The Syndicate

Lorab, I don't know what you're thinking but I'm really glad we've gotten to be a team throughout this game. My only options are you and quin and I don't know exactly what to do yet but they only reason I'd vote for you would be if I felt like I needed to force a tie to make it fair and leave things to fate. I know all three of you feel you have to do what's best for your game at this point but I think loyalty goes along way with the jury and I thank all three of you for yours. We all got here with each other's help

Sorsha wrote:At this point don't we have to discard loyalty and vote out who we see as the biggest threat to our own win? That's how I see it.

What does that mean for you, sorsha? Yours is probably the most important vote. I'm happy to plead my case

LoRab wrote:So, are any of us leaning towards voting off a particular other of us? Do we want to think about making general pleas to each other? How do we want to do this? Quin addressed Sorsha about making a case for himself, but that sort of ignored the fact that we all have a vote this round. It's not just Sorsha's decision. (however easier this might be if it were...well, not for sorsha)

Hey, ScottyJeff: How are ties decided?

I'd love to have an open discussion about it and see where everyone is at. Everyone but sorsha only has two options. I don't know what to do between quin and lorab- I feel a lot of loyalty to both of you.

Process of elimination.

And I reject the idea that it was a game mechanic. The PM said "you were poisoned," which is an active thing, and exactly what was said in the PM when I was poisoned last time. It was not, "you got sick," which is something completely different. I assume someone found an item which allowed them to target people with poison. The only other possibility is that Golden poisoned me and was faking it himself, and that is not something I believe is in his character to do.

I thought based on Elo's revealed role that she was the one who poisoned you guys? After she was voted out one of her abilities was like "can poison the food twice"

Phew, what a close race!!! Nicely done, Sorsha.

Quin- if lorab and sorsha are already talking then you and me for btsc?

LoRab wrote:Just realized that I was so caught up in the challenge that I never congratulated all of us on making it to the final 4! Seriously, it hasn't been easy, and I think we all deserve to be here. Whoever of us makes it to the final 3 will deserve to be there and it will be a fair race to the end. Whichever of us is eliminated will be a difficult choice and it will suck, but whoever that person is (and if that is me), there is honor in having made it this far. And whoever is eliminated does have the power of the jury, which is not a power to be underestimated.

Well played to you all. You have my respect. High fives all around.

Well said! I'm really glad to be here with all of you- you're all great players. And you've all saved my neck in this game at some point. I respect you all enough to say that I know we have to vote against each other after this challenge, but whatever the vote is I won't be blindsiding or lying to anyone. I think you all deserve that. Good luck everyone!

Are you kidding me

Try two more times

You fasten 5 segments together, taking 1 minute & 40 seconds, then reach through the bars for the 1st key. It fails to reach all 3 times, costing you 15 seconds.

Try one more time.

Okay I'm going to build a pole 5 segments long and reach for the first key. I'll try a max of three times if it fails to reach and see how that goes.

Scotty wrote:ATTENTION: due to my limited availability, I have to extend this phase by 24 hours. I'm sorry if this screws up people's schedules but I'm not close to finishing this challenge

Oh thank god. I was going to have to try to do it all in an hour

Quin wrote:Hey Opt, who did you wind up taking with you on the reward? I got my hopes up but I haven't got a PM about it

No problems though.

I took you-Ii guess we'll see how that goes

Elo- I'm not sure if you caught what I said at the end of our chat or if you'd already gone to bed. I can't wait to play with you again. I had to vote for you tonight because you were the only one I hadn't made a long standing pact not to vote for this far down the line. But it's been a pleasure

Also WHO ATE DOODLE COME ON GUYS

Quin wrote:Poll speculation: Tomorrow will have elements that incorporate strength, nimbleness, puzzle solving etc elements, so you're just picking the type of thing you want the disadvantage in.

Hmm I hope it's not tricking us into choosing our weakest and then having that be the challenge we're forced to do... but Scotty wouldn't do that ....right Scotty? He's a nice guy....right?

Dude, we've been on each other's tails every time.

I get to share this reward. I don't know exactly what it will entail but my instinct is to take Quin because, as I said above, we've been neck and neck for these past several challenges and I think he's earned it.
Thanks for thinking of me. I'm also just that little bit shy every time I face you. In the totem challenge I lost to you by 2 energy

I'm so glad we decided to talk about that one rather than burning all our energy!

If this restores food or energy, I'm happy to spend the next few days doing the camp stuff like stoking the fire and any shelter repairs so that those I don't take on reward can spend time fishing and resting

I'll move to fire. I hate to ask, but if anyone has some food to give away in exchange that would be super helpful. Getting nervous
You could always eat Doodle.

I'm a vegetarian and even the thought of eating a virtual chicken is like... nahh

Just so y'all know, I'll be around in the morning and later at night but I'm taking a long day trip hiking tomorrow so I'll be a little MIA most of the day. Don't worry, I'll wear my survivor buff

Of course lorab and Elo I'd love to talk to you

Quin wrote:Anyway, I'm on fire duty. We definitely need at least three to get it going, so I'd appreciate the help.

I'm getting real down there on hunger but I can help if need be

Quin wrote:That vote hurt my soul. I am sorry Golden, and I'll explain myself properly when I can. What Opt said had a lot to do with it, though.

I've sent in my answers. I should've been paying more attention, because that was abysmal.

Yeah I take responsibility for it, for better or worse. Everything I said was true though.

Golden- truly sorry to see you go. I've loved playing with you and I respect your game hugely. Everyone here expected to be sitting at the end with you. You were at the core of everyone's alliance- that's why you were so good at this game and exactly why we had to get you out.

Elo- sorry to keep you in the dark. It had to be a btsc conversation.

Lorab- I'm sure you're upset by this. But golden made many many end game alliances (speedchuck was right...) and I don't know if ours would have been the one he honored. This was not my plan until recently and I never wanted to go against you. But I understand if you no longer trust me.

It's anybody's game now- good luck guys

Elohcin wrote:Opt, who do you plan on voting tonight?

I'm not sure, it's definitely getting hard

Good job on the puzzle, Golden. I'm getting low on hunger/thirst but I'll just need to try to replenish during the day tomorrow. I can't believe we didn't restart the fire

Yes, I realized I was wrong already and sent in a new request for sorsha and quin

LoRab wrote:
Golden wrote:OK, so someone thinks they have elo when they don't. Is it me, opt or lorab?
I think you're talking to Quin and Opt.

No I didn't have golden. I'll re-send in my btsc for quin and sorsha if sorsha is on board with that

Ah, I think she missed that I took her up on the offer so she agreed to lorab and golden. My bad. Sorsha we can do tonight then instead of tomorrow?

Sorsha wrote:Sure. Anyone else?

I committed to Elo and quin tonight but I'd love to btsc with you next opportunity we get- tomorrow night?

Opt_Outside wrote:Okay so... only two of us are building shelter right now. I think we need at least three to succeed. Would someone come over from the water well to help?

I thought we had discussed earlier that building a fire needed 2 people. For the shelter, from the host post, it sounded like it was getting damaged, but not that it had fallen apart--so maybe 3 will work. Also a risk that 1 person wouldn't be able to bring water back for other people (we've actually never had only 1 person go to the well). But I agree, probably better to put a third person on shelter (because that will have an impact on energy for all of us), and have 1 person on water--at least they will (hopefully) have water. Since we need to rebuild the fire in the rain, I think it best to have 2 people on that--we are in big trouble if we have no fire (including that none of us can eat).

Sounds good. I might have missed the fire part. Would Elo or sorsha be willing to jump from water to shelter?

Yeah I'm glad we ended up not draining our energy in that last challenge... this would be impossible
Not impossible...you would just start dipping into your hunger and thirst levels

Go home Scotty, you're drunk

Okay so... only two of us are building shelter right now. I think we need at least three to succeed. Would someone come over from the water well to help? Or the fire unless it needs two people?

Lorab, you have my word that I will not vote for you tonight

Ah, I know I've already posted but upon re-reading the thread it looks like lorab is more willing to do the puzzle than Elo.

SWITCHING ELO TO STRENGTH AND LORAB TO PUZZLE

FINAL ANSWER
strength- immunity
Quin
Opt
Elo

Puzzle- reward
Golden
Sorsha
Lorab

Unless Elo and Lorab want to switch- I just went by the last post in the thread. SPEAK NOW if you want to swap

AH! I just realized Scotty said 3pm est which is confusing since he says he's on pst.... I did the best with what I was given- hope everyone's okay with it

Puzzle - reward
Golden
Sorsha
Elo

Strength - immunity
Quin
Lorab
Opt

Elo, will you do the puzzle?

Elo and lorab sounds like you both want to do strength but there's only one spot for that left- can you two decide who's rather do the puzzle? And haven't heard from sorsha- would you be on board with doing the puzzle? I hope we can all end up happy with this result

Opt_Outside wrote:I'll put myself and quin for strength and golden for puzzle- what else?
I should do the strength challenge. I'm not great with puzzles.

Also, opt, I'd like BTSC with you tonight. Golden too, but your booked, I believe. Maybe I can talk with you again,Lorab. Or possibly Sorsha. Have we even talked yet?

Okay

I really think fire can start with two people- we gotta rebuild the shelter or we're likely to lose health from freezing in the rain! Can some people please come help?

So quin, can we do btsc?

And anyone else interested?

Quin wrote:So, we need to start the fire and rebuild the shelter today. Unless anyone is in dire need or food or rest can we all get on one of those two options today?

I'll help with shelter. I assume we need at least three or four there again

I'll put myself and quin for strength and golden for puzzle- what else?

Golden wrote:Opt... you know I'm one for the puzzle not one for the strength!

So I feel like it's the best bet to have puzzle be reward for those who are sick/hungry and don't want to spend the energy

Quin wrote:Woah.

I would have liked to work with svs longer, but when that big disagreement broke out I had to protect someone who's been loyal to me since day one. I'm sorry it played out as a blindside

Ohhh boy. Okay yup, lots of decisions. Please everyone weigh in! Who's good at puzzles vs strength? Who is sick/needing food? I will try to make it as fair as possible though everyone may not be exactly where they want to be...

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

I'm game, let's chat for sure

If I'm a captain tomorrow... pls forgive me for any challenging decisions I have to make! I will do my best!
