Part of me wants to say he should have designed the game entirely in a way where google would be impossible, but that'd take fucking ages to work out logistically so I can't hold it against him. He chose trust over amending the rules and it hasn't worked, which is just depressing.

I didn't even know Reverse Image Searching existed before people used it in The Price Is Right!!!!

As much as I can't condone or support LR's googling, to be fair to the guy, I think he does raise a fair few valid points.

Back during Google War 1 with TPIR my own defense for using google for that was basically that it was impossible to police, so I assumed it wouldn't be policed at all. We'd all agreed not to use google, but I always felt that wouldn't be enough. I'd chosen to refrain from it and just thought that I'd rather go out while playing honestly than win through googling when we said we wouldn't... but I knew it wouldn't be the same for everybody, and there have been plenty of points since where it's looked like people have googled.

LR admitted to it, but I don't think for a second that he's the only one who's done it. Ok, so he was in a spot where it was obvious so we could wonder what'd have happened had it not been so blatant, but the fact remains that I still think people are sat there right now knowing that they are just as guilty.

I feel sorry for James on the matter as it's something that he can't really do much about. Part of me wants to say he should have designed the game entirely in a way where google would be impossible, but that'd take fucking ages to work out logistically so I can't hold it against him. He chose trust over amending the rules and it hasn't worked, which is just depressing.

So moving forward... well, we could say lets not use google and hope that things are different now, but I don't think it'll change things. We'll just have to move on and if people want to win a forum game through cheating and while completely disrespecting not just James, but all of the other players who have put a lot of time into this game, be it on their head. But as I said, I'd rather be eliminated while trying to play the right way.

Regarding the game...

Well done Lemons, hard luck 5 guys. It is sad to lose you guys as you've all made a valuable and brilliantly entertaining contribution to the game (googling aside ;)).

EW to having to share the top spot though. That ain't the J5 way.

I think the basic message is that I just want to see honesty and fairness. So you're right, if we (or anybody) lose a life in a way that seems completely unjustified, you're damn right I'm gonna be unhappy about it.

Thanks Rammy for putting the effort into this marathon, I've thoroughly enjoyed it! :D

Think I'll start on Sheep later in the week, that looks fun also! :)

I also want to thank Rammy again for the effort he's put into this. Jokes aside, I am actually hurting quite a lot tonight because I feel quite close to a few people on this forum, particularly people who have played in games I've hosted and games I've played in. So it does feel shit if this has caused fall outs with people. I was hoping to run future seasons of Survivor on here. If you look/remember back through the thread you will see that I defended J5 when people were getting on their backs during the price is right. I honestly followed the 'no googling' thing up until it became obvious that it had gone out the window. At that point it would have been better to abstain from playing rather than cheat but I didn't want to have what I thought would seem like a 'toys out the pram' moment. So I thought you know, don't get mad, fight on instead. I had a bit of a rant earlier because I found it rich that people who have also been googling were getting on their high horses and hurling shit at me. If you look back through thread you'll find I didn't say shit or accuse anyone when they were coming up with obscure answers.

Sorry I've pissed you off Rammy as you've been an excellent contestant in the games I've hosted. And fair play to those that haven't googled, you're better people than me. ;) Sorry if people on Five Guys feel let down or tarnished - all I can say is that you know I have worked hard for the team - keeping the guessed words up to date in lucky ladders, DVD Hunt (which didn't to well results wise :D but I tried) etc.

I guess all I can add to that is that we aren't playing for a cash prize, I only want a good game really. I helped write matches and stuff in Promotion Wars and I'm sure Oaf/Munkiki/Rich/people who've hosted Sheep will tell you that I go all out to meet deadlines, send answers, make predictions in TPLG/prediction leagues I've played in, in the past. Basically I really make an effort in games type features on here that I play.

If people don't want me playing in their games in the future then I'll understand and respect that. I'm still going to be running Survivor, if enough people sign up. If people don't want to sign up because of this then that's fair enough as well and their decision.

TL;DR - I cheated and I'm sorry.

I'm not sure any other people did Google tbh. Sure there may have been odd moments when it was difficult and someone may have turned to it, but not every question. I think it's pretty clear that's how you walked the movie screenshot game now, and the fact you did walk it shows to me you were the only one doing so.

Anyway, appreciate that and of course I'll still play your games. As will everyone else.

Yeah, I know I was totally the guy saying "if anybody cheats BAN THEM FROM EVERYTHING EVER", but I've gotta say, if you're gonna cheat, at least being a man about it and owning up like you have has earned some respect back. I wouldn't begrudge you taking part in 1FF Wars and I don't think anybody else would, either (mainly because you can't cheat in that ;)) and you could probably be Hitler reincarnated and people will still flock to Survivor.

Also, with all of this controversy, I'm yet to address the fact that you're out. So allow me to present "my reaction to LR being out"

Just three games in this stage before we play the final, so obviously those who win tonight will be in an excellent position. Two teams will progress to play Family Fortunes.

'Not The Chase' will only be used if we have a tie between teams for scoring points (as we did last night between Lemons and Five Guys - so if 1st and 2nd are tied, or 2nd and 3rd). Those teams will both play that game to decide where the points go.

If at the end of this stage, teams are tied then the overall score will decide who progresses to the final.

Well, it seems that somebody can't wait to get started on NOTW.

(And like 5000 other people also can't wait for SUTSS to get started on NOTW)

It's more a 'shit, this has crept up on me and I'm not fully prepared'
