Well of course you'd say that, Katie, you're a vegan

I just really don't like fast food.

I don't like vegan options at fast food places either. It just doesn't seem trustworthy. Food that can be 'made' that quickly is not something we should have. Just my thoughts

I understand your perspective. Some days I feel like eating fruits and veggies and wAter.

Then some days I want Panda Express, Wendy's, and in & out

I cried. I'm gonna miss you Zune.
Why did I get all happy teary eyed when you said Matty?




I'm sorry about the delay when it comes to updates on the judges comments and the eliminations. I know it can be frustrating for everyone, me included. I have deadlines and I want them to follow, but judging is an important aspect to seeing who is eliminated. I'd rather have comments from all the judges than just a couple. Also, the more opinions/rankings from the judges, the better feel I have on who should be eliminated. With the said, I normally update with comments and rankings when I get at least 4 of the 5 judges comments. It also helps cut down with the sampling error (as a Statistics major you know about sampling error, right Zune) when I have 4/5 or all judges comments and rankings. There will obviously still be a lot more sampling error since it's 5 against a community of thousands of members.

My essay is going on forever, but since I like to wait for the judges comments and rankings it does cause for the updates to be later than what they should. Ultimately, we all have lives and I completely understand that ATRL is not first priority. Especially when it's about an online game. I'm always happy to give extra time when needed if you ask in advance before the deadline so then I can announce it for everyone else. That goes for both judges and you guys.

I apologize for making you wait that one elimination when you stayed on campus just to wait for the results. I had no idea. I too have a long distance, about a half hour shorter than you, from where my university is and where I actually live. I get the distance and that is pain. My class ended at 7 tonight but I didn't get home til close to 8, that's why it took so long for the elimination. Then when I got home, I ate because I was starving, but that's beyond the point. I posted the judges comments actually during class because I knew you guys wanted it and I didn't want to make you wait even longer.

All in all, I apologize for the not on time judging and eliminations. We'll try to work on that, but we are human. We make mistakes and we have lives. Most of the judges have full time jobs and/or are in school getting their masters/bachelors/associates. Same with some of you.

Edit: Damn this was long I'm sorry about that too

Omg no, that was not shade I promise that. I've been craving McDonald's for 2 weeks, and bought it in celebration, not to diss. Since I thought the result were last night. I should have let it go seeing this was my first act of real shade . Haha

I'm just joking with you

I hate clowns though... even though I do look like Ronald McDonald's 3rd cousin

"but it's sooooo good"

I apologize if I've been too impatient when it comes to waiting for results or hints. Sometimes I forget that everyone doesn't have as much free time as I have.

I need some vegan recipes from you

[ethan]

As someone who has hosted a hit tournament before, I know how you feel being pressured to rush, Matty. I think this tournament actually moves at a pretty good pace, I don't think we have had a day where there has just been no news or anything all day. You do what you can life > ATRL

I don't think it tastes that good. There are some dishes that are bad for us that I do totally crave but I find healthier ways to satisfy it. I guess I'm just more used to telling my body 'no.'

No, I totally agree, that's why I put it in quotes; I'm saying that's the rationale that people use. It tastes good and is quick, and that's why people buy it. I haven't eaten fast food aside from the occasional Chick-fil-A in a long time.

Now, Katie. I work at a fast food joint. What kind of diss?



Kidding, I never eat the gross sh*t we have to make

[EdgeOfAddiction]

Jesus. I can't keep up with all the different parts of the forum when there is a thread poppin off in Base and the Lounge.

But the underlying shade in zune's video was thick.

Sad to see you go but one piece of advice. Don't take the personalities on ATRL too personally. Unless you share certain values/artist/tastes, people are gonna be distant with you.

I need your mental state of mind. If I'm stopped on the road and near fast food restaurants and I'm starving... best believe I'm pulling over

I want something that is healthy, but doesn't skip on the flavor!
I hate healthy food that's bland, I need actual flavor.

This is sort of true - but I still see where he's coming from, I don't think it should be that way.

Look, it's not that we're like panicking at the fact you don't post, imo it just seems as though when I was in the competition the span of days for the challengers would have to complete a challenge versus the days for the judges to give their result would range between 1:2 or 2:3 in days.

I really just think it would be a nice conscious to provide a kind of date for the results, then at least we know what potentially could be the delay. But then again I'm not a judge or a host

I did want to shed some lifght on the fact we could during those between times be given like an "extra credit challenge" which could be something to take into consideration as a judge, but also let's us do something so this thread doesn't keep dying out. Those challenges could be more personal too so you can determine the overall package of being a top member. Just a suggestion.

Also Matty, there is nothing wrong with long post, believe me since I've had my fair share of longer posts, just as long as you got someone like me reading them.

One other thing, when you brought up the mcdonlads thing, no joke, I thought you were referring to Rihanna, no you lolol

True true, i see where your going with that. I wish people would love Rebecca Ferguson more, Will Young, maybe Girls Aloud, but the first 2 esspecially

I just watched the video. The shade is thick.

There was some heavy shade towards Matty and me. Also towards a few competitors. But maybe it wasn't intentional.
