Vote: Postpone.  It's best we have a productive, awesome game a month later than a lame, spammy game a month earlier.

Vote: POSTPONE

it would be really hectic having multiple events at once, and after that things will slow down alot and we'd have less to do. best to balance it out

I vote to postpone it until after the TdV.

April isn't going to be the best month for me, anyway. Like MMM, I have college-related things (including several-day visits).

Plus, I'd like to stay slightly active in the TdV. I have a lingering feeling that it's a lack of quality posters that makes the competition what it is reputed to be. It was rough, but I managed to show that the competition can be won without spam last January. Perhaps pulling off another strong performance will encourage more quality posters to participate.

As one of the only other people to win without spamming...

No. It won't convince quality posters to post again.

Get rid of ALL the spammers, and maybe they'll care again.

Vote: Postpone

Barathemos :

Maybe you should have read the post.

Special Events: Signups closed. Now we debate whether to wait till May, to avoid the TDV

I'll be returning your Viz.

legacyme3 :

Point taken.

Is it too naive to think that reports will solve the problem?

EideticMemory :

Doesn't change anything.

The mods' idea of spam is evidently different from mine.

To be honest I don't think postponing it isn't going to do much.

It doesn't really matter when the RP starts we're probably still going to get a post saying "CAN I jOin Or IS It t0 laTe???".

I feel like postponing it will only stop a few of those posts. Also keep in mind that the Stories/Simulation/Art section rarely ever gets that many posts (or at least the I've seen).

But seeing as how majourity of the players are deciding to postpone I doubt this vote will make much different. But I do get where you're coming from, I never really wad a fan of any type of posting competition. Only 20% of it isn't spam.

Blubcreator :

Truth be told, I'm not worried at all about my thread getting spammed, or users in the game spamming. I think the players will police themselves and get rid of anyone who is annoying.

The problem is that there are several players in this game with a known history of being less active during the TDV. If we want this game to be the most fun it can be, we need activity.

So I'm just asking everyone when they will be more active, now or one month from now when spam is a million times less likely.

I guess I can see where your coming from. Looking at the players we have I can see that a lot of people would be quite pre occupied with the TDV.

I doesn't really effect me as much but I'll vote to postpone anyways. It's most likely for the best anyways. I got nothing going on these few months either ways.

Fallman7 :

To put it another way, my own vote is to postpone.

Because as the host, I think that the TDV is going to kill my interest in the game for the month.

Had I known ahead of time that next month was the TDV, I would not have opened this thread. I would have waited until next month to start signups.

I'd still host if we got an overwhelming majority to vote to not postpone, but as it stands, the ratio is like 13-3. And of those 3, one actually removed their vote, and one could flip like that.

You'd literally have to convince 7 of the people below who have voted yes, for me to change my mind. It is impossible for "No" to take the lead otherwise. So, as it stands, Vizzed Survivor: Kanashi Shima is on wait until May 1st.

You are all being summoned to be reminded that Vizzed Survivor: Kanashi Shima will be starting in about a week.

The below are instructions to make sure the game starts smoothly.

1. On May 1st, the game thread will be made. Note: THIS IS NOT THE GAME THREAD
2. The competitions have been laid out. I have 10-13 competitions planned, with more on the way if time permits, and everyone participates. If everyone participates, everyone will have fun.
3. In the game thread, you will be sorted onto one of two tribes of 9. The names of these two tribes are Kengen and Hokori. You will have no say in which tribe you are on. You will not find out which tribe you are on UNTIL May 1st.
4. There will be no inactivity DQs, however, I fully expect everyone wants to have fun. My best advice is if you wish to survive and ultimately win, to participate. If you don't, people could choose to get rid of you, simply to make sure someone deserving wins.
5. There will be no cabin/tribe threads like there was at Vizzed Summer Camp two years ago. That was an error in judgement. All talk is to be handled in private or the game thread. My recommendation is that all talk of who to vote out be conducted in private.
6. I am not going to tolerate spam however. The game thread is to be restricted to players still in the game UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. Do not spam the game thread with anything that doesn't have anything to do with the game.
7. No baby butthurts, no complaining. If voted out, you are to leave immediately, no cursing, crying, whining, or otherwise.

I'm sorry for rambling on, and saying a lot of things that are common sense, but if there's anything I've learned from hosting games, you can never ever go over the rules too much.

One week until drop off, and one week until you are all pitted against each other for 2-3 months.

Say goodbye to your family and friends, as the island is a lonely place.

I have no family to say goodbye to. They all got killed in Innocent Town....
