I'm pretty close to making my decision. I'll give my why's and where for's during the winner reveal at the end.
I instructed Kat and Stepper to come to their own decisions and use any means they thought fair and equitable to help make that decision. Good job Stepper and Kat for resisting the bribery and blatant flattery.
As far as giving the money to us and splitting it......you know we can't do that. But I have got a new scheme set up we can all participate in. Antarctic tours! Seems everyone wants to see where Madam P set up the roller coaster and the grave site of the dead penguin mail penguin. We're going to make a mint guys so don't worry about the money.
I'd like to wrap this up my Tuesday but if everyone needs more time we can stretch this out some more.
Good luck boys it's a tough decision.

For my part, the post season festivities have been fun, but resolved nothing. I ended up with a split no-decision between our erstwhile contestants. Jox and Madam P have both done well. Did you know there’s not clap icon? I wanted to give both of them a clappy icon but I couldn’t find one. I guess neither of them gets the clap from me! (That looks odd somehow. Maybe I should have said ovulation, oration, ovation - what ever that word is.) But be that as it may, I finally decided it was necessary to review the game pretty much in its entirety. Fair play demands fair consideration. (And I couldn’t sleep anyways. It was over 100 (again) and the compressor on my air conditioner quit so it was too flipping hot!) I finally arrove at a decision in the wee hours of the morning. I’m not sure if I was dripping sweat from my hard work or some other factor. It was a difficult decision, but now the choice is made, the die has been cast, and the dog’s done barking. The no longer secret judge chooses - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - why are you looking here? You know I’m only going to tell Scrappy and Kat.

The answers to my final flop questions were available on page 7. Actually, I thought both of you would ignore any requirement to refrain from looking back. As noted from one of the games, the person most likely to cheat also happens to be one of the remaining contestants. I'll save you the trouble. I told Kat we had a BEST temperature of 92.2, and that I was making him chocolate chip cookies with a total 551 chips. Yes, I really did get those scores.

Ahem, Honorable Judge Stepper. The question was 'which player was the most likely to bend the rules'. I did bend them (just a little) when we were playing around, such as breaking into Scrappy's hotel. But I never cheated at any of the challenges. Just wanted to clarify that, cuz cheating is not what I'm about.

And I completely agree with your assessemnt. I apologize if my paraphrasology was in any way inappropriate. Although, I thought breaking into Scrappy's hotel was a tad more excessive than bent. More like Twisted, pretzel shaped, and brilliant.

We do too have claps. We've had them the whole time. ... they are as follows: clap, clap2, clap3, & clap4 ... just add a : before and after.

I guess I just didn't find them. I've been through a couple of the Custom Smiles posts to see what was available, but never noticed the ones for clapping. Thanks for letting me know Mini-Mia!

You're welcome, Stepper.
Have you looked in the 'celebration' thread? I think that's where they might be.
Perhaps I should consider adding an "All" thread.

It's all good, Stepper. It's just I dislike it immensely when people cheat, and wouldn't want you or anyone else to think I cheated.
Oh....and all that rule bending surrounding the break-in...er...visit to Scrappy's hotel? Technically, we (I) followed the rules to the letter; Scrappy didn't point out the microscopic print until after I complained cuz she took away my coffee beans. Pfft.
Of which, btw, five are missing. Joxie have you been using them in your pea-shooter again to try to take down those buzzards circling overhead while we wait ever-so-patiently for the outcome of this thing?

Joxcee digs toe in snow and tries to hide the snowman behind her. Me? Shoot buzzards? Why ever would I do that?
Wonders how she's going to finish the snowman's face now that Phalon has a much closer eye on those coffee beans.

<spies the snowman behind Joxie's back and notices its cute little button eyes and nose are...>
MY COFFEE BEANS!!!!
Ah well, since this is almost over, I'll let them stay. He's missing something though; he looks kinda cold, covered in snow like he is....oh, I know, wait!
<rummages around in her tent>
Ah-ha! Just the thing! He'll be all warm and toasty in my complimentary Hotel Scrappy terrycloth robe.
There must have been some magic in the terrycloth robe I stole...er...borrowed....

Man I had no idea how attached to those five beans you'd be. You'd think they were magic beans or something. Was there a coffee bean pole from here to the main land? And no worries ladies we are waiting on one decision. So I suggest you lay it on thick you never know what your sucking up could produce.
And as far as the cheating thing goes. I trust them all to not cheat. As long as I was specific in what they could and couldn't do I trusted them to follow the instructions. Besides. What would be the point of cheating at an online game where no actual money is involved?

What!?! NO ACTUAL MONEY IS INVOLVED!?! WT?
And I should win ... because ... well ... I outplayed Phalon. I got her to use the fake immunity idol so that I could prove how much more cleverer I was by posting the real deal. (I could have just played it, but I poopooed around until someone else tried to get the immunity first.)
AND ... by using the immunity idol, I knocked off Kat in the process. So I should most definitely be the winner.

I should be the winner, which should be announced tomorrow because it's a full moon, and all the weirdos come out when there's a full moon so it's only fitting.
Besides....Joxie's got the wand; she can manufacture her own fake money with just a wave. I, on the other hand, have worked long and hard to earn this fake money, which I will spend wisely, feeding and clothing my poor family, who's had to scrounge the empty cupboards during my long, grueling absence, because I'm just betting no one's gone to the grocery store, or done laundry while I was gone.

You do realise doncha Jox that we lost for the first time last week, which means "for the moment" we're the second bestest [ which will all change come finals time ] ;D Okay how do we go about this, I've decided, sorta, do I post here, in a PM, wait for instructions from the Grand Poohbar, what exactly, come on, times a wastin' and I'm a busy man.

Looks like Madam P wins!
Congratulations! Madam P is the Whoosh Island Survivor!

Here she comes....Ms. Antartica....
Thank you. I couldn't have come this far without my loyal manicure kit. Oh, and the Honorable Judges; they had something to do with it too, I'm sure. And my Worthy Opponents, because without them, there'd no contest, and it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun.
And thanks to the ever-so-lovely Hostess Probstess, who made all this possible, and did a spectacular hostessing job.
And thanks to the penguins, who made Whoosh Survivor Antarctica penguiny. I've decided to donate all my winnings except an amount to be decided once the bill comes in, to their cause, The Association for the Betterment of Penguin Amusement; I'm funding a theme park based around the Bobcoaster. Even the Yeti is joining in - it turns out it's a She-Yeti, and she's playing the role of the Bearded Lady; to her, I'm leaving Joxie's hairdryer.
To Joxie's Snowman, I'm leaving my supply of coffee beans....because it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
The amount to be decided once the bill comes in will go toward the best cup of year-and-a-half-old coffee fake Whoosh money can buy. Everyone is invited to the Whoosh Upon a Star to join me in whatever-your-heart-and-tastebuds desire. I'm buying.

Yep I second that, well played Lady P, and Jox also [ me to come to think of it ] Congratulations to the winner, commiserations to the runner up [ and me to come to think of it ] if we go again be warned though, I intend winning by fair means or foul, most probably the latter. Have you done the maths yet Lady P, and worked out how much money "The Association for the Betterment of Penguin Amusement" gets, is it more then a three figure sum? Make sure you keep a tidy sum in reserve, I intend accepting your invitation to a nosh-up, and I have expensive tastes.

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to the winner. I had a blast playing the hostess with the mostest and I hope to get to do it again at some point.
