Re: Season 2 Official Thread

Post by Madelene Gilbert »

It's a toss up for me for strongest threat: Nan or Gigi. Nan had a rocky start but has really gotten into the game during the final stretch. I can see her pulling out all the stops for the final challenge. Gigi has been middle of the field the whole competition and has seen some battle rounds so far, but now that we're down to the final five she's definitely showing she's got the wit, creativity and drive to win it all.

Weakest threat is Clinton. He was a great teammate and actually got the Zosimos team through a challenge on his own, but he's beginning to lag at this point. It might be the time constraint or lack of enthusiasm, but I don't think his "quite good" is good enough for the finals.

My 12 hour work is really hindering me right now with these fast acting challenges. I can't get on the sim at work. The prison blocks everything but google search and yahoo search engines. It is the one kink in my armor.

I think Maddy is the biggest risk, although Nan is a great writer and shows necessary sparkle and creativity whenever a challenge demands it. Maddy though is clever, always on top of her game, but also assertive and quite ready to do what it takes to win. I see lots of simvivor bucks in her future.

Weakest at this point? Has to be Gigi. Let's face it, she had it in her sights last time but let it slip through her fingers (if I may mix metaphors). Clearly distracted by a stable full of underperforming horses and still scarred by guilt for the role she played in Skippy's shower video, she's unlikely to keep her focus until the end.

I would have to say that Maddy is probably the strongest with Iggy right behind her closely. Maddy has the creativity and determination to succeed, but so does everyone else that is left. I do hope that she doesn't underestimate any of the challengers left on the field. She seems to be focused and always online at the right time and does perform well in challenges.

The weakest would have to be Myself. It isn't the motivation and it isn't lack of focus, but more of wear and tear. I've been working more hours because of short staff at work and it is taking it's toll on me. I am quite tired most of the time I get home. Short sleep and long hours at works makes for a very pathetic simvivor challenger.

So...what would I do with S$1.25 million? Good question.

There would, of course, be a foray into much-needed recreation.

Image
Image
Image
Image

But soon, it would be time to settle down to business. My first responsibility would probably be upgrading my barn. Since my current facilities look something like this...

Image

...it would be nice to have something a little more respectable.

Then, of course, I would have to try to breed a horse for the ages. This would naturally require getting a nice mare. Since we're still daydreaming here, I would petition, beg, and wheedle the Steward to sell me one.

Image

Then, I would breed her to a nice stallion.

Image

I think the baby from that would be pretty.

Image

Remember, we're thinking big. So going to Louisville Downs would be my goal.

Image

This would, of course, require investing in a tasteful hat.

Image

Note that I don't specify whether the baby would be male or female. It would still go there. It would be that good.

It would also be good enough to go to Steward's Cup and wear a purple saddlecloth once a year.

Image

But we're not done, yet. After I had proven everything I could on the flat, it would be time to go steeplechasin'.

Image

"But those grays aren't wearing your colors, Nan!" you're exclaiming. Well, that's right, because I don't own those grays. MY gray is a few lengths ahead of them out of the picture. That's how much it would own.

Eventually, though, it would be time to retire. After producing at least halves of dozens of babies to carry on its legacy, my champion would become the lynchpin of my final goal, a charity pony club that would teach needy orphan children love of the sport of kings, and of horses in general.

Image

So, you see, that's really why I'm doing SIMvivor. For the children.

Image

And the money. The sweet, sweet money.

Image

And just to prove I'm serious...
