"I quit." said Galacta.

"Well s***. Awful fine timing. Hope you realize your score of 0 still counts for the team average." said Leggy

"Wait, what? Noooo." said everyone on Kengen.

"Yeah, you didn't think it would be that easy to stop the competition did you?" he replied back.

Silence.

"I'd tell you the tribe has spoken, but you actually spoke, not the tribe. Get off the island."

And just like that, Galacta was airlifted out of the game. Seventh person out.

-----

"Oh, by the way, time. The challenge is now over."

Everyone stepped away.

"I hate to say this, because I feel like I say it every week, but participation is kind of important in this contest. Kengen scored 112,324,811.429 on average between their 7 players. Hokori scored an average of 115,105,335 between 6 of their players."

Everyone was in total shock.

"That's right, Hokori has won, and Kengen will be making their first trip to Tribal Council. Congratulations would be in order, but Kengen really dropped the ball, having two zeroes."

With that, he concluded the challenge and sent both teams on their way. There were 13 to begin with, and now Kengen has not only lost Galacta... but they are about to get rid of another member. In a matter of minutes, they went from having the perfect position in this competition, to being on the outside looking in. They go from 7 to 5, and are now outnumbered.

Numbers may not be on their side, but it's too early to count anyone out. After tonight, there will be 11 players left.

-----
INSTRUCTIONS
Kengen - Tribal council. You will PM me the name of one person on your tribe that you wish to vote off. This person may not be Galacta, as he has already quit the game. Galacta also does not get a vote as he has already left the island.

Hokori - Nothing to do but chillax.

Oh, and your votes are due by 6/26/2014 at 10 PM EST. Same schneid as usual. You don't vote, it counts as a vote against yourself.

I'm really glad I improved my score from 56K to 126K today. If I didn't, we would've lost. Team Hokori forever. Lets use this win as an opportunity to take down Kengen for good.

#HokoriForever

sonicmcmuffin : And you kept telling me to give up :V

I'm surprised that we pulled this out of nowhere. Damn. Way to go, guys! #GoHokori

pacman1755 : There's only so much one person can do man.... I was expecting gal to at least post a score before he bailed.. 

Either way looks like This is Kengen's first defeat... Kudos to the other tribe

HOKORI!!!11!!111!11!!!

We had some losses and a rough start, but we're in the lead right now! Let's keep it up!

I hate to do this to everyone, because delays have been frequent this month (Hopefully not so in July) but I need to delay the update until tomorrow. I have all the votes, and I even have the video made (though not uploaded to my computer) and game for the next challenge chosen.

However, I just have too much to do tonight to reasonably update. So rather than put forth a tired, half assed update, I will put it off to tomorrow so I can give you a non-hurried, and quality update that you are used to.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Also, because I knew everyone was expecting the update today, I will at least give you this bone of knowledge, so you can plan your week or whatever. In all likelihood, the next challenge will end on July 2nd or 3rd.

CURSE YOU NBA DRAFT!

I actually have things I need to do, but rather than push the update back two whole days (I will not be home until Sunday evening at the earliest) I'll try and rush this one out. Sorry for the lowered quality, truly, but this month has been hectic as all get out.

-----

Blah Blah, here's your elimination video, blah blah blah.

-----

If you haven't watched the video, please don't, because it's the lowest quality one yet.

-----

"Damn it." one member of Kengen was heard saying once they returned to camp. "Not only did we lose KG, but Galacta quit on us. This is such a pain."

"Look at it this way, no more dead weight to carry."

"Yeah, sure, but dead weight may have been helpful, after all, we've got to be merging soon, right?"

"Merge?"

"Yeah, you never seen one before? It's basically like what happened to Kiga, but with the entirety of a tribe, rather than just two members."

"Oh, you think one is happening soon?"

"If there is one, it will be soon, we're down to 11 total players."

They waited by their mailbox all day, waiting for mail that would not come. The merge would not be today evidently.

They made their way to the location of their challenge, as per usual. legacyme3 was doing his usual shtick.

"... and your first look at the new Kengen tribe, KG voted out at Tribal Council."

The members of both tribes stared each other down. The players left were generally active. No more easy cuts. No more dead weight to carry. From here on out, the players were vulnerable.

"Today's challenge will be... Bubble Bobble

Rules
1. All runs must be done in high score mode.
2. You must submit your score to the game page.
3. All scores will be added together and then averaged, as one team has an extra member.
4. Your screenshot must look something like so.

5. There are no DQs, as the lowest possible score is 0. Don't participate, you get a 0. Don't get a 0.
6. Competition ends July 3rd 2014, at 10 PM ET.

Any questions or comments? No? Go.

Sweet, Bubble Bobble. That's a game that shouldn't be a big struggle. This might end up being a competition that might score pretty high.

May I just make it apparent on how much I actively dislike this game... Hopefully our team can step up this week.. 


I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE this game...

sonicmcmuffin : I love love love love this game.    I used to be pretty good at it, we'll see if I still have the magic.

omg i love this game.
I spent 5 hours playing it with my brother getting through all 100 levels
Omg I rlly love this game
HypeHypeHype

Also leggy, the quality of your video crashed my display driver. Thanks :V

yoshirulez! :

That sounds like a problem on your end, I can run it in almost every quality without any issues.

I am strongly considering ending this competition tomorrow at 10 PM EST, as opposed to July 3rd, as I will not be home on the 3rd (or 4th).

So you guys have two choices, since it's your competition.

I can either update tomorrow at 10 PM EST, or I can update on July 5th at 10 PM EST.

I vote for July 5th.  What say you, Kengen?  We're behind right now, and I only have a little over 80k right now.  If we have more time, we might be able to pull out a win.

You guys agree right?

Personally don't care on which day but either way I should improve the score I have currently even though I haven't submitted it yet.

The sooner the better, I'd say. We can progress the competition faster this way, I suppose.

pokemon x : If we lose, know it may well be on your head.  This team is important.  Unless you have a great score, we should strive to extend the date as much as possible, imo, or we will lose.  We can't afford to lose this round.  Our team is already small enuff az iz.
