Survivor: New Helsing Tribal Thread

[Mr. Wednesday]

Is anyone around for Lupus right now?

[Mr. Wednesday]

OK, then I'll vote.

[Alan T]

not sure, I havent seen any of them post for a bit, but I am assuming they will have someone pop in at deadline to post. I am guessing it will be Blade, but just purely a hunch based on who usually is around right now

[Alan T]

ok cool Mr.W thanks. Good luck on it. I am guessing i will get hammered this vote from other teams (I hope I am wrong though). Hope you are able to block Lupus. If we get first and Lupus gets 0 points, we tie for first.

[Alan T]

4 minutes 15 seconds

[Mr. Wednesday]

I'll probably go into the thread about a minute before deadline. If Blade isn't in there by then, should I revert to Swaggs, or go ahead with the attempted blocking vote on Blade?

[Tyrith]

Yeah W, if you have the timing down please take the shot

[Alan T]

I'll hop in there in another minute just so they think I might be voting. at this point votes for me help you not get blocked.

Eh, I think we go for the most likely person to vote. My guess is whoever is voting already has it ready so you wont see them till they strike.

I bet its blade, but go with your gut. Im ok with it.

[Alan T]

I would be really really suprised if its swaggs voting this time

[Mr. Wednesday]

I'm within +/- one second. Within that, it's touch-and-go, as I noted, I came in third and was less than a second slow last time.

[Alan T]

ok 2 min till. I am changing to that thread. good luck Mr.W I'm rooting for you.

[Alan T]

its part luck. Just do your best, its cool

[Alan T]

ok switching threads. 90 sec to go

[Alan T]

nice job!

[Mr. Wednesday]

They're much slower this time than last.

[Mr. Wednesday]

And here I got all jittery voting literally as my clock ticked over.

[Alan T]

haha, did they all forget the time was 7:30?

[Grammaticus]

Good Job!

[Grammaticus]

Nobody else posted a vote

[Alan T]

Howard came and voted for Swaggs which is excellent

[Alan T]

Updated score. we are tied for first!

Lupus still has to vote and will likely vote for either myself or cronin though. They wont get any points from it team score wise though.

St.cronin - 3
Alan - 3
Swaggs - 7
Ardent - 1
Schmidty - 1
Jonathan - 2
Kwhit - 1
path - 1
Lathum - 1
blade - 1

Lupus 13
Helsing 13
Howard 9
Oz 5

[Alan T]

Next two challenges are 9:48 and 9:59. I'll be back in an hour or 90 min or so to see who all is around. we can figure out who we want to go with and who to vote.

[Mr. Wednesday]

I may or may not be around. There's this soccer game between the U.S. and Mexico tonight that's calling for me to watch.

[Tyrith]

Soccer, pfft :P

[Lathum]

hey guys, back. Gonna catch up on the challange thread

[Grammaticus]

BK, you keep reminding people of who has not voted, etc. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having the rule? I mean the teams should work together to figure out who has not voted and ensure that everyone is lined up for participation, etc.

I talked to him earlier just to get clarification on the rule to see if people like swaggs, path, marathoner, etc who had illegal votes still were required to vote again. I am guessing he is publically posting just so answering me in private wouldnt be an unfair advantage.

His point was the rule was to encourage participation from everyone and not have just one person doing the vote every time.

[Grammaticus]

I know but reminding them that RA has not voted is just helping them out. They need to organize around that themselves. Part of these challenges are that teams beat themselves. Otherwise this is just a boring click fest.

[Grammaticus]

Any ideas on who to vote for in the last few votes? Looks like Swaggs is the runaway winner so far on the vote totals. I'm thinking we try to look for a block. My guess is that one of the Lupus players is our best bet.

I'm betting that Blade will be around as usual. He is probably a good choice to hit for the last two votes??

[Alan T]

Yeah, I think we stick with blade I guess for the next vote. Who wants to do it?

[Grammaticus]

I have to watch Lost with my wife from 9pm to 10pm. Plus I can't time the votes like you guys.

[Lathum]

I can do one or both

[Alan T]

I dont mind doing one if folks thinks its safe for me to. Just dont want to get blocked and cost us first

[Lathum]

I think it's best if you stay out, we need the points so getting blocked would be bad, but we still need as many of us in the thread as possible. I hope the events of today don't dampen peoples spirits.

[Alan T]

I'll be here and in the threads at times. If thats the best way I can help, so be it

[Lathum]

ok, so am I doing both then?

[Alan T]

Got 45 min or so still, can see if anyone else shows up that is dying to do them. If you wanna do both, its ok with me though

[Lathum]

fine by me also, I'll asssume I am doing both but will be in the thread if anyone else jumps in

[Passacaglia]

Just checking in...rock on, Helsing!

[Tyrith]

I would say go ahead and do both unless we come up with something clever.

[Lathum]

ok.

should we go blade blade?

[Alan T]

Yeah, Blade seems like most logical choice. I highly doubt Swaggs will since he is collecting votes. I havent seen Kwhit around much tonight, so its probably either Blade or Anxiety.

Next two vote times are:

9:48
9:59

[Lathum]

ok, I'll be ready

[Lathum]

What do you guys think of Blades proposal?

[Lathum]

hey guys, I am not gonna vote Blade this round so we can possibly explore his idea, thoughts?

[Alan T]

I think if there is a team we want the wolves to go after, its lupus. they have the bodyguard idol in their team somewhere. It doesnt hurt us to take him up on the deal other than last deadline backstabbing that turns us into second.

[Lathum]

arg, Blade is starting a war

[Lathum]

blade or no blade, what do you think?

[Lathum]

need help here guys, if I get no response we are about to start a war with lupus because I am gonna stick to the plan and vote blade
