The Syndicate

Also, at least 2 of the people that fished today can rest tomorrow, and Golden and Eloh can fetch water. Problem = Solved.

I think I'm going to need to nap tomorrow, actually. I don't want my energy getting too low.

Wilgy - Bat to your head, who should get the votes tonight?

I'm happy to give my fish to whoever needs it. Just give me a holler

Who all's sick? Me, DH, Golden, Wilgy, and Elo?

Wilgy and I both got fish for ourselves, so we're good. I think it's a given that DH, Golden, and Elo should get the extra food due to their stat decrease, but that's just my thoughts. Open to anyone else's input.

DharmaHelper wrote:Wilgy - Bat to your head, who should get the votes tonight?

You don't need to put a bat to my head for that. It's easy that I will be voting LoRab tonight.

I'm not going to ask others to follow me in this vote, but I am still wishing to vote away antagonists. LoRab's concern was for the tribe, but the matter of how she handled asking me to read the thread was hostile. It actually motivated me to stop reading and do the opposite until Eloh asked, this I resumed my catch up and detail learning.

Simply put, that attitude toward one's own tribe does nothing but decrease motivation and hinder the team.

Linki - INH, I'm down for that unless someone states that thier food is lower than 5. I'll submit a PM now to give DH the fish unless otherwise noted by EoN.

I'm goimg to bed now. L8r g8rs. :^)

I'm going to be spending at least some of tomorrow with my Mom and family doing a craft that I've been planning as a surprise for her all week so I will miss out on some of the discussion.


I do want to stress a few things tonight before I depart.

- Whatever we decide, we decide as a tribe
- No bullshit
- No matter how the vote shakes out, we move forward afterwards together.

Well, you hadn't listened to anything before that, after mulitple times of people (including me) kindly pointing things out that you were mistaken about. I eventually became frustrated with a player repeatedly not following the conversation, not knowing how the game was played, and not doing what was best for the tribe. If that earns your vote, so be it.

As many have said, tribe unity is important. Rogue players, I believe, are dangerous. I have seen rogue tendencies from you a few times now.

That I've pointed them out seems to scare you into voting for me.

Also before I go to bed:

Not gonna lie, 90% of my excitement for a merge is because it opens to door to like 50 more Negan Gifs.

I actually had already given my input on this, not that long before you said something similar, but no one seemed to read it.

I believe Elo can feed herself. She can correct that assumption if I am wrong.

Also, gotta say, voting me for one moment, in one post, of expressing frustration during what is the start of a really stressful weekend, I really don't think is fair, but I get that it angered you--and that you're voting me because you're pissed off, not because it's a rational decision. Just like my post wasn't really rational. I apologize for being harsh in that post. I am sorry if I came off as mean spirited. It was not my intention.

And I do apologize.

If your anger outweighs everything else I've done in the game in your mind, so be it. If that's the case, I can't really change your mind, and I won't try.

I'm submitting my rock change now.

I'm curious how you feel about your trust for SVS in the future since she gave you a black rock?

Someone please feed me. The map gave me three energy back but I'm still poisoned.

It was more that you didn't acknowledge that there had been another idea proposed. Or that I had spoken.

"I think it's a given," implies that everyone thinks that. I clearly had a slightly different opinion. And you didn't acknowledge the parts of it that were exactly the same.

Alright, let's analyze this.

I was sharing my view, and my opinion on what me, Wilgy, and Opt should do with our extra fish.

I wasn't responding to you, DH, or anyone else. I was just offering up my views.

Also, if you had said something to the effect of "DH, Elo, and Golden should get the fish because they are sick," than yes, we'd be saying the same thing. Instead, you said that Golden, DH, Chuck, and maybe Elo should get the fish while declining to mention the sickness itself or really any reasoning at all.

And even if my opinion was exactly similar to yours, I still had the right to give it in the thread, as I'm one of the people with the fish that started this whole shebang in the first place.

I wasn't specifically snubbing you in particular either, Lorab, and I had read your post. I just chose to give my own POV without citing anyone else. It wasn't a directed snipe or me ignoring you. It was me speaking my mind.

You also seem to think your statement is both too similar and directly contradictory to mine. They both can't be true.

Also, do you feel like this conversation is constructive?

As long as you both agree I should get a fish

All right- how about I give my fish to golden, wilgy gives his to speed, and insert gives his to DH? Unless Elo speaks up and needs one. Who said what isn't really important as long as everyone gets fed

Here's some intel on the other tribe's energy scores:

Challenge One:
MP - "easily" [x]
SVS "Light balls" (No loss of energy)
Quin "Last ball" [heavy] 2 Energy (Possibly the same boost as Opt had)
DF - Puzzle (Whiffed)
Epi/LC/Sawyer/Sorsha - Unclear what they spent (total loss of 2 or 4 energy)

Challenge Two: [-3 for all participants]
LC ("Strongest")
SVS
Sorsha
DF (Stupefied? Did he miss another Challenge?)
Sorsha
NotSawyer

Totals:
SVS -3
LC -5 or -6
Sorsha -5 or -6
DF -3
Sawyer -5 or -6

insertnamehere wrote:Also, do you feel like this conversation is constructive?

Not particularly. It's just frustrating when it feels like one is being talked over. I just like being acknowledged--it's all I ask in life, really.

And it was really just real life frustration bleeding over into game.

As of this morning, I was at 8/10 hunger, and I am not poisoned.

There are probably better targets for fish?

I'm just saying this so that "Drop Your Buffs" will be the next episode's title.

Jeff i swear to God if I hear you say "Drop your Buffs" I'm gonna lose it

LoRab wrote:I'm curious how you feel about your trust for SVS in the future since she gave you a black rock?

Of course I still trust SVS. I hope she can forgive me for throwing the selfish rock as I forgave her.

Wait. Can someone eat more than 1 fish at a time?

I have a feeling that's what the rocks are going to be determining- new tribes.

I can feed myself. I make delicious meals.

Who are we voting for today? I will not be voting for Opt or Lorab. I would rather not vote DH or Golden. I am talking with Wilgy in BTSC and he seems to have turned a leaf. What do you guys think?

linki? really? does anyone else thinks that? I would have to be all jumbled into new tribes now. And why would there be so many options to choose form if that were the case?

You'd "rather not" vote for me?

Am I safe in assuming you left out Chuck because that's where you're leaning on your vote, Eloh?

Correct. You and Golden have both been awesome. And no...I don't want to vote chuck either. He seems cool. Was going to ask to have BTSC with him next.

INH, I'd like to know where you are at right now in regards to a wilgy vote.

So then who are you keen to vote for Eloh? I'm up in the air myself

I'm not angry at you LoRab, I was disheartened but got over it. I'm mostly concerned that fighting would break out in the tribe of we are hostile to one another.

Like I said, I do think you have the tribe's interests in mind, and that is a factor that comes into play when I think about my vote.

DharmaHelper wrote:So then who are you keen to vote for Eloh? I'm up in the air myself

It's hard. But I think I am down for an INH vote at the moment. He's not been a very memorable player. But I want discussion b/c I want to keep this vote in the best interest of the tribe.

Really? Interesting. I think I'd need a bit more of a case to be made other than he's "not been memorable", But I'm happy to see you trying to think these things over.

Currently my definitely not voting for list includes DH and Golden.

maybe we should get all our 'definitely nots' into the thread and see who's left.

I have a 'definitely not' on opt_outside. She's new around these parts, and I want her to get to hand around for a bit.

Plus I think her strength in challenges is important, especially given she's not sick.

I'll add Opt to my def nots through Eloh's recommendation. Eloh too. Eloh too.

Far as I'm concerned Opt and Chuck are definitely nots.

So far for the Def Nots we have:

Chuck - 1
DH - 1
Eloh - 1
Golden - 1
Lorab - 1
Opt -3

Hallo?

ABout the poll. I am automatically on mustard. It says in the thread to vote again. But the poll says only one vote per option. So I cannot do both. Scotty help me out here.

You wanna trade? I'll take mustard if you want Maroon.
