Tribal Council 8

Bundlepile Tribe, Welcome to Tribal Council. We're now merged, and Tribal Council goes from being bad for the tribe, to now bad for you on an individual basis now that the game has come down to an every man for themselves type game.

During Tribal Council, you are NOT allowed to communicate outside of the thread by any means. No PMing eachother, no communicating in external docs, all talking occurs inside this thread. You can talk outside of answering the questions, but it must all be contained in this thread while Tribal Council is going on.



As is tradition with Tribal Council, we have some questions, submitted by players not attending tonight and from those in the viewer's vista. You must answer the questions asked to you in this thread before you're allowed to cast a vote. I will open voting when everyone has answered their questions. Failure to cast a vote by the deadline (1:00 AM Tonight) will result in a vote cast for yourself.

QUESTIONS FOR TONIGHT'S TRIBAL COUNCIL:


Propaganda Machine, Majuju, Ice Phoenix, Byers: you all were obviously quite shocked by last tribal council. This is the first time since the shuffle that Original Durfs have been in the minority, how does it feel to be vulnerable?

Winson, you made a startling confession seconds before the last challenge. What prompted you to say what you did and how do you think it has affected your relationships with your fellow survivors?

Dhaes, Prop Machine, you both ended the auction with all of your money. What was your strategy in this challenge?

Majuju, Fast Luck, McEdger, you guys "won" some pretty awesome rewards in the Auction. Thoughts on these gifts?

Questions for everybody

Individual immunity was hidden after the challenge. How does not knowing affect your plans tonight?

We're getting to fairly low numbers and there has still been no hidden immunity idol played. Is it time to be concerned about who has one and how it'll be used?

Who's the scum, and why is it Winson_Paine?

lovely. Really lovely. I made a play the tribal before, and Winson's jump completely hosed me as it left me exposed and without an Alliance. It's literally the worst thing that could have happened for me last tribal.

I'm playing like I don't have immunity, so unless a loving magical glitter slug grants immunity, I'm on the block.

If you're playing multiple alliances, don't let someone know you're playing multiple alliances and not fill them in on what you're doing, or they might flip on you at the worst time imaginable (actually save this question for next week when it's 9).

I honestly never expected to make it this far. At this point... never trust a person fully unless you have to, keep a finger in the wind, and follow your gut on what will help you, your alliance and your goals the best.

It sucks, obviously. You try to scramble and either hope you can somehow form a new majority or at least end up not on the bottom. But this isn't the first time I felt this way. At this point all I can do is hope I'm not on the bottom.

quote:

It depends on your definition of hidden. I'm pretty sure only one of the items at auction wasn't revealed so it's pretty easy to figure out what's there.

Majuju, Fast Luck, McEdger, you guys "won" some pretty awesome rewards in the Auction. Thoughts on these gifts?
Well, I was having a lot of trouble putting in my bids before the other buyers, so my purchase was a great victory for me. I did it! It not being a game advantage is just how things work in covered auctions on Survivor. Bummed out, but I'll wear it like a badge of honor.

Individual immunity was hidden after the challenge. How does not knowing affect your plans tonight?
If you want to vote out someone whose item was sent by private message, you just need to have a back-up option in case they're revealed to have immunity. It's a wrinkle, but not one that can't be ironed out.

Hidden idols have become big talk lately. I think everyone in the game has the same idea of where both of them are right now. For the Andy-slayers, that missing idol is a major obstacle.

It sucks but I understand why people made the decisions they did. This is a game where one person is going to win, and ultimately people have to look out for themselves. That said I'm still in the game and anything can happen.

I only own two pairs of shoes so it's not a difficult choice. I hope I am chill enough for BYOB!

Well, it's going to be revealed at the time of voting, so at least it's not some kind of crazy idol math. It's easy enough to have an alternate choice.

Not exactly, but I was allied with some strong players early on and we had exceedingly good luck through the pre-merge phase. I have learned that betrayal is inevitable and it affects me poorly on a real-life level, though. :( correspondingly I've learned I'm maybe too into this game.

We're getting to fairly low numbers and there has still been no hidden immunity idol played. Is it time to be concerned about who has one and how it'll be used?

This is a thing that is flying around all over the place, to the point that it's pointless to consider it a factor.

My strategy was going to be just bet 500 on something and leave but then there was a stupid maximum of 50 rule and I had errands to run so I did those and didn't really care that much after I saw someone "win" a cat gif so I just left to go do those

What exactly do you mean by "obviously quite shocked?"

I've been vulnerable in every Tribal Council I've had to sit through. I went into this game knowing that unless you have immunity, you're vulnerable. Sure, tonight is nerve-wracking. So was last time, and the time before.

quote:

Dhaes, Prop Machine, you both ended the auction with all of your money. What was your strategy in this challenge?

Bid early and bid often. I had a few failed $500 bids. Frustrating as hell.

quote:

Individual immunity was hidden after the challenge. How does not knowing affect your plans tonight?

After what challenge? There was one idol pre-merge, and one idol post-merge, as per the OP. I have neither idol, and so I live in fear.

quote:

I never expected much, especially after the tribe swap. The only thing I can say I've learned is that my trust issues will probably require years of therapy.

quote:

We're getting to fairly low numbers and there has still been no hidden immunity idol played. Is it time to be concerned about who has one and how it'll be used?

As I already said, I live in perpetual fear of the idols. It's impossible to plan anything concretely at this stage, let alone anticipate any kind of idol move. There is simply going to be idol fear until both idols are used and gone and out of play, if we should even be so lucky.

Winson, you made a startling confession seconds before the last challenge. What prompted you to say what you did and how do you think it has affected your relationships with your fellow survivors?

Well, a few reasons. I sorta spelled it out above, but I figured when Durf got to six people the phone was gonna stop ringin' for ol' winnie. So when someone offered me a chance to jump ship, I took it. I figure they are also probably going to throw me into the blender sooner or later too, but at least they are nice enough to kiss me goodbye first, more or less. I said what I did because they pretty much had it figured out, and some of you may have noticed from Mafia games or whatever I am kind of poo poo at dissembling. Plus, and this is the true truth, I felt bad. I am not made for this game, I think.

Okay guys, it's now time to vote. Using the above template, fill out on the parchment who you wish to vote for. The person that receives the highest number of votes is the next person voted out of this game, losing their chance at the $75 grand prize.

There is to be no further posting or communication in or out of thread until the vote is revealed.
