  • 2 Stars — Pretty bad. Some funny moments, dragged, too many vibe repair days. Barely worth checking.

    Votes: 87 11.4%

    Votes: 170 22.2%

  • 4 Stars — Really good. Lots of hilarious moments, strong fish personalities, solid content and vibes

    Votes: 405 52.9%

With how this is being run so far, I am about to get down on one knee to Jet Neptune.
I know this hasn't even "technically" started quite yet, but seeing as how the entire behind the scenes process is being streamed right in front of our eyes, this entire production feels so slap dashed together. There's a lot of interesting tech being down on the background, like the map tracker, the feedback vests that display health on the app, drones and even multiple vehicles. Yet everything feels just so, so cheap. The bags were already ripping before they got off the bus, telling a bunch of IRL streamers and Letty/Jon a complicated battery replacement tutorial that they need to remember, even running or bumping into something slightly means you lose a life, every question or concern asked to Ice is just met with "uh.. no". The hours long bus ride, the hours before they can get off the bus to stand in a circle for a hour.
Not that I am surprised, but Jet and the Whippet Boys had a better production set up with Bloodgames.

Ice is streaming and said he did test everything but not with 50 people, lol. Says they were still testing the vests 2 hours ago (!!) and right now he has no way to radio in the people out in the field because the walkie talkies are not working. Not a great a start.

Edit: He said the vests are "buggy" and that the winner will likely be whoever figures out how the vests work and how to get them take damage points. This is going to cause fights.

Does no one hire reality show vets anymore? 30 years of competition reality shows and no one thinks to hire someone from that Industry for this?

I know a guy who got fucked by COVID and was doing door dash that got hired for active shooting scenarios and training videos, and the sole reason he was hired was because of his impressive resume that proved he could handle the "behind the scenes" stuff

It's like if Jet tried to make his own version of Saturday Night Live but decided to just write the sketches himself instead of hiring one of the thousands of writers that have experience in live sketch comedy.

Ice didn't think to get any of the countless underemployed people of Austin who have done reality show work to help on this? They didn't play test any of this?
 
Admittedly, I had extremely low expectations from an Ice Poseidon production, but I've been impressed so far. Goran should take note of a few things:

-The map and body cameras on each player are a great touch.
-No forced gay narrative to appease/shock the audience.
-Enough space to let characters naturally form up in groups and strategize
-Using LTE instead of WIFI
-Natural interaction without TTS/SFX from FT crew/audience constantly baiting contestants

I'm sure Ice will have the same issues with being lazy as Jet does, but this is a much better start than I expected.

The map is cool and works well so far. But the vests suck so far. Some of the vests are malfunctioning, it's claiming the contestants are "dead" even though there hasn't been any fighting yet.

Ice is now claiming that some of the contestants are losing points due to running or their backpack hitting up against their vest. These vests really suck, they either need to be punched super hard or sometimes a slight breeze makes it lose points.

I think Jet's idea with Blood Games was better with the wrist bands and relying on the honor system, and checking cameras. These vests sound cool on paper but don't work. It's really not fair and is not entertaining to see contestants technically "lose" because of these faulty vests.

Edit: Ice decides to reset everyone's lives and send out a notification to let them know to be more careful. Everyone hears the notification but doesn't read it. Ice says this is their fault and they're stupid. But earlier Ice told them not to take their phone off? Idk, so far Ice is handling this worse than Jet in my opinion.

What a shit-show. There has been no formal fighting yet and people are dying from RUNNING.
Here is a check on player status, hit taken, could the system be bugged?

No, apparently the system is just a mess, registering false positives constantly.

EBZ (big black booger eating gay) has a very very very short fuze and assaulted Burger planet last Icepiss event so yea some are very unstable,
There is only a few id consider IP2 related and a few id consider very very tangentially related
 
The people in the IP2 thread were calling Fishtank "nontent" I tune in to this shit and literally nothing is happening. People are walking in a field with the sunset in the distance.
 
This is so frustrating to watch. Another guy is nearly dead now because he ran from a fight and the vest registered his steps as being hit. Another guy is randomly dead for some unknown reason and Ice is allowing this. Ice keeps blaming the contestants, now he's saying it's happening because the contestants are not tightening the vests tight enough. According to him it has to be EXTREMELY tight.

Pretty fucked to see the showrunner blaming the contestants when he knew the vests were, in his own words, buggy, and he was still testing them after the contestants arrived.
 
SlightlyHomeless has been hiding from everyone this entire time, doing pretty good. Somehow the bushes killed him. He's upset and complaining. He makes great points how this isn't entertaining or fair when he's playing the game right.

Ice is realizing the game will end soon if everyone ends up dying for dumb reasons, so he has a blackup plan. He is going to make the contestants wear white t-shirts, and he's giving them sling shots. They will keep up with the hits based on how many paint ball stains are on the shirts. If you have 5 paint stains on the shirt you're out. Contestants can still beat the shit out of each other with weapons but it won't take away hit points.

Honor system would not work with this group lol that is a disaster waiting to happen

I haven't seen the issues with the vests, I've just been watching Jon's stream. Jon's trying to keep up with the group but Letty is lagging behind.

When i watch Ice Poseidon, I know I'm watching a complete shitshow. That's what I'm expecting here. Anything else is an added benefit.
 
Fuck you Ice Poshithead,

This is a shitshow. You tried to copy Bloodgames/2.5 and bought a bunch of chink shit and forced everyone to use their own mobile data which was a terrible idea. 2 hours of waiting for a bus that was late in a random parking lot in the ghetto of Austin, Texas. 3 hours of nontent on a bus was better than watching people aimlessly walk in a field. The mobile phone you gave Letty is garbage and doesn't get any reception. The Map/GPS is cool in theory but it's too bad everything else sucks. This seems like you slopped it together in a few days and paid other people to come up with terrible solutions hoping to turn this into a profit.

A handful of wiggers made a better production than you for less money.

Sincerely,
Wigger-Apologist
