@Eloh, of course I'm smart, what exactly do you disagree with me on? that I'm unlucky ;^)

I'm gonna need everyone on the same page here. Wilgy barely escaped tribal after some very uncool shenanigans. I'm a benevolent King, but not one that suffers many insults or fools. Wilgy, as part of the tribe you're part of what gives us the win or the loss, so I'm willing to do a few things if you are.

The Anti-Wigly rules are temporarily lifted n the following circumstances:

Wilgy participates in challenges to the best of his ability
Wilgy provides food, fire, and shelter to the best of his ability
Wilgy is honest and forthright towards the tribe

If you break any of those rules, or I smell a whiff of you might possibly break one of them, or you misread one of them, or you so much as think sideways, and it's your ass.

Kay :^)

I will fight in spite of my illness. I think I can pull this off.

I think it's also important to consider the defensive inverse orders i.e.
Block, Low, Block, High, Block, High, Block, Low.

In regards to this challenge I think we need to focus on our meta reads of our opponents. i.e. If you were against me would you expect me to be aggressive or defensive? If I saw I was facing myself I'd block 2, attack, block 1, attack, block 1, use remaining attacks.

@Wilgy and @INH: Do either of you still have your extra fish? Would you please consider giving it to Golden ASAP?

I'm 15 energy and 7 hunger. I gave food away last night and did not eat. I think I should sit and then give you food tonight. What do you think?

If we think we have too many fishing I can nap. If I don't recover from my illness by tomorrow fishing I'll need to nap anyways.

Can I redeem myself and talk to you Eloh?

What's your energy level at? We probably can't have every sick person napping, and still have enough food and water for the camp.

We're better off having more food, I think. We all need to eat.

DrWilgy wrote:Here's kinda what I'm thinking,

We are losing optimum ability to use the food we gain as long as we remain sick and something needs to be triggered to cure us. I think I should try to check something out as this is a creeping problem.

Golden, will you participate in the challenge now that you have been fishied?

linki- kay, I'll go if no one has any dire food issues.

Golden wrote:Maybe I should do the footbridge. It shouldn't take too much energy and if it's possible we could get 'treatment' there.

But I can't even understand the concept for how you 'treat' food poisoning... in the real world even.

speedchuck wrote:I think the ordering is going to happen automatically, based on sign-ups. Which is good, because I think none of the sick people have signed up yet.

DH, as far as strategy goes, let's suppose that mine is a bust. I don't want to give away the first four with that. Nor do I want to put your strategy entirely on the sick/weak players that sign up last.
Let's throw up some options, pick the most suitable ones as being acceptable, and then let each player pick from the shortlist.

Balance: High, Block, Low, Block, Block, High, Block, Low
Balance 2: Low, Block, Low, Block, High, Block, Low, Block
Aggro 1: High, Low, Block, High, Block, Low, Block, Block
Aggro 2: High, High, Block, Low, Block, Low, Block, Block
Full Aggro: High, High, Low, Low, Block, Block, Block, Block

Just some suggestions.

Golden wrote:Cheers opt. I think two might be enough fishing for now. Although, actually, with your strength you might be a good fisher?

Should I slot in 7th for the challenge? I know that's the 'winner take all slot', but maybe we'll have it done before I have to compete?

Either that or maybe we want to put our strong players last? Not sure.

To our fellow survivors: Are there any of these options you would rather see eliminated? We have 6 options here, and I think if we get it down to 3 or 4 for the challenge, we'll be good to go. Then the fighters can select from the move lists.

Alternatively, if you think you have a good ordering to throw in, please do. Just keep in mind that we do want to narrow down, so it'd better be at least on the level of these plans.

People, you should complete your spot in the order and your order of attacks so that we can all easily see the progression?

Golden wrote:We renamed our tribe Manamana anyway

For those who don't know, in a Pacific sense the word 'mana' is sort of hard for me to translate into English but it's sort of a combination of prestige and influence. Someone who comes into a room and has the immediate respect of the room is said to have 'mana'. They are the people who can speak softy for one minute and their words carry more weight than everything else going on around it.

That's mana. Let's live up to it!
