The MBTIc Gauntlet 2008 Discussion Thread

[SillySapienne]

I'm confused...

Is this an exercise in make-believe, or an exercise in intellectual warfare?!?!?

When are we going to get down to business.

Oh, and who's team am I on?

 

[SillySapienne]

Seems like the ball is beginning to move.

Surely, you must be kidding here, right?

Can't we get some Ti dom to execute the necessary logistics, and divvy us up in appropriate teams so as to to let this Battle-of-the-best-group-of-(wo)men commence already?!?!? Sheesh, I'm getting impatient, plus, I need to prepare my strategery...

(Lol, this is a perfect example of how and why people can't govern themselves in an organized fashion, the colony needs structure, goddammit, a structure imposed by authority figures and that is organized by their/its meting out of hierarchical divisions of labor.)

I came here to fight to the death, and will soon start swinging indiscriminately, if this inertia persists for much longer.

And Night, you are far too nice to be a knight, your position should be that of supporting cheerleader/dame, throwing roses and kisses and words of encouragement.

Lol, joking.

Thank you for the vote of confidence!

No need to thank me comrade, you and I are on the same team.

It was the wind.

Odd foreplay.

If you want to make out, just ask.

 

[SillySapienne]

Odd foreplay.

If you want to make out, just ask.

Yes, and no.

 

[nottaprettygal]

Is anyone else afraid of being the last one picked? It's like gym class revisited.

 

[Atomic Fiend]

Seconded!

Also, dammit. I wanted red!

I suggest calling dibs on blue.

 

[disregard]

Wait, so we are getting to pick our teams?

Sweet!

I know who I want.

 

[Tigerlily]

Well I already said who I'd like to be on the same team as me. Oberon, Jennifer (she will likely bale on us), Night, Rajah, Digest, Delilah, Pink Piranha, proteanmix, CC1 and CC2 (I hope I'm not forgetting anyone) and if Night wants to be the captain that's fine with me. I wanted NPG but I thought she might either laugh hysterically or spit on me or even both.

Oh yeah I'd like to be on the red team.

 

[ThatsWhatHeSaid]

That's prolly not gonna work. You should pick one person at a time, and I think you should start a new thread to do it. Just my suggestion...

 

[SolitaryPenguin]

Red means danger, or beef if it's a bouillon cube.


Can we have a Tiger Team?

 

[Totenkindly]

That's prolly not gonna work. You should pick one person at a time, and I think you should start a new thread to do it. Just my suggestion...

Seconded.

I mean, I like being on a kick-ass team... but I don't think it's conducive to having things work out right if one person prepicks an entire team before the rules were even clarified. Like I suggested before, the "draft round" concept (if people don't take their pick in the order personally) would work best for a fair team composition.

(And hey, pick me last if it helps prevent someone else from feeling bad -- I don't care! )

 

[disregard]

Eh... I would advise that we decide upon our teams privately.

Is night playing?

I suppose some teams will be bigger than others unless we can get to an even number.

 

[Domino]

Yes, and no.

You oughta. Night's bufftastic.

 

[Nocapszy]

I wanna play. Fuckin' sign me up.

Wait hang on. What are the competitions? If this is gonna be like posting videos on youtube of who can eat the most chirros in a minute I don't want to play.

 

[disregard]

No, it's not stupid stuff like that.

I just sent my list to the other captains. we shall be deliberating today!

 

[Nocapszy]

So what kind of stupid stuff is it? And who's team am I on?

 

[Randomnity]

Can I play, too?

I hope nobody is left out by picking teams so soon after starting the thread.

 

[disregard]

No one will be left out. I would never let that happen.

 

[disregard]

Ok, we have 30 members. I have updated the list.

We have room for two more but no more than that.

Delegation should take all day, so everyone can relax and think up some challenges that are good and not lame.
