WEREWOLF Tribe: Daily Actions Due

[Racer]

While it would be great to weaken someone for tomorrow's challenge, the only people on their tribe required to play in tomorrow's challenge are Hoops and EagleFan. Hoops is a definite no-no in my opinion and I remember EagleFan being pretty solid at werewolf as well.

[Racer]

Looking at their activity, I may vote for heybrad and take him out of the possible vote.

They don't get sent until after tribal council so we're actually so to come up with a 1st and 2nd preference.

[SnDvls]

I vote heybrad as my #1 and darth as my #2

[Danny]

I voted the same as SnDvls

[The Jackal]

So we're deciding this post-their tribal vote? Does that mean we'll have until 4:30 or something? Or are we voting now?

[Racer]

I think we're supposed to decide before they reach tribal council. Also, I received a message that I'm at 0 health which requires me to use all my points on recuperating.

[Racer]

Jackal, who do you think we should send?

Heybrad, Darth, or Chesapeake?

Right now my #1 would Chesapeake and my #2 would be Darth (although I'm okay with Heybrad).

[Racer]

Alright, I'll go ahead and flip to heybrad #1 and darth #2 so that way we have a consensus so something crazy doesn't happen like the person is chosen at random.

[Autumn]

Jackal, the consensus I'm getting is heybrad#1, darth #2. Is that what you'd like as well?

[Autumn]

I'm going to keep working for a bit, I'll check back in. If there's no update before i go to bed, I'll go with that choice.

[Autumn]

All right, I'm going to go ahead with Heybrad #1, Darth #2, as that seems to be the general consensus.

[Autumn]

Day four on FOFC Island. Are you ready for another challenge? Up for grab today is again the immunity idol. Winner will go back to camp, loser will go to Tribal Council.

Today's challenge is an obstacle course. You will need runners to cross a course set out over the water. The course includes stepping stones suspended by rope, rolling barrels, a balance beam, a floating bridge and a net ladder. At the opposite end of the course you will find flags in your tribe colors. You must retrieve the flag and return it back over the same course.

It won't be that easy, however. While you are attempting to cross the course, members of the other tribe will be attempting to knock you into the water. They will have these large sandbags on ropes, which they will attempt to swing and hit the runners with. Any runner knocked into the water, or who falls into the water while crossing, must swim back to the start.

Each team will pick two people to swing bags at the other team, and three runners. The runners will take turns attempting to retrieve flags, one at a time. The first team to retrieve five flags will win the challenge, and immunity.

The Villagers tribe will need to sit out one contestant. You may not sit out the same contestant twice in a row.

[SnDvls]

I think I should throw bags....I'm not the most athletic person here

[Greyroofoo]

i have good aim and average swimming, i should probably be on the bag

[Danny]

I have good aim and poor swimming, so I also would be better on the bag lol

[Racer]

I have average aim, average teamwork (could come into play for the bag throwers), good at swimming, and average at running so I'm probably better off being a runner.

Also, I'll be all the way back up to 7 in health by the time of the challenge.

[Racer]

Also, should we start discussing possible strategies today about how we might be able to flip votes from the other team if we merge at 5-5 or 6-4 since we may merge tomorrow?

[SnDvls]

The only swimming in this challenge is if you get knocked off. It says the runners will take turns. If runner 1 is knocked in the water that is their turn and runner 2 tries. It only becomes an issue if both people are in the water and runner 2 gets back before runner 1. I wouldn't factor in the swimming part as much as other skills IMO

[Greyroofoo]

how's your aim sndvls?

[The Jackal]

My aim is excellent, no question I should be on bag duty

[The Jackal]

Sorry I didn't come in last night to vote, was caught up in the game and the resulting sadness

[SnDvls]

how's your aim sndvls?

aim is average but calm is excellent

[Greyroofoo]

I'm going to submit myself as a runner

[The Jackal]

Safe to say i should submit as a thrower?

[Racer]

Safe to say i should submit as a thrower?

I think you probably should. What is your swimming and running abilities though?

[The Jackal]

Average

[Greyroofoo]

so is there any teamwork ideas for the runners? I think I may add to my pm that I want to focus on not getting hit, and thus having to swim back.

[Racer]

so is there any teamwork ideas for the runners? I think I may add to my pm that I want to focus on not getting hit, and thus having to swim back.

I don't think any of us are allowed to be on the course at the same time so I don't think teamwork will come into play. I'm guessing running and swimming would be the most important attributes but I could be wrong.

I see teamwork coming into play with the bags though.

[Racer]

So as of right now:

Throwers: Jackal, Danny
Runners: me, SnDvls, Greyroofoo

Definite in bold

What order should we run in?

[Racer]

Here is what I sent Autumn:

I will be the first runner. I won't try to rush through the course, but I won't go super slow either. I wish to give extra effort into this challenge.

[Autumn]

Your first night in camp not having to attend tribal council. Even better, a night knowing that the other tribe was having to send one of their own home. And sending another to Exile Island. Near perfection.

However, it's not enough to make you forget about the aches and pains from the challenge, or about how miserable it is to sleep in a windy, rainy, insect infested shelter. You all spend most of the day resting. Greyroofoo and SnDvls put a little more work into the shelter but it hardly makes a dent on what needs to be done. Jackal catches a nice batch of fish, but you mostly rely on your stores.

You still have enough food to eat, though you're down to less than a day's supply now. You have fire, but you have only a rudimentary shelter. That leaves you each losing 2 health points (after the challenge takes place).

[Greyroofoo]

I sent in my action as a runner.

[Racer]

Hopefully Danny and SnDvls don't both send the same challenge request.

[Racer]

Okay, so we're going to have to has out a merge strategy now. Who do you think EagleFan might have allied with?

[SnDvls]

I sent in bags very early...I thought my post was pretty clear what I was sending in.

[Racer]

Alright I'm out, but I should be back in plenty of time before the 10:30. Sent in actions just to in case though.

[Racer]

Dola, it really sucks that we have to go to tribal council tonight.

[Greyroofoo]

yup

[Autumn]

Come on in to tribal council. Light your torches and sit down.

Your tribe is here for the third time. After a an exhilarating win, today's defeat must be frustrating. What are the thoughts around camp?

[Racer]

It sucks that we lost, but we haven't given up hope. As long as we go into the merge united, we have a chance.

[Racer]

regardless of whether we merge at 10 or later.

[Autumn]

Four days on the beach isn't that long in the grand scheme of the game, but it's a long time to go without any real shelter. Are you guys frustrated that you're still getting rained on? Or is this a macho thing?

[Autumn]

Well, let's get to the vote. The votes have been cast. If anyone has an immunity idol, now would be the time to play it.

[Autumn]

All right then, I'll read the votes.

The first vote cast is for:

The Jackal

[Autumn]

The second vote cast is for:

The Jackal

[Autumn]

The third vote cast, and the fourth contestant voted out of Survivor: Islands of FOFC, is The Jackal.

Come put out your torch, Jackal. The tribe has spoken.

[Autumn]

It's day five of your stay on the Islands of FOFC. There are now ten of you left, out of the original 14. Today you will have yet another challenge. But tonight no one will be going home.

Instead you will be playing for a reward on day five. The winner of the challenge will receive supplies including tarps and ropes that will allow you to improve your shelter. You will also receive foodstuffs, a meal of cheeseburgers and fries, and vegetables and meat to add to your food stores.

The winners of the challenge will also choose someone from the other tribe to go to Exile Island. The person chosen will leave immediately after the challenge and not return until the next challenge.

For today's challenge you will need to order your team from strongest to weakest. Each member of the tribe will be paired against one member from the other tribe. They will have to climb a set of poles and stand balancing only on two pegs, using nothing else but their elbows or shoulders. Their goal will be to outlast the person they are paired against.

Every ten minutes those still standing will be told to lower themselves down to the next set of pegs, which will be smaller than the ones before. Each contestant who outlasts their opponent wins a point for their team. If the two tribes tie, the win will go to whoever was the winner of the last standing pair..

Villagers will need to sit out two contestants for this challenge. They may not sit out the same person twice in a row.

[SnDvls]

I'd put us in this order

Racer
Greyroofoo
Danny
SnDvls

[Racer]

Do we necessarily want to order like that though? Perhaps we should put some strategy into it so we can maximize our chances?

[Racer]

I also don't necessarily think physical strength come into play here. On the show, smaller girls actually tend to do better at this challenge.

I think stamina and maybe scrappyness (does that include ability to withstand pain?) might come into play here.

[Greyroofoo]

I'd go with a 4 1 2 3 order with 1 being the best suited

[SnDvls]

Do we necessarily want to order like that though? Perhaps we should put some strategy into it so we can maximize our chances?

good thought.

I was just going off the strongest to weekest in this type of challenge.

we need to think about how they will order things.

Also do we really want to win this challenge? We could totally throw it as it's a reward challenge. It gets one of us to exile island and gets a clue for the hidden idol. We slog this one and save our energy for the immunity challenge.
Yes we're losing health by having a piss poor shelter, but if we merge with them they'll have a good shelter by then....just thinking out loud.

Thoughts?

[Racer]

Yeah, I'm guessing we'll merge soon (Either at 10 or 9). At this point, getting one of use to exile island would be good.

Question for Autumn, can whoever that gets sent there share the clue with others on the tribe?

Agree on the shelter thing. When we merge, either everyone will have our piss poor shelter or whatever they have.

[Racer]

I'd go with a 4 1 2 3 order with 1 being the best suited

I think this is what they might actually do so I'd probably go 3 4 1 2

if we want to win it.

[SnDvls]

hell let's go 4 3 1 2 just to make it fun ;D

[Racer]

hell let's go 4 3 1 2 just to make it fun ;D

I'm fine with that. Now we just need to decide what attribute is related to will power. My guess would be scrappyness but I don't know for sure. I also think endurance is important in this challenge.

I'm average at both.

[SnDvls]

I'm good at scrappy and excellent at stamina so if that's the case I guess I might move up in the selection process.

[Autumn]

Question for Autumn, can whoever that gets sent there share the clue with others on the tribe?

If someone were to find a clue to an idol, they certainly could share that with others.

[Racer]

Just to re-quote what Autumn said about scrappyness early in the thread

I'll let you guys know, just because I think it may be too vague of a term, that Scrappy in the game refers to physical feistiness, ability to fight for something or fight someone off, for example.

Seems like this challenge could be fighting for something in a certain sense (or fighting off pain). Anyways, I can't imagine my excellent strength having anything to do with it.

[Racer]

Alright, I went ahead and submitted for slot 2 (3rd strongest on our team). SnDvls, I'm guessing your talents make you our #1 and I'm guessing either Danny or Greyroofoo is better suited for this challenge then me.

Also, I sent in conditional day 6 actions to Autumn:
If we win: 1. Look for idol 2. Look for Idol 3. Recuperate
If we lose: 1. Look for idol 2. Recuperate 3. Forage for Food

If I find the idol on day 5, obviously that free up some of my points.

[Racer]

Oh I forgot to say, I'm average at foraging for food.

[Racer]

So, maybe...

1. Danny?
2. Racer (average endurance, average scrappy, & good calm)
3. SnDvls (excellent endurance, good scrappy, & excellent calm)
4.Greyroofoo? (poor scrappy, ? endurance, & excellent calm

I've also listed calm in case anyone thinks it has an impact on this challenge.

Also, if we lose I think we should definitely send Heybrad to Exile Island again to hopefully keep the idol clues to just one person.

I'm putting normal effort into this challenge by the way.

[Racer]

Ahh screwed up the order. Since Greyroofoo is probably the worst at this challenge, it should probably be:

1. Greyroofoo
2. Racer
3. SnDvls
4. Danny

[SnDvls]

ok I'll submit for slot #3

[Autumn]

A reminder to submit your action, specifically your spot in the order, to me by 4:30.

[Greyroofoo]

i'll submit for slot 1

[Autumn]

A couple of you gather some food, Danny bringing in a nice stash that keeps you fed for the day. You have just about one day's worth of food in your stores.

Greyroofoo makes a slight attempt to fix up the shelter, but it's nowhere near being upgraded. It's still a rainy, windy, bug infested day and night. You have fire, and food, but your lack of real shelter costs each of you 2 health points.

[SnDvls]

Who's going to exile???

[Autumn]

Racer is sent to Exile Island immediately after the challenge. Racer, I will send you a PM, you should not post in this thread until Monday at 4:30.

[Autumn]

For today's challenge, immunity will once more be up for grabs.

You can see here an abandoned village here in the Islands of FOFC. Hidden somewhere in this village are colored planks with letters written on them. Your task is to find all of the planks of your color and return them to this board. You will go out one at a time, one from each tribe, and hunt. Once a tribe member returns one plank, another can go out. Once all 12 planks have been found, the tribe will need to arrange the planks on this board, also decorated with letters. The correct arrangement will cover some letters, display others, and spell out a message. The first tribe to correctly arrange their planks and discover the message will win immunity. The losers will be going to Tribal Council.

Villagers will have to sit out two contestants. They can't sit out the same two challenges in a row. The tribes will need to determine what order their members will search for the planks in. Your actions in the challenge will need to be submitted to me by 4:30 EST on MONDAY.

[Danny]

Think this is a must win and i plan on putting extra energy in

[SnDvls]

So who's running out 1st?

[SnDvls]

dola -and who's in charge of the puzzle? Greyroofoo you interested?

[Danny]

Order doesn't matter much as we have to get 12 planks and there are four of us, so each of us will have to get 3 planks. I also am excellent at puzzles, so perhaps do a duel leadership thing where we work together to figure it out while you and racer lug around planks?

How many times must a person run out and get a plank?
Is everyone only required to get 1 each and thus we could have this situation

Racer & I get 5 planks each
Greyroofoo & Danny get 1 plank each

Thanks

[Autumn]

No, everybody has to take turns. You can set an order but everybody will have to take a turn.

[SnDvls]

No, everybody has to take turns. You can set an order but everybody will have to take a turn.

So everyone has to take 3 turns then? Not just take a turn

[Autumn]

So everyone has to take 3 turns then? Not just take a turn

Yes, that's right.

[SnDvls]

OK I submitted as #1 I guess

will follow Grey & Danny on the puzzle

[Racer]

Whew! I can post again.

[Racer]

This would have been a bad idea as I enter the challenge with a one in health. Sorry guys, but I think I'll be a liability in this challenge.

[Autumn]

Quick and dirty camp results.

Nobody goes out to gather food. You eat up your stores but still don't really have enough food for the day. You're all quite hungry.

In addition no work is done on the shelter. It continues to be rudimentary, but not enough to really keep you healthy.

You each lose 4 health points.

Racer, that does not mean you - this is from while you were on the Island.

[Autumn]

Welcome to tribal council, come on in and sit down.

There are four of you left, tonight one of you will go home. Since you've cast your votes I'll just ask if anybody has an immunity idol that they wish to use, now is the time.

[Autumn]

All right then I'll read the votes.

First vote cast is Greyroofoo.

[Autumn]

Second vote cast is for ...

Greyroofoo

[Autumn]

The third vote cast, and the fifth person voted out of Survivor, Islands of FOFC is Greyroofoo.

Greyroofoo, put out your torch. The tribe has spoken.

[Autumn]

Please make room, guys. That boat you see crossing the bay is the Villager Tribe. They will be coming to join your camp, and you will merge to form one tribe.

When you see a new common tribe thread start you may post there. Please continue to not read the Villagers tribe thread until the game is over.

[Thomkal]

our thread is lagging behind the villagers thread so I'm gonna just post this to up our post count and really freak them out.

I suggest others do this too by just posting a quick...."Post Count" hit whenever you visit....let's play some mind games with them early on :)

reading your thread now and thought this was funny because I did check your guys post counts from time to time to see how active you were compared to us.

[Danny]

reading your thread now and thought this was funny because I did check your guys post counts from time to time to see how active you were compared to us.

I figured checking post counts was against the spirit of having separate threads.

[Thomkal]

It is your first day on the island and you are stranded there among the cameramen with only a machete, a pot and some canteens. You get busy before sunset to find some way to survive on this island.

People scatter about, exploring the island, looking for what they can do to help. You count yourselves lucky to find great sources of food, filling up the camp stores with bananas, coconuts and berries. In particular, The Jackal and J23 fill up the larder. Jackal manages to actually catch some small game with some traps he readies, providing a big heap of promising meat to be dried, and hopefully cooked, eventually J23 manages to spear a number of fish and find some crabs, himself and the tribe enjoys a much more satisfying meal tonight than any of you expected. Indeed, you still have enough food for tomorrow.

Some work on putting together a shelter for the night. The work doesn't go particularly well though, no one having a clear idea exactly what to do, and most heading off to gather food before anything that useful has been finished. When the rain comes you find yourself huddled under a haphazard roof of leaves that leaks and blows away in the wind. There is some structure there, but it does next to nothing so far to shelter you. You do not look forward to your first night here.

Between your efforts in the challenge and working today, your nutritious meal, and then a long miserable night exposed to the elements, you will each lose 6 health points. SnDvls in particular looks rough, having pulled some muscle during the challenge and just looking exhausted. It has struck you how miserable surviving on this island could be.

wow 6 points loss for the first day-that set you back right from the start.

[Thomkal]

I figured checking post counts was against the spirit of having separate threads.

how? It wasn't like I could tell anything from it, I was just curious to see who was posting more. You guys had less people than us after a while so you would have been posting less anyway.

[Thomkal]

Boy your camp struggles really hurt your tribe-you're not gonna like reading about our shelter lol. :)

[Maple Leafs]

Boy your camp struggles really hurt your tribe-you're not gonna like reading about our shelter
I still can't believe EagleFan got the air conditioner working so quickly.

[Thomkal]

heh

[Danny]

how? It wasn't like I could tell anything from it, I was just curious to see who was posting more. You guys had less people than us after a while so you would have been posting less anyway.

Not sure if you mean just simply total post count for the whole thread, but I am referring to checking individuals posts counts.

[Thomkal]

Oh no, I was only checking total post count
