OK, so my other game related thread is now a lulzy spur-of-the-moment thread. Note that doesn't mean I'm trying to get quotes, it's my place to post my rage/lolz/feels/etc. This thread is intended to be a more serious thread, and it might be more lengthy.

So, impressions of Blue are very bad right now. They seem to be lacking in communication, and their TC will probably be very interesting. I predict either a close vote (the much more interesting option) or a near-unanimous Emoer (the "not as interesting but still could provide some info" option) vote-off. Red seems to be much more together. I can't say who would go home come their first TC, but I'd bet it's not Merry, Pippin or Tom. They all seem very strong. I hope their not all vets to Survivor.

Green tribe seems to be somewhere in the middle. The whole reason we lost the first challenge was because of Saruman not showing up (if you're someone actually good at challenges, sucks to be us, but if you're kondi in disguise or something, oh well), and this challenge's loss was due to Faramir's direct lack of communication. It's setting him back from the rest of us, and everyone else is feeling it. He's probably next to go at this rate.

Galadriel is almost for certain xofelf. From the chats we've had over AIM, her knowledge of the series, and the PMs we've exchanged has made me certain of this. Treebeard reminds me of someone, but I'm not quite sure, Cybele, maybe? Once I get something more serious hammered out, I'll throw it in the other thread. Sam reminds of TheBadOne from his play in other Survivor games I've watched, and it makes sense he'd choose the companion character. That's right, I'm meta-guessing the other players. Wormtongue is leaving me mystified right now. He's not someone I talk to regularly, that's for sure. Is he one of those players Nich stated that Crazy was trying to find off another site? He might also be the Mish Mash newbie, xtopherusD. Join date is right, to. Longshot guess at Reck because he looks like he knows what he's doing.


So, to explain my game so far, I haven't been trying to hide who I am too much, and I'm sure it shows. Anyone smart or that I talk to over AIM on a decent basis) probably knows by now. First person I talked to was Sam, mostly because I expected him to be TheBadOne. That didn't get very far, so I sent out contacts to Treebeard and Faramir. Faramir's, obviously, didn't get very far. I CAN'T TALK TO SOMEONE WHO POSTS IN IMAGES. Treebeard's got somewhere, but not very far. Then Galadriel talked to me, and it just sort of flowed. She asked about allies, and (of course, not being stupid), I said yes. She directed me to Wormtongue, and we seem to flow fairly well also. We're also allied, but I believe that he wants to combine the two groups into one. This seems like a good idea to me. Now, this is where it gets funny. Sam has also, pretty much out of the blue, asked for an alliance. I've accepted it, but this is obviously not my main alliance. It's much more of a side thing, and I expect the same thing from Sam, really. I've already explained Saruman's vote out. He's a no-show. Can't have it.


So, that's my rant for now. Feel free to ask questions/etc.

Hello again, it's been a while. I've returned with a few more questions for you to answer.

[01] Have there been any new developments since we last spoke? Have you made any new friends, or enemies?

[02] While Challenge 04's Tribe Swap may have been a harmless joke, how do you think you would fare if the tribes were to ever be mixed? What personalities on the other tribes do you potentially see yourself working together with? Who do you see as a threat?

[03] Challenge 04 asked every player to rank the remaining players according to their respective threat levels. Does your placing [15th weakest] concern you?

It's 3 am, so I'll answer these. But I might develop on the at another time:


1. I literally JUST allied with Treebeard. So um, I'm allied with the entire tribe now, minus Faramir. That may cause an issue later, but I hope not.

2. I'd work well. Making new (and potentially temporary) allies is easy for me. I'd survive for a bit. Galariel and I have decided to try to keep Nazgul & Haldir around, because they're funny, but I want to work with Halabar & Tom. Either way, it would work out.

3. I'm proud of it. I've deemed myself as a threat in the early game, but far enough out of site to not be #1. I could hide behind Tom for a TC or two in merge, because let's face it, he'll get there. I might lay off posting a shitload in the GD area now, to ease off the threat level a bit more. People will expect something to be up after Faramir goes.

I'm going to take a stab at some of these pairings.

Shadowfax & myself - "Love affair"
Tom & Wormtongue - Highest and lowest ranks
Pippin & Radagast - They tied for Challenge 1.

More to (potentially) come later.

We meet again. Gold suits you.

I've some more questions that I'd like to ask.

[01] Walk me through your experience with the Team twist. Any developments? How was your partner?

[02] The long-expected Tribe Swap has finally arrived, do you have any plans?

Why thank you! I think so to!

1) Eh. I didn't particularly like Shadowfax. We never really talked.

2) Shadowfax wants me to break off from Galadriel/Sam (yeah right), with him and Merry (who apparently doesn't post much, lol). Halbarad is awesome, although I think he's Nich.

So, I got to be the deciding vote. Not bad. I never trusted Shadowfax anyways. Because of it, I've made a much more loyal friend of Halbarad, and I've learned that Boromir and him are going to be good buds, so if I get one allied, I may as well have both. This is good.

But yeah, if we go back, I think Merry should be next.

OK, so this was the list at Challenge 4:

1. Wormtongue, 216 points
2. Haldir, 205 points
3. Sam, 197 points
4. Aragorn, 176 points
5. Gothmog, 169 points
6. Treebeard, 165 points
7. Legolas, 153 points
8. Halbarad, 151 points
9. Shadowfax, 137 points
10. Pippin, 135 points
11. Nazgul, 134 points
12. Boromir, 133 points
13. Radagast, 125 points
14. Faramir, 119 points
15. Gollum, 111 points
T-16. Galadriel, 98 points
T-16. Merry, 98 points
18. Tom Bombadil, 70 points


And this is the list now:

1. Wormtongue, 216 points
2. Haldir, 205 points
3. Sam, 197 points
4. Aragorn, 176 points
5. Gothmog, 169 points
6. Treebeard, 165 points
7. Legolas, 153 points
8. Halbarad, 151 points
9. Shadowfax, 137 points
10. Pippin, 135 points
11. Nazgul, 134 points
12. Boromir, 133 points
13. Radagast, 125 points
14. Faramir, 119 points
15. Gollum, 111 points
T-16. Galadriel, 98 points
T-16. Merry, 98 points
18. Tom Bombadil, 70 points

Boromir or Sam are next. If it's Boromir, then a really high number of top-level threats are being eliminated. Welp, not what I want right now.
