^ This is why I'm curious.

I don't think feeling that way about elo right now is difficult to understand from LoRab.

Opt_Outside wrote:I agree that the seven we have left need to be ready to stay strong. I really think we're at a tribe swap so we need to protect each other and hold our numbers or we'll get picked off

I tend to think so too. 14 is a pretty common number to swap at in an 18 player season.

Lorab, elo... question... do you feel like you can trust each other if you are both here tomorrow?

No matter what, unity is most important. We need to feel good about the 7 we go forward with. We shouldn't start creating fractures. I'm looking to vote in the way that I think most promotes unity.

I will not vote for inh tonight!

Plus I think her strength in challenges is important, especially given she's not sick.

I have a 'definitely not' on opt_outside. She's new around these parts, and I want her to get to hand around for a bit.

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

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.

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?

The losing kind

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.

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

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.

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

(lets live up to it.... twice)

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!

My order - High, low, high, block, block, block, block, low

Oh, I see, it's in order of signups. Next time that happens, lets discuss order before signing up. It should be all good though.

Also, as much as I'm enjoying writing here about Survivor Mafia, I now have to go write about actual Survivor so that my blog is done during the weekend. I'll pop in when I get moments.

btw - I'm competing jeff

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

Order of competition

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Golden

Fish seems more important to me. Three fishing is good. We can explore the footbridge next time. I think the highest probability is these are potential idol hiding places anyway, and it might just be that we have to give up on that until we have a well tribe.

I think two is enough for water. We had two last time and we all seem to be at about 9 or 10 for water.

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.

I have an idea. It might be a bad idea, but it's an idea...

I think the other tribe is going to pick an approach and all do it. I just feel that in my gut. They'll decide what they think is the best approach, and run with it.

Perhaps our best approach is to mix it up. Use seven different patterns. If they go the same way every time, some of our patterns will be better and some will be worse.

I think the more strong players (like opt) should go as aggro as possible... they won't have weak moments. Weaker members should perhaps go more balanced.

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.

One more suggestion - aggro with late ninja-stealth mode move

High, low, high, block, block, block, block, low

Spoiler: show

I do think it's best I take a nap anyway. DH is right that 'treatment' might just be rest.

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.

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.

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?

I think you should sit. I can sit out the next one if it's still a problem. I took LoRab's advice and I'm taking a nap as well.

DrWilgy wrote:I recall that the DH was saying the natural footbridge was new? Perhaps it has something to do with our sickness?

Could be! It also may be that we've finished building a shelter and so that's not there any more.

I'm 16 energy not 15. I'm at 7 hunger though, I'm beginning to worry about that.

I have to come read a bit later. I'll be back!

I can play if need be. I'm in a similar situation to eloh.

Snap!

Opt_Outside wrote:Let's talk about strategy of how we should order these hits/blocks

First to 20... with your extra rolls... leave your blocks till last? Maybe we all should leave blocks till last?

Ok, I suggest it's time to reveal roles, and sit out the weakest. Someone as strong as opt we need. Someone who thinks they are physically weak maybe not?

I'm so sorry!!! Do you know how we can treat it?

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

I got food poisoning. It needs to be treated.

I'm not surprised MP is gone. He needs to focus on his course work. Having said that, I'm kind of relieved at not having to be against him in this game.

Opt_Outside wrote:Golden and DH- I think we were slated to do btsc tonight?

Correct. We must be effectively having a three way because I'm on with dh as well.

Wilgy, I'm glad you survived. You're still just fine in my book.

Should I go with you lorab?

I've been feeling like my food efforts are terrible. I failed to find fish or coconuts. Does anyone have active skill in food gathering?

I'm sorry wilgy. I owe you one.

Ok, I'll switch. Wilgy sort of gave permission by saying do what you thinks best for the tribe. I do feel bad though.

Did you forget to send in your btsc PM wilgy?

^This times 10,000. Wilgy, a single post during the day phase, just saying you were busy and would catch up later, would have helped the tribe make a better decision. You didn't do that. I don't buy your excuse. You deliberately took advantage of the Syndicate's cultural tolerance of silence to let momentum build up against me. There's no scum in this game... but that's a hella scummy move.

I was just meaning in his creative smilies, for clarity.
