If there's no new rule to get rid of inactives (or at the very least to not penalize their active teammates that have no control over their actions for their inactivity) I wouldn't even consider joining BR4. This is getting ridiculous.

It is rather bad. And to be honest, if you want out tell V you want out. He's not cruel, he's not going to forbid it. He's making an excellent game for those who want to participate. Rather than just deciding to remain in, not participating until someone kills you which screws over the rest of your team just PULL OUT. (Feel free to laugh at that one).

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's ruined the game for me, but rather than fair wins of better answers it's the no shows that have resulted in the deaths of most of the dead. Granted, we would have lost this challenge with the answers we submitted anyway, but nonetheless it's just not on.

Obviously V's in a tough position since he can't kick someone out after one no show and it's tough to know where the cut off point is, but you really need to think of a fair way of punishing them soon.

And it was nice knowing you team :(

I agree with all of this.

Also: OMG! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUR AVATAR!!!!!!

Do you actually own ferrets? Are they legal in the UK? They're only legal in certain states over here.

...

Also: GO WRAITHS!!!!

And, Dude - DUDE!

[ferretchucker]

Alas, no, I do not. I just love them in general. Wish I did have some, they're perfectly legal here, but my parents say they stink. Will probably get them when I have my own place.

It's true - They definitely DO stink... However, if you're really anal retentive and clean out their cages more than needed, it helps...

I LOVE ferrets. I think they're absolutely friggin adorable. Another challenge with them is that they are truly pack animals, so if you're considering getting one, you should get at least another one to keep them company (a friend of mine dated a girl who was OBSESSED with ferrets and who gave me all kinds of Fun Ferret Facts - She had a total of 4 ferrets - They were the CUTEST).

I think we should unleash an army of angry ferrets on the inactive players.

[FreddyMyers]

Sorry guys. Insane couple of days of work (24 hrs in 2 days) only got to send answers in cause i went on my bosses computer while he went to the bank. I was never intentionally being the deadwieght even though other people were. Just had computer issues throughout the entire BR. Wanted that to be known seeing how i dont think ill be making out of this Hunt. Ferret and Bwind are dead on reguarding the deadwieght issue for the next BR.

Well, I reluctantly have to agree.

BR is a team game till 10 players are left. And unless and until I receive some sort of confirmation from a player that he/she is dropping out, it would be slightly unfair to penalise them for one, or even two, no-shows.

I agree the whole team shouldn't suffer for a no-show, but another point has to be covered here. Sometimes players deliberately don't send in their entries - maybe with the in-politics of the game - and it has happened before in BR. Sometimes team members don't communicate with a player resulting in their no-showing. There are all sorts of factors to be considered. Someone confirms their participation then doesn't send in their entry, or sends in one for one Challenge and none for the next one...it's tough to judge if they are still in or not? Or if they are doing it deliberately?

In the last 2 BRs I was lucky to have handy replacement contestants who gladly took over someone's position when they dropped out (like Roderick Usher did both times, and someone was willing to take over). The problem this year is the lack of attendance at HDC. There was simply nobody I could call upon to participate. Rayne saw my problem and got many of her friends involved in the initial stages, some of them still alive now, but everytime someone didn't show up and didn't even post their confirmation of dropping out it was always hard to find someone else.

One of the reasons why I finished off BR II the way I did last year.

The main reason for this BR III resurrection was to improve SOME sort of traffic this year. But alas, it has failed to do so. Even confirmed participants were being continuous no-shows...which is saying something.

I don't think there will ever be a BR 4. Really. Think this edition will be the final one. For good.
