This shows that EF has some strength, and we have to use him. So, since I generally agree with ML, that strength may be a factor, I think two good strength guys (one on each 2 man team) should cover us. This would allow us to rest our strongest guys. If folks are really convinced that a 3rd muscle man is needed, Thomkal can certainly take my place. |

Only average on puzzles but my strength may help, if I am teamed up with someone that is good at puzzles it could work out well.

dola: Sorry that I missed out on yesterday's challenge, that one may have been a good one for me with the strength, stamina and scrappy attribute.
Not much more time for me today as I am swamped again by work. Trying to bust my hump a bit so I can be freed up to watch game 6 tonight. |

So is Darth still going to be the caller? I like the idea that we should be clear that once all puzzle pieces are back, I should be shouting out instructions to the stronger players while still helping myself since I'm Excellent in puzzles.
Does everyone agree with that? Who should I be paired with if Darth is calling? |

Brad I think you should be paired with whomever is stronger of the remaining players. Actually I think our caller should be whomever is the weaker (strength, stamina) physically of our excellent teamwork players. The two best teamwork players after that (Darth and Maple?) should be the leader of the two-men teams.
Once all the pieces are back, the teams don't matter any more because all can work on the puzzle. I still think its a good idea of the weaker puzzlers to carry/move the pieces for the stronger puzzlers/weaker strength stamina. And one of our excellent teamworkers should be designated the leader maybe? To direct the work of the puzzlers so there is as little chaos as possible while trying to put the puzzle together. In the real Survivor that's what happens-too many people talking, trying to move pieces, thinking they have the answer, and they fail as a result. Calm could be a good skill to have here now that I think about it. |

Autumn says the puzzle is a giant 3-D puzzle, so its going to be bigger than some of you are thinking I believe. On the real Survivor they've had puzzles in this challenge be 3 or 4 stories high or so.

I won't be here much longer so i'm gonna have to send in my PM pretty soon. I'm the caller right? And i'll be directing everyone else around the beach? That should be an easy PM, and when all the puzzles are done then we can all assemble them right?
Who's the best at puzzles again?

That sounds good to me. If everyone else is ok with it, I'll send my PM in shortly. I'm going to need to get it in fairly quick as our CEO just walked through the door which means my day could be shot.

so once all of the puzzle pieces are back at the site and we begin assembling heybrad will be the leader. Everyone will put the puzzle together but he'll be directing where all of the pieces go? Am i getting that right?

So Darth the Caller, Brad and Maple the Leader of the two men teams-they lead each of the team to each piece per the Caller's instructions. Eagle and I take the brunt of the load of the puzzle pieces if we can.
Once we get all pieces back, one of Maple or Brad take over as leader with the other helping to figure it out, the rest of us shut up and move the pieces where Maple or Brad want us to go with them |

You and Maple are both excellent in those categories Brad, so either one of you are fine, but since you may have to leave and not be back, we should make you the leader for the puzzle part in case Maple doesn't get back

I'm here.
Sounds like everything is pretty well ironed out. When sending your directions, make sure you make a note of whether or not you'll be trying to lead -- especially when it's time to put the puzzle together. Having everyone try to talk over each other is death in these things. So during the find stage: Darth is the caller. Me and Brad lead the two-man teams, and we'll be the ones shouting back to Darth if we need to. EF and Thomkal are there to keep quiet and provide muscle. Puzzle stage: Brad is the leader. I'll help out with conveying instructions, but he's the leader. Everyone else keeps quiet unless they're absolutely sure they see something going wrong. Sound OK?

DAY THREE CAMP RESULTS
With fire, a good shelter and enough food, you are all finding life on the beach not all that rough. Everybody goes to work again today, splitting time between gathering food and improving the shelter. Chesapeake provides quite a stash of small game he manages to trap in the woods, providing quite a tasty meal for today. When it comes to the shelter, quite a few pitch in, EagleFan and Darth particularly, and you now have what would have to be considered state of the art as far as Survivor shelters go. It provides shade, shelter from wind and rain, a dry raised floor that keeps the bugs and vermin out.
In total it's a lovely camp. You each gain a health point back today (this will be added to your total after the challenge). You have between one and two day's stores of food, and your shelter is, you think, as good as you can make it for now, the only danger coming from any sort of deterioration it may suffer. |

That's a real shame. I wonder what cost us? I got the sense that Racer and Danny, at least, used extra effort on this one. Given the pasting we gave them earlier, I suspect they all did. They couldn't afford to lose.
I wonder why we ended up bickering too much? With our strong teamwork, I would have thought we'd have done a good job in this regard. Good job to those that advocated the participation of stronger guys. That appeared to be our sole advantage in the first part of the competition. |

I'll need you to private message me your council votes by 10:30 tonight.
You can submit your Day 4 actions at any point between now and them. Your new PM rights will start once I receive your actions. Obviously if you are chosen to go to Exile Island I will contact you about that after the council. |

Exile island thoughts: is there anyone that wants the job or that we feel would be particularly suited to the job? Is there a strategic reason why we might want to try and encourage them to pick a certain guy?

Looks like "Calm" ended up being a big deal in this one, which we overlooked.
Why did EF and chesapeake swap out at the last second? And how does tribal work? Is there any sort of Q+A beforehand or do we just PM our votes and find out at 10:30?

Sorry all, have been tied up all day. Sucks that we lost.
We have about three weeks of work to get done in about three days. Upper management seems to feel that we'll put out a better product if they force us to release it early though we are fighting critical issues. Needless to say, it's not fun. This was unexpected or I would have passed on the game. If it's deemed as best to vote me out I completely understand. |

ah that's too bad we lost-knew it didn't look good for us when we had to sub in for EagleFan. I mentioned that earlier today that I thought the calm skill might be in play here, but our other skills were so good that I thought we could overcome any weakness there.
No offense to you EagleFan, but I have to vote for you today. Sucks that your workload got tripled on you like that, but right now you're the least reliable when it comes to contributing to the tribe. Sorry. |

Welcome to tribal council. Take your torches and light them everyone. In this game fire represents life. When your torch is out, you're out of the game.
Tonight you will vote for one member of your tribe to go home. The rest of you will be one step closer to the end of the game. Take a seat. |

At this stage, my reasoning to vote someone out is how active they've been in helping the tribe to our early successess and hurt our chances in our one failure |
