Cool. Our very own thread.

Wow. Spacious. Howard sucks!

Boy, did we win the right challenge. I think both of us were going to be the first ones booted from our new tribes since we the last of Howard, but having the ability to keep in touch with someone on the other side should help us stick around for a while. Hopefully.

path12 · 02-12-2007, 10:09 PM

Good point, I hadn't thought of that -- when I first read that I was kind of like, "but why would they vote ME off?" It does help to be useful though.

path12 · 02-13-2007, 01:03 PM

Tough crowd. There's a faction in my new tribe that wants to vote off all the old Howard and Lupus members because of the wolf odds. I still think we got the wolf in either ntn or Marathoner.

I see the point, but man, nice welcome. I wish we stayed together for one more challenge -- we could have done just as well in this one with just the two of us.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 01:52 PM

This seems like more of the old "Lupus and Howard should throw the challenge to save Oz" bullshit. I'm really sick of this.

Yeah, I have no motivation to even participate in the conversation if it isn't going to mean shit. Frustrating when you know you are good to be just put in line for elimination. I understand the logic but it still sucks.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 02:37 PM

I guess we can use this thread to bitch about how unfair things are.

I understand the thinking behind the strategy, and if I was in Oz or Helsing, I would be advocating the same thing. But to sit here and know that I'm not a wolf and get voted out anyway sucks. If they think I'm a wolf, fine. Vote for me. If you think I'm a liability to the team, fine. Vote for me. But don't vote for me because my former tribe was Howard.

Is it too early to start drinking?

Never too early. You're eastern time right? You get to happy hour first, you bastard.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 02:54 PM

path12 · 02-13-2007, 02:58 PM

I don't know, but hi! Join a game!

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 03:00 PM

Do we want to try to influence today's challenge any way? Since the person's selection is going to be in our threads we could let each other know what the other person is doing. Maybe force a tie between the two tribes?

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 05:37 PM

I guess you don't want to, then. That's fine. I was just curious if you wanted to stick it to all those that have been calling for our demise.

path12 · 02-13-2007, 05:54 PM

Oops, I didn't see you had posted. I would be OK with that, but I'm probably second on the voting choices for my tribe, and if they see ties or anything between your and mine picks I'm likely to be first. I will say though that they are assuming that the old Oz members on your team are all throwing scissors.

Well, we have Ardent, so that probably tells you something.

I don't think the Oz guys have said what they are going to do, but I'd be surprised if they went with the old party line.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 05:59 PM

Do you want to know what KWhit and GE are throwing?

I didn't think they would. I'm up against GoldenEagle too so I had to throw rock so the big kids wouldn't pick on me. I don't like this new team crap.

path12 · 02-13-2007, 06:14 PM

ITC's in Helsing's thread for a couple minutes now.

path12 · 02-13-2007, 06:20 PM

So I tried to tell them that Oz may not be going for the plan and for a response got a) well path, since you're likely to get voted out you got a better idea? and b) why don't we just stick with the plan and see what happens.

I'm so ready to be over with this game. The condescention (sp?) is really old now.

path12 · 02-13-2007, 06:22 PM

Heh. SnDvls just outed our conversation. Hope that doesn't get you in trouble.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 07:54 PM

It's too bad BK isn't going to let those voted out to come back at the end of the game to decide who wins like in real Survivor (assuming they still do this). I would love to deny the win to those that have been pushing against the small tribes all game.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 10:52 PM

I've just got to come here and yell for a bit, so don't mind me path.

THIS IS FUCKING SURVIVOR! WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED IN OUR TRIBAL THREAD HOW THIS ISN'T YOUR NORMAL WW GAME! RA CLAIMED THAT THE WOLVES COULD ONLY WIN BY BEING THE LAST PLAYER STANDING AT THE END OF THE GAME! THERE HAVE BEEN NO NIGHT KILLS! DOESN'T THIS ALL STRIKE YOU AS ODD?! PLAY THE GAME LIKE SURVIVOR AND GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR COLLECTIVE ASSES! SON OF A BITCH!!!

Whew. I feel a little better. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 10:57 PM

Not out of my system yet.

CRONIN IS FUCKING PLAYING ALL OF YOU SUCKERS! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE GOAL IS TO HAVE AS MANY OZ MEMBERS AS POSSIBLE IN THE FINAL TRIBE? WHY ARE YOU ALL SO BLIND TO THIS? SHIT!!!

path12 · 02-13-2007, 11:13 PM

That cracked me up. The only good thing about this game so far has been getting to know you as a teammate.

Word. Barkeep, can we?

Barkeep49 · 02-13-2007, 11:15 PM

Can you what?

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-13-2007, 11:16 PM

Thanks. I appreciate that. I've enjoyed working with you, too. And that's saying a lot, because after the stunt you pulled in the Apocalypse game, I wanted to give you my first day vote for life.

There will be a jury at some point, yes.

Heh. I have to say that was one of my very favorite and fun WW moments ever. Though I completely understand how others might not have had the same reaction.

Please let us come back. The weakest tribes all game get to come back and decide who wins? That is perfect justice.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 10:28 AM

Things are really interesting now that the seer is gone. In our thread, Pass is going crazy trying to come up with as many words as he can for the challenge. I think he's afraid that his head might be on the block since it was probably either him or Gramm that was scanned last night.

path12 · 02-14-2007, 11:21 AM

Does it really look like they would vote off Pass or Gramm before KWhit, Anxiety or you? What's the basis of the suspicion of them?

I know that our list is me and Swaggs in some order. I think I'm gonna have to put some time in this challenge and try to generally seem valuable.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 11:26 AM

I don't know if they'll be voted off or not, but BK's write-up hints at a wolf being scanned last night. And if Gramm and Pass were the top two to be scanned, it looks bad for them. Throw in that it looks like there is a converted wolf in the old Oz tribe and I think everyone is now fair game.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 11:35 AM

ITC's posts remind me a lot of jb.

path12 · 02-14-2007, 11:57 AM

Can people get voted off for spelling?

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 03:10 PM

Have you all decided who the two from our tribe will be voted off if you guys win?

path12 · 02-14-2007, 03:29 PM

Right now Alan is pushing for KWhit and Anxiety. Lathum is supicious of Pass and would like to toss a Oz member in there but I think Alan will carry it.

path12 · 02-14-2007, 03:30 PM

How about you guys?

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 03:43 PM

We haven't talked about it much (too busy arguing over who gets voted off tonight), but the only recommendation so far was (sad to say) you and Swaggs. I'm trying to get cronin thrown into the mix, because I think he's a converted wolf. I think once we figure out who is going to be voted off, we'll have a better idea of who we'll pick from your tribe.

path12 · 02-14-2007, 03:43 PM

And what's the highest total you guys have? Ours is 105 right now.

How's your vote looking? Do you feel fairly safe?

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 03:44 PM

I don't know ours. We keep switching words around, AE has said that he'll win the challenge on his own, etc. So, there's no telling what we have.

path12 · 02-14-2007, 03:46 PM

AE is a trip.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 03:50 PM

To start the day, KWhit proposed that Anxiety and I work together to vote out someone from Oz. He asked for someone else to join us. AE responded right away by coming out and saying that he was going to vote for me. I, of course, respond by coming out against him.

After a couple of hours, Anxiety logs on and asks why don't we go after ITC. I tell him that's fine with me, since he's actually who I wanted to vote for before AE attacked me. This put ITC heavily under the gun. He wilted under the combined questioning of Anxiety, KWhit, Pass (or Gramm, I don't recall), and myself. Long story short, I've convinced ITC that I'm good now and he agrees with me that there is a converted wolf in Oz. AE also said that he wasn't going to vote for me.

After all this, I feel pretty secure right now, but I have no idea who is going to be ousted now, and with the votes being a secret, I'm still worried that AE and ITC will vote me out.

path12 · 02-14-2007, 03:56 PM

Interesting. A tough game to make your first, ITC seems over his head right now.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 03:57 PM

Hi there ITC!

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 04:07 PM

ITC hasn't admitted that he was in this thread. I wonder if I should call him on it.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-14-2007, 04:08 PM

Oh, and now Gramm is starting to push for you being picked.
