That's basically how people get eliminated, yeah. The only one I was on the fence about was Idiot's run-on sentence, but then he wrote a two-sentence post in his next submission so that made it easy.

The validity of the way in which he used exclusive is (I agree with you - incorrect) but also slightly up for interpretation. The comma thing is a complete and total grammar mistake in all ways. You cannot write two sentences and stick a comma in the middle.

Well I mean I'm not going to get super pedantic about the first one because that's just trouble. The thing you're talking about I don't rally understand but also I haven't really been educated as much so I'll assume you're right there.

Congrats on the win!

Thank you. I am sad that this went down so fast and hard. There was finally a challenge that was in my wheelhouse, and I wasn't going to mess it up for anything. I feel weird because of the way it went down. I can't even do like my normal :dance:

I feel bad about the education thing. That REALLY was two sentences mashed up with a comma.

Also, anything I said during the actual writing was kind of just the best things I could think of, and don't necessarily reflect on reality. Just FYI y'all.

For the record, I have never, and will never own anything by Versace :lol:

I DID go in their store once (my office building used to be connected to a very high-end mall - Tysons II, if you live around here) and it was the only place to get lunch, so while I was getting lunch one day, I went in and looked around. The scarves were like $500 bucks, and all the clothes looked BUTT-UGLY and cheap BTW. but the worst part was the employees IMMEDIATELY shunning me very publicly and refusing to even look at me... like my size 8 completely normal person body was some kind of direct offense. :laffo: gently caress way too skinny rich people. :dance:

Holy Moley it is thunderstoming out like crazy right now. I got the hard thunder again - the kind that shakes the house. Weird. Anyways, I'm going to find something to eat and then probably take a nap, and also drink my beers, none of that in any particular order. See y'all at final tribal council. (holy crap!)

Those were both so cool. Anonymous, you are one interesting dude. Every time I thought the mask was coming off, there was another layer underneath lol. It looked like those suckers just wouldn't go down.

I also have to give props to MMM who is continually adorable during pretty much every endeavor. Also props for being normal on camera in one take. I made that backyard video like 10 times and the instant the camera was on me I immediately lost all higher brain functions. :lol:

I think tomorrow I will ms paint the four of us, but unfortunately I don't have any idea what Imgay actually looks like, so unless he says otherwise, he's a super-swole 6 foot black dude. Gotta counteract the skinny white people factor, and just pick something :lol:

An adjustment to 9:00PM seems to be acceptable, and it's only a slight adjustment. So, let it be known...

Tribal Council tonight starts at 9:00 PM. We'll end the voting at 10pm or when I have received all of the votes.

Fast Luck
Feb 2, 1988

Welcome once again to Tribal Council. For the final time, the person with the most votes here tonight will be eliminated from the game, and will take a seat on the jury. The three surviving players will have a date at Final Tribal Council.



During Tribal Council, you will NOT be permitted any outside communication with each other. You may only speak within the confines of the thread. We’re here tonight to have a conversation that will help you decide who you want to vote out of this game.

Similarly, if you are not involved in this Tribal Council, I ask you not to post in the thread during this time.

As usual, I am going to begin with some questions. They could be directed specifically to you, or they could be questions for everyone. I want you to answer the questions that apply to you. I may ask a follow-up question or two. In addition to answering my questions, if you are at Tribal, you are free to communicate, in thread, with each other as much as you'd like.

When you have given me sufficient responses, I will place a ✓ next to your name below, indicating you are approved to send me your vote. You may send your vote any time from that point until Tribal Council closes at 9:30PM. There may be no need to wait until then, or you may want to see what else happens in Tribal before submitting. Once I have received all votes, or once we hit the deadline, I will begin posting the results. If you do not submit a valid vote, your vote will be counted against yourself.

So, let’s get to it.

AnAnonymousIdiot, imgay, MMM... One of you will be going home tonight. You cannot vote for DoggPickle, who won immunity in the Endurance Posting challenge.

Question for AnAnonymousIdiot, imgay, MMM
DoggPickle has immunity tonight, which means she holds a lot of the sway in this vote. Has she discussed her plans with you?

Question DoggPickle
What is it like being in this position? Do you like holding this power?

Question for MMM
This is your first time not either having the immunity necklace or an idol since there were nine people in this game. Are you feeling exposed?

Question for all
With four players left, a 2-2 tie is possible in this vote. Has that come up at all?

Question DoggPickle

I actually, in some ways, I think I might have been better off NOT winning this immunity. As always I could be completely wrong and have no idea what the heck is happening, but I don't think I would have been on the chopping block. It is REALLY REALLY NICE though, to know that I have some ability to screw up tonight and still be here.

Question for all

Yeah, I've asked a couple people what an internet survivor fire-making challenge actually is but they didn't know. Or chose not to tell me? I don't know. :lol:

I can't really say I know who's going to do what. I've tried to say at least a hi to different people but because of my situation I know most people aren't going to go in depth with strategy with me. I am, uh, warily optimistic in this tribal.

I think she would have people seek her out as her vote matters while we Three Great Clans duke it out for the whole Kanto.We have fought on the plains of Kawanakajima, on the coasts of the southern seas, played many a game of Cards Against Humanity, and now we must turn to one individual that can take us to Kyoto; that is the position Dogg Pickle has found herself in. It would hinge on who has she promised her loyalty among us three. Barring that I had consulted the I Ching and found exciting but odd readings; in particular the fourth line of hexagram 24 going to hexagram 51. I feel a madness fed by a boldness born from archaic ideas, and I can hardly wait to see how this plays out.

I had went between the two eras as I was unsure which situation was being reflected at the point of the merge; while both of them were about a massive civil war over a decentralized force, one had a clear contender while the other did not. I had seen at the start what I had thought to be a powerful alliance that could roll across the tribe without resistance. At this point though it is hard to see who is ahead of whom at this point, and much of my trip into allegory has been trying to work through my own confusion; to find context to the events in this game.
