...just for the record.

Epi, perhaps it would be wise to arrange a few extra folk from outside the game that you can offload riddle work to at the appointed time. None of us can help, but I see no reason why you couldn't have a few respected colleagues ready to try their brain at it.

Mr. Gorilla man is probably going to be attempting to solve the riddle.

Mr. Host man, you said there's a timer for the riddle. Would you tell me how much time is allowed for that challenge?
The time begins when I send the puzzle at a preagreed time. The time ends when you send me back the answer.

Oh.

Looking at everything that isn't the riddle, I'm probably best suited for challenge 4.1.b. But I can do the riddle if that's what people want. I've heard Mr. Faraday man is good with riddles.

I wonder if they'll lynch DH if they lose.

Anyway: I want to get something clear before we move on. I want to be on the same page as everyone, so I would like to ask some questions. There will likely be followup questions, depending on the answers.

Are we assuming that it is to our own personal advantage to keep everything about ourselves a secret?

Is it suspicious to observe someone deceiving us about their attributes? Is 'suspicion' even a thing in this game's concepts?

Well, at this point, I don't think it is a problem, we're a team until the point when...we aren't anymore, lol. And at that point I am not sure if it is not out of our hands. I think it would be wise, though, to, should we get temp night BTS with anyone on the other tribe, we not fill them in on our strengths, weaknesses, etc. For the forseeable future, it is us against them. I assume we will merge tribes at some point? Then things will re align. But if we want to win these challenges, we need to understand our own strengths and work with them.

That said, I don't have any strength or other kinds of bonuses. I do apparently have a higher hunger level, but no specific "strengths" outside of thirst, hunger, strength.

I'll do part 4, Level 2, Option A: Run up a slippery slide and pull yourself up.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 2:08 pm**

I'll go ahead with 4. Lateral Ascension [Strength/Willpower] *4 players* Option B) Hoist one player up, who will then lift the other players up onto the next level.

The four players performing in leg 4 are notsawyer, Long Con, Sorsha and Epi.

Currently 1/4 have chosen to do Part 1, Option A. This needs 3 more confirmations.
Currently 2/4 have chosen to do Part 2, Option A
Currently 1/4 has chosen to do Part 2, Option B.

You all must agree on which option you will take. You all are completing both parts of this leg.

NUMBER 3 WATER PUZZLE

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 3:57 pm**

It sounds like more of a logic exercise, which I'm better at than straight riddles.

But you seemed to imply you had nimbleness here:

S~V~S wrote:OK, I relooked at my role, and I don't feel that feats of strength are for me, and I am bad at riddles. So I can do one or two.

I think I am fairly nimble, so I can volunteer to do the first thing, shimmying up the post and untying the bags of balls...

So, should I be suspicious of you? Are we going to somehow have the advantage over our competitors if we can say "Hey, I know she's got no Strength bonus, and Jimmy there has no Willpower, let's use this..."?

And furthermore, there's a lot of information in my role PM. Like, character traits, hobbies, and more. And without giving anything away that I assume you all don't know already: the second line inside the spoiler tag is something that I don't get at all, but I'm pretty sure it's something I don't want to be sharing publicly, due to its very nature. But I don't know why I have this information.

I even have another player who is my enemy, in a way.

Does everyone prefer to just not talk about any of this?

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:14 pm**

No by nimble I meant that I was small. My person is not a large person.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:19 pm**

And I have character traits too, but at this stage my main concern is winning winning winning these challenges. I don't think any of that would help. My hunger is 15, and that is the only "bonus" I have.

The fewer times we have to lynch in our tribe, the better my odds as an individual are. So I think we need to be forthright about our strengths, both as actual people (like for instance, based on what Google told me about my role, I bet that person can solve riddles really well, but I can't, so *pointless*) and through what strengths we have assigned as bonuses, if any. So if we have a food crisis, I will likely last longer if that is something that comes into play at a later time.

So do we need 4 people doing each option?

For my part in Part 2, I choose Option B

No, I believe it's one person for each leg. You misunderstand. Or I do.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:39 pm**

I shouldn't have said 'leg'. The whole section 4 is a leg, a leg with four parts. I think we all had it right but Sorsha, who chose one already chosen.

I'll switch to Leg 4, level 1, Option B) Hoist one player up, who will then lift the other players up onto the next level.

Okay, I reread it, and I don't get it.

Maybe you should write about it in your diary.

Also, oops!

Also also... do we have to agree on level 1 and level 2 paths as a foursome?

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:45 pm**

Like... "Sorsha, Epi, LC, and notsawyer all worked together on level 1, option B... and then finished level 2, option A together... finished in record time!"

That's why I asked.

Scotty: If we each need to complete only one option, then I will stick with my original. If not, I will go with both of the ones I named.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:51 pm**

It is at times like this that I miss the RM chatbox. In the Survivor game there, Juliets and I kept calling people into the thread in the chatbox, lol.

So once you guys get it straight, I assume sig, Quin & MP will be assigned to throw more balls and climb the pole if they don't make their own choices?

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:56 pm**

I think we all have to say the same exact option, that's how I understood it anyway

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:59 pm**

Or do I have to switch to part 1 option b?

Then each one of us will have a different one?

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 5:09 pm**

4. Lateral Ascension [Strength/Willpower] *4 players*
Four players on each tribe must laterally traverse two levels to get to the top and hoist their tribe flag. Each level has 2 options that will either test Willpower or Strength. All 4 players must decide and commit to the same option in the thread.

Long Con wrote:Okay, I reread it, and I don't get it.

This is the correct interpretation of my apparently awful syntax.

You all must do the same 2 options together, whether that be A or B on both levels. One person can't do an option by themself, because that's inherently impossible.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 5:31 pm**

I think we should do 1b and 2a. What do y'all think?

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 5:45 pm**

Fine with me

I'll do part 1 option b and part 2 option a

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 5:48 pm**

And...erm, what am I doing?

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 6:55 pm**

hello my friend. I'm going to shoot some balls. If I throw five heavy balls and i get the 8th ball on the 2nd try, i imagine i won't have to throw the last three, right?

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:38 pm**

DF gingerly walked up to the Dias to work on the water puzzle. After staring intently at the various containers of water and a nice nap, he finally finished the puzzle! LEG 3 COMPLETED.

Currently on leg 4, i have noted that LC and Sorsha are working towards a Level 1 Option B and a Level 2 Option A.
Notsawyer wants to go the Level 1 Option A and both he and Epi want to go the Level 2 Option B route.

I need a concensus from all 4 to go the same route or else I am picking for you.

Quin wrote:hello my friend. I'm going to shoot some balls. If I throw five heavy balls and i get the 8th ball on the 2nd try, i imagine i won't have to throw the last three, right?

If you choose to throw balls, please hold your choice of ball and how many you would like to throw before I respond.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:42 pm**

Now that I have completed my share, I will continue to wade.

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:46 pm**

Throw three large balls
Only one ball was needed, as Quin would learn. He threw 2 more just to make sure, but that was the 8th hoop cleared!! LEG 2 is FINISHED

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:47 pm**

Yay DF!!!

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:47 pm**

Epignosis wrote:And...erm, what am I doing?

Ideally, I would like to see you agree to do Part 1 Option B, and Part 2 Option A, with the rest of us. We need consensus. If you need to change our minds, convince us. If you are indifferent, let's agree!

Posted: **Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:48 pm**

That's probably a bad choice since I just realised it only took one second per lihght ball and no energy, plus we only needed one

Yes, you should have thrown 5 light balls... or 50000 light balls, or something.
