Survivor: New Helsing Tribal Thread

[Tyrith]

test 6

[Alan T]

I see Pass here now, what times do you think you can cover today?

[Tyrith]

test 7, last one hopefully

[Tyrith]

Okay, I've got it down to about a second, I think we're good.

[Alan T]

Barkeep, one thing I dont understand and you never answered my question...

You said no additional posts other than the vote at that time or it doesn't count. But I see people posting non stop in the thread. What did you mean by that rule clarification? You can only post vote whatever once and if you dont bold it you lose the vote? Ie: what ardent and I did the first round wouldnt count in future rounds? Or did you literally mean posts?

[Passacaglia]

Just skimmed to catch up. I'll take 3 PM.

[Tyrith]

I think he means that if you screw up the formatting in the first vote you can't make a second vote post to fix it, aka your situation won't work anymore.

[Alan T]

Alan - 9:53
Gramm - 10:30
Tyrith - 12:00
Lathum - 1:15
Passacaglia - 3:00
?Mr.W? -5:00
7:30
?Alan? - 9:48
?Alan? - 9:59 (votes must be in by 10:00)

Ok wrote Lathum for 1:15, Pass for 3pm. I tentatively wrote Mr.W in for 5pm. Hopefully he will be able to do it either then or noon with tyrith taking the other.

Who will be here at 7pm that can do that one? I know I wont.

[Tyrith]

Hopefully he doesn't have to take noon, I just got this setup the way I like it and if he takes that I'll have to redo it on my desktop

I mean only one vote per tribe per round. You can post in the thread as much as you'd like

[Passacaglia]

Oh, this is eastern time, right? Dangit, Barkeep, I know you live in Central, what's the dealio? I can do either 3 or 5, if Wednesday wants the other one -- after all, today is his day.

[Passacaglia]

So if someone votes in two time slots, do both votes count, or does just the last one count, or do they have to unvote?

[Tyrith]

Everyone just has to go once. Any person can go multiple times.

[Passacaglia]

I'm asking whether or not both votes he makes counts as votes for those people.

[Tyrith]

I don't see why they wouldn't.

[Lathum]

so any speculation why there was no wolf kill last night?

[Alan T]

Each time slot's vote counts seperate. One person can vote in 4 different time slots with each vote counting as long as they were the only voter from their team.

The only requirement is that every member of the team has to vote at least in one timeslot. So right now we really need Mr.W to show up, and even if we get a 0 pointer from him, need him to pick one of the slots at least to vote in. 15 minute late vote still counts for the full requirement, it just gets us 0 points most likely.

(It will still count as a vote against the person though)

No idea.. Right now I am really curious to how the wolves work. I am wondering if they have certain game objectives they have to meet to "win" a night kill, or what. I am thinking if you just add in wolves the standard WW way into this, it will be really difficult for the villagers to root them out as we dont know voting records or anything of the sort overall.

Keeping a game atmostphere, I have to guess they have some game element to their actions too. (like how the good guys have to win seer or bodyguard roles.)

[Alan T]

Next round voters for team I think might be:

Lupus - Seen Blade around now. Not sure if he will be by 12, but he is a likely candidate.
Howard - ntndeacon or path are around now.
Oz - Not seen anyone new. Goldeneagle was here earlier so maybe he might go next.

[Alan T]

Swaggs for lupus is around too now. However if I have to guess he likely will go in an evening slot. Not sure though.

Oh and St.cronin for oz is around too.. so he might go next. If so, then Tyrith getting your vote in for cronin first might be very important

[Grammaticus]

I agree with whoever said they did not like this challenge so much. Relying on the speed of a computer is a bit random. When you have almost everyone just sitting in queue waiting to press a button, it is kind of flat. Might work better if BK posted a question and you had to answer it first. You could even list what the topic for each post would be ahead of time.

Thats what I was actually hoping this contest would be. But oh well

[Tyrith]

I think I have it down to 2-3 seconds at most. It should be fine assuming I don't hit a lag spike (aka the board flipping out) ... we shall see. But I'd stop stirring up cronin if I were you, Alan, so they don't all start voting for you.

He's just being rather flippant about everything and I don't understand why.

[Tyrith]

Because even if you assume that people that volunteered are still wolves we really aren't anywhere. I seriously don't have any idea what's going, I'm just trying to win challenges and not really thinking about it at this point. Although I suppose we really do need to start thinking about it, but it's just...weird when we don't even really know what our objectives are.

[Alan T]

THats what I said though. I said I don't know how it helps a ton by assuming people who volunteered are wolves.

It just feels like Cronin is trying to stir up trouble.

[Tyrith]

Probably. It's what he tends to be good at. I would be perfectly okay with him getting whatever nasty punishment is to come.

[Lathum]

I agree Cronin's been a little strange for him. I am also trying to run some interference to deflect some attention from alan

[Alan T]

Well for now, I guess we need to just keep voting for him since it keeps us the safest. I am geussing Lupus and Howard will be aiming at the "big fish" today too, since they dont want to go down 6 people to 3 people this fast.

[Lathum]

test

[Lathum]

test.

[Tyrith]

Alan, does anyone besides cronin have two votes now?

[Lathum]

test1

[Lathum]

test2

[Passacaglia]

I say we try to predict other team's voter, rather than voting for Oz -- take down the leaders a peg.

[Alan T]

nope, only Cronin and I do.

I backed off some so I didnt put our team in a bad spot. Normally I would go head to head with cronin, but in this game with teams, I fear it would hurt you all more than anything.

We can do that, but it likely will mean I get today's "punishment" whatever it is.

[Lathum]

test4

[Lathum]

test5

[Tyrith]

I think we may not have a choice but to keep going after cronin; Alan has put a target on himself, and they might start trying to race us...but we could also show we're willing to back down from the attempted run away and maybe they'll back down. Part of me is uncomfortable with us always voting for cronin; it might put a target on the entire tribe if we make ourselves the antagonists.

[Lathum]

ok, i syncd up with the atomic clock and I think I got it.

[Tyrith]

I'm either voting for cronin or blade, I'm willing to listen to the consensus.

Well I think this time Cronin is their likely voter. Blade looks to be a likely voter too.

I think this time makes sense to vote for cronin just because he might be their voter.

For Howard it might be path this time since ntndeacon just went, but Im not sure if Path is still around

[Lathum]

I agree to back of cronin, plus other tribes may have picked up on the fact cronin has a couple of votes and try to go after him also.

[Alan T]

With it tied 2-2 voting for cronin has a plausible defense that its to protect me from the vote. You also might get lucky and push their score below ours which propells us into 2nd place and out of tribal council.

If we vote for blade and end up as the first vote, at best we end up tied with them.

[Tyrith]

Yeah, let's just go with cronin, I'd rather try to knock down the second place team and try to keep the punishment off of Alan than try to take out the first place team. I suspect someone else might try to go after blade anyway.

[Passacaglia]

I say Blade -- Lupus is winning this challenge now, so we need to take them down.

[Alan T]

Here are the scores currently:

St.cronin - 2
Ardent - 1
Schmidty - 1
Jonathan - 1
Alan - 2

Oz - 3
Lupus - 5
Helsing - 2
Howard - 2

So to block howard doesnt do much for us right now. Bottom 2 teams go to tribal council. We have to aim for lupus or Oz. thats likely cronin or blade this time.
