Stranded in Portugal

A few things.

FTC will be Wednesday night. We will try do the whole Q&A thing on Wednesday but it could potentially spill into Thursday depending on Juror availability. Voting deadline, winner reveal, cast reveal, and aftershow will all take place on Thursday.



Before then, you should;

-leave a pre-vote list vote-to-win if you even slightly think you might not get to be here. Obviously include the full final four in order of preference. In your voting thread.

-prep your question/statement so we can run through things as quickly as possible live. Have it ready, or at least the bulk of it. Failing that at least know what you want to ask. Maybe y'all can dibs a topic in here between you? Do we really need six versions of the same question? Your call as a Jury if you want to co-ordinate questions or not.

-take some time to do fallen comrades in your confessional. This is not compulsory derp, but really, it's a nice thing to do to reflect on the game. Other people will be writing them about you in theirs -the finalists, the LL people, the hosts- so leave them something to read too. It doesn't even need to be much - one ~real~ sentence per person is appreciated. A paragraph of how you love someone will pay you back in spades come your next open-ID game

-declare your availability for FTC. Ideally we will work from first juror (Caryn) to final, but if you have other commitments, let us know in advance so we can re-arrange the order.



During FTC, you should;

-Be clean with your questions/statements. This is not the venue for a back and forth conversation. Ask or state your piece. Give them each a chance to answer if you want an answer. If you absolutely must, ask a clarity follow-up question, then do. One, not many. Declare yourself satisfied or no, then we move on to the next Juror.

-don't confirm you vote to the rest of the Jury if you can help it. Obviously some of you have strong preferences, and you will want to argue the case for your guy - but please don't come in and say something dumb like "I've locked my vote in for Frank". Let's try keep some suspense no matter how this is going. If you even think about a voting bloc I will bitchslap you into the LL and give Katie your spot.
This is your personal decision based on what you deem appropriate winner criteria. Discussion and argument is encouraged. Voting blocs are not.




Good luck with your decision Jury.

What time will the FTC be at? Because I have to be at work at 9:30 in the morning on Thursday so I can't stay for too late. Same goes for Friday FYI so moving it over won't help much.

Wednesday I'm bringing my car in to get an oil change and to check out whatever is wrong with the check engine light.

I think I'll be set and done with it by 8EST though!

Probably the usual challenge time? I will get Probst on it.

So you two need to be early in the running order is what I'm hearing.

Anyway the Queen can be last.

If were making sure we don't have the same question/ helping eachother with questions here's mine

What did you do better then the other two.

It's simple but I'ts an honest wonder

For sure this is my question


Because I have a feeling two of them def wouldn't be in that position if it weren't for me. Shawn/Vytas. Cochy and Ibe I can see getting to the finals without me. But Shawn/Vytas would have drown.

I won't be revealing my questions here, but don't worry, no one else will be asking what I do.

Can I go last....puhhhhhh-lease

I'm going to ask both of them to give me an in depth article about how Laura is better than both of them in every single way and no I'm not letting them half ass it. 1,000 words minimum is the LEAST I'll accept.

Can y'all do the things you're supposed to have done before FTC and we'll see. :P

Also Vytas & Shawn, make sure you read the OP in here.

mine isn't any thing special so should I go first or middle or what?

Prolly middlish Ralph. We'll sort this out tomorrow, but the plan is to get the whole thing done between 8 and half ten tomorrow.

Get yo shit prepped people.


If you need to, you can always leave it in your confessional. We will post it while you aren't here, and then you can read their answer when you can be here.

If I go last then can I have them do a 1000 word essay on why Laura is better than them? Like that way everybody else will get their shit done and Laura will finally be at peace.

100 words isn't even that much, Ashley.

I am done with my speech, but it's not even vicious enough.

I won't be here till after 9 but I pre-wrote my speech. No one will have the same questions as me cause they pertain to me so you can use it anytime.

Here's my speech if anyone wants to take a peak:

On second thought I feel like the Laura thing is kind of disrespectful to this whole thing so on second thought I'll go with something else. It was a fun idea but... Nah, not worth it tbh.

can i go last now.
