--PLEASE SNIP OUT THIS LONG POST IN ANY REPLIES OR DIARY ENTRIES BELOW IN
THIS THREAD--

Hey guys, last NG Survivor post for this week, I promise. :)

Well, it's finally Wednesday, and the anxious survivors rush in early to
NGS2002, the playing world of this game. It's totally quiet, as I've turned
off speak until everyone comes in. With the absense of Mongo, Maka, Shorah,
Lioness, and Jerme, the other 11 enter the world.

It's all nerves, lag, and a slow OP, as the 11 look around the world. Now,
onto an edited chat log. :) *blows conch shell and throws sand around for
flashback's sake*

Nornny11: okay, well, here's how the tribes work. :)

In front of you are 16 orangered colored discs. Each of you will stand on
top of one of the discs and remain put. These discs, when I tell them to,
will change to the color of your tribe, which are behind you. The two tribes
are Robego and Nebewi.

Nornny11: The blue tribe is Robego, derived from the word "goober," and what
better symbol to represent a goober than an aboriginal symbol for the guy
from Footloose. :)

Builderz: lol
Joeman: It looks like a monkey :O
Nornny11: Don't tell goober I said that. ;)
D a n: lol

Nornny11: Eep Probst tell me who is on the Robego Tribe
[Eep Probst]: The Robego discs have been turned over...
Mod: Blue W00t
Gamecube: blue
D a n: YAY

Builderz, Mod, D a n, Eric, Gamecube, and BinaryBud, your discs tell me that
your are now members of the Robego tribe. Please step to your mat.

Nornny11: You guys are six of eight, you will choose two more in a minute.
:)
Nornny11: everyone else stay put. :)

Nornny11: now, on to Nebewi. :)
Nornny11: Nebewi is named after al lthe newbies out there, and is
represented by a deer about to be run over. :)
Ambient Spirit: very appropriate! lol
Builderz: hehe
Joeman: :OOO
Mod: LOL
Nornny11: thanks Ambient. :) I thought so. :)
Nornny11: Okay, Eep Probst, tell me who is on the Nebewi Tribe.
Nornny11: grr, give me a miunte. :)
Nornny11: who is on the Nebewi Tribe.
Nornny11: Probst, you listening to me?? lol.
BinaryBud: looks like the Bot has a litle Eep in him....lol
Nornny11: who is on the Nebewi tribe
[Eep Probst]: The Nebewi discs have been turned over...

Gandalf, pixelot, and Joeman, you guys are members of the Nebewi tribe.
Through a random picking, Mongo, Jerme, and Maka will join you also to make
six.

Now, as you can see tribes, there are four people still on orangered discs.
They are looking for a tribe, and you get to pick. I'll give you a minute to
think it over as the decision could have an affect on the whole game.
Nornny11: I will ask ONE of you to pick the next tribesmate...
pixelot: Shorah
Nornny11: never mind, pixelot chose Shorah. lol.
Nornny11: Shorah's yours. :)

Now, let's go to Robego, I will pick.
D a n: maki?
*sigh* Oh never mind. Maki goes to Robego. :)
D a n: lol
Gamecube: :\
maki: lol
D a n: :-)

Nornny11: Now Joeman, pick between Lioness and Ambient. :)
Ambient Spirit: sheesh... *checks deodorant*
Joeman: Which one will give me more money? :)
D a n: lol
maki: :O
Ambient Spirit: i cook nicely :))
Joeman: Your in :D
Nornny11: Ambient, join Nebewi. :)
Nornny11: Lioness will now join Robego. :)

So there you have, in the first major event of NG Survivor, we picked
tribes. One mystery solved, and I leave the sixteen on their own. Already,
the wind of whispers are underway as members look to get their alliances in
early. Will the absent players be at a disadvantage? Did the two tribes make
the right choices in picking their two tribemates? Are the girls at a
disadvantage separated? Who knows, but one will fall by the end of this week
(or the begining of next, whichever's good for me). But first, there's so
much to do!

SURVIVORS READ - Survivors, starting Friday morning, your camps will be
open. You will find your two camp locations already inworld. One is to the
west of gz, the other to the east. Follow the beaten track and you'll find
your tribal flag flying above you. Now, before you start building monstrous
houses and caves on Friday, you must first note this. You MUST keep to a
rugged, camping or tropical theme firstly. But here's the next twist. I,
NORNNY, will provide you with your materials, and they won't be much. Each
of your materials will be tagged with a "create name" in the action and be
monitored by my bot. You're welcome to move and manipulate the object any
way you like, but you CANNOT duplicate any objects, or add any of your own,
and just tag a name. :) I will be keeping inventory and basically destroy
your camp if I catch you. :)) Feel free to try, I'm pretty oblivious though.
Now, your objects become more valuable to you. You each will be given your
luxury item too. :) You can win MORE supplies by winning weekly web
challenges that I will post (which also has the bonus of winning a tee-shirt
if you get the highest score) at the begining of each survivor week. Also,
if you write decent diary entries below this thread and others, I'm inclined
to give you AW presents. :)) All of your objects and your camp is important,
because an important immunity challenge later on in the game will depend on
your objects and the look of your camp. :)) If you delete any objects,
they're gone for good. So think of it as a good way of threatening your
tribemates if you feel you're being targeted also.

Now, on Saturday at 5pm VRT (17:00), and this could still be subject to
change, there will be the first immunity challenge. You will be notified
through the NGS2002 TreeMail of what the challenge is that day, earlier.
This is optional, but the more tribemates that are able to attend, the
better. :) THE PUBLIC CAN COME TOO AND SEE THE EXCITEMENT! :) And
afterwards, everyone can play for fun too.

Should you win immunity, your tribe is safe for this week, and all make it
to the second week. :) The losing tribe, however, will have to come back the
next day (who knows what time yet), and take the hike to Tribal Plateau,
where Tribal Council is. The place is spectacular, with a huge waterfall,
and dangerous cliffs, but I'm sure none of you will be enjoying the scenery,
because the tribe will have to vote off one of its own. And that unfortunate
person, will be thrown off the plateau, and off the game. His/her chances of
winning the P-50 is 0% with a error range of NONE. Sorry. :) After you
recover from your fall, however, Syntax and SW Chris, your two lovable
hosts, will join you below the plateau along with the viewing public
(whoever's there, in other wards) for your post-castoff interview. The
public can ask ANY question they want, without the other survivors inworld,
so ask away. :)

That's all the excitement this little norn can handle. :) Be there Saturday
if you can. :) Otherwise, keep checking the newsgroup and website for more
information. The website will have a pictured HTML version of this recent
update, so come take a look in a few hours when it's ready. Also, NGS2002
will be going through some renovations (basically, we're moving to our own
OP, a faster OP, thanks to contestant Builderz) so please bear with us on
that, it will look the same old self afterwards though. :))

NG Survivor Diary Entry #1

Today was an exciting day indeed! Survivors were placed on teams, secret
alliances were formed, and an errie silence fell as everyone was
whispering to one another. Although some survivors were missing, the
event went well (besides the slow object path ;). Pictures were taken,
courtesy of Nornny, and we all introduced ourselves to everyone else.
The landscape of the NGS2002 world struck me as vast and impressive.
When the public is allowed in, they are in for a real treat.

I'm currently in the planning stages right now with others in my
alliance trying to come up with a bit of strategy. The Survivor Index
will be a great help with that. Newsgroup Survivor ][ should be very
exciting. I hope my tribe (Robego) wins the immunity challenge this
Saturday. I am also looking forward to setting up and building my camp.
The game is now on. May the best survivor win!

-Dear diary
Today I was brought to a strange place as the beginning of the game well
began. After the whole tribe picking thing hundreds of whispers came my way
asking join my alliance. I thought to myself I don't want to team up with
any of these losers. They are ugly looking, not even birds! Then I glance
over at the other tribe and cannot help but laugh. Do they really think a
little Wizard is going to stop the MysteriousBirdie. I think not. I also
noticed that they are bigger freaks then we are. It gave me a lot to think
about. I must manipulate all in a way to better myself. Should be easy with
the bird brains these people have :) Mwahahahaha

Today was a thrilling day I must say, with the smell of new adventures
and excitement in the air. After a bit of a hassle, I got into NGS2002 to
admire the scenery and met up with my fellow players. Norn, sorry but you
shoulda turned off object selection.. because I saw the create name r,
create name n and figured it out. Anyways, so I decided I wanted to be on
Robego and hey here I am! Got some friends, some enemies, and and even a
potential rival in this game so far, but I'm not worried. I'm even...
</excerpt>

<excerpt>
One thing that distresses me is the number of fellow awteeners, and how
they feel about my successes in awteen's survivors 1 and 3. It proves I've
got good strategy.. but this is a whole different ballgame, much different
from awteen's survivors, and I don't know how well I'll thrive. Good thing
I've got, well I hope I got, people I can trust.. we'll see how it all plays
out.
</excerpt>

<excerpt>
All in all, this is going to be one hell of a game.. and I intend to try
my best by all means and stick it out as long as I can, but hey.. my fate is
only partly in my hands now heh.

I do hope my tribe-mates forgive me for not getting home in time for our
first meeting. I really had no control over it since I depend on my job to
pay rent and bills and feed my family. I wish I had been able to get off
work early enough to enjoy the excitement of being in NGS2002 for the
official start of Survivor. However the medical staff and patients in the
busy medical clinic where I work don't share the same enthusiasm or
understand how important it is to me to be there. My thoughts and my spirit
were definately with everyone during our first meeting and selection of
tribes. I kept looking at the clock thinking to myself, "Come on you guys,
I'm missing my first meeting in AW Survivor!!!!!!!!!!!!" , but alas, it was
not meant to be. However when I did return home finally, at 12:00 pm VRT, I
was able to catch up on the ngs and Nornny's posting of the chat from the
meeting. After reading the posting, I logged into AW and right away entered
NGS2002 to look at the GZ where all the excitement took place only 7 hours
earlier. My little girl and I had fun downloading all the different avs and
she wanted to try out each one. I added my team mates names to my contact
list and admired the beautiful sky and scenery surrounding me. I look
forward to meeting all my tribe-mates and Nornny on Saturday. And I hope to
prove myself to be a worthy team mate. I work hard, and will try, to the
best of my knowledge, to do the best job I possibly can to help my tribe
along. I have a great sense of humor ( some think), and since I'm an artist
in real life consider myself to be pretty creative when needed. I wish I
could say I've been fortunate at Bingo, but the luck of the Irish is not
with me at those times. hehehe. Will see ya'll soon. My tribe-mates can feel
free to add me to their contact list and gram me if they want. GO
ROBEGO!!!!!! ~ Lioness ;-"D

Goober King
All you little Goobers, get in line!!

Jul 4, 2002, 2:20am

Dear Diary,

I awoke in a strange land of triangles. I lay dormant for some time while
strange objects popped up all around me. I was confused and scared.
Suddenly a voice boomed out demanding that I stand on a little circle. Not
knowing what to do, I complied. Soon they lit up and I was forced on to the
llama picture. The other picture was of a monkey dancing, the voice made
coments about goober king in relation to the dancing monkey. As I tried to
identify the source of the voice, it told me to leave. Not wanting to
offend it, I complied. From what I gather, the voice is of a strange
half-man half-goat animal that speaks in a forign toungue not unlike ours,
with the only exception of putting a ':)' at the end of every sentence.

Dear Diary,

Well.. that was fun. I watched as eveyone jumped onto little disks and
tribes were formed.

Cant wait to meet the rest of my tribe, so far we all seem to be a pretty
sane and level-headed bunch. What I liked about my fellow tribe members is
their quiet mature behaviour.



I don't think us older tribe member are at a disadVINTAGE and I will not
believe that being the only female in my tribe is going to put me at a
disadvantage. Im pretty good at cooking a great wild African meal.
mopani worms and flying ants.. plentiful at our camp site, very rich in
protein and carbohydrates and make a delicious curry along with the rice.rwx
that I think we may be supplied with as our stable diet. Just what we need
to build up strength to win those immunity challenges. I think NEBEWI is
going to be a force to contend with. We may have the majority of
newbies... but that could be to our advantage. I don't think any of us feel
threatened by the Robego members. Our emblem may be a deer.. but they are
elusive, alert and quick moving J



To all my tribe members. lets not think about who we will vote off from our
team. rather use the brain power to concentrate on working as a team,
winning the first immunity challenge and placing that worry onto Robego!

They are already feeling threatened by one another.

Gandalf, Mongo, Shorah, Maka, pixelot, Joeman and Koolcat hope you don't
mind me putting you all on my contact list.. please put me on yours.. my
name in worlds is Ambient Spirit.



GO NEBEWI!!



PS: Mongo, look at it this way, your newly acquired plumbing skills are
going to come in very handy for our tribe! :)

No, it wasn't any attempt, I just thought of the two stupidest and lowest
people on the newsgroup food chains, goobers and newbies, and just switched
their names around. lol. Besides, your name had a lot of vowels, and plus,
sucking up to the big powers in the newsgroup means they won't flame me
later for too many NG Survivor posts. lol. :)

Dear Diary,

Yeah... the games have certainly begun!! Today some sneak went and
removed the roof and backdrop to the VERY crude shelter i was able to make
for myself . Two items... thats all i took from the supply made
available to us and someone thought that it was very funny to either hide it
or delete it totally. Was it a member of my own tribe.. or a member of
Robego? Well, i do not know who it was... but i know for sure who the
people are that it wasn't. Someone out there is feeling pleased with
themselves.. and i am glad i could oblige.

Jul 6, 2002, 3:49pm

Imagine my surprise upon entering NGS2002 late last night and discovering
that nobody did anything with the supplies we were given. It was not a
disappointed type of surprise, just a shock that I was the first one to
stumble upon all that fun stuff to play with. hehehe. After reading the
website and our borderline flaming profiles that Nornny put together for us,
I telegrammed Maki, since he was the only one besides myself who was logged
on. (I also grammed Builderz, but with those STUPID question marks now on
our contact lists, I can't tell anymore who is on and who is off) Maki soon
joined me and together we giggled over all the luxury items and supplies. It
took silly ole me a little while to figure out why there were 3 large X's on
the ground. I couldn't for the life of me think of anything we could
possibly make with 3 large X's. Then after right clicking on one, it dawned
upon me. I slapped myself on the forehead in real life when I realized they
were crossed poles and we have the blessed opportunity of being able to put
them upright!!!!!! (I don't have that luxury in building in alphaworld) Maki
thought I was off my rocker. I had a GREAT time playing with posts, turning
them this way and that, trying to put together a ramshackle shelter for our
tribe. After an hour or two of not making much progress we went exploring
and found a bunch of flower.rwx's and tree.rwx's. We read and reread the NG
post that Nornny was so kind to leave us with the building instructions we
must adhere to. I must admit, I was very hesitant to dup anything since I
got the impression the bot was recording every move the objects made. I was
perfectly satisfied moving trees and plants across the landscape to our
little camp. But Maki reassured me and soon he was planting a forest around
our camp while I was busy hanging vines and making a lean-to. The B.I.
wasn't too happy with me and it too some finagiling to reduce the object
limit. Before long I figured out a way of providing shelter with the wood we
were provided with. With some effort and some muscle pulls, I managed
somehow to pull together some boulders for a wall here, and some palm trees
for a roof there. Hard to believe I was building for 4 whole hours!!! (Just
like the old days ;-"D ) When I finally forced myself to log off at 4:45
am, my eyes felt like they were sagging down to my shoulders and as I lie in
bed I had a difficult time falling asleep. I couldnt' stop thinking about
what else I could do or build for our tribe. LOL. I can't wait to see what
my tribe mates have come up with and I hope they like what Maki and I did
already. ~ Lioness ;-"D

Dear Diary,

Well, here we are. I've met my team-mates, and I'm very happy with them. I
doubt I could of asked for a better group of people. I will admit, I
disagreed with some people, but I'm still happy with them.
This evening we had the first event. I was disappointed that more of my team
weren't there, but I had to drop out because Rod. were down 1.
I am upset about the objects being deleted. I can deduce that whoever is
doing it has something against the females of the group, on account that
both females have had items deleted. I also believe someone from Rod. are
deleting things. First, the childish individual deletes an object from the
opposite team, then, when they realise that their team might be blamed, they
delete an object from their own team, to disspell suspicion.

Anywhoo, not long till we vote 1 team member off.

Oh, and for the record, the magic man isn't afraid of any pathetic little
tweety.

-Gandalf

Jul 7, 2002, 7:33pm

Ahem......I'd like to get some things cleared up please. First of all, when
I got to our campsite and saw all those objects just laying around in no
particular order, I naturally assumed nobody was doing anything with them.
The couple of people from our camp who were logged on didn't answer my grams
(they have question marks in front of their names). Maki was the only brave
one to join me. I didn't bring my ESP.rwx with me, so I had no way of
knowing since nobody left any notes or anything on them. My first thought
was that we needed a shelter to protect Binary's flame and Builderz and
Gamecube's puters from the elements. So I set to work right away before any
stormclouds blew in. Again, it would have been nice if I had known someone
was already planning to do something. Imagine my shock and horror when I
came back and found the shelter I had worked so feverishly on for our whole
tribe, was dismantled. And other individual shelters were being made. So
much for team work and togetherness eh guys? Today when I arrived at our
campsite I noticed our sleeping bags and tent mysteriously disappeared.
Thank goodness Maki found them under our flagpole hill. Somebody is having a
lot of fun playing with our minds. We have to pull together as a team folks.
It's difficult enough that we all have real life obligations and can't
always be with our fellow tribe members for critical decision making. But
leaving notes to each other I think would help a lot, which is why i left a
few for my teamies to let them know what i did and why and to let them know
it was ok for them to move things around if they wanted. Maki and I rebuilt
our tribal shelter, and put the sleeping bags inside it. It is for all of
us, not just for me or for Maki.
Nornny hon.......you need to do some revision of the website. First
off,.......why am I the only target for the popularity poll for the past 5
days?????? We have 16 members. Time for someone else to get the negative
attention for once. Also ....the latest entry you made featured this
sentence:
"Thanks to Lioness, her luxury item has given Nebewi a single flame to
light their camp when it's dark."
Excuse me hon....but my luxury item was a lake, not a flame. And how can a
lake illuminate the other camp???? I belong to "Robego", not "Nebewi".
Binary is the one who chose a flame as a luxury item in our camp, "Robego".
Nuff said for now I think. ~ ;-"/

Whoopsy, my mistake, I'm still getting to know you guys just as much as you
guys. lol. I tend to get tribes mixed up still, lol. I fixed the update
page, thanks for pointing it out.

As for the survivor poll, you're on the poll for a whole week before I
change it. :) It's not my laziness, it just gives more people time to vote
for ya. :)
