[RAZOR] <[KIBBLE?! 🦆ING KIBBLE?! This is MY SHOW! Can I get at least MINUSCULE amount of RESPECT?! #vagueposting!]
now THATS a great joke
I EXPECT YOU ALL TO CHEER MY NAME LIKE A GRUBSCHOOL SPORTS DAY. #WHEELOFTORTURE #WELOVERGABIE
[STONING] <[You remembered MY OWN TAG!!!! Ohhh, Mr. Treign!]

THINK LESS “NPC” (NOMINALLY PITIABLE CREATURE), AND MORE “CHUD” (CANNIBALISTIC, HORRIFYING, UNDERGROUND DWELLER).
YOUR MIND IS SO EASILY BREAKABLE.
THIS IS NOTHING TO ME (MENTALLY EXALTED). THE ONLY THING YOU (YOUNG OBTUSE URCHIN) ARE EMANATING FROM YOUR PAN IS CONTAGIOUS STUPIDITY.
[FORCED TO PLAY OVERWATCH] <[PRE-GAME INTERVIEW 3:] Costar Treign @surlyTabloid <[Costar comes from us from the bustle of his own office. Dissatisfied with his job writing for the NEWS, he decided to take the wheel and start his OWN journey, getting in WILD SITUATIONS on the way! Don’t be misguided by his alleged repertoire of writing skills — he is a CHUD (Cjobless Hhivedwelling Uinternet Dentrepreneur). Keep an eye on him. He’ll rule the game with an iron fist! LITERALLY! Hopefully!] <[Here we asked him a SERIES OF QUESTIONS to get to know him better as a PERSON AND A COMPETITOR.] <[Let’s see what he has to say!] ________________________________ [Tell me about your background. What's your life story?] ST: OH, I’M JUST A NEWS GUY, Y’KNOW? I USED TO WORK FOR BIG EMPIRE NEWS DIRECTORS, BUT WE GOT INTO SOME ARGUMENTS SO I MADE MY OWN COMPANY, LLT, WHERE I “WORK” NOW. WE “WORK” SOMETIMES, I GUESS. MAINLY WATCH GRUBTUBE AND SOMEHOW GET INTO ANTICS NOW AND THEN? THAT’S ALL THAT’S NOTEWORTHY. TA: What kind of Antics, if you don't mind me asking? ST: THE ANNOYING KIND, LIKE OLD COWORKERS LOOKING FOR ME. THE BAD, UNSPEAKABLE KIND, LIKE DROPPING FOOD ON THE FLOOR. JUST THE OTHER WIPE I WAS IN A STORM THAT TOOK OUT AN ISOLATED SUBGRUB. WAS STUCK IN A CAVE FOR A WHILE. [If you could choose to travel to ANY PART OF THE WORLD, where would it be and why?] ST: YEESH, THAT’S TOUGH. ‘CUPE? FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND. THERE’S NOT MUCH OUTSIDE THE OFFICE I NEED TO DO. [How certain are you that you'll survive the game? Why?] ST: I’M NOT CERTAIN OF MUCH, BUT I’VE SURVIVED A LOT OF STUFF THAT SOMEHOW HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I’M CONFIDENT. [So a bit MORE about the show: you'll be faced with a multitude of challenges testing your STRENGTH, WIT, AND CREATIVITY. Maybe a mishmash of all three! You've got to keep your bulbs peeled and your mettle ready to be Tested. Regarding this, do you have a game strategy in mind? Not only WITH these challenges, but with your fellow competitors? Are you planning to PLAY SOLO or TEAM UP?] ST: MAN, I DON’T REALLY KNOW ANY OF THOSE GUYS. NO INITIATIVE TO REACH OUT A HELPING HAND, UNLESS IT HELPS ME OUT, Y’KNOW? I DON’T WORK WELL WITH MOST PEOPLE. AS FOR THE CHALLENGES, JUST TRUST ME, MAN. [Do you think you'd make more friends or more enemies in the game?] ST: I’M NOTORIOUS FOR SOMEHOW MAKING LOTS OF BOTH. I’M NOT ACTUALLY, BUT IT’S HARD TO SAY. I’M A FRIENDLY GUY, BUT GIVEN THE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT I’D PROBABLY MAKE MORE ENEMIES. [What would you do with the million caegars if you WON?] ST: THREE WORDS. SUPER GOONING HIVE. [Finally, do you have anything to say to the people you'll be COMPETING AGAINST?] ST: LET ME WIN AND YOU CAN GET A ROOM IN THE SUPER GOONING HIVE. [I'm playing a game of Mini Tele☎, so you get to see THIS message from the LAST PERSON I INTERVIEWED:] RI: print("please do not kill me") RI: print("+ i think everyone should pick a gog + start praying") ST: WOWIE. ST: SOMEONE’S [GOT] A LITTLE STAGE FRIGHT. ________________________________ <[WHAT. A. CHARACTER. This is a troll you JUST CAN’T MISS! See what antics HE’LL get into on the WHEEL OF TORTURE! And be on the lookout for our NEXT INTERVIEW! Hope you had fun interviewing this guy, @televisedAviamor!] <[#wheeloftorture #spinthewheel #wotinterviews]
Him. Continue eating your wheel of torture brand kibble. You have not wronged me.
[BULLETS IN HOTDOG] <[DON'T expose the kibble just yet! It's a secret product!!!]
I am sorry. Can you forgive me. and liscense my offbrand wheel of torture brand kibble. I have never done anything wrong and you are my friend. It is 100% sawdust. please.
WHO? ME?
YEAH?
C’MON, MAN. DID I OFFEND YOU SOMEHOW?
[HANGING] <[I'm FLOURISHING! The show prep makes me so EXCITED!!!]
[BREAKING WHEEL] <[PRE-GAME INTERVIEW 2:] Riiane Connol @ramblingIndividual <[Riiane is a jadeblood coming to us from a rather unfortunate situation. He’s trying to survive in a world that frowns upon hobbyists wanting to make a living off what they LOVE. He’s in search of many things: a JOB, FOOD ON HIS PLATE, ENDLESS RICHES, and… LOVE(S)?! Okay, KIDDING on that last part. His SKILLS, however, are no joke. He’s a MASTER (amateur) BASS PLAYER——but he didn’t come here to PLAY; he came to WIN!] <[Here we asked him a SERIES OF QUESTIONS to get to know him better as a PERSON AND A COMPETITOR.] <[Let’s see what he has to say!] ________________________________ [Tell me about your Background. What's your Life Story?] RI: print("ummm well i am broke + need money so that is why i joined") RI: print("i kinda saw the money part + skimmed the rest i did not realise i was probably going to die") RI: print("i play bass but i doubt that will be useful here") [If there's anywhere you would want to go in the world, where would it be and why? This could be anywhere on Alternia OR on Beforus. OR a Fictional Place.] RI:print("uhhh hot chick heaven i dont know man") RI:print("due to the whole being broke thing i have not really thought about going anywhere") [How certain are you that you'll survive the WHEEL OF TORTURE?] RI:print("i guess") print("i am afraid") RI:print("with hindsight the names + t+c are quite foreboding") RI:print("but like surely not everyone is going to die right?") [So a bit MORE about the show: you'll be faced with a Multitude of challenges testing your STRENGTH, WIT, AND CREATIVITY. Maybe a mishmash of all three (⒊)! Regarding this, do you have a game strategy in mind? Not only WITH these challenges, but with your fellow competitors? Are you planning to PLAY SOLO or TEAM ↑?] RI:print("well i do not really know anyone else competing") print("which means they will probably 🦆 me over") RI:print("so perhaps if i just stick to myself + troop on i wont be putting a target on my back") RI:print("i hope") [On that note, do you think you'd ultimately make more friends or more enemies in the game?] RI:print("well i would like to hope friends") print("but seeing the nature of the game i would not really want to see all my new found friends die") RI:print("+ i do not see any reason why i would amass any enemies") RI:print("so i suppose i am leaning closer to the friends side") [What would you do with the Million Caegars if you WON?] RI:print("well i would probably buy an actual hive inside of the dilapidated ruin im in at the moment") RI:print("buy a lot of food") RI:print("probably buy a lot of drink") RI:print("not just for the enjoyment side i will probably want to forget some stuff....") RI:print("+ then give some of it to some friends") [Do you have anything to say to the people you'll be competing against?] RI:print("please do not kill me") print("+ i think everyone should pick a gog + start praying") [I'm playing a game of Mini Tele☎, so you get to see THIS message from the LAST PERSON I INTERVIEWED.] CA: uhnmmmm ^_^ apple ^_^ oh and good luck and ha\/e a good day ^_^ and uhhhhhh ^_^ uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lalalalalalalalalalala ^_^ RI:print("that has eliminated some of the stress") RI:print("it is a lovely message") [How would you respond to this, hypothetically?] RI:print("umm thank you for the well wishes of good luck") RI:print("with any of it we will both survive!") ________________________________ <[Isn’t he so CHARMINGLY RELATABLE? The WHEEL OF TORTURE seemed to be the QUICKEST WAY for a PAYDAY. But will he survive? You’ll have to find out on the WHEEL OF TORTURE! Stick around to see the NEXT INTRODUCTION to our COLORFUL CAST! Once again, thanks for interviewing our dear contestants, @televisedAviamor!] <[#wheeloftorture #spinthewheel #wotinterviews]
[HANGING] <[Considering you just LOST YOUR JOB, you MIGHT need these 1,000,000 CAEGARS more, MR. TREIGN.]
OH, YEAH. GUYS HE’S NOT THE ONLY HIVELESS PLAYER.
[FORCED TO PLAY OVERWATCH] <[I must say I am very PROUD of you not putting your LIFE on the line there! We kind of legally own it now, after all!]
WHEN I WIN DO YOU STOP OWNING IT?
NO, I WAS TO INFATUATED WITH THE LOGO.

[WATERBOARDING] <[Alternia is also about RESPECTING those who are in HIGHER position than you! INCLUDING the BLOOD COLOR!]

[BREAKING WHEEL] <[PRE-GAME INTERVIEW 1:] V @celestialAbsurdity <[V is an eager and enigmatic troll who comes from the beating pusher of a decrepit forest——a witch, if you may. She’s well-attuned to the mysteries of life. A sleuth of elder gods, an overseer of fortunes. She has as many passions as she has secrets: if you’re looking to have your FORTUNE READ or your BURNING TROLL NARUTO QUESTIONS ANSWERED, she’s your eclectic ebberess.] <[Here we’ve asked her a SERIES OF QUESTIONS to get to know her better as a PERSON AND A COMPETITOR.] <[Let’s see what she has to say!] ________________________________ [Tell me about your background. What's your life story?] This section has been removed for privacy’s sake! You’ll have to find out more on the show! In the words of our interviewee: CA: uhm, anyways though!!!!!! [If you could choose to travel to ANY PART OF THE WORLD, where would it be and why?] CA: do other places like beforus count or just alternia? Z: ? TA: Preferably a place on Alternia. BUT I don't think they'll say anything if you 🗨 about a place on Beforus/Beforus itself. CA: i'd wanna go where my dear, sweet idmone is on beforus...... ^_^ CA: he is...............<3 CA: ehehehehehehehehehehehe. CA: he's so enchanting ^_^ CA: and he's tall and cerulean and kind and the sweetest E\/ERRRRR!!! ^_^ CA: he is my SOULMATE...<3 [How certain are you that you'll survive the game? Why?] CA: uhmmmm ^_^ i'm assuming i'll win i ha\/e no other choice but to sur\/i\/e ^_^ not that blood plays into anything but i do ha\/e specific genes and connections to otherwordly things so one way or another i will make it out just fine ^_^ CA: i am meant to suffer anyways ^_^ this is just another step in that process ^_^ it'll be okie dokie CA: i can also just kill anyone i ha\/e to Z: ) [So a bit MORE about the show: you'll be faced with a multitude of challenges testing your STRENGTH, WIT, AND CREATIVITY.

CA: i ha\/e a lot of creati\/ity in my aura ^_^ CA: and i'm not a dum dum ^_^ CA: hm.... i dunno!!!!! CA: i think i'll team up if the trolls i'm around are nicies. CA: i think i'm just gonna go in and try my best ^_^ that is all i can do!!!!!!!!!! [Do you think you'd make more friends or more enemies in the game?—] CA: my gut is telling me that trolls will not like me as much as i would like them to. this usually happens!!!!! ^_^ [Feel free to predict how the SHOW will pan out.] CA: hm..... CA: i suppose i can do a reading if you want a prediction! TA: Have at it! CA: may i pull some cards for a potential outcome? Z: ] TA: The stage is YOURS, my Friend. CA: perfect!!!!! CA: just a moment… CA: HOW THE SHOW WILL PAN OUT: CA: QUEEN OF PENTACLES: a lot of energy, sponsors, and o\/erall a good energy that is determined to focus on wealth and material goods!!!! a LOT will be accomplished, and the atmosphere will be similar to a hi\/e, or just feel like a hi\/e away from hi\/e mayhaps...? CA: i think many will tune in and a lot of great insight will be pulled from the show!!!! CA: THE HERMIT; RE\/ERSED. CA: hm... a lack of wit and common sense here!!! ^_^ this could also mean that those who ha\/e been isolating themsel\/es will be coming out, now and sharing their truths. there is a \/ulnerability in this card. CA: THE FI\/E OF CUPS; RE\/ERSED: CA: in it's upright form, this represents a feeling of loneliness. there are going to be periods where others feel lost, or trapped, but there is a great chance they will get out!!!! CA: reco\/ery is possible! CA: o\/erall- the show will most likely go well or the way it is initially planned to be panned out by it's producers, i think! CA: onto my fate: CA: how peculiar. ^_^ a card mo\/ed from its upright to re\/erse. CA: 7 OF WANDS: i will ha\/e to defend myself. ^_^ others will try and attack me. lol ^_^ CA: THE HIGH PRIESTESS: a card of deep self reflection and inaction. hm! CA: THE 8 OF PENTACLES: a lot, or \/ery little work in\/ol\/ed! how peculiar! CA: upon asking if i will sur\/i\/e- the answer is yes, i think! CA: the hermit, the moon re\/ersed, and the queen of pentacles! [What would you do with the million caegars if you WON?] CA: oh otay ^_^ what's up??? Z: ] CA: hmmmmmmmm.... ^_^ CA: wowie that's a lot ^_^ i could order grubtaco bell fore\/er without e\/er ha\/ing to worry again ^_^ CA: i think i would get more sasuke and \/ merch, fund some dream cosplays, and figure out a way off of alternia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just anything i can do to li\/e a peaceful life... ^_^ CA: i'd happily donate and help out any other trolls in need also ^_^ [Finally, do you have anything to say to the people you'll be COMPETING AGAINST?] CA: uhnmmmm ^_^ apple ^_^ CA: oh and good luck and ha\/e a good day ^_^ CA: and uhhhhhh ^_^ uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh CA: lalalalalalalalalalala ^_^ ________________________________ <[Isn’t she so FASCINATING?
