I think that Naruto was a victim of the format here really. He was by no means the weakest and should have gone further... but he just ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could happen to any one of us.

Clean slate George? If we're on the same team again I don't want it to hinder our team winning.

Clean slate, Eliza. Although I do think maybe it would be better for you and I to discuss this properly. You have my email address, or you can message me on here. I think you misunderstand what I'm all about sometimes, because I genuinely was not trying to find fault with Jack's edits for the sake of finding fault.

Hey guys

I think we need to talk about MSN, because for me it's not working the way that it is. I had to communicate with David a lot via Skype over the last task, because I couldn't get Adium to work. Zak and Gav have successfully added themselves to my contacts, but no one else has, and I can't work out how to add people either. (I have added lots of people, but they don't seem to be added to me contacts - nor have any of the people who have added me, minus Zak and Gav.)

I'm just worried that I might not be able to perform to the best of my ability if I can't take part in group chats. For the next task, and especially if I decide to volunteer to be PM (which I may or may not do, it depends what the task is) I need to be able to communicate with everyone.

I'm slightly late to the party here but I agree with you. Reading the 2 threads it seems like Magic Middles had more thought put into it than OrBitz.

Looking forward to viewing the next task

I won't be able to access the computer at 5 today because of work.

Does anyone know how to get msn on an iPhone? Ebuddy doesn't seem to work.

eBuddy works for me, but group chats rarely do.

Time to reveal your second task.

Firstly, teams will be staying the same for this task.

Considering the serious lack of creativity shown on the last task, I've decided another creativity task is in order.

Board games are a fun past time that began over a century ago and today we have our classic, well-loved board games that everyone knows, such as Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders and Cluedo. However, in recent years, there has been a decline in interest for board games as video gaming takes over. The aim of this task is to create a board game that you feel would rejuvinate the board game industry and grab the interest of people. The game must not be in association with any film, TV show or book. The game must be ORIGINAL and INNOVATIVE. Candidates must show an understanding of the market.

1) Name your board game.

2) Write a pitch explaining how your board game fits into this market and what age groups you expect it to appeal to.

3) Explain the rules of this boardgame in detail.

4) Give a written description of how the board will look, or you may design it and show the picture if you wish.

5) Write an evaluation of the inspiration behind your idea.

You have until THURSDAY at 7PM to post your work. The Boardroom will take place shortly after. I will be judging this task and I am looking for a vast improvement from last time.

Zak will be following Helios and Gav will be following Harmonia. Once the PMs for this task are decided, please post them in this thread.

After this task there will be a break for a few days, as some candidates are away.

That's all for now.

Thanks Thomas

Thought it may have been a close result, but after last week I really wasn't expecting the win

Yeah I think Justin may be in the firing line, wonder who she brings back?
