Maybe they'll all be crushed by a piano at their tribal council.

Glad we won guys. Let's keep that shit up!

Does it? I'm interested in opinions.

Haha, I've put you down days.

Day 1 it was LC and MP
Day 2 it was LC and SVS

Even though I didn't put down SVS the first time, we got BTSC on night 1. It didn't amount to anything though cause we were both busy.

Having experienced all the things in the poll, I would say food poisoning.

We have three people building the shelter. Should we move one to the fire or water?

If we can't have the fishing gear, nobody can!

Hey guys. I was on my way out the door earlier when I got the email saying that I had a new PM from Scotty. I ran back to my computer and checked it and Eloh had changed to black around the same time as speedchuck. I responded saying that I was switching to black, but I was running late so I didn't really have time to post it in here. Mine is currently on black, and I'm assuming that the timing means that they all went black in the other tribe.

I chose "sustenance" iirc. I got extra food from Sorsha, but I don't think the two are related.

I'll be gone until about an hour before EOD because I have a night class, but that should give me plenty of time to get settled and make it back on here to switch to black.

I choose the yellow rock

That's 11pm in my time zone. I should be up pretty close to that.

Linki: Isn't end of day like midnight or something EST?

Fishing gear should yield us more food in the long run and I haven't seen anything saying that we CAN switch. I think I should go with black just to be safe. But we're a team, so if you guys say yellow then that's what I'll do.

Do we know when this ends? I can't see an end time for the poll and I'm only home a few more hours.

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.

That was my original plan, but LC brings up a good point about choosing yellow and switching to black at the last minute. What if that's what the other team is doing? We've already seen two yellows from them. Do I play it safe and go black or do I go with my original idea and choose yellow so the rest of you get food?

Elo has selected the yellow rock

Long Con wrote:Did anyone get a result from the night poll?

What do you mean? All I got was a PM with my updated stats and another with the info about being able to see my opponent's choice in the challenge.

I agree with Epi on this one. We should base our strategy on what we know. Not what we think we might not know.

Just realized I didn't explain why I'm waiting for Elo instead of just going with black. If Elo chooses yellow as well, I can go with yellow to get us more food and we'll still be ahead one point from MP choosing black.

As long as everyone else on our team chooses black, the other team can't get ahead or tie it up.

Since we know speedchuck used the yellow rock, MP07 should go black to get the point from that, I should still wait on Elo to make a decision, and anyone who can't see what their opponent used should choose black.

Epignosis wrote:If we go all black and the other tribe uses even one yellow rock, we get the fishing gear and the other tribe gets absolutely nothing. Right?

Yes, and the person on our side whose opponent picked the yellow rock would walk away with one food and one point, giving us a victory of 1-0.

It would only make sense if we had all held out until our willpower people got their messages imo. I'll report back in here as soon as I get my PM.

Also, I'm hungry.

I have one to Quin and one to notsawyer because I wanted them to feel loved I could keep one for myself and I will probably in the future but I decided to see how it goes sharing. They both participated in the challenge. Maybe Epignosis can share with you?

Thank you!

So we are all choosing the black rock for the challenge? My willpower advantage tells me which one my opponent has before I make my choice, and I haven't gotten anything back yet.

I'm helping with the shelter.

Sorry I couldn't find time to log back in. Still got some Midterms this week that I was studying for.

Damn. Let's trim the fat and try to be better organized next time.

You all must agree on which option you will take. You all are completing both parts of this leg.

So do we need 4 people doing each option?

For my part in Part 2, I choose Option B

No, I believe it's one person for each leg. You misunderstand. Or I do.

That's why I asked.

Scotty: If we each need to complete only one option, then I will stick with my original. If not, I will go with both of the ones I named.

I will do leg 4, level 1, option A to take advantage of my willpower bonus

Well there are 9 of us and 9 total actions required for the challenge. We should do our best to organize by our strengths and weaknesses. I for example have a willpower bonus, so number 4 would be best for me.

Read my rolecard again and I should do the fourth leg. Also, I'll help get water. Dehydration is a killer and we'll do better than the other tribe if we're not thirsty.

Hey tribe! I've got 20 energy and I'm strong as shit.
