You guys were literally a move away from surviving this challenge. How much frustration sets in from being so close and still failing?

A whole lot of frustration, personally. Possibly more despair. Our strategy was strong but the addition of....it doesn't matter. Losing by luck is still losing, so yeah. Not super happy in the tribe tonight.

You guys are going to be down to four people after this Tribal. It becomes almost imperative that you cannot lose anymore. What needs to happen at Tribal Council to make sure it doesn't happen again?

Our losses have honestly been so arbitrary that I doubt anything we can do can ensure victory.

I think we were the first, by several turns, to get the enemy down to just one sub, so it was definitely frustrating. There's not much you can do at that point though except look at the board and pick mostly at random. We did almost hit it, but I think we were still a few rounds away from nailing the actual location. We enjoyed a brief moment of suspense when we saw our last sub had been hit, but when we'd entered our shots first, so we were anxiously awaiting the result... which turned out to be bad, and here we are.

Well, it's not as if it was anyone's fault we didn't hit that last sub, that was just the luck of the draw. I'm not sure we have a 'weakest member' that we can remove to help out our odds. We just need to keep playing and hope we fare better next time out there. Obviously we want to win next time, because any time we lose one of us has to be voted out and our position will be weaker going into the merge.

Players, it is now time to vote. Using the template above, write down on the parchment and PM to me who on your tribe you wish to vote out. Do not post who you are voting. Unless you are answering questions, you cannot post in this thread until after the votes are revealed. You have until 12:00AM tonight to cast your votes.

For Bowmore, Dhaes

A few of you seem to know eachother from playing Mafia and other games together. Does this naturally cause you guys to potentially form an alliance, or would you be wary of each other knowing how sneaky and deceptive you all can be?A bit of both I'd say. I'm more wary of the players I don't know to be honest - as the saying going "knowledge is power"

BUT I know how often what you know can be flipped on its head and come back to bite you.

bromore pretty much hit the nail on the head with the whole "more wary of players I don't know", but honestly, I'm not all that worried. It is just fun playing a game with these guys again, and the two new faces were both lots of fun to scheme with to try to win battleship. I'd say that was a spiritual victory anyway, gently caress those 1 hit subs, those are luck.

Both games went down to a crap shoot, with the roshambo it didn't help that my turn was while I was at work. I dunno, I don't think anyone here has really been a fuckup on anyone's part.

It's time to reveal the votes. After the votes are read, the player with the highest number of votes cast against them will be the next player eliminated. If anyone has the Hidden Immunity Idol, and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.

It's time for you to go.




I'll see everyone here for tomorrow's Tribal Immunity challenge at 6:00 PM. Only four people from each tribe will be participating. It's going to be a fun one, I guarantee it.

Sorry for the tribal council, Hurf. Maybe next time you'll have a battleship strategy that isn't "emulate a blind man throwing darts"

I'm sorry, that was uncalled for, the blind man would have had more accuracy :smuggo:

Why are you sending terrorists toward me? Are you that afraid of De that you must take me out by any means?

No matter, if their aim with a gun is anything like your aim in battleship, I'll probably be able to complete the challenge while they are shooting at me without worry.

Hey guys, here are the details for the challenge you will be playing in tonight. It's an Awful Survivor staple, the QUOTATION HELL CHALLENGE.

In this challenge, you will be supplied with a large body of text. Your goal is for your tribe to one by one, quote and add lines from the text to recreate it in this thread. You must quote your other tribemates posts, adding one line from the original body, repeating this process until the entire thing has been posted. You will do this like so. Imagine this is the body of text you'd be working with

John Cena suuuuucks
He really suuuuucks
John Cena suuuuucks
He's just the woooooorst

The way this would start out, Player One would simply just post the first line, no quotes needed.

Player One's Post:
John Cena suuuuucks


Player two would then quote that line, repeat it, and then add the next line, like so

Player Two's Post:

Player 1 posted:

John Cena suuuuucks
John Cena suuuuucks
He really suuuuucks


Player Three would then quote THAT, add the next appropriate line, and this process repeats until the entire body has been completely quoted. Like so:

Player Three's Post:

Player Two posted:

John Cena suuuuucks
He really suuuuucks
John Cena suuuuucks
He really suuuuucks
John Cena suuuuucks

You guys get the picture. When you post, you must be posting only the quoted text and nothing else. If you leave something out of your post or add something in by accident that isn't part of the original body of text, you must start over. If a member of your tribe posts consecutively, you must start over. If the chain is broken and the same length of text has been posted, you must start over. If a member of your tribe posts out of turn, you must start over. There will be no spectator posts in this challenge.

In this challenge, only up to four people are playing per tribe. De and Durf, you guys need to sit someone out. De, as part of your reward, you'll be allowed to pick one of Durf's people to sit out for this challenge. You guys can make your picks when the challenge is set to begin. Each player will be required to post at least six times in this challenge. A player cannot post consecutively for their tribe. This is all about coordination. The body of text you will be working with will be supplied when the challenge begins. Are there any questions?
