Congratulations on making the merge. At this point it becomes an individual game. There will be challenges awarding individual immunity, then the whole tribe goes to tribal council where you vote out a player.

Your tribe is Tribe Murlonio. Your motto is "To hell with you!"



POG Rules
Do not attack or insult other players in the game. A little bit can be overlooked; if it becomes excessive, or contravenes 2+2 site rules, then Moderator action may be taken. You should focus on attacking a persons ideas, actions or logic - not the poster as an individual. If you feel someone is crossing the line with namecalling, you should PM a POG Mod (Legend42, gtpitch or Zurvan) who is not currently playing in the game. Post reports should be avoided if mods are playing the game, as it may provide them additional unfair information based on who is reporting. Standard 2+2 rules violations (ie, telling someone to perish in a oily conflagration, inline nudity) can be reported with the Post Notification button.

Wagering on the game is not allowed.

2+2 Terms of Service and site rules are to be observed at all times

One account per player - you may not play in a game with multiple accounts, nor should you attempt to use a well known account to extract information from other players while you play on a gimmick account.

Due to the social nature of the game of survivor, we will be more lenient with these rules then in a standard game, however please not to make anything that happens in this game personal.

Basic Rules

No editing posts

No deleting posts

Any PMs or private communication with the Game mod is not to be posted in the thread


Format

If you have not played a longform strategy game on POG before, please read this to get an idea of how the game works. You will start with 10 players on your tribe, and 10 players on the other tribe.

Challenges: You will compete in challenges. Some of those challenges will be for reward. Winning these will give you benefits that may help you in the long run. Most of the challenges will be Immunity challenges. Whichever tribe loses the Immunity challenge is forced to go to Tribal Council.
Tribal Council: As soon as the mod announces that Tribal Council has begun all communication both inside and outside of the thread must cease. At that time you should PM the mod with your vote of which player you would like to vote out of the game. The player with the most votes is out of the game and can no longer communicate with anyone still in the game about the game, no matter what.
The Merge: At some point in the game all players will be condensed in to one tribe. At this point it becomes an individual game. There are still immunity challenges, but it is for individual immunity, the single player that wins cannot be voted out that tribal council. After every Immunity challenge there will be a tribal council. Everybody attends this TC and anybody who doesn't have an immunity necklace can be voted for. The person with the most votes is out of the game.
The Jury: At some point, the people voted out start to form the jury. The jury cannot discuss the game with anybody who is not also on the Jury. They are encouraged to continue following the game. When we are down to the final players in the game, they do not vote each other. Instead the power shifts to the Jury, and the Jury gets to vote for who will be the winner of the game.
Hidden Immunity Idols: There will be Hidden Immunity Idols throughout the game (HII). Obviously I will not tell you how or where to find them, and I can tell you it will not be easy. If you get a HII, you can use it to gain immunity during a single TC. In your PM casting your vote simple add "play HII" and all votes cast against you will not count. The next highest vote getter will be voted out instead.

Throughout the game there will be unexpected plot twists that will generally be out of the players control. I will make these plot twists random as to who they advantage/disadvantage so they are as fair as possible, however realize going in that if you play this game you may be at some point put in a position that you view as a disadvantage that you had no way of controlling. This is just a part of the game.

Communication

In the real game of survivor, when there are a lot of people on the tribe at the beginning of the game it is difficult to communicate individually, although there is plenty of time to talk as a group. To replicate that, in the beginning of the game communication will be limited to this thread, and to a single skypechat that everyone will be part of. To join this chat, either PM me or contact me through ibavly@yu.edu on AIM. If you do not have skype then I encourage you to get it, as it is a great program, but it is completely possible to play this game without skype.
There still are many tasks to be done, such as collecting firewood and drawing water, so there is opportunity to discuss in private. At the beginning of each gameday, I will announce a certain amount of PMs that are allotted to your tribe. To use those PMs, make a post in this thread saying "use 'x' PMs". Once all the PMs for that gameday are taken, you must wait until the next gameday before using any more PMs. PMs may be sent out to more then one person. You can join the "POG game mods" group by going to My2p2->Edit options to gain the ability to PM up to 8 people.
As the game progresses your freedom of communication will increase. By the end of the game you will be free to communicate with anyone still in the game through any means at any time.
You cannot communicate with people not in your tribe at any time.

Participation

This game depends on everyone participating. Due to the nature of the game it is unfair to bring in a sub late into the game. Of course not everybody can maintain the same level of activity. At the minimum please be able to at least check the thread once on most days, and be able to submit every TC vote in a reasonable timeframe and compete in most challenges.

Angleshooting

Lying is not only allowed, it is expected.

Quoting or paraphrasing communications with or PMs from the mod is not allowed.

Posting during TC is not allowed.

Discussing the game outside the thread is not allowed, unless specifically included in the permitted ways.

Posting in the thread after you're voted out is not allowed at all. Not even to say "damn" or "go alliance" of anything of that nature.

If you are ever unsure about whether something is or is not allowed PM the game mod and ask.

You have 50 PMs for this gameday

OTI and savagetilt will have an advantage for the first immunity challenge

Myself and Halpert had to pick the tribe name, flag, a motto and discuss one player from each tribe to get an advantage at the IC.

I will be sending 5 PM's.

45 PM's LEFT

3PM (42)

Sounds good

for those who don't understand the tribe name it is from Survivor Redemption Island and is just a huge joke one of the games GOAT's used. The motto is also from that season and is from the FTC...

starts at around 1:32 http://youtu.be/fmAJgiBrgfU

Honestly couldn't care less about team name and motto at this point.

Seems pointless w/ 1 tribe.

I figured to give you some time to chat before we get to challenges, but since it can't hurt we'll get right to it and I'll just set very generous deadlines.

Immunity Challenge - Sheep

This is a game of sheep. Your aim in answering these questions is to match answers with as many of the other players as possible.

If you have further questions about what a sheep game is, please see the sticky at the top of this forum. You can also look through these two threads, which are reveal threads of two games...you will get the idea quickly.

legend42's No Excuses Sheep:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59...nockin-445158/

OutKicked's Double Shot Sheep:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59...reveal-434695/

Additional rules:
You are allowed to do research if you wish. I am allowing you to use the internet, books, old threads, ask your friends (as long as they're not in the game), etc...be aware that research can at times be counterproductive.

What you are NOT allowed to do is collude with other players participating in this game so that your answers match and you get a better score.

I reserve the right to alter anything in the game at any point if I feel it is in the best interest of the game.

If you try to combine multiple similar answers into one such as "soap / body wash" or "coat / jacket", I will take the first item you list as your answer. That being said, I will be making lump / split decisions according to my judgment. Of course questions where the answer calls for two items may be answered with two items and that answer will not be truncated.

Name a laid back european city
Name a territory from risk
Who is the best challenge competitor left in the game?
Who is the most loyal player in the game?
Who is the most likely to win the game?
If you could bring one evicted player back, who would it be?
What was the most fun challenge?
Name an animal seen in the jungle
Name a animated movie from the early 2
Name a mutant from the x-men

Deadline for submission is Saturday noon

sorry typo

Name a animated movie from the early 2000s

For the other question, there are no incorrect answers in sheep

Also, I forget, don't send you answers to me, send them to kioshk, who has been gracious enough to help me with this challenge

Murlonio...... LOL. When Rob announced the meaning behind that tribe name my wife and I busted out hardcore in front of the TV. He convinced the whole tribe that is was some BS name for togetherness or something like that; when in reality it was a nickname for one of his wife's stuff animals.

LOL, so totally awesome.

Also, I suck at sheep... I'm way better at peehs

Oh yeah, reserving 5 PMs.

I watched FvF recently and I saw Eric made up the tribe name he suggested at the marge as well. Not sure if this has happened other times, but I'm surprised Rob got so much credit for that when it wasn't even an original joke.

Right but in that one though (if I remember) the name Eric came up with didn't even sound like it belonged to the local dialect of the region.

Murlonio; which Rob made up; fit in very well with Nicaraguan language.

Make a new skype chat imo

plus he was getting an old-fashioned from cbs so they edited everything he did to seem more awesome.

Ugh I'm being forgetful today.

OTI and savage's advantage is they can choose one answer which will automatically score =to the sheep for that question. Just write sheep instead of an answer.

used 1 pm. reserving 3.

4 PMs used

yeah so true. those editors are going to need a long shower. erik should get more credit.

also gl guys!

reserving 6 PMs

reserving 5 PM's

wtf i use subscriptions i almsot didnt know this thread existed

wait there are how many people, and how many people are reserving how many pms?


dfsfaesohifasdoi

i know we are one tribe, but lets spread the wealth a little

i wont reserve any i guess because the old other tribe already reserved 25 and we reserved 3.

and ive received just 1 out of these 25, from jim

but its good that we are workign together

ok my rant is over

after i get pms, ill likely respond if there are any pms left

but lets all be fair and make sure we all have enough to communicate

nobody should be resefving 5 imo except maybe jim and cash

it should be 4 pms per person with jim and cash getting 5

so i will RESERVE 4 PMS

and if anyone can cut down on their number so all can get their share, that would be sweet

sup sunshine

used 2 pms

sweet thats 27 for your tribe!

Sup lovemuffin. did you bring a razor to the island, or do your balls look like a porcupine?
