Survivor: Mafia [Day 1-3: Atamai Tribe]

#351

In that case, perhaps I should go toward the end.

If a team gets 4 points right off the bat, the 5th-7th bouts will not happen, and the players in those bouts will not be penalized energy

So Epi and other low energy people, don't sign up till the rest of us have. Maybe you want to find the two lowest (assuming everyone shows up by a reasonable time)?

Linki, yup!

I'd really like to know the effects of each choice. Does a nap replenish energy? Does it take away energy to stoke the fire? DFaraday, did your walk in the wading pool affect your stats at all? Quin, how about the felled palm tree - stats effect? Did you get anything out of it?

We need information!

The wading pool didn't affect my stats, I just found a shiny shell. But I guess since it was relaxing, my stats are 19, 10, 9.

My healing is a night power, so tonight I can target someone and their sickness will be removed. But it seems we've got an epidemic on our hands; I'm also sick. I guess the best order is Epi, SVS, then myself.

I am also participating in the challenge.

Also, once in the game I may restore 2 energy, 2 hunger, and 2 thirst to a player all at once.

#355

Put yourself before me in the healing queue, OK? We need a healthy doctor if we have an epidemic.

Also hit order:

Hit Low

It shall be done.

Also, I think at least one of us should choose one of the take a walk options each day. I get the feeling we can discover useful things that way, or there wouldn't be that many options that equate to doing nothing.

#357

Just an FYI: I only catch 3 fish if the fire is going so if someone doesn't stoke it, it might go out?

I'll stoke the fire.

#359

I can go for a walk if DF thinks those are useful.

As your doctor, I would recommend fresh air and exercise.

#361

hey kids

I have 17 energy and I'm fit as a fiddle, so I can pick up somebody else's slack if need be. I don't have an advantage for the challenge though.

@LC - nope.

I am participating twice, orders TBA

I take what I said back. My energy seems high for someone who used up 6 energy in a challenge on Day 1, and I haven't done/received anything else. At the very least walking might use 0 energy.

Long Con wrote:Sorry to hear that, guys. Time for DFaraday to earn his keep. DF, can you tell us all the details about healing?

I will sign up for as many slots in this challenge as I can. My Strength bonus means I roll d10 and d8, instead of d8 and d6.
I'm sorry, there was a host error: no player will be sitting- every player will be participating once, since you only have 7 players. I foolishly copy/pasted Mamana's clarifications in here. It should be fixed now.

Either way, I have Long Con signed up first.

oh, so I can't play for Epi who is sick?

I probably shouldn't be the one to play the second round because I don't have a bonus.

Long Con wrote:Wait - the first to 20 points wins. So maybe it makes more sense to use the hits first, and then block four times?
I know Epi is the Logic Master, but I tried a little bit with my inferior brain.

This works for me.

#365

I thought it made sense.

I don't think anyone is participating twice, Quin. And unless you have a Strength bonus like me... well, I would be the one participating twice, if such a thing were possible.

Correct, Epi still must compete.

I thought that since I had to go twice last time that it'd be the same since we still have one less member than the other tribe

#368

One of them is sitting out.

Nay, Popeye. One of their tribe is sitting and that is that

#370

Why did people get sick? Was it random? Did they do something wrong?

I already have ideas for a sickness-based baddie in A World Asunder. Thanks Scotty!

#372

Ok it looks like we are down to the last 2, Epi who was holding off until closer to the end so he had a chance at not having to compete, and Sawyer, who has not been in at all today, it would appear?

1. Long Con vs Opt_Outside
2. SVS vs INH
3. Sorsha vs speedchuck
4. DF vs LoRab
5. Quin vs DH
6. ______ vs ______
7. ______ vs ______

#373

How do you know the order that they're participating?

#374

Opt_Outside is gonna get my "Newbie Welcome" uppercut!

#375

It's in Scottys post here:

He is updating the original Challenge post

#376

Ooh, okay. I did figure it out but I got caught in linki and didn't realise

#377

The idea of using up your hits first seems like a good idea to me. I'll do that as well.

So if Sawyer no shows, Scotty will just assign him random moves?

S~V~S wrote:So if Sawyer no shows, Scotty will just assign him random moves?

I don't think that will be an issue.

#380

S~V~S wrote:So if Sawyer no shows, Scotty will just assign him random moves?

Nope! I will randomly slot him in if the order if there are still 2 slots left, and, if it gets to him, he will lose 3 energy and automatically lose. Unless the opponent also neglects to send in actions.

But that's not going to happen because I currently have all the actions waiting from the other team.

We seem to be having plenty of water, so I'm going to fish today, to get some extra food in the mix.

I'm assuming one person is enough to stoke the fire... is this sensible? Should we put two people on, to avoid waking up tomorrow morning to a "Sorry, your fire-stoker fell asleep in the night, and your fire went out!"

Maybe I should switch to fire.

#384

Does Sawyer have to bold that?

#385

S~V~S wrote:Does Sawyer have to bold that?

I mean....no, but that would have been helpful had I not been actively reading the thread

#386

Good I did not want to get hosed on a technicality lol

#387

I wonder if our sickies can infect their opponent? I mean, looking at the muddy picture of the fights... if your opponent is contagious, you would 100% definitely get sick.

#388

Someone infect me, and I'll use my one-shot lick ability to infect DH during our match.

...Wouldn't that be a great strategy?

#389

I think it has more to do with dice than proximity, but you never know!

Linki, indeed! Lick him!!

#390

It's like giving them smallpox-infected blankets.

#391

I'll get my blankets in at halftime.

And by halftime I mean when...half the time is...left.

I totally don't have a TV and electricity and the Magic game on in a secret part of the woods.

Atamai, I am hoping so hard that we win this thing! COME ON WE NEED IT!!!!!

#396

"C-C-C-COMBOOOOOOO"

Another day, another challenge, another virus.

Another virus? What the shit?

It seems that the rice wasn't fully cooked or something, because some, if not most of the tribe was reeling from a bad case of food poisoning. What horrid luck!

Around camp, the tribe still persevered.
DF poked the fire that was started last night, thanks to their flint.
Quin retrieved more water for the tribe, fulfilling another day of quenched thirst.
SVS, Sorsha and Long Con went out on a fishing expedition, bringing back 2, 3, and 3 fish, respectively. Thank goodness that fire was lit today!
While camp went about their chores, Epi and notsawyer went exploring around the island.

At the challenge, the players were designated to set up in bouts of mud wrestling with pads. Players strategized the best way to go about it, and decided to send their strongest first.
OptOut for Mamana and LC for Atamai. An imposing matchup. Both went at it fast and loose early, and seemed pretty evenly matched. LC never slowed down, however, and kept pummeling OptOut until she was inches from the edge. OptOut pushed right back with a low jab to trip up Long Con. As Long Con fell, he whipped one last high attack and barely knicked OptOut, making her lose her balance. Both combatants fell into the mud, but OptOut fell first. That was a close match. Atamai was up 1.
Next came SVS and INH. INH immediately swung high and caught SVS in the upper lip. It was all downhill for her, as she was pushed out rather suddenly. Score for Mamana! It was tied 1-1
speedchuck and Sorsha was a more measured fight. No one seemed to really have the edge, and no one was really landing any hits. After an exhausting bout, speedchuck swung low for a last attack, and Sorsha deftly stepped out of the way for speedchuck to fall into the mud.Atamai was up 2-1.
But that didn't stop LoRab from unleashing her fury on a stupefied DF. DF fell into the mud in dirty defeat. Tied again, 2-2.
DH put on his crown and stepped up to Quin. The arena was quite covered in mud at this point. DH covered himself in excess mud to appear more imposing. He was not more imposing. Without warning, Quin lunged at DH and pushed him back-first into the mud. Atamai is up 3-2! One more would win it!
Wilgy knew it was up to him to salvage the fight, up against notsawyer. But notsawyer had other plans. He took a few hits from wilgy right off, but Wilgy became worn down and while he gave it his all, it wasn't enough. He slipped and fell face first in the mud.
Atamai scores their 4th point and WINS THE CHALLENGE!

Atamai wins immunity, and will be safe from the vote tonight. They also won the reward offered yesterday in the form of fishing gear. Use it well, fellas!

It is now Night 3. Night will end at Midnight, EST.

#397

Damn hell yeah Atamai!!! YES! We got it.

#398

I gave that DH guy a thorough licking, don't you worry. DrWilgy would be proud.

#399

I am going to die.

Walking among the felled pines is useless.

#400

However, let's catch some fish.

There's a box of colored rocks at treemail! (Pick one per person please)
