TRIBAL COUNCIL #8 RESULTS

[Click here to enjoy some music while you await the results.]

I've now tallied the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. That person will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. That person will also relinquish their Survivor avatar and return to their normal avatar as soon as possible.

Again, a reminder: Please don't take it too personally if you are voted out. No vote for any individual should be taken as an assault on or insult to them as a person or as a member of this forum. Remember, we are all still friends here in WOWAY. But remember too -- this is a GAME, and it is a game in which players must do what they must strategically in order to win!!

I'll read the votes.

(Highlight the quote boxes to read the individual votes. Read one at a time for dramatic effect!)

American Pie

AlsGal27

WeirdAlFanatic27

AlsGal27

That's 1 vote for American Pie, 2 votes for AlsGal27, and 1 votes for WeirdAlFanatic27.

Next vote:

AlsGal27

and the fourth Survivor voted out of the MINSTREL Tribe and the third official member of our Survivor 3 Jury is:

AlsGal27

That's 3 votes. That's a majority.
Since the last vote could not affect the outcome, it will remain a mystery.

AlsGal27, you need to bring me your torch and relinquish your Survivor Avatar.

AlsGal27, the tribe has spoken.



It's time for you to go.
Please feel free to say some final words or leave a goodbye message in this thread.

The rest of you Survivors, remember to keep the chit chat in the other thread!
And weirdallie27, remember to again remove your immunity avatar and return to your tribe avatar as soon as possible after this TC. Click here to find your tribal avatar quickly.

Remember, Survivors ... every Survivor who is voted off from here on out will end up on the JURY! These folks whom you have voted off and those you will vote off in the very near future are the same ones you may end up asking for their vote for YOU as Sole Survivor!! Your game play strategy should consider that fact.

And Manda, stupidsurgeon27, and now AlsGal27, you and the other future Jurors should still continue to follow the game, even though you are out of it! It will be your important task to determine a winner at the end of this game in the Final Tribal Council, so knowing how the others have played will help you to decide which of the Final Two Survivors deserves the Grand Prize.

Click here to end this Tribal Council appropriately.
[Thanks again, Driew!!]

FINAL COMMENTS:

Wow. Impressive. You faced a tough Challenge and met it head on. This one was by far the most challeging of all. And yet, here you four stand as the FINAL FOUR. You each reached this way by different ways.

American Pie ... Your Al knowledge is very good, and yet you've stayed out of sight and out of fire for a long time. But these next two Challenges are crucial. Can you use your knowledge to grab Immunity and keep yourself in the Final Two??

DrSteggy ... You've shown without question that you can hold your own in the Challenges. Your alliance with weirdallie27 has helped you as well. Will both of those facts be enough to secure you a shot in the Final Two??

WeirdAlFanatic27 ... You've stayed quietly under the radar and done a good job in keeping yourself alive in this game. But as the Challenges progress, can you STAY under that radar long enough to reach the Final Two??

weirdallie27 ... You've blown the competition away so far, winning every Immunity but one so far. Can you continue your winning streak to make the Final Two?? Or could a loss of a Challenge at this point paint a huge target on your back??

We'll know soon enough, Survivors. Our next Challenge -- to whittle you down to three -- is in less than 24 hours.

Grab your torches. You can all head back to camp. Good night.

Ooh! I know what this challenge is going to be! Doc already shared it with me! This one will be a lot of fun!

[Dr_Dad]

Welcome, Survivors, to your 9th Immunity Challenge!!!

Immunity is once again back up for grabs!

The person that wins this competition will get this avatar, which will gair-un-tee that [everyone in your tribe / that person] will get to stay in the game for 3 more days. You will also be able to use this icon as your avatar for those three days.

If you lose, you will report to TRIBAL COUNCIL [date and time to be announced at the end of the challenge], where you will have to vote out one of your tribe members.

=================================


IMMUNITY CHALLENGE #9 -- "B-AL-DERDASH!!"

PLEASE READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING!


This game is played much like the board game Balderdash. For those not familiar with the game, rules of the standard game are here. The game is basically won by whoever is the best ... well ... liar.

Basically, for the regular game of Balderdash, the gameplay begins by one player [called the "Dasher"] being given on a card an unusual word rarely heard in normal conversation [say, ""]. That player is also given the correct definition of that word on the same card. The player must read ONLY that word aloud [NOT the real definition] and spell it for the other players. Each player then writes the real answer [if they THINK they know it] or their own FAKE definition to the word [it doesn't MATTER if each player REALLY KNOWS the REAL definition or not ... each person must just make up some definition that seems believable!] These definitions, individually written by each player on a paper from their own scratch pad, are all given to the Dasher, who compiles the "answers" and reads them all to the group in random order [including the real definition]. Each player then must guess which of the definitions is the true one. [And yes, the Dasher knows the correct answer -- but just for THIS round ...]. Scores are based on not only if you correctly guess which is the correct definition, but also how many [or if ANY] of the other players picked YOUR FAKE ANSWER as the correct one. The play then continues with the player to the right of the old "Dasher" becoming the new "Dasher".




Confusing, ain't it?


Well, we decided to simplify the rules a little for our game. For our Weird Al flavored Balderdash game, you already have each received a PM via WOWAY. In it, you will find the definitions of three highly obscure persons ... but EACH relates to Al in a very specific and undeniable way. We will have nine rounds of play, three per Survivor.

At the start of each B-Al-derdash round, I will announce one of these persons' names in the Chat Room in a random order. Each of the three of you must then give a definition or idenitity of that person, which will be sent to me via PM in WOWAY. [For instance, "Jim West" has an identity of "Al's guitarist".] If you are certain you know the answer for that person immediately or if you are certain one of the two definitions you were sent via PM is correct for that person, go ahead and send that to me as your definition.

If you are NOT sure what the correct definition is, then you must bluff.

You may consider using one of the two definitions you have as your answer [if that seems appropriate -- sending in a man's identity for a woman's name may not be considered, well, believable]. You may also make up one of your own identities -- but try to make that definition convincing!

After each of you has submitted a definition, I will then post all of your submitted answers in the Chat Room [without naming who sent what answer]. I will then ask each of you to pick which of the four submitted definitions [if any] are correct. If you DO know the actual definition, choose the definition closest to the correct one and announce it in the Chatroom. If you do NOT know what is correct, then choose any one of the four submitted definitions.

If you chose the correct identity, you will receive 2 points.

However, for each person who believed YOUR FAKE answer is correct, then you will collect one point per person's choice.

Also, if you post the correct identity, and NO ONE chooses it, you get 3 points!


After nine rounds, the one with the highest score wins Immunity.

Got it??

So the basic gameplay is -- for each of nine rounds, try to state the real identity of each person named, or at least make up a convincing FAKE one that others will guess at.


SCORING RULES FOR EACH ROUND:
1. One point is given to each player for every vote (or guess) his phony definition receives.
2. Two points are awarded to each player who chooses the true B-Al-derdash meaning.
3. Two points are awarded to any player who submits a definition which is similar or very close to the correct meaning.
4. Three points are given to the person with the correct definition only if none of the players choose that true B-Al-derdash meaning.



Please note -- we will have Tribal Council Chat immediately after the Challenge!! So don't go anywhere!!!

Survivors ready ... and ... GO!! [to the ChatRoom]



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Dr_Dad]

ATTENTION, SURVIVORS!! The immunity challenge is now officially OVER!!

weirdallie27 AND DrSteggy BOTH win immunity! Congratulations!!

They have also elected to keep Immunity rather than give it up for two TC votes or give it to someone else.

weirdallie27 and DrSteggy, please take the Immunity Avatar as your avatar!

You may cut and paste this link into your avatar settings window:

Tribal Council Chat was held, but the entire discussion was lost when I forgot to save it before closing the Chat window. So we have no record of it or the Challenge itself. [[[[EDIT: But then again -- WE DO!! Scroll below the TC announcement!!]]]]

Tribal Council Announcement to follow.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
===================

[Click here to get in the proper spirit of the game.]





Welcome to TRIBAL COUNCIL.


This is where you will answer for your actions and your contributions to the tribe. Please take a torch and light it in the fire.

At Tribal Council, fire represents life on the island. As long as your torch is lit, you will remain in the game. When the fire goes out, you go home. Well ... okay ... maybe you ARE home already ... but you're out of the game anyways.

This is how we'll vote:

Each of you will send me a Private Message through WOWAY with the name of the person you want to vote out of the tribe. Please use their actual SCREENNAME [NOT their real name or any Survivor nickname you may have for them], so that it will be easier for me to tally the votes. You can include a reason if you'd like, but it is not necessary, and no comments in your note to me will be mentioned to anyone else during this Tribal Council. PLEASE NOTE: If any Tribe Members fail to vote by the end of Tribal Council, their vote will count as an automatic vote against them. Once all the votes have been cast, or once the time deadline for Tribal Council has passed, I will tally and then read the votes.

NOTE: For this round, Tribal Council will officially end on Wednesday, September 1, 2004 at 8:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time!

Don't forget to check the Survivor Challenge Schedule on the first page of the original Game Play Thread to find out the day and time of our next Challenge. Watch for TREE MAIL. It will be posted here in the Game Play Thread sometime between the conclusion of Tribal Council and the next Challenge.


TRIBE MEMBERS ELIGIBLE TO BE VOTED OUT THIS ROUND:

American Pie
WeirdAlFanatic27


Remember that since DrSteggy and weirdallie27 BOTH won Immunity this last challenge and is keeping Immunity for herself, they cannot be voted for this round. Any vote FOR either of them will be counted as a vote against YOURSELF!!! So please vote carefully!!


It is time for you to vote.

And if there are any more questions specifically about Tribal Council, please ask in this topic.


====================================================================

Er....how about Wednesday, September 1st? Hehehe.

<DocProbst> Jackie was close, but I'd have to accept it

<DocProbst> She said, "Actress from the 'You Might Be A Redneck' video that Al directed"

<DocProbst> but Allison's was closer:

<DocProbst> "The actress who played the fat lady tourist in Al's 'Amish Paradise' video; she also was featured in Jeff Foxworthy's video, 'Redneck Stomp', which Al directed."

<Allie27`> it's redneck stomp

<DrSteggy> I got that from her website

<DrSteggy> Allie Raye's

<Allie27`> lol- she must be stupid then.

<DrSteggy> well I think she did her own site too

<Allie27`> lol

<DrSteggy> and lets just say graphic design isn't her strong suit

<DocProbst> A POX ON YOU, INTERNET!!!

[Dr_Dad]

Here is the transcript of the Survivor 3 Challenge #9 ["B-Al-Derdash"] Tribal Council Chat which immediately followed the game play in the Chat Room on August 30, 2004 at about 10:30 PM EST. Participating were American_Pie, DrSteggy, and weirdallie27 [Allie27`]. Current Survivor PrincessBob [Weird AlFanatic27] was not able to attend. TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles [The Mecca, a former Survivor himself] was also in attendance as an observer and frequent kibitzer ... ]



<DocProbst> Welcome, Survivors, to your latest Tribal Council chat!

<TheMecca> woo hoo.

<Fintron> woo

<DocProbst> So you all did well on B-Al-Derdash ...

<TheMecca> even me!

<DocProbst> ... maybe TOO well ...

<DrSteggy> tha was much fun

<DocProbst> So you did enjoy it?

<DrSteggy> yes!

<DocProbst> Good!

<Allie27`> yup

<TheMecca> I enjoyed it

<DocProbst> Did the mystery persons seem too easy or too hard? Did you know a lot of them off the bat, or only after you saw the choices?

<Allie27`> i knew a few right away.

<Allie27`> some of them were like, "huh?"

<DrSteggy> I knew a couple, and others I made good guesses on based on what the three answers were

<DocProbst> Well, of course, that was the idea

<DocProbst> I mean, the real game of Balderdash wouldn't be much of a game if the words it asked you the definitions of things like "cow" or "chicken" or "potato" ...

<Allie27`> lol

<TheMecca> hehe

<DocProbst> You gotta ask words like "zymurgy" ... and "singultus"

<DocProbst> So our version HAD to have obscure folks

<DocProbst> But curse the power of Google ... < _ <

<Allie27`> and the MS....

<DrSteggy> obscure always depends on who you ask

<DocProbst> True

<American_Pie> I'm back

<DocProbst> We're in Tribal Council Chat, AP

<American_Pie> I see

<DocProbst> Let me ask you: Did the mystery persons seem too easy or too hard? Did you know a lot of them off the bat, or only after you saw the choices?

<American_Pie> Uhh I didn't know any really

<DocProbst> LOL ... Sorry, man ...

<DocProbst> What about the format of the game? Did it make sense?

<DrSteggy> once we started playing it did

<DrSteggy> I've never played Balderdash before

<American_Pie> Yes

<Allie27`> yea, it didn't at first.

<DocProbst> Do you think that the Survivor's choice of correct answers should have been in msg as well?

<DrSteggy> nah

<Allie27`> i dunno

<Allie27`> maybe

<DocProbst> Did you feel that once someone picked an answer, EVERYONE picked it?

<DrSteggy> that's part of the strategy in the actually game isn't it?

<Allie27`> yes

<American_Pie> Yeah

<DrSteggy> or do you select defs in secret?

<DocProbst> Everyone sends me their own definitions and I post them as is with minor modifications to make each answer resemble the others

<DrSteggy> no--in the actual game of Balderdash, do player choose the definitions in secret? Or do they just shout em out?

<DocProbst> the deifinitions are written in secret

<Allie27`> oh

<Allie27`> no...

<Allie27`> lol

<DrSteggy> are they chosen in secret

<Allie27`> yea. LOL

<DrSteggy> like, if I think defintion 2 is the right one do I tell the Dasher alone or the whole room

<DocProbst> One person has the correct answer and knows it; he's called the "Dasher".

<DocProbst> I'm trying to remember ...

<DrSteggy> Do i get points for stumping you on the rules??

<Allie27`> haha

<DocProbst> I linked to a Balderdash site in the instructions for the game

<DocProbst> Lemme see ....

<DocProbst> http://www.centralconnector.com/GAMES/balderdash.html

<DocProbst> There we go

<American_Pie> Uhh, guys I have to go soon.

<DocProbst> Okay

<TheMecca> okay

<DocProbst> It's late in the game. Any last minute alliances or agreements? Or is it pretty much everyone for themselves at this point?

<Allie27`> basically.

<American_Pie> All by yourself

<DocProbst> Now, you realize ... whoever wins the next Challenge picks who will sit next to them in the Final Tribal Council.

<DrSteggy> alls fair in love, war, and survivor

<TheMecca> heh

<DrSteggy> huh?

<Allie27`> understood.

<DrSteggy> never mind I get it

<DocProbst> Talking to each of you as individuals, if you were the one to win this next Challenge, do you have an idea of which of the other two you'd take to the Final Two with you? Or is it still up in the air? [No need to name names.]

<American_Pie> I know

<TheMecca> heh

<DrSteggy> I know

<Allie27`> yea

<DocProbst> So it's pretty much already decided then.

<American_Pie> pretty much

<DocProbst> After this next Challenge, two of you will face Manda, stupidsurgeon27, AlsGal27, and the losers of this Challenge and the next. Does that concern any of you?

<American_Pie> Not really.

<Allie27`> eh

<DrSteggy> nah

<DrSteggy> we've been fairly controversy free

<DocProbst> I mean, if you are in the Final Two, do you see your chances of being chosen the Sole Survivor at risk from any of those that you helped to vote out?

<American_Pie> Not at all

<DrSteggy> nah

<Allie27`> not really

<DocProbst> Zzzzzzzzzzzz ..... I mean, thank you, Survivors!

<DrSteggy> hehehehe

<TheMecca> heh

<Allie27`> hehehe

<DrSteggy> can we go vote now???

<DocProbst> ["Controversy free", indeed ....]

<Allie27`> will the challenge be thursday?

<DocProbst> Yes

<DocProbst> One last thing before we vote ---

<DocProbst> -- and yes, it's a stupid question, but I have to ask --

<DocProbst> Are either of you two ladies giving your Immunity to anyone else?

<DocProbst> [duh]

<Allie27`> nah.

<DrSteggy> nope!

<DocProbst> Okay, just making it official.

<American_Pie> thanks gals i feel so loved lol j/k

<Allie27`> lol

<DocProbst> Thanks Survivors for another successful Challenge!

* DrSteggy cheers

<TheMecca> whoot

<DocProbst> I will make the Tribal Council Announcement momentarily!

<DrSteggy> ok!

<DocProbst> Then send me your votes!

<DrSteggy> night gang!

<Allie27`> aight

<DocProbst> We will end TC on Wednesday at 8:00 PM EST, and start the LAST IMMUNITY CHALLENGE on Thursday!

<DocProbst> Thank you Survivors!! See you all Thursday!
