EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Survivor technical difficulties!!!

[Joe Cool]

Honest to Pete (lol), guys, I'm tryin', but this site's server, my computer, or my connection seem to be ganging up on me at the same time.

OK first of all, i've been trying to play Survivor, but my private messanging thing hasn't been working right. Every time i try and send a message to anyone, it says "this page cannot be displayed", and then deletes my whole message. That happened 5 days ago, when I tried to send a shout out to all the other Mountaineers, it also happened the day of the first challenge, and also today.

Here is a transcript of the message I just tried to send to Mousekateer55 about this problem, titled "HELP! I DIDN'T RECIEVE ANY OF THAT!":

"Um, Mousekateer55...there is a definite problem with my private message thing.

First of all, the ONLY message about the latest challenge I got from PlutoPins had ONE question on it...what was the scientist from Universe of Energy that does NOT appear in dinosaur. That's it. I will send you another message then with an exact copy of PlutoPins' message. I thought that this was a simple little challenge, and that there was one question. Then I checked my private messages tonight.

I did NOT recieve ANY other private messages with challenge questions! When I got the challenge results from you on June 6, 2001 at exactly 1:12 A.M. eastern time (in the USA), I saw all these questions and a whole bunch of answers...and then I saw that the Mountaineers only sent in 1, or got 1 right. Is my private messaging working O.K, or did PlutoPins forget to send the challenge to me??????? HELP!!!!!!!! I am being short changed in this game, and it has to stop. It wasn't fair that I couldn't be in the challenge due to technical difficulties.

I think this is the reason not too many people sent in answers for the challenge. I will post a reply in a second with PlutoPins's exact message, if I still have a copy.

Thanks guys for listening, and I hope someone fixes this problem.

Looks like i'm Joe-Not-So-Cool on this one. Here's what PlutoPins sent me:

"answer this question and send your answer back to me asap so I can tell Jeff the answers and we can win!!!!!!!!
here goes:
5. What scientist appears in Universe of Energy, but not Dinosaur?"

Using what limited brain power I have left, I think that we were supposed to get one question EACH, and then put them ALL together, and then the leader was supposed to send them to Mousekateer55. I think we were supposed to get RULES in advance, eh???

yeah..I agree...I didnt understand the other challenge...i think it would have been better if the rules would have been sent in advance..I was PMing everyone then finally Samester explained it to me.
Also, I think we should have longer times with the challenges because all the people playing dont get on everyday and on the last challenge I had like 6 hours to answer...what if I would have not gotten on until later?? im just saying what other people might be thinking...but yeah I was confused on the last challenge.

bumping, to see if this one was really deleted or just bumped down to oblivion.
