SC Discussions

SC #5

Jeff:
Well, Annan, welcome to your first ever Security Council. Let's get to a quick discussion.

First off, what do you think is going to happen next in this game?

How are you going to vote this round?

How important are alliances going to be in this game?

What do you think of this tribe?

Jon, any thoughts on anything whatsoever?

You have 24 hours to submit your votes.



Stacy:
Stacy:
First off, what do you think is going to happen next in this game?

I think we will merge. Or switch up the tribes. Or do nothing.

How are you going to vote this round?

Oh gee. Let me think......

I am going to vote for JFP. His complete inactivity has hurt our tribe.

How important are alliances going to be in this game?

If we merge, very important. Actually, even if we don't merge, alliances are always very important.

What do you think of this tribe?

I think we are an amazing tribe! With one exception, we have strong, dedicated players. We've dominated the game so far, and without JFP, we will be even stronger. I really hope we don't have a tribal switch



Tina:
First off, what do you think is going to happen next in this game? - i think soon, or eventually we will have a tribal shakeup. I hope not though.

How are you going to vote this round? - No surprise, Johnny has been inactive for quite a while now, I just hope he's ok.

How important are alliances going to be in this game? - Very important, you can't survive very long in this game without alliances, without no one to back you up.

What do you think of this tribe? - Greatest tribe ever, with an inactive member we lasted this long without going to TC. Hopefully we don't mix tribes soon...



Tom:
First off, what do you think is going to happen next in this game?
I think we will be having a pick em from those two people who won the captain position

How are you going to vote this round?
I'm voting for JFP- Obvious reasons
How important are alliances going to be in this game?
Very important there was a lot of talk of a monster pre game alliance before the game comprising of Stephanie and others and everyoen else needs to allign to take that out
What do you think of this tribe?
I love this tribe- I love everyone here but JFP. Again he is all talk and not walk



Rudy:
Hi Jeff. Didnt want to see you for a while but its ok under the circumstances.

Quote:
First off, what do you think is going to happen next in this game?

I think we will end up with 2 tribes of 7, probably like Tom says, with the captains choosing the tribes.

Quote:
How are you going to vote this round?

No question, Fairplay is gone.

Quote:
How important are alliances going to be in this game?

They are always very important. I have also heard about 2 different huge pre-tribe alliances but I hope they arent true.

Quote:
What do you think of this tribe?

I truly love my tribe, with Fairplay too. Cause Fairplay allowed me to see that the other people here with me are strong, loyal and very determined. How many other tribes in these games can work their asses off with someone who has been inactive for over a month and still pull out wins?!

[Rudy]

SC #8

Jeff:
Well, Waldheim, welcome to Security Council. Before we vote, let's get to some questions.

What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win?

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change?

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils?

Why do you think your tribe should keep you?

How are you going to vote this week?

You have 24 hours to submit your vote.



Ozzy:
What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win?

I think it was a pretty nice challenge. I think that we did the best we could to win this challenge, i mean... we only didnt win because of 3 minutes!

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change?

Adapting is part of this game, whoever fails to do so... will get voted out. I think the game will become a little more dirty and mean for some people when it gets down to merge.

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils?

Everyone in this tribe is strong and i ADORE every single person in this tribe, that's what will make it different.

Why do you think your tribe should keep you?

Because i proved that i could rock at challenges and that i can do my best for the tribe. I think that's all i can say for my tribe to pick me.



Alicia:
omg i forgot i'm not on firefox, and my nicely done answers disappeared when i clicked on a link someone sent me and it opened here.

Grr



Steph:
Well, Waldheim, welcome to Security Council. Before we vote, let's get to some questions.

What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win?
-- I don't know. I sat out. It sucks we lost. Can't we have a beauty pageant challenge? I think our tribe will win it hands down.

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change?
-- OMG that would be like sooo chaotic. Merge is what I'm personally gunning for right now and I do hope I make it there.

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils?
-- I think in this SC people would think about two things now, the next tribal challenge, or the merge. Keeping the tribe strong is great, but since we had that hint about the merge, you can't help but think about making some move that will hopefully help you get yourself further during the merged game.

Why do you think your tribe should keep you?
-- My tribe should keep me because I am loyal to my tribemates and I follow the rules of this game.

How are you going to vote this week?
-- I can't tell you right now, I'm still working on it.

You have 24 hours to submit your vote.



Alicia:
What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win?
The challenge was fun,and we did our best.

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change?
Well, I guess a lot might change. But i hope I do make merge in this game at least

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils?
It's a more difficult vote compared to the previous TC I attended, we;re all active, and we;re all contributing to challenges, and we all communicate with each other.

Why do you think your tribe should keep you?
I'm loyal, nice and I contribute to challenges

How are you going to vote this week?
Not sure yet...



Rudy:
Hi Jeff. Sucks to be here to be honest.

What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win?

I thought it was a fun challenge. We were great so the only thing is we needed to be faster. I think we did our best though.

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change?

Well I think a merge will happen eventually but I think you were teasing us with that phrase. I dont think it will happen right away. Of course whenever there is a merge, the game changes in that new alliances form or old ones come together but its definitely more hectic because I think players need to try to get to know everyone and form bonds and be active. Way more people to have to contend to.

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils?

Well I was only at 1 SC before and that was a no brainer, we voted out an inactive person. Everyone is active now so this is much harder.

Why do you think your tribe should keep you?

I think my tribe should keep me because I am active and loyal and try hard in challenges and everything else to keep the tribe safe and together. I am available pretty much all the time so thats a benefit to have in case we do not merge.

How are you going to vote this week?

I am not sure if there is a merge so my thought is to make sure that Waldheim stays as strong as possible so we win all challenges while we are together.



Kathy:
I signed in real fast to let you know I have Qs to answer here and talking to do with folks. I have scheduled doctor's appointment that I cannot be late for (again) due to games/computer. And other life stuff I must attend to this afternoon. I should be back after 5, my time, and will do the best I can to get on asap. Will be on this evening. I have not voted. Thanks in advance for understanding my delay today.



Ozzy:
Skiped this one!

How are you going to vote this week?

Defenitely on what will help me to get further in this game, while keeping this tribe together.



Danni:
What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win?
I liked the challenge, I just really, really, really wish the challenges would be put up at different times! A lot of people who cannot reach the challenge early enough are being voted out first.

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change?
To be honest, I do not know at this point.

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils?
Because here, the game gets strategic. In the past, it has just been pick off the weakest player, I guess.

Why do you think your tribe should keep you?
Because I'm a player who won't give up. I will do whatever I can do stay in the challenges. Though I have swim practice an hour after school lets out, I've been coming home for thirty minutes before practice just to check this site. Its a hell of a burden, but its something that I can do to help the tribe.

How are you going to vote this week?
Hopefully with the majority.



Tina:
What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win? - I don't think much could have been changed, our tribe did very good even though we lost... maybe the one difference would be later challenge times?

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change? - Well for me, i would freak out. The game focuses a lot more on alliances at that point.

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils? - This is definitely my hardest vote because everyone on this tribe I consider to be a good friend of mine.

Why do you think your tribe should keep you? - I really want to stay and play this game longer. I don't think i've had a fair opportunity to do all I can for the tribe, and I want to prove that now.

How are you going to vote this week? - With what seems to be the majority... and again I'm really sorry to the person I voted for, i hope you can forgive me.



Kathy:
What did you think of the challenge and what could've been done better in order to win?

I loved the challenge! Without Ozzy we would have been slower. I don't see anything we could have done better. I missed Ozzy's post to use anagram solver, but after typing our answers did think of that and then quickly made a guess that made sense. I waited for confirmation from Alicia and Rudy and then sent it. (I proofread my typing because spelling would count I am sure.) I may have been able to be a minute faster, but not 3 to send in and beat Thant.

Some people are expecting a merge; if that happened, how would the face of the game change?

It would be individual for challenges, and for me I would not be the fastest here in the game. I would be able to talk to everyone in the game then! :-) Some would seek out allies from first tribes and see how that would work with any new plans/promises made. It would be a big merge!!

How will this Security Council be different from previous Security Councils?

If still on Old Waldheim, I would have been very upset to vote against anyone - we were a close tribe that worked very well and had fun. Now we are on a larger tribe that seems split. Everyone has tried to get to know me and communicate. I was hoping not to be here, but of course people have discussed voting - and that has changed often it seems to me.

Why do you think your tribe should keep you?

I can be here for the challenges, even though it is hard on me. I work hard and try to organize, listen, and contribute during challenges. And my typing was even good on this challenge, Jeff! I want this tribe to do well in teh rest of the game.

How are you going to vote this week?

My vote will be based on who I beleive I can trust most, and on who I think wants me around longer than this vote. Why do we have 24 and not 48 hours for voting like Thant did?

Steph, I appreciated what you said about following the rules for this game, and think you gave a very important reason. I agree with that.

Hmmm....two very interesting and telling statements. I wonder what they're planning. Two very good ideas IF we are merging, very bad ideas if we are not merging.

SC #9
Jeff:
Well, Boutrous, welcome to your first Security Council as a merged tribe. From here on out the game is going to get trickier. Before we vote, let's get to some questions.

Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?

Alicia, was winning immunity this week important?

Sundra, do you feel not submitting for this challenge is going to hurt you?

You have 24 hours to submit your vote.



Steph:
Jeff....

There are 11 people to talk to for each of us.

Not all of us are online at the same time.

Can you extend voting to 48 hours?



Kathy:
- Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

Yes, I played one season. Five of those people are still in the game. Only one was my tribal ally through the merge - we never voted for each other. Every game is a new start hopefully.


- What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

Trust, respect, promises I made and have been made to me - a combination with messages when allowed to talk. Most important - to not be confused or discouraged at communication. I've tried hard and am so tired.


- Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?

It makes it much harder - I don't like the number 12 anymore.

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?

I haven't heard my name mentioned. "secuity" council - a double meaning I suppose in a game?

"You have 24 hours to submit your vote." Yes, I agree with Steph's request - you said you might return to the 48 hours this time, Jeff - it was a problem last time.

To my fellow All-Stars - Real life is crazy for me right now and I must attend to it and get some things straightened out again today - I didn't think I would sign in to do this. Am trying - just lousy timing for me. I have spent time when I could trying to talk to all the people I could - did my best to let people know what I think, when I had time. If we get the 48 hours I will try tomorrow and wait as long as possible to vote. I think tomorrow should be better hope so.



Sundra:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how? Hmm I wouldn't say so. An alliance is an alliance at the end of the day and all serve the same purpose so I don't think they are 'different', more important definatly as it's all stars so everybody is a strong player, but not different no, IMO anyway.

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out? In a nutshell I think it's "what I feel is going to benefit me the most in the long run" because that's all I have to go on.

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise? Hmm, it could go both ways. The optimists would say yes because there are more people to play with, so more options become available. Being a pesimist I say no because it's more people to beat.

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council? I don't. This is all stars, it's not your usual F12 game scenario, all of us have proven we are good players so nothing would surprise me, so I don't feel secure whatsoever, you'd be a fool to feel secure.

Sundra, do you feel not submitting for this challenge is going to hurt you? Oh there's definatly that chance. I look at people who don't submit as lazy and boneidle, and start being all melodramatic and saying they don't deserve to be here. But I hope they realise I'm not inactive, lazy, boneidle etc and that I do want to be here, I do make the effort and that it was a genuine mistake. I had been playing the game, and although my 3000 didn't compare to Alicia's, it was definatly a personal best.



Rudy:
Hello Jeff.

Quote:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

Different in that there are new people in the different alliances. I think everyone knows what an alliance is and how it hurts or benefits them so the use or term of alliance is the same but the groups are different. But again, I only played in 2 games, and for me, I am not alligned with the same ones I had alligned with before.

Quote:
What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

For me most important is to keep my allies safe and happy and keep me safe for as long as possible.

Quote:
Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?

Personally I think the higher the number the harder the game. More people to talk to, more to worry about, more to keep track of.

Quote:
How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?

I never feel safe unless I have an immunity necklace around my neck.

Quote:

I also agree with Kathy and Steph here that it should go back to 48 hrs to vote. With personal issues and life, and sometimes faulty computers , things happen to slow us down and we could use the extra time. If you had planned to speed up the game I could understand the quick Security Councils so we can move on, if you plan a round a week, the 48 hrs makes the week feel like there is less down time with us just waiting around doing nothing. I'd prefer the 48 hrs also, at least until we get the number of players still in the game much lower. Steph is right, we have more people to talk to so we need the extra time. Thanks for listening.

Good luck everyone.



Tina:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how? - I think the alliances are different, people aren't alligned with the same exact people every single time, if they did it'd be so obvious and maybe a little boring after a while.

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out? - Who your allies are. Everyone in this game is a friend, but I have to keep the people I was with the longest. Every vote hurts to make though.

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise? - Harder, it means more people to have to vote out.

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council? - I feel somewhat safe but definitely not 100% safe without immunity.

24 hours, ay de mi.



Rudy:
Quote:
ay de mi

What does that mean?



Tina:
It's something we use in Spanish, I think it's like oh no or something like that. I'm not sure of it's exact meaning but something to that effect.



Rudy:
Like oh my gosh?



Jeff:
kay then, I guess you are right... I'm extending the deadline to 48 hours.



BJ:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

I dont believe they are different because making an alliance with someone may change from season to season but im not to sure

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

With my vote which such a tough vote because were all so strong but for the person who I dont know much about and who i think is strong also.

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?

Much harder i think i really dont know why its just like everyone is so strong and this is the first vote and its already soo sooo hard imagine when its gets to smaller numbers!

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?

Im not feeling secure when it comes down to Security Council cause you just never know.. one sec it could be one person the next sec it could be someone else you never know



Rudy:
Just for info Jeff, it was a good choice. The site was down for me for almost an hour from when I first noticed and I noticed it was back up around 10pm tonite.



Stacy:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

Very different. With so many players from such a range of seasons, old alliances aren't entirely logical.

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

I have to consider both short-term and long-term effects of the vote. It's early enough to adjust my plans to make a short-term deal with someone for long-term gain.

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?

It's a big number. For me, the merge has been harder than usual.

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?

I never feel secure unless I have the necklace. Ever.



Alicia:
Alicia, was winning immunity this week important?

Immunity is always very important in this game, I'd never feel safe without it. So yes, immunity this week is important



James:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?
Yes, a lot of the alliances are based on the past series.

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?
How it's going to help me. If you're going to vote off someone you just don't get along with instead of who's really a threat, I am wondering why you made merge (think Courtney vs. JR) Also, alliances matter.

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?
Easier.

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?
Not secure at all. Not unless I have immunity.



Kathy:
Alicia, would you please answer these questions, too? Thanks.

"Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?"

If I ever divorce my husband and you dump Julie, I'm going to hook up with you.



Ozzy:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

I think they are a little bit. I mean, this time around you have people that are returning from different seasons. Some people were pretty tight in their seasons, but some others werent. This time around, you have to work with people that may indeed like you or hold a HUGE grudge against you.

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

What's going to take you further, and what's going to be the best for you in the short and long term.

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?

Its gonna make it harder. If we would've remain in tribes, then the tribe could pull a win and ultimately get the numbers, but this time we are mergining at 12 with 2 6 even numbered tribes, and 4 previus tribes that are still represented here, so it makes it harder.

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?

I dont wanna pull a *Micronesia Ozzy* here so i dont feel safe in at this Tribal Council considering the fact that i was the vote last round.



Tom:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?

If they were the same I would be a little shocked because I'm talking to some of the people i've hated the most in previous Forumsnet series.

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?

I'm considering who I told the truth to when the individual asked for it and then has cut off all communication since I told this person the truth. I don't really respect that.

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?

I think it makes it much harder because you have many conflicting desires and clearly only one desire is going to trump them all because only one person is leaving today (as far as i know)

How secure do you feel about your position on this tribe for this Security Council?

Honestly- I'm not going to give some BS answer. I feel ok. I've heard two dominant names before coming to this Security Council and I believe that one of those individuals are going to leave.



Alicia:
Are alliances in this game different from previous seasons? If so, how?
They are different, and yet they are the same

What are the most important things to consider when deciding who you will vote out?
Alliances, friendships, and what will help me and my allies get further in the game

Twelve is a fairly large merge. Do you think that this is going to make the merge harder or easier than it would have been otherwise?"
I think it's harder.

SC #10

Jeff:
Welcome Boutrous to Security Council. And also welcome Ozzy, our first juror. He will be present at all Security Council meetings and will be listening to everything you say. However, there is to be no communication between the jury and those still in the game.

Now, let's get to our regular discussion.

What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?

Tina, how does it feel to have that immunity around your neck?

James, you had a bit of a scare last week. How are you feeling now?

You all have 24 48 hours to submit your votes.



James:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?
Voting someone out, duh

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?
Yes

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?
Too much.

James, you had a bit of a scare last week. How are you feeling now?
Still scared.



Ozzy:




Sundra:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council? Those 30 seconds where you drag out the votes, it gets me every time.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you? Not at all. We all know it's a game, after all we are all stars so providing nobody does anything which is really unforgivable, then we shouldn't have a bitter jury.

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all? I think they are always there to an extent. However, I think last SC proved that it's not Waldheim vs Annan vs Thant vs Ki-Moon.



Ozzy:




Sundra:




Steph:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?
-- For me the most difficult aspect is voting off someone, like duh. There are 3 convoluted steps in voting off someone: think of a person to vote for, find people who can vote for them, send your vote. Steps 1 and 2 are convoluted coz if step 2 doesn't work, you have to go back to step 1.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?
-- No it doesn't. If I ever make it to the finals, I know I have to take responsibility for what I did, and I am woman enough to do that.

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?
-- Haha, I know it affects the original Annan's voting. That group is tight, the tightest right now. Last TC, the two Thants were against each other, Silas and I, Ki-Moons, had to debate about the vote, and some in Waldheim didn't want to go with their group, so it's only Annan who seem to have no problem with voting as a group right now. Yes, I understand we are individuals, but Annan has the upper hand right now because they're playing as a group. Remember the TC when Gretchen was voted off in the merge of Season 1? That is what happens when a group controls a TC and the other players are playing, voting for themselves.



BJ:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?

I think just voting out one of the people you get so close with because we are right now a family and we all talk together in the tribe so its hard to actually have to pick someone to vote off..

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?

Its a game, and thats the way it always is.. Some jury members dont like you and theres the some that will, it always happens that way.. but it does scare you a little

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?

Maybe only a little because i think is showed last time but i think its still in back of everyones mind whats going on



Kathy:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?

answering these questions - I do not like tC chat/discussion by any name, but try to participate.

voting, as James said, or wondering about the vote - part this is the voting part of this game, and it isn't for president of anything.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?

no

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?

a little for me, I can't speak for others.



Tina:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council? - The actual process of voting someone out, I really hate this part of the game but it has to be done.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you? - Yes a little bit but I would hope that the jury would see that it's only a game and that it was nothing personal.

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all? - Well I think it always comes up but then again when you've had switches and mixups in the games that can always change.

Tina, how does it feel to have that immunity around your neck? - Great, I don't know if I would have needed it or not but that extra reassurance helps a lot.



Rudy:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?

Trying to decide on a vote that wont jeopardize myself nor the people I said I would keep safe...and seeing to it that we dont go home.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?

No! Actually that part of the game is most exciting for me..if I get that far! It a great way to hear feedback on what the other players thought of my gameplay and it makes me accountable for my actions during the game. It is also a great way to learn about myself to help me improve for later games, even if it is just improving my social skills, whether that is to learn to communicate more or learn when to shut up!

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?

A little. Its appears Annan to be the tightest group but that is not really the case. We all have ideas of who we want to keep around and trust me, they are not the same. We are tight in that we all communicate well, but we certainly dont agree on everything. I myself have gone outside of Annan to try to work and play with others.



Stacy:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?

Trying to jusitfy a reason to vote for one person rather than another.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?

Not really. As long as I can justify my votes with good reasons.

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?

I guess it all depends on the tribe. Some tribes obviously got along better than other tribes. But there are definately mixes within the original tribes and a lot of frienships outside of the original tribes.



Tom:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?

Making sure that I can get on the same page and that we can all be comfortable with a vote.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?

Not at all! I look forward to it! Why would I play these games and vote people off if I didn't want to get to the end and answer jury questions?

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?

I think that some Tribal Lines have been blended with some other color. Its like taking art class- you mix a little of this with a little of that and then BAM new color! So I'd say things are mixing up


Silas:
What is the most difficult aspect of Security Council?
Knowing that we have to vote another person out of this game. I actually really like everyone in the game and it really sucks, can't we all win? Ha.

Does the thought of possibly having to face the people you vote out on the jury scare you?
Always. You always face the risk of upsetting people and making people angry and then having to answer to them. I always fear the jury. Always.

To what extent have previous tribal lines influenced the voting at Security Council? A little? A lot? Not at all?
For me, honestly its just me and Steph left from Ki-Moon and two people can't really affect the whole vote, so for me there are no more tribal lines, though I am sure it pays a big part for some of the folks that have a lot of allies left.

Good luck everyone

SC #11

Jeff:
Welcome Boutrous to Security Council and also welcome your jury thus far, Ozzy and Alicia. Let's have a short discussion before we get to the votes.

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?

Tom and Bobby Jon, is there any reason that you didn't submit anything?

Stacy, you got the Glosoli question right and I was very impressed. So how did you know that? (Yes, it's a random question, I'm just curious.)

James, how does it feel to have immunity right now?

Steph, giving away immunity is usually a bad idea. What do you have to say about your decision?

If anyone has anything else to say, you may say it now.

You have 48 hours to submit your vote. (Results may possibly be late, just so you know. Don't be worried if the votes are somewhat late getting read, nothing is wrong, I'm just anticipating being busy in the coming days.


Sundra:
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say? I'd say it started out pretty tense, got interesting and ended [so far] with a bit of a surprise ... but I'm not complaining, I'd say it's been a fairly good round.

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council? I don't think 'qualities' come into it, the games full of too many surprises to be able to pin point certain qualities of a finalist.

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)? 2 heads are better than 1?



James:
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?
This round is shocking.

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?
You'd have to be great at challenges to win immunity, have good social skills for alliances, and you have to have trust and honor, so that others can see that in you and go with you.

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?
I asked my friends from school, they were a huge help. I asked around 10 people

James, how does it feel to have immunity right now?
It makes me feel safe, and it just feels great



BJ:
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?

This round i would say was normal and interesting.. then by the end it was like WOAH! Shocking results and like wow!

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?

I think the one quality is trust.. You have to have the people you talk to believe in you and trust you, because then they will understand you and stuff! You need to win challenges of course and just be yourself

Tom and Bobby Jon, is there any reason that you didn't submit anything?

My reason was that since it was Memorial Day i had to work.. and a long day at that.. 10am-like 9ish.. it was really busy i got home and like fell right to sleep! And im sorry



Stacy:
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?

Frustrating! (The challenge was really difficult and... er... challenging.)

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?

Good alliances, good strategy, and good luck!

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?

Some I recognized. Some looked vaguely familiar, so I googled things like "boys bands" or "female singers." From those lists, I searched the videos. I also just scrolled through the youtube videos. Quickly. I totally missed the N' Sync one.

Stacy, you got the Glosoli question right and I was very impressed. So how did you know that? (Yes, it's a random question, I'm just curious.)

I googled something like "music video drum by water" (but that wasn't exactly it) and the phrase was in a sentence of an article about the group. I typed in the name of the group on youtube and there it was. Later, when I started doing just a quick look at all of the youtube music videos, it was on something like the seventh page too.



Steph:
^ that's awesome, Stacy! I also want to share that I found out #14 through luck. I don't know what came to me, but that song suddenly jumped in my mind. I looked at the video, and at first the one I saw was the version they aired here in Asia. I noticed there's a US version and watched it, and whoa! There it was.

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?
-- I will say this round should be sent to the electric chair. (get it? one sentence? lol lame)

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?
-- 2 heads are better than 1. I was so pathetic I even asked my co-worker about some of the videos (he named a few!) then asked random people on AIM.

Tom and Bobby Jon, is there any reason that you didn't submit anything?
-- I feel bad for BJ, because it was supposed to be a holiday and he was working! I know how it feels, I rarely get holidays myself.

Steph, giving away immunity is usually a bad idea. What do you have to say about your decision?
-- I agree that it's usually a bad idea, but I'm taking a risk here, and I want to prove to other people that I can be trusted with my word. They know what I'm all about and I think this move, if I don't get voted off, will at least get others to trust me and believe in me. They would know that I am such a loyal ally and that I am willing to take risks for the benefit of the group and not just for myself.


Kathy:
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?

I was afraid searching for music videos would cause my computer to pick up spyware and it did.

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?

Challenge performance, trust your gut - maybe not always what you hear, don't assume anything.

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?

Identify the 2 you know, lol, work with those who are younger and have young friends who may know/watch music videos. Be the checker of answers found. The strategy developed during the challenge - I thought it would involve uTube but did not know how.

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council? - You need to stay loyal to your alliance, and stay active in all the challenges.

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)? - I actually didn't have one................... I probably should have given it more thought.



Rudy:
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?

I was extremely frustrated because music videos disturb me so I dont watch them which made for a very poor performance on my part, which I never like to do in challenges.

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?

Luck, foresight, trust (both ways) ....not necessarily in that order

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?

To do my best, to try to not get too frustrated, to try to help others with what little I could get, to NOT be the worst at this! lol



Silas:
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?

This was really hard, but I didn't find it any harder than any other challenge, I think it was pretty creative!

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?

Well, I think that people are going to start having to turn on each other at some point, and I know its hard because everyone in this game really does like each other. I guess you just have to be open-minded and listen to all your options if you are going to get farther, you can't be stubborn at this point.

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?

I recognized a lot on my own, and I asked my sister for help as well.

If anyone has anything else to say, you may say it now.

Good luck to everyone, truly.



Alicia:
*joins Ozzy in rolling eyes, although for a different reason*





Silas:
Is there a reason in every ForumsNet game I play that jurors are allowed to make comments after they are voted out? Just wondering. Not trying to start a fight, but it seems unfair that they have influence over the game after they have been voted out.


Steph:
I think their actions should be limited to smilies, to be honest.

*rolls eyes because he thinks Steph sucks so bad she must die in a car crash* seems a bit too much. lol. We shouldn't know what you are thinking about!



Rudy:
Personally I thought the smilies were sort of funny...but Silas, the host did tell Ozzy to not do it last round so dont no why it has continued. But I did think it was humorous...reminds me of Eliza from last season. Just my opinion. I dont think they should be able to make comments at all though, nor make quotes. Just the smilies.

Ozzy's above the rules.



Ozzy:
Ohh, i thought it was allowed to post smileys, and sorry bout that, didnt read Jeff post til just now. Wont happen again.



Alicia:
So, smileys are allowed, right?



Rudy:
Well, lol, that was just my opinion. I will find what the host posted last SC and put it here, and you all decide whether you should post nothing or anything. I am not the host so Sundra probably should not have quoted my opinion.


Jeff:
Smileys are allowed, sorry. Go ahead Ozzy. I thought about it more and I realized it's just like in the real Survivor when they do their facial expressions and stuff, so it's okay. Smileys are allowed but nothing else.



Rudy:
OK, well last SC, in the SC Votes thread, Ozzy posted smilies and a "bubble" comment which was supposed to signify his "thoughts." The host replied with this...........

You be quiet Ozzy, you're supposed to be on the jury.


My interpretation of it is that the jury should not make comments nor smilies at all...but I am not the host nor can I read his mind on whether smilies should be ok, or nothing at all should be allowed. I have never seen anything allowed before in any games I have played. Then again, I am not really complaining here, just helping to solve the mystery of the Host's rule.



Rudy:
Well there ya go! Thanks Jeff for clearing that up! lol



Tom:

Dissapointing

What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?

You have got to stick it out and take it to the limit right now- thats what it takes.

For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?

Don't do it- I don't know the music why waste my time

Tom and Bobby Jon, is there any reason that you didn't submit anything?

I don't know the music at all so it would have taken me at least a year to do that challenge



Alicia:

SC #12

Jeff:
Welcome to Security Council. It's time for another chat before we cast our votes. I know this is a different time for normal, but I hope you guys are okay with it. Welcome the members of our jury so far - Ozzy, Alicia, and Stacy. Now, let's talk.

Seeing how the game is down to 9 people, do you think that this vote is going to be split 5-4? Or is that something that you can't predict at this point?

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to?

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for?

Tom, you got the most coconuts at that challenge. What do you think about that?

Sundra, you got no coconuts at all and won the challenge. Why do you think no one gave any to you?

To the others, what comments do you have on the results of the challenge?

You all have 48 hours to vote. Here is a new rule until the end of my summer trip. Please send your votes to both Raymond and I by adding Raymond in the To line. This is so that either Raymond or myself can read the votes, depending on who is available. Plus, I need all the votes anyway for my records and stuff. So that's all. Good luck.



Sundra:
I mean this with no disrespect to Raymond, but is he now running the game with you? I just feel uncomfortable sending my vote to someone who could easily let others know, other players etc.

Anyway,

Seeing how the game is down to 9 people, do you think that this vote is going to be split 5-4? Or is that something that you can't predict at this point? The vote's been split pretty much each round, so I'd say it's likely, but you can never say for certain.

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to? Who I didn't want to win immunity and who I thought would be most likely to give me coconuts.

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for? Clearly they're a big factor as I think we all really liked Stacy, and had it not been due to her having 5 past votes, I don't think, well I know I wouldn't have necesarily 'wanted' to vote her out last round, but that's the way the ball rolled, and she went home, and we move on.

Sundra, you got no coconuts at all and won the challenge. Why do you think no one gave any to you? Because they all love me and want my babies?



Ozzy:




BJ:

I guess you could say that, but like Sundra said you never know what can happen... Everything changes in this game everyone must always be on their toes!

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to?

When i gave my coconuts i thought who would be giving to me and stuff like that.. and my banana to the person i thought would be giving me the most

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for?

It's very scary because I have so many stacked votes already and in the end they hurt you!

Good luck everyone!



Alicia:
EDIT: I forgot I'm not allowed to talk here.



Rudy:
(nods to Ozzy, Alicia, and Stacy)

Oh Im tired of the sugar coating answers that everyone is always giving. Here's the real truth, as I see it! HA Theyre targetting me in the next few weeks so what do I care to be timid and all afraid to speak my mind now. ha

Seeing how the game is down to 9 people, do you think that this vote is going to be split 5-4? Or is that something that you can't predict at this point?

Oh I honestly think its going to be a 5-4 vote unless someone finally decides to take a risk. That risk would have to come from the 4 vote group or the 4 voting group will be picked off. OR...it will be 5-3-1 because someone will take a chance from the 4 group. The 5 vote group is too scared to risk any bold move even though it will look better to the jury in the end! Let's get honest here everyone!

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to?

I made some deals and I kept my promises with those deals. I tried to win this and wouldve had the chance if eveyone kept their deals with me. I knew in my heart that BJ would "get even" with me so he got the banana..and I was right. I also figured that Steph would do the reverse psychology thing and block me and think I would block her so I did not give her the banana because I figured she would think I would block her so she would not give me coconuts. I was correct there too! lol FUN CHALLENGE!

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for?

Stacked votes wont come into play this week because the 5 person group doesnt have to worry about it this week. Being real again here. They will come into play big time in the next few weeks when after Tom goes, they will target me or Tina, while the rest have no choice but to go after those with the most votes. If those leave, then next week, the ones with the most will go unless saved by immunity and either Tina or I go then. Then each week it will be whoever has the most stacked votes. If anyone thinks stacked votes do not mean anything, they are sorely mistaken. Unless Steph or Sundra gets some votes soon, they will win the game unless an immunity saves someone else or someone breaks promises they have made. How's that for real answers?

Tom, you got the most coconuts at that challenge. What do you think about that?

Red herring to get me or Tina this week instead? hmmm Or just the truth and not afraid to admit it?

To the others, what comments do you have on the results of the challenge?

Mostly it was exactly how I predicted it would go. Sundra is a great person who is pretty honest and straightforward. That's why she was rewarded in this challenge and why she has no stacked votes. It is hard to dislike Sundra! Kathy is a under the radar person in that there are bigger fish to fry in this game so she goes undisturbed. I made some deals that were executed and almost allowed me to have a shot at it. They want out Tom, Tina and me so since the deals were made they had to make sure that Tom and Tina didnt win this. Pretty straightforward results.

I want to say one thing here...if this comes off as smug, or sarcastic or arrogant thats only cause you want to see it that way. If you get upset by something here, well my intention was not to do that to you. And I am not saying this cause I am a sore loser. I havent lost yet to be a sore loser. lol I decided to answer how I honestly feel about this game cause I am playing the game and its just that, a game. If you know me at all, I am not about to cower down to pacify feelings here. The vague answers that are always given is actaully pretty humerous to me and I decided to answer how I honestly feel this game is going and see what happens next. They are trying to get me out anyways, so how much more could answering honestly actually hurt me?

That is all.

Kathy:
(trying again to get post to show up)

First, congrats, Sundra! But no coconut pie for you, now ;-)

Seeing how the game is down to 9 people, do you think that this vote is going to be split 5-4? Or is that something that you can't predict at this point?
I have no idea what the numbers will be with this group of voters. I don't know everyone's vote. And this time I'm not as inclined to let others know my vote since I feel there is gossip/misunderstanding/whatever every round about my vote. When I tell someone my vote I don't expect it to be shared. I don't tell how other people vote - that's their business.

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to?

I made a coconut "deal" with one player for 0 each - I did that before in S1 (different player) That deal was honored. Loading one player with coconuts = to hope someone would not get immunity, and giving the banana to the player I thought may give me the most. I gave 1 and 2 out to make sure people could make pie, and we had to give to at least 2 players, so I split the last 3. I also changed my mind a few times.

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for?

Previous votes are a factor, I think, when voting with an even number of players. I have played 2 games where the player in the game with the most votes (and it was a lot) got to the finals, so it does not always matter in the end. There are other factors, too, of course when deciding who to vote for.

To the others, what comments do you have on the results of the challenge?

I was surprised and nervous reading down the results - the "banana factor" was interesting to see. I think you never know for sure how this type challenge would work - especially with that banana. I never did the challenge with that twist before.



Tom:
What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to?
I just gave mine to who i thought would give theirs to me. In the most part I was right. I knew I was going to be a target coming into this week and I don't think that I should go home. I have worked with people and made deals with them and I am not going to break those deals ever in this game. I'd walk out of this game before that would happen. If those people know that then I believe that this vote could be another crazy vote. If that doesn't happen then I'll be shocked and hurt emotionally very much.

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for?

Right now not very much. My vote is going to someone who I have wanted gone for a very long time in this game. I've wanted him gone week after week but the cards have never fallen correctly. Maybe this week they will

Tom, you got the most coconuts at that challenge. What do you think about that?

I take it as a complement. No joke! I'm glad that people think that I must be starving out here and decided to give me all of their coconuts. No- but from a game point of view I'm fine with it. It shows that people think I'm a threat in this game and that is a complement to me. I think this one vote will decide the rest of the game for people. If I go this round then I believe that we will see 5 people in the end and then I can't wait to see everyone have to "backstab" at that moment. If I stay this week I think it's pretty simple. People are going to get farther in this game if I stay than voting with the others because I only have a few deals. I am keeping those deals. If I my deals ever come in conflict with a vote then I'm leaving the game. If you look at that from the point of view that potentially 5 people are going to get to that same position with me then you can guarantee yourself a final 4 because I won't break my deal to those that I have promised since I have felt comfortable enough giving out a promise to them in hope that they would trust me.


To the others, what comments do you have on the results of the challenge?

Lets get this party started

I understand actually. If I were in your case, I probably would too. But I promise you guys. I won't reveal anything to anyone. Well, except the final vote reveal after all votes have been sent. Also the challenges during the time specified in the treemail. Also, I want to live up to MK's hosting capabilities. So ya, sorry if I don't.

Steph:

-- I am a worrier but I don't worry about how many votes someone will get as long as the person we are voting for goes home.

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to?
-- I took into account our "numbers". I asked around and found out some people are already giving certain people coconuts, so I just split mine between 2 people I don't want to win Immunity.

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for?
-- I think it's going to factor in some cases and is definitely game changing. Everybody loves Stacy but in order for some people to move forward, they had to vote for her.

To the others, what comments do you have on the results of the challenge?
-- I liked the challenge! Very original. As for the results, I wasn't surprised that Kathy and Sundra got the least coconuts.

Also would like to comment that I find it funny that Rudy is trying to sway people who she had voted for and tried to get out in the past couple of weeks.



Steph:
Alicia, please follow the rules.



Alicia:
Sorry



Tina:
Seeing how the game is down to 9 people, do you think that this vote is going to be split 5-4? Or is that something that you can't predict at this point? - I really can't say. It seems as if there's been some switching around of some people's votes lately, I really can't tell what's going on anymore.

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to? - Well, I feel as if I get along with most people here (even though I did get a whole bunch of coconuts, outside the game I mean) so I really just divided them up as evenly as I could.

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for? - Well it always plays a role in the vote, you just think... if I can just force a tie then everything will be ok.

To the others, what comments do you have on the results of the challenge? - I'm not really surprised at any of the results, we all know how the game is turning right now.

James:

Yes, the vote is probably going to 5-4. I think that is most likely, unless someone breaks off from the 5 and it becomes 4-4-1, or 4-5. In the tie, the one with stack votes is probably going.

What did you take into account when you were deciding who to give coconuts and the banana to?
I listened to what others thought I should do.

Stacked votes have ended the game for a few players here. How much of a role are stacked votes factoring into decisions on who to vote for?
Stack votes don't really play much of a role with my vote, but the time that they do count is who others vote for.

To the others, what comments do you have on the results of the challenge?
Interesting challenge, shows things about people.

SC #13

Jeff 2.0:
Sorry guys for the inconvenience.

Welcome to Security Council. It's time for another chat before we cast our votes. I am yet unsure as to times for TCs are announced or not, but if it is, then I apologize. Let's welcome the members of our jury so far - Ozzy, Alicia, Stacy and Tom, voted out at the last Security Council. Now, let's get on.

Rudy, any chance of you giving up that Immunity necklace?

To everyone:

What are you basing your vote on tonight?

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council?

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different?

You all have 48 hours to vote. The same rule applies as last TC. You need to send your votes to both me & MK, so that either MK or myself can read the votes, depending on who is available. Good luck guys.



Tina:

What are you basing your vote on tonight? - I'm not sure yet because I still don't know what to do... that's why I've been holding off on these questions all day.

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council? - No not really, the game has changed tides a while back ago now and I don't think anything would change now.

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different? - I didn't think I did too bad, I could have gotten higher if I had remembered to resend... and if I had slowed down and checked them over again lol



Kathy:
I just want to say I am concerned that Steph has not been around and hope he is ok.

What are you basing your vote on tonight?

First, who does not have immunity, whether Rudy will give it to someone. My thoughts for the vote have to do with the loyalty and respect I feel, promises, and to be true to what I think I can live with. I have thoughts on my vote but have not decided. I guess I should also think about the number of past votes since we are 8 voting.

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council?

I guess I will know after I read the results? I think this vote will be more difficult to predict. If I get votes I won't be surprised.

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different?

Those questions were hard enough and fun to work on - Shetland was the hardest for me. I bet we all knew some without research. I have no idea how I would have done with different questions - I just know I always work hard at challenges and enjoy trivia.

To the 2 jurors that wrote to me last week, I believe you should not have at this game site, and I did not read them. If your message was as a friend, then PM me at SEG or RGO and I will reply and be glad to hear from you.



Steph:
Hey, thanks for the concern Kathy!

I guess I owe everyone an explanation. This week was very hectic for me. I had deadlines to meet so I was not my usual online-wh*ring self. lol. But it's the weekend now and I've been looking forward to these 2 days of break from the job!

----

What are you basing your vote on tonight?
-- I will base my vote on what I think will keep me safe this week and will also help my game in the long run. I am out of the loop as of the moment and have not read PMs so not sure how the vote is going. It could be me this week.

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council?
-- Nah, I'm expecting all types of scenarios, from me getting voted off to Rudy quitting (lol), so no, I won't be surprised.

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different?
-- I don't think I'd have done well, because as I mentioned, I was so busy this past week and the only free time I get, I use it in running the other game I'm hosting right now.



Rudy:
(Nods to Ozzy, Alicia, Stacy and Tom.)

Rudy, any chance of you giving up that Immunity necklace?

Wow, immunity. Who'd a thunk it after sending in the answers 3 or 4 times! Of course keeping immunity keeps me safe, but I would and am considering the best course to take here..so I am not sure yet what I will do. Sometimes winning isnt everything tho it sure validates a great feeling of getting to the end. Sometimes showing loyalty to people is more important to me than winning is, tho winning sure would feel great! I will let you know what I decide.

To everyone:

What are you basing your vote on tonight?

The best course to take to get further in the game.

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council?

I would like to be surprised but I dont think I will be! I think its pretty clear cut where people are going to vote. But it would be very exciting to see the game take twists and turns too.

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different?

I wouldve still most likely sent in over and over til I was feeling confident. It was a fun challenge, thank you.



BJ:
*Waves to Jury*

What are you basing your vote on tonight?

I'm baseing my vote on which person is blocking me from making it further through this game

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council?

Actually yes, cause you really never know what can happen

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different?

I loved the questions this time.. I just had to resend and take my time so prob would have done the same thing.. Take my time and investigate as much as i could



Rudy:

Would you promise (and keep it) to self vote Steph, IF I agreed to quit?

Steph you love (to hate) me too much to see me quit!



James:
What are you basing your vote on tonight?
This vote is especially hard, we have to come up with an unanimous decision, and it is hard. I don't know how we will base it on.

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council?
Unless we agree, yes.

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different?
Well, I thought I got every one of them correct! I was so surprised I got half of them wrong I would have actually checked my answers and THEN send them in, if I wasn't in a hurry.



Sundra:
What are you basing your vote on tonight? Tina's getting my vote. I won't pretend otherwise. We don't speak to each other, I've no reason to not vote her out this round.

Do you think you'll be surprised with the results of this Security Council? Maybe, depends if people keep their word or not.

Also, how well do you think you'd have done had those questions been different? Still awful, I just didn't have the time.

Also guys, if you're going to use my name when telling people things, then at least let them be true. I'll happily name names if the 'culprit' wants to play dumb.

Oh and about Rudy's immunity, he says he'll let us know his decision? Surely that's not allowed especially now I've voted ... Jeff said you had to decide whether or not you're giving it away before people start voting.

Sorry about the fowl mood today, but I'm hugover, tired and had SO many rude customers today at work. Plus, I've no energy to butter things up no more, it's not meant in a nasty way at all. Plus, the fact people seem to insist on making up lies about me in this game, it all adds to the bad mood.



Rudy:

Oh Sundra I honestly dont remember reading it or where to find it how long I had to decide.

I actually offered my immunity to people and they refused it so I guess I will be keeping it. There, its official.



Jeff:
Concerning the immunity rule, I didn't exactly state it anywhere, but there is logic behind it. Basically, I didn't want people to vote for like Steve and then in the middle of the voting period find out that someone has just given Steve his or her immunity and suddenly have all their votes canceled out. That obviously does not make any sense. So the giving away immunity rule is basically the same as in the Philippines where you had to give away immunity before the votes were CAST, which means some forethought is needed. When Steph gave immunity to James, she included that she wanted to do that in her challenge submission. So, yeah, sorry if there was some confusion as I realize I never publically stated that rule anywhere. I wasn't expecting it to come up in this game as giving away immunity is so rare.



Rudy:
Thanks MK! Actually you are asking this old man (lady ) to remember that from nearly 3 years ago? ha

Well ya, it does take some foresight and since I didnt see the rule and we had 48 hrs to vote well I just didnt no. If you post the results and then the SC right after it, how much of the 48 hrs does the winner get to decide? Its not really fair to say forsight only. In the show, they have a day, a half day, the next day, whatever it is, its til the TC to decide. I think we need some time too sometimes.

Actually foresight, its not always so clear cut. So how much time do we actually get then? Can you make a rule to that please? Cause anyone who really knows me, knows that I have in the past and I almost this time DID give away immunity...I have done it in other games in the past and most do or should know I would do it if it was really needed and wanted.

I would like a clear idea of what the time span is for deciding please. Thank you.



Jeff:
Rudy, I'll think about it and get back to you on that one. You raise some good points, so I'll see what I can come up with.



Jeff:
And in case there was any confusion left on this issue, it's now official that Rudy has immunity this round and will definitely not be giving it away. In the future, I'll have to come up with some guidelines so that we don't have to go through this confusion again.



Rudy:
Thank you.

That kind of happened in SEG Micronesia #3 when LSG (JohnK in our series) gave supergoten (Tina here) Immunity when Ade and my votes were already casted. At least the host gave me and Ade a chance to resend our vote.



Jeff 2.0:
Oops...apaprently, I have overlooked this detail. Sorry about the confusion as well. I guess we'll just specify it next challenge. Also, don't forget those votes! Remember to PM your vote to BOTH me & MK.



Rudy:
Ya well I guess it could happen. I was being serious though, I really didnt no and had all intentions of saying yes or no as soon as I knew giving everyone enuf time to vote...Well now it should be fixed for good for all the upcoming games too! lol

Good luck everyone.



Jeff 2.0:
Guys, I won't be able to post results. My mom's telling me to sleep... But hey, maybe MK can post it. I'll PM him the TC votes & the TreeMail. I'm TRULY sorry. But it's either this, or possible temporary restricted online access.

Jeff:
Welcome everyone to another Security Council. It is now time for us to have a little bit of a discussion and then we will get to the vote.

Rudy and Kathy, how does it feel having immunity around your neck right now?

Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?

Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?

How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?

As usual, you will have 48 hours to submit your vote. Send to both me and Raymond.

(And since I forgot... >_<; Rudy and Kathy need to announce whether or not they will give away their immunity. Kathy has already announced she will keep her immunity, so only Rudy must announce it now.)



Steph:
Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?
-- Yes, it's getting more and more strenuous.

Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?
-- It's the same as before. Talk to everyone and see if I can survive each TC.

How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?
-- It's not a factor to me at all. You play the game for yourself, to get yourself further, without hurting too many people. I avoid backstabbing not because of potential jury votes but as consideration to the person's feelings.



Kathy:
Having been close to getting immunity 3 times now, it's good to have it. I always try at challenges and sometimes the reward feels nice. Like at star, lol. I'm keeping mine.

Decisions I make have to do with how I will feel about myself at the end of the game - when this is all behind us.

Strategy is different in some ways for me in this group of all stars but has not really changed. I still will always make decisions that I feel comfortable with and with the time and energy I have. I listen to those who write respectfully and reply and discuss if I can. Most people know that it's best not to push me - if I feel pushed, left out or put down, then I will be pushed away eventually from what people may want - I'll go with those who are respectful even if we have different ideas.



James:
Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?
To be honest, I don't feel as stressed out as before, like early merge.

Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?
No it hasn't.

How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?
Very big, you have to impress them with how you play the game. They look at your character, your values, etc. So right now, people might make moves to improve their standing with the jury.


Ozzy:




BJ:
Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?

Yes every challenge and every vote this game gets harder and harder cause the numbers are getting smaller and were alll getting closer

Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?

No i dont think so

How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?

I'm playing the game as honest and fairly as i can play it, im not here to impress everyone.. some people may like it and some people may not..



Alicia:




Rudy:
(nods hello to Ozzy, Alicia, Stacy, Tom and Tina.)

Sorry for the delay Jeff. I will be keeping my immunity.

Rudy and Kathy, how does it feel having immunity around your neck right now?

It feels good! I worked hard and fast to try to win because I am outnumbered here and I feel very vulnerable of going home very soon.

Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?

OMG YES! Each week I am still here I have to try to figure out how to keep myself here the next week. lol

Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?

Yep it has. When you see your alllies leave one after the other, you have to start changing your strategy.

How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?

Its not a factor at all for me. I am playing my game how I want to play it. Most of the jury know how I play. Even if they didnt, what I do is what I need to do and if the jury cant see the reasoning behind it, maybe if I get to the end, I can explain it to them. I am not doing anything to purposely impress them, but I would love for them to be impressed because of what I do! ;D



Sundra:
Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire? Yeah definatly. I mean, I weren't lied to at the start of merge, but now it's down to the wire ... I've been lied to. I can't abide being lied to unnecesarily, and I also find it laughable that they think they can get away with it without me bringing it up. Silas has told me that James has been telling him about a F4 of myself, Steph, BJ and himself which James denies saying. I asked them both flat out and they each say the other is lying, and although I have an incling, I genuinely don't know who is the bull$hitter, because neither has given me any reason to not trust them in the past, and I didn't expect either to lie to me, considering I've been nothing but honest to them. So, I'll ask you both ... can you both argue your way in here please? I want to know who the liar is, and I'm getting nowhere with PMs ... so whoever is telling the truth, please get angry and call the other out .... maybe add in an insult too for making a liar of you. Thanks.

Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge? Not really no, though to be honest I've never had a set in stone strategy.

How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay? For me personally it's not a factor at all. I please and impress nobody other than myself. I'm here to play a game, and if I make it to the end, then I'll happily explain everything to the jury, though it's not in my nature to kiss arse, so I won't start now, nor will I start should I make it to the end.



James:
Sundra, I haven't lied to you and I won't. Silas is bluffing. I haven't spoken to him since May 18. In fact, I'll even take a printscreen of my inbox and a printscreen of every message I've had with Silas and send it to you.

SC #15

Jeff 2.0:
Welcome to Security Council 15. It's time to inform me of camp happenings before we cast our votes. Let's welcome the members of the jury - Ozzy, Alicia, Stacy, Tom, Tina and Silas, voted out at the last Security Council. These jurors are here to merely observe or react (not to be confused with interact) & get information to help them make an important final decision. Boy, that was a mouthful. Anyways:

James, you have 96 hours to decide whether you want to give that Immunity. If you don't give me your decision then, then I'll assume you want Immunity. Sorry if you think it's unfair, but well, we need to keep the show moving, right?

For now:

Will this be an easy vote? Did your basis for voting change from last time, seeing as we're nearing the end?

The end is coming closer. Any surprises you expect?

Here is how the voting will work:

You have 96 hours to send in your vote to both me & MK. (Meaning, it's due on July 2.) If James says he'll keep it, then we'll just extend the voting period to sometime in July 4 to 6 (to accomodate for James & Bobby Jon voting). However, if James decides to give it to someone, the decision will be announced & you will be given another 96 hours to vote (again, to accomodate for the castaways away). If you have any concerns, complaints, suggestions or questions, just post it here. MK, if you decide that this isn't an okay system, then go ahead and fix it. This is your game after all. Good luck guys.



Sundra:
Will this be an easy vote? Did your basis for voting change from last time, seeing as we're nearing the end? The only votes that are easy are when I dislike the person, I don't dislike this person, so no, it's not easy at all, but it has to be done.

The end is coming closer. Any surprises you expect? No surprises in particular that I'm expecting, but I prepare myself for them, because it is Survivor at the end of the day, anything can happen.


Rudy:
(Nods to and smiles at Ozzy, Alicia, Stacy, Tom, Tina and Silas.)

Will this be an easy vote? Did your basis for voting change from last time, seeing as we're nearing the end?

Well no this wont be a hard vote for me because I tried to get things to be different but I couldnt get that accomplished so I have to hope its the right choice. I reallly have to go with the flow here and hope its the best it could be for me to be safe down the road.

The end is coming closer. Any surprises you expect?

Like Sundra said, surprises are expected in Survivor so I am always prepared. But I suspect the writing is on the wall in this game and it just needs to run its course. If it goes differently than I suspect it is going, then I will be surprised for sure.



BJ:
Welcome Jurors

Will this be an easy vote? Did your basis for voting change from last time, seeing as we're nearing the end?

This vote will not be easy at all.. each time that it gets closer and closer to the final two it gets harder and harder were all so close and even voting one person off is hard

The end is coming closer. Any surprises you expect?

I dont believe there will be any surprises, i think the game is wrapping up.. but u never know this is like the rest said Survivor!



Kathy:
Will this be an easy vote? Did your basis for voting change from last time, seeing as we're nearing the end?

I have levels of trust left for each player still in the game, so this vote decision is very hard for me. I wanted to vote for James this round, but cannot.

The end is coming closer. Any surprises you expect?
I don't expect any surprises, but that doesn't mean I won't be surprised. I'm always a little surprised, I guess.

SC #16

Jeff:
Well welcome to Security Council. Before we get on to the voting, let's have some discussion.

We are down to the Final Five. Anyone feeling the pressure of the upcoming Final Security Council?

Rudy, will you keep your immunity? And secondly, how key was winning immunity this round?

James and Steph, you were late in submitting for the challenge. Are you feeling safe or is there another reason?

To everyone except Rudy, are you feeling nervous about being voted out this week?

Anything else you want to say?

Votes are due in 48 hours.



Kathy:
To everyone except Rudy, are you feeling nervous about being voted out this week?

Well, I don't have immunity. Without it and 3 voting together last time, then I could be voted out, yes. Nervous? Me? of course I am. I tried on the challenge and completed it. I want to know the answers, because even though Sundra and worked together, as far as I know we did not send some of the same answers, and i sent later than she did, working some more to find what I could online. Stacy - you are hard to "look up."

I am interested in seeing everyone in final 5 post in this discussion. it's not my favorite thing to do, but I participate anyway.



Ozzy:




Rudy:
(GIves a wave and nod to Ozzy, Alicia, Stacy, Tom, Tina, Silas and BJ)

I believe I have particapated in all of theses, so of course I will again.

Hi Jeff. When you say "final security council" do you mean this one is the final or are you referring to the next one I thought there would be? I had assumed that there would be one more and if that is the case, I am extremely nervous. I need to win the next IC, as I have needed to win the last 4 or 5! HA Hard game for sure.


Quote:
Rudy, will you keep your immunity? And secondly, how key was winning immunity this round?


As Kathy referred to the last vote, I must also. Had I not fought for my life that last week, I would have been blindsided, and I very well could be again, cause you just never know when people will or will not keep deals and promises. People should know me by now to know that my deals and promises are golden unless the other person breaks them to me then all bets are off. So I HAVE to keep immunity this week.

Well winning immunity is always important to assure moving on. But this was important because now there are choices on who I could vote for....the 1st time in nearly 8 SC's!



James:
Anyone feeling the pressure of the upcoming Final Security Council?
Yes

James and Steph, you were late in submitting for the challenge. Are you feeling safe or is there another reason?
I wasn't aware of the deadline, lol

To everyone except Rudy, are you feeling nervous about being voted out this week?
Not reaaaaaaaally, but this is Survivor; anything can and will happen.



Kathy:
A general question just to MK, host numero uno:

Since you posted this SC Discussion, and it is past July 4th (I think when you said you would return full time as host.) and no specific instructions to send votes to both you and ray.. (I'm getting to the question!)

Do we send votes to just you, and are are you back full time now, MK?

Thanks.



Steph:
We are down to the Final Five. Anyone feeling the pressure of the upcoming Final Security Council?
-- No, why would I even worry about it when I'm not guaranteed I'll make it there? I'm worrying about THIS Security Council, then I'll worry about the NEXT Security Council, if I ever make it there, and then, THEN, I'll worry about the Final SC (again, if I make it there).

James and Steph, you were late in submitting for the challenge. Are you feeling safe or is there another reason?
-- There's another reason. My job is sucky right now. I hate it.

To everyone except Rudy, are you feeling nervous about being voted out this week?
-- To be honest? Not really. I'm more nervous about my sucky job LOL.

Anything else you want to say?
-- My job sucks.



Stacy:

To everyone except Rudy, are you feeling nervous about being voted out this week? It's definatly possible, I could well be the one leaving this week.

Anything else you want to say? I also hate my job.

SC #2

Jeff:

Jeff: Welcome Waldheim Tribe to the second Security Council of the game. Before we vote, maybe we should have a bit of discussion.

Alicia & Kathy - What did you think of the other Helpers and the general discussion there?

Hunter & Sundra - How hard was it to subtract from another tribe?

Bobby Jon - You sat out this challenge. Do you think that has lowered your position in the tribe?

What do you think of the results?

How would you feel if you were the one voted out this TC? Also, how hard will it be to lose a member from this tribe?

Votes are due in 48 hours. Early results if possible.



BJ:
Well here we are the for the first time, not a good feeling at all!
But here we go:

In the beginning i did think sitting out would hurt me, because just in case we did lose i didnt get to participate or anything so people would vote me.. But as the challenge went on, I got much better with everything because i was there for team throughout the whole challenge and rooted all of them on.. To keep fighting and to do their best and thats all i could do
I think they all did amazing even though we lost :]

Its sooo hard to lose a member of our tribe because were soo close and everything and sooo strong.. Losing someone is going to be a major loss to our tribe i believe



Kathy:
Wow, I am away all day, and no one but Bobby John has posted in here yet? I hate doing this part of the game but am here as soon as I was able to get home - hearing what people say can help me. I'm working in a wordpad on my answers and will post when ready.Alicia & Kathy - What did you think of the other Helpers and the general discussion there?

Well, at first it was light- hearted and fun. I tried not being direct and giving clues as to our vote which was decided early. I was not happy that Silas came so late - saying he thought the challenge was the next day, and then coming on strong to get votes. That and he did ignore my replies to him for a long time. I"m glad Ozzy regretted stating the "Who is All-Stars worthy" talk - that was unpleasant at first. So the deals came late. No one was going to get more than one tribe to vote for them - I'm glad all tribes finally made their deals and seemed to honor them.

What do you think of the results?

I didn't understand them. I usually congratulate winning tribes - but saw no winners or losers here. We go to TC, yes - but I don't see us as losing. We did not fail the challenge.

How would you feel if you were the one voted out this TC? Also, how hard will it be to lose a member from this tribe?

I would hate to be voted out. I participate in work and in fun. I try to get to know my tribe mates. I have gotten to know two players I have never met or played with in any game. I want to stay.

I hate that we have to vote someone out under these circumstances - no one here is in active. It will be very hard to lose anyone here - Waldheim is a very strong tribe. The loss will be felt no matter who it is.



Alicia:
Like Kathy said, it was pretty much light-hearted. But I feel that it was pretty much pre-determined that each tribe would get one vote.

Like you said, ironically, it was our early vote that saved Ki-moon from TC.

I would feel sad to be the one voted off this TC. I love this tribe, I have never played with them in any previous games, and if not for this game, I would probably never have gotten to know them. It is not going to be easy to vote someone off from this tribe, we are asll active, and great players



Hunter:
Hunter & Sundra - How hard was it to subtract from another tribe?

I personally didn't see it to be that hard, I looked at the tribes and tried to look what the future might hold and to try and eliminate some threats. I made my choice based on what would be best for our tribe, plain and simple, not what was any kind of deal, it just worked out that the proposed deal that was thrown out there was the same as our choice.

How would you feel if you were the one voted out this TC? Also, how hard will it be to lose a member from this tribe?

Well, I've gotten word that I am the one being voted out this round and that sucks. I guess what gets to me most is the reason I got for being the one picked to go home. I mean this is an All-Star cast and the reason is such an amatuer one, I really thought that an All-Star cast would make more strategic decisions. If it turns out that I am the one going home, especially for the reason I received, I will be very disappointed, not only for myself but for other players that I know are smart players and have yet to begin playing the game. I have have a lot to offer in this game, thus I want to stay!



Kathy:
Hunter, you're a strong player. I told you in private PM that I see you as "keeping your game close." And I think that is smart, but I usually can't trust that way of playing. We didn't have much time to form allies on this tribe, and maybe it is still too early for that, thinking ahead.

I wish our tribe had had more of a chance, but here we are. Talking, the social game goes a long way as well as strategy/thinking. This early I think we just all want to stay safe and survive.



Hunter:

Well, it is what it is I guess and I've made my pleas. Now I just need to decide who to stack a vote against, maybe I'll use your same philosophy and stack it on who communicated the least with me. Sorry I have to work when most of you are on, but I have to pay the bills. Remember that effort of communicating is also a two way street and I do believe that I replied to every PM that I received, so there wasn't much effort on anyone elses part either. Good Luck to you all, you're going to need it with the philosophy you're playing with.


BJ:
Im sorry Hunter with everything.. I really are a strong player, but the communication factor just plays a role with me tooo!
