The Syndicate

This is the best day of my life.

We should rename this one "DH" :

I'm sorry it didn't go well for everyone I think Scotty did his best, it was just a case of hindsight 20/20. Struggles of the internet. I'll help out with the shelter again since we lost some people

Guess I missed the whole thing. Bright side, I have 500 Survivor Dollars.

And if you are sick, please make it clear so I can get to work.

After a night of restless sleep due to the boar invasion, the tribe woke up groggy but once again got to work.

"I'm getting too old for this shit," said DF.

SVS, Opt and Epi rebuilt the shelter, using gorilla glue this time. It was a good shelter. Had some pizzaz.
Stoking the fire was Quin, and taking naps were LoRab and Sorsha.
Speedchuck delivered water back from the water well to quench everyone's thirst.
Elo decided to try her hand out at fishing and came back with some fish.
Golden and DF had some energy to spare, and decided to explore their surroundings.
Doodle stayed on his leash and proceeded to do some calculus in his free time until the next egg came out its butt.

A gong sounded, and treemail arrived. It was to be the Survivor Auction!

"Ahhh I don't need an auction- I just bought a house!" Screamed Golden.

It was midday before the auction occurred, and everyone received money.

"I'm keeping my money," said Epi, going back to his diary.

Players bid as time allowed, some more aggressively than others. Some had terrible luck with the entire process. Some spent all their money on larvae. To each their own.

One player, INH, bought himself a ticket to Exile Island and was forbidden from talking. But he also bought himself immunity from tribal council.

Yep, tribal council.

It is now Night 6. You have 23 hours to get your actions in. Day will end at Midnight EST.

Day 6:
What's going on today?

Never a truer word spoken. Just went unconditional.

LoRab, did you put in your btsc PM? I definitely put in for you, but don't have the btsc yet.

Same question to Sorsha?

Yes, but I forgot to include Marmot on the PM. So it's delayed.

full speed ahead into the super spooky jungle

I got my other BTSC but not Sorsha. Did you forget to send?

I sure did forget.

Also, I just found out last night my dad is in the hospital, so my participation in this game is kinda up in the air. Heading to the hospital now.

Oh no sorsha! Sending good thoughts your way!

INH, did you forget to put in for BTSC?

He's on Exile Island. He can't post or BTSC this round.

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

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

SVS and Quin- want to btsc? Haven't met either of you yet!

Tomorrow night, of course. After that I'd love to meet DF too and reconnect with INH!

Opt_Outside wrote:SVS and Quin- want to btsc? Haven't met either of you yet!

Yes I would like that

Opt_Outside wrote:SVS and Quin- want to btsc? Haven't met either of you yet!

Awwwwww yeahhhhhhhhhh

What do we think is in the jungle?

This is what I'm thinking tbh (language warning):

Ha! Lorab and I are on the same wavelength!

Golden wrote:Ha! Lorab and I are on the same wavelength!

I don't get to bring out the smokey Dee video nearly often enough these days lol.

Also amused that we both have the same thought and the opposite reaction.

I think it's a nudist colony, myself.

S~V~S wrote:Hope it all works out with your Dad Sorsha,

Thanks guys. He's gonna be in for a few days but he'll be okay.



I should be able to stay in the game if I haven't been voted out already!

The tribe was awfully quiet, like a Scooby Doo ghost town. Things were lurking in the bushes. A pair of red eyes was looking at Quin in the night.

"Did anyone else see that?" he shrieked, jumping back and startling Doodle.

"What did I tell you about disturbing my beauty sleep?!" chastised Epi.

A ghostly noise came from the jungle. Very eerie.
Quin, LoRab, SVS, DF and speed went to investigate the strange noise.

"What if it's immunity?" pondered chuck.

"It's not," proffered Golden, "it's probably a death trap."

The brave ventured in, and after an hour, all came back unscathed.

"Coast is clear," shrugged SVS.

"Yep, nothing to see here," said LoRab.

The rest of the tribe wasn't so sure, but they all hunkered into bed anyway. Just happy to have a consistent shelter over their heads.

Then came tribal.

"So we meet again. I have a date with Alex Trebek tonight, so let's do this and do it snappy," glanced a put-off Scotty Probst.

Scotty cracked the whip and the tribe instantly scattered to write down their votes.

"I'll get the votes," said Probst.

Probst put his finger down his throat and, making sure his audience was watching, regurgitated all the votes from the voting jar.

"Wow! That was amazing!" screamed OptOut.

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and you wish to play it, now would be the time to do so."

The tribe collectively raised their eyebrows.

No one budged.

“Ok. 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.

[center]CHALLENGE #7: It Boggles the Mind (Nimbleness Bonus)
Individual Immunity Challenge[/center][/size]
Your minds must be tired after the grueling days spent out here. Think it's savvy enough still to unscramble some words?

Given is a 4x4 grid of letters. In this challenge, players must list up to 20 words of 3 letters or more and PM them to me- BY 11PM EST

Words are formed from adjoining letters in the proper sequence. They may join horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to the left, right or up-and-down. No letter square, however, may be used more than once within a single word.

TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED:
Any word (noun, adjective, adverb, etc.) plural of, form of, or tense is acceptable as long as it can be found in the Abridged Merriam-Webster English dictionary. There are no proper nouns or contractions allowed. Must be a standalone word.

Any word that appears on more than one player’s list will be crossed off all lists. We’re looking for unique words, people! All remaining words will be scored.

SCORING:
Number of Letters = Points
3 = 1
4 = 1
5 = 2
6 = 3
7 = 5
8 or more = 11

Additionally, if a player finds the special 9-letter Survivor-related word in the cube (adhering to all previous rules in word finding), he or she will receive 5 points (and not 11 points from the length itself), regardless of repeats. This word does not count toward your 20 word limit.

The player who has earned the most points wins immunity! Let's get started.

There was a noise in the jungle. Do you investigate?

Can I interest anyone in BTSC?

You sure can. Can I put your name down?

LoRab wrote:Can I interest anyone in BTSC?

Yah hah. I look forward to chatting.

For BTSC I have Opt, can i try for Sorsha again?

And glad to hear everything should be OK, Sorsha.

Elo and inh, up for btsc?

Hey chuck! Wanna chat?

Golden wrote:Elo and inh, up for btsc?

Sure.

Opt, you mentioned wanting to have BTSC with me tonight as well, so I'll pencil you in too.

LoRab wrote:Hey chuck! Wanna chat?

Sure

Wow.

I cannot find ANY 8 letter words.

S~V~S wrote:For BTSC I have Opt, can i try for Sorsha again?

I'm up for trying with you again tonight as long as you can send my name in again.

Quin are you still interested too?

I just sent it in and asked them. I would think, considering your circumstances, it should be fine.

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.

Best I found was 7.

Oh no sorry I have quin and svs tonight- I meant tomorrow!

I found a 9-letter word and like 63 8-letter-words that aren't in the Merriam Webster Dictionary or any dictionary for that matter

Whoops.

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