Survivor: Lupus Tribal Thread

[Barkeep49]

All members of the Lupus tribe may read and post here. Messages to the tribe and tribal council will also be held in this thread.

Your team buff is blue.

[KWhit]

Hey guys. Normal villager dude checking in. I don't think I need to post in blue in this thread, but I will just in case.

[Swaggs]

Just checking in, also.

Everyone make sure to fill in the "Meet the Survivors" thing, in case it could be a challenge or something.

[KWhit]

Yep. Just did it.

[Abe Sargent]

Checking in as well

[Blade6119]

Checking in, posted my response to the challenge. Waiting on rum now i think to do his then our team is set. I think we would be the first team done too.

[Chief Rum]

Hey everyone. Checking in. I'm not a wolf! Oh wait!

[Chief Rum]

Gonny try that again...

Hey everyone. Checking in. I'm not a wolf! Oh wait!

Much better...[/

[Blade6119]

chief, go post in the Meet The Survivors Thread

[Abe Sargent]

I'm gobsmacked by how good our team is.

[Blade6119]

I'm gobsmacked by how good our team is.

I think we have a good bunch here...i think we will do very well this game. Still waiting on chief to complete the challenge though, but i no longer think we will be the first team done. We could have been, which i think might have netted us a reward. But alas, it shouldnt be a major issue this early.

[KWhit]

I think this challenge is going to be some kind of "How well do you know your teammates" deal. So we should probably start looking at each others' answers and try to learn something about each other.

Good thinking.

Everyone study up a bit. This seems like a pretty logical first challenge.

the 4 posted so far, so you dont have to go hunting for them

[Chief Rum]

chief, go post in the Meet The Survivors Thread

Yeah, I was cutting in and out before having to run off to work. I knew I had until Monday night, so I decided I would wait until now before going into that thread.

[Chief Rum]

Good thinking.

Everyone study up a bit. This seems like a pretty logical first challenge.

But the answers would be right here for us all to see. Unless we're on the honor system with that. I don't see any other way we would have that as a challenge.

Just a nonsense post to move us up to the top of the "most posts in our tribal thread" list. Take that, Oz (who can't read this anyway).

Tree mail arrives, it reads

Will you be the ones to find the picture?
Do so and become an island fixture
Otherwise your stay here could be mighty quick
And you will lose out on a cool new trick.

Report to the Challenge thread

[Blade6119]

Well, i hope we avoided the elmination tonight...i hope you all found all 5 and made sure they would count.

[Barkeep49]

Welcome to tribal council. During tribal you will get to experience the wit and intellect of our special TC host, hoopsguy. He'll be here to help lead discussion and you must answer any question he asks. Of course you're perfectly welcome to debate with each other as well.

Tribal council has officially begun and will have a 10 PM Eastern deadline tomorrow. You may vote and unvote freely, but all votes MUST be PM'ed to me (NOT to hoopsguy) with the name of who you are voting for. Please also include your tribe's name (to make life easy for me). Tribal council will go on simultaneously with the next reward challenge so you'll have to work together even as you're voting out one of your own.

Have fun.

[KWhit]

Well that sucks.

[Swaggs]

This does suck. It looked like we almost made it into second place, but couldn't overcome the numbers the top two tribes had. :(

It stinks that the bottom two tribes have to vote someone out.

[hoopsguy]

Guys, it looked like you made a really good run at it, given that the competition had bigger numbers. What do you think you could have done differently that might have pushed you over the top and kept you from being in this position right now?

[Blade6119]

Do we both have to vote someone out, or just 1 member from the two tribes combined?

[Barkeep49]

Do we both have to vote someone out, or just 1 member from the two tribes combined?
Both tribes vote out one of their own members.

[Blade6119]

Guys, it looked like you made a really good run at it, given that the competition had bigger numbers. What do you think you could have done differently that might have pushed you over the top and kept you from being in this position right now?

I think the obvious answer for me would have been to try and pull one of the extras into our fold. We finished a mere 1-2 points off the lead, despite having 1 less man(and as such 5 less answers). I think a little effort in this regard would have swung us out of this position, and possibly into the leader spot.

The games not fair, barkeep told us that, and today it smacked us in the face. Our goal now is to smack back, as we have a pretty solid group here and i think we can do some damage if the following challenges arent so numbers based.

[Blade6119]

Anyone volunteered for barkeep yet as to whatever he has planned? Barkeep asked for a volunteer, and i havent seen any discussion yet. Ill volunteer if not, im always happy to compete for tribe lupus(and hopefully restore this slight we have suffered)

[hoopsguy]

Blade, you posted an idea about the snaking responsibilities for pictures that was latched onto by all of the other teams. Do you think this may have inadvertantly helped the competition more than it did your team - given that there were two teams that already had more resources?

Any changes for how you plan to communicate in the general thread, going forward?

Please remember that you are NOT to post whether you have volunteered. That might be why there's been no discussion about it. Of course it might be because no one's volunteered as well :)

To be honest, right now i dont feel too bad about what occured. Ill be quite honest, as i may be dead soon anyways. We have wolves in this game, barkeep confirmed that. As such, for all i know my team has 2-3 wolves on it. Im going to continue to do my best for myself and my team, but im not going to be too cut-throat against the other teams until i figure out a bit more clearly where i need to be attacking. If the wolves used my idea to win, it sucks and im upset. If my idea helped villagers remain safe and gain the seer role im quite pleased.

To summarize, i think i helped them...but im not yet sure it was a bad thing.

For now i dont quite know a better communication method. A possible route would be to wait until the deadline and do everything then(observing other teams actions), but im not sure this team has the availability to do undertake such a plan as OZ did today.

[Blade6119]

Please remember that you are NOT to post whether you have volunteered. That might be why there's been no discussion about it. Of course it might be because no one's volunteered as well :)

Whoops, im sorry...forget i said that then :eek:

[Blade6119]

Anyone else want to answer those questions? Anyone else around tonight?

[hoopsguy]

Have you seen anything in either this thread or in the main thread that has you thinking someone is a wolf? I've hosted a few seasons of Survivor in the past and we have never had a problem with Werewolves ... I'm pretty sure that sort of thing is an urban legend.

Heck, it is hard enough to survive and outlast your fellow HUMAN competitors! And if someone was able to survive a meeting with werewolves then I would certainly expect their posts to count.

Yes, i have begun to notice small trends with players that could potentially lead to wolfish behavior. Whats difficult here is even the wolves wanted immunity. To be honest, i feel i gleaned more from those who did poorly or contributed very little then those who were very active. I think this game is going to twice as hard as normal, as im trying to work on who i trust before who i distrust.

Dont tease, the post count issue is sensitive to some other members. I mean, i TOTALLY dont care, but i heared some other people were pissed off that i lost that many posts...i mean they lost ;)

[Swaggs]

A little late to the questions, but I agree with Blade on the first question. I definitely think our only shortcoming in this challenge was not lobbying to get the "free agent" players into our tribe. We played very efficiently and have a strong team, so the lack of numbers is really the only thing I saw that kept us from winning.

[Swaggs]

As for the werewolves, I'm not thinking about them a whole lot just yet. I'm just hoping to get our team, as intact as possible, into the merge (assuming their is one) or to progress as far as we possibly can.

[Chief Rum]

Man, I'm pissed (just generally, not at anyone specific). We got screwed today, and I think BK will even admit it isn't entirely our (my) fault.

I sent in the commissioner pics, and fell for BK's poor wording. I even pointed it out in my PM that it was ambiguous, but I was short on time and couldn't wait for a PM from him to be sure. I should have played it safe (I found a site with four of the five commissioners on it on the same page). Anyway, instead of sending in the one link with the four (with another for Goodell), I sent in individual pics for all five.

BK counted it as picture links per commissioner link, rather than all falling under the one "commissioners" category. As it was my third category, we got points for the first two (Manning commercial, Lombardi trophy) I sent in (and maybe got partial credit for the commissioners, not sure; BK only accepted the first three commish pics), but got nothing for my last two (Super Bowl XLI coin, The Catch).

I'm really bummed about how it went. Those pics could have been the difference. I'm so sorry guys.

And on that note, I might as well make the offer of being the sacrifical lamb. Not for that so much, but my car's battery is acting up, meaning I have to use a lot of my free time tomorrow getting it fixed (car won't even start) before work at night. And then Wednesday I work at my other job (before hte main one), also limiting my time. Given today's error and the next two days, it just makes sense to me that you all should vote me off.

Now, if someone totally blows it here or reveals to be a wolf and you would rather vote them off, I would love to stay. But assuming nothing like that comes up, I would understand and even offer to be that sacrifice.

Sorry again, guys. Hopefully Lupus can survive, because this a really strong group.

[Barkeep49]

Tree mail arrives.

Do you have a way with the written word?
The winner will hold back the werewolf herd
So hopefully you can rhyme
And have an easy time

I tend to think that there is perhaps some incentive for the wolves to try to lose the challenges. I don't know if that's true or not, but it seems like it would be a good gameplay mechanic (not to get too meta-game or anything)...

If that's the case, Lathum's coming out of the blue saying "I already sent in my pics, and oops, they're repeats of a bunch that have already been sent in" is kind of fishy. I suppose Rum's mistake could be construed as fishy as well, especially when followed by the "make me the sacrificial lamb" post (that kind of thing ALWAYS seems suspicious to me). But I'm not ready to cast real suspicion on Rum yet, as the mistake seems to be an easy one to make.

Of course my thinking all hinges upon whether or not the wolves would try to win a challenge or lose one. I'm not sure at this point on how I feel about that. It's entirely possible that wolves would be trying to win the challenges just as hard (because to actively try to lose a challenge would quickly put your head on the chopping block).

Anyway, it's something to be on the lookout for, because I could totally see some scenarios in which the wolves would want to lose challenges for their teams.

[KWhit]

On to today's reward challenge. In Werewolf words are important. It's how you decide who might be a wolf or how a wolf can save himself (or herself) from getting the ax. Today's challenge will test your abilities to use words. Each tribe is to pick a theme and you will then write four poems on that theme.

One poem will be an acrostic of at least 6 lines, one a limerick, one an 8-20 line poem with a rhyme scheme, and one a haiku.

The poems are due by 7 PM today here in the thread. You may post your poems all at once or separately as the day goes on, but once a poem is posted it may not be changed.

Posted for reference.

We need to choose a theme now. It needs to be something that has broad appeal to FOFC as a whole as BK said we may have guest judges.

Let's brainstorm a bit to what our theme should be.

Also, I'd like to take the 8-20 line poem with a rhyme scheme if that's all right with everyone.

[KWhit]

Some ideas for a theme (and my thoughts on them in parenthesis):

Football (probably too obvious)
FOF2007 (see above)
FOFC and the people who post here (could be funny, but not unique)
Music (wide range of possibilities, broad appeal)
A Day at the Workplace (something everyone can relate to, possiblity of humor)
Computer/Video Games (near and deal to all our hearts)
The Life of a WW Player (could be some funny self depricating humor here)


I also think that we HAVE to make these humerous (with a bit of heart or nostalgia thrown in). But humor is the way to win this challenge I think.

[Abe Sargent]

I like the Life of a WW Player myself, that's some good thinking. I think your humor insight is solid.

[Abe Sargent]

We...uh...should probably start working on this soon, right?

[Swaggs]

I feel bad, but I doubt I'm going to be able to help much with this one. I don't have constant access from work and can't really do something, like put together a poem (not to mention four), in a matter of minutes.

This would have been a good challenge for a weekend, but I'm not feeling real good about our chances of getting anything done today.

I guess we should, at least, pick a topic. I like the idea of the Life of a WW Player, but w/ guest judges, it may not go over too big with them. I would probably vote for that one, though.

[Abe Sargent]

Tell ya what, let me go ahead and toss one out there.

This is using the Day in teh Life of a WW PLayer theme. A Haiku is 5-7-5 right?


A Wolf in the Hand
Is Worth Two in the Bushes
Unless You Get Hanged

Don't be too clever
They'll get you for being nice
If you are two-faced

The wife is asleep
A Night Action you must keep
The forums you creep


-Anxiety

[Swaggs]

I will see if I can get an arcostic together...

[Swaggs]

Alright... I feel pretty cheesy about this, but it will be better than nothing, I guess:

Lest you be chosen,
You shall hide amongst the masses,
Not so much that you are marked as...what is the word?
Conspicuous. That is it.
He who barks the loudest leads the charge,
Even though wolves are often known to bark, themselves.
Death awaits the most popular. The rest will hope to see another day.

[Swaggs]

Abe, yours is really good.

If you guys like mine, feel free to submit it.

I need to go in about 10 minutes, but will be back on for a few minutes after 4:00.

[KWhit]

Abe, yours is really good.

If you guys like mine, feel free to submit it.

I like it. Yours too Anxiety. I'll work on one now too.

[Swaggs]

Alright guys.

Good luck on the last two. Hopefully we can pull this together.

Will be back in, briefly, in a bit.

[Chief Rum]

All right, here's a limerick.

He wanted to control the masses
Cuz everyone acted like asses
He needed some victims
He focused on lupines
And now it is wolves Ben harasses

[Abe Sargent]

If you guys like one of mine, which one do you prefer?

[Blade6119]

Ok, what do i need to do?

[Chief Rum]

If you guys like one of mine, which one do you prefer?

I like the third one the best.

[Chief Rum]

Ok, what do i need to do?

We still need a rhyming poem, I believe. We have an acrostic, haiku and limerick.

Are the outside judges non-WW players, though? They might be WW players not in this game.

If they are true WW novices, I hope SkyDog isn't one of them, given my limerick. ;)

[Chief Rum]

Sorry, that should be in response to it maybe being too inside of a joke.

[Blade6119]

it wont be SD. Im sure hoops will be one, prob. antmeister and someone else.

[KWhit]

I'm already working on it. I'm almost done.

[Blade6119]

The moon begins to rise
The shifting of the tides
My heart races
My mind paces
I begin to struggle this new foe
I’m overpowered from head to toe
The life in me is almost gone
I cannot have very long
Wolfs bane beckons me to do its bidding
Its too late now, there is no quitting
I approach my sinister foe
There is nowhere he can go
I take my time, enjoy the work
He voted for me, so I must kill this jerk
I hear the clatter of awakened rivals
If they saw, I would be killed for my trifles
I sneak through the darkness, of which I know well
And return to my home, thinking of what story to tell
Day comes, no one saw a thing
After the game, my praises they will sing


It could use another line or two, and some editing...i dont love it, so anyone please work on it a bit. But its the max 20 lines and i think its ok

[Blade6119]

Forgot about theme though, damnit

[Swaggs]

Looks like everyone did a great job of getting this together.

Is someone available to post them all (in the main thread)?

Any strategy in posting early vs closer to the deadline? I think we should wait until near the deadline, so the other tribes don't know what we are up to or what they are up against.

[Blade6119]

Well, does my qualify under our theme? I wrote it before i knew we had a theme. Kwhit is writing one too, so lets hold off a bit.

I think we post it at the deadline, and i should be here for it

[KWhit]

Here's mine:

Early in the morning, with fear in my heart,
I check the boards and receive quite a start.
Wondering am I alive or am I dead,
PM indicator flashing - is it what I dread?

How will it be? This terror the wolves send.
Teeth tearing throat, or some other end?
Wait, don't panic. Don't overreact.
I open the message to see if I was whacked.

I'm not dead at all. Oh thank the lord!
We've just been exiled to our own spot on the board.
"Werewolf games have moved" the moderator boasts.
No longer a Grizzled Vet? OMG!!! PEOPLE LOST POSTS!

[KWhit]

Also, by the way... Barkeep just posted this about the haiku.


I would stick with the traditional format of 5/7/5 as the requirement. I applaud, and hope the judges recognize, the tribe(s) that go beyond even that in adherence to traditional forms.


I don't know too much about haikus but if there are other parts of the form that we need to incorporate into it, we should try to do so. I think they are supposed to deal with nature, maybe. Not sure what else is required... Anxiety?

[KWhit]

Another thought. I'm a little afraid that our theme might be one that another group might pick too (no inside info, I just think it might be a tad obvious). I like the poems we have and think we should stick with the theme, but I wonder if it might make sense for me to go post what our theme is in the main challenge thread. That way we get credit for picking the theme first and if others are already working on similar poems they have a choice to make. Either switch now and re-write everything or look like they came up with the idea second.

What do you guys think?

[Abe Sargent]

traditional haiku mentions nature. I could try that real quick, if you like. Let's see.


Evening and the Moon
Bring out fur and fang and flesh
While the sun ignites

[KWhit]

The Schmidty Defense
Is to never admit skill
Always be Eeyore

I worry that this might be too much of an inside joke. I don't even get what it means.

:)

[Abe Sargent]

Have to go soon (date night on Tuesday night reemeber) and will not be available for a while. Let me try another or two briefly.

Sun should be captialized in the above Haiku.


The Moon brings death yet
The Sun brings another chance
Cycle continues


I am of the Moon
Evening strengthens my desire
Primal rage grows strong


Cycle continues
The Dawn brings redemption now
Cycle continues

(I like that line, obviously)

Sun up, day begins
Sun down, hope is at an end
Cycle continues

or alternatively, this as a final line

Pretend something else


Hope something here you guys can use!!!


-Anxiety

[KWhit]

traditional haiku mentions nature. I could try that real quick, if you like. Let's see.


Evening and the Moon
Bring out fur and fang and flesh
While the sun ignites

Yes, yes. I really like the first two lines, but I don't see line 3 going with them.

What about:

Evening and the Moon
Bring out fur and fang and flesh
Tomorrow, come quick

or

Evening and the Moon
Bring out fur and fang and flesh
I yearn for morning


Something that conveys the dread of night. I suck at haikus, so go with what you guys think. Just throwing out some ideas.

[KWhit]

And does anybody have comments about mine and Blade's?

[Abe Sargent]

The Schmidty Defense
Is to never admit skill
Always be Eeyore

How about this then?

The Schmidty Defense
Is to confess your bad play
Always be Eeyore

or,

The Schmidty Defense
Is to confess your bad skills
Attacking yourself

The Schmidty Defense
I am the worst game player
Always be Eeyore (or Attacking yourself)

-Anxiety

[KWhit]

Anxiety, I think I prefer this:

Evening and the Moon
Bring out fur and fang and flesh
I yearn for morning

[KWhit]

I don't get the Eeyore reference.

[KWhit]

And by the way, I don't think I'll be around at 7. I'm leaving soon and will be back probably just afterwards - like at 7:30 or so.

SO SOMEBODY HAS TO POST OUR POEMS!!!! Unless I should do it now before I go.

[Abe Sargent]

Anxiety, I think I prefer this:

Evening and the Moon
Bring out fur and fang and flesh
I yearn for morning

Fine by me!!!


I really am fond of the fur and fang and flesh line.


-Anxiety

[KWhit]

Fine by me!!!


I really am fond of the fur and fang and flesh line.

Should morning be capitalized?

[KWhit]

Should morning be capitalized?


Okay. I just looked at some rules and it doesn't look like it needs to be capitalized. But jeez are there a lot of haiku rules!!!

[KWhit]

I have to head out now. So as you guys come and go, you need to give your opinion on which long poem to use - mine or Blade's. Take a look at them above in the thread and post which one you think we should go with. We can only use one of them.

And someone has to be our designated poster. I'll be unavailable until about 7:30. Blade said he "should be here to do it" at the deadline, but I'd like to have a more definitive answer than that. Blade, can you definitely be here close to 7 to post the poems?

Yes, i will be here

And i think your long poem is quite a bit better then mine, mine is rather awful in comparison. Feelings aside, as i wont get upset at all, tell me which you think is better. If you agree with me, ill run with yours.

Id like a list of the 4 though, as we have far more then 4 in this thread now

[KWhit]

by the way i'm posting from the car. glad to see you'll be here to post the poems. I prefer my long poem, but i'm okay with either. I think we have one limeric from cr and I think anxiety and I have a haiku that we like. and somebody posted a good acrostic. we need one of each, so I think we're in good shape. I probably can't post again between now and then.

shouldnt there be an S after 'post' in the last line of kwhit's long poem?

[Blade6119]

Remember, it may suck to have to, but we have to vote someone out of the tribe. Make sure you get your votes in before the 10 PM deadline

Yes, and there is a S at the end of it in my post up above. Ugh. And BK said that you can't change or edit the poems once posted. Hopefully that won't hurt us.

I dont know why i didnt copy it over then...im really sorry there, i just totally missed it...

[KWhit]

I'm a little bit disappointed with our team's showing in this thread. I think we've done okay with the challenges (we'll see, I guess on the second one), but this thread has been like a ghost town today. We need more participation!

Come on, people!!! You can't have real lives!!

WE ARE LUPUS!!!

You keep your Blade to yourself, little man.

I hope were both still around tomorrow kwhit, im enjoying playing with you so far. Ill go out on a limb and say you were the star of the team today(no offense everyone else).

[KWhit]

Thanks. The feeling's mutual. It's been fun so far. I've skipped a bunch of these games due to work, but I'm enjoying it a lot. Now I hope I don't get voted off or eaten tonight!

Speaking of... I still haven't voted and I'm not sure who to go after tonight. I hate it that we have to lose a player (especially since we're already short handed).

It may cause trouble, but i have nothing to hide. Ill be honest and say i voted for chief. He volunteered to be voted off, and i dont have a better reason to vote for anyone else. If i get voted off, its been fun playing with you all and best of luck. If chief does, im sorry buddy and i hope to see you again soon.

Chief, its nothing personal...you volunteered, and with your schedule i dont want you having to feel like you have to stop fixing your car or be late to work to scrounge in a challenge. These can be time consuming, more so them most WW games, and i hope you jump back in next game.

If you dont get voted off, i look forward to continuing to work with you

[KWhit]

Well, we did it guys! Good job on the challenge today. Hopefully this means we're turning things around!

[Blade6119]

Well, were still kicking one of our own out. But about the idols...should we keep them for ourselves, or give both of them to members of the winning team from day one, who got a seer, and hope we get lucky defending that seer. Only one of the idols does anything, so no matter what we do it wont do much.

[Barkeep49]

I'll go fetch the votes

Here's the post from BK about the idols.


Today you'll be playing for something that can save you here on Werewolf Island. I have here two Werewolf Idols. One of them is filled with Wolfbane and will prevent a Werewolf attack from being successful. The other is useless. The winning tribe will decide, in their Tribal Thread, who gets these two Idols. After that the possessor of the Idols may keep or pass, publicly or privately, the Idols.





I take that to mean we get to choose which individuals within the tribe get the 2 idols. I don't think we can (or even SHOULD) give one of them out to another tribe. We gotta keep them for ourselves.

We just need to decide who gets them.

[Blade6119]

This means that our winners for this challenge was Lupus! Great job to everyone. Lupus you know have two idols, a shield idol and a sword idol. One of them is an effective block against the wolves. The other is useless. In your thread you need to agree on who those two idols should go to. They may go to anyone in the game.
Read above, from his results post. You think keeping one of the 4 remaining in the group safe is more important then possibly saving the seer?

[Barkeep49]

First vote
Rum

[Blade6119]

*drum roll*

[Barkeep49]

Second vote:

Chief Rum

Two votes Rum

[KWhit]

Read above, from his results post. You think keeping one of the 4 remaining in the group safe is more important then possibly saving the seer?

Ah... Didn't notice the exact wording when I read it.

Hmmm... Yeah, I do. I think we need to keep these in house.

[Barkeep49]

Third vote:

Swaggs
It's 2 votes Rum, 1 vote Swaggs

[Blade6119]

ohhh, a twist!

[KWhit]

Of course. There's always a twist.

[Blade6119]

Ah... Didn't notice the exact wording when I read it.

Hmmm... Yeah, I do. I think we need to keep these in house.

well we need to decide soon id imagine. Who are the 2 you thinking then?

[Blade6119]

Of course. There's always a twist.

you dont have to post in blue in here buddy, fyi. If you like to, by all means though

[KWhit]

I don't know. I mean... You and me, I guess. We've been the most active. We're the only ones here...

I don't mean to Bogart the idols, but at this point it kind of makes sense.

[KWhit]

you dont have to post in blue in here buddy, fyi. If you like to, by all means though

I know, but it's kind of a habit.

[Barkeep49]

Fourth vote

Chief Rum

That's three votes Rum. I don't need to post the final vote. Bring me your post button. The tribe has spoken.

[Blade6119]

I don't know. I mean... You and me, I guess. We've been the most active. We're the only ones here...

I don't mean to Bogart the idols, but at this point it kind of makes sense.

I dont mind that...ill request the sword over the shield if you dont mind. Do you have any objections?

[KWhit]

Bye Rum. Sorry to see you go, buddy.

[KWhit]

I dont mind that...ill request the sword over the shield if you dont mind. Do you have any objections?

That's fine, but just curious - Why do you say you want the sword?

[Blade6119]

That's fine, but just curious - Why do you say you want the sword?

Superficial reasons...if the idol is to defend, and we have a sword and a shield, i think barkeep wouldnt want it to be the shield(too obvious). Im prob. over thinking it though lol, just my crazy reason.

[Barkeep49]

You have until 9 tomorrow to finalize your decision, so no rush. They will NOT be in play tonight.

[KWhit]

You have until 9 tomorrow to finalize your decision, so no rush. They will NOT be in play tonight.

9pm or am?

[KWhit]

Just read the thread title. 9am.

[Barkeep49]

Ok I should delete that post. You have until morning 9 AM tomorrow. I definitely wanted them in play for the first night's attack.

[Blade6119]

lol bk, your crazy :)

[KWhit]

Ok I should delete that post. You have until morning 9 AM tomorrow. I definitely wanted them in play for the first night's attack.

So just to confirm... They ARE in play tonight????

[Barkeep49]

THEY ARE. Correct.

[Blade6119]

So just to confirm... They ARE in play tonight????

So we need to decide tonight, i wont be up by 7 AM my time(really 6:30) to be involved in morning decision)

[Blade6119]

A reminder to you all, careful with what you share. I told them chief is gone, since they will know that soon anyways. But who else got votes and how the inner workings of our team is going is something i think best we dont share for now. Agree?

[KWhit]

So we need to decide tonight, i wont be up by 7 AM my time(really 6:30) to be involved in morning decision)

Yeah. Same here. And I don't know if anybody else will be around between now and then.

I feel really shitty about taking an idol though. The more I think about it, the more I think that I should give it to someone else. Anxiety was very helpful today (nothing against you Swaggs). I say we give one to him. And you (Blade) can have the other one.

[Barkeep49]

Tree mail
Tomorrow you have to vote
And not a second late
For that will decide your fate
And which tribe will gloat
And for which it might be the last date

[Blade6119]

Yeah. Same here. And I don't know if anybody else will be around between now and then.

The nice thing is we can pass them freely during the game. The wolves know we won tonight, so they shouldnt attack us. We should all be safe tonight, and can pass them tomorrow as needed. So id say it doesnt matter too much who has it, as long as a wolf doesnt get it. Now whos a wolf, i dont know. If anxiety is one, you could screw us. I think it best if you and i take it, full heartedly.

[Blade6119]

I will be around from 12:45-1:30, 3:00-4:30 and 6:30-deadline tomorrow(all mountain time though, so add two hourse for east coast board standard)

Hmmm... You're right. I doubt anybody in our team will be targets tonight (except possibly by one of our own - scary thought)...

Okay... You talked me into it. I don't think Anxiety is a wolf, but I KNOW I'm not (yeah I know, standard answer, but still).

I agree. Sorry guys. I hope this isn't taken the wrong way, but I guess you're right, Blade.

You and me. You can have the sword.

[Blade6119]

Before i send in the PM...lets keep this up. Do you think the volunteers are the wolves?

[KWhit]

I don't know. I tend to think not. It just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me.

But BK's post about the volunteers definitely referenced Evil. So I'm torn.

[Blade6119]

Swaggs is back, so lets hear his thoughts on the idols and volunteers before we do anything. Chief volunteering to leave means he was prob. good. Thats means we have 4 left, and more then likely 1 evil. I know im not evil(ya, but i do), so that leaves the 3 of you with 1 evil. You 3 are my best chances to find evil right now. The idols, with wolfsbane that could kill WWs(sounds very possible to me) is a great tool for helping me in that

[Swaggs]

I'm here and caught up.

Good job to all for pulling the poems together. For awhile there, I thought everyone went MIA and we would end up with nothing, but all the poems were really good.

I had to work an open house tonight, so I was gone practically all evening. I should be around all day tomorrow, except from (roughly) 2:00-7:45 PM for work.

The one suggestion I have is that I think one of Blade and KWhit should privatetly decide who gets which idol and send in the info and not say anymore about it. I like that we have a little bit of fog of war to the idols, as I feel like it gives all of us a bit of protection.

Blade or KWhit are both fine by me--but not both. I just think one person should make the decision and keep it a secret, in case there is a conversion or a wolf among us. Thoughts?

Good thought. I like that idea. It should protect us even if we have a wolf inside our team (which is entirely possible).

If it's okay with you all, I'd like to PM the idol choices to BK>

[Blade6119]

You and i put forth discussion, and id like swaggs to be the final decider here. Seems quite fair to me

[KWhit]

He's gone, I think. Swaggs?

[Blade6119]

aw crap...there goes my plan...give it a bit then, he should be back in a second. He asked for thoughts, so hes not gone

[Blade6119]

hes still around, hes over in off-topic. Weve got time, no need to rush this

[Swaggs]

I'm here...

I'm willing to do it, if you guys would like.

[Swaggs]

Give me the say so, and I will make the call.

I'll have this window up and refresh in a few. My head is a bit in the clouds right now because I am following recruiting and LOI day. :)

[Blade6119]

I'm down with it. Make it happen.

[Swaggs]

Will do.

Also, whoever gets the idol(s) will likely be told. I'll leave it up to each person to decide, but I think we should keep that quiet, as well. I think this will protect us all.

Any thoughts on somehow letting the "public" thread know that we have kept them in-house? Some sort of information leak, perhaps? :)

[KWhit]

I think that we should not let anyone know specifically who has the idols. But an information leak to the general thread is a good idea. Feel free to do that if you like.

[Swaggs]

PM to Barkeep sent.

Do you guys think the language on the idols is deliberately vague? At first glance, I considered the shield idol to be the one with the wolfbane, but the language from Barkeep makes that less than certain.

[KWhit]

Yes, I think it's deliberately vague. So no one will know which is which (even the person who has it).

[KWhit]

And it's now my bedtime. Good night all. Chat with ya tomorrow.

[Swaggs]

We almost have to let Blade be the one to make the information leak. :)

Blade, if you say it, it will almost definitely be met with some skepticism, but it will have to be noted by the wolves.

[KWhit]

Just as long as one of you does it. I'm going to bed.

Just got back from my date (and sex!) and I'm glad we lost. Sorry to see Rum go, but we knew that'd happen. I totally agree with ya here, Blade. no sense giving away the farm.


As to the idols, hmm. Sure, I'd like to have an idol, I won;t be a lier. But I understand if we'd prefer to get them to Blade and KWhit or whatnot. I'm not the biggest poster in teh game, nor am I around as much as others are.

Whatever you decide, I support.

Heh, glad we won but sorry to see that Rum hadta leave because of the loss. I was hoping that our nominee and the other nominee would face off and we'd have a chance to save Rum.

[Swaggs]

Gotcha...

We have a real strong team, so hopefully we won't have to do it again until we hit the final four. As long as we don't have to compete in a challenge that rewards sheer numbers, I like our chances.

[Abe Sargent]

Agreed, I'm pretty happy too.

[Blade6119]

I dont think we should say a thing...not even in this thread. If you swaggs gives you one, then great. Dont share about it...for the time being, as much as we may want to, we cant trust our own teams. A leak here or in the general thread is not wise yet. Whoever gets them, just sit on the information for a bit.

I think it would help us keep the wolves away if they think we have the idols among our group. A psychological edge that will make the wolves think twice about nightkilling one of us. Nothing specific, but just planting a seed would be helpful, in my opinion.

They know we won the idols, and mentioning we have them is fine. But i wouldnt tell them who we gave them too, or even that if we kept them in team. Leave that mystery out there. Knowing we have them, even if we dont use them on ourselves, should be enough to keep us safe for the time being.

[Chief Rum]

Hey guys, congrats on the poetry victory (and to myself, too, I guess). I figured I would be voted out, which was the sensible thing to do, given my time constraints. Still a shame we had to lose someone. This is a very strong, intelligent team, I think, and if none of us our wolves, will be a driving force in the game.

Swaggs, I voted for you out of a random choice (two coin flips), and because I figured I couldn't vote for myself. So don't think anyone else here has it in for you (nor do I have it in for you).

Good luck, guys, and I hope you make it to the end. I will be reading.

[KWhit]

Test

[KWhit]

test

[KWhit]

Guys, read the challenge thread carefully. I just made a vote for the 9:53 round WHICH MEANS THAT NOBODY ELSE FROM OUR TEAM CAN VOTE IN THAT ROUND.

Let's not screw it up.

[KWhit]

For reference.

C’mon in Lupus and Howard. You’ll see that Chief Rum and Lonestargirl were voted off in tribal last night. Everyone else here? Oh good. Glad to see the wolves didn’t get you.

Today’s challenge is about voting. In Werewolf there is little that is harder to counter than the last second vote switch. Wolves can do this to manipulate the numbers. Villagers can do this to catch the wolves unsuspecting. We’re going to be simulating that excitement today. In a moment I’m going to reveal 9 times to you.

What you must do is be the first to post a vote at that time. Votes should be formatted in your team color and be bold (so, for instance, Oz’s should look like Vote Barkeep . If you’re the first to post on, or after, the designated time your tribe gets 3 points. Second 2, third 1, and fourth none. If your tribe posts before the time or more than one person posts for a tribe, it’s zero points. Also, if the person you vote for is a person who is doing the round for their team, and it is posted before that person’s vote, their vote will not count. Oh and I wouldn’t want to be the person who got the most votes at the end of the day. It’s not quite as bad as a normal vote, but it’s still not too pleasant. Every person on a tribe must do at least one round, but other than that there is no restriction about who can do a round.
Winning tribe gains immunity from a wolf attack, losing two tribes will go to tribal council.

The times are:

9:53
10:30
12:00
1:15
3:00
5:00
7:30
9:48
9:59 (votes must be in by 10:00)

Survivors ready? Go

[Abe Sargent]

I can grab the 10:30 time

[KWhit]

I'm taking this from the other trhead and answering it here...

What does this mean:

Also, if the person you vote for is a person who is doing the round for their team, and it is posted before that person’s vote, their vote will not count.


?


-Anxiety


Meaning that if I would have voted for Jonathan Ezarik, then his later vote for Ardent wouldn't count. And he'd be screwed.

[KWhit]

I can grab the 10:30 time

Cool. I'm gonna be in the thread too. So hopefully someone will try to vote for me (to keep my vote from counting) and miss you.

I was thinking of voting Schmidty so that we could vote someone off

BK said that the votes aren't as bad as a normal vote (so I don't think we'd vote anybody off). And I don't want it to seem like we're ganging up on anyone yet (or people might come after us). I'm already afraid of having a target on my back since I won the first round. I guarantee I get 1-2 votes this time (especially since I'm going to be in the thread at the time).

[KWhit]

okay, I've figured out that I need to hit submit two seconds after my computer clock hits the number for it to go through as that new minute. Excellent.

[KWhit]

Yes. You've got the 12:00, then. Some things to keep in mind:

You must post in bold and in your color.
Don't post early. Try to hit it exactly when the forum time goes to 12:00.
Vote for someone who is in the thread (since they may be the one to vote for their team and you can cancel out their vote that way).

What did you guys do, just type in your vote and get it formatted and then wait until the right time to post? (Should be that simple, right? :) )

This game may actually give us an advantage with our smaller numbers.

Everyone else has to get 5-6 people to participate and we only need 4.

Looks like we might have this one, unless he allows GE's.

[Swaggs]

Although it sure as hell looks like GE got the tags right.

[Blade6119]

GE was 59, tags or not...i got it

[Swaggs]

I'm not even sure I understand this challenge. I better go back and read the directions. I thought it was the first one to get the post in wins.

yes, in the time frame...that round time frame was 12:00(or 10:00 for me)...only votes in that time frame, and only one per team count. First gets 3 points, second 2, third 1. GE voted at 11:59(9:59 to me) and doesnt qualify...then path and marathoner both voted, and since their the same team it cancels out

[Swaggs]

So, should I just vote for someone that looks to be online at the time then?

[Swaggs]

Alright... I will be back shortly before posting time.

I'm not going to hang out on the board because I don't want people to vote for me and cancel me out.

Id get a post together her that has all the proper formatting(bolded, blue) and has VOTE in the middle...then go over about 30 seconds early(no more then that, dont want them to know your the one posting). Look to see whos in that thread at the time(4 of the 5 i saw ended up posting...of course the one i picked didnt) and add one name after VOTE. So get the post ready, but leave the name to the last 30 seconds to see whos in thread.
