you may want to refrain from these comments. I have a feeling the tribe names will come up in a challage

I think we can just give our reasons why we (well, you two

) made our decision, but remain vague about it.

What did you do?

Barkeep49 · 02-08-2007, 09:21 PM

There was a last minute SNAFU with one of the tribe's bid so results will be up a few minutes later than I'd like

Poli · 02-08-2007, 09:25 PM

In n Out of Lupus, didn't even get the window open, was aiming for Oz.

My bad.

Barkeep49 · 02-08-2007, 09:48 PM

It was interesting to see how different tribes approached this task. There was a last minute switch of bids by one of the tribes that had a large impact on the challenge. Let's take a look at the bids:

	Oz	Lupus	Helsing	Howard
A. Greater Werewolvia - 33		0
B. Middle Werewolvia - 14		2		3
C. Lesser Werewolvia - 20	4	3	6
D. Fleabit Cove - 11		2
E. Dogbonia - 10	3	2
F. Dog Ear - 12		2
G. Homidia - 15		2	4	4
H. Lupinia - 16		2	5	5
I. Garouvia - 25		2	7	3
J. North Canis - 17		2
K. LakeWolfsbane - 18		2
L. South Canis - 29	13	0
M. Lower Fang - 23		3	7	6
N. Upper Fang -21	5	3		5
O. Alpovia - 13	4	2		3

That means the tribes scored the following points:

Oz	Lupus	Helsing	Howard
10	11	20	14
29	12	7.5	7.5
11.5	17	8	8
13	18	25	11.5
		23

So in 3rd place is Lupus with 58
In 2nd place is Oz with 63.4
In 4th place, and heading back to a second tribal council, is Howard with 41
While in first place, with their second consecutive victory, and staying safe yet again, is Helsing with 83.5 points.

See you all again tomorrow.

GoldenEagle · 02-08-2007, 09:56 PM

Wow, so we could have won it Barkeep?

Raiders Army · 02-08-2007, 09:59 PM

Hmmm...was right that we needed at least 70 pts to win.

Depending on where you take the 1 point from, yes

ntndeacon · 02-08-2007, 10:04 PM

this is a suggestion to the victors. take it for what it is worth. It might be worth while to check how many wolves per tribe.

This is a very good suggestion. I now think there is a wolf on our team and on Helsing.

Yep, I agree. Our primary objective is to find out as much as we can about the wolves tonight and we have the manpower to do so.

I find it very interesting to contrast your mistaken bids in thread with what you ended up with. And how uncanny it was that we seemed to end up targeting many of the same areas.

Alan T · 02-08-2007, 10:42 PM

ugh. accidentally klicked on oz for a sec. backed out immediately so no one probably noticed. Sorry!

path12 · 02-08-2007, 11:23 PM

Passacaglia · 02-09-2007, 07:40 AM

Crazy that no one puts any points in Greater Werewolvia -- we all sure like to psych ourselves out!

KWhit · 02-09-2007, 07:52 AM

Barkeep,

Just wanted to let you know that I think you're doing a great job and running a fun game. I know some people were expressing that they weren't as into it because it's not as werewolfish, but just wanted to put my 2 cents out there saying that I'm having fun.

ntndeacon · 02-09-2007, 07:54 AM

I was surprised a little by the no votes on GW, but I guess we all figured there would be a massive vote there that would force our smaller vote off

Thanks. I really appreciate your saying that.

Poli · 02-09-2007, 08:20 AM

My bad Helsing!

I clicked on your thread by accident!

Barkeep49 · 02-09-2007, 08:31 AM

C'mon in everyone. You'll notice that Raiders and Blade were voted out at yesterday's tribal council.

Today's challenge is a little different. It's time to give back. In a moment I am going to list 5 wikipedia articles all about different sports text sims, or even the text sim page itself. All are rather sad examples compared to such good articles as the one on FM. Your job is as a tribe to chose one of the articles and to improve it. One of the articles is in such dire straights that it is being considered for deletion. Articles will be given on a First Come, First Serve basis, so once a tribe claims an article another tribe may not claim it. Since this is a more time intensive challenge, you have until Sunday at Noon to complete it. You may continue to work on it after that, but there is no guarantee that judges will see any changes after that time. After that time our panel of guest judges will rate you on:
Depth of Information
Clarity of Writing
Presentation/Organization

The titles you have to chose from are:
~~FOF~~ Taken by Oz
~~OOTP~~ Taken by Helsing
Text Sims
MF
Fast Break Basketball/Fast Break College Basketball (Page needs to be started)

This is both a reward and immunity challenge. The losing team will go to tribal council. Only one catch. The tribal council and their tribal thread for the day, will be accessible by the winning team and all voting will be done publicly. So the winning tribe should gain some real insight into how the losing team is operating. Not to mention the winning team is once again immune from wolf attack.

Survivor's ready? Go!

Poli · 02-09-2007, 08:33 AM

We'll take FOF for OZ.

Poli · 02-09-2007, 08:35 AM

No more blade, eh? Interesting.

Barkeep49 · 02-09-2007, 08:42 AM

A tribe may substitute a different game, with-in the theme, however such a choice would need to be approved by 11:30 eastern. EHM and FM/CM are complete enough pages that they would not be approved.

Tyrith · 02-09-2007, 08:48 AM

Tribe rosters need to be updated again, BK.

GoldenEagle · 02-09-2007, 08:56 AM

I feel sorry for the group that gets Maximum Football.

Passacaglia · 02-09-2007, 09:01 AM

Helsing will take OOTP.

SnDvls · 02-09-2007, 09:16 AM

Anyway, the team with more members should be allowed to win -- more questions!

Yes, but we did it in a way where we ran checks and balances against our own group (We know that there is just as much of a chance of a wolf being in helsing as any other team). So we're just waiting till everyone checks in so we can verify as best as possible that someone isnt feeding us bogus information.

In return though, its going to be equally as important if the other three tribes can provide us information about what happened in their tribal councils the nights they have had to vote out people.

In the process of hunting out wolves, knowing who voted where is going to be a crucial piece in trying to find them all. Would Lupus, Howard and Oz be willing to tell us who voted for whom in your councils? Otherwise we have no way to better wield this information.

I personally am fine with that. If my teammates are agreeable, I'd like to share what went down yesterday/last night.
