FYI, I need both teams to submit who will do the guide and who will do the puzzle jobs (this can be the same person).

[Tulas Shorn]

I volunteer to do the puzzle and jobs and guide.

[Anomandaris]

Who on my team has a level 2 genius? If no one has then i'll do it with my lvl 1 awesomeness. Dunno how i will stand a chance against mr smartypants TS though. But a am on a better roll than anyone else regarding challenges!

It IS april 29th... how exactly is this an advance screening?

[Path-Shaper]

Pretend that this was filmed months ago and the "viewers" are "watching" it shortly before the actual release of the movie.

[Path-Shaper]

And it actually releases next week, oops =)

[Anomandaris]

Came out today over here...

[Alkend]

we've had posts from Aussies that watched it already. twice.



oh, and i'ma be rowing

[Karatallid]

On the challenge, i have +1 intelligence but i would prefer to row
ive already seen thor, thought it was pretty watchable, nothing to write home about and im looking forward to the avengers

serc calm down, dont bait the newbies. It would be a completely different game if one of pensador got the black stone instead of dureza. But obviously the gods of this island prefer pensador and youve been on the backfoot since that happened. no need to take it out on TS just because shes the only one online, and we have all at one time or another left IE on the forum then gone off to do something else for an hour or two, so its no biggy to have your name on the forum but not be posting. play nice now

and as for the last vote....

interesting that you say the vote for alkend was from kalse, why so sure? I hadnt wanted to stir trouble, ive tried to keep my head down this game, perhaps its not worked out to well. But im still here, despite 6 votes in one day so maybe not. PS wants to be more talkative however so thats what i shall be.

A message for alkend.
Are you aware that the other 2 members of dureza have already gave me a shortlist of the last 6 players they want in this game, and your name wasnt on it. neither was kalses. Ever since barghast was outed myself and several other pensadors have been contacted to join with them to remove three pensadors and 2 dureza to make 3 each in the final 6. your colleagues are happy to sell you out in order to keep themselves in. Indeed i have a message from one of those naughty three who out right says that he voted for kalse, as myself and he previously decided. probably he is lying and voted for ruse, but hey, who knows.

Because I have a thing for the underdog and dont like those willing to sell out there friends i feel like offering alkend honorary membership into pensador. Yes we tried to vote you off, but in fairness you did the same to me, the only difference is at least us pensadors are sticking together. join with us, suggest a target from those around you and i will seriously consider voting in your favor against your target

oh and before i forget
All hail our pensador overlords!

[Alkend]

well, that gives me lots to think about....

[Anomandaris]

If one of deruza voted for kalse then where did the 4th vote on ruse come from? A pendasor? You contradict your self in saying your team is so 'tight' and sticking together but then in the same breath spout this theory which means one of your team had to have voted for ruse to be true. You can't have it both ways. Its easy to work out that what you are saying is laced with only half truths just to suit you. And i don't think for one minute that you would take any of us into the last 6 being a 'honorary pendasor' or not. So that title is actually meaningless to alkend. Just something to maybe get a jury vote is what i am thinking. I like how you are trying to style yourself as his saviour. we all know its hogwash. also like how you talk on behalf of your entire alliance by giving alkend the keys to the city... Until he is the last deruza in the zoo. Amirite? be carefull you are making promises you can't keep. I suppose you guys have to start campaigning for jury votes sometime.

[Alkend]

Soo, about that challenge... Wasnt it supposed to be like yesterday? Lol

[Ruse]

I think PS is still waiting for us to tell him who is rowing, guiding and puzzling.

For team 2:
guiding and puzzling - Tulas Shorn
rowing - Alkend, Okaros, Ruse, Serc

[Liosan]

Team 1
Guide & puzzle - Anomandaris
Rowing - Everybody else


If anybody on Team 1 has a problem with this, you can change it. Anybody with greater than Int +1 shoulf guide, Ano has volunteered.

I'm cool with that.

Regarding all the ranting and answering smugness on thread, I think this all has a little to do with the use of a certain Idol and perhaps some insecurity over who voted Alkend. As someone with a lot of contacts but alas, not a whole lot of time to reply, I see some interesting info coming in. And because of the previous two sentences, I actually have the answer to both the idol and the vote. There's very little to win by sharing it here, though.

Regarding the state of play: as it stands, it seems somewhat simple for Pensador to hold sway over the remainder of the masses, seeing how said remainder is a minority and all. Now, if everyone kept their cool instead of ranting and raving, there would be no doubt at all over who would make the final. It also seems very clear that for Dureza to pack influence, they'll have to break the Pensador clique into two factions. No-one has a guarantee that they'll win anything by another Black Stone stand-off, after all. But for Pensadores to split, the ones crossing over will want a guarantee to get to the final. That is not guaranteed with an even split amidst Pensador at the moment, so I expect none of us will get the sack.

Whether or not Dureza can succeed or not in the long run, is anyone's guess, but it requires alliances and I can see those are being made. And to get your alliances going and keeping them going, cooler heads will also prevail. With such a large element of play resting on mod action, we're all slaves of fate, the same for the final verdict of the jury.

It is actually quite funny. We all got here by forming power blocks. The people judging over us are the people who were voted off by us. It may well be that in the end, the Pensadores who were voted off prefer a Dureza winner as a result of the way they were ousted (ruthless and every round by complete agreement and with total discipline). The same (but in reverse) may be true for the Dureza's in the jury, as I gather from what I heard so far that those of you who got here did the sensible thing, too, and forged an alliance that had majority.

[Tulas Shorn]

Wait? We are allowed to talk to people from the other team? Oops.

[Karatallid]

i was shocked to find out too...

[Merrid]

wait we can talk to other people in this game. that seems like important information why wasn't i informed of such a thing.

I bet in your case, it is because no-one wants to talk to you, my dear kittycat. Or maybe the richness of the bouquet of your vocabulary scares them off, which I remember as being distinctly flavourful, if one can call the smell of shit so?
