I could take one.

Great job, team (besides me)!

As your doctor, I would recommend fresh air and exercise.

Sorsha wrote:Just an FYI: I only catch 3 fish if the fire is going so if someone doesn't stoke it, it might go out?

I'll stoke the fire.

Also hit order:

Hit Low

Hit High

It shall be done.

Also, I think at least one of us should choose one of the take a walk options each day. I get the feeling we can discover useful things that way, or there wouldn't be that many options that equate to doing nothing.

Also, once in the game I may restore 2 energy, 2 hunger, and 2 thirst to a player all at once.

I'd really like to know the effects of each choice. Does a nap replenish energy? Does it take away energy to stoke the fire? DFaraday, did your walk in the wading pool affect your stats at all? Quin, how about the felled palm tree - stats effect? Did you get anything out of it?

We need information!

The wading pool didn't affect my stats, I just found a shiny shell. But I guess since it was relaxing, my stats are 19, 10, 9.

My healing is a night power, so tonight I can target someone and their sickness will be removed. But it seems we've got an epidemic on our hands; I'm also sick. I guess the best order is Epi, SVS, then myself.

I am also participating in the challenge.

I didn't pick anybody.

While BTSC is a great thing to have when you are a civilian in a Mafia game (which this, properly speaking, is not), I completely forgot about it here with everything else that was going on.

I also forgot to send it in yesterday.

I'm glad that MP is willing to be the sacrifice the Island demanded, since I don't think any of us really deserve to go at this point.

You all should keep me around in case anyone gets sick. I'll heal you.

I'm arachnophobic and you guys were right.

I feel better about changing now that I see the other team's treachery. I'm switching to black now.

I will do yellow for now, but if you guys insist that we all do black I'll change later.

I think you should choose yellow to gain food for our entire group, since MP already gave us a leg up with his black rock.

Epi makes sense. I'm just trying to think of a way to maximize our food potential. If this were an immunity challenge, I'd absolutely be fine with black across the board. But since it seems we're just playing for a means to gain more food, I'm thinking a combination of yellow and black would be the optimal means of attaining maximum food (though obviously the tricky part is knowing when to do which).

S~V~S wrote:Wow that was a shit role to lose. And only 5 people voted.

I will join you on the shelter Faraday.

So this is basically a random game of chance? should we discuss rock selection?

Scotty Probst said, "Five votes, that's enough." I inferred that there were more, but they were superfluous at that point.

I'm not sure it's worth it to go with black every time. The only thing we win for this challenge is fishing gear, which I assume allows us easier access to food. But some yellow votes could rack up a ton of food for our party anyway, so I'm thinking a mix might be the best solution, especially if they have a spy and can thwart at least one black vote.

More than one player, I mean.

I'm going to work on the shelter. Since we need more than one apparently, someone ought to volunteer to do that as well.

Quin wrote: Great. I'm not home. I'll read up later.

It looks like all we have to do today is send a PM. I should be able to manage that.

Also, I want to mention that I seem to have no advantage in any challenge type. But if any of us get sick I can help.

"Each additional step costs 30 seconds"

I thought it was game-based time.

I stayed on wading pool (incidentally, I found a shell while wading, but it doesn't seem like it gives me any benefits). I think Scotty said I took a nap because of how long it took me to PM, because I thought the time was symbolic (the activity said things like "lose 30 seconds for each additional step taken to solve"). I didn't realize h ow long it took me irl would count against me.

Long Con wrote: That's Die Hard 3 though!

Yeah, whoever posted it messed up. Also, it's weird that Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson haven't done more movies together.

Here's some motivation to get you through this tense time crunch.

Quin wrote:Now I'm glad I didn't do the water puzzle. I've never seen Die Hard.

Watch the first one for sure. It's a Christmas Classic.

Good job dude. Can you tell us about the water puzzle, for our curiosity?

Let's just say I consulted Die Hard 3. This one had more steps though.

Consulting Die Hard movies to solve problems is awesome. Let's be bros.

Ok , I won't vote you out.

Good Luck

Thanks. I'll do my best for our team.

It sounds like more of a logic exercise, which I'm better at than straight riddles.

S~V~S wrote:Are you good at riddles?

I'm alright. I can go ahead and try that one.

S~V~S wrote:So Faraday posted in another thread recently but did not come here?

Also no signs of sig.

Grrrr.

I'm still trying to figure this game out. Sorry if I'm not active enough yet.
