The ClubHouse: Archives: TVCH Alliance #2 Plotting & Planning Thread:
Archive through October 23, 2001
Grooch | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 07:06 am   I'm starting a thread for our alliance to plot and plan. We could do it by email, but to many emails might make me go off the deep end. Anyway, I am leaving for vacation for a week tomorrow morning and I wqon't have access to a computer. I need to vote today. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I am all ears. I'm not worried about missing any spoilers. They were all wrong. HELP!!!!!!!!! |
Grooch | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 07:11 am   The first thing I have to decide is if Boran has any chance of winning an immunity challenge. How many IC's did Ogakor lose, before winning one? |
Tntitanfan | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 07:19 am   As long as the playing field is "leveled" each time by forcing the same number of "players" from each team, theoretically Boran has a 50-50 chance of winning!! Personally I think Boran's chances are not that good!! Is an open forum a good place to plot and plan? |
Bidasea | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 07:21 am   Good morning Grooch..I think that with Frank, Carl, Linda, and Teresa forming an alliance, Sambura will be really a strong force. If Silas does join them, they will be hard to beat. I think Boran with fewer members, and weaker women, will have a hard time until the merger. Ethan,and Lex will do better with stronger team mates. Kelly did a much better job of drinking the blood than I thought she would. I think Linda spilled most of her first shot down her chin..I'm not sure about Tom yet... |
Grooch | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 07:26 am   Maybe an open forum isn't a good idea, but I need to do it for today, since I'm leaving and I am at work trying to tie things up. I couldn't handle tons of emails today. But if someone wants to start an email ring for the rest of the week, go for it. |
Llkoolaid | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 07:43 am   I am not good enough at the computer to start an e-mail ring but it is a great idea, I do have something you might think about Grooch but I am not putting it here, I will e-mail you now. |
Sunshinemiss | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 05:13 pm   Hey Guys, I'm in Alliance #2, we aren't trying to keep it secret from #1, just the rest of the world, right? I thing Samburu is pretty well off and will get immunity again. Aside from that, no clue. We need some more members too, any lurkers out there want to join? We have room still! Have a great vacation Grooch! |
Car54 | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 05:44 pm   Guys, the people in TVCH 2 can be in the e-mail group WITH the ones from group1 if you want to and Grooch, if you don't want the e-mails, you can turn them off and just go to the group site on Yahoo when you feel like it to see what the voters from TVCH are saying. The nice thing about the group site is Judy set us up a preliminary poll, and you can put in your pick, and before voting see how the group is leaning...you can change you poll picks whenever you want during the week. If you want to post on the site there instead of by e-mail you can... In case you haven't seen the instructions, e-mail JUDY at judy_jon@bellsouth.net and she will add you to the group e-mail, and send you instructions. I turned my e-mails off a couple of days this week at Yahoo and then turned them on on days when I had more brain cells. Just wanted to let you know you are welcome to join there if you don't have time to set up something new....the more the better! |
Moondance | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 05:56 pm   If anyone wants to join TVCH #2... let me know here or in my folder and I will get you the password |
Grooch | Friday, October 19, 2001 - 06:41 pm   Thanks Car, for all the information! I've snuck back onto the net for a few minutes. I asked Moon to take care of anyone who wants to join the 2nd alliance. (Thanks Moon!) My brain cells are fried so I voted the same way as I did last time. When I get back from vacation, I'll look into reading the yahoo board. |
Car54 | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 04:53 am   Grooch, have a great vac...you are smart to go ahead & vote... that way you get in.. I waited until Thurs, and it froze up when I posted my votes and only recorded 2 out of 3 pics. I think it is a good idea to put in what we think...you can always go change it, but at least something is there... P.s. I would have been wrong on my vote that didn't record, so at least i didn't LOSE points... |
Donut | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 10:35 am   maybe i'm just net-naive, but i don't get why we cant just discuss things here- i love the idea- is the world really so crazy that we have fear that people will flock here to steal our info? plus i guess i dont get why we would go to yahoo to talk when we could do it here- i always have trouble getting yahoo boards to work right. sorry if i am an ignoramus. i am still so mad that i didnt get to vote, and didnt know that emailing was an option cuz i would have over 114 points if i had |
Donut | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 10:38 am   just a thought- would it help to put it in the members section? |
Fruitbat | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 11:34 am   I agree Donut. I am not inclined to go to yahoo either. Talking about it here is fine with me. |
Bidasea | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 01:28 pm   I agree also. I've tried some of the other boards/chat sites, and don't like them. I like this place because you all discuss stratagy like adults. Where do you guys go to have a serious chat session? I can't find a site thats not full of kids fooling around.I really like the people on the TVCH sites.. |
Misslibra | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 04:12 pm   TVCH has me spoiled, and I perfer to discuss things here to. Yahoo was ok but there is no place like home. I'm going to stick with my favorite tribe Sambura, and say they will win another IC. As someone said Frank, Carl, Linda, Teresa and Slias will be a power block hard to topple if they stick together. I think Kim, or even possibly Clarence could be voted off next. Even though they really do need Clarence in the challenges I think some on the Boran tribe are dumb enough to vote him off, even though they need him. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 08:06 am   I just made my picks. This is a tricky week because we know Lindsay goes and we don't know how they will handle that. I am betting that the challenges will take place, immunity given and a vote will occur. So Sambura may be 2 down. I am counting on that. I did not research other boards....whats the point?........we are all just guessing.........we haven't heard about any leaks yet this year. I am glad and hope this remains to be true. I voted for Boran to win immunity and Sambura to vote Brandon off and Carl to stay. I got the feeling that on Survivor II, production was not happy with their choice to allow Mike to be the one to go with his injury. That episode was flat and lacked the spirit of the game. Soooooo I'm saying that Sambura loses 2 this week making the teams even. This is motivated by a desire to see Lex to win. I claim no intuition, deduction or logic. |
Tntitanfan | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 08:37 am   I voted Samburu for immunity because even when they "level the playing field" by having each tribe use the same number of people in a challenge, Samburu can use their best/strongest six against Boran who has to use all of their players. I voted Kim to go - could just as easily be Kelly - and Ethan to stay. Probably I would get more points if I voted Clarence to stay, but there's Tom doing that "warning" thing that makes me nervous!! |
Donut | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 10:34 am   did i miss something? whats this with lindsay leaving? |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 01:12 pm   Tntitanfan....More points if you voted for Clarence to stay? Tell me how that works. I am missing a big piece here. I thought the points were the same no matter who you voted to stay as long as they did. Good logic and I agree, I just have this Lex to win driving the train right now. Lindsay collaped from dehydration and was taken to a local hospital. It was on the promo. I did not see it. It was reported in another thread. |
Tntitanfan | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 02:12 pm   I thought I read that your "stay" vote is worth more if fewer people vote for that person to stay. I interpreted that to mean that you got more points for taking more risk - choosing a person who is less sure to stay. I could have misread the explanation though - |
Car54 | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 02:17 pm   Donut, there is an internet rumor that Lindsay from Samboru was hospitalized in the US mid August (while survivor was still filming in Africa) She is in this week's preview as being sick or injured, (I actually bought into this myself) but people with more history analyzing say that Burnett wouldn't give it away in the preview if she was out this week, plus, I guess the dates don't work.. this ep.would have been filmed in July, and the rumor says she was in the hospital a several weeks later, so we are guessing this is a tease... she gets dehydrated or cramps,,, and the big injury is later. Anyway... thats what we have read... Fruitbat, I am sort of math challenged, but there is an excellent post from Grooch in the SDP thread about a week ago explaining points. I can't retain it all, but I think if you pick an obvious, popular person to stay,(that everyone else votes for too) you get less points. If you pick a person that is at risk, or unpopular, AND not very many voters pick, you get more points. I didn't get this at all at first, and the first week voted for someone obvious... and at the time I thought duh...this is a dumb question...EVERYBODY ELSE stays!!! but nooooo.. you can be cagy and get more points if you pick the right guy. If you can find Grooch's post, she did a great job explaining how we get scored. |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 02:28 pm   oh crap...now I get it.... Oh well, I voted with the crowd. Next time though... |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 03:07 pm   Thanks and no one vote for Carl to stay OK?  |
Willi | Tuesday, October 23, 2001 - 03:22 pm   Uh oh.
