The Syndicate

Per our interaction in the thread and Eloh's interaction with her.

Originally I had thought she having the tribe in mind and this made me waver my vote in spite of our interaction. I don't know if this is the case anymore.

I did and do have the tribe in mind. Always. That is why I didn't reveal all my cards to Elo in the first place. Because I don't trust anyone with all of my information in the first comments of a conversation--that just isn't in the best interest of the tribe.

And, see above about my conversation with Elo.

I'm still ok with my vote for you.

Ah. Mistook evening to mean 'this half phase'

And, if anyone is curious, here are the 2 things I said to Elo about Opt before revealing that we had BTSC the previous night:

"I definitely feel I want to protect and be true to Opt. It's my newbie nurture instinct."

"She seems great in the thread. I want BTSC with her next."

Again, Elo brought up Opt in our chat before I did, and I was responding to her comments. And, as I said, because our BTSC was based on a mechanic outside of the regular requests, I didn't want to initially reveal it, as it would reveal that mechanic.

After a bit more conversation about other matters, I said, "OK, as long as we're being honest...I also had BTSC with Opt yesterday."

I had not lied and said I did not have additional BTSC. I had not said I had not had BTSC with Opt. This was, not within a very long period of time.

Just to clarify what we're talking about, as Elo has described as being something that I don't think is accurate.

No matter what, unity is most important. We need to feel good about the 7 we go forward with. We shouldn't start creating fractures. I'm looking to vote in the way that I think most promotes unity.

Lorab, elo... question... do you feel like you can trust each other if you are both here tomorrow?

Oh lord. I left my phone at home while I was at work. Well this got busy! Just caught up. For the record no one has chosen charcoal at the beginning of the day so I selected that one as a choice, not because I was already there. We literally don't even know what the rocks do so taking any of them is a total gamble anyway- we have no information. Glad you guys worked it out...

I agree that the seven we have left need to be ready to stay strong. I really think we're at a tribe swap so we need to protect each other and hold our numbers or we'll get picked off

I tend to think so too. 14 is a pretty common number to swap at in an 18 player season.

Honestly? I'm not sure. When I left the house earlier, I'd have said yes. I felt really good about our conversation--which was why I opened up about the information I had and shared with her about the game mechanics which allowed me additional BTSC. I think sharing game secrets is a way that we establish trust in games. At least, that's how I play. We suss people out--when we start to trust them, we start to share things. I thought I could trust her.

When I got home and saw what she said about me in the thread while I was out at work (which I was open about the fact that I was going to be gone--both in the thread an in the chat with her), I'm not so sure.

I'm willing to give her limited trust, because I believe in extending the benefit of the doubt and the assumption of good will. And she hasn't been back to explain herself since I've been back (or at least not enough to respond--she was in the chat when I returned, but not long enough to say anything--and she appeared as present in thread when I got back for a bit, but I assume it was just a matter of the computer being on.

i'd like to hear from her before I make a judgement call, tbh.

When I got into BTSC with Eloh right off the bat she told me her info and we answered e/o's questions.

She was seemed very honest and upfront. Her goal was to judge if I was an asset to the team, and I think w/o a doubt to discuss to better the team.

I don't think she'll be back tonight as remarked in btsc.

Ah. Mistook evening to mean 'this half phase'

I think this mistake may have been a lead cause in this...

Ermm... W/e.

I agree with this assessment. But I also won't say that she said everything she knew in the first moment of BTSC. Like I did, and like in any conversation, she shared information as the conversation progressed.

And yes, she went to bed around the time that I got back after being at work tonight because of holiday celebratoriness.

So, yes. Night meaning game night is a good definition that people should probably go with.

I can only hope that more people assumed that definition than assumed a different definition. Or changed their vote once this was clarified.

I'm fairly confident that I won't be voted out this tribal. I mean, I'm never fully confident. But I believe that enough people know that I have the cause of the tribe as my cause. And that enough people see that there are others who are trying to divide this tribe, when what we need is unity.

I agree, but who is legitimately trying to divide the tribe?

DrWilgy wrote:I agree, but who is legitimately trying to divide the tribe?

I don't think anyone is. We've been a really good tribe. Vote outs are annoying.

I don't think feeling that way about elo right now is difficult to understand from LoRab.

Idk, I kinda do. Even if one is wrong, there's a miscommunication or general play styles aren't agreed upon, I'd think LoRab still thinks that Eloh has the tribe on mind.

I guess we'll see.

Licking their wounded bodies and souls, Mamana trudged back into camp, feeling defeated.

And they knew it was a tribal council that would pull them further apart.

At tribal, tensions ran high with arguments over commitment. Who wasn't committed enough to the tribe?

"You all are quite the enthusiasts for Tribal Council, aren't you?" asked Probst.

"Oh, bugger off," Golden sneered.

"BUGS?!" Screamed Marmot. He was in the mood for a feast for kings, and went to sniff out some tasty morsels.

The tribal council went as usual, or as usual as it could. Every player in turn went up to put a name down.

"But you're all such good friends- I don't want to get rid of any of you! Especially not you, Mr. Popcorn," Wilgy said, fingering the little Mexican Jumping Bean in his pocket.

"I'll go get the votes."

Probst prepped and performed a graceful quadruple pirouette where he stood- an aerial feat! The jar of votes dropped down from the ceiling...from...somewhere...

"Wow! That was amazing!" screamed INH.

Just a couple things I picked up at the set of Dancing with the Stars. Now…if anyone has the hidden immunity idol and wishes to play it, you may do so now.”

The tribe warily looked around at each other once more, but no one stood.

“Ok. Once the votes are read, the decision will be made and the person will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I’ll read the votes.

But just as the tribe was leaving, Scotty Probst pulled a fast one.

"Oh, one more thing," he said, winking at DH.


"Drop your buffs."
