My bad. Correction:

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.

So the real tally is:

INH:
1) Speedchuck
2)

Speedchuck
1) Lorab
2) INH

DrWilgy

Elo:

Wilgy, are you feeling the same love connection that I am tonight?

Quiet you, or you won't get any BTSC.

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

Well, there's your problem. Lorab, Elo, and Wilgy are having some kind of love triangle BTSC situation, leaving me and Speedchuck out in the cold.

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?

Gotchu fam. I sent Eloh/INH.

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.

Womp womp.

We'll get them next time team!

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.

Also, at least 2 of the people that fished today can rest tomorrow, and Golden and Eloh can fetch water. Problem = Solved.

DharmaHelper wrote:Also, at least 2 of the people that fished today can rest tomorrow, and Golden and Eloh can fetch water. Problem = Solved.

I think I'm going to need to nap tomorrow, actually. I don't want my energy getting too low.

Wilgy - Bat to your head, who should get the votes tonight?

I'm happy to give my fish to whoever needs it. Just give me a holler

Who all's sick? Me, DH, Golden, Wilgy, and Elo?

Wilgy and I both got fish for ourselves, so we're good. I think it's a given that DH, Golden, and Elo should get the extra food due to their stat decrease, but that's just my thoughts. Open to anyone else's input.

DharmaHelper wrote:Wilgy - Bat to your head, who should get the votes tonight?

You don't need to put a bat to my head for that. It's easy that I will be voting LoRab tonight.

I'm not going to ask others to follow me in this vote, but I am still wishing to vote away antagonists. LoRab's concern was for the tribe, but the matter of how she handled asking me to read the thread was hostile. It actually motivated me to stop reading and do the opposite until Eloh asked, this I resumed my catch up and detail learning.

Simply put, that attitude toward one's own tribe does nothing but decrease motivation and hinder the team.

Linki - INH, I'm down for that unless someone states that thier food is lower than 5. I'll submit a PM now to give DH the fish unless otherwise noted by EoN.

I'm goimg to bed now. L8r g8rs. :^)

I'm going to be spending at least some of tomorrow with my Mom and family doing a craft that I've been planning as a surprise for her all week so I will miss out on some of the discussion.


I do want to stress a few things tonight before I depart.

- Whatever we decide, we decide as a tribe
- No bullshit
- No matter how the vote shakes out, we move forward afterwards together.

Well, you hadn't listened to anything before that, after mulitple times of people (including me) kindly pointing things out that you were mistaken about. I eventually became frustrated with a player repeatedly not following the conversation, not knowing how the game was played, and not doing what was best for the tribe. If that earns your vote, so be it.

As many have said, tribe unity is important. Rogue players, I believe, are dangerous. I have seen rogue tendencies from you a few times now.

That I've pointed them out seems to scare you into voting for me.

Also before I go to bed:

Not gonna lie, 90% of my excitement for a merge is because it opens to door to like 50 more Negan Gifs.

I actually had already given my input on this, not that long before you said something similar, but no one seemed to read it.

I believe Elo can feed herself. She can correct that assumption if I am wrong.

Also, gotta say, voting me for one moment, in one post, of expressing frustration during what is the start of a really stressful weekend, I really don't think is fair, but I get that it angered you--and that you're voting me because you're pissed off, not because it's a rational decision. Just like my post wasn't really rational. I apologize for being harsh in that post. I am sorry if I came off as mean spirited. It was not my intention.

And I do apologize.

If your anger outweighs everything else I've done in the game in your mind, so be it. If that's the case, I can't really change your mind, and I won't try.

I'm curious how you feel about your trust for SVS in the future since she gave you a black rock?

Someone please feed me. The map gave me three energy back but I'm still poisoned.

Maybe today won't be so boring after all.

It was more that you didn't acknowledge that there had been another idea proposed. Or that I had spoken.

"I think it's a given," implies that everyone thinks that. I clearly had a slightly different opinion. And you didn't acknowledge the parts of it that were exactly the same.

Alright, let's analyze this.

I was sharing my view, and my opinion on what me, Wilgy, and Opt should do with our extra fish.

I wasn't responding to you, DH, or anyone else. I was just offering up my views.

Also, if you had said something to the effect of "DH, Elo, and Golden should get the fish because they are sick," than yes, we'd be saying the same thing. Instead, you said that Golden, DH, Chuck, and maybe Elo should get the fish while declining to mention the sickness itself or really any reasoning at all.

And even if my opinion was exactly similar to yours, I still had the right to give it in the thread, as I'm one of the people with the fish that started this whole shebang in the first place.

I wasn't specifically snubbing you in particular either, Lorab, and I had read your post. I just chose to give my own POV without citing anyone else. It wasn't a directed snipe or me ignoring you. It was me speaking my mind.

You also seem to think your statement is both too similar and directly contradictory to mine. They both can't be true.

Also, do you feel like this conversation is constructive?

As long as you both agree I should get a fish

All right- how about I give my fish to golden, wilgy gives his to speed, and insert gives his to DH? Unless Elo speaks up and needs one. Who said what isn't really important as long as everyone gets fed

Here's some intel on the other tribe's energy scores:

Challenge One:
MP - "easily" [x]
SVS "Light balls" (No loss of energy)
Quin "Last ball" [heavy] 2 Energy (Possibly the same boost as Opt had)
DF - Puzzle (Whiffed)
Epi/LC/Sawyer/Sorsha - Unclear what they spent (total loss of 2 or 4 energy)

Challenge Two: [-3 for all participants]
LC ("Strongest")
SVS
Sorsha
DF (Stupefied? Did he miss another Challenge?)
Sorsha
NotSawyer

Totals:
SVS -3
LC -5 or -6
Sorsha -5 or -6
DF -3
Sawyer -5 or -6

insertnamehere wrote:Also, do you feel like this conversation is constructive?

Not particularly. It's just frustrating when it feels like one is being talked over. I just like being acknowledged--it's all I ask in life, really.

And it was really just real life frustration bleeding over into game.

As of this morning, I was at 8/10 hunger, and I am not poisoned.

There are probably better targets for fish?

I'm just saying this so that "Drop Your Buffs" will be the next episode's title.

Jeff i swear to God if I hear you say "Drop your Buffs" I'm gonna lose it

LoRab wrote:I'm curious how you feel about your trust for SVS in the future since she gave you a black rock?

Of course I still trust SVS. I hope she can forgive me for throwing the selfish rock as I forgave her.

Wait. Can someone eat more than 1 fish at a time?

I can feed myself. I make delicious meals.

Who are we voting for today? I will not be voting for Opt or Lorab. I would rather not vote DH or Golden. I am talking with Wilgy in BTSC and he seems to have turned a leaf. What do you guys think?

linki? really? does anyone else thinks that? I would have to be all jumbled into new tribes now. And why would there be so many options to choose form if that were the case?
