Well it doesnt sound like I lose or die or anything from losing if I do here.. I think its more important to do everything we can to win and get immunity tonight. The reason I said swaggs before is, he and I currently are tied for votes. We can help our team by voting him and help me by voting him too.

In the end if we have to choose between trying to win team immunity and protect me, we need to do the former

Lose your highest point score. Which would be 3 for us. It is NOT disqualification.

He talked about negative roles being assigned from challenges. If he's giving out seers in these challenges then it's possible that the bad roles could be BAD. Voting for Swaggs does make since from multiple perspectives.

Yeah, I understand that.. and selfishly I don't want to lose that vote here from personal standpoints. I just figure either way I'm eventually an early wolf target I bet as well as evidentally being a target for other teams and will die at some point. So focusing at things that can help our entire team including myself seems best is all.

I mean, don't get me wrong.. I don't want the most votes here But just want to remain focused on catching up and passing Lupus.

[Passacaglia]

For some reason, Alan, I thought you and cronin were tied. I still think a vote of cronin protects you more, but a Swaggs vote does both reasonably effectively.

[Passacaglia]

Just to add -- at this point, I do intend to vote for Swaggs.

I would be in the lead 4-3 right now if not for goldeneagle messing up his vote for me not once but twice.

in addition, hope you all dont mind if I stoke them up just a little bit here. I'll stop now though

where did it say that?

[Passacaglia]

Stoke away, man! At your own risk!

[Lathum]

I'm not sure Swaggs will vote back to back without them knowing if his vote counted. That being said we need to chase Lupus down so I agree with the swaggs vote, we either block them or at worst put another vote towards swaggs.

This is what you are looking for Lathum

[Alan T]

C'mon Blade, rile them up!

[Alan T]

next challenge in a bit over 15 min Pass, hope you're ready!

[Passacaglia]

I am ready!

[Lathum]

cool, thanks for that

[Lathum]

I am actualy enjoying this challange

[Alan T]

THis is who I have down as still needing to vote (if the disqualified votes dont count that Goldeneagle, Path, marathoner and swaggs all had). Oz is in a world of hurt, 5 challenges left 4 people to get in.


Oz:
Cronin
Raiders
Golden
Schmidty

Lupus
Swaggs

Helsing
Pass
Wednesday

Howard
path12
Marathoner

[Passacaglia]

Me too, Lathum. It's killing my workday, but no big deal!

[Alan T]

Haha, I am pretty easy going. I like almost anything. So this doesnt bother me too much. I still was hoping for more of a speed question round type thing, but this will do.

[Alan T]

oh, and I think having a team I'm getting along with is helping me enjoy this some too. There are people on other teams I like alot such as path, Swaggs, etc.. but I am happy no one ended up on the same team with me that just sometimes annoy me

I don't really dislike anyone I play WW with, but this has been fun for me working together in a game for once.

[Lathum]

Mr. Wed is in the challange thread !!!!

[Passacaglia]

Yes!!!!!! He better not vote now! Vote later, Wednesday!!!

[Alan T]

wooo!!
Come on Mr.W!

[Alan T]

Lol

I agree totaly. I was telling the Mrs. our first tribal council is gonna be tough

[Lathum]

should I post in the challange thread for him to not vote ?

[Passacaglia]

might be a good idea..

[Alan T]

He's a smart guy, I bet he is catching up and will see the new challenge and understand its not wise to vote without checking in with us.

Right now I am hoping he can be available for the 5pm challenge. its pretty late to change our 3pm one.

[Lathum]

I think changing the 3:00 pm one is out of the question at this point

[Alan T]

One small bonus here is hopefully it makes teams think twice about who will be going for us. With him and Pass around. So in the end its as good of timing as we could hope for

[Alan T]

1 minute 20 seconds!

[Alan T]

err thats 1 min 40 seconds, but whatever!

[Lathum]

not horrible. Lupus got in first but we kept ahead with second, we didn't get anymore votes and swaggs picked up 2.

[Alan T]

I am glad I wasnt the one posting there at 3pm. FOFC completely froze for me when I refreshed my page

So Marathoner didn't bold his, so his vote doesnt count unless he reposts it.

So I have this now:

St.cronin - 3
Swaggs - 3
Alan - 2
Jonathan - 2
Ardent - 1
Schmidty - 1
Kwhit - 1
path - 1

Lupus 11
Helsing 9
Howard 4
Oz 4

Marathoner didnt bold his. If mine didnt count earlier, his won't now.

[Alan T]

Ok, so we have a comfortable second place lead right now. We just need to try to not lose it and hopefully keep up ground. Next order for business now is for Mr.W to let us know when he thinks he can go. Then we fill in the rest of the times.

[Passacaglia]

Sorry I couldn't get first, guys!

[Alan T]

Upcoming votes, Mr.W tell us which is the best time for you:

Alan - 9:53
Gramm - 10:30
Tyrith - 12:00
Lathum - 1:15
Passacaglia - 3:00
5:00
7:30
9:48
9:59 (votes must be in by 10:00)

Here is who hasnt voted for teams: (assuming the DQ votes dont count for path, goldeneagle, swags, marathoner)


Oz:
Raiders
Golden
Schmidty


Lupus
Swaggs

Helsing
Wednesday

Howard
path12
Marathoner


Do we just keep going with Swaggs here, or switch up to Blade or someone?

NP, we kept pace and you didn't get locked out.

Its ok, you finished high enough to keep us locked out of tribal council for now and keep it close. Plus we only have Mr.W now left to vote. we're in pretty good shape now if we don't blow it.

[Lathum]

Hey Mr. Wed, I was nervous but I knew you wouldn't let us down!!!

[Passacaglia]

I think we stay on Swaggs. Even if we can't beat their team, we should put the vote on him -- that will hurt their team.

[Mr. Wednesday]

5 pm or 7:30 pm will work best for me. I'll try to remember to check back in around 4:45-ish (maybe a bit earlier) to catch up on things.

I think if 5 or 7:30 works for you, I say go for 7:30. I don't know if we will have anyone else around then, and people might be gunning for you at 5.

That sound ok with everyone?

[Passacaglia]

Sounds good to me. I can do 5, but I think lathum can, too.

[Passacaglia]

Wednesday, be sure to check out lathum's atomic clock link.

I think all of us can do 5 (other than not sure if Gramm can). Tyrith also said he could earlier I know. (I dont remember Lathum saying he could do 5).

I think out of all of us, the most likely to get votes this time will be mr.W and myself. So I dont think I should do the 5pm one. I say one of you all (lathum, tyrith, Pass) decide to do it if thats ok with everyone. Then Mr.W do the 7:30 one. I'll rearrange my evening schedule to be back by 9pm or so.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Time check one.

[Mr. Wednesday]

I have NTP synchronization enabled, I'm double-checking right now whether I'm synched with the board. Time check one was for immediately before tickover, time check two will be for immediately after.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Time check two.
