This is Survivor, peeps.
Yeah, I don't get what the big deal is. If you came into this expecting everyone to honor their word...well...I don't know what to tell you.

Re: Ponderosa

See, I was truthful in my dealings, and I wound up here. Deception is how you get to the end (that or having a role that lets you find all the idols). I can't fault Opt for telling lies. That's not clownish- that's gamesmanship.

LoRab asked Quin what I hoped she did. I don't like that Quin implied LoRab didn't deserve to win. She's there without the rolecard that Quin has (finding idols easily) or opt has (winning challenges easily). LoRab's done it socially alone.
I missed this business about winning challenges and idols with ease. Please enlighten me.
Opt's role gave her advantages in the challenges. Quin's role told him where idols were so he could just go find them every time they came back out.
Told him where the idols were? Just like that? Pffff.

Opt's role gave her advantages...okay fine. What manner of advantages?

I hope that people are able to look at this decision objectively instead of deciding purely based on "who was I aligned with/who screwed me over".

I kinda think that's tacky.
I think once the sting wears off of being betrayed, this is easier to do.

Re: Ponderosa

I told Opt I would help her win unless that came into conflict with Eloh winning. She understood.

You and notsawyer, both just were easy votes that no one seemed likely to oppose. At least that's why I did it.
I wasn't bothered by it- only surprised. I never go into an LMS scenario expecting to win, which is why they don't appeal to me at all (and honestly, I don't know why they're appealing to anybody), but I really enjoyed the challenges Scotty put in front of us, so that made it a fun experience.

So I rebelled and you see how that worked out. We would have been better off with the guy with the bat tbh. Lynching Faraday was stupid and someone needed to take the blame for it imo, but I guess not.

So sorry people who died since the merge.

I will enjoy watching them turn on each other. Opt doesn't seem very comfortable with conflict.
For the record, I told people in BTSC in advance that I wasn't going to vote for you unless out of self-preservation. That was a decision I made before this even started.

Does anyone want to discuss the questions we'll be asking the survivors?
We have to ask them questions?

I honestly have no idea how this works. I've never seen a single episode of this program. :keys:

Free BTSC is the problem. Make people talk in the thread and you have a show.

I thought getting BTSC with someone was a treat but when 99% of conversation is deciding who is talking to whom...zzzzzzzzzzz. My role ability was purposeless really.
Yes, that's understandable. But you also didn't request BTSC in the early goings. I've actually had people get peeved they don't have enough BTSC. :shrug2: So you can't win em all.

I'm not sure imposing, say, a minimum post count in thread is going to get discussion going either.

As for your role, it was more based in vote manipulation, which can be very powerful.
BTSC early when everybody can get it is useless. If I were you, I would have had no BTSC whatsoever except maybe one one-time special ability.

BTSC is- forgive me for saying so- pointless in a Last Man Standing situation. People complaining about not enough BTSC are being silly. You're either getting voted out or you aren't.

Re: Ponderosa

My strategy in this would have been to pick little words because people would have assumed they'd be ruled out.

Plus there are unscrambling services online anyone can use to find the big words.

Re: Ponderosa

The greatest thing about LMS games is that I can enter them knowing I have no chance at ever winning them.
