Them even placing a vote in their confessionals without checking to see if their journal was updated = their mistake = self vote = 12 hours or not, u dont' place a vote without 2 confessionals. lol. This has been a rule since Tom was like a teenager.
Both Cody and Robbie would have gotten a self vote the TC Sheri was voted out had they done the same thing, and this they both know. The whole "shortened" TC, only having 12 hours to vote sounds SO incredibly stupid lol, seeing as it takes maybe 4 minutes total, to update a proper journal.

In a purely contextual sense, I'm pretty sure "hinomaru" just would translate into English as the "Japanese flag." Lol. In a literal sense, however, it would mean "circle of the sun." It's what the Japanese call their flag, which is also officially known as the Nisshoki. Translating it as "circle of the sun" would sort of be like me walking around referring to the Canadian flag as the red maple leaf with red borders. It would also be the same as if you were to, I guess, translate a Japanese person's name into English... like the name of the actress Chiaki Kuriyama, whose kanji basically translate, in English, to "thousand light chestnut mountain." I don't know if that explanation makes any sense to anyone; it does to me. I guess it's a minor pet peeve I have with the explanation of the name. Lol.

The whole "shortened" TC, only having 12 hours to vote sounds SO incredibly stupid lol, seeing as it takes maybe 4 minutes total, to update a proper journal. Did Cody and Robbie both do that Episode #2 as well (I honestly don't know)? Cuz speaking of Sheri, from what I remember, she doesn't even have an Episode #2 confessional thread... per your own rules shouldn't she have earned a self-vote? Meaning Tyler wouldn't have had a past-vote and the game could be completely different right now. I just feel like if you weren't going to enforce it then (because it wouldn't have impacted results at the time then you shouldn't have enforced it now, not because it's Cody/Robbie being penalized, but for consistency sake. It just makes it look like you're picking & choosing when to apply your rules, and the only reason I mentioned something as I want it to make sure it's fair, since they both did get confessionals up in a timely manner, imo (IC ended late at night, and both got confessionals up a little after noon the next day, so I don't see why it's that big of a deal). But I do think it's kind of rough to randomly drop a 12-hour deadline on people who have said they wouldn't be around all night. Expecting the players to dedicate their lives to this game is kind of hard as I'm sure this game is already time-consuming and they're probably already exhausted as it is. Thank god the tribe name is looking like Hinomaru. I like the meaning behind it, and "Girlbye" would have irked me because it just sounds like they're not taking the process seriously.

Girlbye as the merge name would've been ugh... Was actually really hoping for this one. I hate merge names that try so hard to sound all "proper." DABU is my favorite from the real show. WUTTASLUT from iS. Names like Hinoramu or whatever...and MACQUARIE. Ugh.

Meaning Tyler wouldn't have had a past-vote and the game could be completely different right now. Sheri posted confessionals in a different thread for Episode 2, and once she was voted out I reminded everyone that if their shit isn't in the proper Episode they won't receive credit or Yen. I understand you are friends with Cody and/or Robbie but, no. This rule is not something new. And I don't implement it whenever I see fit, thanks for the insinuation tho!

And honestly, you once again mentioning this sudden 12 hour deadline as if it's THE reason they didn't update their journals in over 48 hours is so silly, no offense.
This wasn't the first nor will it be the last time of a sudden 12 hour vote. This was however, the first time a 12 hour vote seemed to confuse T W O people about Journal requirements.
iSurv1vor takes up as much of your life as you want it to. 3 sentences. Post. 3 sentences. Post. 3 minutes worth of your time out of 48+ hours.
Gurlbai.
