==PLEASE SNIP===

If that isn't enough foreshadowing for ya, you'll have to read on. MUAHAHA!

Well, Week 11 has been pretty short huh? But once again, a weekend has
passed and another survivor must go.

Our tribe has been wreaking havoc on themselves, as their mental game is
becoming unstable, and their physical game even worse. No one managed enough
energy to complete the rock climb, meaning I have another prize for whoever
shows up in NGS2002 for the Season Finale, October 26th!!! For those that
didn't hear, SEASON FINALE OCTOBER 26th!!!! More information coming if you
check the front page of the minimally updated website. ;)

Anyways, after such a nice segue from one topic to another, I'm fresh outta
ideas, so let's skip on over to Immunity Flats, where the real drama is
begining.

Jutting out of one tranquil vast southern plains of NGS2002 is an extremely
ugly and unstable rock rubble. The task? On the mini-mountain of rocks and
lag are 25 treasure chests, one of whom holds Immunity. The survivor that
climbs the rock, and finds the hidden chest, wins. There's a catch however,
as our survivors were equipped with guns, and could shoot each other back to
the start of the course (gz). The game started out with a bang, as our
survivors barely touched a rock before being zapped back to start. They made
the long dash to the mountain countless times, and for the times they were
there, they spent forever looking for the unbeaten track that would get
themselves at least off the ground. Our survivors, desperate, even went
under the mountain and such but to no avail, as the treasure chests in sight
held nothing. Mod, however, did manage to climb the rock, and find Immunity
near the top of the rubble, giving him assurance he won't have jury duty for
at least one more week.

Now council. :)

For those of you who have been living under a filter, there are only six
sickly survivors left in this newsgroup competition. They are:

Ambient Spirit, who's good-girl gardener charm and dedication has managed to
hide her secret, sneaky, and surprisingly deceptive side. Yes, this girl can
cause trouble, just read her diaries! ;)

And there's Lioness, the hard-talking, take-no-crap yet affectionate, loving
mommy of the bunch. Together, they round out the surviving (and only) female
members.

For the guys, there's Builderz, someone who I can't really comment on
because the guy not only goes under the radar, but under my watchful eyes
too!

And Gamecube, who's been TOTALLY inactive until the merge, and then he was
everywhere with his position more threatened. Even though he loses out at
most Immunity Challenges, this guy just knows when to be there and when not
to be, because he's made it this far already.

Mod, the birdie who constantly gets his wings clipped by inworld gravity. He
can't be too disgruntled about resorting to waddling, because he's managed
to win two immunity challenges in a row now, and has been flying free (so to
speak) these past two weeks.

And lastly, Eric. Not much can be said about Eric, because not of Eric is
really said. It would help if he came to inworld events every once in a
while. But unlike Builderz who flies under the radar by being there when
he's supposed to be, and not when he's not, this guy's just never there!
Strategy? I wouldn't put it past him.

And that's your Motley Crew of the remaining six survivors. On the jury
seats tonight is maki and Gandalf and YOU, the public.

All the survivors and jury members made the long trek to Council Plateau
except for Eric. Let's start the questioning:

Nornny11: As the weeks go on Gamecube, how much of factor is it when people
consistently don't show up to events and councils?
Gamecube: It's bad to have to wait and all that stuff..
Gamecube: not much to say..
Nornny11: does it affect your voting at all?
Gamecube: not really

Nornny11: Ambient Spirit, you've had a LOT to say this week in your
diaries...
Ambient Spirit: lol
Nornny11: ...first, let's address your female bond with Lioness.
Lioness.: female bond??????
Ambient Spirit: the bond is purely that we are both female.. we have no
alliance
Lioness.: you make it sound like we're married ;-"/
Ambient Spirit: and
Ambient Spirit: I feel it my duty to protect my sis if I feel she is being
threatened
Lioness.: me too ;-")
Ambient Spirit: :)
Lioness.: only cus there's bullies here

Nornny11: Builderz, do you feel threatened by what was just said?
Builderz: Not really, Nornny. Everyone has to outlast and outflame each
other. Just because a certain tribe member is male or female doesn't make
them any stronger or weaker.
Lioness.: i agree ;-"D
Ambient Spirit: well said Builderz :)
Gamecube: :)
Builderz: Thank you. ;)

Nornny11: okay, Mod, you've won two Immunity challenges in a row, what do
you make of your performance thus far?
Mod: My performance in immunity challanges I believe are well, I mean as we
get further into the game they become much more important, So I step it up a
notch for them challanges, as for in the game, I believe All of us here
performed well, and I hate
Mod: to see anyone go
Ambient Spirit: :)
Lioness.: (nods) ;-")
Gamecube: yep
Mod: :)
Ambient Spirit: It has not been easy since we became one tribe :(
Nornny11: Will you feel more vulnerable without Immunity after this winning
streak? You're obviously a big threat if you continue to be safe.
Mod: Of course, Immunity for Me is very important, as I feel that I will be
targeted in the weeks to come, so yes It is like have a 500 pound weight put
on your back for someone in my position when you loose immunity, hopefully I
can keep me streak going

Nornny11: Now, one last question, gender might not play a factor, but AW age
seems to be affecting the votes. Will anyone comment on that before we vote?
Ambient Spirit: yes!
Lioness.: age has nothing to do with it
Ambient Spirit: Age is a state of mind.. and im still in diapers :)
Lioness.: i vote the way i want to vote

Nornny11: Well, I won't say anymore and let the votes speak for themselves.
;)
Nornny11: By now, you guys know the routine, this will be a tough council.
Nornny11: Mod, you can start. :)

(certain votes have been replaced with "..." )

Mod: ... you know why...

Gamecube then votes.

Ambient Spirit: Eric.. because I dont think he is playing the game by not
being here for Challenges and Councils

Builderz: ... because I don't think they take the game very seriously and
have not been participating as much as the others.

Lioness.: I vote for ... because he betrayed me when I was being honest with
him. Sorry .... ;-"<

Eric voted through tgram.


Okay guys, I'll reveal the votes...




First vote...Gamecube.














Gamecube.









Third vote...Gamecube.















Eric. That's three Gamecube, one Eric.












....









Eric.












Last vote...







....







Eric.




Onondago, we once again have a tie. This time between Eric and Gamecube. To
go over the procedure once again, Gamecube and Eric, you each MUST reply to
this post within 24 hours (Tommorow by 9pm VRT). After receiving your pleas,
Ambient Spirit, Builderz, Mod, and Lioness will vote between you two. They
MUST come to a majority vote. If it comes down to another tie, past votes
will determine who will leave. If that also ends in a tie, one person from
the WHOLE tribe, including those that are now safe, including Mod, will be
randomly voted off.

Survivors, as soon as you see both pleas, or anytime after 9pm VRT tommorow,
you may begin to tgram me your vote. Do so IMMEDIATELY!

And that's it, I'll be joining the newsgroup within a few days to announce
who the tribe has voted for, and possibly more details and contests as we
head into the finale. :)

Ok so what do I say? Throughout this game I've never been in it for the
prize, I've been in it for the gaming. It's obvious at this point that I
won't be winning this game, but I never intended on it. Although it no
longer holds true (due to both my and the ngs2 schedules changing) when I
started this game I thought I was going to be gone for the last 2 weeks of
the game, making it impossible for me to win no matter what. With people
resigning, and the trip I would be going on being moved around, that's no
longer the case.

So you ask me, why have you never been there? Though I'm not trying to
excuse myself, here are my reasons. First off, anyone who knows me knows
that I'm not a morning person, my usual awake time being from 4:30pm -
6:30am pst. But that's an excuse, the real reason is that maybe I didn't
care about this game as much as I should of, neither gamecube or I did, and
circumstance seems to have caught up with me.

I've played in, won, and hosted many other aw survivor games, mostly in
awteen. The strategy there was to set up your strategy in the beginning and
stick with it, whilst lying out of your ass everywhere you can. Here, I did
something different, I didn't stick with it, and I was honest wherever I
could be, and look where it got me. Maybe I deserve to be voted out, for
letting it all goto my head and not caring. Maybe I deserve to be voted out
because regardless of whether I did it or not, everyone thinks I have or
will betray them. Or maybe I dont, maybe I deserve another chance. It's
not my call, it's yours.

I'm going to finish this week off in one thread and one thread alone.
YAY!!!!

We're still in Tribal Council midway through the week (surprise surprise),
but this time, it's worth it, because we're in a stalemate between Eric and
Gamecube, and no one seems to be resigning at this point so let's move on.

All four survivors that are safe have voted again. Remember, if they do NOT
come to a majority decision, past votes in Reckonings and Councils will
determine who will leave. If that proves to also come to a tie, the
survivors will have one more chance to come to a unanimous decision, or else
one survivor will randomly be voted off (including Mod, who's holding
Immunity).

I'll go tally the votes.






First vote...Eric.








Second vote...Gamecube.







Third vote...Gamecube again. That's two Gamecube, one Eric.





Fourth vote...







....



:(...




Eric.



Unfortunately, the tribe has not come to a decision. Which means, we face an
unideal situation. Now, the past comes to haunt both you, Eric, and you,
Gamecube. You've managed to survive at the expense of others, and now, their
votes, as well as the votes of the people within the game still, will hurt
you. The procedure is simple, whoever has the most votes will be forced to
leave the newsgroup game and join maki and Gandalf in the jury. If past
votes also come to a tie, then your whole tribe suffers the consequences, as
any one person will randomly be "voted off" by fate.

Because BinaryBud chose to sacrifice himself and resign from the game, the
votes made during that week's Tribal Council will NOT be counted, as they
are now unofficial. This was established immediately after BB's resignation,
and even mentioned in one of the posts, as I remember it. Public votes DO
count, however. I'll go tally the past votes.


Within the merging weeks, Eric has received 2 votes, Gamecube received 1.









....







....





During the switched weeks, which includes Reckoning, Gamecube received 3
votes. Eric received 5. That's 7 Eric, 4 Gamecube.


....







....



....





During the initial weeks, Robego tribe did not go to Tribal Council. Which
means, Eric, with seven votes previously casted before you...


The tribe has spoken. *extinguishes flame* Please grace us with your Final
Words and I'll see you on the jury box next week. :(

Gamecube escapes yet another Council, this time, extremely bruised. Can he
handle another week?

Ambient Spirit and Builderz remain the only survivors without a vote cast
against them. Will their luck run through to the Final Two?

Mod has been safe for two weeks, can he keep his winning record going?

With Eric gone, will Lioness let her defense down and suffer the
consequences?


Obviously, the game has taken on a new intensity, as everything is coming
together for a few survivors, while falling apart for others. You have made
the Top Five. Just remember though, nothing is ever what you expect. One
thing you can expect at the next Tribal Council, however, is that a public
vote could help determine the Final Four. You guys can head back to camp.

EVERYONE: Join us Saturday at 5:30pm VRT in NGS2002 for the Reward/Immunity
Challenge! :) As things go down to the wire, our survivors can't afford any
mistakes (or can they?).

Then on Sunday, join us for our live weekly Tribal Council, time TBA. Will
the Immunity winner take his chances with the tribe or the public? Will
there be another tie that shakes up the whole game (again)? Who will remain
strong and who will break down? As the days get shorter, the game gets
longer, stay tuned. ;)

-Dear Diary...
This game is such a strange one...Well Hypocritic is more of the word I
am looking for. This is the first time in the game where I truely don't know
where I stand. I have tried to get closer with the remaining survivors, and
discuss things with them, but I now know I am being played like a pawn in a
game of survivor chess. I just love it how people say how honest they like
to be in the game and then do a complete turn around when talking to me.
*Sigh* I know my days are numbered and could almost foresee myself entering
the jury next week, if I don't recieve immunity. That is now my mission, I
must continue to win immunity to stay in the game. I percieve an alliance,
even though they swear that there is none. Why else would GameCube still be
in the game? kinda makes me regret my past vote to keep him in the game. How
a person who cares less about the game and who didn't even know where his
camp was, suddenly start playing the game still be here? I am being pulled
toward one answer, someone is keeping him around for an extra needed vote. I
can already see the final two. Lioness., and Ambient Spirit. The rest of us
will be dropped off along the way. Unless, I can help it. This birdie won't
die so easily, and its hard for me to belive that these people who I have
been playing this game with for weeks are so manipulative, and can easily
pass it off that they aren't. I can make this as a plea to save myself next
week, but it will do no good. I believe that they have it all plotted out in
their heads, as I do in mine. So here is where I leave you, possibly my last
journal entry in NGS2002. My gameplan is no longer strategy, but survival...

It's been fun all, I guess I should cared more. :)
