Well, I'm in the chat right now.

-CindyBob

Hey, Doc! That was the coolest challenge yet! We'll definately need to do something like that for All Stars...only a lot harder!

Here is the transcript of tonight's Tribal Council Chat #5 with Minstrel Tribe members American_Pie, Manda, stupidsurgeon27 [CindyBob], TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles [TheMecca], weirdallie27 [Allie27`] and WeirdAlFanatic27 [PrincessBob27]. Unable to attend were DrSteggy and AlsGal27.

The chat took place on Thursday, July 29th at about 11:35 PM EST.


<DocProbst> Welcome Survivors to your first Tribal Council as Minstrels.

<DocProbst> First of all, how does everyone feel about the merge?

<DocProbst> Getting to know everyone?

<American_Pie> IYep.

<Manda> Its ok.

<CindyBob> Okay.

<PrincessBob27> I'm okay with it

<DocProbst> Tribe name seems okay?

<CindyBob> Yeah.

<Allie27`> yup

<Manda> Yep

<DocProbst> [Trying to keep with the Toon Al motif]

<American_Pie> IYep.

<DocProbst> So what was the general reaction to the Challenge #5?

<DocProbst> [You don't have to answer, Manda. ... LOL]

<American_Pie> It was fun, made me miss John Kerry.

<Allie27`> I was afraid at first.

<Allie27`> Not too fond of math.

<CindyBob> Reaction? It was done by the time I got there. I love math. I'm good at the order of operation.

<DocProbst> But you did quite well at it, Allison!

<Allie27`> It messed me up at first. Hehe.

<DocProbst> Did the variab-ALs seem too difficult or too easy?

<DocProbst> Or a mix?

<Allie27`> a mix.

<DocProbst> Anyone else?

<Manda> I didn't get a chance to read all of them.

<American_Pie> They weren't hard but needed to be researched.

<CindyBob> Mix.

<DocProbst> Which seemed the most difficult variab-AL?

<Manda> Umm

<American_Pie> Probably the UHF ones since I haven't seen it.

<Allie27`> The radioactive hamster one.

<Allie27`> I hadn't listened to that in a while.

<DocProbst> Ah ...

<DocProbst> I see

<DocProbst> Anyone else?

<Manda> I've never heard it

<DocProbst> [And AP, we won't even touch on the fact that despite a DVD and VHS version of UHF being out, you have YET to see the movie ...]

<DocProbst> LOL ... j/k, man ....

<PrincessBob27> I'm not good at math so I was confused by it all

<PrincessBob27> hehe

<Manda> Ahh I'm not alone.

<Allie27`> I was confused when I first looked at it too.

<CindyBob> I miss high school algebra.

<CindyBob> Then again...order of operations was middle school actually.

<American_Pie> I can't find the DVD of UHF in this bloody city.

<DocProbst> Well, Cindy, looking over the questions for the variab-ALs, do you think you could have given Allison a run for her money in this Challenge?

<Allie27`> I bet she could have!

<DocProbst> LOL

<CindyBob> Aww. Maybe. I dunno. I take time with my math, though once I get going, I end up finishing before I know it.

<DocProbst> Okay

<DocProbst> Well, then, some questions about the Game itself ...

<DocProbst> Now that you are competing as individuals, does the Game seem more challenging?

<American_Pie> Somewhat.

<CindyBob> Kind of. You have no one to help you out really in the challegnes.

<Manda> Yeah it does to me.

<CindyBob> challenges.

<Allie27`> hehe, a bit

<DocProbst> The next Challenge, whenever it will be, will be one that everyone should be present for at the very start.

<DocProbst> It will begin promptly and end within a few minutes.

<CindyBob> Provided our host is there on time.

<Allie27`> hahahaha

<American_Pie> LOL

<PrincessBob27> lol

<Manda> lol

<Allie27`> another trivia challenge?

<DocProbst> [I was waiting for that line ... thanks for not disappointing me .... ]

<DocProbst> Something like that.

<Allie27`> hehehe

<CindyBob> Glad to live up to your expectations, Dr. Probst.

<Allie27`> we're so predictable.

<PrincessBob27> lol

<DocProbst> Does it seem that Monday is a good day for most of you now?

<American_Pie> Amen To Dat.

<Allie27`> For me, I think so.

<Manda> Yeah sure.

<PrincessBob27> its good for me

<American_Pie> It's good.

<CindyBob> Monday is good.

<DocProbst> Okay then ...

<DocProbst> Allison, how does it feel to be the first Individual Immunity winner?

*** TheMecca [[email protected]] has joined #weirdal

<TheMecca> hey all

<DocProbst> Hi Mecca

<CindyBob> Hello.

<PrincessBob27> hiya

<Allie27`> Good. since I never win anything in real life.

<TheMecca> I started to work on this, until SOMEBODY decided to enter the right answer

<DocProbst> Mecca, is Monday at 8PM EST okay for you for the next Challenge?

<TheMecca> Yeah

<DocProbst> Good.

<TheMecca> I just have to check with my mom

<DocProbst> That's six of the eight ...

<TheMecca> See, I got all the variables right

<DocProbst> Only ones in the air are DrSteggy and AlsGal27.

<CindyBob> Let's just hope my power doesn't go out Monday. It went out today and I was worried it we would get it back in time for the challenge.

<Allie27`> Don't think Jackie can do it.

<DocProbst> I'll PM them

<DocProbst> So noted, Allison.

<TheMecca> same thing with the last challenge and me, except with rebooting the computer except of blackout

<DocProbst> Okay, back to your question, Allison, reagarding winning this Challenge ...

<DocProbst> Do you feel that winning this Challenge makes you a bit of a target for future Tribal Council votes?

<Allie27`> Eh, not sure.

<Allie27`> Hope not. LOL

<DocProbst> It's a bit early

<DocProbst> But ... having said that ...

<DocProbst> As Allison cannot be voted for in this next Tribal Council Vote [as she has elected to keep her Immunity] ....

<DocProbst> ... Do any of the rest of you have a clear idea who you will vote for in this next TC vote?

<CindyBob> I dunno.

<DocProbst> [No names are necessary]

<Manda> Not yet

<DocProbst> [Just a yes or no]

<TheMecca> I'm really not sure

<PrincessBob27> yeah

<Allie27`> mayhaps

<Manda> no

<DocProbst> Sounds like this is up in the air a bit

<American_Pie> Perhaps.

<DocProbst> Any idea how you will make you decision on who to vote for?

<TheMecca> Can't... reach! Darn decision is up in the air.

<TheMecca> nope

<Manda> Umm. I'll think about it

<CindyBob> I'll sleep on it and my dream will tell me.

<TheMecca> I'll think about it while working on this weeks Mario and Luigi comic.

<DocProbst> Okay then ...

<TheMecca> which I really need to work on- it's supossed to be out tomorrow!

<DocProbst> I think I will give you guys till Sunday night then to send me your votes.

<DocProbst> You sound like you will need the extra time.

<Manda> Ok

<Allie27`> hehe

<Allie27`> aight

<PrincessBob27> okie dokie

<DocProbst> Let me ask one more question.

<DocProbst> Any alliances made yet? No need to say with whom, but just a simple yes or no.

<Manda> No

<TheMecca> No

<CindyBob> Actually...no. I haven't had time to think about them...OC and all.

<Allie27`> no

<American_Pie> Nope

<PrincessBob27> nah

<DocProbst> Alright, then ... how about ONE MORE question .... do you think that this weekend MORE alliances will be formed by you Survivors??

<TheMecca> Nope. Not with me at least.

<Manda> I don't know.

<Allie27`> We'll see.

<CindyBob> *shrugs*

<PrincessBob27> eh,

<American_Pie> Perhaps.

<DocProbst> Very well then. Well, this next Tribal Council Vote will be interesting to review. Remember, you CANNOT vote for Allison [weirdallie27]. I will post TC Voting instructions shortly.

<Manda> Ok

<DocProbst> Please be sure to submit your vote to me no later than Sunday night at 8PM EST. Remember, if I receive no vote from you, it counts as a vote AGAINST you.

<TheMecca> Cool

<American_Pie> Sounds Good.

<Allie27`> aight

<DocProbst> This is the part where the game gets difficult.

<TheMecca> You better save the chat this time Probst- I came in late.

<PrincessBob27> okie dokie

<DocProbst> Okay then.

<TheMecca> Yeah, I like ALL these people so it'll be hard to vote...

<DocProbst> Any final questions before we wrap this up?

<Allie27`> Does anyone else have to pee?

<CindyBob> No more tardies, right, Probst? Just had to rib ya for it.

<DocProbst> Nah

<DocProbst> Barring any unforseen disasters

<TheMecca> Plus can you really lay back on the algebra stuff?

<CindyBob> Awww.

<DocProbst> But I *WILL* give a copy of the Challenge to Driew ... so he can post it in an emergency.

<TheMecca> What? I'm 11. Give me a break.

<DocProbst> No promises, Mecca ...

<TheMecca> Aw!

<DocProbst> Heh heh heh ....

<TheMecca> That challenge BETTER be in All-Stars

<DocProbst> One never knows what's around the corner ....

<American_Pie> No more UHF trivia!!!!

<DocProbst> Are there any questions?

<DocProbst> Okay then ... I will copy this chat and post it in the Game Play Thread shortly

<DocProbst> Thanks for coming Survivors! Congratulations Allison! And Good Luck the rest of you in this next TC Vote!!

<DocProbst> Good night all!

<CindyBob> Night!

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 Sunday, August 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:

AlsGal27
American Pie
DrSteggy
Manda
stupidsurgeon27
TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles
WeirdAlFanatic27


Remember that since weirdallie27 won Immunity this last challenge, that person cannot be voted for this round. Any vote FOR weirdallie27 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.

This is the Survivor game! uh...

Besides me telling you should go read the "Survivor 3 Game Play Thread"...
that's about it.

TRIBAL COUNCIL #5 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!)

Dr_Steggy

TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles

AlsGal27

TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles

AlsGal27

TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles

That's 1 votes for Dr_Steggy, 3 votes for TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles, and 2 votes for AlsGal27.

Next vote:

TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles

and the first Survivor voted out of the new MINSTREL Tribe is:

TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles

That's 4 votes. That's a majority.
Since the last vote could not affect the outcome, it will remain a mystery.

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

TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles, 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 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 ... beginning with this next Challenge, every Survivor who is voted off will end up on the JURY! These folks whom 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 may change from this point on as a result.

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

FINAL COMMENTS:

Well, Minstrels, this has certainly been a different experience for you at Tribal Council tonight. You may have found it easy to vote out a non-participant from within your own tribe. But NOW your focus shifts ... now, you look at not who is participating too little ... but at who is participating too MUCH. You may start asking ... who among your tribemates can keep you from going all the way to the Final Two?

Also, this vote may cause some of you to rethink about the need for alliances. We had three separate people getting votes this round. Some of you may have been surprised by those votes. Unfortunately, as Mecca commented at the last Tribal Council Chat when asked if any alliances were to be made this weekend, he replied, "Nope. Not with me at least.". And now he is the last person voted out before the Jury. All of you may need to reassess who you want to keep near you as the game progresses.

And again, keep in mind, with each tribe member voted out from this moment on being guaranteed a spot in our Jury, each and every Survivor must balance making it past each challenge to the Final Two with keeping the future Jury members happy. And quite a delicate balance that is.

From here on out, the Challenges are tougher, the rivalries more intense, and the stakes as high as they can be. It's gonna be a wild ride.

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

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

IT'S TREE MAIL TIME!!



TREE MAIL #6

The numbers of your tribemates continue to drop.
Knowledge of Al will take you to the top.
Be sure that the rules everyone understands,
'Cause, now, get ready for "The Battle Of The Bands"!!


The next Immunity Challenge will begin at 8:00 PM Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT) on TUESDAY, AUGUST 3RD, and it will end within roughly 20 to 45 minutes.

NOTE: Please note -- the next Immunity Challenge will take place LIVE in the WOWAY Survivor 3 Challenge #6 Game Play Thread [NOT IN THE CHAT ROOM!!], which can be accessed here [I've put up a temporary message there so you can access it quickly]. The rules for the challenge will be posted in this Game Play thread ten minutes prior to the announced start of the Challenge. The challenge will then begin roughly ten minutes later in the chatroom. You are all URGED to be there ON TIME. We will NOT be able to wait indefinitely for all members to arrive!! If you do not think you can arrive at the Challenge on time at 8:00 PM EST, PLEASE P.M. ME QUICKLY, and tell me what time you should be able to arrive. However, if four or more current Survivors PM me stating they have a conflict with the time, we will try to accomodate a different starting time, if possible.

Survivors, plan to spend about half an hour to 45 minutes at your computer at 8:00 PM EST that night. The Challenge will be over by then.

Good luck, Survivors!!


Doc Probst

Survivors, I need a quick shoutout to know who is here to answer questions. Please type "Here" in this Game Play Thread and indicate if you can stay the full 30-45 minutes for the entire game or not.
