Survivor: The Islands of FOFC Main Thread DAY THIRTEEN

[Autumn]

I think the main problem with the deadlines is just that people aren't paying attention. But I am going to change the daily timeline tomorrow. This means that:

You may submit your next day's actions as of 4:30 p.m. EST (you can always message me with them earlier, but they won't take effect until then). I will give camp reports by this time, so that you know the results of your previous efforts. I will also let you know the result of your challenge efforts on your health by then.

You may send in your actions after 4:30, your new PM privileges will begin whenever you submit your actions. I would like to have all actions in by 10:30 at the latest, we will put it that way.

[Autumn]

CURRENT PRIVATE MESSAGING PRIVILEGES HAVE BEGUN FOR DAY TWO.

You have until tomorrow, by 4:30 p.m. to use your message allotment.

[Autumn]

I am out for the night. Obviously (or maybe not to you guys, but to me), deadlines have been confusing to a lot of people. Please ask if you're confused about anything. Right now both tribes need to:

-Submit their challenge actions by 4:30 Tuesday

You can submit your actions for Day 3 to me anytime, if you need to get a placeholder vote in. However they will start taking effect as of 4:30 Tuesday.

Do we get to learn who was voted off the island at tribal council? Or does that remain a secret known only to the team?

I don't know how it works on the show, so figured I would ask here.

I'm guessing it's not you, then.

[Autumn]

lol

[Autumn]

All right, move along, move along.

[SnDvls]

ok boys let's do this!!!

[Darth Vilus]

Bring it on wolves! U know what happened yesterday!

[Autumn]

Welcome to your second challenge. Villagers, you can see that the Werewolves voted out CrimsonFox at last night's tribal council. You will therefore have to sit out one contestant, and I see that that is EagleFan.

You've divided into pairs. The first pair to enter the challenge will be Hoopsguy and Heybrad for the Villagers, and Racer and SnDvls for the Werewolves. Your goal is to find the bag hidden in the sand and return it to your tribe. At stake today is of course immunity, as well as camp supplies, including food and waterproof matches.

At the whistle, go.

[Autumn]

Everybody races out towards the spot in the sand. Racer and SnDvls start digging in the sand, looking for signs of the bag. It looks like the Villagers have a different strategy here. Hoopsguy is hanging out, not even looking for the bag, keeping his eyes on the Werewolves. It looks like they're going to have to deal with the Beast if they want to get back.

Oh! The rest of the three are digging furiously in the sand but it doesn't look like anyone has a clue yet. But Hoopsguy is just going after Racer! The Beast is all over the Roadie, just trying to knock him to the ground and keep him from searching.

[Thomkal]

go Beast! Knock him into tomorrow's challenge!

[SnDvls]

come on Racer...kick him in the nuts!!!

[SnDvls]

we're not here to play nice

[Autumn]

Racer is tough, he throws off Hoops for a moment but Hoopsguy is relentless and just drives Racer to the ground.

Meanwhile it's up to SnDvls and Heybrad to look for the bag. They're both digging, keeping an eye on each other.

But wait, Heybrad has something, he's pulling out the bag!

[SnDvls]

alright now's my chance to scratch your eyes out

[heybrad]

Prepare to take an old man ass beating!!!

[SnDvls]

I hope you took your geratol today

[Maple Leafs]

Hey bag.

[Darth Vilus]

COME ON HEYBRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRING HOME THE BACON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Autumn]

Heybrad says something and Hoopsguy jumps off of Racer and is heading toward the bag too. SnDvls doesn't seem to notice yet, but Racer is up and rushing after Hoopsguy right away.

Heybrad has handed the bag to The Beast but Racer is right there to try to get it. Heybrad slams into Racer, trying to provide a block. That's a pretty good block, but it doesn't look like anything is going to stop Racer, he just plows right through Heybrad going for that bag.

[SnDvls]

if everyone yells HeyBrad he'll be distracted and drop the bag right?

[heybrad]

Wow... plowed right through my old bag of bones.

[SnDvls]

no way that tub-o-lard Hoops could out race Racer nor I in a foot race....right

[chesapeake]

Let's go, big fella!

[SnDvls]

make sure you bold BIG next time ok

[Autumn]

Hoopsguy takes off for the races, trying to use his strength to just shove Racer into the dirt as he takes off. He gets some distance, Racer gets shoved back, and it looks like Hoops is in the clear, he clearly can run better than the somewhat diminutive Roadie.

But Racer takes off like a bat out of hell and somehow catches Hoopsguy from behind.

Racer now has the bag!

[Darth Vilus]

you know Hoops actually tried out for thr part of the hulk in "The Incredible Hulk".

He was too big though

[Autumn]

It's now an out and out melee. SnDvls and Heybrad have caught up with the other two, Racer has pulled the bag out of Hoopsguy's arms and it looks like we may have a brawl on our hands.

[chesapeake]

C'mon Hoops! Time for a choke slam. Or a German suplex! Let's see some wrasslin!

[Autumn]

Racer sees that Heybrad and Hoops are both coming at him. He sets himself to take off, but then no - he throws the bag to SnDvls!

[chesapeake]

This is some fine TV!

[SnDvls]

ah to have the mind of a brain surgeon

[Autumn]

Hoopsguy slams into Racer anyhow, but the guy takes it somehow and is still standing. The two shove at each other trying to head in the direction of the bag.

SnDvls takes off for the goal. Heybrad clearly has no chance to keep up with the guy if he gets in the open, not on those arthritic knees. But he reaches out and gets a hand on SnDvls's arm and holds him back. Now they're just plain wrestling over the bag.

[Autumn]

Racer and Hoopsguy go at it again, Hoops trying to lose the roadie and get to the bag, Racer trying to get in his way. They're far too evenly matched in strength it seems, but Racer surprises the Beast, going for his eyes, and distracts the guy long enough to wrestle him down to the sand.

[SnDvls]

that's what I'm talking about.

[Autumn]

SnDvls has his hands around the bag. They're both shoving and pushing each other. But HeyBrad just is too strong for the surgeon and he rips the bag from SnDvls. It looks like he's going to run for it.

[chesapeake]

Hobble for it?

[SnDvls]

good thing heybrad has bad knees

[Autumn]

It seems like a perfect stalemate out there, each pair going at each other without pause or fail.

But then Racer has to let up on Hoopsguy and chase after Heybrad now. Heybrad isn't getting far, but Hoopsguy takes the chance to outrace Racer himself to the scene of the scrum. Heybrad tosses the bag to Hoopsguy, and now they all have to try to drag down The Beast.

[Autumn]

The other two fall behind, but Racer dogs Hoopsguy the whole way. In the end though he just can't quite keep up with the guy, and after what seems like several long agonizing moments of the two slugging each other all the way to the goal, Hoops surges over the finish line with the bag.

VILLAGERS HAVE ONE BAG

[Autumn]

Sorry guys, my kids decided to go into ultra spastic mood, and then my wife left. It's going to take a bit for me to get through all of these, but I'll keep plugging.

[SnDvls]

dang it

[Autumn]

Well, this challenge is going to leave some bruises. The Villagers now have one bag, they need one more to secure the win.

Up next is Darth Vilus and Chesapeake from the Villagers, going against J23 and Greyroofoo from the Werewolves.

[chesapeake]

Hurray team! Violence IS the answer!

[hoopsguy]

It was kind of Autumn to use artistic license to not make the werewolves feel any worse about their loss. I'm sure that is what happened, and that some common roadie did not actually push me to extend more than about 30% effort on this challenge.

[SnDvls]

starts a "Let's go Werewolves" chant

[Thomkal]

Woohoo Beast and the Old Man!

[SnDvls]
