Last time on NG Survivor 2...

*cut to shot of Memory Challenge*

Mod reigned supreme once again by winning another Immunity Challenge.

*cut to shot of Tribal Council*

And the tribe and public unanimously disposed of lazy Gamecube at a live
tribal council after missing another weeks worth of events.

*cut to Lioness*

Lioness was absent most of last week, and struggled to hang on to her
internet connection.

*cut to final four*

How will the Final Four vote this week? Week 13 is upon us, and the drama
has only gotten more intense. Find out what happens this week, on NG
Survivor 2...

*cue Ancient Voices theme and intro video*

Week 13, only one more week to go before the ultimate survivor is decided
upon (October 16th 3pm!!!). And it's going to be between Ambient Spirit,
Lioness, Builderz, and Mod. For mroe in depth analysis on how these four
came to power and how awfully wrong my predictions were, go check out my
reply to this thread for a newsgroup Nornny's Notes.

First, let's begin with our last Reward Challenge. :((( Well, out of many
people that participated in this challenge (yay!),
former-survivor-turned-public-poster BinaryBud stood out having rounded up 8
sheep in 4.96 seconds. Congrats on the teeshirt, and I'll be in touch, BB!
:))

Luckily, for those who just missed the mark, join us on the 26th at 3pm VRT
for more oppurtunities to win teeshirts as we end our NG Survivor season
with a bang!

Speaking of banging endings, our survivors were playing for keeps at the
second to last Immunity Challenge. The challenge was called Fallen Comrades.
Our survivors were whisked up to the top of Tribal Council Plateau, behind
the Council area on the edge of the cliff. There, surrounding a giant rock,
were four "graveyards," pictures of the past 12 castoffs (pixelot, Shorah,
Maka, Joeman, D a n, JerMe, Mongo, BinaryBud, maki, Gandalf, Eric, and
Gamecube). Our remaining survivors had to use their knowledge and friendship
they've acquired from all 12 banished posters to win a crucial Immunity. Ten
statements were read aloud, each dealing with a specific castoff, in which
the survivors had to identify the castaway and delete him. After the ten
statements, only two castoff pictures should remain, in which one of them is
hopefully the only castaway NOT mentioned. BinaryBud was that castoff, and
Ambient Spirit was the only survivor to manage to put him in her Final Two
castoffs. She then guessed BB correctly after one last statement was read
and won Immunity.

But this challenge had more drama then mentioned. Lioness e, who recovered
from her week's absence due to bad modem connection, faltered again at this
Immunity Challenge. She lost internet connection right before the challenge
started and missed the whole thing. Is this unfortunate twist of fate do her
in?

Back at camp, Ambient Spirit is scared stiffed with her Immunity Necklace.
"i am so thrilled to have one Immunity.. but im even thinking of giving it
up to someone else.."

Builderz and Ambient Spirit attended Tribal Council while Mod and Lioness
were not able to attend. Is this another possible division or just plain
luck?

Builderz said "I think anything could happen during these last councils,
Nornny. However, I doubt that the other members will base their votes solely
on old tribal ties. They will need to take other factors into account."


Ambient went up first...


"My vote this week is purely for strategic purposes. I am going to vote for
a person I have really grown fond of and who is a great person..." she
pauses.

"but there may be an alliance so my strategy comes into play here..
Lioness.... *hugs* hun.. I hope you understand and have no hard feelings
*luv ya*"


Lioness then voted.

"It's getting harder and harder to decide who to vote for. Now I have no
choice but to get strategic. Mod has tons of votes against him, like I do.
Ambie only has a few but she now has immunity. My vote therefore goes to
Builderz (with a heavy heart) cus he doesn't have very many votes against
him and he doesn't have immunity. Sorry Builderz
((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugz)))))))))))))))))))))))).....still wuv ya hon.
;-")"

Mod casted his vote.

Builderz then voted. "It was not an easy decision, so I randomly picked
between the other members and this is the person that turned up. Sorry if I
have offend you -- nothing personal. Remember, it is only a game!"


Our survivors are probably waiting on pins and needles now. :) Obviously,
all four have flown under the radar for the past weeks, doing just enough
playing to get here, but it seems some people are sticking out more than
other among the small Onondago tribe. I'll go tally the votes.





First vote...










Lioness e.












Second vote Lioness e.













Builderz. That's two Lioness, one Builderz.












Last vote...













....











....






Builderz.



Survivors, we have a tie. Builderz, Lioness, both of you each have two votes
casted against yourselves.

Here's how a tiebreaker works. Lioness and Builderz, you have 24 hours to
make your plea to Mod and Ambient Spirit. When both of you have plead your
case or 24 hours have gone up, Ambi and Mod will revote. Both MUST come to a
unanimous decision between the two for one of you to be voted off. However,
in the event that the second vote ends up tied, past votes will determine
who will leave the newsgroup. Good luck.

On Thursday, only three will remain in the game. Come to a live Immunity
Challenge and Tribal Council at 5:30 VRT! It's going to be our last event
inworld before the grand season finale! Cheer your favorites on, and get the
inside scoop on what's happening before it gets published here. :)

Most importantly, stay tuned!

Like I told Norrny, anything is possible at this point in the game. I
find it ironic that Lioness voted for me, I voted for her, and now we
are both at the fate of the other tribe mates. ;) Let me just say that I
feel that I have become good friends with all of the remaining survivors
and I hope that we can all stay friends outside of the game (no hard
feelings).

Having said that, I would like to clear up something -- how I ended up
voting for Lioness. Since Ambi held immunity, I could only vote for
either Mod or Lioness. Since I felt they were both good friends, I
entered their names into a computer program that does several
calculations and then randomly spits out a name. Lioness' name appeared,
and that is who I voted for. I thought that this was the only fair way
to vote. I do not have anything against Lioness personally, that is just
the name the program outputted. As it turns out, if I hadn't voted for
Lioness, there wouldn't have been a tie, and I wouldn't be here typing
this right now.

As for my plea, what can I say? By now, the current survivors either
know me or they don't and have their own opinions regarding me as a
tribe mate in this game. They can swing their vote, come to a unanimous
decision, we could all end up with another tie on our hands and prior
votes will come back to haunt us, or a random player could be voted off.
Whatever the outcome, I hope that I have portrayed to my fellow tribe
mates (as well as the public) throughout these many weeks that I have
taken the game seriously and have played it ethically.

I have always tried my best to attend immunities and councils. I did not
spread slander about other tribe mates unless I heard through the
grapevine that one of them might have said something about me in the
first place. I always gave an honest reason and explained why I voted
for the players I did, unlike some other players who did not. I may not
have been at camp all of the time, but not everyone else has been,
either. I stopped by when I could and helped when help was needed. I
will say that for most (if not all) of the game, I have remained true to
myself and played honestly (I did not cheat). At this critical point in
the game, if those things don't mean something, then I'll happily take a
seat on the Jury and vote for a winner that I think does possess a
decent sense of morals and the other qualities I mentioned above.

Nornny always jokes that I slipped "under the radar" of the other tribe
mates. True, the last council was the first time I had votes cast
against me, but I always did my best to say hello to others, chat, and
be an active player in the game and at camp. I admit, I did not expect
to make it this far in the game -- let alone the Final Four, or even
past the first council. I am very pleased that I have gotten this far
and I thank my old Robego tribe for winning so many challenges. There
really isn't anything more I can do to magically keep me in the game or
change Mod's or Ambi's mind. However, whichever person you vote off,
make sure not to rush, be calm, think about what you are doing, vote
with your heart, and most importantly -- take this vote seriously. Thank
you.

What can I say?? Obviously it's impossible to show up if your isp or phone
line doesn't cooperate enough to allow me access to anything online. Poor
timing if you ask me. Especially right before an important immunity
challenge. (By the way, we didn't regain our isp until early evening the
next day) I hold no grudges against those who have voted against me. It's
all in the name of the game. All my votes against everyone are deeply
regretted, but its one of those things you have to do to play Survivor. I am
proud of the fact that not once have I cheated. I have won a tshirt. And my
daughter enjoyed indirectly participating with me and reading the postings.
Hopefully I have not made any enemies. I have developed some nice
friendships during the course of this contest and hope to retain those
relationships. Twice I have voted for myself because I couldn't bring myself
to vote for my tribemates, which is now a detriment to me here, near the end
of the game. I, like the other 3 contestants would love to win a world of my
own. I've never had my own world. However, if I get voted off, I will be a
good sport about it all.
