Well! According to my copy of the paragraph, you gys never got the comma between 'big' and 'happy', both adjectives describing the same noun, 'family'... but I'm not gonna leave this thread open all weekend for you guys to find and correct one mistake. So we're finally done! After, what... three weeks? Sorry about that, guys...

Anyway. The final scores and the fully corrected paragraphs are up in the forst post. Saber Knight kicked all of your behinds and came in first, but last place is... a tie! Between Cheesey and The N00b. It's Saber's choice which of these two gets the boot, though I expect to see a lot of case-pleading on both sides...

But I swear, Cheesey, I'll use my Silver Trump powers to fire you myself if you say ANYTHING about being on the same team. I want to see comparing of your achievements in previous rounds. Maybe why you think you'd be a better Appreintice in the end, because we're starting to get close to that...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Saber, in all three of the first rounds, I beat Marley by points, even if not by much.

That's it. STOP STARING AT ME!

EXACTLY!! Think about it like this: You want it as easy as possible, right Saber? So think about this: Cheesy did better than me in the first three rounds. What does this tell you? That he's more of a threat. Eliminate Cheesy, and you'll have a better chance of winning the ENTIRE thing, because, think about it. I'm lazy. We all know this. I'm also taking 5 HONORS classes this year, with hella homework in each, so I may not be able to post. Cheesy on the other hand, posts A LOT!! Seriously, go check his profile. He probably has one of the highest posts per day, higher than me at least. He has more of a chance to post, and therefore, a better chance of doing better than you. With me it's like "What? I have to THINK? Fudge it". So, do the right thing and eliminate the bigger threat (Cheesy) and let the lay guy get eliminated later because he can't/won't post (Me).

In short, get rid of the bigger threat now, and save the less threatening guy for later.

It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

Even though I'm not going to be eliminated, I say that you go for the weakest link. If you vote out the strongest, then whoever get's to the apprentice won't do a very good job.

But, If I'm truly the weakest link, then I'll get voted out no matter what.

Just pointing that out....
If that's your only argument Marley, then you're probably going to be kicked.

Well Gee, Saber, you should have thought of that before you dominated this round... Eh, at this rate, they're both going to be eliminated any way, so it doesn't matter which one's fired right now. Flip a coin, roll a dice, vote The N00b out because he doesn't respect my authority... I'll give him a chance to come with another reason as to why he shouldn't be voted out, anyway, because the more time I have to prepare teh next round, the better. Didn't have much time to be thinking about Apprentice challenges in Stevensonland...

I stick with my argument. I did better than Marley, so I should continue.

Re: IPA Apprentice: Team Impossible Cash

Ok well think about this:

Who would YOU rather have running IPA eventually?
Think about it. Let's say you DON'T win, and Cheesy starts running IPA (Not right at the start mind you). Do you really want someone like him leading everything? I mean, I know I'm no Gandhi, but still, I'd think that I would do a better job than Cheesy. I mean, he always hides from new members...that's not a good trait...

And he obviously doesn't want it that much, because look at his reason "I did better than Marley." Pfft.I've given you TWO paragraphs. Com on

@Gar: OH NOES!!! I CAN'T PROOFREAD!! I'LL BE A HORRIBLE APPRENTICE!!

And Silver...I'm hurt that you would think that I didn't respect you...

Edit: OK guys...I'm not THAT lazy. I mean, I get up everyday to post here, no matter how tired I am, because I care. And posting...most of Cheesy's post are in Game time, he's been here longer, and I STILL have more posts than him!

For the intro threads. Those are SUPPOSED to be random and crazy.

And he obviously doesn't want it that much, because look at his reason "I did better than Marley." Pfft.I've given you TWO paragraphs. Come on This is merit based. Not 'he's a threat' and 'he does stupid stuff in the intro threads'.

@Gar: OH NOES!!! I CAN'T PROOFREAD!! I'LL BE A HORRIBLE APPRENTICE!! And this is the same point, this is merit based. You argue that you don't need to be able to proofread to win, but you do have to do decently on the challenges, and as you've done worse than me up until this point, I think that you should be eliminated. It's as simple as that.

And Silver...I'm hurt that you would think that I didn't respect you...

Edit: OK guys...I'm not THAT lazy. I mean, I get up everyday to post here, no matter how tired I am, because I care. And posting...most of Cheesy's post are in Game time, he's been here longer, and I STILL have more posts than him! The same can be said for you with the Game Time.

I really don't care how much you guys post in Game Time, or how much you post at all; the important thing for IPA is being able to get to the forums at least once every day, and mentioning ahead of time if there's a day when you can't.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant

I definitely get on everyday, and barely have to go anywhere. And when I do go places, I still post. Unlike cheesy, who is only on a couple days, and goes places a lot.
