The Syndicate

Oh, OK. Makes sense.

B2, if it hits There are no 3 in a row horizontal items are there? Oar is three vertical , right? A3 if it doesn't.

Someone should re ready to go ASAP after Scotty gives us our results.

We were fairly open in a different way, which facilitated our success as well

The other tribe has our fisherman. That is a blow. LC and Sawyer both have strength bonuses. We have a doctor.

I have BTS with LoRab right now, but she has not been in.

Linki, I think so, although alot of us kept forgetting about it.

If no one objects, I'd like BTSC with Eloh and SVS tonight.

Oh! Open that way.

I had BTS with Quin & Sawyer Night One, LC day Two, I think (we both picked "trust" in the poll, we think, which is how we got day BTS). After that I either did not get my picks, or did not send them in. I forgot once, and sent them in during the wrong cycle another.

Sure, I will send you in, DH. Not sure yet,maybe Faraday for my second.

C3

linki, I know, I was thinking aloud

OK, C4 was a miss. Trying to decide vertical or horizontal.

Linki, I think so, although alot of us kept forgetting about it.

Yay Eloh is here!

Yeah sure. I figured you, me, INH.

I was going to diag across Q4.

Dialing in.

OK, so you start, make a lucky guess in Q1, I suppose. I've got a reply window open. It looks like INH is here, Good Luck us

OK since it will not be rapid fire we will have time to discuss moves, so that helps.

OK, I will take quad 4 to start, but can do more if needed. What should we throw out for our first guess?

Stop one done. Yay us

OK, I will be here this after noon. I can take a quadrant or eighth, whatever way it is divided.

Random placement within quadrants, or patterns like diagonal (that was how I played Battleship, I went diagonal within quadrants and I won ore often than not)?

No worries Scotty

Works for me, I don't see any other method/placement that would be better.

INH was in here before, but he's gone now. Quin is sleeping in Australia. I know Faraday has church type stuff Sunday AM as does Eloh.

I am OK with this arrangement, if you want to post it.

Liniki, hi Faraday.

I would hope we get up to the minute updates but if not, that would make me very cautious about my picks until an update was issued.

Oh agreed, I meant the first round only. Like if we have eight sectors, shoot out 8 picks, or maybe 4, one in each quadrant then separate the subsectors. Then do one by one from there.

ebwop, like can we make a guess in each of 4 grids for the first round of guesses, then wait for confirmation? That will keep guesses down, but spread them out/

So we will need a ringleader to redirect in linki. That should be you, from my experience with you in D & D, you are really good at tactical adjustment.

Agreed re the grid. Although that will depend on how many are here. If worse come to worst, we can even do it with only 2-3 people here. Do we have to wait for the host to reply to each post before we make another?

So where do we hide them? That is not my forte, logic puzzles etc. I am fairly random that way.

As for guessing, depending on who is here I guess each just goes either down or across rows? Like A1, B1, C1 or A1, A2, A3? Do we need a ringmaster, to redirect the search if there is a hit?

[A1] [B1] [C1] [D1] [E1] [F1] [G1] [H1]
[A2] [B2] [C2] [D2] [E2] [F2] [G2] [H2]
[A3] [B3] [C3] [D3] [E3] [F3] [G3] [H3]
[A4] [B4] [C4] [D4] [E4] [F4] [G4] [H4]
[A5] [B5] [C5] [D5] [E5] [F5] [G5] [H5]
[A6] [B6] [C6] [D6] [E6] [F6] [G6] [H6]
[A7] [B7] [C7] [D7] [E7] [F7] [G7] [H7]
[A8] [B8] [C8] [D8] [E8] [F8] [G8] [H8]

I did play on RM. I think we were the same tribe even.

I don't recall everyone, just me, Tranq and Jules, really. And Layla.

But the way that worked, alternating answers, it looks to be the same here? So if we set up an answer stream, we can get off alternating answers set up in advance depending on how many are in thread at one eastern. I will be here.

Linki, 2 more competitive people.

Awesome. A spread sheet will be good. Did you play the Survivor game at RM? I am thinking this will be like that, we have our guess order set up in thread, and take turns calling out selections?

I would also avoid 4 and 8, I might be expected by Golden to pick those numbers.

It means someone might know what to do here. Epi knew right off the bat what to do in the stone challenge, he linked to it, but I have heard him mention Prisoners Dilemma before. Seems someone on your side did as well, since we did the exact same thing.

And nice to see you. We are a team, not a one man band, so lets all get this done

And the Googled things I found did not readily apply.

http://www.wikihow.com/Win-at-Battleship

I found a few others, but they seemed either the same as this, or the squares strategy, which would only work really if the targets were multispace targets.

This also presumes multispace targets, which we won't have. As a logic puzzle of sorts, Epi will probably be all over this.

I will be around on and off through the rest of the AM, and should be around for the challenge.

Or I could, you know, Google it.

I am sad we lost Sorsha, but glad we kept Faraday.

Are you still sick, Faraday? I think I still am; my PM didn't say I wasn't. Wonder if any of the nubs are?

Linki, can you link it? Like Epi did with the Prisoners Dilemma?

I am gonna Stoke the fire.

They probably will not have Golden either since he is in NZ.

I have to reread all of this after coffee.
