GINDIN Tribe: JURY VOTE IS IN

[Autumn]

Oh I forgot to mention, let's bring out the first member of our jury, SnDvls, voted out last night.

[Thomkal]

Just the usual frantic and completely understandable attempts to create chaos in the tribe by those who are feeling more vulnerable than others at the moment.

[Autumn]

So, who's feeling vulnerable, Thomkal? Not you I take it.

[Racer]

Danny and I have tried to point out that there is no way there isn't sub-alliances in a tribe of six. If they don't use us, whoever the power players on their tribe will make it to the end. I'm guessing it's guys like Thomkal and Hoops who are the most animated about staying true to the tribe of six.

[Racer]

I'm feeling vulnerable because while I have the immunity necklace, I'm probably going to lose my closest ally tonight.

[Danny]

Yep and that's knowing I am voted out today. Whoever wants to win this and isn't one of those power players really needs to use Racer tomorrow to help them.

[Thomkal]

Well you can never feel completely invulnerable in this game Jeff...er I mean Autumn. I won't be completely surprised if you tell me to bring my torch tonight. But that likely won't happen I think.

[Autumn]

So clearly we still have Villagers and Wolves in the new tribe. Is the vote tonight as simple as that? Are there any other thoughts that go into who to vote out tonight?

[Racer]

I'm voting for a villager.

[Autumn]

Well, we'll see how this plays out. All the votes have been cast. Racer has the immunity necklace. He cannot be voted for tonight.

If you hold a hidden immunity idol, now would be the time to use it.

[Danny]

Suckers, I will use mine.

[Autumn]

"Excuse me, Autumn. I hate to do this, but I've been hearing talk in camp, and it looks like I'd best."

Heybrad is playing a hidden immunity idol. Bring it up and let me see it.

[Autumn]

This is an actual immunity idol. Any votes cast for Heybrad will be discounted.

[Danny]

Oh wow, I was just joking on my post. I didnt think there was an idol

[Autumn]

I'll now read the votes.

[Danny]

[Solecismic]

[Thomkal]

hamburgers and brats.....mmmmmm

[Autumn]

I should make one of the reward challenges a cookout with Jim.

[chesapeake]

You played hard and well up to the end, Danny.

Crap. With Danny gone I just realized that I have to catch a lot more of the food for this host of malcontents. That man could tie a fly with the best of 'em.

[Autumn]

The next challenge will be announced after I have all camp actions in - and probably not until the morning.

[Autumn]

To clarify, the health status I just sent out is at the end of this day - it does not include any resting you may plan to do on day 9.

[heybrad]

Hmm... paranoia and non responses got the best of me.

[hoopsguy]

Brad, sorry that I wasn't around leading up to the deadline as I know that I was one of the non-responses. It looks like some stuff went down in PMs after I left, but the tribal council was already nearly done by the time I logged upon arriving home.

[Maple Leafs]

Sorry Brad, I was out of PMs.

I got my first PM from the wolves tonight when working late and didn't see it when I had an opportunity to respond. So I can only assume my "animation" is from questioning you guys in the thread.

I also think the villagers would tell you that your tribe has way overstated my involvement in this game. I'll withhold public comments on who has been good/bad, but you've been collectively stressing about the wrong person.

Brad, I was out of PM's too, so that's why I spoke to you on the board here. Tsk Tsk for not believing me.

Whether it makes sense or not is open to debate, but as far as any of you know there will be a final three, and a six person jury.

[Autumn]

Your challenge today will be for the individual immunity necklace. THe winner will be safe from tribal council tonight, someone else will be going home.

Your goal today will have multiple steps. First you need to retrieve a locked bag of puzzle pieces suspended in the air. You will throw stones at a tile. If you manage to break the tile the puzzle pieces will drop.

Next, those who have their puzzle pieces will attempt to dig up a key buried in the sand. Once the key is found it can be used to unlock the bag of puzzle pieces. The contestants will then have to assemble the pieces to form a wheel, which when attacked to the pulley there can be cranked to lower two planks to your position.

With the planks in hand the contestant has to use the planks to attempt to cross a rope bridge. Once across they must race across a series of steps suspended on ropes to get to the final platform. The first one there is the challenge winner.

Please submit your challenge actions by 4:30 EST.

[Racer]

So Autumn, will there be a Pondersosa thread now where those who have been voted out can discuss what's going on the game? Hopefully if there is, I won't be going there any time soon.

Even if you weren't a major player in your tribe thread, you could easily have been (and likely) a major player behind the scenes (as in PMs and alliances).

[hoopsguy]

Racer, you don't have to believe me re: my overall involvement. It is fine either way, but I've been such a long way removed from a master manipulator in this one it is funny. I've been much more of an "along for ride" character than I usually play in werewolf games. Partly because I've been feeling my way out in terms of the show, partly because of work/home schedules being a challenge.

I'm planning on turning up the intensity down the stretch, but we'll see how that works out.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea.

This is obviously up to autumn but in the show the jury isn't allowed to discuss what is happening in the game, they can only watch. If it's for the people who were voted out b4 the merge then that seems fine.

This is getting totally off topic, but if you ever watch the Ponderosa videos on Cbs.com the jury clearly discusses the game with each other after they've better voted out while at Ponderosa. They just can't talk when they come to tribal council.

[heybrad]

So I hate to throw a minor wrench in today's proceedings, but I have a major outage on a server at my work which has to be my focus until it's fixed. If you don't hear from me, that's why. I'll post something letting everybody know when I'm free again.

[Autumn]

Welcome to your challenge. Today you're fighting for individual immunity, and the guarantee of lasting another day.

You all see the challenge here. The first step is to free your bag of puzzle pieces by throwing a stone and breaking a tile. Everyone is lined up, take your stones and we'll begin.

Everybody is hurling their stones. Some pretty bad throws out there. Nobody even coming close. It's going to take a minute to get a target on it I guess. More misses. Everyone rushing and not getting a bead on it.

[chesapeake]

good luck, all.
