The Syndicate

Just so we're clear, outside of game, I'm

with Golden. It's cool. I'm half role playing and half gagging on the worst nickname ever.

And man, Golden and SVS are out to get me. I suppose that's to be expected, considering that Golden has separate alliances with 80% of the playerbase, but still. Cold, bro.
You came at me first, chucky boy. I could have voted you out when LC went out but I had your back instead. And I got repaid by you throwing my name out there. So when you go home don't forget - I didn't start the fire.

And where exactly did I come at you first?

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. 100%. But I may be misremembering.

Though, unrelately, I should congratulate you. You, of all the mafia player's I've ever played with, are the only one who's managed to find a nickname that I truly, utterly, despise.

Okay.

If I had any part in the hurt feelings (I am still not 100 sure how this game worked re the plate smashing; I was trying to win by guessing the answers most people would pick in my opinion) I am sorry.

If it makes anyone feel better, I named myself as the one who who thinks they are less popular than they are, and I named myself as the one most people would thinks as dishonest. I also named myself for another negative category. I viewed you all totally as competitors, and nothing personal was meant or intended, and I assume that is the case straight across the board for all of us.

We're playing a game

Oh, I'm not taking it personally. I'm just trying to find out who voted me as most dishonest so I can vote for them tonight.

#honesty

So I'm the most dishonest. Would like some explanation for that one, pls and thx.

And man, Golden and SVS are out to get me. I suppose that's to be expected, considering that Golden has separate alliances with 80% of the playerbase, but still. Cold, bro.

Opt_Outside wrote:Speed it's been a while so I'd like to talk to you too soon as you're free!

How bout now

Quin, wanna chat? Or are you full up?

Speaking of which, I'm suuper thirsty.

And when it comes to the tribal, it looks like OptOut... opted out.

Looks like it.

Well, that's sad.

TELL ME WHAT THE 8 LETTER WORDS WERE

insertnamehere wrote:Whoops.

Speed, do you wish to converse during this witching hour?

Aye

I don't need to know what it is, but has anyone else found an 8 letter word? I'm sitting here with 66 shorter words.

Wow.

I cannot find ANY 8 letter words.

LoRab wrote:Hey chuck! Wanna chat?

Sure

Elohcin wrote:INH, did you forget to put in for BTSC?

INH is on exile island. He can't talk to any of us.

I give the rest of my money to Quin. All $460. I'm serious. He needs more maggots.

$40 for left half

Quin wrote:Sorsha and speedchuck, wanna be BTSC buddies tonight?

Ye

Elohcin wrote:I'd like to talk to chuck today. Anyone else want to talk?

Ye

Quin and Eloh for chat tonight. Confirmed.

S~V~S wrote:So LC and one other voted for you and Speedchuck?

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I imagine the other was NotSawyer. LC for me, NS for Opt.

I'm not too upset, INH. After all, I don't have much access to the BTSC on weekdays. You didn't miss much. I'll have to wait till tonight to talk to Sorsha, and contact will be brief

I figured, based on the way that DH was acting, being thrown into a new tribe would either cement his victory or be his instant downfall. While he was good to me, I'm not going to start up a stink about it. What I'd rather know is what Quin did to get votes that night.

We lynched Long Con for a few reasons. I personally voted him because he was sort-of anti-aligned with me in BTSC, though I did feel bad about it because he was being fairly nice about the whole thing.

Aw, Doodle. :P

So sawyer needs to do LoRab and Epi?

Atamana?

I like it. It still works with the muppet song.

I don't think everyone should guess today. Combining our "no shared water borders except in the river" with the clue that "the idol is on a water source" and "bordered by 5 water and 3 trees"...

The idol HAS to be on the river. No exceptions, thanks to our other clues about water. There are only 5 or so reasonable guesses.

And dang, no sharing fish. Those with the lowest hunger need to get some fishies.

DFaraday wrote:So is anyone going to help with the shelter, or nah? Because if they're not, I don't want to waste my time, and would go exploring instead.

I'm on it.

BTSC with INH and Sorsha, confirmed.

Just so you both know, though... I'm not usually around in the chat the entire day. I can't access it at work. Only early morning and some evening chat for me.

Now that I've picked, I'm adding my clues:

Code: Select all

A [T][T][T][T][T][T]
B [?][?][?][?][T][W]
C [?][?][?][T][?][?]
D [?][?][T][?][?][?]
E [?][T][?][?][?][?]
F [T][T][T][T][T][T]

-no water source shares a border to the north, south, east, or west of another one, except the river between e3 and b6 (where rows are labeled A-F and columns labeled 1-6)
-the diagonal from top right to bottom left are all palm trees in a straight line.
-Bottom row is all palms
-1st row is all palms
-the idol is adjacent to 3 palm trees and 5 water sources
-One and only one water source is completely surrounded by trees
-The idol is not on a border plot
-The idol is on a water source
-4 palm trees in third row

My tired brain farked up the grid last night. The columns should be 1-6 and the rows should be A-F. Currently it is reversed. Will update grid accordingly. Terribly sorry for the oversight.

That's okay. I got mine right.

insertnamehere wrote:Here's my clue.

5) one and only one water source is surrounded by 8 Palm trees

Speedchuck, would you be open to having BTSC tonight?

Sure thing. Thanks for the clue.

Is one person enough for the shelter?

And seriously, does anyone have any other clues they'd like to offer? What we have so far seems not useful.

Code: Select all

A [T][T][T][T][T][T]
B [?][?][?][?][T][W]
C [?][?][?][T][?][?]
D [?][?][T][?][?][?]
E [?][T][W][?][?][?]
F [T][T][T][T][T][T]

Points E3 and B6 are connected by water, but we don't know how. No other waters share any common borders.

Thanks for the clarification.

Code: Select all

A [T][T][T][T][T][T]
B [?][?][?][?][T][W]
C [?][?][?][T][W][?]
D [?][?][T][W][?][?]
E [?][T][W][?][?][?]
F [T][T][T][T][T][T]

-no water source shares a border to the north, south, east, or west of another one, except the river between e3 and b6 (where rows are labeled A-F and columns labeled 1-6)
-the diagonal from top right to bottom left are all palm trees in a straight line.
-Bottom row is all palms
-1st row is all palms

I think this is what we are currently dealing with, unless I misunderstood. So far, I see no reason that the idol couldn't be literally anywhere, but maybe this helps some people.

Any other clues?

Elohcin wrote:I disagree with giving one correct clue and one false clue. I think if this is going to be solved then we need to work together honestly until it comes down to the end when we really have to turn on each other. Maybe it will get me voted off. So be it. I'm no good at puzzles like these. I can't gety head wrapped around them. So...I will do what I can to help solve it. And what I can do is give you guys two truthful clues. Hate me...I don't care. I'm just trying to do what I can to contribute.

I don't think anyone would hate you for this. :P

. . . Could the idol be buried under a palm tree?

Does anybody have any suggestions on sharing? Because if we don't share, it's probable that nobody will get the idol (which may be fine, I guess, IDK). More fun to share.
That's a good idea. Here is one of my clues.

The 1st row is all palm trees

The diagonal from top right to bottom left are all palm trees in a straight line.

What if every person shared their least helpful clue? Or a clue and a false clue? Enough to get some information out there, but also not enough to give away the location?

11 Energy, 8 Thirst, and 6 Hunger. That's where I am, having not eaten (to my knowledge) a single fish. :P I'm not sick, though, so there are still some worse off than me.

Puzzle solvers like me get three clues today. I'm considering sharing a couple of them.
