Survivor: Lupus Tribal Thread

[KWhit]

I think that we should not let anyone know specifically who has the idols. But an information leak to the general thread is a good idea. Feel free to do that if you like.

[Swaggs]

PM to Barkeep sent.

Do you guys think the language on the idols is deliberately vague? At first glance, I considered the shield idol to be the one with the wolfbane, but the language from Barkeep makes that less than certain.

Yes, I think it's deliberately vague. So no one will know which is which (even the person who has it).

[KWhit]

And it's now my bedtime. Good night all. Chat with ya tomorrow.

[Swaggs]

We almost have to let Blade be the one to make the information leak.

Blade, if you say it, it will almost definitely be met with some skepticism, but it will have to be noted by the wolves.

[KWhit]

Just as long as one of you does it. I'm going to bed.

Just got back from my date (and sex!) and I'm glad we lost. Sorry to see Rum go, but we knew that'd happen. I totally agree with ya here, Blade. no sense giving away the farm.


As to the idols, hmm. Sure, I'd like to have an idol, I won;t be a lier. But I understand if we'd prefer to get them to Blade and KWhit or whatnot. I'm not the biggest poster in teh game, nor am I around as much as others are.

Whatever you decide, I support.

Glad we lost?

[Abe Sargent]

Heh, glad we won but sorry to see that Rum hadta leave because of the loss. I was hoping that our nominee and the other nominee would face off and we'd have a chance to save Rum.

[Swaggs]

Gotcha...

We have a real strong team, so hopefully we won't have to do it again until we hit the final four. As long as we don't have to compete in a challenge that rewards sheer numbers, I like our chances.

[Abe Sargent]

Agreed, I'm pretty happy too.

I dont think we should say a thing...not even in this thread. If you swaggs gives you one, then great. Dont share about it...for the time being, as much as we may want to, we cant trust our own teams. A leak here or in the general thread is not wise yet. Whoever gets them, just sit on the information for a bit.

I think it would help us keep the wolves away if they think we have the idols among our group. A psychological edge that will make the wolves think twice about nightkilling one of us. Nothing specific, but just planting a seed would be helpful, in my opinion.

They know we won the idols, and mentioning we have them is fine. But i wouldnt tell them who we gave them too, or even that if we kept them in team. Leave that mystery out there. Knowing we have them, even if we dont use them on ourselves, should be enough to keep us safe for the time being.

[Chief Rum]

Hey guys, congrats on the poetry victory (and to myself, too, I guess). I figured I would be voted out, which was the sensible thing to do, given my time constraints. Still a shame we had to lose someone. This is a very strong, intelligent team, I think, and if none of us our wolves, will be a driving force in the game.

Swaggs, I voted for you out of a random choice (two coin flips), and because I figured I couldn't vote for myself. So don't think anyone else here has it in for you (nor do I have it in for you).

Good luck, guys, and I hope you make it to the end. I will be reading.

Take care, Chief.

I did vote for you, but only because it made sense given your earlier posts about the time commitment.

Sorry to see you go.

Wanted to check the real server time.

[KWhit]

I'll take the 9:53 time.

[KWhit]

Guys, read the challenge thread carefully. I just made a vote for the 9:53 round WHICH MEANS THAT NOBODY ELSE FROM OUR TEAM CAN VOTE IN THAT ROUND.

Let's not screw it up.

[KWhit]

For reference.

Today’s challenge is about voting. In Werewolf there is little that is harder to counter than the last second vote switch. Wolves can do this to manipulate the numbers. Villagers can do this to catch the wolves unsuspecting. We’re going to be simulating that excitement today. In a moment I’m going to reveal 9 times to you.

What you must do is be the first to post a vote at that time. Votes should be formatted in your team color and be bold (so, for instance, Oz’s should look like Vote Barkeep . If you’re the first to post on, or after, the designated time your tribe gets 3 points. Second 2, third 1, and fourth none. If your tribe posts before the time or more than one person posts for a tribe, it’s zero points. Also, if the person you vote for is a person who is doing the round for their team, and it is posted before that person’s vote, their vote will not count. Oh and I wouldn’t want to be the person who got the most votes at the end of the day. It’s not quite as bad as a normal vote, but it’s still not too pleasant. Every person on a tribe must do at least one round, but other than that there is no restriction about who can do a round.
Winning tribe gains immunity from a wolf attack, losing two tribes will go to tribal council.

The times are:

9:53
10:30
12:00
1:15
3:00
5:00
7:30
9:48
9:59 (votes must be in by 10:00)

Survivors ready? Go

[Abe Sargent]

I can grab the 10:30 time

[KWhit]

I'm taking this from the other trhead and answering it here...

?

Meaning that if I would have voted for Jonathan Ezarik, then his later vote for Ardent wouldn't count. And he'd be screwed.

Cool. I'm gonna be in the thread too. So hopefully someone will try to vote for me (to keep my vote from counting) and miss you.

[Abe Sargent]

playing with post time a bit

[Abe Sargent]

again

[Abe Sargent]

10:18

[KWhit]

Vote for somebody who is hanging around the forum, like Alan T. Maybe you'll get lucky and cancel his vote.

[Abe Sargent]

10:19

[Abe Sargent]

I was thinking of voting Schmidty so that we could vote someone off

[Abe Sargent]

AlanT makes sense though

[Abe Sargent]

1020

[Abe Sargent]

okay, I've figured out that I need to hit submit two seconds after my computer clock hits the number for it to go through as that new minute. Excellent.

[KWhit]

BK said that the votes aren't as bad as a normal vote (so I don't think we'd vote anybody off). And I don't want it to seem like we're ganging up on anyone yet (or people might come after us). I'm already afraid of having a target on my back since I won the first round. I guarantee I get 1-2 votes this time (especially since I'm going to be in the thread at the time).

Cool. Just don't be early.

Lupus 5

[KWhit]

I can do the one at 12:00 if nobody else shows up.

[Abe Sargent]

I can't do noon or 1:15, but I'll be back in teh afternoon and may be able to pick up 3 or 5 if we have need.

[Blade6119]

What do i need to do?

[KWhit]

Read the challenge. Do you want to do the 12:00 round?

Post if you'll do it or not asap. If you don't post by 11:45 or so, I'll do it.

ya, sure...to confirm board times, thats in around 45 min, right?

[KWhit]

Yes. You've got the 12:00, then. Some things to keep in mind:

You must post in bold and in your color.
Don't post early. Try to hit it exactly when the forum time goes to 12:00.
Vote for someone who is in the thread (since they may be the one to vote for their team and you can cancel out their vote that way).

[Abe Sargent]

Yep, and you can experminet like I did to find right when the boarc lock changes in comparion to yours.
