Survivor: Oz Tribal Thread

[Poli]

Eh, maybe. Who knows, you guys have it. I'm heading to work soon.

[ImTheCrew]

alright next one at 3pm right?

[st.cronin]

I actually might be around for that one. I'll check in at lunch, and if nobody wants that vote I'll take it.

[Poli]

Have at it, boss.

[GoldenEagle]

Someone needs to vote, I fucked up again. The board software must be inconsistent, I tested it again and again. It really pisses me off.

[Raiders Army]

sorry, have work issues and can't stay during lunch.

[Poli]

Did we miss another? I definitely can't post during work. This party will not work here.

[st.cronin]

I might be able to get the next one. I'm at the library, and sometimes the post takes a long time to get through the tubes.

[Poli]

Nice use of tubes there, going to dental.

[st.cronin]

Incidentally, I couldn't find anything in the other thread about what time zone the voting times were based on. I thought that "the next vote" was in like 5 minutes, but actually it was about an hour an half ago.

[GoldenEagle]

My apologies guys.

[st.cronin]

My apologies guys.

Apologies are definitely not neccesary. I don't think I'm going to be able to contribute anything to this challenge. I'll do my best.

[st.cronin]

GE will you be able to do the next vote, or do I need to give it a go?

[st.cronin]

time check

[ImTheCrew]

i cant get 3, ill take 5 o clock

[GoldenEagle]

GE will you be able to do the next vote, or do I need to give it a go?

It is in eight minutes, I can do it if needed.

[GoldenEagle]

Dola, I should have the time thing down, let me know.

[st.cronin]

I will do it if you would prefer to take the next one. Do you have a vote that counts yet? If not, you should go ahead and take this because I'll be able to take any of the last 3.

[st.cronin]

[st.cronin]

GE I'm going to vote

[st.cronin]

ok I'm out until about 5:30 et

[GoldenEagle]

Well, looks like we are going to Tribal Council tonight.

[Poli]

Did we screw up another, and why is Tyrith here?

[Poli]

Still...why is tyrith here?

[Poli]

I'll keep asking while I watch him here.

[Poli]

Bump

[Poli]

Hmm

[Poli]

Not scared, eh? Hope you're getting good info.

[Poli]

It's cool. He finally left. Grr.

[Poli]

I hope whatever he said over in his own thread was worth it. I let barkeep know about it.

[GoldenEagle]

How long was he on for? I am not real happy about this.

[Poli]

About 10 minutes by my count. I clicked on his name to see his last action, since it was obviously to our thread...and it had started at 3:04, he then went immediately to his thread.Originally, I thought he might have just clicked by accident and left, but he went straight to his thread.

[GoldenEagle]

I saw him as well, but did not think of it. It must have been the tail end because when I looked again, he was gone.

[Poli]

FYI, I may quit as well. He totally pissed me off with that counterattack.

[ImTheCrew]

ill get the 5 pm

Don't worry about it. Tempers got out of hand and it just happened.

[ImTheCrew]

ok

[ImTheCrew]

sorry guys

[GoldenEagle]

I am going to be out tonight and I do not know if I will be back before the lynch that we have to do tonight. I hate to vote someone off but it has to be done and I need to go ahead and declare which way I am going.

I think it is a toss-up between RA and ImTheCrew. Something about RA vibed wrong for me and I am willing to give the new player the benefit of the doubt. At this time, my vote is for RA.

VOTE RAIDERS ARMY

[st.cronin]

I thought we didn't have to vote somebody off tonight?

[GoldenEagle]

I believe we do since we will be in the bottom 2.

Also, there is a change of plans. I should be around tonight after all.

[Schmidty]

Ok, I'm finally here guys.

After I check in yesterday and went to pick up my daughter and eat, I got home and found the internet down. It was down all day and evening before I had to go to work, and didn't come up until after I woke up a couple of hours ago.

I'm kind of getting annoyed with the early deadlines and such, because I work 3rd shift in the circulation department of the local paper. I go to work, come home, drop into bed because I'm so tired, and then wake up around noonish PST, only to find that a deadline is either done (like today), or close to being done.

I'm thinking that unless BK can extend the deadlines, I'm going to have to drop. In the Apocalypse game, the deadlines weren't until 7 pm my time, so it worked out great, but this is rough.

[st.cronin]

It seems like the deadlines change each day. It's been tough for everybody to figure out, Schmidty.

[GoldenEagle]

Hi guys. I am trying to get my post count up in case it matters, you know, with people viewing that stuff and all.

[st.cronin]

I see Barkeep viewing the thread. Hi, Barkeep!

[Schmidty]

It seems like the deadlines change each day. It's been tough for everybody to figure out, Schmidty.

I get that, but at least the dealines are when you guys are awake. Just sayin'.

[st.cronin]

I get that, but at least the dealines are when you guys are awake. Just sayin'.

I believe Barkeep has read this, hopefully he can adjust so you can stay in the game.

[Barkeep49]

I see Barkeep viewing the thread. Hi, Barkeep!
Funny cause I was in four threads at once :)

I apologize for the deadline changes. I will be more consistent about that going forward.

[st.cronin]

Schmidty, if you can get a vote onto the other board at EXACTLY 30 minutes past the hour (about 10 mins) that's the goal. Vote must be bold. I would recommend voting for Swaggs.

If I don't see you in the thread I'll do the vote. There are two more votes tonight, I forget the exact times.

[st.cronin]

test

[Raiders Army]

I'm back. Somebody tell me what to do. I'm smoked from work.

[st.cronin]

no idea

[Raiders Army]

Okay...I'm gonna relax for a bit. I may pop back on FOFC, but I just read the drama that occurred earlier. I always miss the good stuff!

[ImTheCrew]

looks like were going to tribal council ;-(

[ImTheCrew]

whos going at 9 48???

[ImTheCrew]

AE if your there go

[st.cronin]

yeah ae's got to go

[Poli]

Sigh. What time?

[ImTheCrew]

so whos going at 9 48?

[ImTheCrew]

we need a first place here, and i cant do it :-(

[Poli]

I will.

[st.cronin]

9:48 and 9:59 are the times

I don't know if we even need to vote at 9:59, but I think ardent needs to get a vote in.

[Poli]

Do not be alarmed if you don't hear from me much, though.

[Poli]

9:48 EST, Got it. Fellas, don't think for a second anything we post in here is safe from being viewed. That's all I'm going to say.

[st.cronin]

I am always alarmed when I don't hear from ardent.

[Poli]

Swaggs, right?

[Raiders Army]

Sorry fellas I wasn't more help with the challenge. My mind is fried right now and I'm not even sure I know what went on earlier today. Tyrith was in our thread?

[Poli]

Sorry, guys, guess my clock wasn't as spot on as I thought.

[Raiders Army]

Crap. I need to vote. I'll do the one at 9:59. Who should I vote for?

[st.cronin]

Crap. I need to vote. I'll do the one at 9:59. Who should I vote for?

I don't think it matters. Also, are you sure you need to vote? BK said earlier that the only person who hadn't voted was AE.

[Raiders Army]

I know I haven't voted today.

[ImTheCrew]

AE had RA hasnt

[Raiders Army]

1 guest a few minutes ago.

http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/5905/fofczz4.jpg

[Poli]

RA, it's been longer than a few minutes. I'm tired of all the cheating.

[st.cronin]

I knew this was going to happen. People thought I was silly for asking BK to create private threads or forums.

[ImTheCrew]

1 guest now

[Raiders Army]

Yep.

[Poli]

There is no need for a tribal council. I volunteer myself to leave the tribe. I do this because I find the game unbearable and players cannot help but cheat.

I fully intend to be seen prominently in every tribes thread tonight.

[Raiders Army]

Unless it's barkeep or GE, it's someone cheating.

[Raiders Army]

Uh....or Schmidty.

[Raiders Army]

Hey ITC....just for the record, these games aren't normally this bad with cheating and stuff. :)

[Poli]

For the record:

NO ONE WILL VOTE...or I will hunt you down.

[ImTheCrew]

ae dont

[Barkeep49]

SD went away just as I asked if he could trace the ip. I just pinged the forum mods to see if they can help tell who the guest is.

[LoneStarGirl]

Guys, I dont want you to get pissy. I was viewing your thread. I have no intention of joining this game if BK asks me to, so I was checking in because I am bored. Dont get mad and think people are cheating. :P

[Poli]

Guys, I will. I will not put up with Tyrith anymore.

DO NOT VOTE. I say again. DO NOT VOTE AT ALL.

[LoneStarGirl]

Oh, and I talked to DC earlier and she said she has been checking as guest too

[Poli]

Thanks for letting me/us know, LSG. I appreciate it.

[st.cronin]

Well geez why would you view as a GUEST???? That just makes no sense.

[Raiders Army]

Well geez why would you view as a GUEST???? That just makes no sense.

Tru dat.

[Poli]

If you vote, I will kill a kitten. Think of the kittens.

[Raiders Army]

Aw, c'mon man. The defending champ can't quit.

[st.cronin]

I hope ardent stays, too.

[Poli]

RA, I can't play in a game where Tyrith continues to go unchecked. Don't vote, don't let this be easy.

Force barkeep to accept my volunteering to be removed.

[Poli]

Guys, I would, but I can no longer accept that this game has any integrity.

[Barkeep49]

RA, I can't play in a game where Tyrith continues to go unchecked. Don't vote, don't let this be easy.

Force barkeep to accept my volunteering to be removed.
Ardent, if you feel that way in the morning I will not so gladly remove you from the game.

[st.cronin]

Guys, I would, but I can no longer accept that this game has any integrity.

I can understand that, but it's not like we're playing for money. Think of your teammates - a losing effort in support of them reflects integrity on your part.

[LoneStarGirl]

GE and I sometimes use the same computer, so when he gets off mine, I just log off and go to where I am going...I dont think about logging back in. And honestly I was so pissed about being voted off yesterday that I didn't want to log back on for the rest of the game. But since y'all got your panties in a wad I will not log off again. And Ge said he made a peom, so you know I HAD to come see it to believe it :p

[Raiders Army]

I can understand that once you believe the game is dirty you don't want to come back. But let's face the facts:

Tyrith viewed the post listing and apologized for it.
Our guests were revealed to be non-players (although why they wouldn't view it as their screennames is beyond me).

Isn't that enough to forgive and forget? Honestly, if I were in your shoes I'm not sure that I would be willing to, so I support your decision either way. It's just bad that you're going out this way.

[ImTheCrew]

AE, id like for you to stay man :-)

[Poli]

I'll think it over, that's all I can say. I'm tired of tyrith.

[st.cronin]

I agree it was shitty of him to toss accusations back even tonight, and his behavior earlier was rotten. He's definitely going to be my day 1 vote from here on out.

[Barkeep49]

Tyrith is going to be replaced by SnDvls

[Poli]

Thank you. I will continue to play then.

[st.cronin]

/plays the trumpet

[Poli]

That said, did Schmidty say he may need to excuse himself?

My first choice? Golden Eagle, no offense, buddy,...seriously. You goofed a few times today. You're a class guy and I hate to even bring up your name.

Schmidty's unavailability concerns me, though.

As for the rest of you, I've seen and watched you all compete like crazy. You are my brothers.

[st.cronin]

Schmidty says that every game at some point. If he needs to leave, so be it. I'd rather remove somebody who is possibly a wolf.

[ImTheCrew]

Schmidty's unavailability concerns me, though.

same(no offense)

[ImTheCrew]

Schmidty says that every game at some point. If he needs to leave, so be it. I'd rather remove somebody who is possibly a wolf.
any ideas, cronin?

[st.cronin]

any ideas, cronin?

I would like ardent to unpack his thinking on GE. If there's something there, I'm willing to go with it.

I don't have any ideas of my own.

[Poli]

As would I, cronin.

[Poli]

It was more of a constant thought process through the game thus far on who I liked didn't.

Who hasn't contributed?

I feel myself, Cronin, and RA have quite a bit. I think ITC has tried to contribute.

GE dropped the ball earlier today, IIRC, but did contribute a poem.

Schmidty, love you bro, but I don't think has at all.

[ImTheCrew]

well of course id like to get rid of a wolf, but i think its to early to tell and schmidty is rarely on and it could hurt us in tasks like todays.

[st.cronin]

I guess I'm ok going with Schmidty. I'd like to hear from him first.

I don't have any idea how to do this, but we need to:

1. avoid the seer
2. preferably hit a wolf

[ImTheCrew]

how do we vote?

[Poli]

I doubt schmidty would give himself up if he were the seer or a wolf.

[Barkeep49]

how do we vote?
Good question. Answer will be up shortly.

[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.

[st.cronin]

ai, yai yai, yai yai

[Poli]

And thus, the explanation of why hoops is posting.

Nice. I bet I get a lot of questions.

[ImTheCrew]

when will he quiz us?

[st.cronin]

dunno ... we've got til 10pm tomorrow though, I think.

[hoopsguy]

Wow, what an eventful day! Clearly there was a lot of controversy over the back half of the day. Did you feel like that was a distraction that kept you from being able to compete in the challenges to the best of your abilities?

[Poli]

Not for me. I was largely unavailable as it was.

[st.cronin]

Wow, what an eventful day! Clearly there was a lot of controversy over the back half of the day. Did you feel like that was a distraction that kept you from being able to compete in the challenges to the best of your abilities?

no, not even a little bit

[Poli]

Part of our failure was an inability to seize the initiative on a few of the times, we seemed to post a bit early. In one instance, I posted a bit too late.

[hoopsguy]

Crew, this is your first game of werewolf (why do they call it that anyway? This is Survivor!) - did you know what you were getting yourself into? Has it been what you expected?

[st.cronin]

Part of our failure was an inability to seize the initiative on a few of the times, we seemed to post a bit early. In one instance, I posted a bit too late.

I blame global warming.

[Poli]

I blame Penn State.

[Poli]

And the 33 year old woman crying in my office today.

Come on, you're 33. Quit crying.

[st.cronin]

And the 33 year old woman crying in my office today.

Come on, you're 33. Quit crying.

Was she hot?

[Poli]

Not in the least. And I may have offended her.

[hoopsguy]

On the topic of "Guest", I know that there is considerable consternation about potential spies from the other tribes invading your territory and violating the sanctity of your tribal thread. As your host, I can tell you that we do take security very seriously when we ship you off to a remote local. If we are going to stage competitions that push you to your physical limit - like posting in threads and writing poems - then we at least owe you that much. However, even in the most obscure areas on the planet there is a chance that a native to the land (ie - lurker, no FOFC account) might be curious about the camera crews and the competitions.

We strive to create a compelling environment for our viewers, and will continue to do so. I know that the networks (Barkeep) demand this and that any illicit activity on the part of the other tribes will be met with harsh punishment.

[Poli]

There's a question mixed in all that pink, I know it.

[st.cronin]

Not in the least. And I may have offended her.

What, did you accuse her of trying to view this thread? :confused:

[st.cronin]

There's a question mixed in all that pink, I know it.

Do you know, I said the same thing the first time I saw a woman naked.

[hoopsguy]

No question just that one time :)

On the topic of wolves, why does everyone have the impression that they exist on this island? This rumor seems to have spread like wildfire, but the only people who are not here are the people who were voted off in tribal councils. The last night passed, and we didn't have any mutilated bodies, no one was howling at the moon.

If there was some kind of plot twist out there like a werewolf, why didn't it strike when it should have had the chance?

[Poli]

What, did you accuse her of trying to view this thread? :confused:
There's a chance I may have. Actually she's upset because I wouldn't let her take her physical fitness assessment...so her liberty isn't what it was.

After today's event, I wasn't feeling, well kind at all.

I think she may go tell my boss.:rolleyes:

[Poli]

Do you know, I said the same thing the first time I saw a woman naked.
You've seen a woman naked?

This friendly banter, makes me feel better already. Sure am glad I'm teamed up with my bro Cronin.

[Poli]

No question just that one time :)

I'd guess so hoops. I think there may be other issues at hand as well. I think they may only have certain chances to go after someone, things like that.

[st.cronin]

Well, I'm maybe 85% sure that there are wolves. It would be curious if there was a game of werewolf that didn't have wolves, particularly when we have been told that there is a seer and a bodyguard - if there are no wolves, what do those roles do? I suppose that maybe the wolves don't know that they are wolves just yet.

[GoldenEagle]

I am caught up after watching the US vs. Mexico game. I guess I got confused about what a tribal council is. This has been a unique game.

Raiders Army and his detailing earlier of ImTheCrew did bother me a bit. We all know that someone volunteered. I will go ahead and say that I volunteered but did not get chosen.

I think ardent said the same thing.

[hoopsguy]

Earlier in the game you benefitted from having an extra member on your team - during the scavenger hunt. Today, that may have hurt you as you had more resources to manage in the competition. By the end of tomorrow you will have to vote off one of your own.

Do you think that there is any advantage to be gained from reducing the size of your team? Perhaps in terms of cohesion, adaptability to different challenges, etc?

[st.cronin]

I'll be honest, I don't know. I don't know what the point of this game is. Are we competing for individual glory? Are we going to have to sell out our teammates at some point? My understanding of Survivor is that it's an individual competition, so I don't get how the teams fit into that.

I'm more interested in the werewolf aspect of the game, anyway - that's why I'm interested in a) protecting our seer, and b) getting a wolf out of here.

[GoldenEagle]

hoops, It just depends on the challenge. I think we won day 1 because of our football knowledge. I mean, that game was made for us. We are all original. FOFCers and we all know about that.

Day 2 was more of an academic topic. Obviously, that counteracted with our football knowledge. We know football, not poems.

Day 3 there was just many screw ups, mainly by me.

[Poli]

An advantage? Maybe by cutting the dead wood.

[GoldenEagle]

Also, everyone knows the wolves are going to come after our team hard. It is no secret the seer is among us. In fact, I wish barkeep would have kept that quite because now the wolves have a 20% chance of hitting the seer.

[Poli]

You'd almost think other tribes would hand us immunity based on that.

[hoopsguy]

How would this so-called "seer" capability impact your voting decisions? If there is someone with these gifts in your number, then it seems like the decision to vote him off could have dire reprecussions in the event that there actually is a wolf-man running around on the island disguised as a competitor/human.

[st.cronin]

You'd almost think other tribes would hand us immunity based on that.

I have long since given up on the idea of werewolf players behaving rationally.

For example, today - during any given voting cycle, had Swaggs been the guy to post first, no votes for him would have counted. So early in the day lupus should have handed off the vote to him.

[Poli]

Obviously we wouldn't want to vote the seer out, and doing so would really screw up our chances.

[st.cronin]

Well I know I'm not the seer. I suppose I could just ask the guys to vote me out, figuring that way the seer makes it. I probably won't do that, though.

[hoopsguy]

Any guesses as to what might happen to Swaggs as a result of getting the most votes? Will the fact that he "lost" the individual aspect of today's challenge impact your attitudes towards him going forward?

[Poli]

I'd be fairly confident that Schmidty is neither, or he would likely be more adamant to stick around. Then again, that's good cover for a wolf, isn't it?

[Poli]

No, hoops, it won't. I hate that someone had to "lose" today. Kind of a bummer.

[st.cronin]

My best guess is that he's going to be removed from his team - that he'll be his own team, or something.

I honestly don't see how you can get any information about anything from that vote.

[GoldenEagle]

I'd be fairly confident that Schmidty is neither, or he would likely be more adamant to stick around. Then again, that's good cover for a wolf, isn't it?

My thought is that Schmidty could be the seer and is keeping a very low profile. But I do not want to help the wolves out anymore than I can.

[hoopsguy]

When it comes time to cast a vote, will you be making your choice based upon actions since arriving on this island, or based upon the reputation of that person? Are you set on your vote at this point, or can it still be influenced by actions between now and the deadline?

[st.cronin]

My vote will probably mostly be based on what people say between now and tomorrow night.

[st.cronin]

I'm out for the night, fellas. Will be back tomorrow afternoon.

[Schmidty]

Wow. Lots of crap going down.

I had a big, long thing typed, but thought better of it. Let's just say, that I'm disappointed in certain people's behaviour today.

[Poli]

If it's me, sorry Hulk.

[Poli]

If you do have something to add, please share.

[ImTheCrew]

Crew, this is your first game of werewolf (why do they call it that anyway? This is Survivor!) - did you know what you were getting yourself into? Has it been what you expected?
this is my first, and its been a blast!, and its a bit harder than i thought it would be.Hopefully there will be no more cheating though:mad:

[Raiders Army]

Ummmmm...I guess I missed the initial part of tribal council. Sorry. Lost comes on late for us and I watched it. Anyhow, I was unavailable most of yesterday due to a VTC that lasted all day and fighting against backstabbing both within my directorate and outside of it.

Anyhow, so there is no misunderstanding...I wanted AE to stay because he's a good guy. That had nothing to do with metagaming. As it is, within the game, it would've been to my advantage to get him to leave since I believe that the wolf (if there is one and I'm pretty sure there is) is either ITC or myself since we were the only tribemembers on right after the first call for a volunteer came out. If AE leaves, then that means I am safe from scrutiny for another day and that gives me more time to examine ITC. So with all that being said, I was not trying to get AE to stay to pull something over in the game. Also, AE has been a big contributor in the challenges.

[Poli]

At this point, I feel like I'll be voting for Schmidty. He had an opportunity to respond last night, late last night, and didn't.

[Poli]

When you are the bodyguard or a wolf there is a question of psychology. Who do you guard that night? Who should you attack? The most obvious person? But if they're so obvious does that really make them not obvious? And on and on this game of psychology can go.

Well today you all will be asking yourselves something similar. Each tribe is being allocated $29. Your goal as a tribe is to get the most points. There are 15 "places" you can bid on with different points. Those places are
A. Greater Werewolvia - 33
B. Middle Werewolvia - 14
C. Lesser Werewolvia - 20
D. Fleabit Cove - 11
E. Dogbonia - 10
F. Dog Ear - 12
G. Homidia - 15
H. Lupinia - 16
I. Garouvia - 25
J. North Canis - 17
K. Lake Wolfsbane - 18
L. South Canis - 29
M. Lower Fang - 23
N. Upper Fang -21
O. Alpovia - 13

Each tribe may spend some of their money bidding on a place. The highest bid wins. Tribes should submit to me their list of bids for each of the places by 10 PM today. The tribe with the most points will win the challenge, while the tribe with the fewest will head to tribal council.

Since information is life in this game the winning tribe will gain some new information. Each player on the winning tribe will get to ask, via PM, one of the following questions:
How many wolves are on tribe X?
How many wolves are in the game?
Does player X have an idol?
What was the vote total of tribe council for Tribe X? (For Lupus must chose one of their two tribal councils)
What will be the reward at tomorrow's challenge?

Survivors ready? GO!


Bolded so we can read it better.

[Poli]

Wow. I have no idea what to think of with this.

[Raiders Army]

Some thoughts before I leave for the day. Today is lunch out with the wife so I won't be in at lunch time.

I think we need to bid about $10-15 on a larger place...like I or L. The rest should be divyed up for smaller, but not the least places.

[Raiders Army]

If it were up to me, I'd go:

$14 on South Canis (29)
$6 on Upper Fang (21)
$3 on Lesser Werewolvia (20)
$3 on Dogbonia (10)
$3 on Alpovia (13)

I have to leave earlier for a lunch with the CO and CMC. Can you fathom what I'll talk about?

"Hi, I have 95 days left in the Navy. How are you?"

Hopefully, it means I'm home earlier, but who knows.

Your guess is as good as mine, RA.

[Raiders Army]

I think you'll probably talk about re-upping. :)

Anyhow, last thought before I leave:

There are 277 points available. With four tribes, that averages out to 69.25 points per tribe. We need to get above that. For those 69.25 points, we need to earn at least 2.3879 points per dollar. I'm out until about 7 EST.

[Poli]

I'm sure that conversation wouldn't go well, since I've been basically screwed around with since I've been back.

We won't do anything crazy while you're gone, RA.

[GoldenEagle]

This a challenge that we could really, really afford to win.

[ImTheCrew]

hmmmmm interesting,,,,

[ImTheCrew]

.....................

[ImTheCrew]

so all we can do is bid once, its not like an open bid where tribes can go higher and higher?

[Poli]

correct.

[ImTheCrew]

ok, cool.....

[ImTheCrew]

A. Greater Werewolvia - 33
B. Middle Werewolvia - 14-2$
C. Lesser Werewolvia - 20
D. Fleabit Cove - 11
E. Dogbonia - 10
F. Dog Ear - 12-1$
G. Homidia - 15-3$
H. Lupinia - 16-
I. Garouvia - 25
J. North Canis - 17-3$
K. Lake Wolfsbane - 18-5$
L. South Canis - 29
M. Lower Fang - 23-9$
N. Upper Fang -21-6$
O. Alpovia - 13

[Poli]

Why this distribution?

Should we consider dropping a token dollar on some of the smaller areas? There are only 3 other teams, and if can get dog ear, or half of dog ear for a buck, that might not be bad.

[ImTheCrew]

i was just playing around with it, but i think we could steal some of the mid-smaller ones that will be over looked by other tribes

That's what she said.

[GoldenEagle]

Checking in during my lunch break. Looks like nothing new in this thread.

[st.cronin]

ITC, I'm curious to hear the strategy behind that distribution as well.

[st.cronin]

A. Greater Werewolvia - 33
B. Middle Werewolvia - 14
C. Lesser Werewolvia - 20
D. Fleabit Cove - 11
E. Dogbonia - 10
F. Dog Ear - 12
G. Homidia - 15
H. Lupinia - 16
I. Garouvia - 25 14
J. North Canis - 17
K. Lake Wolfsbane - 18
L. South Canis - 29 15
M. Lower Fang - 23
N. Upper Fang -21
O. Alpovia - 13

I like this a little bit better as a strategy.

[ImTheCrew]

no really reason, just put middle price on the middle-small price places

[st.cronin]

Actually how about this:

10 each on Garouvia (worth 25) and South Canis (worth 29), and 9 on Greater Werewolvia (worth 33).

[st.cronin]

Tere's 277 total points.

[GoldenEagle]

We are falling behind in the post count topic.

[st.cronin]

15 total items

and 4 tribes

[st.cronin]

Any tribe that nabs the top three will win, I think. So I think we need to go after those. 10-10-9 spread over the top three prizes.

[st.cronin]

ae has as many posts in this thread as any other two people put together. Well, not anymore he doesn't.

[GoldenEagle]

I do not think that will get the job done.

[st.cronin]

I do not think that will get the job done.

Well, what do you suggest? I think almost any play requires some luck.

[st.cronin]

We could ask Dodgerchick to spy on the other three threads, and report her findings back here. That would give us a head start.


just joking, BK

Grr, cronin. :)

I like your thought process on the distro, by the way.

I thought hoops would provide more questions during the day, kind of disappointing. I actually forgot i had to vote for anyone for a while there.

[st.cronin]

Thinking about it some more, I think 13 and 12 on the top two ... and then maybe place some 1 dollar bets on some of the lower ones, hoping no tribe bids on them.

There's a lot of ways to do this, but I think we have to take a shot to win.

[Poli]

Who will send this in? I can if no one objects.

[Poli]

And I like the dollar thing. Hey, no run time errors this time!

[Poli]

Hey, it might be fixed!

[Poli]

Well, that was short lived.

[ImTheCrew]

fine by me

[st.cronin]

I'll send it to BK.

By the way, who is everybody voting for? I voted for Raiders.

[ImTheCrew]

how do we vote?

[st.cronin]

Voting is done by PM, ITC - pm Barkeep, make sure to put Oz Tribal Council in the subject.

I just sent the following pm to BK:

Oz places the following bids:

$13 on Greater Werewolvia (A) 33
$12 on South Canis (L) 29
$2 on Fleabit Cove (D) 10
$2 on Dogbonia (E) 11

[GoldenEagle]

You submit a PM to Barkeep, I believe. Maybe we can come to some sort of gentleman's agreement to publicly state who we are voting for?

Shouldn't we talk about that a little more?

[ImTheCrew]

cronin, what was your reason for voting for RA?

[st.cronin]

Shouldn't we talk about that a little more?

We have until 10pm. Like I said, if you've got a better idea, bring it on. ITC put out an idea, but didn't seem too attached to it.

I voted for RA because I think he's possibly a wolf. I think if there's a wolf on our team it's either him, GE, or ITC.

[Poli]

Do you think barkeep will allow us to change bids? I wouldn't think so.
