Episode 2: Sabotage Continues?

[Sam Shakusky]

Based off the advantage I think I wanna be shooting at a 10 tile and than miss off of the target, gonna have to think it over a bit more though.

CONFESSIONAL PROMPT 4: How do you feel about Rat's elimination?

I have a very strong feeling of indifference. A little bit of curiosity as well.

[Sam Shakusky]

M. Gustave mentioned to me he wanted to be more of a risk-taking player this game; I'm gonna have to keep that in mind if an opportunity pops up. It also solidifies my earlier thought that he's one of the biggest threats. Duke on the other hand has been flaking heavily, my initial evaluation of his threat level is probably wrong.

[Sam Shakusky]

Gahh these people are making it so hard to misfire.

Like if I wanna completely misfire I can't shoot until after someone else misses their 9/10 and then I need to misfire the tile they missed on.

[Sam Shakusky]

I think I'm gonna just hit the target at this point. Risk/reward doesn't seem worth it.

[Sam Shakusky]

Peter Whitman!!!!!!!!!!

[Sam Shakusky]

One weird thing for me to think about is that we probably would have won if I cared about winning the challenge. Like if I wanted to win I would've practiced shooting a 6 a few times before doing it. But I just didn't really care and so I just took the shot.



CONFESSIONAL PROMPT 5: After a close challenge, how are you feeling about your tribe's cohesion and unity? Is there a weak link?
I think our tribe is still gonna be very cohesive without Kylie.

[Sam Shakusky]

The alliances are on track to be created prior to the end of challenge 3, which is good.

Game plan is to eliminate Kylie here.
Hopefully use the alliances to squeeze out Young Writer upon the next loss.
If we lose a third time Mr. Glume probably has to go.
If it comes to a fourth with this tribe somehow, I'll mostly likely pull Anthony in with Richie/Gustave and then vote out whichever of the other three they agree on.

Edit is fixing a typo that's bugging me too much to keep.

[Brendan]

Do you regret not sabotaging the challenge now that your tribe has lost anyway? Any guesses about what you might have gotten?

[Captain Sharp]

What are "The alliances" ?

[Sam Shakusky]

Do you regret not sabotaging the challenge now that your tribe has lost anyway? Any guesses about what you might have gotten?

I don't regret it, I would've have had to have taken a wild shot and than missed, and I think that would have damaged people's trust in me too much. My guess would be a challenge advantage down the line but who knows.

What are "The alliances" ?

Richie/Gustave/me
Duke/Suzy/Oracle/me

Not formed yet but I've talked to everyone in each of them so I expect a group pm to be created for each prior to the conclusion of the third challenge.



Also Suzy pointed out to me that the most online is stuck at 2. The only grouped user who's account was created at that time was Wes Anderson, everyone else is 2021. There is 10 Ivanhoe + 10 Rushmore + 4 admin + 17 spectators = 41 users, but the board says we have 42 users. So I expect there to be an idol/advantage associated with that 42nd user...

[Wes Anderson]

You own the binoculars, which give you a view of what’s to come, albeit a slightly blurry one. Do you have any plans to use or share that information to further your game?

[Sam Shakusky]

I don't plan to share the information with anyone because than I have to explain I spent extra on the challenge.

Really it's just incentive for me to go for someone like Oracle at final 13 since I see a number of benefits to not having someone that active at merge.

If I figure out what the nonswap thing of the 16 and 14 mile markers are I'll likely utilize that information, but if I don't figure it out there's not much I can do.

[Sam Shakusky]

I have realized that the 42nd user is the sub on the other team and that Wes Anderson is the only user who's account is old enough to be online at that time when there was two users online. I am now confuzzled.

[Sam Shakusky]

An idea has popped into my head.

@Game mods, how does giving someone else an item work? Specifically, can it be done anonymously?

[Brendan]

Yes, you can give people items anonymously if you wish.

[Sam Shakusky]

Cool, will do so later.


"The only name I have heard is Kylie, have you heard anything else?" ~ Everyone, as if they expect the answer to be yes.

[Brendan]

What is your plan with the items?

[Sam Shakusky]

I plan to anonymously send the Dog Flu Serum and Schematics to Young Writer once when I make sure the votes go how I think they will. I expect Young Writer to then share the information with the tribe which I expect to be mildly beneficial for me and will put pressure on Peter Whitman come swap which I think will also be good for me.


And I wanna hold onto the binoculars since those still have use.

[Sam Shakusky]

I was really expecting more people to answer the tribal questions.

[Wes Anderson]

I was really expecting more people to answer the tribal questions.

Good point… I’d like to bug everyone into replying and giving serious answers next time.
