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

That's not necessarily the case. If I were in your shoes, I'd want to bring the people I think deserved the spot the most. If I won that way, I feel like I'd have achieved something.

Although I hold that I think it unlikely that either of them would do that to someone to whom they made promises. It's just not who either of them are.

Also, still not the same result.

So even though there's a role that does actually perfectly match what happened to both you and Golden, I'm still the most likely candidate?

Because it doesn't actually perfectly match. I said that already.

Yes it does. Your argument is that 'poisoning takes an extra point away from each stat each night' is different from 'saps everything twice as fast'. Which is wrong. They are the exact same.

Not necessarily.

Yes, necessarily.

Nope. and I know how many points I am listing, so I think I can speak more accurately.

Whether you agree or not, the most likely scenario is Eloh betrayed you and Golden. I don't know what the point of accusing me at this point was, anyway.

It still doesn't match the description. And I'm not sure why it is so important to you that it was Eloh (since you seem to have given up your initial response that it wasn't a person, just a game thing).

And I had asked the other players, I wanted to ask you, as well. I learn a lot from responses.

I gave up on it after Opt pointed towards the truth of the matter. If you're going to argue it's not the same thing because it's not a word-for-word repeat, that's your call.

Off topic, but is there a way to mass delete PM's? I've got one and a half pages of just challenge PM's and I don't want to click every single one.

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

It's not that it doesn't match word for word, it's that they are not the same effect.

check the boxes and then go to the square where it says mark/unmark as important, click on it, and choose delete marked.

linkitis: I don't know what to do, either.

I've enjoyed working with you, as well. We've been together literally since day 1, when we mutually discovered what happens when you go get water. I don't think I can vote for you. It just doesn't feel right, and you've done nothing to me to break promises, so I don't want to break any promises I've made to you.

I think I need to vote Quin.

While Quin has played a good game, Quin has also never been on my side, and is the player left to whom I do not feel a sense of loyalty.

No hard feelings. I've voted for you for the same reason and if it's you who makes it to the end, good luck.

And Sorsha, I wanted to give you a plea as to why you shouldn't vote for me, so I'll do it here.

I've had your back since the beginning of the game, as early as when you first gave me fish. When names were being discussed in BTSC I threw in my two cents that you should have some sort of vote immunity early on, both for your role, and as a favour. I also flat out rejected voting for you back when SVS was eliminated. And I played an idol for you so that you, Opt and I could all make final three. I haven't broken my word to you.

I know you're weighing what's best for your chances of winning right now, and I get that. But it's as I said before, I think you'll earn more favour with the jury by going to the end with the people who you can have a sense of accomplishment in beating.

So do you not think I deserve to be here?

Don't do that.

You implied as much, I'm just asking if that's what you, in fact think.

LoRab wrote:You implied as much, I'm just asking if that's what you, in fact think.

I've had BTSC with you once and we didn't talk about much of anything. I can't tell you whether you deserve to be here because I don't know what you've done.

That's a fair statement. But I'm sure you can see how one could read your posts as implying differently.

I can. I rewrote that part about four times because I didn't want to sound like I was making a blanket statement that you or Opt don't deserve the spot.

With the necklace firmly around her neck, Sorsha had one mission left: to decide who she wanted to see next to her in the finals.

For Quin, Opt and LoRab, it was far less cut and dry. No one felt safe.

"I'm scared," whispered Quin, grabbing his torch en route to the final tribal.

"I literally shat myself I'm so scared," the censors failed to overhear Opt say.

"I just want to say It's been an honor to play with you fellas," said LoRab.

*************************************************************

At tribal, Scotty Probst was in the middle of a rousing operatic rendition of "Time to Say Goodbye" while riding a unicycle.

"Man, they're really pulling out the stops to get viewers these days," Quin said, shaking his head.

"4, soon to be 3. Y'all know who you're voting?" asked Scotty.

"Not really, no," said Opt.

"Great. Let's get to the vote."

The contestants all marched up to the tribal voting booth as if in a funeral dirge.

"I'll go get the votes."

But Vanna White slaked her way over to Probst with the jar, winked at him, and then vanished into the night.

"Wow! That was amazing!" shouted Probst.

"Once the votes are read, the decision will be made and the person will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I’ll read the votes."

1st vote:
2nd vote:
3rd vote:
4th vote
