Your team buff is
red.

Raiders Army 02-04-2007 10:26 AM

Hey all. I'm in the tribe!

Poli 02-04-2007 10:42 AM

Me and RA? This could be ugly. :)

RA, did you see how many other teams there are? Wow.

Raiders Army 02-04-2007 11:52 AM

I think we have a pretty good team. cronin, GE, Schmidty, you and me. I hope none of us is a wolf though.

Poli 02-04-2007 11:55 AM

You know what's going to suck? I'm so used to going to the main page and just clicking the thread in WW that's currently listed.

That's not going to be a fun day if I do that right now.


And Ardent Honor: I'm no wolf.

GoldenEagle 02-04-2007 12:27 PM

I am in the tribe.

Poli 02-04-2007 12:49 PM

Word.

Raiders Army 02-04-2007 01:40 PM

I am also no wolf.

st.cronin 02-04-2007 05:24 PM

WOOT! I've got team spirit. And no, I'm not a wolf.

GoldenEagle 02-04-2007 07:33 PM

I never played Survivor before, so I may have some questions as the game goes on. I, of course, am no wolf.

Raiders Army 02-04-2007 10:09 PM

Check out wiki's website. Basically we do challenges and the losing tribe must vote out a member.

Raiders Army 02-04-2007 10:11 PM

So, we're the Team Elitist right? We're the players with the highest post counts.

Raiders Army 02-04-2007 10:36 PM

Hey, just so you guys know, there are two guys without a team: Tyrith and Imwithcrew (or something like that). I think we should try to get one of them on our team. They may come in handy when we go to Tribal Council.

I have no idea how this will be possible, but it sounds like a good plan.

Schmidty 02-04-2007 11:20 PM

PRESENT!!!!!!


There. I got that out of the way early. I'm gonna miss being that big guy. :(

Poli 02-05-2007 12:38 AM

S'allright, Schmidty. We'll miss it too. :)

st.cronin 02-05-2007 12:41 AM

Anybody know what the team name means? I know there's the HBO show, Oz, but the other tribes are Howard, Helsing, Lupus.

Poli 02-05-2007 12:42 AM

Dunno. I think Oz, I think Terpkristin's cat, honestly.

Or the musician.

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 08:45 AM

Ozzy was one of the runner-up last season. Van Helsing had Kate Beckinsdale. Howard was the last name of the Three Stooges. I have no idea on Lupus.

Barkeep49 02-05-2007 09:13 AM

Now this is going to be a particularly cruel post, for reasons which will become clear shortly, but want me to say what they mean?

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 09:15 PM

hopefully we did enough

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 10:08 PM

Welcome to the tribe ImTheCrew.

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 10:13 PM

thanks, seems like a very good tribe :-)

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 10:17 PM

You're a f'ing elitist now.

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 10:27 PM

a what?

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 10:31 PM

A f*cking elitist. Actually, I don't think any of us actually are (on FOFC). It's a somewhat long story. I can't remember who coined the phrase on here, but I believe it arose from certain people thinking certain other people were acting like elitists. Most of those elitists were members that had been here since the old days of another FOF message board.

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 10:33 PM

ohok

Barkeep49 02-05-2007 11:03 PM

Please note that thanks to a nice catch by ImtheCrew you have been declared victors of the reward challenge.

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 11:04 PM

Nice Win Tribe!

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 11:04 PM

First, good catch ITC! I'm glad you made it on the team!

Now,
Quote:

Oh and also before everyone leaves, I need at least one person from each tribe to send me a PM to be a "volunteer". You may not post anywhere that you have volunteered. If a tribe fails to have anyone volunteer there will be consequences. Of course too many people volunteering for this unknown thing could be bad too. So just how adventurous do you feel?

Since you and I are the only ones here, do you want to volunteer or do you want me to?

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 11:05 PM

what does this line mean "You may not post anywhere that you have volunteered"

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 11:05 PM

I mean, I will but the thing is that I don't have FOFC access at work.

Barkeep49 02-05-2007 11:06 PM

Do pay heed to the point where it says "You may not post anywhere that you have volunteered"

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 11:06 PM

Oh. Didn't catch that part.

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 11:06 PM

Well, I'm not volunteering. :)

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 11:06 PM

I'm going to bed. Night ITC. Great first day!

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 11:08 PM

Thanks, you too. so im guessing ill volunteer?

Raiders Army 02-05-2007 11:08 PM

Ummmm...just don't post that you volunteered.

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 11:09 PM

o ok i wont i get it now, oops

ImTheCrew 02-05-2007 11:12 PM

lets hope you did...........

GoldenEagle 02-05-2007 11:23 PM

My fault guys. I sent in nine pictures, but only got credited for 5. Some of the ones I took were really easy.

Word!

GoldenEagle 02-06-2007 12:10 AM

Great job newbie!

Poli 02-06-2007 12:16 AM

This is a post pad, in case the amount of posts in our own team thread ever count for anything.

Poli 02-06-2007 12:16 AM

Dola post pad.

Poli 02-06-2007 12:39 AM

Triple dola post pad. Another team is getting close.

Schmidty 02-06-2007 12:46 AM

Talk, talk, words, words.

GoldenEagle 02-06-2007 12:49 AM

What is there to talk about? Do we choose the seer or is randomly assigned?

Schmidty 02-06-2007 12:51 AM

Nothing. I just want the other tribes to think we're posting a lot, and that we know more than they do.

Schmidty 02-06-2007 12:51 AM

Oh, and I have no idea how the Seer is chosen.

Randomly.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 06:39 AM

Post.

Raiders Army 02-06-2007 08:21 AM

Cool.

Raiders Army 02-06-2007 08:43 AM

Just a reminder: While I'm at work, I don't have FOFC access. I'll check in at lunchtime (like yesterday).

Barkeep49 02-06-2007 08:49 AM



Tree mail arrives.

Quote:

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


Raiders Army 02-06-2007 09:18 AM

I emailed the challenge to my work. I'll work on the 8-20 line poem.

Raiders Army 02-06-2007 09:18 AM

Dola, and get it in at lunch today.

GoldenEagle 02-06-2007 09:49 AM

So, I guess we need some sort of team theme.

Poli 02-06-2007 10:50 AM

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.

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.

There might even be some celebrity judges coming to take a look at your poems, so I'd get to work.

Survivors ready? Go!



We definitely need a theme, and RA is working on the 8-20 already. Maybe we can look at his being the theme, whatever he's choosing.

We'll need two others to step up as well. I'll take the limerick.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 11:08 AM

im not very good with words :-(

Poli 02-06-2007 11:10 AM

Well, worst comes to worst, it doesn't say each poem has to by an individual. I could try and come up with something...

but mercy, I got a lot of females to put up with while I'm out. It would be hard for me to do more than one. One? I can probably wing it and get it done.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 11:17 AM

i could try to do the ryhme theme but im not promising, and im guessing were waiting for RA, to see what the theme is?

Poli 02-06-2007 11:18 AM

Think so. Meh, I don't like that, but we'll deal with it.

Poli 02-06-2007 11:19 AM

Try to come up with something werewolfish, though. I'm hoping that's the direction he's going with.

I'll post some stuff I can come up with over the next couple of hours.

I have an ultrasound on my neck at 1 Central, and then work after that. I'll have some net access, but really no time to be creative after that.

Anyone here can copy my work and post it as their own in the main thread, if we need it.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 11:30 AM

alright ill go ahead and do a werewolf rhyme poem, how many lines does it have to be?

Poli 02-06-2007 11:31 AM

Not sure. Guess enough to get the point across and rhyme.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 11:32 AM

this isnt for tribal council is it?

Poli 02-06-2007 11:33 AM

No, for immunity idols. Not the worst thing in the world to lose...but not something I want to lose in general.

Wikipedia the various forms of a poem. I am sure structure is going to go along way with this.

By the way, are you a vols fan? AE may love you if that is the case.

Poli 02-06-2007 11:33 AM

:)

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 11:36 AM

Yes Im A BIG Vol Fan!!!

Poli 02-06-2007 11:36 AM

How did you know, GE??

GO VOLS! ITC, if you only knew how big of a Vols fan I am...

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 11:39 AM

what made you become vols fan, since you live in missouri?

Poli 02-06-2007 11:41 AM

There once was a guy named Ardent
Who went to a forum so he could vent
He said, "I never lie"
They said, "You do, you must die!"
Poor Ardent was left with resent!

Poli 02-06-2007 11:42 AM

Lived in Lenoir City when I was younger, 13-14. I started watching football then. It's hard not to capture the enthusiasm there.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 11:44 AM

oh yeah i love the great state of tennessee

Poli 02-06-2007 11:45 AM

Where would we be with out this game?
Everyone thinks the same.
Regardless, we're happy to be here
Except the wolves, who rather be chewing on ears
Wolves are wussies
Oh, how I hate the wolves
Like I hate the Navy, I hate the wolves
Forever.

Poli 02-06-2007 11:45 AM

Amen, brother.

Poli 02-06-2007 11:47 AM

Now if I could figure out what a haiku is... :)

Feel free to alter the above poems as well, fellas. Like I said, at 1 pm Central I'm out, and probably out of creativity while online as well.

I'm putting off watching the latest episode of Heroes online to help. :)

Poli 02-06-2007 11:48 AM

I think I like the acrostic more myself.

Poli 02-06-2007 11:51 AM

The haiku is kicking my butt. 5, 7, 5, three lines? Dang.

Poli 02-06-2007 11:58 AM

I, I will survive,
If the wolves stay away
I will be alive.

Poli 02-06-2007 11:58 AM

Thoughts?

GoldenEagle 02-06-2007 12:11 PM

I think ImtheCrew and AE could have a brokeback snicker moment before this game is over with.

AE, I like the poem.

Poli 02-06-2007 12:12 PM

lol

Like I said, I may not be here to post them in the real thread. Feel free to adapt or just copy and paste.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 12:21 PM

sorry im back, at 12:45 ill be gone till about 3pm so i dont have alot of time, inbetween or after for a poem, but ill try

Poli 02-06-2007 12:22 PM

If RA has the other one, then all we need to do is change one of the ones I made or submit them.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 12:23 PM

how many have you posted? can you put them in one thread?

Poli 02-06-2007 12:24 PM

They are all in this thread. The haiku, the acrostic, and the limerick.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 12:26 PM

so ill do the rhyme?

Poli 02-06-2007 12:28 PM

You can, but I know RA is working on one. You could see if you could improve one of the other three.

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 12:30 PM

ooooooh i missread that, nvm i thought the 8-20 and rhyme were two seperate ones

ImTheCrew 02-06-2007 12:30 PM

ok so i thought there was 5, when there is only 4

Poli 02-06-2007 12:31 PM

I did as well, when I reread it I caught it.

Yep.

Raiders Army 02-06-2007 01:50 PM

Sorry, didn't get it done during work this morning (I know, I had to work). Working it now.

GoldenEagle 02-06-2007 01:54 PM

We are falling behind in the post counts. Maybe we should talk about football or something?

Raiders Army 02-06-2007 02:22 PM

Written rather quickly in iambic pentameter. A Shakespearean Sonnet:

Quote:

FOFC Werewolf

It started when we came to the Sideline,
To muse and talk about the game of Jim,
Blacky left and SkyDog said “This is mine!”
So he made a website for a text-sim.

And that was how eff oh eff see started,
SkyDog up front, Ryan S in the rear,
The board filled up until someone farted,
Then we voted someone out with a jeer.

And that was how WereWolf was brought about,
With no whistles and certainly no bells,
No, there are no polls, there is not a trout,
We vote to lynch WereWolves to save ourselves.

We kill all Werewolves and their evil kin,
And that is when we will finally win

By the way, I think we should title all of our poems. Gives us the edge in a judging contest.
