As had I. I assume there's at least one wolf in our tribe, but I have no idea what sort of strategy they will take to the tribal competition.

[Poli]

I'm trying to play this as if there is no wolf, as if it were just Survivor, and see where that takes me.

I've got a notion on who's the wolf in this bunch, which isn't something I'm going to share right now.

Do you think there's anything to the idea that the wolves are the volunteers? I don't think that makes a lot of sense, but it seems to be the conventional wisdom.

[Poli]

It makes sense to me...it's their either the wolves...or they have an immunity based on making mistakes and keeping their team from winning challenges...thus, a little more evil.

[st.cronin]

I'm not sure I buy it.

[Poli]

What?

[st.cronin]

That the volunteers = wolves. Suppose a tribe had a discussion about who should volunteer. Or what if nobody volunteered? It just doesn't make sense.

[Poli]

You couldn't discuss if you volunteered or not.

I've wondered if that's still a rule or not.

Yes, but prior to anybody volunteering, the tribe could have had a discussion, no? That's how I read it.

[Poli]

I don't think so, that's not the way I read it. Barkeep jumped in here and told us to cut it out.

[st.cronin]

Somehow I missed that exchange before.

[Poli]

Catch it now? So, your thoughts now?

[st.cronin]

Well, if you're right, it somewhat narrows down who the wolf might be in our group. I still think that's an unlikely way to pick a wolf. But, Barkeep's games are generally totally baffling to me, even after everything has been explained. I'll go with: I'm still a bit uncomfortable thinking that's how the wolves are picked. What weirds me out a bit is the people thinking it was obvious even though they had no access to this thread.

I don't know what we're supposed to do about the wolves, though.

[Poli]

I'm guessing Barkeep went into other threads and squashed other discussions as well.

[st.cronin]

That's why I'm thinking my guess is wrong. Maybe BKs comments in other threads made it more obvious.

[Poli]

Maybe, I don't know. Like I said, I'm going to let the werewolves come to me...and try to make my way around them.

[ImTheCrew]

10:15-12:45 3:00-5:30----times i can be here

[Raiders Army]

In case you guys were wondering, the wolf is probably either ITC or me based upon BK's explanation that the volunteer=evil. I believe that it is a pretty good assumption that the volunteer is a wolf since it would explain his squashing of conversation.

Anyhow, if that is true, then it's probably either ITC or me since we were the only two on. I know that I'm not the wolf; then again, if I were the wolf that is what I'd say.

[Raiders Army]

Dola,

I hope that our seer scanned either ITC or me last night. That would narrow it down. I think for the next tribal vote if we don't win immunity we should vote out either him or me. At least in this case we have a pretty good shot at getting a wolf.

Then again, there is the scenario that he didn't volunteer either. In which case, I don't think anyone volunteered. Regardless, I think that it makes it easy to decide whom should be voted out next.

[Poli]

I was hoping barkeep would come in and say if we're allowed to say if we volunteered after the fact, if you will.

I volunteered, but wasn't chosen, so someone obviously volunteered ahead of me. I asked about that and about the seer, and I wasn't chosen for either.

[Raiders Army]

Okay, so then I think that narrows it down to either ITC or me is the wolf.

I'm out for the morning. See you guys at lunch.

[Poli]

FYI, I'll be voting Jonathan as soon as the window is open. In 5 min. I've got the post ready and waiting. I may start posting in here to get the official timing down.

[GoldenEagle]

I will take the 10:30 vote.

I repeat, I will take the 10:30 vote.

[Poli]

I already laid claim to it. I may not be around at all after this.

[GoldenEagle]

Nevermind, AE it is all you but I will get the next one. Need to get my vote out of the way.

[Poli]

My name's already on the block as is.

[Poli]

Gotcha.

[Poli]

Test

[Poli]

Nice.

[Poli]

Working the clock.

[Poli]

I think my PC clock and this one are really close. It should be 10:28.

[ImTheCrew]

hey ae

[Poli]

Now to see if it's early at all.

[ImTheCrew]

so are you going to be the poster at 10 30?

[Poli]

Yo

[Poli]

Yep

[Poli]

You know it

[Poli]

Still timing

[Poli]

Good to go.

[ImTheCrew]

what if two members of the same tribe voted??

[Poli]

I, my friends, am good.

[ImTheCrew]

Great Job AE, i shold be able to do the next three, but id rather you since you have the times down whats your scheldule for the next three

[Poli]

My clock just happens to have it nearly on the second, but I do have to go around 2 hours from now for work.

[GoldenEagle]

Remember ImTheCrew, we all have to get at least one vote in or we get disqualified.

[ImTheCrew]

so do you think you can get the 12?

Actually there is just a penalty (you lose your top score, so in this case you'd have a 3 point penalty)

[Poli]

GE can have the next, it's no problem.

Barkeep must be laughing now at my timing posts.

[Poli]

I think we're in good shape to get everyone in though.

[ImTheCrew]

ok yea, the computers here have the clocks disabled, so 3 EST would be the best for me

[GoldenEagle]

My clock read "9:22" when I posted on the board. It showed up as 9:24 on the post time. So, I need to post at 11:58 here and hope that I am not early.
