The Syndicate

Wait, does one each mean we each can only choose one, or that each item may only be selected by one player? Because I want eyeglasses too.

I would assume the idea is not to duplicate.

In that case I'll take Letter from Family, which I can read broodingly like Sawyer from that other show about people on an island.

That is correct. I ask that you pick one unique item per person.

Opt_outside - reclaiming wolf based avatars for the syndicate 2017!

Nice to meet you.

I brought my crossword book for kicks if anyone who needs a break from the hustle of tribe life wants to borrow a page. Let's get down to business!

Welcome Opt_Outside! I very much hope you enjoy your first game here. If there is anything I can do for you to help you acclimate please let me know!

A note if I end up on opposite tribes from SVS, you guys should keep her around.

You have my allegiance oh DH.

And welcome O_O !

Never played a lms game before. Teach me the ways, great and mighty DH!

Not to worry! I will legitimately protect and be loyal to anyone who is serious about being loyal to me.


I realize the majority of these pledges are paper crowns. That's OK. If you provide for the King, you survive.

Also, welcome Opt!

@Hosts~

How does this happen, and how quickly? Not voting or posting? Or is this something you will explain later?

And is 6PM Eastern going to be the phase ending ballpark for the whole game?

With every fiber of my being I hope hunger/thirst go down when you don't post or participate or vote

Checking in. Parents are visiting from out of town, so won't be very responsive until Monday. For luxury item, taking the nail polish—gotta look good for the TV!

I was going to bring eyeglasses so I can use the lenses to start a fire, but that was taken and I'm unclear from my quick read-through if we can take the same item as someone else. Instead I brought a picture of Keri Russel for to start a fire with friction.

Let's get truckin!

I just got one question:

I really don't see a need for any of those items. If there was tea on the island, I would bring my mug, but other than that everything seems pretty pointless. So...I will choose to keep my wedding ring.

So how are the two tribes of nine determined? Anyone know? Scotty?

SVS picked the ring first, you're obligated to choose what's left, unfortunately.

Your wellness levels will fluctuate in several ways as the game progresses. Just like when you're deciding between a salad or 4 delicious-looking muffins.

As for end of phases, I'm probably going to be ending them around 11p-midnight, depending on my time zone. This may be slightly inconvenient to some of you, and I apologize, but most of my time comes at the end of work, which happens to be close to 11p. I'll make that abundantly clear at the start of each phase.

I do ask that you pick an item no one has selected- in sorry about the miscommunication on that. I promise there is a method to my madness!

And yes, I know how tribes are determined, thanks for asking

So for those wondering, to lessen confusion:

According to my best guess, Day 0 ends in ~13 Hours

Thanks Scotty. Six would have been nice, but I can stay up later for challenges if need be. And I was really hoping for "Yes! Voting=food, posting=drinks" but I will be happy to vote low participators off the island if need be.

Sorry. In that case I choose cowboy hat cause I look darn cute in one.

Has anyone not checked in?

Asking so I know who to blast first.

Everyone has checked in.


Also gameboy for three reasons.

1. Entertainment
2. I can take it apart and like do stuff with it
3. I can throw it at people
4. Who wouldn't want a gameboy?

A message from the King, a message from the King!

These people have yet to check in according to my records. Should make tribal council much easier for the people unfortunate enough to be stuck with them.

5. Dom
14. Soneji
16. Epignosis

Lying to the King, checking in fourth-from-last, and not taking the earliest opportunity to pledge fealty?

Welcome to TS!

My name is Sigurd

standard rule of thumb if I look bad I'm good
If I look good but not super good I'm either bad or busy
If I'm a super civ I either love my role or I'm bad
So just assume whenever anyone wants to lynch me that I'm good.

Speaking of staying alive I have a good reason why you shouldn't vote me off, why shouldn't sig get voted off? You might ask well I'll tell you.

I'm a great person
Super good at survivors
Am currently playing a real life survivor game.
and
I'd never ever ever betray anyone who wants to be my friend, promise.

I pledge fealty to no man, better to die on my feet then live on my knees!

lol what am I saying? Being in Kentucky is starting to southernize me.

Why should you be the king hmmmmmmm? Why not someone else like Golden or LC or SVS or the Gameboy??????

In fact I might worship LC as a sorry for the recent witch hunts or i'll spend all game trying to kill him haven't decided what yet.

Also -1 point for using the Walking Dead that show is blagh

I'm the King 'cuz I say so. I'm the best, baddest, biggest mothertrucker around these parts. As I said from jump street you're either in line or you're in the way. Anybody who falls in line is gonna live the high life. I'm talkin' food, water, luxary items, no Tribal Councils. Anybody with the balls to step to the King is gonna find out real quick that's a bad idea.

Yes TWD is garbage but Negan is

A) The best gif source for the gimmick
B) The best part of TWD

Remember that totem pole we talked about earlier, folks? Starting now, here's your first opportunity to climb the ranks:

The 3 remaining players to not check in are officially marked. Persona Non Grata, big time. Anyone who takes these three players off the board will earn themselves a pretty solid spot on the totem.

Unless and until *after* they check in, they contribute big time to their tribes. In which case, I'm sure you'll sort it out.

Dear diary,

So. Crazy thing happened.

After I arrived I got separated from the group. I didn't know where anybody was! At first I panicked and then I realized I didn't have my inhaler with me, so I did my best to calm down. I thought it would be good to use the stars to navigate with, but it was daytime, and those wouldn't be coming out for a while. I wondered about that thing where moss only grows on one side of a tree or something, but I guess I'm not really good recognizing plants. Then I realized I hadn't applied any sunblock, so I decided to just move in one direction and see if I could find my way just using the old noodle.

Well anyway I passed through a clearing and found myself in the presence of this gorilla. It was beating its chest and making such a fuss! I was like, "Who whizzed on his bananas in his Corn Flakes this morning?" you know? Man, I thought I was in trouble. I said to myself, "Boy, you're in such a pickle, you might not even say you're in a pickle. You're in the relish." I mean, it looked that bad for me.

Then someone called my name and I looked around and there everybody was! They were just going on about their business! So I tried to find out why everybody was so calm with this angry, violent gorilla in their presence. They said, "What gorilla?"

You're gonna laugh when you hear this. That wasn't a gorilla. It was just DharmaHelper, another contestant here. Boy, he sure had me worried! He didn't even have a suit or mask on or anything. Wowee.

If the producers have anything like my arrival in store, I'd better watch out!

XOXO

No. We can live peacefully side by side as long as he doesn't try to overthrow my power.

And I chose earmuffs. Because of the 2 crappy options left, that seemed like the less crappy.

There are I'm sure several gifs related to Negan and his wives but that is a rare instance wherein I would prefer not to indulge. :P

Welcome to the game Lorab.

You get points for immediately acknowledging my rule. Even if you lose points for suggesting you might oppose it.
