The Syndicate

What I'm saying is either vote for me and get me out or get one of the other people out and then vote for me so you have some insurance that they can't take over before the merger.

You would. If we eliminate the original tribe members, you'll go too

too* long

But vote for me if you want. As excited as I was for this game, it took to long to start and life has gotten in the way. Eliminating me will just take one thing off my plate.

Despite Opt_Outside's characterization, I am committed and I do care about playing this game. I haven't dropped the ball, and despite the fact that we were defeated, we still scored impressively on the challenge partially due to me. If you're from my original tribe, this is our one chance to ensure that we outnumber these guys till the merger.

Seriously? I said I'd be around throughout the day to check in but I didn't have a whole lot of time and that's why I weighed in on strategy before the challenge started. You're the one who just said "too many people thought it was a race" which is exactly why when I checked in I didn't want to start throwing a bunch of random guesses. I weighed in where I could. I threw one guess and it was a miss- by the time I refreshed the page people had covered all of the bases I was about to suggest. There were already too many cooks in the kitchen- as someone also already stated. What would you have preferred I do? Added 10 more unnecessary guesses to our score?

lol sorry. Now that I've seen your avatar I remember that. I literally just looked at your name and remembered you being here but not doing much. It's not personal, but it is in our best interest to vote for ya'll. Feel free to vote for me if you want though. I'm pulling kind of a dick move on you and don't really care if I get eliminated myself, but it's in the best interest of my original tribe members to get rid of the rest of you. You've been the enemy from day 1 after all. Nothing personal.

IDK who we'd vote out. But I have a couple Army buddies visiting for spring break and the only time I can come on here for the next week is after I drink them under the table.

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.

Yeah. I forgot the shovel was 1x2. In my head it was 1x3.

Actually C5 and C6 could be the sign. My bad.

Looks like we haven't hit their sign yet. After these confirmations, we should eliminate all the wide groups.

If we don't get confirmation on whether or not we've finished it off, we should hit above and below it.

Scotty, will we have confirmation that we've finished an item off?

Sorsha wrote:I think the diagonal plan is fine but once we get a hit shouldn't we try to uncover that item?

Yes. We go diagonally until we hit. Then we alternate between going vertically and horizontally around the hit till we've finished it off.

It's not a race; we just need to do it in less hits. The diagonal plan should cut our guesses in half if we stick to it.

Golden wrote:OK, we've had someone go consecutive on each, so break again?

Yeah. We should keep it to 4 or less at a time.

Is everyone in agreement that the diagonal lines across the grid are the best bet?

Correct

I think we should go with odd As, even Bs, odd Cs, even Ds etc. All but one of the targets takes up more than two squares, so this strategy has us aiming at half the squares.

We make the big "X" through the whole thing first and then we cover the rest of it by using diagonal lines. If we hit something, we try one more vertically then horizontally.
Is there a specific order you would like to go in? Otherwise I'm just going to go from left to right when determining your order

I was proposing it to the group so they can give some input. Those aren't the exact ones I want to go with, but I think the diagonal lines are a good idea.

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.

I say move the oar to the left one column, but otherwise I think it's good.
