Survivor: New Howard Tribal Thread (Tribal Council Due 10 PM Sunday) - Page 18

Passacaglia · 02-13-2007, 10:10 AM

And I'll take B.

Grammaticus · 02-13-2007, 10:14 AM

I'm thinking we wait until as close to 10pm as possible for each person to toss out their choice.

It is imperative that everyone at least make a choice. So, if you will not be around, better early than never.

KWhit · 02-13-2007, 10:16 AM

Yep I agree. I assume it doesn't matter what order we post them in, right? We just each have to post our choice close to 10 or earlier.

KWhit · 02-13-2007, 10:18 AM

Something else occurs to me. I think this challenge indicates that the wolves can communicate. The only real strategy involved here deals with the passing of info back and forth between the two tribes by the wolves.

Otherwise it's pretty much just dumb luck.

So you think RA was lying?

When you post doesn't matter as long as it is before 10. One player on the other team is already out for the day and he's posted already.

That's interesting. Barkeep, can you explain a little more about who posted their choice? You don't have to give his name -- just what letter he is, and what he chose.

I think that either:

1) He was lying.

Or

2) The wolves couldn't communicate at the time but can now (probably changed at the merger)

Or

3) We still don't have all the correct info about what RA said/did.

KWhit · 02-13-2007, 10:45 AM

Or maybe the wolves really can't communicate and this challenge is pretty much just luck.

I think I talked a lot about it in the common thread, but even with that, I never mentioned who it was that made our changes. Anyway, I'm not sure I see an obvious connection between the two tribal threads. Gram, you have any thoughts on it?

Mr. Wednesday and I discussed in the main thread, that I wanted to change the last value. I indicated why and in th end we netted an overall plus for the villagers. I know there was not contact with anyone on howard or any other tribe by me.

what was the reward and who got it?

2nd thing, anyone know about this pm, are there more wolves now?

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 11:15 AM

The old Howard tribe won. The reward is a thread that only path and I can view and use.

ImTheCrew · 02-13-2007, 11:16 AM

o ok , what about the pm, any knowledge or ideas?

Passacaglia · 02-13-2007, 11:27 AM

Lathum sent in the PM for Old Helsing. I don't think it meant much, but somehow helped to randomly decide how the merger went down.

Where's F?

Passacaglia · 02-13-2007, 01:18 PM

What do you think of Helsing's proposal? Maybe it's because I'm on the other side this time, but I just don't see the numbers as being necessarily in their favor -- at least not by much.

ImTheCrew · 02-13-2007, 01:25 PM

Checking in briefly during a break at work. Anything I need to do?

Passacaglia · 02-13-2007, 01:43 PM

all you need to do, GE, is pick rock, papaer, or scissors.

Grammaticus · 02-13-2007, 01:52 PM

Any concerns over how we choose or any strategic advantage to picking a certaine way? For example Path and JE can communicate. How can we ensure that our info is not shared?

Passacaglia · 02-13-2007, 01:55 PM

I'm not too worried about path and JE. Either they're both villagers, or one is a wolf and one a villager, so they won't want to help each outher out. Gram, what do you think of Helsing's idea? The chance for both of us to be scanned seems worthwhile to me.

Passacaglia · 02-13-2007, 02:19 PM

JE -- if it's any consolation to you, if we lose, I assume we would be looking at the Lupus members first.

Merely a stay of execution. Where's the motivation to stick around and contribute if I already know that I'm on deck to be voted out. Same goes for the KWhit and Anxiety.

GoldenEagle · 02-13-2007, 02:26 PM

I choose paper.

Grammaticus · 02-13-2007, 02:46 PM

BK,

Why can't we PM the picks to you. Sombody might see our picks?

Can you change a pick once it is made? Is it last pick posted?

I think Helsing should throw the challenge and eliminate their guy first.

Abe Sargent · 02-13-2007, 02:48 PM

Well, I think it sucks, but *I* will still be participating as much as possible until the end and helping out as much as I can. I can;t stand losing, even in a game like this

I hate losing, too. And even though I am extremely frustrated with how things are going, I'll do everything I can to win challenges for us. The only way I can save myself is to keep us out of tribal council.

KWhit · 02-13-2007, 02:53 PM

You'll last longer than me then, I'm sure. My motivation to play this game hass just dropped down to zero.

Grammaticus · 02-13-2007, 03:01 PM

Well, Oz originals, did Schmidty say anything as he was voted off. Did he elude to being the seer or not, etc? Do you guys think the seer is still in play? For those of you in the old Lupus / Howard tribe, if Helsing eliminates first, there is a chance of staying in the game long enough for things to change. Whatever that might be.

Poli · 02-13-2007, 03:40 PM

Yo, that was a long long drive. What's the letter thing for? I'll be looking in the other thread in a second.

I'm playing hooky from work for about 3 hours to help do what I can.

KWhit · 02-13-2007, 03:42 PM

Jonathan and Anxiety:

I think there is a way we're not dead yet. BUT... We have to stick together.

So here's what I propose. The three of us form an iron-clad alliance. We need to keep trying to win challenges to try to keep Howard out of tribal council. But if/when we do go, I have a plan that just might keep us alive a little longer.

Poli · 02-13-2007, 03:44 PM

1. Schmidty rarely said anything. Ever.

2. I've got a strong feeling I know who the seer is, based on a gut feeling and posts I think he was hinting at.

3. I'm guessing I should keep that to myself, though.

4. I'm not the seer.

Kwhit, I'd help out, but I have no guarantees I'd stick around either.

Poli · 02-13-2007, 03:54 PM

Interesting, so we post here what we're throwing. Cronin's my boy, but I have no intention on having him tell me what to throw.

I'll throw what the team would have me throw, or throw something else than what Cronin is asking.

Live together, die alone.

Fair enough. We'll see. Hopefully we won't ever lose another challenge.

But if we do, I'll post my proposal.

KWhit · 02-13-2007, 03:55 PM

At least I've figured out a possible way that I might possibly stay alive a little while longer. If nothing else, that's keeping me interested in the game.

Poli · 02-13-2007, 03:55 PM

I want the team to win, the villagers to win. Survivor aside.

Poli · 02-13-2007, 03:56 PM

Barkeep hinted to me in a PM that there was something coming to help "me" out...which I guessed was the merge.

This renews my enthusiasm a ton.

KWhit · 02-13-2007, 03:57 PM

And Jonathan and Anxiety:

No need to post "I'm in" or anything like that at this time. I just wanted to post my initial thoughts to plant a little bug in your ear. Just something to keep in mind.

Poli · 02-13-2007, 03:59 PM

Put me down for ROCK.

Grammaticus · 02-13-2007, 05:00 PM

Well, original members of Oz are you willing to form an alliance with Pass and I?

Poli · 02-13-2007, 05:13 PM

I need to look at those numbers...what the tribe breakdowns turned out to be...I'd rather side with group least likely to have a wolf.

Poli · 02-13-2007, 05:14 PM

Besides, I'm not worried about an alliance. We need to work together.
