The Syndicate

Oh, a one-timer, eh? Ok.

That surprised me as much as you, unfortunately.

Our choices, ladies and gentlemen. If more people were to say things, that would be nice. For the record, we ARE a tribe. We worked through this puzzle challenge to win FOR EACH OTHER, potentially trying to screw our old teammates over. Until teams switch again, we are a tribe, old allegiances be damned. We need to make a choice that helps us move forward as a tribe.

I would prefer to vote out redundant skills.

I can find out what's going on with the other tribe and potentially deceive them.

Have you done that before? Why didn't you get us advantages when you were on Atamai?

Golden wrote:LC, as someone who is friends with notsawyer - can you give me insight?

I'm not sure what kind of insight you're looking for, can you be more specific?

speedchuck wrote:I'll just say it.

Currently, I don't want to kick out:
Opt_Outside
Long Con
Golden - immune anyway
Sorsha

We need some people to come in here and help make a unanimous decision, else we may enter tomorrow with worse feelings brewing in the tribe. In the name of unity.

So, speedchuck, Epignosis, or notsawyer are the choices.

speedchuck wrote:Not appreciative of all the retained animosity. We're a tribe now. Deal with it.

I do NOT want to lynch Opt_Outside. He/She is gifted with strength. That could be valuable in challenges to come. Not to mention that they've been very involved since D1.

I am also gifted with Strength.

Epignosis wrote:Or lynch the person who suggested staying away from the edges.

Nobody guns for the edges.

Who is that, Epi?

notsawyer540 wrote:Too many people thought it was a race. Oh well. Vote for me. I don't have time to keep up with multiple games any more, and even though I was looking forward to this one the most, I'm least invested in it at this point. I wish you guys the best.

Dude...

...are you sticking around The Syndicate for a bit at least?

To everyone: This guy's a friend I met in Real Life. Want him to stay.

Oh no, they kicked our asses! Damn yo.

I have the day off tomorrow so worry not!

Come on Scotty Probst! Let's get some o' dem results! I hope the waiting period here indicates they took a lot longer to look.

I will enter speedchuck and Sorsha for BTSC then.

Lets hope we win the reward.

Epi, if you haven't picked yet, can I suggest you help with the shelter? It took three last time.

Sure I can, as long as somebody feeds me. I'm a growing boy.

Didn't you eat quite a bit last night?

I hope not. My hunger went down.

Beautiful, congrats Golden!

Linki: Yes

1x1 could be anywhere. I am fine with random guesses. If you think it's next to something, that can be your random guess. Or, use your own logic. We can't know what they would have done.

HIT!

You uncovered their shovel.

This means there are two items placed next to each other right there so we should look at the top either horizontally or vertically

I love being right.

WOW nice choice on B7 Sorsha - it would have been so easy to avoid that spot based on A7 and C7 being empty.

I will not send any in as long as there are active people. Too many cooks spoil the broth, and the thread gets confusing. Remember, this is not a time-limited thing, it's a #-of-guess thing. So let's not go all willy-nilly.

Opt_Outside and I have BTSC today. Does anyone else. We don't know why.

I don't think we need to plan our search so much. I think a "good spread" is the best way. Don't search in a clump.

I don't know how valuable it would be for speedchuck to send in preselected choices. Speed, if you won't be here, it's ok, those who are here can carry on a logical search and react to the revealed map in sensible ways. I will be here.

The first day, we failed to build a fire, and I was the only one on shelter, and I didn't get it complete. Two people got water, so that was fine, and two people fished and caught minimal fish.

Good idea.

So, on day 1, sig didn't show up, and when we lost the Immunity Challenge, he was an easy vote.

Day 2 was fun. My strategy was for as many people as possible to go Yellow Rock until the latest possible time, and then switch to black. Everyone choosing black was the generally accepted 'good strategy', and obviously you guys were smart about it as well. MP07 volunteered to be the one voted out. He replaced in, but was busy enough to not mind.

Day 3 three people got sick: DFaraday, Epi, and S~V~S. DFaraday claimed he could heal people, and so he was supposed to heal Epi last night. Did it work, Epi? Epi was in the worst shape, so we scheduled him to fight last, in the hopes he wouldn't have to fight at all. Those fights were super exciting to read, weren't they? It was a really close one, or so it sounded.

There is a 8x8 grid (A1-H8) and 5 items to hide:
- 1x2 shovel
- 1x1 pot
- 2x2 tribal sign
- 1x3 oar

- 1x2 hatchet

[A8] [B8] [C8] [D8] [E8] [F8] [G8] [H8]

Here is one suggestion for how to hide our items. Avoids the middle, mostly avoids sides, leaves a big patch with nothing, no items touching each other.

Open to alterations, of course. Just getting the ball rolling.

Did you run into any conflicts from it? Like, what if I don't pick you after you said I'm your second choice?

I would love to have a summary of Mamana's early days - I will attempt to fill you in on Atamai's first three days as well. How open have you been with your abilities and/or roles?

What happened to your shelter, that you had to rebuild it?

Linki: and hey, speedy! What's up with the public BTSC choices? Atamai never went for that, although I personally was very open about who I had BTSC with.

Whoa, hey Golden! You Mamana types just publicize your BTSC choices? Why speedcchuck and Sorsha, why not good ol' Long Con?

Thanks, Opt, for the strategies! That 1x1 pot is definitely the primo prize to hide or find. Hiding in clusters has some advantages, but I think it's more risky than anything. Once they get a hit, they will probe around it to uncover the item, making it more likely that they'll find both.
