I don't consider it meta-gaming. As I said before if asked I'd likely have given permission. Anyhow now that I've broken my own request I ask that you all do a better job than me of abiding by it.

Quick clarification:
The DQs still count towards the everyone has to participate requirement. So GE, path, Marathoner all are fine towards that requirement.

I believe only RA has not participated at all at this point.

[Alan T]

So to bring things back to an in game mood... Someone from Oz want to explain the "Lets pile all of our votes on Alan T" strategy? It doesn't seem to be working too well for the team right now.

I voted for Jonathan E.

[Barkeep49]

Oh and SD has turned on HTML for us now so feel free to use either <> or []

[Tyrith]

For the record, I am going to be staying in the game if we can all agree to play nice

If that's the case, then I'm out.

Its fine, I'm a big boy and am used to getting piled on early in a game. Just found it interesting that I have gotten all of my votes (an attempted but failed votes) from one team. Curious why is all Seems most of the other fore-runners (Swaggs, you, Jonathan) have had them spread out from multiple teams with a more "win the game from a team perspective"

Just was wondering if there was some strategy to it, or you all just really don't like me

[Tyrith]

Glad to see that you're in a humorous mood JE :P

Barkeep has pretty much said that the result of the vote will not be a lynch but will be "unpleasant" for the person. I've no idea what that means, but I'm not sweating it at all.

Also, why we have voted for who we voted should be perfectly obvious if you study carefully the rules BK posted this morning.

Always am. You should have seen some of my poems yesterday that didn't make it through our rigorous selection process.

I guess thats what I am curious about. It hasn't seem overly obvious to me but its cool Like I said, I can take the heat, it just seemed weird to me that you all are so certain about my guilt

As an example, I can easily see what the Howard tribe has been doing each turn, and it seemed to me like logical choices. I guess its just a different strategy is all

Yeah, we better delete that one before the game ends and the threads are opened to everyone.

[Tyrith]

I'm just sad that I didn't get to try to kill ntn on day 1 this game :P

[ntndeacon]

don't worry Tyrith. There is always next game.

[Schmidty]

I really don't feel like weeding through all of the girly, whiney drama, so can someone tell me if the immunity challenge is in fact still going, and if so, what it is?

It's over and Howard won! Yea us!

Its a timed vote contest. My best suggestion would be to check in to your team thread where people can tell you what the current team strategy is. The next deadline is really soon, so you probably should see what your team's game plan is with them.

[Mr. Wednesday]

VOTE Blade6119

[Tyrith]

Well, haven't seen this happen all day.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Ummm

[ntndeacon]

vote Swaggs

[Mr. Wednesday]

Weird, I wasn't expecting that to happen, particularly not after the 5 pm vote.

[Alan T]

lol, I double checked the rules to make sure I didnt have the wrong deadline.

[ntndeacon]

for some reason my quick reply got hung up. so maybe others did as well

[Barkeep49]

I delayed making dinner so I could get another scoreboard update in. Going to wait about 2 more minutes before I go and start dinner.

[st.cronin]

VOTE SWAGGS

[Jonathan Ezarik]

I was just kidding about the challenge being over.

[st.cronin]

I really have no idea what's going on with this challenge.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Has Lupus decided that they're too good to play with the rest of us?

Lupus only has 4 members, and cannot reach all the time periods like some of the larger teams

[Lathum]

WOW, just caught up and I am gonna keep my comments to myself.

All I can say is now it feels like werewolf.

[Lathum]

BK, this may be posted somewhere but what if there is a tie?

[Barkeep49]

For this particular challenge tie breaker is:
Most 1st place finishes
Most 2nd place finishes
Coin flip

[Barkeep49]

Oh and if two teams tie for first both will be immune from wolves

Helsing, thoughts on creating a tie for double benefits?

[Tyrith]

Tie might be difficult to accomplish, but if you can come up with a reasonable plan I have no objections to the thought.

[Alan T]

I wouldn't count Howard out of things just yet. They've been catching up pretty quickly after a couple of early mistakes.

They would have to basically win both of the final two challenges, or have both of our groups just fall apart. I guess well re-evaluate things after the next deadline

[Lathum]

Blade, that is interesting

my thought exactly.

[Blade6119]

And i think its rather interesting, how swaggs was chosen to basically be the victim today after lupus won yesterday and has been leading all day today. Very interesting that those players, and one team in particular, is attacking us.
