Survivor: Surviving the Minor Works - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hmm.... You're most right, milord Saucepan Man... People ARE willing to defend the Man-in-the-Moon. Odd choice, that, but all the more fun to those of us interested in voting people off more than keeping people on...

++ The Man-in-the-Moon

I hear he's made of green cheese.

The Only Real Estel · 04-18-2006, 06:14 PM

Well, I don't think The Man-in-the-Moon deserves to win - definitly not. What kind of a message would that send to our youth? That irresponsibility and drinking is okay? Well I won't send that message!

But I do still want him around, because he knows how to have a good time & makes a marvelous fake ID.

+ + Mrs. Knight

Then he is a wonderful food source should his tribe begin to starve.

Really, Artaxerxes, Man-in-the-Moon, and the Little Boy are the only ones in that tribe with thumbs, even, and the Little Boy doesn't really count because he's far too young to be doing dangerous island work anyways. The rest are animals. Without the Man-in-the-Moon, Artaxerxes will have too much work to handle, and the tribe will begin to starve. But oops, they got rid of the green cheese man.

On the eighth day, the judges continued to batter the Mr. Bliss tribe, converging on Mrs. Knight in a stunning show of solidarity for two of the more canonical characters.

Mrs. Knight: 6 votes

Man-in-the-Moon: 2 votes

Queen of Faerie: 1 vote

And so, whether because of her name, her obscurity, or her banana fetish, Mrs. Knight was shown the door. And after she had seen the door, she was boiled to death in a vat of bleachwater.

I checked out the number of members on each team, and the TB Adventure Gang has more than the others. Time to change that! I again suggest getting rid of those rapacious

++Mewlips

Who wants spooky creatures like those around, and who's to say where they choose their victims?! Why, they belong in a Werewolf game rather than here!

Even in poems they're bad guys.

Hmmmm.... Hmmmmm! I like that idea.

I've considered voting for the mewlips before, but I think the entire Mr. Bliss cast ought to go first. Just because I've never read the book and can't imagine it's any good if it's no better than Roverandom.

So.....sine a vote has already been cast in that direction:

The defense of the Man-in-the-Moon waned on the ninth day, allowing a sneak attack by his staunchest detractors:

Man-in-the-Moon: 3 votes

The Barrow-wight: 2 votes

Teddy: 2 votes

The Mewlips: 1 vote

And so, the Man-in-the-Moon came down too soon, got spectacularly drunk, and staggered off into the deep jungle, never to be heard from again.

Day the Tenth finds 39 remaining contestants:
