Who will you flip a coin between?

It was more of a joke, I won't actually flip a coin. I just don't know yet

I don't know, y'all... I'm about to flip a coin or something lol. But I'm not voting for sorsha.

Phew, what a day... I'm not sick. That's very strange that two of you are. It can't be an ability- that ability has been eliminated and he could only do one person at a time anyway. There must be a gameplay aspect that we don't know about yet. I think my hunger is dropping though- I haven't had fishing luck. I hope as many of us get reward as possible cause being starving and sick out in the jungle of wherever we are ain't ideal. I can be a captain if we need another or I'm happy to hang back too

Well that's an interesting poll....

Golden wrote:I've been poisoned.

What?? I don't think anyone left has that ability... could it have been a random game thing?

Golden wrote:Well done Opt. The vote for you as a challenge beast was not misplaced lol.

Indeed.

I've gotten pretty lucky here. I'm sure it won't last lol

I just like playing games

You and me, quin!

If it's just the two of us, would you like to make this simple? How much energy do you have? I'd rather not exhaust my stats which I might want for a later challenge.

Haha I feel you... I have 19 energy with this bonus

I wonder if I believe you.

Yeah. I do.


*Does a flip off of the totem pole*

Thanks for the faith, man. Yeah I didn't participate in the sand digging challenge and got the letters from home and all so I'm not lying. For some reason I had a one time willpower bonus that I guess I've now exhausted in this challenge. This was definitely better than a fight to the death, thanks for being cool enough to propose it!

Sorry I'm running around a lot today and I'm really behind on the thread

I've got a willpower bonus too so we'll be well matched

It might have been me you're referring to- I personally didn't know at the time who would be voting DF on the INH night. It's what I was told a while back but I was only talking to you and quin that night so I assumed the people who we weren't in contact with had something worked out. I voted INH same as you and just hoped it would work out. I'm sorry if I implied something inaccurate about who was voting DF!

I think what really put a damper on DF and on the game was the negative questions in the last challenge. No ones fault, we didn't have control over that I received tribal votes too back when we were in two tribes but I know that that's just how it works sometimes. I really feel bad that people have been actually hurt by aspects of the game

So who's thinking about the challenge? I restored my energy with the letters from home so I'm feeling ready to play

S~V~S wrote:I just looked at a picture of one, what do you do with it? Is it like a bandana?

It's a bandana around your neck, you can wear it as a headband, you can wear it as an eye mask when you're sleeping on an airplane... I literally wear it as a tube top too. Also you just feel cool, ya know?

So sounds like I've got Lorab and Speed for btsc tomorrow?

Oh man, this challenge stirred some stuff up... I only did guesswork on what I thought the group would say and made that my vote as well because our own vote contributed to the majority. I don't believe the majority of the things I wrote- I was literally saying outloud things like "but no one is socially inept". I'm sorry lorab and Golden- it wasn't a malicious intent. I didn't expect to get so many answers right and be smashing plates so often.

Keeping us guessing, I guess...

Golden is much nicer than I am. I totally blame you.

And i'd like BTSC tomorrow. If I live that long.

Yeah for sure

How bout now

I don't know if Elo and DF already sent me in- Elo would you be cool doing tomorrow?

Speed it's been a while so I'd like to talk to you too soon as you're free!

Well this should be interesting! I'd like to meet DF finally if I can for btsc! And do some reconnecting too- Elo? Or speed?

speedchuck wrote:And when it comes to the tribal, it looks like OptOut... opted out.

Oh but I'll be there. Moral support, ya know

speedchuck wrote:TELL ME WHAT THE 8 LETTER WORDS WERE

The only one I found was "prisoner"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I guess only being able to find short words somehow worked out. This is a personal victory for me because I get so stressed out by timed boggle in real life lolol

Golden wrote:Elo and inh, up for btsc?

Sure.

Opt, you mentioned wanting to have BTSC with me tonight as well, so I'll pencil you in too.

Oh no sorry I have quin and svs tonight- I meant tomorrow!

Tomorrow night, of course. After that I'd love to meet DF too and reconnect with INH!

SVS and Quin- want to btsc? Haven't met either of you yet!

I'm sorry it didn't go well for everyone I think Scotty did his best, it was just a case of hindsight 20/20. Struggles of the internet. I'll help out with the shelter again since we lost some people

Does one person getting water bring enough back for everyone? I can move my vote somewhere now that I've got some energy

I think I've got lorab and Golden already tonight- talk tomorrow night??

Oh yeah to hell with that. We worked hard yesterday, dude... anyone else willing to take a crack at it this time? I need to nap soon

MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. Maybe I should have been getting all hardcore and only eating fish and rice in real life those donuts would taste so much sweeter! I ain't sleeping outside in this weather though... Ready to get our auction on!

Elohcin wrote:Shit stirring, manipulation, and asking to be voted off? I think I know who I'll be voting for tonight.

To be fair, the first two were the perception of LC not sawyer. The last one was sawyer (I haven't seen evidence of him being particularly manipulative, given his offer to be voted out turned out not to be an idol play).

Yes I don't think sawyer was intentionally shit stirring or manipulative at all, but he did ask to be voted out and give off an air of not caring about the game anymore which is why he'll probably get my vote tonight

Golden wrote:And I was waiting to see what would happen in the thread first but I'll just say what I'm thinking for now.

Sawyer asked to be voted out yesterday. He sort of waffled on it (it wasn't an MP situation), but he did offer to be voted for. He probably would have gotten his wish if we weren't worried it could be an idol play. I'm certainly open to ideas, and I'm open to sawyer saying this doesn't still stand as well, but for right now he's top of mind for me.

I'm thinking along the same lines as you, Golden. Sawyer openly said that life had gotten in the way of the game and he'd only be on this week after he drank his army buddies under the table. He was great in the challenge and I'm sure he's great to work with so nothing on him personally, but he seems like an obvious choice to me

LC was taken out with 5 out of 7 votes, actually. We let go of tribe alliances and made a group decision to take out a dangerous, deceptive player

Lots of big plays. Well, this is survivor! Anyway, we all deserve a huge congrats because we made it to the merge!

DFaraday wrote:I'm a little weirded out that everyone is voting for Home. Did I miss something?

Definitely a survivor thing. It didn't say "shelter" or I might have voted differently but I think home is the least imprtant for survival. Probably wouldn't be my real life choice

Totally thought that poll said MOST important, not least important... I can read, I swear

I'll help out building the shelter since I doubt it'll get done with less than three. Hopefully we get a good, solid home base up!

Unless anyone is opposed, I have named our chicken Doodle. May she roam happy and free!
