The Syndicate

Woah.

Sure. My other slot is free if anybody wants it, then.

LOVE ME

At the very least it beats saying nothing and just letting the host post speak for me. Even if I sound mean.

I'm trying my best not to alienate anyone, because there really isn't a whole lot of difference in where player A stands next to player B in my eyes. But at the same time, I have to vote and I want to be open about my feelings.

I also wanted to say this much earlier, but real life stuff got in the way.

Thinking about my vote, here's where I stand:

I'm making this vote based on the relationships I've formed in the game and my interactions with people. What I've decided is that I don't want to vote for Sorsha. She gave me fish at the very beginning of the game without me even asking for it. I've been wanting to reciprocate that kindness for a while, and here's where I'll do it.

LoRab, you went against me when the tribes swapped. I can understand your thought process for doing so, but if I didn't have an idol, I'd be out right now. That's a huge factor into my vote. This isn't a guarantee that I'm going to vote for you, because Eloh fits the profile just as well. If people are willing to go there, that's what I'll do. But otherwise, I am voting for you over Sorsha.

Yes

Papaya.

Is there a final 3 or final 2 for this game, Probst?

You said Sorsha, apologies. I'll think about it, but I'll tell you what decision I come to because I don't think either of you are deserving of being blindsided.

Or were you fighting for a Sorsha vote? I don't recall you explicitly saying, correct me if I'm wrong.

LoRab wrote:I still have hopes that enough of you will see my side of things here.

In the meantime, if I should go, this will make for a very interesting decision when it comes time for a jury vote. I hope that there is someone that I have any respect left for who I can give a vote to. That list is getting shorter.

(in game. love and respect you all out of game)

Loyalty is important to me, and SVS has had my back this entire game, so I don't have any intention of voting for her today. If you want to make a case on somebody else, go for it.

I'll do it, unless anyone has a really strong case for being captain instead.

On that note, the whole 'noise in the jungle' night poll kind of fell flat. I went in but didn't get anything out of it. Anyone else?

I did.If you recall, I was the first one out of the jungle in the post. I got a pendant that allows me to give an anonymous synopsis to the thread. I told I think Opt and Sorsha about it, but obviously never used it. I think the point of it was to get BTS info into the thread discreetly, but I have never been one for discreet.

Oh, alright. I was wondering about the point of that poll.

And as for the vote, I think it's just about choosing a captain for what's probably a reward challenge tomorrow. I doubt it'll only be one captain, so my best guess is the top two voted will be captains, take their pick of the players left and then face off in a challenge for a reward. The leftover will probably take their pick of a team and win the award alongside them if they win.

I'm expecting a reward challenge of some sort tomorrow, going off of this poll.

Maybe it's food poisoning from uncooked fish or something.

Golden and LoRab, were you both told you were 'poisoned' specifically? Or could you just be sick from the rain?

I'm good.

Also, if it was raining, why the hell did we need to go to the well anyway? Surely we could have just stood in the rain with our mouths open.

I don't think the amount of people who go to the well actually has an effect on how much thirst is regained. 5 people went yesterday and I didn't get any extra.

Opt_Outside wrote:Well that's an interesting poll....

Aye.

Golden wrote:Well done Opt. The vote for you as a challenge beast was not misplaced lol.

Indeed.

I see spectators reading the thread and I'm just like...Do I give them a show? Nah.

You and me, quin!

If it's just the two of us, would you like to make this simple? How much energy do you have? I'd rather not exhaust my stats which I might want for a later challenge.

Haha I feel you... I have 19 energy with this bonus

I wonder if I believe you.

Yeah. I do.


*Does a flip off of the totem pole*

Not one for bargaining, huh?

Is this challenge just going to be me vs Opt then? Does it start in half an hour?

Golden wrote:I can't know everything, but I know LoRab has never petitioned me to get either DF or SVS out.

Nor to me.

LoRab, INH told me in BTSC the night DH got the boot that your intention as a Manama alliance was initially to take SVS and DF out first, in that order. Is this not true?

Golden wrote:Serious true story - there was a guy named Des back on RM that was so much fun and we all loved him. Then one day he just vanished. He'd been talking excitedly about what he was going to do the next day, he never showed back up ever. None of us had him on FB or anything yet. I'm still haunted by the thought that he died years later. I wish I knew!

The exact same thing happened on the site I came from and frequent. Someone disappeared out of nowhere after saying he was going camping for a couple of weeks. It's been 2 years.

I forgot what thread this was for a moment. I'm glad you just mean in the game. And I'm glad that didn't happen too!

Yes, I am also glad I didn't die in real life. That would have set me pretty far back in this game, I think.

I had a terrible thought this morning that this had started while I was asleep (i didn't check for it) and I would wake up a dead man.

Scotty wrote:As of right now, it appears only OptOut is participating in today's challenge. I think.

Maybe Quin.

Correct me if I'm wrong

Yes, me and my willpower bonus will be partaking in this challenge

this thread got spooky

I'm gonna win fo' sho'.

Who got sick?

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

Quin lost a few fingers at birth.

Yeah, because I was born with extra.

They're like $20 online. Do it

That's like half my bank account.

My mum yelled at me for drinking too much iced tea once. That's about the limit of her list of things she yelled at me about maybe doing some day.

It's important to realise that all of these questions were made completely in the spirit of the game. If you were voted to be dishonest, it's because people perceive you as dishonest in the game (and depending on how you interpret that, it could be a compliment). If you were voted to be unlikable, don't think for a second that it's because you're actually not liked. You're all my buddies. Everyone is friends here. Just in this game, maybe not so much.

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

Looks like that couldn't have come at a better time.

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

I kind of regret voting you for number 5

It's okay, I voted for me too.

I'm kidding, I'm too lazy to even vote.
