The Syndicate

I can understand how the three votes plus the challenge questions compounded.

I have worked well with what I feel has been complete two-way trust and honesty with everyone left in the game. It doesn't matter who I vote for, it's going to suck, and it could well feel like a betrayal. So, I just want to say up front, no matter who I vote (at any vote from now on) please understand, I would gladly and willingly go to the end of this game with any of you.

Having said that, I have no idea exactly who I'm going to vote at this point.

I am not going to correct you. I am not playing.

I wish no rain so I could have had btsc with you and told you, but things don't always work out in this game.

I can easily see how the 'in case he had an idol' thing got lost in translation though. The point wasn't that he would play it and df went home. The point was to make sure he didn't play it.

S~V~S wrote:I was told there were going to be three votes for a second party in case INH had an idol. I hope someone steps forward to verify that I was told this.

Sure. We had to make sure inh had no reason to play one if he had it. Even if inh had one, I worked hard to make damn sure he had no inkling he was going.

You wanted speed to vote speed? Think about that. Inh and speed were a pair, neither of them were voting speed.

S~V~S wrote:He also said the reason he asked to be voted out was that he was demoralized for receiving three votes during the INH lynch for no reason.

Had he not received those votes, I would not be saying any of this now.

She wanted him gone back then, even before the poisoner was gone.

Lorab wasn't any of those votes. Two of them were inh and speedchuck, who weren't going to vote for each other.

There's no btsc tonight elo. Silly rain.

My impression was that df asked to be voted out. I don't think it's fair to accuse lorab of voting out the doctor to get a private food source, although elo had been open with me about the fact df was her enemy and she could feed people without df around.

S~V~S wrote:What an LC like thing to say.

Guess what? I got sick in the night. I guess I am on water duty.

I tried to copy dfs ability in case the rain made someone sick, but I didn't get him. Sorry.

Darn, wasted idol! Better safe than sorry.

I've seen more ways of wearing them in the show than I can count.

Quin lost a few fingers at birth.

It's not the kind of buff I normally hear associated with hiking.

This is why I like you a lot already.

Well, if it were my mother answering this question, she would tell you never to go near or in water during rain cause you will surely get struck by lightning and die.

She had a loooong list of things that, if you did them, you surely would die. I have done most of them and I have not died, but you never know.

Sounds like my mother

I'll take that as a compliment!

I'm cool with everyone. I really do hope no feelings are hurt by that challenge. The only way I could answer them was by roleplaying my character within the context of the game instead of answering as 'myself, since otherwise many questions had no answer at all. I'm sure that's how it must be on the real show as well.

S~V~S wrote:I think there were alot of hurt feelings over this, and I am sorry that that is the case. If I had any part in the hurt feelings (I am still not 100 sure how this game worked re the plate smashing; I was trying to win by guessing the answers most people would pick in my opinion) I am sorry.

If it makes anyone feel better, I named myself as the one who who thinks they are less popular than they are, and I named myself as the one most people would thinks as dishonest. I also named myself for another negative category. I viewed you all totally as competitors, and nothing personal was meant or intended, and I assume that is the case straight across the board for all of us.

We're playing a game

Heh, I voted for myself in some of them too, and especially with the second half where I was guessing what everyone else would say.

speedchuck wrote:So I'm the most dishonest. Would like some explanation for that one, pls and thx.

And man, Golden and SVS are out to get me. I suppose that's to be expected, considering that Golden has separate alliances with 80% of the playerbase, but still. Cold, bro.

You came at me first, chucky boy. I could have voted you out when LC went out but I had your back instead. And I got repaid by you throwing my name out there. So when you go home don't forget - I didn't start the fire.

Quin wrote:I voted Opt for 'most likely to go on an immunity spree' too

So did I!

I don't blame anyone for smashing my plates first. Whoever opt out first was probably doomed!

I'll admit I voted for you for 'who should have been voted off' df, because we were so shocked you survivedback on our old tribe after you slept through the challenge lol.

LoRab wrote:Damn--for a heck of a lot of right answers, I got a whole lot of plates smashed. Thanks, Opt and SVS.

You were on fire in that challenge! Opt cleaned me out though

This is a rough one to lose.

Wow. Damn for being out first.

Neat. I kind of regret voting you for number 3 now.

I kind of regret voting you for number 5

It looks like there are enough water gatherers to fix us.

Quin wrote:Not excluding myself at all, but someone needs to stoke the fire today.

I'll do it.

Quin wrote:i just voted golden for all the bad ones

Touché

S~V~S wrote:Yeah my first thought reading them was, is he gonna post the answers? Because yeah pretty negative.

It's true to the show, though. Let's just say, I think this is a great bunch of people, so some of my decisions are quite arbitrary here. It's designed to break us down and make us suspect each other, don't forget that. If someone gets the 'most votes' for something negative, it could well just be two arbitrary ones.

I've tried to do it in the spirit intended, which is the fun of the game, and take it with tongue firmly in cheek.

Lol all of these questions are so mean spirited. We already voted out all the socially inept villains! If only DH was still around

Golden wrote:OK. Is anyone super-low? If we have some water-gatherers today we might get it back up again.
Yes mine is low, so water gathering is good.

Also BTSC is good. Anyone else want to talk?

Quin and sorsha nabbed me. Lets you and me talk tomorrow.

Quin confirmed.

OK. Is anyone super-low? If we have some water-gatherers today we might get it back up again.

Damn. Somehow my thirst levels went down two since yesterday despite collecting water. I'm not sure what I should be doing about it though. Collecting water is the only thing that makes sense. Do other people know how to get thirst levels back up? Has anyone else got thirst issues?

linkie - I guess we all do... is it possible that the fire went out?

Also, congrats everyone on making the top half!

I'd like to reconnect with some people I haven't for a while. Sorsha and one of SVS/quin, if you guys are up for it?

speedchuck wrote:And when it comes to the tribal, it looks like OptOut... opted out.

good on her.

I still wish we knew what words we each had that were unique. I thought I'd be in with Portends, but I think the letter P was probably difficult to protect full stop.

Aha! That was the winning strategy after all! Congrats opt.

Right? I think I figured out I had a potential of 141 points. I briefly considered skipping all, or at least some, of the 8 letter words...alas.

I considered going for a bunch of 5 letter words and forgetting the longer ones too. It's hard to know, though.

It would be good to see which words we each had that were unique, scotty

Apparently plenty of people had no trouble finding eight letter words, since I would have scored more if you didn't

Elo and inh, up for btsc?

Ha! Lorab and I are on the same wavelength!

Scotty wrote:"Ahhh I don't need an auction- I just bought a house!" Screamed Golden.

Never a truer word spoken. Just went unconditional.

LoRab, did you put in your btsc PM? I definitely put in for you, but don't have the btsc yet.

Opt_Outside wrote:Does one person getting water bring enough back for everyone? I can move my vote somewhere now that I've got some energy

I haven't figured that one out. I could defenitely use more water. I was hoping for an energy drink in that auction.

Nah, it's svs. Sorry, my mistake.

Ooooh it's cause of the FIRST 340 bid, I get it.

Lorab bid 400

Surely to lorab, yeah? I think so.

The Man Behind the Curtain.

Ben Linus.

cheers Quin!

Opt_Outside wrote:200

You only got $180

Go LoRab and SVS, go!

Hey, Quin, can I get $20 bucks?

Haha, hilarious with inh!

People who had planned btsc with him... better go somewhere else!

Good luck LoRab! I hope you get some good food.

I've had no offers so I'm eating my steak and drinking my wine.
