The Syndicate

DrWilgy wrote:(confirming that it's me, eloh, and lorab for btsc tonight?)

What did I do last night? other than not discuss DH? We have 3 sickies and 2 of them need to rest. Unless someone would like to come with me I don't know if there's a better means of us discovering a way to be treated.

Perhaps we just need to drink a whole lot of water however?

linki - you sure Golden? I have no issues with you going.

I never said I wanted BTSC with you. Each of our BTSC is separate with a person. Eloh said she wanted it with you. That I am also having BTSC with Eloh is irrelevant.

And more than just the 3 of you are sick: Golden, INH, Elo, DH, and you all have food poisining. That means that 3 of us are healthy. 5 of you are sick.

According to Golden, it effects hunger, thirst, and energy--so we need to worry about both food and water. And, I don't think that all 5 of you can take a nap. I think that 2 of us is adequate for water--if you could go back to fishing, as previously discussed in the thread, that would be appreciated.

It would be helpful if you could read the thread.

Also, can someone tell me what order to do my moves in. I don't have time to think through the strategy of it.

To be clear, it says all three will reduce '1 extra point' per day while I'm sick.

I bet they have food poisoning on the other side too. Whoever's idea it was that we wished it on the other is probably true. I say that because Eloh is sick and she voted for food poisoning, even though I'm also sick and I didn't vote for food poisoning.

Here are some good ideas:
Balance: High, Block, Low, Block, Block, High, Block, Low
Balance 2: Low, Block, High, 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
Reserve: Low, High, Block, High, Block, Block, Block, Low

Chuck went with Balance #1 and I went with Reserve. If you want to follow Golden's view that we should diversify, I'd pick an Aggro option.

I took ninja stealth mode. There's enough options to go around now.

I already took aggro 2 as well

You get a move set! And you get a move set! EVERYBODY GETS A MOVE SET!

Balance: High, Block, Low, Block, Block, High, Block, Low (Chuck)
Balance 2: Low, Block, High, 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 (Opt)
Full Aggro: High, High, Low, Low, Block, Block, Block, Block
Reserve: Low, High, Block, High, Block, Block, Block, Low (DH)
Ninja: High, Low, High, Block, Block, Block, Block, Low (Golden)

Here's where we are at, as best I can tell.

Balance: High, Block, Low, Block, Block, High, Block, Low (Chuck)
Balance 2: Low, Block, High, Block, High, Block, Low, Block
Aggro 1: High, Low, Block, High, Block, Low, Block, Block (INH)
Aggro 2: High, High, Block, Low, Block, Low, Block, Block (Opt)
Full Aggro: High, High, Low, Low, Block, Block, Block, Block
Reserve: Low, High, Block, High, Block, Block, Block, Low (DH)
Ninja: High, Low, High, Block, Block, Block, Block, Low (Golden)

Taking Aggro 1 into battle against S~V~S.

I also need one more BTSC partner for tonight. Any takers?

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!

Not to be confused with "manna" from the Bible meaning, "What is it."

Wilgy, I know Lorab was a little harsh with you, but she's right. Please read the thread. If I can get into this game than you are smart enough, even as a sicky IRL, to understand it. We PM two names in hopes to gain BTSC with them. If I get BTSC with you and Lorab, it will be in two complete separate chat rooms.

then, not than. those things annoy the hell out of me and there I go doing them.

OK. I'll go with Balance 2, I guess:

Jeff, I'd like to do: Low, Block, High, Block, High, Block, Low, Block

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation. I'm going through and catching up as much as I can, I just have limited time to do so and don't wanna miss anything before the day is up.

@LoRab - are you mad at me?

Scotty, if we do not have an opponent by end of day, will we still need to put in actions?

It's becoming rather inconvenient for me to continue waiting.

just go full aggro. I actually think it's the best option in the absence of knowing your opponent anyway?

I'm pumped for a swap/merge yo.

I'm gonna be pissed if Negan loses the "beat the shit out of somebody with a weapon" challenge.

Here's my strat

Not mad at you. I'm just frustrated that you don't seem to be reading the thread and that your actions don't always seem to be in the best interest of the tribe.

This is the second time you've posted something that indicated that you didn't understand how BTSC worked in the game--I'd think that after the first time, you'd have looked back at the host posts to see how it worked.

Are we all locked in, including our picks?

DharmaHelper wrote:Are we all locked in, including our picks?

Yeah you guys are all locked in. I already tabulated the results, and just have to write it up.

I kind of feel like the one single dude at a wedding when every other player has two BTSC partners that I'm aware of, and I only have Speedchuck. Not that there's anything wrong with Speedchuck, but...

In the words of Three Dog Night, two can be as bad as one; it's the loneliest number since the number one.

We should have enough to go around... I'm not sure why it's not working out.

I have not requested BTSC with Wilgy. I have, in fact, told him that I did not request it. I was pretty explicit about that. I don't know why he thinks that I wanted it. I'm not sure why you think that I wanted it with him. Did I say that somewhere mistakenly?

Godspeed and good luck fam.

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.

speedchuck stoked the fire to keep it ablaze. And keep it ablaze he did, for the fishermen INH, OptOut, and Wilgy. They brought back 2 fish each.
At the water well, DH and LoRab returned with water for the tribe another day!
Elo and Golden, after a long time making up rhymes of 'Manamana', needed to take a nap.
No one explored.

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!

As for Mamana, I got nothing for ya. I'll see you at tribal tonight, where you will vote out the 4th player from Survivor: Mafia.

Well that just blows.

Aaaand that's what happens when over 60 percent of the tribe is sick and we rely on dice rolls.

Meh.

But that's life.

Who's it gonna be?

Unfortunately, I thought it'd come down to luck of the dice
Sounds like long con is there strength guy, which could be good to know. Sorry I didn't win for the team, but we all fought well.

I'm gonna be miffed if there's no challenge tomorrow to redeem us.

Before we start yelling at e/o about who we are voting I say lets all figure out how we should distribute food.

As of this morning I had 7 hunger, the food poisoning is going to take a toll on that.

Linki - do we have to feed LoRab?

I'm not that hungry. But way to be part of the team.

As of this morning I was at 9/10 but I anticipate that dropping to at most 7/10 come the next challenge.

The folks that fished today, give the extra fish to three different people who will all fish tomorrow. and reciprocate.

I was joking LoRab, if you are hungry I'll share with you. Please let me know if this is the case.

If you think voting for me is still your best option feel free to, but I promise I'm trying.

@DH I like that idea. It streamlines our fishing.

And you each eat 1 of your fish. And give the other of your fish to someone else: Golden, DH, and Chuck makes the most sense. I believe Elo can feed herself--she's at least implied that in the thread. If I'm wrong, then she should get one of the fish instead of Chuck.
