For example, master, dearest mason, please don't vote ibav/filthy just because they were on the other jeep. You have a legitimate chance of beating them. If mark/tehtoes win, that doesn't mean you do

i don't see any reason why we shouldn't just go:
jim=cheetah
master=grufalo
toes and I=lion

right? jim, you might want to reconsider and go grufalo and let master go cheetah, that way you at least are guaranteed some points.

Me/aksdal on lion yo. You can take 0 if ya want thats fine

Well duh, Im not a retard

i can afford to take zero as long as we keep the big numbers covered

If this is the case, know it wasn't intended. The intentions of any postings about your jeep was as a response of seeing two people get so frustrated they subbed out and not anything to further negative feelings from the game.

I don't have any issues outside of this game with anyone here (in fact considering myself to be on rather good terms with a majority of you) and anything I said was meant in the scope of this particular game.



Probs, so don't complain about me "hurting my chances to win" and doing things out of spite when I vote you out if I have the chance. Still gonna try to do what I think is correct until eliminated though.

It makes little sense for anyone to challenge me on cheetah given the current game state. Enough people are close enough that purposefully taking a zero to spite the guy with 30 points makes no sense, and everyone in this game is intelligent enough think it through and see it I think. I appreciate the attempt at ensuring I get points regardless, but I need to get points in chunks, not to grind it out at this point.







I did see a comment on Jeep 2 taking warthog. Taking warthog furthers the deficit your jeep faces. Assuming Ibavly/Roo take warthog, that leave mark and tehtoes at gruffalo and shanks/aksdal on lion. Point totals would then be:



tehtoes 83
marknfw 78
alrightyroo 66
ibavly 65
master3004 59
aksdal 57
shanks 49
jimhowlpert 46



I would still lose darwinism. You two would now be 17 and 16 points behind the leaders (12/13 behind 2nd) and master/aksdal/shanks would close the gap to you.

Tehtoes/Mark/Me would vote aksdal, ensuring his departure in democracy. This would leave you further behind tehtoes/mark than you are now and eliminate 57 votes from a current ally of yours.

Tehtoes would vote out aksdal in dictatorship, leaving the same situation.





Sure, this might only be what I'm saying would happen when I believe something else would happen. But do you really wanna chance it from someone who is "drawing dead"?

I'd advise not falling further behind by choosing warthog.

Jimbo

hint

as last place, you owe no loyalty to tehtoes and you're a threat to nobody

I'm aware of both counts. Which is why I can say I'm going cheetah and show a logical progression why nobody has a strategic reason to challenge me on it. And if someone does, or if we rand Darwinism and I lose, **** happens I made the only play at merge I could. Just playing the game.


Be careful though, if you and shanks goes Lion, and mark blocks with lion, I'm not in last anymore.

shanksy is kind of a loose cannon though

Yeah, shanks could try and block me to ensure he isn't on the bottom. The issue becomes the only way to win is to have the most points at the end. By doing that he falls further behind the rest, potentially becomes last after my elimination, and it's much more difficult for him to win at that point. So he's hurting his overall chances of winning to better the chances of surviving one more day (when those chances are already very high).

Plus, shanks may be a "loose canon" but I don't believe it's an emotional reason. I think he thinks through what would logically be best for him and does it, even if it's against the group he was in.

what happens if you me and mark are the only ones to not go warthog

do i get the boot?

To continue on with that last part, currently I feel his interests and mine are the same (because we're both gonna lose with a darwinism run), and therefore can trust him when he says he's going to do X.

Regardless of the actual answer, I'm going to say "yes" here as an effort to not give any incentive for ibavly/roo to go warthog.

Of course there are multiple factors that go into that having an effect. Namely if their take on the game (that youre an important person to be around in order for them to win for one) mirrors mine, if they believe me when I say it, if they even care if you're still around, things of that nature.

Mod Note:

there IS an elimination on this hunt
