This is how it will work:
1. Have both Sadielady and Jiljos making an opening statement.
2. Then you the jury members will be able to ask a question/comment to them.
3. And the 2 will then make their closing statements.
Please wait for my cue for these actions, thanks.
Deadline for opening statements Friday 2nd December .
My Opening Statement: (SadieLady)
1st of all thank you to arien, Jadzia & mewannawin. You created a fun & exciting
game.
2nd: I won't ask you to vote for me or Jill. The game is to outwit, outplay &
outlast. Jill & I teamed up in the very beginning. I made one promise in the
whole game & that was to take Jill to the final 2, & she promised me the same. I
cast the vote that took Jill to the final 2. Weather come in 1st or 2nd I feel
like I have already won.
Those of you on the Jury have played very well all are winners also.
Jill & I plotted from the very beginning. We had a list of who would go next, &
we out-witted all of you, which is a feat to its self.
The only person I could not beat was AVH, that was why you were kept to the
final 4, AVH you were are a great player, & you are a player I still want to
beat one day, maybe I will.
If you haven't figured it out by now Jill & I had 2 alliances going. There was a
vote I think when Hyde was to be voted out, & the girls alliance didn't vote the
way they said they would, & it was a mixed up vote, we didn't know who we could
trust in the girls group, that was when we decided to stick with AVH & chuck.
Taps I feel like you harbor hard feelings towards me, I am sorry that you feel
that way, its a game. I still consider you a friend, you sent flowers to my
fathers funeral, for that I will always be grateful thank you. I still consider
you a friend & I hope we can work things out.
survivor is a game, when I play a game I play to win. Even here @ home playing
cards, etc, I always play to win, though I don't always win, I just play again &
laugh it off.
So when you the jury go to cast your vote. vote from your heart , like I said in
the beginning I won't ask you to vote for me or Jill.
So let your questions begin, after Jills statement.
Thank you, Sadielady (Shell)
This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Here
goes: (Jiljos)
As Sadie said, we got together about the first week of the
game. We never knew each other before this. We formed an alliance of
four girls (taps and Fraqr) and hoped to go to the final four with us four.
During that time Sadie or I (sorry I can't remember) was approached by Chuck to
form an alliance, which we did separate from the girls alliance. We needed
more then those 4 votes for tribal council, so after Random quit the game we had
enough. Chuck did not know about our alliance with Taps and Fraqr.
When the trade happened it was a scramble. Two of
the girls went to another tribe where they had their own struggles. I
united my 2 alliances and brought in 4th (AVH) so again the alliance had the
votes it needed in the tribal councils. We still planned to keep the
original girls alliance until the final 4 (if we could after the split).
Unfortunately, someone told us (sadie and I) something
that did not add up to our original plan with the 4 girls and doubt crept in.
The two tribes were reunited and Sadie and I decided to keep Chuck and AVH with
us. We kept Fraqr to the final 5 and it was hard to vote her out....Taps,
Epo had said you told her you knew the final three and since we had never talked
about a final three we thought you, Epo and someone else had an alliance without
us. That is what happened to the all girl thing we started. You made those
great websites which I still laugh at thinking of Chuck in the hula cheerleading
outfit! I apologize if we had it figured wrong, so much suspicion I guess.
Part of the game...
When we came to the final 4, AVH you were the
strongest by far I think and this is why you went next. Chuck I know you
said you and I to final 2 several times but I never agreed to that. Sadie
is the only one I ever said I would go to Final 2 with. I still can't believe we
did it. We did have a plan and I feel we followed it to the end. I
am not here because I am a great player, I just had a great plan with a good
back up plan. I guess that is the outwitting part.
Thanks to Arien and Jadzia and also the mystery
player. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of people, and had a great
teacher (AVH) during a rough summer/fall. Thanks for being so generous
with the time limits when I needed more time. I also won't ask for a vote
between Sadie and I, we both played the game together and never doubted each
other the entire game. To get this far was enough of a win. So
now...time for the questions...please be gentle lol :)
And with that, it is the jury who now for the first
time will interact with the 2.
Again how this will work is I will send out msgs to the jury and get them to
send me direct their questions/comments to help them in their decision in
casting the final vote.
hopefully I can get comments and questions from them by Sunday 4 December.
stay tuned...
ok the comments and questions are in.
For the first time in weeks, the jury will be able to address the 2 to help
decide their vote for the winner.
***
First up, MrHyde
"Whose idea was it to vote me out and why?"
Jiljos: MrHyde, I think it was a joint
decision to vote you out, not just Sadie and I , but at that time we were still
voting with Fraqr,Taps,AVH and Chuck and I think Epo as well. You were /are a
strong player and a threat to win immunity. You were not in our alliance so I
guess that made you next. Sadie, correct me please if I am wrong.
Sadie: To Mr. Hydes : Well I
am not sure who Idea it was but you were on my list as the next to go only
because your an excellant player, & I felt you were a threat in winning
immunitys, & better to pick off the strong 1st
***
Tapistry, you are up next
"Comments: First, Congratulations to both Jiljos an Sadie
for making it to the end. And a very special Thanks to arien, & jadzia for
putting on the greatest Survivor Games ever. I had a great time and loved the
fun games and all the history. Comment to Sadie: I don’t think anyone could
doubt for a minute my loyalties to our old Harimau tribe members, first and
foremost.! And truthfully, I doubted yours. Regarding you so called comment,
“girls alliance didn’t vote the way they said they would”. Oh yes, we did, but
there were 3 new members on the team and the and 9th vote was not counted and we
discussed who we voted for as well. I don’t appreciate you using us
“untrustworthy girls” to justify a change you made in your choices of
alliances.. You had planned to remain in your current alliance right after the
merge. juljos confirmed that in her statement. This is not personal, its just a
game. Congratulations for making it to the final two."
Jiljos: Taps,
thank you for the congratulations. As I said before ,I am sorry we misjudged
your alliance. Don has come forward and told me it was him who told Sadie (or
myself...still can't remember who) that Epo told him you commented on the final
three. I guess I didn't know you well enough at that time to 100% trust you ...
Don was playing the game well and planted a seed of doubt.You can't blame him
for that. I know it was a battle for you and Sadie after the trade and you both
scrambled to stay afloat, a job well done. It was after that seed of doubt was
planted and the merge that Sadie and I thought we had a better chance at fianl 4
with Chuck and AVH.
Sadie: To Taps : 1st
thank you for the congrats. 2nd when the merge came along, I was still for the
all girl alliance, it wasn't until Mr Hydes vote out that doubt crept in. If you
have doubted my trust since the very very beginning then you never got to know
me. & I am sure I am at some fault, I should have asked you more direct
questions before I had you voted out, but the seeds of doubt was planted by whom
am not real sure, after you were voted out, I tried to talk to you time & time
again, & I may have tried before hand I don't remember, but you never responed
to my questions, you just resigned from our game, I finally let it go. I never
planned on remaining with AVH & chuck before the merge or after the merge it was
the voting of Mr. hyde out, that left seeds of doubt in my & Jills mind, me &
jill then decided that we could trust AVH & chuck to the final 4, after that it
was luck & some skill.
***
Sadie: To Don: you ask
why have we stopped playing to win now?? Are you sure we have stopped playing to
win?? I like Jills answer to your question!! all I can say don if you vote for
Jill were still friends, if you vote for me, were still friends & I'll get that
ticket in the mail to real soon, so you can leave that cold Canada winter!! :)
Jiljos: AVH..what, just
one number, after I sent you all those cookies! How can I ever thank you for all
the help, tips, and advice you gave me over this game (rating went from 1350
-1550) I am so glad I got to know you and that you even let me win some games
against you (heehee) Oh, I pick 3 :)
Jiljos: Grandpa Chuck
(how long are you going to have that grin on your face) You ask me why I deserve
to win. I had a lot of fun but I also played the game to win. I was part of a
strong alliance and yet others did not realize how strong I was in that
alliance. I was not a follower, I was a partner and when on my own and had to
work both sides of two alliances. You never knew about each other. I told each
side I would talk to so and so and try to get them to vote with us, knowing
already the votes were already there. As I mentioned I feel I was honest in that
I never lied, if I did, someone please say so.I avoided questions but never
lied. Wait , at the beginning I promised 2 other girls Final 4 ,which never
happened and I have explained what happened there. I was relieved when Sadie won
the final immunity because I didn't want to have to vote you out, it was hard
enough voting AVH,Fraqr and Taps out.I think in the back of my mind, that is
partlywhy I suggested everyone to vote me out when I was away for several
weekdays. Do these things make me deserve to win more then Sadie..that is for
you to decide....I guess in the end all you can do is look at the game and
decide who outwitted and outplayed the best, because we both outlasted the same.
I know a few tribe members thought Sadie was making all the decisions, but I
feel we shared in them all...except for when the tribes were split. I could not
share in the voting, but we did discuss how things were going and stratigized
about the voting. So now it is up to all of you in jury to decide....
Sadie: To Chuck: my dear
chuck, why do I deserve to be chosen over Jill? Does Jill know your story about
blackie the snake?? A question with a question?? Chuck you deserve to be sitting
here with me & Jill, around this fire that is in the pit?? as far as am
concerned your a winner! I planned & played to win all my games in the rounds I
fought hard not to be voted out when I was thrown to the bears that was a shock,
I feel like I have out wited, some out played , & I have out last with Jill me &
Jill made a pact, I could have voted her off when we were the final 3, but I
kept my word that I had gave her, which I told you about this before the vote.
So am sure you being voted off was not a shock. vote from your heart, & we will
still be friends no matter what, which we already are! & Congrats Gramps!
Here is my closing statement. I hope
you enjoyed the game as much as I did. Thanks to Arien and Jadzia , others who
helped and to all the players. Have a great and wonderful holiday season. Stay
safe and be kind to yourself as well as others.Hug a loved one, phone someone
you haven't for awhile, smile at a stranger and say something nice to the person
behind the checkout counters, they are pretty stressed these days. Oh and one
more thing...vote :)
Chuck has just earned his log-in but it will be tough
to rescue his games.
Chuck has timed out on his last game. The game
was resigned and so there will be no score. The final pip count shows that
Sadie Lady wins immunity! Congrats Sadie!

Round 18 - Asia - Un-Cubed
This last round will take some skill
And complications test your will
What you need is to do your best
Out-wit, out-play, out-last the rest
Welcome back Naga. Congratulations on making it
to the final 3. AVH was voted out in the last round and is now the 6th member of
our jury. One jury member to go.
This will be the final round for team Naga.
Your backgammon skill will come into play this round. First things
first...Jill, I'll take back the immunity necklace now. Immunity is back
up for grabs.
Backgammon
is the oldest known recorded game in history. Traditionally, it was
believed to have originated in ancient Egypt, Sumeria or Mesopotamia in the
Persian empire (present-day Iran, Iraq, and Syria). However, more recent
conclusive evidence indicates that the game originated on the eastern borders of
Iran, near Afghanistan. The Iranian chancellor and thinker of the Sassanid
Empire Bozorgmehr (6th century) is said to have created the ancient version of
the game. In English, the word backgammon is believed to be derived from "back"
plus the Middle English word "gamen" (game).
Tabula was a form of backgammon played by the ancient Romans. It was called
tabula, which means 'table' or 'board', since it was played on a special board.
Tabula bears some similarity to Egyptian Senet, which dates back to at least
3000 BCE.
The oldest backgammon
board in the world along with 60 pieces has been unearthed beneath the rubble of
the legendary Burnt City in Sistan-Baluchistan province, southeastern Iran.
Iranian archeologists working on the relics of the 5,000-year-old civilization
argue this backgammon is much older than the one already discovered in
Mesopotamia and their evidence is strong enough to claim the board game was
first played in the Burnt City and then transferred to other civilizations.
"The board is rectangular and made of ebony, which did not grow in Sistan and
merchants used to import it from India." The board features an engraved
serpent coiling around itself for 20 times, thus producing 20 slots for the
game, more affectionately known in Persian as Nard. The engraving, artistically
done, indicates artisans in the Burnt City were masters of the craft. "The
60 pieces were also unearthed inside a terracotta vessel beside the board. They
were made of common stones quarried in the city, including agate and turquoise."
Experts still wonder why they played the game with 60 pieces and are trying to
discern its rules, but it at least shows it is 100-200 years older than the one
discovered in Mesopotamia.
They are also intrigued that inhabitants of ancient civilizations, widely
believed to be concerned with their daily survival, could afford to indulge in
such luxuries as playing board games.
Daily survival and backgammon...daily gammon... :)
The doubling cube was believed to be introduced in
New York in the 1920's by some unknown gambler which enhanced the element of
skill in the game increasing its marketability, insuring its place as a popular
pastime.
Let's get to today's challenge...
As I said earlier, your skill at backgammon will come into play this round.
Each of you is to play a 1 point game against our old friend AC-Clark. You
must win your game against AC-Clark in order to earn your log-in to the next
games, which will already be in progress. Once you have your log-in
you will have 3 games running. The twist here is that someone else will be
playing anti-gammon with your games while you try to earn your log-in. It
is to your advantage to earn your log-in and get to your game as soon as
possible before too much damage has occurred. If you aren't winning your
initial game (against AC-Clark) you may resign and start anew so that you don't
waste too much time earning a win. You may not resign your
secondary games. Those games are the counting games. Gammons and
backgammons are in effect. Best combined performance wins immunity.
Today's challenge:
Play and win multiple matches.
Aim: To win your games. Pip count will determine the best performance. Backgammons
and gammons in effect.
Mode: Each of you is to
invite AC-Clark to a 1 point match. (find him
here)
Instructions: To report your win/loss
and game numbers to Jadzia.
Reward: No
reward this round.
Proposed Time Limit
(not etched in stone, but a goal) October 26th
00:00GMT
Everyone did really well playing against the famous
AC Clarke. In spite of AVH winning the reward pips, and Smyrnachuck
winning his game by +35 pips, jiljos still managed the best performance with a
+40 pip count. Nicely done Jill! You get to take the immunity necklace
home with you. You are safe from the vote tonight.
Next up is Tribal Council. Please send me your
votes by Saturday Oct. 15th. 00:00 GMT. Remember you
cannot vote for Jiljos. Everyone else is fair game. Good luck Survivors!

Round 17 - Sri Lanka and the Mystery
Scientist
Welcome back Naga. Congratulations on making it
to the final 4. Fraqr was voted out last round and is now the 5th member of
our jury.
AVH…I’ll take the immunity necklace back now.
Immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge we visit Southern Asia and the
island nation of Sri Lanka.
Southern Asia (aka Indian Subcontinent) includes the
Republic of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the
Maldives. The Democratic Republic of Sri Lanka is a tropical island nation off
the southeast coast of India. The island was known in ancient times as
Lanka, Lankadeepa (sanskrit for "resplendent land") and Selan. During
colonization, the island became known as Ceylon, a name still used on occasion.
It's shape and proximity to the Indian mainland have led some to refer to the
island as India's Teardrop.
As with all Asian countries the history is long and
tumultuous. South Indian rulers attacked Sri Lanka on a number of
occasions. Occasionally such invasions resulted in Tamil rule of the island for
extended periods. Several Sinhala kings are noted for driving back the Tamil
invasions and retaking the capital.
In the past few hundred years the island was occupied
by the Portuguese, the Dutch and Great Britain. Ceylon became part of the
British Empire in 1815 and gained it's independence in 1948. In 1972 it's
name was changed to Sri Lanka. Ethnic wars between the Tamils and
the Sri Lankan government have raged for the past 2 decades and the
international anti-terrorist focus may have influenced the current ceasefire.
On December 26th, 2004 one of the deadliest natural
disasters in modern history (the Indian Ocean earthquake) stuck off the western
coast of Sumatra. The subsequent tsunamis reportedly killed over 220,000
people around the rim of the Indian Ocean. The impact on Sri Lanka was
severe. The south and east coasts were devastated by the 10-metre high
tsunami, and tens of thousands died.
These are some of the attributes that attracted many
famous people to reside in Sri Lanka. One of the most famous is the
British science fiction author Sir Arthur C Clarke, who has lived in Sri Lanka
since 1956. Clarke was not only a mystery/sci-fi writer, but was also a
scientist. He is famous for many things that we take for granted today.
Today's challenge: Win
your mysterious match.
Aim: To win your game. Pip count will determine the best performance. Backgammons
and gammons in effect.
Mode: Each of you is to
invite our famous scientist to a 1 point game. (find the
scientist
here)
Instructions: To report your win/loss
and game number to Jadzia.
Reward: Pay
attention because this is complicated...
The mystery player's true identity is what you need
to figure out. In order to do that you must gain letters and descramble
the name. In order to get letters you must roll a set of doubles.
When you roll the doubles message me. I will verify the doubles and then I
will send you a trivia question about AC Clarke. If you provide me with
the correct answer, I will provide you with a letter. If there are double
letters you will get them both. Example: if there are two e's in the name
you will earn them both with the one question. I will tell you when you have all
the letters.
You will get one guess per letter(s) earned.
The reward is for 20 extra pip in your favour in the
final pip count of your game against AC Clark.
The games are done and the results are in. Most
of you won your games. AVH managed a gammon and also had the greatest number of
reward pips for a total pip count of +128. Way to go AVH! You win
immunity!
Next up is Tribal Council. Please send me your
votes by Tuesday Oct. 4th. 00:00 GMT. Remember you
cannot vote for AVH. Everyone else is fair game. Good luck Survivors!

In the smoke and fire and ash,
VolcArien's gonna whoop your..."
Welcome back Naga. Congratulations on making it
to the final 5. epo was voted out last round and is now the 4th member of
our jury.
Sadie…I’ll take the immunity necklace back now.
Immunity is back up for grabs.
Today we are in the Republic of the Philippines.
This south eastern nation lies 1,210 km (750mi) away from mainland Asia and
consists of 7,107 islands that form part of the Malay Archipelago. (see map
blow)
Click to enlarge
The Philippines has been inhabited for thousands of
years. Aborigines collectively known as Negritos or Aetas crossed
prehistoric land and ice bridges. Later, waves of Austronesian speaking migrants
crossed from Southern China. Chinese merchants arrived in the 8th century.
Powerful Buddhist and Hindu empires rose in Southeast Asia. Essentially,
the islands were autonomous.
In the 16th century the Spanish brought large armies
and occupied and colonized the Philippines for 333 years. In 1898 during
the Spanish-American War, the United States occupied the Philippines.
Spain ceded the Philippines at that time for 20 million US dollars. In
that same year the Philippines unilaterally declared an independent Philippine
Republic. This was followed by the Philippine-American war and consequent US
occupation. They were then occupied by the Japanese during WW2 and
eventually were granted independence in 1946.
The following period was marred by civil
unrest and corruptions during the unpopular dictatorship of
Ferdinand Marcos, ousted in 1986. Communist insurgency and
Muslim separatists continue to be a major concern.
The country is astride the
typhoon belt of the Western Pacific and is battered by about 19
typhoons per year. Laying on the northwestern fringes of
the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines experiences frequent
seismic and volcanic activities....
and you are about to be smoked by
VolcArien
Today's challenge: Each
player will battle it out with VolcArien.
Aim: To win your game. Pip count will determine the best performance. Backgammons
and gammons in effect.
Mode: Each of you is to
invite VolcArien to a 1 point game.
(find him
here)
Instructions: To report to win/loss
and game number to Jadzia.
Reward background Note:
Imelda Marcos, former First Lady of
the Philippines, is known as the "Steel Butterfly" and was dubbed
the "Muse of Manila" in her early days. She was arrested
for corruption and extortion during her husband's presidency...a
question of nearly $700 million missing from the treasury.
On her exile to Hawaii in 1986, the opposition reportedly found
3,000 pairs of her shoes, among other interesting and expensive
items.
Reward: Shoes come in
2's. For every 2 you roll, you will take 2 pips off your
pip count. Double 2's count for 8 pips. Reward
will be shared by all this round.
Sadie wins Immunity for the second time in a
row! A very close game, beating epo by only 2 pips. It turns out
that she didn't need the bonus pips of 10 from Smyrnachuck that brought her
total pip count up to 12. Way to go Sadie!
Next up is Tribal Council. Please send me your
votes by Monday Sept 19th. 00:00 GMT. Remember you
cannot vote for Sadielady. Everyone else is fair game. Good luck Survivors!
* * *
The games are done and the results are in.
Smyrnachuck wins reward for rolling an unreal amount of doubles in his
games...16 in all! Unfortunately Chuck, in spite of all the doubles you
did not place high enough to out perform the others and will have to donate that
reward.
On the other hand epo's collective pip count is
a whopping +26, while Sadielady scored second with an impressive +15.
Nicely done ladies! This puts you two as the top performers in this round.
You will now play each another in a one pointer
for immunity. Chuck...you must graciously donate the reward to the
finalist of your choice. Please post below on your choice.
Ladies...start your game. You will have until
Friday, Sept 16th, 00:00 GMT to complete your game...after which we will
meet for Tribal Council. Good luck!!
This gives Sadielady a 10 pip advantage against
epo.

Round 15 - Double Trouble - Malaysia
Malaysia sits in east and west
Another milestone on your quest
Double games will be your test
Immunity for the one who's best
Welcome back Naga. Congratulations on making it
to the final 6. Canuck Don was voted out last round and is the third member of
the jury.
Sadie…I’ll take the immunity necklace back now.
Immunity is back up for grabs.
The Federation of Malaysia, or simply Malaysia
is a country in Southeast Asia. It consists of two distinct geographical
regions divided by the South China Sea (see map below).
West Malaysia shares a land border on the north
with Thailand and is connected by a causeway and a bridge on the south with
Singapore.
East Malaysia, the north and western part of
the island of Borneo, is bordered to the south by Indonesia and borders the
Sultanate of Brunei on the east, south and west.
Malaysia has a long history. It's
earliest recorded Malay kingdoms grew from coastal city-ports established in the
10th century. It now has a "constitutional elective" monarchy in which a
king is selected for a 5 year term from among nine sultans. Although the
Malaysian constitution theoretically guarantees religious freedom, by
constitutional definition all Malays are Muslim.
Two regions...Two opponents...two parts to this
round.
Today's challenge: Each player will play
two other players. The two players with the best performance will play off
for immunity. The match-up was determined by dice roll.
Aim:
To win your game. Pip count will determine the best performance. Backgammons
and gammons in effect.
Mode: Play a one point game against your
two opponents. The player on the left will invite the two opponents on the
right.
Fraqr v Sadie and Chuck
Epo v AVH and Sadie
Jill v AVH and Chuck
Instructions: To report to win/loss
and game number to Jadzia.
Reward: Any doubles rolled in the game
will count as reward doubles. The player with the most doubles at the end
of the first part of this round will win reward. If there is a tie in the number
of doubles rolled, the sum of the doubles will determine the winner.
Reward = -10 from your pip count in the playoff
game.
Here's the twist...if the player who wins
reward does not make it to the final playoff, he or she must donate that
reward to one of the finalists!
Congrats to Fraqr on her new baby! What amazes
me is that she got home in time to finish her game on time!! Well done Fraqr. ;)
There were only two successful wins in this
round...epo and Sadielady. Canuck Don won reward with the most dble 2's,
and shared the reward with jiljos, but alas it didn't take enough off his or her
pip count to even approach Sadie's outstanding win against Jadzia Khan. Nice
going Sadielady! You win immunity!
I will now send out the ballots for you to
return to me. Remember...you cannot vote for Sadie. Voting should be finished by
Wednesday August 31, 00:00 GMT. At which time we will hold Tribal Council. If
all votes are in before then, TC will be sooner. See you then.

Round 14 - Jadzia Khan - Siberia
Welcome back Naga. Congratulations on making it
to the final 7. Tapistry was voted out last round and is the second member of
the jury, joining Mr Hyde.
epo…I’ll take the immunity necklace back now.
Immunity is back up for grabs.
Today we visit the desolate
and sparsely populated area of Northern Asia known as Siberia.
The name
Siberia translates from the Russian word “Sibir” meaning “sleeping
land”. It is a vast region of Russia and northern Kazakhstan constituting
almost all of northern Asia, with an area of over 9,653,000 sq kms. It extends
eastward from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and southward from the
Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-central Kazakhstan and the borders of both
Mongolia and China. All but the extreme south-western area of Siberia lies in
Russia, and makes up about 75% of that country’s territory. If Siberia were to
secede from Russia it would be the world’s 2nd largest country, with
only Canada being larger.
Siberia was occupied by many differing groups of nomads, such as
the Yenets, the Nenets, the Uyghurs and the Huns. It was conquered by the
Mongols in the 13th century and eventually became the autonomous
Siberian Khanate (a region under the rule of a Khan). The Mongol Empire was
also tremendously destructive. It is estimated that
30 million people were killed during the reign of the Mongol Empire, and the
population of China fell by half in only fifty years of Mongol rule and the
Khanate.
The
growing power of Russia to the west began to undermine the Khanate in the 16th
century, and eventually Russian controlled areas extended to the Pacific.
"Jadzia Khan is fierce and fast
Against her sword you may not last
Fight
to protect your territory
And
you may live to tell the story"
Today’s
Challenge: Attempt to protect your territory from the fierce Jadzia Khan. She
is a skilled warrior and rarely takes prisoners. Those she lets live may be
exiled to the frozen wastelands of Siberia. Those who defeat her will live to
tell about it.
Aim:
To win your game. Best performance wins immunity. Pip count will determine the
best performance. Backgammons and gammons in effect.
Mode:
Jadzia Khan will invite you to a 1 point battle. Bring your sword!
Reward
double: 2
Reward =
-8 from your pip count
Deadline: Monday, August 29,
00:00 GMT
Note
on reward: Reward will only be issued to one person who will share with one
other. The person to roll the most double 2’s will win reward. If there is a
tie in double 2’s then the most double 5’s (opposite side of the dice) will
determine who gets the reward 2’s. If there is a further tie, most doubles will
count.
Round 14 - Prelude
This will be a reward round. Please SECRETLY
nominate someone to share reward with you...should you win it. The round will
begin on Monday, so please message me with your nominations before then.
Everyone has again finished early...gotta love
that bot!
epo made the full prime closest to the 1 point
in the least number of moves. Way to go epo! You win immunity!
Canuck Don should at least get honourable
mention for having made two full primes in his game. That's pretty fancy
footwork! Unfortunately, it was either too far away or too many moves to earn
the big prize.
You can start thinking about the vote. Remember, epo has immunity and cannot be
voted for. We may as well keep our original date for the vote.
Deadline: Tuesday, August

Survivor Asia - Round 13 - The
Great Wall of China
Come on in Naga. Mr Hyde was voted out
last round and is the first member of the jury. Congratulations to the
final 8. AVH...I'll take the immunity necklace back now.
Today's challenge is the Great Wall of China.
China’s Great
Wall is included in lists of the "Seven Medieval Wonders of the World" but was
of course not one of the classical Seven Wonders of the World recognized by the
ancient Greeks.
The first major
wall was built during the reign of the first emperor, the main emperor of the
short-lived Qin dynasty (3rd century BC). This wall was not
constructed as a single endeavour, but rather was created by the joining of
several regional walls built by the warring states. It was located much further
north than the current Great Wall, and very little remains of it. A defensive
wall on the northern border was built and maintained by several dynasties at
different times in Chinese history.
The Great Wall
that can still be seen today was built during the Ming dynasty, on a much larger
scale and with longer lasting materials than any wall that had been built
before. The primary purpose of the wall was not to keep out people, who could
scale the wall, but to insure that semi-nomadic people on the outside of the
wall could not cross with their horses or return easily with stolen property.
There is a
longstanding disagreement about how visible the wall is in space. It is said
that the Great Wall is the only man-made object visible from the moon. This myth
has persisted, assuming urban legend status, sometimes even entering school
textbooks. The Great Wall simply cannot be seen by the unaided eye from the
distance of the moon. Even its visibility from near-earth orbit is questionable.
"Build a wall in one long band,
To keep the raiders from your land.
Build it close and not remote,
To keep you safe from the next vote."
Today's
challenge...you will attempt to build a great wall to keep the raiders and
thieves from your lands. A successful wall will be built in the form of a
full prime, closest to the 1 point (at least 2x6, see example below, but may
have additional pips on the points). In the event of a tie, the prime
built in the least number of moves will win immunity. Beyond that, a tie
breaker will be used. If no one achieves a full prime, then prime will win
(at least 2x5) and so on until we have a winner.
Aim: To build a great wall (2x6)
Mode: Play a 1 ptr backgammon with the bot.
Instructions: To report to Jadzia on game
and move number of their wall.
It seems as though the Nagas
were enthusiastic about their challenge and have finished days ahead of
schedule. One member out played all the others.
!!AVH WINS IMMUNITY !!
**places immunity necklace
over AVH’s head**
Congratulations on winning
the first personal immunity!
Congratulations to the
players who were able to secure a mountain.
Reward was, for every double
3 rolled, your mountain would be moved one point further from the 1 point
position. Reward was to be shared with the secretly nominated players. In this
case, AVH earned 2 reward points for him and his nominees, and so did
Smyrnachuck. Unfortunately, neither of their nominees was able to build a
mountain and share in the reward.
You will have a few days to
think about how you are going to vote. PLEASE NOTE:
Those you vote off from now on will become part of the final jury.
Tribal Council public. I will send out the ballots soon.
The deadline for voting (send
to Jadzia) is Friday, August 5th, 00:00 GMT
Naga… you can head back to

Survivor Asia - Rd 12
Welcome to the new tribe the remaining 9
of you. Congratulations on making
it this far in the game. Now the physics
of the game has been changed with
the merger. You will no longer compete as
a group but as individuals
competing for personal immunity. The
person with the immunity necklace
around their neck will be safe from votes,
while all others will be fair
game. Ok, are you ready for today's
challenge?
What better place to begin the birth of the
Naga tribe than at the top of
the world? The Himalaya is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian
subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of
the massive mountain system which includes the Himalaya proper, the
Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and a host of minor ranges extending from the
Pamir Knot. Together, the Himalayan mountain system is the planet's highest
and home to all 14 of the world's highest peaks, the Eight-thousanders,
including Mount Everest. Etymologically Himalaya means "abode of snow" in
Sanskrit ( from hima "snow", and aalaya "abode"). The Himalaya stretch
across five nations - Pakistan, India, China, Bhutan, and Nepal.
For today's challenge, you will attempt to
scale Sagarmatha (Sanskrit for "Forehead of the Sky"), better known as
Mount Everest. A successful scaling of the mountain will require you to
construct a 1-2-3-2-1 (see picture below). This pattern must be exactly
as shown. In the event of a tie, the person who constructed the
mountain in the least move will win immunity. And in the event of a tie
in the number of moves, the person who created their mountain the
furthest from their 1 pt will then win. Anything beyond, a tie breaker
will be used.
* * *
"Hail the new born dragon flying in the
sky
Majestically it soars ever so high
Gone are the days of your old alliances
Time for new friendship and new
alliances"
Aim: To build a mountain (1-2-3-2-1)
Mode: Play a 1 ptr backgammon with the bot
Instructions: To report to Jadzia on game
and move number of their mountain
Reward doubles: 3
Reward: -1 move for their mountain

Survivor Asia - Rd12 Prelude
Ok come on in everybody, Sven Sveetheart
got voted out in last night's tribal
council. He will be missed.
Ok, let's get on with the game.
First things
first, Beruang, I need you to hand me back
the immunity idol. You will no
longer covert this, instead you will want
to have this personal immunity
necklace around your neck. Everybody, I
want you all to drop your buffs
now... yes a merger!
*Hands out blue buffs*
No more Harimau, no more Beruang. Now you
are all in 1 tribe and your tribe
name is Naga (meaning "Dragon").
Some other changes to the game, namely
reward challenges. No more mystery
city and country. However, doubles are still in play. The person who gets
the most specified doubles will win reward. Again reward will be small but
may get you closer to the coveted personal immunity. And enjoying your
spoils alone is no fun, so before each round, please nominate 2 tribe
members you will like to take along with you. Do not post them openly but
send a private message to the host the names of the nominated. These 2 that
you nominated will get to enjoy the same rewards as the reward winner
Questions? If none, please nominate via
PERSONAL MESSAGE the 2 players you
want to take with you on reward should you
win it.
Nomination Deadline:
28 July (Thursday) 00:00GMT

Survivor Asia - Rd 11 Things That Go
Hiss
First thing's first, Beruang, I will take
the immunity idol back now.
Immunity! Back up for grabs. NoahTall was voted out in the last tribal
council.
Today, we will move across Thailand's
border. Upon achieving independence
in 1948, the country became known as the
"Union of Burma", derived from the
British spelling of present-day Myanmar.
In 1989, the ruling military
government renamed the country "The Union
of Myanmar". The name Union of
Myanmar is recognized by the United
Nations, but several countries including
the United States, the United Kingdom, and
Canada refer to Myanmar as Burma.
Myanmar derives from the Burmese name
Myanma naingandaw, which literally
translates as "country of
Myanmar". Myanmar is bordered by Bangladesh,
China, India, Laos, Thailand, Bay of
Bengal, and the Andaman Sea.
Python molurus bivittatus, also commonly
known as Burmese python, is one of
the largest of all snakes, growing up to
25 feet, usually 20 and weighing up
to 190 pounds. They lack an outer and
middle ear and are therefore deaf to
airborne sounds of all but the lowest
frequencies, and is also mute or at
best can utter a hissing sound by forcing
air through the larynx. Their
sense of smell is the most acute sense.
The tongue is flicked out and in
carrying scent particles to the Jacobson's
organ in the roof of the mouth.
The Burmese python is carnivorous, feeding
on mammals and birds. The snake
uses its sharp backward pointing teeth to
seize its prey. It then wraps its
powerful body two or more times around the
prey at the same time contracting
its muscles, killing the prey by
asphyxiation.
For today's challenge, you will, like
the Burmese python, attempt to squeeze
the life out of your opponent. Do so
by creating, as long as you can, a string
of consecutive blots. (see pic of my
pet Albert going for the kill of the
poor blue mouse huddling in the
corner). You have been paired according to
your ratings. Wins will be awarded to
the person who can uncoil a longer
snake than his/her opponent's. Tribe
with most wins will win immunity!
"Flick your tongue, and taste the air
Make the board your python's lair
Their lungs? Air will diminished!
Their lives? Slowly extinguished!"
Aim: To have a longer STRING of
CONSECUTIVE BLOTS than your opponent (see
List)
Mode: to play a 1 ptr nack with your
opponent.

***BERUANG WINS IMMUNITY!!***
Apparently the 2 chosen strongest and baddest did not live up to their
reputation, winning only 40% and 20% of their games.
Well Harimau, I will see you all at tribal council where you will vote off
one of your own.
Survivor Asia - Rd 10 Muay Thai
First thing's first, Beruang, I will take the immunity
idol back now. Immunity! Back up for grabs. robbob was voted out in the last
tribal council.
A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as
Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have
been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a
constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II,
Thailand became a US ally following the conflict.
Occupying a central position on the Southeast Asia peninsula, Thailand is
bordered by Myanmar on the west and northwest, by Laos on the north and east
(the Mekong River forms much of the line), by Cambodia on the southeast, and
by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia on the south.
Traditional Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand as a martial art used
by the military. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Science of Eight Limbs",
as the hands, feet, elbows and knees are all used extensively in this art.
For today's challenge. I have asked you to nominate your strongest, baddest
and meanest tribe member. He/She will face the members of the opposing
tribe, making it 5 rounds of Muay Thai for the chosen. The one with the most
wins win immunity for their tribe. In the event of a tie in the number of
wins, the one with the quickest despatch in any of the wins will be the
winner. In the rare case that the so called "strongest, baddest and meanest
tribe member" fail to even win a single round, the one who lasted the
longest in any of the rounds will then be the winner.
Beruang you have chosen MrHyde, and Harimau you have chosen SMYRNACHUCK.
Beruang as you have 1 member less, MrHyde will make up the 5th opponent that
Harimau's SMYRNACHUCK will spar.
"Fight to the last, you have been chosen
STRONGET ...BADDEST, the tribe has spoken
Knock all of your opponents out cold
Losing tribe-vote one from your own fold"
Mode: All Harimau save SMYRNACHUCK will play a 1 ptr backgammon with MrHyde
and all Beruang including MrHyde will play a 1 ptr backgammon with
SMYRNACHUCK
Aim: To despatch your opponents as quickly as possible
Instructions: Chosen to report to me when game is done.
Deadline: Wednesday 6th July 00:00 GMT
Reward: None
Other Note: If your opponent is not moving, please report to me.
*** Round 9 Aftermath ***
After a tense tie-breaker, Canuck Don
managed to shut out jiljos from constructing her tower.
http://www.dailygammon.com/bg/game/863189/1/list
Hence a tower of 6 stories was enough to secure immunity for Beruang.
Harimau, I will see you at tribal council.
Deadline for voting : Thursday 23 June 00:00 GMT
***
All games are done save Chuck
vs epo. As everyone is aware, the highest towers are built by both Berunag's
Canuck Don and Harimau's jiljos. Congrats to both survivors. As there is a
tie for tribe immunity, Canuck Don and jiljos will square off in a 1 ptr to
see who can duplicate their 13 storey tower.
TIE BREAK : Canuck Don vs jiljos (1ptr backgammon)
Construct tower at 1 pt, player with tallest tower wins immunity for his/her
tribe.
Deadline : Monday 20 June 00:00 GMT
Instructions: To report move number of highest tower position
to Arien.
Survivor Asia - Rd 9 Standing Tall
Taiwan's Tower 101
Come on in Beruang. Paulineee was edged out
in the last tribal council.
Harimau I will take that back now. Immunity, back up for grabs.
After Japan's defeat at the end of World
War II in 1945, Taiwan was turned
over to the Republic of China and governed under a military administration.
In 1949, upon losing the Chinese Civil War to the Communist Party of China,
the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) retreated from mainland China and moved the ROC
government to Taipei, Taiwan's largest city, while continuing to claim
sovereignty over all of China and Mongolia. On the mainland, the Communists
established the People's Republic of China, claiming to be the successor
state of both the mainland and Taiwan and portraying the ROC government on
Taiwan as an illegitimate entity.
Taiwan is bounded to the east by the
Pacific Ocean, to the south by the
South China Sea, to the west by the Taiwan Strait, and to the north by the
East China Sea. The island is 245 miles long and 90 miles wide and consists
of steep mountains covered by tropical and subtropical vegetation.
Taipei 101 is a massive 60-foot spire
inspired by Taiwan's native bamboo
plant, Taipei 101 Tower is one of the tallest buildings in the world. The
design of Taipei 101 borrows heavily from Chinese culture. Both the
building's interior and exterior incorporate the Chinese pagoda form and the
shape of bamboo flowers. The lucky number eight, which means blooming or
success, is represented by the eight clearly delineated exterior sections of
the building.
For today's challenge. Stack up your pips at point 1, the tribe whose
member can build the highest tower will win immunity.
"Taiwan's tower 101
Duplicate it at point one
The highest tower is what you want
Immunity is what you'll flaunt"

First and foremost, I will take that back
now Harimau. Immunity is back up for grabs. TraceRacing quit the last round,
so no tribal council for Beruang.
The last round proved to be pretty
eventful, but the twists to Rd 7:Amazing Race is not over just yet...
Now, I need NoahTall, and robbob to come
forward, drop your buffs and take these *Hands out YELLOW BUFFS*
Yes, both of you are now part of the Harimau tribe, you can join your new
tribe mates.
Now in my hand, I have 2 red buffs, 2 of you from Harimau will become
Beruang. The 2 of you are Tapistry *Hands her red buff* and SadieLady *Hands
her the other red buff*
Why you have been singled out is that the 4 of you are the slowest in the
last round, deemed as socially inept. Now to hone your social skills with
your new found tribe. Good luck!
Now back to business...
Mongolia is a landlocked nation in central Asia, bordered by Russia to the
north and the People's Republic of China to the south. It was the centre of
the Mongol Empire of the 13th century, but was ruled by the Chinese Qing
dynasty from the end of the 17th century until an independent government was
again formed with Soviet assistance in 1921. After the fall of the Soviet
Union, Mongolia became a democracy. The 18th largest country in the world,
Mongolia has very little arable land: much of its area is grassland, with
mountains in the north and west and the Gobi Desert in the south. Most of
the population are nomadic or semi-nomadic Lamaist Buddhists of the Mongol
ethnicity.
Genghis Khan, born Temujin, is probably the most renowned Mongol. Genghis
Khan and his descendants managed to create the largest contiguous empire in
history in just under 200 years, controlling most of Eurasian continent or
half of the known world as of today's Eastern Europe, Middle East, Central,
North, East and Southeast Asia.
For today's challenge, master up enough warriors (will be known as
StormTroopers, to commemorate the latest Star Wars movie ROTS) and face off
with your opposing tribe. There are 2 parts to this challenge.
1. Mastering of Storm Troopers - each tribe will play a total of 20 1 ptr
games against the bot. Games will be decided by Rd 7 order, see list below.
For every win, the pip count is added to your Storm Pottery, gammon and
backgammon are in play for scoring. (Should the bot resign, you will not
get gammon or backgammon multiplicators, but you will have both the bots,
as well as your pip count added.) Losses do not count, nor will it subtract
from your Storm Pottery.
2. At the end of the 20
games, total pip count in your Storm Pottery will be
divided by 10 and rounded down, that will give you the number of
Storm Troopers. You then have to elect 1 from your tribe to play against the
bot. Results do not matter. The number of Storm Troopers will determine
the number of dice rolls for your tribe. Then we will have a dice version
of the card game "War"
http://www.pagat.com/war/war.html
Example:
B : 5 StormTroopers, H : 3 StormTroopers
1 person elected to play the bot
B Dice rolls (first 5 dice rolls as they
have 5 StormTroopers)
1-1
5-4
3-2
2-2
6-5
H Dice rolls (only first 3 dice rolls as
they have only 3 StormTroopers)
3-2
6-6
5-5
Both the rolls are compared numerically
1-1(B) vs 3-2(H) = 2 vs 5 - H Wins
5-4(B) vs 6-6(H) - H Wins
3-2(B) vs 5-5(H) - H wins
subsequent 2 rolls are won by B because H has got none
total score is B:2, H:3 making H the winner for immunity.
"Build your army as you play
This time team work is the way.
One will lead the trooper's shout.
One will then be voted out."
Mode : See list for number of 1 ptr
backgammon games to be played against

Round 7 Amazing Race :Singapore
First thing's first, I need you NoahTall
and Sven Sveetheart to hand back
your personal immunity. Tribe immunity back up for grabs in this round.
Allow me to play host for this round...
Singapore is an island city-state in
Southeast Asia, situated on the
southern tip of Malay Peninsula, south of
the state of Johor of Peninsular
Malaysia and north of the Indonesian
islands of Riau. It is located at one
of the crossroads of the world.
Singapore's strategic position has helped it
grow into a major centre for trade,
communications, and tourism.
Singapore is the second most densely
populated independent country in the
world, though small at around four million, is a multiracial society,
consisting of Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians. With this mixture of
people, Singapore is also a mixture of religions. Its skyline boasts the
distinctive minarets of mosques, spires of gothic cathedrals, intricate
figurines of Hindu temples, and distinctive roof architecture of Chinese
temples. The main religions are Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism.
The official languages of Singapore are English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil.
For today's immunity challenge, because it
is a
multi-racial/religious/language society, you need to soak up all the
different cultures. In order to do so, you need to visit the 4 communities.
They are situated all over the backgammon board on points 3, 10, 15, 22.
Get exactly 3 pips on each of these to score a heart.
Each of these 4 points can only be scored
once, and should you miss any of
them, you are allowed to play another game to score on the eluded points.
You can try as many games as you like. The tribe with the most hearts
scored wins immunity. In the event of a tie, the number of games played
will determine the winner.
The 4 pillars represent four races
That will put you through the paces
Earn a heart but not for fun
When you get 4 you will be done
Mode: Play a 1ptr BACKGAMMON against the
bot
Aim: To get exactly 3 pips on points 3, 10, 15, 22 to score a heart. Tribe
with most hearts wins immunity
Deadline: 25 May (Wednesday) 00:00 GMT
Instructions: To report game number and move number to me when scored.
Reward Challenge: Mystery city and country
Reward Doubles: 4 (as you can play countless games)
Reward: +1 heart awarded to winning tribe
When you get your doubles, message me the game number and move number to
receive your assigned letter.
If the bot resigns, too bad. Simply try again.
Round 6 Aftermath
After some slick moves, some normal moves,
and a very UNLUCKY move, here are the results of round 6: See the grid
below. Winners of immunity in red.
It is time to vote...
Beruang, you cannot vote for Noah Tall.
Harimau, you cannot vote for Sven
Sveetheart.

Survivor Asia - Round 6 Double
Trouble: Cambodia
Come on in Harimau. Beruang taking a good
look at the new Harimau tribe.
Hubi voted off the last tribal council. Berunang,
I'll take the idol.
Tribe immunity is not what you covet in
this round, but 2 personal
immunity, 1 for each tribe, is up for
grabs.
Cambodia, country in Southeast Asia, also
known as Kampuchea. More
than a thousand years ago, Cambodia was
the center of the Khmer
(Cambodian) kingdom of Angkor, a great
empire that dominated Southeast
Asia for 600 years. A monarchy since
ancient times, Cambodia was a
French protectorate from 1863 to 1953. A
republic replaced the
monarchy in 1970, and in 1975 a Communist
regime known as the Khmer
Rouge took power, naming the country
Democratic Kampuchea.
Cambodia is
bound on the northeast by Laos, on the east and southeast by
Vietnam, on the west and northwest by
Thailand, and on the southwest
by the Gulf of Thailand (Siam). The
country's capital and largest city
is Phnom Penh.
Three decades of war in Cambodia have left
scars in many forms
throughout the country. Unfortunately, one
of the most lasting
legacies of the conflicts continues to
claim new victims daily. Land
mines, laid by the Khmer Rouge, the Heng
Samrin and Hun Sen regimes,
the Vietnamese, the KPNLF, and the
Sihanoukists litter the
countryside.
Because Harimau won the reward in RD 5,
Harimau's reward is in picking
their opponent for this round. Please
choose either to face Jadzia or
me.
Today's challenge. To try to win the game
in as few moves as possible. Winners
from both tribes will win personal
immunity. In the event that no one
from the tribe wins their game, the one
with the least pip count will
be the winner. If everyone gets blown out
of the game (see reward),
the person who survives longest in terms
of moves wins immunity.
"quickly cross but watch your step
2 double 4s is all you get
tiptoe fastest in your game
immunity for you to stay in the game"
Mode: Play a 1ptr BACKGAMMON against
Jadziarien
Aim: To win the game in the least
moves. A winner from each tribe will
earn personal immunity.
Deadline: 10 May (Monday)
00:00 GMT
Instructions: To report game number to me
when completed
Reward Challenge: Anti-Reward
Reward Doubles: 4
Reward: Everyone starts with 2 lives, and
for every double 4 you
roll, you lose 1 life. Roll 2 sets of
double 4's, and you are considered blown out of the game.
This round is dedicated to those who
have been killed, or maimed by landmines. Many of them are not
soldiers, but women, children and domestic or wild animals. For
more information go here.
All votes are to be sent to arien no later by Sunday

JAJ feels that 20 pips is too little a
reward to be playing for. We will do away with the 20 pips, and instead up
the stakes to a mysterious prize. We will not divulged too much into it, but
it will certainly help you very much in Round 6.
The deadline on this round
has been extended 3 days
Beruang wins immunity for the first time
with a resounding victory!!!
Harimau, I will see you at your first

Immunity is back up for grabs. Harimau...I'll take the immunity idol

Japan, island nation in East Asia, located in
the North Pacific Ocean off
the coast of the Asian continent. Japan
comprises the four main islands of
Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, in
addition to numerous smaller
islands. The Japanese call their country Nihon
or Nippon, which means
"origin of the sun". Sumo wrestling is an
ancient sport dating back at
least 1500 years, and was a form of ritual
dedicated to the gods with
prayers for a good harvest. They were
performed with sacred dancing and
dramas within the walls of the Shinto shrines.

Round 3 Race For Rice
Come on in Beruang. Harimau taking a good look at
the new Beruang tribe. Graham voted off in the last tribal council.
Today we will be racing for rice. Food, as you
know, is an important commodity in the game of survivor, so you would want to gain as much grains of rice as you can. At the end of the race the tribe with the most number of grains of rice wins immunity.
Harimau, you have one extra member. Choose someone to sit out the next challenge. A person cannot sit out back to back challenges. You have chosen to sit Sadielady out.
"Now we are talking about what to eat One man's poison is another man's meat Gain as much rice is what you aspire Granary balance determines how many to retire"
Mode : Play a 1 pointer against the bot (gb001). Aim : For every game won, the pip count (rice grain) will be added to your granary. Lose, and your losing rice grains will be credited to your other tribe's granary. (Backgammon will count as triple and gammon a double of the pip counts)
Deadline : 05 April 00:00 GMT Instructions : To report the game number to me when completed.
Reward Doubles: 1
Get double 1's and you instantly gain +10 rice grains to your tribe's granary.
Other information : Losing tribe with a difference of 100 grains of rice or less will vote 1 member off, while a difference of above 100 grains will see you having to vote 2 members off.
Higher up
on the beach, the 2 conchs could be found in the hands of Canuck Don and random.
Canuck was the first to lay claim. Now it is time to divide the rest of the
survivors into 2 tribes. (This will be done via "Divide and Conquer" shown in
Vanuatu, one will divide the survivors into 2 groups,
while the other chooses which group he will join). Canuck has selected
"Conquer", hence random will have to "Divide".

1. thank you all for reporting of your scores and completing your games

Okay, basically, I looked at
the two lists, found a few players on one of them who have handed me my backside
without effort, and thought that might be a sign of strength. Not quite as
random as r a n d o m, but it's not exactly a Excel spreadsheet, either.
Team two, best of luck to you.
Team one, let's go find ourselves a comfortable stretch of Asian beachfront.
