The Syndicate

And....I guess I can't call her saying she had BTSC with Opt a slip...that was wrong of me. She said...."If we're being honest....I had BTSC with Opt." But she still made it sounds like she hadn't had BTSC with her at first. And that concerns me that she was going to lie in the first place. I even called her on in in the BTSC.

Chuck, I asked if you were talking to her this evening. That's what was getting to me. That she was talking to you and not me.

Of course. I'll be going to bed very soon though. We lose an hour tonight....stupid U.S. and their daylight savings. So, I need to know what direction we are going in as a tribe.

I am guessing I am not allowed to copy and paste BTSC.

Sorry, like I said...my internet keeps going in and out and I have to reconnect. I am nor copying and pasting each post before hitting submit. Learned the hard way.

Sorry, INH....here you guys go.

I had BTSC with Boom Night 2. He lied to me saying he did not have BTSC with anyone else before me. He lied. He had BTSC with Opt. They had full game BTSC. Opt told me this NIght 2 in our BTSC. I trust Opt. She knew things about Bloom that he told me as well. Boom lied to me, so I voted for him over wilgy.

Right now, I have BTSC with Wilgy and Lorab. Lorab tried to be sneaky and ask me about Opt. I told her I really liked Opt. She seems great, trustworthy. Lorab said she thought she seemed great too and would try for BTSC with her next time. However, then she said later that she had BTSC with opt yesterday. Slip after an implied lie. She backpeddled a bit saying she wasn't trying to lie. She just didn't know if she wanted to share the info yet. SMH. And now, I find she is in BTSC this evening with chuck, but hasn't come back to talk to me. That's worrisome.

Lorab, baby, why aren't you talking to me too, hun?

Honestly (and I mean this in the best way possible) I'm not sure.

It's funny, but in this situation, mob mentality and tribal unity is the same thing. And I'm not around as much on the weekend, so I'm just keeping up enough to assist in unifying the vote. This night, at the least.

Would definitely like to hear more about BTSC liars. Everything I've said in chat has been true.

Chuck, are you in BTSC with anyone this evening? If yes, with whom?

I mean, I know that's how the game will eventually go, but I thought tribal unity would be able to work for a little bit longer.
I'm all about that Tribal Unity.

I'm afraid we have some liars among us already who are forming alliances and lying to the others they have BTSC with. This is not good for our team as it will be difficult to do well when it comes time to merge.

I tried writing this and my internet went out for a sec. Trying again.

INH, I agree with you. I went into today all FOR THE TRIBE. In the past two nights of BTSC, I have had two of my BTSC partners lie to me. And that concerns me. I can't believe people are already starting to be dishonest. So...I am done with liars. I've been totally honest in BTSC so far. NO need to lie. at least night yet

I will not vote for you today, INH. I'm sorry if I came to wrong conclusions about you due to my bad memory and or insufficient observation of your activity.

Scotty wrote:You can write about all the pretty rocks you want here in thread, but there can only one per option in the poll. I'm only looking at the poll.

I understand this. But as there was a technical problem with the poll, you will have to be a bit more lenient or take the wrath of Elohcin. Because that would not be fair to us to place our votes for us and then penalize us for changing them. Especially if this same thing did not happen in the other tribe's thread. I'm serious....not joking. It's not our faults that there were technical difficulties and you were unclear on how we were supposed to remedy that.

It's hard. But I think I am down for an INH vote at the moment. He's not been a very memorable player. But I want discussion b/c I want to keep this vote in the best interest of the tribe.

Excuse me?

What exactly have you done that is memorable, Elo? What would you say you have contributed to this tribe?

I've been busting my ass in challenges and helping to provide food for everyone despite being poisoned. Sorry if that's not memorable for you because I don't post in gifs, or am not as well-connected as others.

Frankly, what's shocking about this is how out of the blue this is. I barely interact with you, and then you start suggesting my name?

Maybe this is why you aren't memorable...we haven't had much of an exchange. I have no offense to you, whatsoever.

What exactly made you decide I was an easy target, Elo?

WHo said I see you as an easy target...I don't. I see Wilgy as an easy target. I could have gone for him. He almost got out last time.

Really, all I take away from this is that whatever kind of an alliance Elo has, I most certainly am not in it.

I've not really talked with you at all, so we haven't built a verbal alliance, this is true. But that doesn't mean we can't.

And that's a shitty feeling.

Dud, I don't mean to make you feel shitty. Goodness. I was just asked for a name. I thought hard about who I had trouble remembering was a fruitful participant and your name came to mind. If you say it's been otherwise, then I'm sorry my memory has failed me. Again, I apologize for any offense.

Scotty, I am voting Aquamarine. Don't mind Lorabs name on there as she is just the one who was put there by default. She can change hers when she votes.

DrWilgy wrote:You wanna trade? I'll take mustard if you want Maroon.

I kind of wanted aquamarine.

How about we all just vote in the thread so its time-stamped and then in the poll too. And if someone votes for the color you are on, that means you have to move your vote.

ABout the poll. I am automatically on mustard. It says in the thread to vote again. But the poll says only one vote per option. So I cannot do both. Scotty help me out here.

So far for the Def Nots we have:

Chuck - 1
DH - 1
Eloh - 1
Golden - 1
Lorab - 1
Opt -3

maybe we should get all our 'definitely nots' into the thread and see who's left.

DharmaHelper wrote:So then who are you keen to vote for Eloh? I'm up in the air myself

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?
You'd "rather not" vote for me?

Correct. You and Golden have both been awesome. And no...I don't want to vote chuck either. He seems cool. Was going to ask to have BTSC with him next.

INH, I'd like to know where you are at right now in regards to a wilgy vote.

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.

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.

Only two of us are napping, those of us with the least amount of energy. I think we should be okay, right?

What I'm worried about is how sick we all are. There was nothing in the PM about getting better on our own. It said we would lose energy until we were out of the game unless "treated". We need to find out how to be treated. I don't think we will just all recover over time.

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?

oh, I see chuck is stoking the fire too...thanks!

Thank you Opt for stoking the fire for us. So far I have the least energy of all who have shared. I am going to take a nap.

DharmaHelper wrote:The thought just occurred to me. We should assume Wilgy will sit out this challenge unless he shows up.

This would not be right, but very true

Who wants to make a spreadsheet?

I'm poisoned and have 15 out of 20 energy

someone who isn't poisoned or needing rest themselves. If we don;t keep the fire going, I don't get food to distribute each night to those in need.

I need someone to volunteer to stoke the fire so I can take a nap.

ALright...I am caught up and I am unsure what to do and would like some help. We need to keep the fire going, but I am also very low on energy and poisoned.

I need to rest and stoke the fire. I will not receive food to eat/give to y'all unless the fire is going. So...who can stoke the fire for me while I rest?

I asked the host about how to be treated for this poisoning and he gave me no answer. :/

Any doctors among us? If any of you think you can help the poisoned, please speak up.

As for the challenge, I will participate if you all think its best. But as I have said, I am weak and poisoned atm. But, as far as we know, there are three of us who are poisoned. So...at least two of us will have to participate.

What should we do?

Seriously? You knew you had to send in a PM for the rock. You even posted about it. You also knew there was a discussion about who people were requesting for BTSC, as you acknowledged the discussion.
I knew that there was a btsc going down but I didn't know I had to pm anything for it. I didn't send a pm when I was in btsc with Golden...

@LoRab, the unluckier you consider yourself, then the more lucky good things are! :^)

@DH, that's just unlucky :^(

I know this seems like a post from ages ago, but I was asleep during all this craziness so I just want to say that wilgy, you are smarter than this.

LoRab wrote:Elo, Chuck: Can I interest the 2 of you in BTSC this evning?

Sounds good. I would like BTSC with you , Lorab.

I would also like BTSC wth Wilgy since the rules have been lifted by DH for now. Wilgy? What do you say. I want to talk personally with you and really see where you are at.

No. I'll lose hunger thirst and energy more quickly without it being treated.

I got poisoned as well. I have asked the hose how to treat it.

I'm still not caught up all the way. But I am posting anyway...I am right where Scotty gives us today's challenge. I need to feed my children some breakfast and will be back.

I'm off to bed. Night all.

alright...well, I will wait to send in my PM. Right now I have to attend a magic show.

Those that had BTSC for a few minutes with wilgy this morning...did he tell his role and any reasons he would be very beneficial to the tribe?

I know you all are debating boom or wilgy. I am stating that I will vote wilgy. As I said before, I have BTSC with him. He's promised to stick with the team and play for the team even after the merge. I have not talked with wilgy. I have not heard his thoughts. I see no reason for him to have given up on trying for BTSC. So he will get my vote. So sorry if this goes against the tribe.

Also, anyone need food? I would hate to waste food there is someone who is not full.

Not off topic, like outside of the game. I just mean, away from what we are currently discussing.

Off topic. Who's hungry?

Having said that, it doesn't feel likely as a mechanic in this particular game.
Exile Island?
It's a possibility, but assuming this game follows real Survivor, the decision to exile would be at the tribal level, or as a punishment from the other tribe earned from winning. I sincerely doubt one person would be given the power to exile, and I would imagine exile would be publicly announced in the thread.

If Wilgy is in fact sick, he could struggle to the computer to make a post informing us of that fact. If he can't do that, causing us to bark down all these wrong trees, is he truly devoted to the tribe?
He has posted in another game. He, in fact, did so first thing this RL morning. That is generally how people let folks know that they are silenced.

You're arguing against the idea that he's sick, which isn't actually what I'm positing. I think he's probably silenced.

It's not my power. But I accept it as a power that might exist in the game.

I accept that the power may exist as well. I don;t have it though. But what about the BTSC thing. Why would he fail to send that in?

nevermind, I see almost everyone, if not everyone, already voted. So...I did too.

That's an interesting thought. Do we want to collaborate on which option we vote for?

DharmaHelper wrote:What about Wilgy, Eloh? Boom seems to think that's the smarter play. Would you swing a vote in his direction if push came to shove?

I would. I don't think he's been participating as much as others. And the fact that he blew off BTSC is bad. Even if he were silenced, he should be able to be in BTSC when silenced in the thread.

Also, I didn't know chuck was new.

Speaking of energy, voting sustenance in the poll. That's what you need to achieve anything else in life.
Hope you're ready to step up next challenge man.
Speaking of stepping up, how's about you explain what happened with the puzzle, like you said you were going to do several pages ago?

I'd be glad to. I was thinking we might go to tribal so I was saving it for that event, but Now that we're not, and you asked so politely:

I asked a question to get clarification on the parameters of the puzzle that was answered imprecisely, so I was working to solve a puzzle that I had incomplete information on, and as a result I got caught up in the wrong path.

Fortunately I had the good sense to pull back.

Where's your mind at for this vote?

I'm in a tough spot as you know I have BTSC with Mr. Boom. I talked to him this morning briefly even before reading the thread as I opened my PMs first.

I don't want to betray a BTSC partner, but I have to agree with you about his behavior. I'm sorry Boomslang. You did come off harsh here. And DH's reply seems genuine. I feel so bad, but out of everyone, I understand why you would be the one to vote for.

I think speed chuck would be a second contender. I see Slang's points on him. However, I don;t think Golden deserves to go whatsoever. He has been a very helpful tribe member.

But one last point, DH: if this is really about choosing Day 2 actions, why haven't you said a word about the actions of Speedchuck or Golden? Both of them took walks outside of camp as well. In fact you even said this about Speedchuck: "I admire your ability to do the work that's necessary to keep this tribe on the winning side of things."

Took walks outside of camp. Does this means these three may have gained info about the other tribe? I didn't even catch that til now. Golden, Chuck, Slang? Did you? If so...what was it?

Golden wrote:I don't really want to vote for anyone either. Question, though, what do we think is better for tribe unity? Vote discussion, or completely secret ballot?

I think we should definitely discuss.

DH, I think your analysis is good. However I think you were a little harsh on Boomslag, were you not? I mean, he had his parents in town.

And what was he talking about when he questions you about the puzzle?

I totally agree. I love BTSC. Especially when people actually come in and talk to me

I just reread the black/yellow stuff. I am going to go for black rock, and BTSC with Slang and Opt. Final Answer
