Survivor: New Helsing Tribal Thread

[Alan T]

Ugh, the next ones are a bit tougher. Am on my conf call now, I skipped down to #6 right now which is short also to try to figure out.

[Swaggs]

Geez... I figured out the first one at a glance and am stuck on the rest of them.

Thats where I am right now too. The first one I got because it starts with out unscrambled.. it makes the rest easier to figure..

I feel like I need tom hanks for the davinci code for this.

I was thinking the exact same thing about the Davinci Code.

Do you think the "L" is in upper-case purposely on #8?

I bet it was a slip up and might be the start of the phrase.

[Alan T]

still no luck with the other ones. I'm stepping away for a bit for some lunch and to clear my head. will focus on these puzzles some more when I get back in a bit.

[path12]

I've spent an hour catching up, I have to do some actual work now. I will work on these a bit later.

[SnDvls]

these are hard that is for sure

[Alan T]

These would be easier if there were categories like wheel of fortune or something... So I knew what exactly I was looking for...

Some of these are so long, the letter combinations create so many possible words my head just spins.

I've resorted to taking common phrases and matching it against each sentence to see if it could be a match now.. I'm pathetic!

[SnDvls]

wow that's a lot of info/drama in the common thread.

I would love to say that thread was my excuse for not solving more of these yet, but these are just tough. I've gone through thinking of common phrases to see if they fit:

Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Let he who hath sin toss the first stone
Let sleeping dogs lie


I've tried phrases I remembered from writings or stories:

Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war


I've started working on survivor phrases such as:

The tribe has spoken

Just no luck,

[Lathum]

I just caught up. Those letters are making me crosseyed

[Lathum]

1. Survivor
2. Good advice for this game
3. FOFC Moderator
4. Famous Threads
5. Famous quotes
6. Tourism
7. FOF Survivor
8. Cereal
9. My thoughts
10. US Presidents

I will give how many words are in each phrase around 5:30 as a further hint.

So, what is Lathum doing here?

I don't get why you can't just help us?

He is quoting new stuff barkeep just said in the main thread.

[Swaggs]

well, 6 is what happens in vegas...

[Swaggs]

8 sounds like something with Lucky Charms?

[Swaggs]

Should I send in the Vegas one or can someone get it?

I'm not sure of all the rules here.

[Lathum]

I have this for 8 so far

cheerios

lucky charms

Sorry, had just gotten on and I didn't realize where you got those clues.

I thought you just had some sort of insider knowledge.

Send in the vegas one if it matches up right.

[Swaggs]

#6 is sent.

"What Happens in Vegas Stays In Vegas"

[Alan T]

teerh left over in that... any fits?

[Alan T]

Looks like "milk" may be in there, too...?

[Alan T]

could be lucky charms, there magically delicious..


but it should be they're

[Alan T]

see my post.. i dont think cheerios is in it.. I think lucky charms is right

[Lathum]

there

[Swaggs]

There are a lot of c's in the Lucky Charms one...

I thought it could be something like, "You will never get your hands on my Lucky Charms" or something like that... but I'm not sure where those c's fit in.

[Swaggs]

Also... in #4, there is a letter x. I have to think that is a Maximum Football one?

I'll do a quick search.

[Alan T]

Lucky Charms - they're magically delicious...

but that doesn't work.. it works if they're is mispelled

Lucky Charms - there magically delicious...

Should we check with barkeep to see if it was a mistake on his part?

[Swaggs]

I think so.

We need to get as many as we can, as quickly as we can.

I sent him a question PM asking him if we can ask if its mispelled or if we have to just take the chance and submit it. I told him we had:

Lucky charms - there magically delicious


which fits fine, but it should be they're not there. I'll see what he says.

[Swaggs]

How about something with the "White House" in #10?

i've been working on #10.. I tried running through alot of the famous Presidental phrases I could think of:

Ask not what your country can do for you...

A date which will live in infamy...

The only thing we have to fear....

etc... But no luck so far.

[Alan T]

Just sent my vote in for tribal council by the way. Its obvious who I voted for of course. Any interest in stating who you voted for when you send in the vote to help keep a voting track record? I promise no hard feelings for votes my way if you vote me.

If I or St.cronin end up a wolf, it could buy you more trust if we know before the fact/result. (not sure if we'll have a way to verify if someone is a wolf or not, but we never know what future challenges my bring)

[Swaggs]

I'm out until after 8:00 PM EST for work.

Good luck guys...

[Alan T]

I'll take that as a no then

The main reason I ask, is currently I can see us end in a 3-3 tie

I can picture Path, Swaggs and St.cronin voting for me and Lathum, Sndvls and myself voting for St.cronin. I just want some accountability for in case some reward challenge down the road lets you find out the allegiance of dead people is all

I wonder what happens in case of a tie though.

[SnDvls]

I took #10 as being names of Presidents

[SnDvls]

dola- I got not prob with announcing my vote and I said where it was going in the original question thread.

[Lathum]

I voted cronin

[SnDvls]

I see now they are all phrases

[path12]

I am planning to vote Cronin mainly because it sounds like he's going to have less time on his hands.

Just a note, thinking about this more.. with Mr.W being killed last night, it seems pretty clear someone wants me dead badly. Being put up for this vote, having Mr.W night killed to remove the helsing majority from this tribe. I've been debating if this tells me anything more about Cronin, but decided it doesn't. I think Cronin even if he lives here will be the #1 suspect for an Oz conversion kill (even if I think it just as likely that ardent might have been that person). I think Mr.W's death does spell volumes for what the wolves think of me though.

[path12]

I've only been able to spend about 15 minutes on this challenge so far, but man, this is tough. In number 4, I can make out Maximum football, but then I'm wondering what the other letters are, not Daivd Winter or anything like that. I'm thinking it may be another huge thread title? Any ideas as to what that might be? I tried to search just large threads but I need a keyword for it to work, so that wasn't much help.
