Quin wrote:I am confused as to how you managed to get BTSC last night, or that's what I'm assuming allowed this at least.

It was during the day not the night. The three of us took the fire to a safe place in the rain.

#852

So, we need to start the fire and rebuild the shelter today. Unless anyone is in dire need or food or rest can we all get on one of those two options today?

I'll help with shelter. I assume we need at least three or four there again

Quin wrote:It's a bit of a punch in the face, but otherwise I can understand.

It's a big punch in the face, and I know it.

#855

If we go two on fire and four on shelter, we can attend to food and drink needs the following night. I really need water, other than that I'm ok.

#856

So quin, can we do btsc?

And anyone else interested?

#857

Opt_Outside wrote:So quin, can we do btsc?

Yeah. No problem.

#858

Alternatively we could do one thing per day, because I recall 2 not being enough for the fire. Could we put 4 on the shelter, and 2 sick people can go fishing or get water or something?

Water and fish are pointless without fire, but I think two was all we used.

#860

As far as puzzle solving goes - I would really appreciate if the reward was food/drink for that. You, Quin and X can fight out immunity.

If I was to win it, I will gladly share my food with whoever needs it as I do not. However, I do ask that whoever gets the drink would share it with me, as thats what I need most urgently.

#861

Opt, thank you.

Svs, I'm sorry things had to go this way. I'd have loved to have gone to the end with you. You chose not to go that route. I think you'd have done the same as I did in my position.

Sorry to anyone I had to lie to yesterday for this plan to work. Especially Sorsha, because you were a relatively arbitrary. Joyce of someone to say I was planning to vote for and I felt bad about it. And Elo, because I just hate not being truthful with you, Elo.

As for the challenge, I really need food and water. So whoever wins that, sharing appreciated. My energy is less depleted. I have a strength advantage if I am placed in that part of the challenge.

I put myself on fire at the camp, as I remember that not taking up energy. And we need fire. Do we still have a flint from either of the camps?

#862

Opt_Outside wrote:I'll put myself and quin for strength and golden for puzzle- what else?

I should do the strength challenge. I'm not great with puzzles.

Also, opt, I'd like BTSC with you tonight. Golden too, but your booked, I believe. Maybe I can talk with you again,Lorab. Or possibly Sorsha. Have we even talked yet?

#863

Okay, I'm very thirsty. I've got to go get water. I need to go back and read the host post, is it still raining? Gah...I have a long RL to do list...And all I've done since I got up is take clothes out of the dryer (which are still in the basket in front of me) and play mafia. I will vote water for now. But I wish I could get the fire going too. Scotty, I'm a great multitasker...Seriously... Can't I pick two options? :P

#864

Oh man...Look at my friend's attempting to start a fire. Y'all are awesome!!

#865

And apparently I missed a few.poats before posting. I had yet to have my tea in my hands. I'll be honest with y'all...My energy and food is low, but my thirst is at 3, very low. So I should get water like I voted...But now I feel bad because I'm not helping with something for the group.

Water actually brings water back for the tribe. Or at least is has.

And if we don't think we need so many people on fire, perhaps one of us can go get water with you to make sure we bring more back. And so we can increase the talking.

#867

I really think fire can start with two people- we gotta rebuild the shelter or we're likely to lose health from freezing in the rain! Can some people please come help?

Okay

#869

Elo and lorab sounds like you both want to do strength but there's only one spot for that left- can you two decide who's rather do the puzzle? And haven't heard from sorsha- would you be on board with doing the puzzle? I hope we can all end up happy with this result

#870

I moved to shelter.

As for challenge: I don't have much time today to work on the puzzle, and Scotty said its real time centric--I've been out of the office all week, I have 2 meetings this afternoon, and I need to write a sermon for tonight.

I'm willing to take one for the tribe and do the puzzle challenge, though, knowing that I will lose. But I need people's word that I won't be voted out for it. And that if Golden wins (which, knowing that he's good at puzzles, is likely) he'll share the reward (which he has already said).

#871

Didn't expect that.

I'm fine with the puzzle, I'll find time somehow at work.

Bts with whoever... just let me know

I'm not booked up, I'll go you if you're still free.

#875

Lorab and golden it is.

#876

Elo, will you do the puzzle?

#877

AH! I just realized Scotty said 3pm est which is confusing since he says he's on pst.... I did the best with what I was given- hope everyone's okay with it

Puzzle - reward
Golden
Sorsha
Elo

Strength - immunity
Quin
Lorab
Opt

Great, thanks!

#879

Unless Elo and Lorab want to switch- I just went by the last post in the thread. SPEAK NOW if you want to swap

#880

Ah, I know I've already posted but upon re-reading the thread it looks like lorab is more willing to do the puzzle than Elo.

SWITCHING ELO TO STRENGTH AND LORAB TO PUZZLE

FINAL ANSWER
strength- immunity
Quin
Opt
Elo

Puzzle- reward
Golden
Sorsha
Lorab

#881

Lorab, you have my word that I will not vote for you tonight

#882

Ok. Challenge is on!

Part #1: Color Puzzle. -REWARD- (Golden, Sorsha, LoRab)
Please give me a set time to agree upon and I will send you the puzzle. Timer starts when I send it. If you don’t give me a time, you are choosing not to participate in this challenge.

Part #2: Boot Camp. -IMMUNITY- (OptOut, Elo, Quin)
You and 2 other castaways are racing through a boot camp obstacle course. You will PM me your individual choices of option in each leg leg.

Leg 1:
Option A) Commando Crawl (-2 energy): This will take from 20-30 seconds per player.
Option B) Horizontal Cargo net (-1 energy): This will take 15 seconds if only one player goes across. If more than one go across, it will take 45 seconds.

Leg 2:
Option A) Rope wall (-2 energy): This massive wall will take 40-45 seconds. 
Option B) Rope swings (-1 energy): This will take 10 seconds per try, but will have a 80% chance to overshoot your landing pad, forcing you to try again.

Leg 3:
Option A) Sprint around the jungle to the finish (-3 energy): This will take you all the way around the course to the finish line. It will take you 80-90 seconds.
Option B) Rope ladder (-2 energy): Climb an unbalanced rope ladder to the finish line. Each attempt will take you 20 seconds, but will have a 5/6th chance of falling down and forcing you to attempt again.
Option C) Swinging steps (-1 energy): Crossing this will be difficult, but you will reach the finish line when you make it. Each attempt will take you 10 seconds, but will have a 90% chance of dumping you on your ass and forcing you to attempt again.

#883

I'm sitting here waiting for scotty to check his PMs....

I really need to get on to the puzzle soon.

#884

I sent my PM.

#885

I'm going to be so low on energy after this.

#886

What does color puzzle entail and can I do it on a phone?

#887

Sorsha wrote:What does color puzzle entail and can I do it on a phone?

I needed paper and a pen

#888

Sorsha wrote:What does color puzzle entail and can I do it on a phone?

You can do it all on your phone, but I will preface that it is probably easier to do with paper and pen handy.

Yeah I'm glad we ended up not draining our energy in that last challenge... this would be impossible

Not impossible...you would just start dipping into your hunger and thirst levels

#891

Okay so... only two of us are building shelter right now. I think we need at least three to succeed. Would someone come over from the water well to help? Or the fire unless it needs two people? Otherwise I'd rather move to do something productive. I fear that we'll get sick in the rain without the shelter though

Go home Scotty, you're drunk

#893

If we run out of energy can we opt out of the challenge automatically, or is it like the last one where we started to lose hunger/thirst?

I've got my burglary happening shortly so I'll be out of this for a bit.

If you are nervous your energy level is low enough that you will dip into your hunger/thirst during this challenge, you may pull out at that point if you wish..you just tell me that ahead of time, however, before I make the rolls.

But you will not regain your lost energy nor will you complete the challenge.

I thought we had discussed earlier that building a fire needed 2 people. For the shelter, from the host post, it sounded like it was getting damaged, but not that it had fallen apart--so maybe 3 will work. Also a risk that 1 person wouldn't be able to bring water back for other people (we've actually never had only 1 person go to the well). But I agree, probably better to put a third person on shelter (because that will have an impact on energy for all of us), and have 1 person on water--at least they will (hopefully) have water. Since we need to rebuild the fire in the rain, I think it best to have 2 people on that--we are in big trouble if we have no fire (including that none of us can eat).

Sounds good. I might have missed the fire part. Would Elo or sorsha be willing to jump from water to shelter?

#897

My water level s at 3. If it goes to zero, am I out?

#898

Elohcin wrote:My water level s at 3. If it goes to zero, am I out?

Yes, lets not let that happen.

#899

Thought so. I'm still going for water.

#900

I agree with Elo staying on water!! Don't know Sorsha's thirst level, if she could safely move to shelter or not.
