The Syndicate

In any case, I've got to go to bed now. I've advocated for my survival on past performance, planned loyalty, and unique thread perspective. I've been completely honest about the results of my idol search and my role ability. If you vote me off, you're shooting this tribe in the foot—and the people who support me won't forget it.

Wilgy is demonstrating, at best, incompetence with the mechanics of the game in not knowing he had to send a PM. That's assuming he's telling the truth. At worst, he's feigning ignorance to delay our progress, both in thread discussion and BTSC, for purposes I can only guess at. In either case, he's clearly not prepared to be an asset to the tribe at the same level as me.

But why is it worthwhile to keep you around?

I can only compare past performances. In Day 1, I contributed to the challenge using 2 energy compared to Wilgy's 1. In Day 2, I correctly advocated for the right strategy and didn't waver, compared to Wilgy wanting to cast a yellow rock due to perceived loyalty to someone on the other team. I've already established myself as objectively more helpful to the team than Wilgy. What else do you want from me?

i want you to talk about yourself without mentioning anyone else. I don't want comparisons between you and other players. I don't want you to make this tribe more divisive. That's actually why I've voted for you, as I stated when I voted. So, without menioning any other player, I want to know what your worth is to this tribe. And how you are of value to the unity of this tribe and our working together towards a shared ideal of winning.

We've got some time before the vote is final, so let me clear something up.

Wilgy's made his move. It's done, cards on the table. I wanna be crystal clear on this, none of what I'm about to tell you all is a joke or a gimmick. If folks want to switch their votes to Wilgy, you have clearance to do that. Unfortunately I think the clock's run a little too long and the Boom vote might be inevitable.

But don't mistake that for Wilgy having won anything tonight.Oh no, quite the opposite.

Everyone on this tribe now has two options. First, you could switch your vote to Wilgy if you haven't already.

Second, you could keep your vote wherever you have it currently. If you do however, know that these are the rules from now on:

Nobody gives Wilgy BTSC
Nobody gives Wilgy Food
Nobody gives Wilgy water
Nobody gives Wilgy shelter
Nobody gives wilgy any idol hints
Nobody helps, aides, or assist Wilgy in any way.

If you do any of the above, you are dead to me and to the tribe. I want to reiterate this is not a joke, or a gimmick, or an empty threat. Your choices are: Vote for Wilgy tonight, or cut him out of everything remotely related to the tribe from hereafter.

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 :^(

If those are the rules then vote for me.

I'll just end up getting weaker and hindering the team. I'd like to not go against DH. I think he has a unifying presence here.

goodnight Mamana.

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

Bullshit. You read the host post enough to know you had to PM for the rock choice, but not that you had to PM for BTSC? Did you read your role?

I don't appreciate being called a liar, especially when there's no mafia to lynch :^(

I only knew about the btsc via Speedchucks question "hey Wilgy you want btsc" or some matter. I thought "sure that sounds fun."

Catching the rock pm thing was just a lucky skimming memory.

You must understand, the evidence is most unnerving.

I'm sorry wilgy. I owe you one.

Evidence for what? I don't see why anyone would purposely hinder thier team.

@Golden, it's cool, it's like I said in btsc I'm just here for fun and the ride. Winning isn't really a priority.

So, then, you're just not paying attention to the game?

Yes! :^)

DrWilgy wrote:Yes! :^)

I saw you much earlier reading the thread today.

Hmm... I do gotta say, I look forward to the brawl when only Lions are left.

Only players that really really really wanna win remaining. That'll be interesting.

@DH, yeah I glanced at it throughout the day but was never really able to catch up. Didn't think to post because of that, didn't feel that it would contribute anything. Again, I'm sorry that caused worry, didn't really think too much about it.

That was a tactical error on your part.

I hope your cold recovers quickly, and that you otherwise had an excellent day. But in a game sense this move makes the most sense given the information that's available.

And good luck to you DH. You probably won't need it. You aren't unlucky :^)

Linki- March?

Wilgy, I said last night in the chatzy with me, you, and Golden, that I wouldn't be voting for either of you today.

Are you releasing me from this promise?

Do as your heart tells you my friend :^)

Wilgy, do you want people to vote for you?

Without the anti Wilgy rules then not really. I'd like antagonists voted out because they'd cause chaos within the tribe.

With everyone following anti Wilgy rules then yes. I'd be a weak member of the team.

It's possible my reaction was a bit harsh. I just see someone who has expressed loyalty to another tribe, and who might not have openly lied about being silenced, but certainly by all appearances let that lie go on as long as possible.

I feel like we should keep players around who want to be here and have a competitive edge...

Wilgy sounds like he's got a lot on his plate, so his focus wouldn't be here necessarily.

Again it's a shame anyone at all had to go.

I have a feeling that we're going to have to do this every other night when there isn't immunity unfortunately...

Bummer.

Lame.

I doubt very much their tribal had this much intrigue and drama. Nerds can't even win at losing.

Pandemonium broke out at camp, with players scrambling to get their votes in order. It was an early decision that Boomslang was a weak link to some people, including DH.

"Listen, the bottom of the totem pole is only a part of the totem pole. It's the one low enough that dogs can pee on," claimed DH.

"I don't want to be on your totem pole. I'm my own person!"

This seemed like an easy vote. But then Wilgy popped back in from the jungle after going hunting for a very special butterfly that was always out of his grasp.

"I almost got him!" struggled Wilgy.

"And where were you when we were talking?" condemned LoRab.

"Outside playing in the trees. You should try it some time," admitted Wilgy.

Taking this, the tribe marched to their first tribal. “Hi folks!” screamed Scotty Probst, “Welcome to tribal for the first time! Have you met my marmot?"

In the darkness, a marmot flew through the air dashing for various bugs.

"Anyway, it's time to vote out one of your own," Probst gestured to his audience. One by one, the tribe walked up to the confession booth and wrote down a name of a player. After the last person went through the portal, Probst excused himself and dove headfirst into a hole in the ground. The tribe looked stunned. A few seconds later, he emerged from the dias in the back with a jar of votes as if nothing had happened.

“Wow! That was amazing!” hollered speedchuck.

“I know. I know. Now…if anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wishes to play it, you may do so now.”

Everyone looked around warily. But no one moved.

“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.

1st vote:
2nd vote:
3rd vote:
4th vote:
5th vote:
6th vote:
7th vote:
8th vote:
9th vote:
After a strenuous night filled with confusion and annoyance at having to vote out one of their own, Mamana learned through Treemail of the other team’s upheavel.

I'm gonna need everyone on the same page here. Wilgy barely escaped tribal after some very uncool shenanigans. I'm a benevolent King, but not one that suffers many insults or fools. Wilgy, as part of the tribe you're part of what gives us the win or the loss, so I'm willing to do a few things if you are.

The Anti-Wigly rules are temporarily lifted n the following circumstances:

Wilgy participates in challenges to the best of his ability
Wilgy provides food, fire, and shelter to the best of his ability
Wilgy is honest and forthright towards the tribe

If you break any of those rules, or I smell a whiff of you might possibly break one of them, or you misread one of them, or you so much as think sideways, and it's your ass.

I'm going to further explore those rock crags. See if I can see anything that boom didn't see.

The footbridge is new, I like new shit. I'm gonna do that.

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

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?

No challenge, by the way?

Caught my eye too so I'll see you there!

Extra eyes are always a good thing.

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

That's what I figure.

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.

To wilgy and everyone else FTR- it's all game talk for me. No real life shade meant whatsoever and I'm sure you're lovely

To Boom - Tough Break.

To Wilgy - I'm glad to have you on the tribe, I'd just be *more* glad if I could reliably count on you as a known quantity.

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.

I got food poisoning. It needs to be treated.

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.

[center]Challenge #3: Getting Dirty [Strength][/center]
Players square off against another randomly assigned player on the other team to push the other person off the arena into the mud.

Players are given 8 actions- 2 “Hit Lows”, 2 “Hit Highs”, and 4 “Blocks”. Both players will use all 8 actions in whichever order they wish by WRITING IN THREAD and BOLDING your choices. The order and combination of actions dictate the quality of hits.

If a player:
-blocks while the other person hits high/hits low, the attacker rolls a d2.
-hits low while the other player hits high, both players roll a d8.
-hits high while the other player hits high or hits low while the other player hits low, both players roll a d6
-blocks while the other player blocks, both players get 0.

First player to get to 20 points, or whoever has the highest total after using all 8 actions, will knock the other player off the arena (If both players reach/exceed 20 in the same round, win goes to higher number).

First team to reach 4 knock-outs wins immunity for their tribe as well as reward of fishing gear!

**Note that all players will lose 3 energy for participating in this challenge. If a player does not send in actions in a match-up, the opponent wins the knock-out. If neither sends in actions, host will roll for winner.

To sign up, please WRITE IN-THREAD that you wish to participate.
Since this is a 7v7 challenge, 1 player will sit. Once you have signed up, you may not back out.

The battle event will be revealed at end of day, and will proceed in the order that people sign up. Once people start signing up, I will edit this post with the matchups.

1. Opt_Out vs Long Con
2. INH vs SVS
3. speedchuck vs Sorsha
4. LoRab vs DF
5. DH vs Quin
6. DrWilgy vs notsawyer
7. Golden vs Epi

Good luck!
