Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Survivor: New Tartuga

I gotta think in this thing?!?!?!?!?!

Well, with a little over five days left for registration, things is looking a mite bit dire for the fruition of Survivor: New Tartuga.

Unfortunately, we're holding steady with just five registrants. Given the nature of game play, we need a minimum of twelve contestants to make it viable.

Perhaps the timing is off this year, because I have been contacted by a number of people who would otherwise be up for it, but have a conflict this time out. I'll give it until the 19th, but unless there is a sudden groundswell of interest, I'll probably have to call it. Trust me, it disappoints no one more than I, because I love running these things.

If you're on the fence, now is the time to jump in. Only you can save Survivor: New Tartuga!

<still waiting for bribe...>

Seriously, Ex....have you campaigned over at the DCMBs like you did last time? Maybe you could also mention it on the LW and Legion Omnicom Facebook pages? Maybe even on Paul Levitz's FB page? I feel certain that if you broaden the range of places as I suggest, you may get more than enough contestants. If they aren't registered here, there should be plenty of time left for them to do so.

I'm still on the fence about this because there's a fairly significant time investment, but if it gets close and you need one more guy, let me know.

(And why the hell aren't Lash and Edie interested? This is right up their alley!!!!)

The suspense is killing me ...

Well... it had to happen sooner or later. After three years of hosting large scale, Legion-themed, message board games, with this sixth outing, Exnihil Productions have finally come a cropper.


I apologize to the five folks who signed up, but it looks like there just isn't enough interest this time out to warrant Survivor: New Tartuga becoming a reality. (Mods, please de-feature this thread).

Perhaps, as Lardy suggested above, it was a lack of aggressive advertising (although, admittedly, there is a fine line between "advertising" and "becoming a pest" that I really didn't want to cross), but, honestly, I think it really comes down to bad timing.

From the feedback I received, both through this board and other channels, there were quite a handful of people who would have liked to take part, but had other commitments that precluded the time investment. I don't know if we would have hit the magic number, but trust me, we would have come a darned sight closer.


C'est la vie. Perhaps another day.


The one fellow that I really feel bad for is ol' Jeff Proty. I heard he really needed this gig and has fallen on hard times. Well, here's hoping he lands on his feet... er... blobby appendages.

And I was ready to sleep with whoever it took to win. DAng...

Thank you, Ex, for all of the effort you put into this and all of the games you host... While I'm disappointed I'm not going to get the chance to play, I'll be the first one to sign up when you're ready to relaunch ...

As for Jeff Proty, I heard McDonalds is hiring ...

ditto for me. You come up with very good challenges.
