Honestly (and I mean this in the best way possible) I'm not sure.

It's funny, but in this situation, mob mentality and tribal unity is the same thing. And I'm not around as much on the weekend, so I'm just keeping up enough to assist in unifying the vote. This night, at the least.

Would definitely like to hear more about BTSC liars. Everything I've said in chat has been true.
Are you talking in a BTSC chat room this evening? ANd if so, with whom?

I'm talking with Speed right now. We've been both griping about daylight savings time for the past 10 minutes or so.

I'm not really directing that at Elo, btw. It's more a general statement.

I'm worried that I missed the sound of the starter pistol that told everyone else it's now an alliance-based game of "who can we work with" where tribal lines are as useful as nipples on a breastplate. Meanwhile, I'm over here building a sandcastle with the phrase "MAMANA 4EVA," scrawled on the side, and pretending that people still care about challenge performance and camp life.

I mean, I know that's how the game will eventually go, but I thought tribal unity would be able to work for a little bit longer.

I think it's more the fact that you're transparently basing who you want to vote for off of "who can I personally work with the least," instead of anything about my challenge performance, or my posts, or anything about me at all.

I'm sorry if I've gotten in the way of your game, Elo. It wasn't intentional on my part. I'm just over here working for the benefit of the tribe.

It's hard. But I think I am down for an INH vote at the moment. He's not been a very memorable player. But I want discussion b/c I want to keep this vote in the best interest of the tribe.

Excuse me?

What exactly have you done that is memorable, Elo? What would you say you have contributed to this tribe?

I've been busting my ass in challenges and helping to provide food for everyone despite being poisoned. Sorry if that's not memorable for you because I don't post in gifs, or am not as well-connected as others.

Frankly, what's shocking about this is how out of the blue this is. I barely interact with you, and then you start suggesting my name?

What exactly made you decide I was an easy target, Elo?

Really, all I take away from this is that whatever kind of an alliance Elo has, I most certainly am not in it.

And that's a shitty feeling.

Not particularly. It's just frustrating when it feels like one is being talked over. I just like being acknowledged--it's all I ask in life, really.

And it was really just real life frustration bleeding over into game.

Also, do you feel like this conversation is constructive?

Here's what Lorab said:

Here's what I said:

insertnamehere wrote:Who all's sick? Me, DH, Golden, Wilgy, and Elo?

Wilgy and I both got fish for ourselves, so we're good. I think it's a given that DH, Golden, and Elo should get the extra food due to their stat decrease, but that's just my thoughts. Open to anyone else's input.
I feel like these two posts are different enough in content to warrant them both needing to exist in the thread.

It was more that you didn't acknowledge that there had been another idea proposed. Or that I had spoken.

"I think it's a given," implies that everyone thinks that. I clearly had a slightly different opinion. And you didn't acknowledge the parts of it that were exactly the same.

Alright, let's analyze this.

I was sharing my view, and my opinion on what me, Wilgy, and Opt should do with our extra fish.

I wasn't responding to you, DH, or anyone else. I was just offering up my views.

Also, if you had said something to the effect of "DH, Elo, and Golden should get the fish because they are sick," than yes, we'd be saying the same thing. Instead, you said that Golden, DH, Chuck, and maybe Elo should get the fish while declining to mention the sickness itself or really any reasoning at all.

And even if my opinion was exactly similar to yours, I still had the right to give it in the thread, as I'm one of the people with the fish that started this whole shebang in the first place.

I wasn't specifically snubbing you in particular either, Lorab, and I had read your post. I just chose to give my own POV without citing anyone else. It wasn't a directed snipe or me ignoring you. It was me speaking my mind.

You also seem to think your statement is both too similar and directly contradictory to mine. They both can't be true.

I never said I wanted BTSC with you. Each of our BTSC is separate with a person. Eloh said she wanted it with you. That I am also having BTSC with Eloh is irrelevant.

So the real tally is:

INH:
1) Speedchuck
2)

Speedchuck
1) Lorab
2) INH

DrWilgy
1) Lorab

Elo:

Wilgy, are you feeling the same love connection that I am tonight?

Well, there's your problem. Lorab, Elo, and Wilgy are having some kind of love triangle BTSC situation, leaving me and Speedchuck out in the cold.

Aggro 1: High, Low, Block, High, Block, Low, Block, Block (INH)

Taking Aggro 1 into battle against S~V~S.

I also need one more BTSC partner for tonight. Any takers?

@Wilgy and @INH: Do either of you still have your extra fish? Would you please consider giving it to Golden ASAP?

Unfortunately, I do not still have mine. However, if I receive an extra fish as a result of my fishing today, I'll give it to Golden.

Jeff, is it possible for one fighter to take on two opponents?
no, every player will be slotted in.

If a tribe gets to 4 points before the 5th bout, the 5th-7th bouts will not happen

We need to organize who on the tribe isn't poisoned or has some kind of strength bonus, rank them first, and the people who are poisoned last in order to ensure that if we kick ass and take names during the competition, the sick peeps can be spared the energy sink.

My Stats:

15 Energy, 9 Thirst, and 7 Hunger

I figure that's decent enough where I can afford to participate in today's challenge.

SIGNING UP FOR TODAYS CHALLENGE, JEFFREY

When it comes to challenge strategy, I think putting all of the blocks last could be too easily anticipated by the opposing tribe. I almost feel like randomizing the options and being intentionally unpredictable could work in our favor. I want to hear what people think before deciding anything, of course.

Also, does anyone want to talk to me tonight? I've got two open BTSC slots, and nothing to do this weekend.

I'm so sorry!!! Do you know how we can treat it?
No. I'll lose hunger thirst and energy more quickly without it being treated.

I've got it too, unfortunately. I'm pretty sure it was a result of the Night 2 poll, which listed food poisoning as an option.

Lame.

Wilgy, I said last night in the chatzy with me, you, and Golden, that I wouldn't be voting for either of you today.

Are you releasing me from this promise?

My priority with this vote is keeping the tribe strong. And when I say strong, I don't just mean in challenges. I'm talking about people who will stick with this tribe through swaps, merges, and whatever tomfoolery Scotty throws our way.

That's what I'm going to base my vote on today.

I'm willing to try a BLACK ROCK based plan.

Hopefully, it doesn't end with anyone getting blown up.

Speaking of energy, voting sustenance in the poll. That's what you need to achieve anything else in life.
Hope you're ready to step up next challenge man.
Speaking of stepping up, how's about you explain what happened with the puzzle, like you said you were going to do several pages ago?

I wouldn't mind having BTSC with you, DH, and with anyone else who requests it of me.

Mainly, I'm just lonely.

Elohcin wrote:Would anyone like to share if they gained BTSC with someone and who those BTSC teams are?

I didn't gain BTSC with anyone.

WINNER IS US!

I'm 100% on board with sticking together, and I think our tribe is pretty kickass.

@Jeffrey: I'm choosing the Willpower option for both Levels 1 & 2.

SIGNING UP FOR LEG FOUR

Wilgy already finished Leg 1.

I guess this challenge could come down to what posts Scotty decided to read. Neither mine nor Opt's were bolded, but my throw was.

Well, we could use Opt Outside for shooting, inh, and use you in leg 4? She's already given instructions to shoot 5 heavy balls... we could use this now?

I guess. I'd like to hear something from Probst-probst on this whole kerfuffle.

Linki: If it makes you feel better DH, I feel pretty damn useless too right now.

Wait, am I locked out of competing in Leg 2?

insertnamehere wrote:shoots a heavy ball

How did mine, Lorab, and Elo's throws fare?

I guess we're now waiting on the one true Scotsman himself.

shoots a heavy ball

If Wilgy is on top of Leg 1, I'm more than happy to help out Opt with Leg 2.

I agree with Opt and Golden that starting with 3 or 4 heavy balls before transitioning to medium/small balls is the way to go in terms of conserving energy.

Now, about the "activity" poll in this thread. I'm assuming fishing, fire starting, or shelter building will help the entire tribe's stats, while possibly decreasing the stats of the person doing the work.

The "walking around locations" seems transparently Hidden Immunity Idol based. If anyone chooses those options, they're probably searching for an advantage, which is something to keep an eye on.

Taking a nap seems like a good choice for people who work their ass off in the challenge and at camp. It could allow their stats to regenerate.

If we win the challenge or go to Tribal, we'll get fire, so making fire now seems pretty useless. I'd also like to wait until we can get some fishing gear to go full hog on that too.

I'm gonna do what every Survivor player does first: build a shelter. Hopefully, we don't have to sleep with the insects tonight.

I agree with our fearless leader that he should be the one handling the puzzles. Dude has a devious ass mind when it comes to this stuff.

I'm good with doing either Leg 1 or 2, whichever one I can be slotted into.

Gotta admit, this could be an awesome tribe. Hopefully we just slay with these challenges.
