Survivor: Oz Tribal Thread

[Barkeep49]

All members of the Oz thread may read and post here. Messages to the tribe and tribal council will also be held in this thread.

Your team buff is red.

[Raiders Army]

Hey all. I'm in the tribe!

[Poli]

Me and RA? This could be ugly. :)

RA, did you see how many other teams there are? Wow.

[Raiders Army]

I think we have a pretty good team. cronin, GE, Schmidty, you and me. I hope none of us is a wolf though.

[Poli]

You know what's going to suck? I'm so used to going to the main page and just clicking the thread in WW that's currently listed.

That's not going to be a fun day if I do that right now.


And Ardent Honor: I'm no wolf.

[GoldenEagle]

I am in the tribe.

[Poli]

Word.

[Raiders Army]

I am also no wolf.

[st.cronin]

WOOT! I've got team spirit. And no, I'm not a wolf.

[GoldenEagle]

I never played Survivor before, so I may have some questions as the game goes on. I, of course, am no wolf.

[Raiders Army]

Check out wiki's website. Basically we do challenges and the losing tribe must vote out a member.

[Raiders Army]

So, we're the Team Elitist right? We're the players with the highest post counts.

[Raiders Army]

Hey, just so you guys know, there are two guys without a team: Tyrith and Imwithcrew (or something like that). I think we should try to get one of them on our team. They may come in handy when we go to Tribal Council.

[st.cronin]

Hey, just so you guys know, there are two guys without a team: Tyrith and Imwithcrew (or something like that). I think we should try to get one of them on our team. They may come in handy when we go to Tribal Council.

I have no idea how this will be possible, but it sounds like a good plan.

[Schmidty]

PRESENT!!!!!!


There. I got that out of the way early. I'm gonna miss being that big guy. :(

[Poli]

S'allright, Schmidty. We'll miss it too. :)

[st.cronin]

Anybody know what the team name means? I know there's the HBO show, Oz, but the other tribes are Howard, Helsing, Lupus.

[Poli]

Dunno. I think Oz, I think Terpkristin's cat, honestly.

Or the musician.

[Raiders Army]

Ozzy was one of the runner-up last season. Van Helsing had Kate Beckinsdale. Howard was the last name of the Three Stooges. I have no idea on Lupus.

[Barkeep49]

Now this is going to be a particularly cruel post, for reasons which will become clear shortly, but want me to say what they mean?

[Barkeep49]

Tree mail arrives, it reads

Will you be the ones to find the picture?
Do so and become an island fixture
Otherwise your stay here could be mighty quick
And you will lose out on a cool new trick.

Report to the Challenge thread

[ImTheCrew]

hopefully we did enough

[Raiders Army]

Welcome to the tribe ImTheCrew.

[ImTheCrew]

thanks, seems like a very good tribe :-)

[Raiders Army]

You're a f'ing elitist now.

[ImTheCrew]

a what?

[Raiders Army]

A f*cking elitist. Actually, I don't think any of us actually are (on FOFC). It's a somewhat long story. I can't remember who coined the phrase on here, but I believe it arose from certain people thinking certain other people were acting like elitists. Most of those elitists were members that had been here since the old days of another FOF message board.

[ImTheCrew]

ohok

[Barkeep49]

Please note that thanks to a nice catch by ImtheCrew you have been declared victors of the reward challenge.

[ImTheCrew]

Nice Win Tribe!

[Raiders Army]

First, good catch ITC! I'm glad you made it on the team!

Now,
Oh and also before everyone leaves, I need at least one person from each tribe to send me a PM to be a "volunteer". You may not post anywhere that you have volunteered. If a tribe fails to have anyone volunteer there will be consequences. Of course too many people volunteering for this unknown thing could be bad too. So just how adventurous do you feel?

Since you and I are the only ones here, do you want to volunteer or do you want me to?

[ImTheCrew]

what does this line mean "You may not post anywhere that you have volunteered"

[Raiders Army]

I mean, I will but the thing is that I don't have FOFC access at work.

[Barkeep49]

Do pay heed to the point where it says "You may not post anywhere that you have volunteered"

[Raiders Army]

Oh. Didn't catch that part.

[Raiders Army]

Well, I'm not volunteering. :)

[Raiders Army]

I'm going to bed. Night ITC. Great first day!

[ImTheCrew]

Thanks, you too. so im guessing ill volunteer?

[Raiders Army]

Ummmm...just don't post that you volunteered.

[ImTheCrew]

o ok i wont i get it now, oops

[ImTheCrew]

lets hope you did...........

[GoldenEagle]

My fault guys. I sent in nine pictures, but only got credited for 5. Some of the ones I took were really easy.

[Poli]

Please note that thanks to a nice catch by ImtheCrew you have been declared victors of the reward challenge.
Word!

[GoldenEagle]

Great job newbie!

[Poli]

This is a post pad, in case the amount of posts in our own team thread ever count for anything.

[Poli]

Dola post pad.

[Poli]

Triple dola post pad. Another team is getting close.

[Schmidty]

Talk, talk, words, words.

[GoldenEagle]

What is there to talk about? Do we choose the seer or is randomly assigned?

[Schmidty]

What is there to talk about? Do we choose the seer or is randomly assigned?

Nothing. I just want the other tribes to think we're posting a lot, and that we know more than they do.

[Schmidty]

Oh, and I have no idea how the Seer is chosen.

[Barkeep49]

Oh, and I have no idea how the Seer is chosen.
Randomly.

[ImTheCrew]

Post.

[Raiders Army]

Cool.

[Raiders Army]

Just a reminder: While I'm at work, I don't have FOFC access. I'll check in at lunchtime (like yesterday).

[Barkeep49]

Tree mail arrives.

Do you have a way with the written word?
The winner will hold back the werewolf herd
So hopefully you can rhyme
And have an easy time

[Raiders Army]

I emailed the challenge to my work. I'll work on the 8-20 line poem.

[Raiders Army]

Dola, and get it in at lunch today.

[GoldenEagle]

So, I guess we need some sort of team theme.

[Poli]

C'mon in Survivors.

I hope you had a nice night. I want to thank those of you who volunteered. Of course those who were chosen now are a little more evil than before, but let's not let that bother us.

On to today's reward challenge. In Werewolf words are important. It's how you decide who might be a wolf or how a wolf can save himself (or herself) from getting the ax. Today's challenge will test your abilities to use words. Each tribe is to pick a theme and you will then write four poems on that theme.

One poem will be an acrostic of at least 6 lines, one a limerick, one an 8-20 line poem with a rhyme scheme, and one a haiku.

The poems are due by 7 PM today here in the thread. You may post your poems all at once or separately as the day goes on, but once a poem is posted it may not be changed.

Today you'll be playing for something that can save you here on Werewolf Island. I have here two Werewolf Idols. One of them is filled with Wolfbane and will prevent a Werewolf attack from being successful. The other is useless. The winning tribe will decide, in their Tribal Thread, who gets these two Idols. After that the possessor of the Idols may keep or pass, publicly or privately, the Idols.

There might even be some celebrity judges coming to take a look at your poems, so I'd get to work.

Survivors ready? Go!

We definitely need a theme, and RA is working on the 8-20 already. Maybe we can look at his being the theme, whatever he's choosing.

We'll need two others to step up as well. I'll take the limerick.

[ImTheCrew]

im not very good with words :-(

[Poli]

Well, worst comes to worst, it doesn't say each poem has to by an individual. I could try and come up with something...

but mercy, I got a lot of females to put up with while I'm out. It would be hard for me to do more than one. One? I can probably wing it and get it done.

[ImTheCrew]

i could try to do the ryhme theme but im not promising, and im guessing were waiting for RA, to see what the theme is?

[Poli]

Think so. Meh, I don't like that, but we'll deal with it.

[Poli]

Try to come up with something werewolfish, though. I'm hoping that's the direction he's going with.

I'll post some stuff I can come up with over the next couple of hours.

I have an ultrasound on my neck at 1 Central, and then work after that. I'll have some net access, but really no time to be creative after that.

Anyone here can copy my work and post it as their own in the main thread, if we need it.

[ImTheCrew]

alright ill go ahead and do a werewolf rhyme poem, how many lines does it have to be?

[Poli]

Not sure. Guess enough to get the point across and rhyme.

[ImTheCrew]

this isnt for tribal council is it?

[Poli]

No, for immunity idols. Not the worst thing in the world to lose...but not something I want to lose in general.

[GoldenEagle]

alright ill go ahead and do a werewolf rhyme poem, how many lines does it have to be?

Wikipedia the various forms of a poem. I am sure structure is going to go along way with this.

By the way, are you a vols fan? AE may love you if that is the case.

[Poli]

:)

[ImTheCrew]

Yes Im A BIG Vol Fan!!!

[Poli]

How did you know, GE??

GO VOLS! ITC, if you only knew how big of a Vols fan I am...

[ImTheCrew]

what made you become vols fan, since you live in missouri?

[Poli]

There once was a guy named Ardent
Who went to a forum so he could vent
He said, "I never lie"
They said, "You do, you must die!"
Poor Ardent was left with resent!

[Poli]

Lived in Lenoir City when I was younger, 13-14. I started watching football then. It's hard not to capture the enthusiasm there.

[ImTheCrew]

oh yeah i love the great state of tennessee

[Poli]

Where would we be with out this game?
Everyone thinks the same.
Regardless, we're happy to be here
Except the wolves, who rather be chewing on ears
Wolves are wussies
Oh, how I hate the wolves
Like I hate the Navy, I hate the wolves
Forever.

[Poli]

Amen, brother.

[Poli]

Now if I could figure out what a haiku is... :)

Feel free to alter the above poems as well, fellas. Like I said, at 1 pm Central I'm out, and probably out of creativity while online as well.

I'm putting off watching the latest episode of Heroes online to help. :)

[Poli]

I think I like the acrostic more myself.

[Poli]

The haiku is kicking my butt. 5, 7, 5, three lines? Dang.

[Poli]

I, I will survive,
If the wolves stay away
I will be alive.

[Poli]

Thoughts?

[GoldenEagle]

I think ImtheCrew and AE could have a brokeback snicker moment before this game is over with.

AE, I like the poem.

[Poli]

lol

Like I said, I may not be here to post them in the real thread. Feel free to adapt or just copy and paste.

[ImTheCrew]

sorry im back, at 12:45 ill be gone till about 3pm so i dont have alot of time, inbetween or after for a poem, but ill try

[Poli]

If RA has the other one, then all we need to do is change one of the ones I made or submit them.

[ImTheCrew]

how many have you posted? can you put them in one thread?

[Poli]

They are all in this thread. The haiku, the acrostic, and the limerick.

[ImTheCrew]

so ill do the rhyme?

[Poli]

You can, but I know RA is working on one. You could see if you could improve one of the other three.

[ImTheCrew]

ooooooh i missread that, nvm i thought the 8-20 and rhyme were two seperate ones

[ImTheCrew]

ok so i thought there was 5, when there is only 4

[Poli]

I did as well, when I reread it I caught it.

[ImTheCrew]

I, I will survive,
If the wolves stay away
I will be alive.

is this the haiku?

[Poli]

Yep.

[Raiders Army]

Sorry, didn't get it done during work this morning (I know, I had to work). Working it now.

[GoldenEagle]

We are falling behind in the post counts. Maybe we should talk about football or something?

[Raiders Army]

Written rather quickly in iambic pentameter. A Shakespearean Sonnet:

FOFC Werewolf

It started when we came to the Sideline,
To muse and talk about the game of Jim,
Blacky left and SkyDog said “This is mine!”
So he made a website for a text-sim.

And that was how eff oh eff see started,
SkyDog up front, Ryan S in the rear,
The board filled up until someone farted,
Then we voted someone out with a jeer.

And that was how WereWolf was brought about,
With no whistles and certainly no bells,
No, there are no polls, there is not a trout,
We vote to lynch WereWolves to save ourselves.

We kill all Werewolves and their evil kin,
And that is when we will finally win

By the way, I think we should title all of our poems. Gives us the edge in a judging contest.

[Raiders Army]

You guys can post my poem in the other thread if you think you like it. There is something else to discuss here.

I think that from BK's post this morning, whoever volunteered is evil. That being said, we're safe from evil tonight. Here's a question for strategy for you guys:

Should we throw this challenge?

Here are my pros and cons:

Pros: Another tribe could be safe tonight from the wolves. I believe that eventually we'll be merged, so as far as later on down the road it may behoove us to allow another team to win immunity today.

Cons: I don't like to lose. Also, the more we let other teams lose members, the fewer people they have in the challenges, thus making it easier for us until we merge. When we do merge, we merge with greater numbers. Thanks to ITC, we're already one member more than two other tribes.

I'm good with either strategy, but it may be something we want to discuss before we post our poems in the main thread.

I'm out until after work today, so good luck!

[GoldenEagle]

I think we should try to win if we can win. Are the poems due tonight by 7 PM EST?

[Poli]

I believe they are.Also note: It's not wise to have me post them. I have run time errors on this VB script at work and can't use the fancy editing things like posting in red.I like RA's suggestion of titling, as well.

[Poli]

I, I will survive,
If the wolves stay away
I will be alive.

Suggested Title:Born To LiveI hate this editing junk.

[Poli]

Wow. This thing is really bad.

[Poli]

Where would we be with out this game?
Everyone thinks the same.
Regardless, we're happy to be here
Except the wolves, who rather be chewing on ears
Wolves are wussies
Oh, how I hate the wolves
Like I hate the Navy, I hate the wolves
Forever.

Werewolf. Pretty simple title.

[Poli]

There once was a guy named Ardent
Who went to a forum so he could vent
He said, "I never lie"
They said, "You do, you must die!"
Poor Ardent was left with resent!

Ardent's Plight. I think that's using the word plight correctly.

[Schmidty]

Just woke up. I only have a few seconds before I go pick my daughter up from daycare, and go eat lunch. I haven't read the threads in depth, but I see that we have to write 4 types of poems.

If you guys need me to do a poem, I would be happy to. I know this is hard to believe, but I'm a published poet. Of course, it's been years (since my college days, and a couple after that), but I think it'd be a lot of fun.

Anyway, I'll be back in a few hours, so if you guys want to assign something to me, let me know.

[GoldenEagle]

Here is my attempt at a limerick.

The Traitor
There was once a villager in the game
Who seeked Werewolf fame
So the villager switched to the other side
Hoping that his course with fame would collide
But he was caught, it just brought himself shame

You will have to do it quick, since it is due by 6 PM CST.

I have to admit I would have never guessed that. That's a really cool thing to have learned!

[Poli]

I wouldn't have guessed it either.

[ImTheCrew]

what you saying

[GoldenEagle]

I put my heart on the line and wrote a poem and y'all con not even comment on it? Jerks.

[Poli]

GE,It should read There once was a...You should also try to make it resemble a flowing type of poem...example:A flea and a fly in a flueWere caught, so what could they do?Said the fly, "Let us flee.""Let us fly," said the flea.So they flew through a flaw in the flue.See what I mean? It's flowing...it's hard to explain, considering how this will end up format wise...there's a "flow" to it, though.

[Poli]

Wow, that turned out way bad.

[st.cronin]

Technically speaking a haiku has to present an image, and usually it's of nature. I'm here, will be around until deadline. Catching up on the other thread now.

[Raiders Army]

We're running out of time. I'll post these in the main thread if it looks good to you.

[st.cronin]

What is the deadline? I'd like to maybe edit those a bit, just to clean up some funky rhythms.

[Raiders Army]

Too late. Already posted em and the deadline is now.

[st.cronin]

Well, I like our chances. Good work by ardent.

[ImTheCrew]

sorry guys i had work to do, but just saw the poems, i think we have a good chance good job guys!

[st.cronin]

So, I'm confused ... was there a "tribal council" at the end of the last challenge? Has anybody been "eliminated"?

[Raiders Army]

No one has been eliminated. The first tribal council is tonight for the two tribes where it says the deadline is 10 PM.

[st.cronin]

I see. Thanks.

[Poli]

Well, I like our chances. Good work by ardent.
Thanks, I did what I could to help win.

[Raiders Army]

Good job guys. I think we got hosed a little since the comments didn't match the scores, but great effort.

[ImTheCrew]

yea good job RA and AE i didnt do much if anything i appoligize and hope i can do more tommorow.

[Poli]

You did awesome, RA. Awesome.

[Raiders Army]

You did awesome, RA. Awesome.

I only did one poem. You did like three. st. cronin did a great job with the Haiku, our highest score IIRC.

[GoldenEagle]

Just a little heads up guys, I am going to be going to Russelville, AR tomorrow during the primary game time. I will get my contributions in early. Do we have to vote off someone?

[Barkeep49]

Tree mail
Tomorrow you have to vote
And not a second late
For that will decide your fate
And which tribe will gloat
And for which it might be the last date

[Poli]

Hmm.

[st.cronin]

I posted in the other thread, my schedule tomorrow is similar to my schedule today. I may have a few minutes early am and lunch time, but will be consistently available starting around 3:30 pm mountain time.

[Poli]

Gotcha man. I'll be more avail during the mornings right now.

[Poli]

Stay out, barkeep. :)

[Raiders Army]

I'll be available from about 8:30-9:30 AM, 2:00-3:00 PM, and after 7 PM EST due to work and not accessing FOFC.

[st.cronin]

I'm finding this game very disorienting. Are we expecting a wolf attack tonight? Do we have a seer? (I don't want to know WHO the seer is, but I thought we were supposed to get one).

I don't know what else I have missed. I'm just finding it hard to figure out what's going on.

[st.cronin]

dola

Are we supposed to vote somebody off tomorrow?

[Poli]

Nope.

[Poli]

I'm as confused as you are, honestly.

[Poli]

We should all vote our thread 5 stars and recruit others outside the game to invade other team threads and give them 1 stars. :)

[Poli]

Err, star.

[st.cronin]

that's an excellent idea

So Barkeep said "Information is power" or something like that. I was thinking about printing up the "meet the survivors" thread thinking that maybe Bk was going to quiz us on it or something.

[Poli]

I would. I have.

[Poli]

I had thought about not sharing that info.

[st.cronin]

I had thought about not sharing that info.

As had I. I assume there's at least one wolf in our tribe, but I have no idea what sort of strategy they will take to the tribal competition.

[Poli]

I'm trying to play this as if there is no wolf, as if it were just Survivor, and see where that takes me.

I've got a notion on who's the wolf in this bunch, which isn't something I'm going to share right now.

[st.cronin]

I'm trying to play this as if there is no wolf, as if it were just Survivor, and see where that takes me.

I've got a notion on who's the wolf in this bunch, which isn't something I'm going to share right now.

Do you think there's anything to the idea that the wolves are the volunteers? I don't think that makes a lot of sense, but it seems to be the conventional wisdom.

[Poli]

It makes sense to me...it's their either the wolves...or they have an immunity based on making mistakes and keeping their team from winning challenges...thus, a little more evil.

[st.cronin]

I'm not sure I buy it.

[Poli]

What?

[st.cronin]

That the volunteers = wolves. Suppose a tribe had a discussion about who should volunteer. Or what if nobody volunteered? It just doesn't make sense.

[Poli]

You couldn't discuss if you volunteered or not.

I've wondered if that's still a rule or not.

[st.cronin]

You couldn't discuss if you volunteered or not.

I've wondered if that's still a rule or not.

Yes, but prior to anybody volunteering, the tribe could have had a discussion, no? That's how I read it.

[Poli]

I don't think so, that's not the way I read it. Barkeep jumped in here and told us to cut it out.

[st.cronin]

Somehow I missed that exchange before.

[Poli]

Catch it now? So, your thoughts now?

[st.cronin]

Well, if you're right, it somewhat narrows down who the wolf might be in our group. I still think that's an unlikely way to pick a wolf. But, Barkeep's games are generally totally baffling to me, even after everything has been explained. I'll go with: I'm still a bit uncomfortable thinking that's how the wolves are picked. What weirds me out a bit is the people thinking it was obvious even though they had no access to this thread.

I don't know what we're supposed to do about the wolves, though.

[Poli]

I'm guessing Barkeep went into other threads and squashed other discussions as well.

[st.cronin]

That's why I'm thinking my guess is wrong. Maybe BKs comments in other threads made it more obvious.

[Poli]

Maybe, I don't know. Like I said, I'm going to let the werewolves come to me...and try to make my way around them.

[ImTheCrew]

10:15-12:45 3:00-5:30----times i can be here

[Raiders Army]

In case you guys were wondering, the wolf is probably either ITC or me based upon BK's explanation that the volunteer=evil. I believe that it is a pretty good assumption that the volunteer is a wolf since it would explain his squashing of conversation.

Anyhow, if that is true, then it's probably either ITC or me since we were the only two on. I know that I'm not the wolf; then again, if I were the wolf that is what I'd say. :)

[Raiders Army]

Dola,

I hope that our seer scanned either ITC or me last night. That would narrow it down. I think for the next tribal vote if we don't win immunity we should vote out either him or me. At least in this case we have a pretty good shot at getting a wolf.

Then again, there is the scenario that he didn't volunteer either. In which case, I don't think anyone volunteered. Regardless, I think that it makes it easy to decide whom should be voted out next.

[Poli]

I was hoping barkeep would come in and say if we're allowed to say if we volunteered after the fact, if you will.

I volunteered, but wasn't chosen, so someone obviously volunteered ahead of me. I asked about that and about the seer, and I wasn't chosen for either.

[Raiders Army]

Okay, so then I think that narrows it down to either ITC or me is the wolf.

I'm out for the morning. See you guys at lunch.

[Poli]

FYI, I'll be voting Jonathan as soon as the window is open. In 5 min. I've got the post ready and waiting. I may start posting in here to get the official timing down.

[GoldenEagle]

I will take the 10:30 vote.

I repeat, I will take the 10:30 vote.

[Poli]

I already laid claim to it. I may not be around at all after this.

[GoldenEagle]

Nevermind, AE it is all you but I will get the next one. Need to get my vote out of the way.

[Poli]

My name's already on the block as is.

[Poli]

Gotcha.

[Poli]

Test

[Poli]

Nice.

[Poli]

Working the clock.

[Poli]

I think my PC clock and this one are really close. It should be 10:28.

[ImTheCrew]

hey ae

[Poli]

Now to see if it's early at all.

[ImTheCrew]

so are you going to be the poster at 10 30?

[Poli]

Yo

[Poli]

Yep

[Poli]

You know it

[Poli]

Still timing

[Poli]

Good to go.

[ImTheCrew]

what if two members of the same tribe voted??

[Poli]

I, my friends, am good.

[ImTheCrew]

Great Job AE, i shold be able to do the next three, but id rather you since you have the times down whats your scheldule for the next three

[Poli]

My clock just happens to have it nearly on the second, but I do have to go around 2 hours from now for work.

[GoldenEagle]

Remember ImTheCrew, we all have to get at least one vote in or we get disqualified.

[ImTheCrew]

so do you think you can get the 12?

[Barkeep49]

Remember ImTheCrew, we all have to get at least one vote in or we get disqualified.
Actually there is just a penalty (you lose your top score, so in this case you'd have a 3 point penalty)

[Poli]

GE can have the next, it's no problem.

Barkeep must be laughing now at my timing posts.

[Poli]

I think we're in good shape to get everyone in though.

[ImTheCrew]

ok yea, the computers here have the clocks disabled, so 3 EST would be the best for me

[GoldenEagle]

My clock read "9:22" when I posted on the board. It showed up as 9:24 on the post time. So, I need to post at 11:58 here and hope that I am not early.

[Poli]

GE, have two windows ready...and try to time it out so you hit it on the time change.

Just a friendly suggestion. :)

[GoldenEagle]

Two windows ready?

[Poli]

One for the timer...the other with your vote, ready for the quick reply.

[ImTheCrew]

id try to find it out by the second eagle, if you have the time to do that

[ImTheCrew]

click on your clock in the lower right hand corner, and time it by second

[st.cronin]

I should be able to get the last three. It also looks like I'm going to be close to the most votes, so any suggestions on who we should try to vote for?

[Poli]

Jonathan. Revenge for me...but that's who I want, personally. Who is the other team going after?

[Poli]

We need to try and work RA, ITC, and Schmidty in as well...if we can.

[st.cronin]

Alan T seems to be getting some votes. Ardent (or anybody), if you have some time, a vote count in this thread would be handy.

[ImTheCrew]

im getting the 3pm inless i post otherwise

[Poli]

Votes:
Kwhit for Schmidty
Jonathan for Ardent
Alan for St. Cronin

Bad day for us.

Ardent for Jonathan
Anxiety (who I didn't realize was even playing) for Alan T
Gramm for Cronin

[Poli]

Finally
ntn for Alan T

[Poli]

Alan T might be the best bet then.

[ImTheCrew]

alan t 2
St.Cronin 2
Schmidty 1
ARDENT 1
Jonathan 2

[ImTheCrew]

Votes:


Bad day for us.




Yeah no kidding

[Poli]

My vote for Jonathan doesn't count, I don't believe. Not sure.

[Poli]

Fortunately, those 3 were spread out. 3 on one guy and we'd likely be toast.

[ImTheCrew]

why wouldnt it count?

[ImTheCrew]

3 for who?

[ImTheCrew]

ah because at first you put haters, should we ask in the main thread?

[Poli]

I think he said something like my vote doesn't count because Jonathan voted for me.

[Poli]

It would suck to lose the vote based on that, but my vote haters was based on a joke...because i thought only the first 3 counted no matter what.

[st.cronin]

I'm trying to imagine the ruckus Blade is causing in whichever thread he's in.

[Poli]

:)

[ImTheCrew]

Post Count.

[st.cronin]

I think this is what AE is talking about:

What you must do is be the first to post a vote at that time. Votes should be formatted in your team color and be bold (so, for instance, Oz’s should look like Vote Barkeep . If you’re the first to post on, or after, the designated time your tribe gets 3 points. Second 2, third 1, and fourth none. If your tribe posts before the time or more than one person posts for a tribe, it’s zero points. Also, if the person you vote for is a person who is doing the round for their team, and it is posted before that person’s vote, their vote will not count. Oh and I wouldn’t want to be the person who got the most votes at the end of the day. It’s not quite as bad as a normal vote, but it’s still not too pleasant. Every person on a tribe must do at least one round, but other than that there is no restriction about who can do a round.

It's a bit confusing - it seems like it means that if Blade votes, and then you vote for Blade, your vote doesn't count.

[GoldenEagle]

So I know how I can time it on my clock here, but how can I test it with the server clock?

[Poli]

Keep posting, constantly, like I did earlier.

[Poli]

Like this.

[Poli]

Hey, clock, how are ya?

[Poli]

Look, time change.

[Poli]

Good luck, GE. Bring home the 3 points.

[Poli]

At the post the time will be 6 minutes till.

[st.cronin]

It's a travesty that these posts don't count.

[ImTheCrew]

it is

[st.cronin]

If these posts counted people would respect me more.

[GoldenEagle]

Test

[Poli]

If these posts counted, it would be 3 minutes till. Wait it is.

[Poli]

You're a few seconds off, GE.

[Poli]

Or maybe just a second off. Good shot.

[st.cronin]

If these posts counted, the Patriots would have won the Super Bowl.

[GoldenEagle]

Testing again

[Poli]

Wisconsin would be champions.

[ImTheCrew]

time

[Poli]

Closing in.

Go GE GO.

[GoldenEagle]

Testing again again

[GoldenEagle]

Crap :(

[Poli]

Dang it.

[st.cronin]

Wisconsin would be champions.

Yo, Wisconsin is champions bro.
