Great job with setting everything up so far, Rascii! I'm really looking forward to Game 5 now; it's been years since I played. I just hope I can have a good innings before I'm voted off or freeze to death. |

Hooray!
One question: How are we getting to Survivor Iceberg? Are we expected to travel there separately? Do I need my industrial snow boots, or is arriving by via a luxury cruise ship not entirely out of the question? |

Everyone arrives their own way, as long as they arrive at some point on the same day.

As a note, I'm planning on posting the first update in the Opinions Column once all the contestants have posted once (or at the end of the week, whichever comes first). After that, I could post anywhere from twice a week to multiple times in one day, depending on how active everyone is (for reasons that will become obvious when I get it up and running).

What time zone is Survivor Iceberg in? I want to give the contestants the most chance possible to post in their journals, but I don't want to waste my 7 votes this week...

The vote off scripts used to be automated but now they're done manually by me. Therefore there is no official timezone for Survivor, so vote carefully.

I think I may have misunderstood your question the first time. Just to clarify, the poll will reset each night at midnight GMT-5 (Eastern Standard Time) since that's the server time for my host. However, each Friday, the poll may "close" and the two users may be removed at any point in the day (EST), depending on my schedule that day.

I really enjoyed Grendel Man's Message In a Bottle debut; blunt, funny and deliciously sarcastic. Bravo! |

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm happy to say that (after Laura's help) I've read through and love all the journals! My favorite segment is definitely the Message in a Bottle segment.

Well, week one is almost finished. I just want to say that everyone is doing an amazing job on their journals -- I'm so impressed! And the opinion column has been fantastic, Grendel Man. Thank you all for your hard work.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the temperatures in the weather forecast were getting a little wacky (jumping up to 80 degrees fahrenheit -- definitely not appropriate for the arctic). I think this should be fixed now, though.
The first two users will be removed from the island on Friday, January 4th, 2012 at 12:00pm EST (GMT -5).
I will try to post each week, in this thread, the time that users will be removed each Friday, so people can plan their votes accordingly. I will be on Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5) next Friday (January 11th) as well, but then for the rest of the game I will be on Korean Standard Time (GMT +9).
If anyone has any suggestions for contests, please post them in this thread or send me a private message. Thanks!
Contest 1 will be unveiled on Monday.
Good luck! And please remember to vote every day, and remind your CC.com friends to vote as well!

Week 1 Results
Sam999 and ratkinzluver33 have been voted off the island. They are currently boarding the official Survivor: Arctic ship and will be returned to their homes shortly.
Meanwhile, we had an excellent week of journal postings and events on the island, and Grendel Man did a great job of keeping us all up to date on the goings on of Survivor: Arctic. I think it's safe to say that everyone is looking forward to what Week 2 will hold.
Week 2 poll is now open. Good luck everyone.

Week 2 Results
lisha777 and Hawk have been voted off the island. They are currently boarding the official Survivor: Arctic airplane and will be back to their hometowns shortly.
Meanwhile, we had an interesting week of journal postings and events on the island, and Grendel Man kept us informed via the MIAB column (even though he was stuck in a cave for most of the week). However, the results of Contest #1 were quite disappointing.
The following users failed the contest by not posting a map of the island in their journals:
- mea
- Hawk
- Panda-mist
- Laura
- lisha777
The following users successfully passed the contest and posted a map of the island:
- c1anddsaddict
- Bearthing
- FlyingEttiNorn
Congratulations to c1anddsaddict, Bearthing and FlyingEttiNorn! They were the star players this week. The week 3 poll is now open. Good luck to the six remaining Survivors!

After being up for more than 24 hours, I was just too tired to dig out my scanner & get my half finished map into the computer in time for the contest. It will still make an appearance in the journal, but there will be in game reason for it's lateness when it is finally posted.
I'm not making excuses, just explaining why my mine missed the deadline. I was just too tired to care, & I also was working on a special survivor related surprise as well. Hopefully it will be ready to post within the next day or two. |

The other contestants are free to interact with Mahk Mako should they happen to see him. He is a character in his own right, as the cave subplot showed. Though, I feel like I'm violating some sort of taboo by getting this involved....
And on a related note, I do have some sort of backstory for him planned, but I probably won't reveal it until the last week of Survivor. I'm not certain if I just have him tell it in the final MIAB update, or have him tell it to the final survivors.

I've written my entry, and Mahk Mako is free from the tunnels! It was fun interacting with him.

Thanks, that's one of the things that distracted me from map drawing. It locked my computer up for several hours while rendering it. I couldn't do anything else on my computer while the renders were running. |

It's so quiet recently.... I wonder when people will start posting again.... or if I scared everyone away by posting too much.... It's not the first time it's seemed like that has happened.... |

Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but on my end, it's burn-out, pure and simple. I like Bearthing-the-norn's posts to be funny -- from a Creatures perspective -- and that takes a lot of brainpower than just having her running around going rah rah rah.
Still have a lot of ideas, though. And I kind-of apologize to everyone for jacking the storyline and pretty much making Survivor, uh, something else. I simply wanted to entertain, tell a story, and do things somewhat differently. We can pretend it was all a dream when it's over, perhaps...

I'm kind of stuck now too. I'm not sure what to do next, and I don't want to play as Bearthing the norn, cause that's Bearthing's character. So I'm unsure whether I should pretend Bearthing is just walking somewhere with me, or what.

I hope so too! I've written a short entry for now of getting back to our shelter, and hopefully this polar bear contest will give us some ideas!

Maybe someone will see Borgetta/Mea moving her friends to the new campsite. I really hope the move will get them posting again...
Oh... also.... if things remain as quiet as they have been, I just might have a few borg norns arrive to chase Mea/Borgetta around the island.... That makes me wonder if the other contestants might get assimilated by the borg? |
