But I feel this stands on it's own pretty well.

And feel free to skip everything in the parentheses.

(This uses way to many words to say something really simple. I got bored halfway through it and had to take a break from reading it. It doesn't take into account it's audience at all so it doesn't get it's point across very well. I get the point, but it doesn't feel like a strong argument because it doesn't feel like the blog is talking to anyone in particular.)

Now that that's out of the way, the problem with adding enough health that it may last until the first nomination is the fact that those inactives are going to make it onto the block. This leaves a couple possible situations. One is that 1 or 2 of the noms are inactive. If this is the case, the active noms are in a lot of trouble. They're a LOT more likely to get voted out just to pick off more than one player. Thats kind of unfair because the players who die after an elimination get the higher place.

The second situation is that all the players on the block are inactive. That one just sucks. We may as well be playing Day one all over again. Just playing a competition to see who gets nommed day two. This would feel like the game hasn't actually started again. I already waited 12 hrs for the game to start, I don't want to wait an extra 12 hours just because of some stupid inactives.

Theres a simple solution to keep yourself from dieing in a game. A castings, from the first sign up to the last, takes about 2 hours. If its 10:00 and the only castings is half full and you have to go to bed soon... DON'T JOIN A FUCKING CASTINGS! Stop WHINING and figure out that if you have to be on for a game, you shouldn't sign up for it until you can be active for a little bit! Castings games start up all the time. One started now... one will start again in a couple hours. It's not the end of the world if you wait until tomorrow to start a game.

Seriously people. Think about it.
