    And with that, @NAVIDAD PIRATE and @big succ d, you are both out of the Big Brother game! Don't fret though, as you still get a Jury stipend. All I need both of you to do is send me your email (even if you've already done so) so I can send you the stipend when my next paycheck comes in. You'll have responsibilities as a jury member as well, so please keep your eyes open.

    Also, I'd like to say congratulations to our Top 5 -- @DracoNova @EvilDingoRobot @Hurricane @Jethalal and @Atli! Without taking into account competition prowess and HOH cooldown, all of you at this point now have a 20% chance of winning the game, so congratulations. We're just over 3 weeks away from the end, look alive!

    HOH #14 -- Three's A Crowd!
    For this HOH, the three eligible competitors (@Jethalal, @DracoNova, and @Hurricane) will play each other (so two total battles) in SM OU Singles battles. Originally, this was going to be Triples to more readily work in the number 3, but since that's not going to be available, Pokemon used must have the number 3 in their Pokedex #. Examples of eligible Pokemon include Venusaur (#3), Vulpix (#37), Persian (#53), Electrike (#309; #heilhoenn for this challenge), Throh (#538), and Avalugg (#713). In order to win this challenge, you simply need to win both your battles. If the battles end up as a 1-1 tie, what we'll do is look at remaining percentages on each Pokemon (combined for two battles) followed by remaining Pokemon (again, combined) should that tie for some reason, then go to POV #13. So what I need you three to do is submit logs for both battles (Pokemon switch screen is massively appreciated, grabs me everything I need) as well as your two nominees should you win HOH. Seems simple enough, right? Because it is!

    HOH #14 ends February 26th @ 11:59PM CST (GMT -6), or earlier depending on when you guys get your stuff done. Best of luck, and again congrats and making Top 5.

    Tagging @Atli and @EvilDingoRobot for notification purposes, as well as @HSOWA because he still needs to complete our Jury conversation.

    EDIT: Tables updated... man that's a pain in the ass to do now.​

    Correction: Samphire came up with the idea, that I pitched to Joey. He misunderstood what I meant twice before finally agreeing to the idea.

    what

    so theres not even voting

    o k

    wow i am glad i was put in a position where i could save myself from losing especially since i beat jethalal

    jethalal shouldnt be able to vote out 2 people by himself, thats non-canon

    POV winner never gets to evict anyone until final 4

    but whatever youre a stubborn brick wall that never listens to anyone except oak

    I can't really help with this one though, I dunno how American BB works.

    I did point out that odds were super against you earlier though.

    i didnt tthink he would actually make up his own stupid rules
    why is there double eviction at 6 people left
    18:24:45) Sauce Castillo: 1. i literally could do nothing since he didnt let me participate
    (18:24:53) Sauce Castillo: 2. thers no double eviction at 6 players
    (18:25:09) Sauce Castillo: 3. winners of pov dont get to evict someone by themselves until 4 people left
    (18:25:25) Hackmons CC 1v1 battle between Diamondslight and [Goddess] Lily started.
    (18:25:50) Sauce Castillo: 4. even if he did make this double eviction ,draconova didnt get a vote
    (18:25:51) Diamondslight forfeited against [Goddess] Lily.
    (18:25:57) Sauce Castillo: 5. thats still a bs mechanic

    shoutouts @diamondslight

    (18:21:35) Cash Me Outside: no one in the history of the game of big borther
    (18:21:41) Cash Me Outside: has ever been able to evict two people
    (18:21:42) Cash Me Outside: in one vote
    (18:21:47) Cash Me Outside: e v e r
    (18:21:53) Cash Me Outside: and it's been like 18 seasons?

    When it said I was mentioned here I was not expecting it to be because I lost to someone in a battle .-.

    Also to the post above no one has ever have the power to evict two people but I'm assuming Joeypals did it as a way to get multiple double evictions in on this game like the US version which in my opinion was did a little too late.

    The thing is there's usually a double eviction to get it down to 6/5. The issue here, I feel, is that I did it at the latet possible point. You gotta remember this isn't live, and the only way to simulate double evictions is by having 2 HOHs and thus 4 nominees. With this number set-up that leaves just one person to vote.

    (Also there was 7 left, not 6)

    Calling someone a brick wall who isn't a brick wall isn't how you go about trying to argue for your point of view btw, makes the decision unlikely to go in your favor.

    Also, I wanna point out we had a double eviction a month ago. If you complained then too, things would be valid, but you didn't, so as far as I can see it's too much too late.

    Please send your email to me so we can talk about your Jury responsibilities.

    EDIT: You didn't beat Jethalal, or anyone for that matter. You didn't submit answers because you weren't in the comp.

    I believe Joey was referring exclusively to the POV competition. With regards to that, you didn't participate, and thus could not beat him to save yourself.

    Beating him in the HOH challenge but not winning the overall HOH competition would only allow you to break a tie between the two of you in a future competition.

    I deleted it, because it was still unapproved so only Jalmont and a select few moderators could see it, and everyone else has just been discussing Big Brother in this topic anyway, so what's the bloody point so close to the end?

    imo this just proves the game is rigged and AMERICA deserves a % of the vote - and jeth should get 0 of the vote

    who else is pissed

    I'm gonna extend the deadline by 24 hours. Somehow, even with an extra day for the challenge, one battle out of the four three that need to be had have been finished, and on top of that no one in that set sent in their nominations should they win HOH. I guess it's a consequence of me going "just lay off for a bit, they should be able to get it done", so putting the iron gloves back on.

    @Hurricane @DracoNova @Jethalal @EvilDingoRobot @Atli

    HOH #14 now ends February 27th, 11:59PM CST (GMT -6).

    Oh, another announcement, this one about Jury Stipends.

    You must complete the Jury Stipend conversation with me. As both @Romantic_Guy and @HSOWA know, the convo works like this -- email, I explain responsibilities, you complete the responsibility due immediately, I ask you to keep up with the game for your later roles. It's not that difficult. However, I'm kind of tired of dogging A CERTAIN TWO JURORS on the server about it only to get no response.

    So, starting now, your Jury Stipend conversation must be completed within a week of you getting evicted. @NAVIDAD PIRATE and @big succ d, since this rule was enacted after your eviction but before the next week, you have a full week starting from this post. When we're down to 4 next week, I'll be PMing everyone their potential Jury responsibility so that it's taken care of. That must be taken care of by the eviction post for that week. FAILURE TO COMPLETE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY WILL RESULT IN YOUR JURY SEAT BEING TAKEN BY OTHERS, INCLUDING STIPEND. This trail starts at @Khaloss and @ajhockeystar, and going backwards from there.

    If you have any questions, let me know.

    @Atli @Hurricane @Jethalal @DracoNova @EvilDingoRobot

    DISCLAIMER: I had quite a few questions before making this post but Joey left mid-PM and he isn't on the forums either, so a lot of this stuff is most likely wrong and will need to be fixed or is incomplete and the post will need editing. (Trust me, you'll see.) Have fun with this @Joeypals!! In that case, you might just want to ignore this post until it has been edited etc. and Joey makes a post specifically saying everything has been fixed.
    I'm very impatient and the deadline was supposed to be within the next 3 or so hours of me making this post anyways.

    HOH #14 Results
    This week's HOH challenge featured three people playing against each other in SM OU Singles (so each person played two matches) with the condition that all pokemon used needed to have a 3 in their dex number. While this simple challenge did take a bit longer than expected, all matches eventually got done. Draco went 2-0, Hurricane went 1-1, and Jethalal went 0-2, which makes @DracoNova this week's HOH! For winning this challenge, Draco receives a $5 Amazon gift card and Safari rewards of $7000 and 3 Eggs, and he has decided to nominate @Atli and @Hurricane for eviction!



    POV #14
    This week's POV challenge will be more even more riddles! Similar to last week's POV, this will be an elimination style challenge. Everyone will answer each riddle as best as they can; if you get one wrong, you're eliminated, and the last one standing will win the POV. Everyone will be playing in this POV and will all need to send their answers to Joey and I. When sending your answers, be sure to mention who you want to use the POV on (if at all) should you win. Draco, you'll need to also send in a replacement nominee in case either of the original two nominees are saved. (Okay, I think I covered everything.) Without further ado, here are your riddles!

    1. Nine saints coalesced into one, grabbing a tail would be dire; despite not being an author, it has its own song of ice and fire.
    2. Useless in Super Smash Brothers and always subjected to scorn, it’s one of the few non-Bug types with access to Megahorn.
    3. A ritual to summon the sun, its dance is the solution; yet it’s smaller and lighter than its pre-evolution.
    4. Usually found in a pack, fighting-type attacks are its bane; keep your distance from this mon, its toxic flames cause eternal pain.
    5. Appearing in Melee, designed as a space aide; not even in its final form, it’s still an upgrade.
    6. It can fly in any direction regardless of distance, but one of its weaknesses used to be a resistance.
    7. It does not breathe or move an inch while floating in the air; your soul will become stolen if into its back you stare. (Just pretend Yoda said this or something.)
    8. Merciless while together, but timid while alone, attacking and sinking boats is what made this pokemon known.
    9. It believes it can fly, it believes it can touch the sky; it tries to do it every night and day, but falls to the ground in dismay.
    10. Calm, quiet, peaceful, and sleeping are how people could describe me until some dumbass used a Blue Orb and sent me into a frenzy.
    This riddle was determined to be bad because the answer to this actually changes depending on whether I'm referring to RSE or ORAS. This is most likely going to be a throwaway/free one, but I'm just curious as to what people put. The way I worded this riddle was supposed to be a very small giveaway as to whether or not this was RSE or ORAS, but I doubt it will be noticed. I'll explain the reason for the "correct" answer to this one after the challenge is over.
    11. Found in Reversal Mountain and Giant Chasm, they carry pokemon and people when they fly; but at a moment’s notice, they can inexplicably disappear from the evening sky.
    12. A device overflowing with data was used on me so I’d change; they hoped it was for the better, but now I only act strange.
    13. It might be a plant pokemon, but it absolutely loves the arid dry desert; its song and dance scare away bird pokemon so its flower seeds remain unhurt.
    14. I love unsanitary places, the trash fills me with glee; I just wish these damn Grimer would stop chasing after me.
    15. My web is what blocks the entrance to Chargestone Cave, try getting through the EleSpider’s web if you’re that brave.
    16. Mario isn’t the one that destroys castles hoping Peach will be free; credit for all of that work actually belongs to me.
    17. A bottle has sealed away my powers and weakened my rings, but once I find it, I will be able to seize all things.
    18. My home is deep in the jungle where you can find almost anything, and I sometimes leave home to match wits against Slowking.
    19. My clanging scales can fight off any pokemon in any season; besides, I’m a powerful totem pokemon for a reason.
    20. My luxurious decoration is of what that girl was fond; even though I understand human speech, I can’t respond.

    As you may have noticed, each riddle rhymes (somewhat)! Since I made these riddles, I'm hoping they will be fairly easy, but if something seems vague or misleading, simply let me know and I'll try to explain it without giving away the answer or a hint.

    This POV challenge ends March 1st, 11:59 PM CST (GMT -6). Best of luck!

    Bolded part 1: @DracoNova receives $5 for Amazon as well as, for Safari, $7000 and 3 Eggs.

    Bolded part 2: Because only 5 people remain, EVERYONE plays this POV. That includes HOH @DracoNova, who also needs to send his replacement nominee in with his answers should the Veto be used (prioritize EDR vs Jeth), the nominees @Atli and @Hurricane, and the two other players @EvilDingoRobot and @Jethalal.

    Bolded part 3: This challenge ends March 1st @11:59PM CST (GMT -6).

    Doing tags on phone is terrible.

    EDIT: We never talked about the elimination style, but it's a change of pace for this challenge type. I like it.

    Cheeze didn't get to play because every POV has 6 players, and with last week being a double eviction, the 2 HOHs and 4 nominees made up that 6. At present, we have a total 5 people, therefore everyone is able to play.

    EDIT: Edited the tables in the OP.

    EDIT2: I have a new alt -- Alessia Cara.

    POV #14 will go up slightly late, having to do math homework and then psychology homework, and Jesus Christ this shit just never fucking stops. Homework comes first.

    Regardless, challenge ends in 59 minutes.

    We never got any extensions because of homework though or other real life situations. The only thing you gave us was 1 day extra for christmas.
    Not complaining just saying

    Actually, I've given a couple. Just in a lazy search, I found multiple instances where I gave extensions for people not doing the challenge on-time (HOH #14 comes to mind), times where I was going to extend but got convinced otherwise (Eviction #8), and times where I deliberate made HOHs or POVs 3 or 4 days long. It may not have been direct IRL reasons, but extensions have been given regardless. To counter-point your point, it's hard to give extensions when no one specifically says "Hey I need to do X, Y, Z, and Turtle irl, can I please get an extension". I have ESP but I'm certainly no psychic.

    Now, anyway, onto the results.

    POV #14 RESULTS

    Talk about a pivotal challenge! For your challenge here, you were tasked with answering 20 Pokemon riddles the best you can. I forget if this is the 4th or 5th time we've done this one, but we all know how it works. I'll say this in advance, I MADE ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE RIDDLES! As such I know none of the reasoning. (and before someone goes "J'ACCUSE!", yes these were pre-approved). Also, NUMBER 10 WILL NOT BE COUNTED. This is mainly due to @Fate Testarossa fucking up and forgetting to specify which game it belonged in because the orbs were flipped in the remakes (answer was Groudon though). Our participants in this challenge our actually decided to turn shit in are @Jethalal, @Hurricane, and @Atli. @EvilDingoRobot turned in his answers almost 6 hours late (SOL), and @DracoNova never gave answers despite being prompted to multiple times but don't worry, he did give his 2-man priority list for renoms. Also, just like the True and False challenge, this is in elimination format. Without further ado, let's begin.

    1. Nine saints coalesced into one, grabbing a tail would be dire; despite not being an author, it has its own song of ice and fire. The correct answer is... Ninetales! Everyone got it right, onto Question 2.
    2. Useless in Super Smash Brothers and always subjected to scorn, it’s one of the few non-Bug types with access to Megahorn. The correct answer is... Goldeen! Everyone got it right, onto Question 3.
    3. A ritual to summon the sun, its dance is the solution; yet it’s smaller and lighter than its pre-evolution. The correct answer is... Bellosssom! Everyone got it right, onto Question 4.
    4. Usually found in a pack, fighting-type attacks are its bane; keep your distance from this mon, its toxic flames cause eternal pain. The correct answer is... Houndoom! Everyone got it right, onto Question 5.
    5. Appearing in Melee, designed as a space aide; not even in its final form, it’s still an upgrade. The correct answer is... Porygon2! Everyone got it right, onto Question 6.
    6. It can fly in any direction regardless of distance, but one of its weaknesses used to be a resistance. The correct answer is... Masquerain! Everyone got it right, onto Question 7.
    7. It does not breathe or move an inch while floating in the air; your soul will become stolen if into its back you stare. (Just pretend Yoda said this or something.) The correct answer is... Shedinja! Everyone got it right, onto Question 8.
    8. Merciless while together, but timid while alone, attacking and sinking boats is what made this pokemon known. The correct answer is... Carvanha! Everyone got it right, onto Question 9.
    9. It believes it can fly, it believes it can touch the sky; it tries to do it every night and day, but falls to the ground in dismay. The correct answer is... Bagon! Everyone got it right, onto Question 10 11.
    10. Calm, quiet, peaceful, and sleeping are how people could describe me until some dumbass used a Blue Orb and sent me into a frenzy. Correct answer here, again, is Groudon but Fate messed it up because of generation swap. If we did keep this one in, Hurricane and Jethalal would have both been eliminated and Atli would have won POV.
    11. Found in Reversal Mountain and Giant Chasm, they carry pokemon and people when they fly; but at a moment’s notice, they can inexplicably disappear from the evening sky. The correct answer is... Drifblim! Everyone got it right, onto Question 12.
    12. A device overflowing with data was used on me so I’d change; they hoped it was for the better, but now I only act strange. The correct answer is... Porygon-Z! Everyone got it right, onto Question 13.
    13. It might be a plant pokemon, but it absolutely loves the arid dry desert; its song and dance scare away bird pokemon so its flower seeds remain unhurt. The correct answer is... Maractus! Everyone got it right, onto Question 14.
    14. I love unsanitary places, the trash fills me with glee; I just wish these damn Grimer would stop chasing after me. The correct answer is... Trubbish! Everyone got it right, onto Question 15.
    15. My web is what blocks the entrance to Chargestone Cave, try getting through the EleSpider’s web if you’re that brave. The correct answer is... Galvantula! Everyone got it right, onto Question 16.
    16. Mario isn’t the one that destroys castles hoping Peach will be free; credit for all of that work actually belongs to me. The correct answer is... Terrakion! (wrong answers were Foongus and Palossand) Atli and Jethalal got it wrong, which means HURRICANE WINS POV #14! Allow me to run through the rest of the answers.
    17. A bottle has sealed away my powers and weakened my rings, but once I find it, I will be able to seize all things. Correct answer: Hoopa. 3/3
    18. My home is deep in the jungle where you can find almost anything, and I sometimes leave home to match wits against Slowking. Correct answer: Oranguru. 1/3 (Atli and Jeth got it wrong. Atli said Politoed, Jeth said Slowbro)
    19. My clanging scales can fight off any pokemon in any season; besides, I’m a powerful totem pokemon for a reason. Correct answer: Kommo-o. 3/3
    20. My luxurious decoration is of what that girl was fond; even though I understand human speech, I can’t respond. Correct answer: Magearna. 0/3. (Hurricane and Jethalal both said Lapras, Atli said Darkrai).

    In case anyone might be wondering how EDR would have placed, he was out Question 3. He also got 4-10, 12-14, 16-18, and 20 wrong as well.

    As stated, Hurricane is the winner of this challenge! For winning POV #14, Hurricane will receive $5 for Amazon following getting my paycheck tomorrow, as well as, for Safari, $7000 and 3 Eggs. Of course, he [Hurricane] decided to save himself, and DracoNova has chosen Jethalal as the replacement nominee.

    And so, the stage is set.

    HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD -- @DracoNova. You will only vote in the event of a tie. Please cast your tiebreaker vote to both @Fate Testarossa and I with any reasoning you would like to include.
    NOMINEES -- @Atli and @Jethalal. You two are unable to do anything, sit patiently.
    VOTERS -- @Hurricane and @EvilDingoRobot. You two must submit your vote to both Fate and I. Options, again, are Atli and Jethalal.

    I know I'm over 12 hours late posting this, but lbr, there's only 2-3 votes this phase, therefore there's no need for a time extension. Eviction #14 will end March 3rd @ 11:59PM CST (GMT -6). Best of luck.

    EDIT: Table in the OP has been edited.
