I think the next move from here should be fire down and then maybe players up. Still thinking it through.

[Ryan B]

Here is our fastest path to victory. This is a slightly risky path, but I think it's better to enact a fast plan before other players catch on.

This plan has the added bonus of keeping the both of us alive until the end so we can schedule as need be.

fire left (7:59 AM Tue)

This fire move isn't vital. It will prevent green/blue counter move next turn (player-right).

Players left at 8:59 Tue wins for us. Red's best counter is player-up. If this happens, fire-left will win.

[Ryan B]

To summarize:

fire right (1:59 AM Sat)
players down (2:59 PM Sat)
fire down (3:59 AM Sun)
players left (4:59 PM Sun)
fire down (5:59 AM Mon)
players left (6:59 PM Mon)
fire left (7:59 AM Mon) (this move is not vital)
players left (8:59 PM Tue)


The next two moves are the most important.

Only Frank and Tim contested me tonight. I'm sure Frank will try again in 13 hours since his butt is on the line next. Trevin was the only other one who tried, even though he was an hour early.

Players down at 2:59 PM Sat is a huge move for us since it eliminates four players, including Frank. It also puts me in a safe position. Frank probably wants to move up. Tim probably wants to move left. Moving left is especially bad for us.

I will try my best to be there on time tomorrow but I can't guarantee it. If you're available, do your best to sync up with the minute rollover on the board prior to posting.

I'm sure you already know all this. Just making sure to cover all my bases.

[Ryan B]

PM from Frank

Subject: OH WELL

Yeaaah wasn't trying to get you out or anything, just figured you guys wouldn't want to move down tomorrow if you had a fireball there. Oh well ~ Good luck, I hope you guys beat the white team since it seems you and them are the only ones playing

Good times! Frank is out! Seven players left on the board. I think Tim and Trevin are the only other ones who are trying.

Fire down (3:59 AM Sun) would save us a day in the long run, but it's not critical. I don't think I'll be able to post that one today, unfortunately. If you're able to pick it up, let me know.

I can take care of this this next player move left. Can I put you in charge of the 5:59 AM fire down? I think it makes more sense for someone in EST to take care of it than someone in PST.

It's not a crisis if we don't get that move in - it just takes us a day longer to win.

We missed one. No big deal. We'll revise accordingly.

Alternatively, if I wanted to knock Trevin out this round:

players down (6:59 PM Mon) (trevin/brentin/ty killed) (nikki locked)
fire down (7:59 AM Tue)
players left (8:59 PM Tue)
fire down (9:59 AM Wed)
players left (10:59 PM Wed)
fire down (11:59 AM Thu)


I'll make a decision by post time.

[Ryan B]

Note: Trevin is a cock and is officially our biggest enemy.


Trevin snuck in there and eliminated me. Here's what you need to to to take charge:

Trevin will move the next fireball move down. Let him do that.
You need to move the players up (8:59 PM Tue) immediately after that. This is vital! This will eliminate Trevin. He's gotten good with post timing, so sync your clock well.

After that, moving the fireballs won't matter. You just need to keep moving the players left.

players left (10:59 PM Wed)
players left (12:59 AM Fri)

I sent a PM to Trevin. His team placed 8th in the challenge and unless two teams fail to complete, they will be in the bottom three.



Subject: Hey Trev

I know we got off to the wrong foot, but I've got a suggestion.

In the fast pass challenge, only Silver, Black, Red, Orange, and White remain.

It is currently impossible for Silver to win, so that really only leaves Red, Orange, Black and White.

Orange, Black and Red placed 1st, 3rd and 4th respectively in Leg 1. None of those teams will likely use the Fast Pass if they win it. If you win it, everyone will expect you to use it very soon, and the lower tier teams (5th-10th) will worry about that.

You are in the bottom three this round and if you're still alive on that game board, I bet you that White will be the most likely target. If you tank the Fast Pass challenge (i.e. kill yourself as soon as possible), people will not worry about you using the Fast Pass and you stand a greater chance of being spared.

Food for thought. I suggest you move up the next time you move the players.

His reply: Thank you for your "concern" however ouyr official times have yet to be released yet and we do not yet know how i finished. I was eight to check in, we do not know what place i finished in. But thnk you for your input. And Food for thought, Try not offering your opinions unless asked, it makes you seem preachy and Bitchy.

My reply: Food for thought, your ass is getting voted out. Sorry I tried to extend an olive branch.
