within these secret groups but I always wondered about those who weren’t. I have tried to keep calm and not burst out at anyone (although the xtina stans are truly pushing my patience), only once have I done so on ATRL. I only want to create a better environment for ATRL. I always step up when others don’t. I refuse to brag about all I’ve done for the Entertainment and Games section because I’m not about the “fame” or “glory” of it. I don’t want that kind of image. I don’t want to be glorified. Winning the ballads round of Search for Best Artist with Britney Spears’ Everytime, or any time that my song survives the bottom 3/2 voting in ABC makes me feel uncomfortable. Xedretinz Lododnz even asked me in a PM if everything was okay because I blacked out from ATRL after my first victory in a round. What I’m trying to say is, I never planned on winning Big Brother. Sometimes I assume people ask themselves “why join if you don’t want to win?” well, I don’t know to be honest. It sounds like a fun experience but I didn’t know how will everything go by. At this point Big Brother has become an uncomfortable situation. I don’t know how long can I continue like this. When spending the time on Tetris, I carefully choose where to drop the blocks and clear four rows with one block as much as possible. Funny enough, this kind of move is called a tetris. As I get in the zone I can clear rows even in the highest difficulty setting. Probably one of the weird fun facts about me. I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart for wasting everyone’s time like this. Most of my application was messed up because I thought being funny would at least bring up the mood as my application is getting read. A part of me wished it was revealed to the public to secure a few quick giggles. It seems to be a thing where people find me weird in a funny sort of way so sometimes I roll with it, but usually I look down upon myself for it because it makes me look like a joke. I don’t want to be seen as a (complete) joke, I try to be friendly yet also professional with the things I host. My very first effort, a collaboration with EdgeOfGlory wasn’t received as well as I’d hope back in early 2017. Ever since then I was able to produce my own events in ATRL and build a reputation for myself among animated movie lovers. Later this year, I plan to finally redeem myself in the Pokemon community. Almost 2 years later. Now however, I am making a joke of myself. I’m sitting here writing an open letter trying to explain why I’ve made my choice regarding this game. I just want to say that I am sorry for giving false hope that I will be a worthy competitor in this installment of Big Brother. I don’t want bad thing for anyone, I don’t want to cause any more damage for this game. I know that great effort was put into this season but I am afraid it will be best for me to step away before my bad energy spreads. I want to promote good energies and make sure everything will continue to have good energies in Color Game. I am sorry that things have come to this, after submitting my result I have begun questioning this entire institution and the legitimacy of it. I know it is insulting for me to feel this way regarding the game, but at that moment I couldn’t control my emotions. There have been more people raising concern about this whole front being a potential set-up. I will not name them, but there are many who believe not all is well with this season of Big Brother. Perhaps it is simply the way the game rules are set, perhaps it is just our egos feeling sore for losing. I don’t know and I would rather not know. It is with my innocence that I will believe it was simply an unfortunate chain of events. If it is revealed to have sinister roots, it will simply hurt whatever faith I had in all this. At this point our paths go in different ways but I just want to say that I don’t want grunt to come between any of us in the future. Arriving at the end of the round with my Tetris score of 624,000 and discovering that it cannot be eligible for the round has disgruntled me, but I don’t tend to hold spite for very long. In fact, I didn’t have any hard feelings towards this round by the end of the day. What I do feel bad about is the fact this round marked if my alliance will make it to the top 5 or not. We have missed this opportunity and from now on it would have simply been a slow fall from grace. Perhaps it was foolish of me to believe in this long shot, but I can see G-d did not plan for us to win this round so we must now move on. We go in different ways, maybe someday collide again. I won’t bring any negative thoughts and leave this whole situation in the past. If anyone feels the need to bring it up, I’ll just turn away. I do not believe in the act of spreading negative energies as they collide with the mystical auras of this world. I will leave and let the game continue in peace without my current negative energies. I understand I will not be part of the jury and I accept that. I know many love the competitive, elimination oriented aspect of the Games section, but from now on I prefer to support different parts of this institution.
Aciid Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) I honestly can't believe y'all ruined the game because you didn't get your way. Like the waste of everybody's time. @Citrus ban these ho's from the games section Edited October 2, 2018 by Aciid
