attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

State Of The Spoiling
|
Sponsored by RTVW's Community Guidelines and Dabo's Vote Thread. Letter from the editor: While my knowledge of middle-ages lingo (despite my seemingly chronological-advantage) is extremely sparse, I will none-the-less attempt to fulfill my duties as weekly SOTS messenger, with a tinge of the old "bloated toad" thrown in to cover the fact that I have no idea what I'm talking about. So, with scabbard in hand I began my sojourn of medieval fokelore. Wouldn't you know it, I becamest upon a bountiful cornucopia of glossarial nuggets. Ahhh...the internet. Whenceforth all participants were renamed and the theme is... the dark ages!To get us started on our weekly process of elimination, let us take pause at the Medieval Name Generator and establish just who the frick is who... Presenting, your host... Jeff Probst: a.k.a. Eric the Tall On Jalapao, now called Cyniburg resides JT: Otho Smith Taj: Agnes MacLeod Stephen: Little Tom and Joe: David of BaskervilleMeanwhile, on Timbira, a.k.a. Gertrude-the-Silly resides Erinn: Decima Brendan: Magnus Sigurdsson Debbie: Sloane of the Shannon Sierra: Finnabhair Ingen Neill Coach: Crimthann the Boneless and Tyson: Crimthann the Boneless...? No typos here folks...It seems that Tyson and Coach are BOTH Crimthann the Boneless. Yes. Crimthann the Boneless... If ever a name sounded dragonish? Or is that slayerish? Anywhose... Gather 'round and let us first ruminate over the events from ages past...Gertrude-the-Silly and Cyniburg met up and battled on the highlands of Brazilington. Par usual, Eric the Tall presented the immunity standard and both tribes salivated. Eventually, the tribal immunity standard was won by Gertrude-the-Silly, sending Cyniburg to tribal couseling once anew. Amongst the diminished members of Gertrude-the-Silly, the male members debated over Agnes McLeod or Dawnetta of Pennington for bootation. Despite his immunity *cough*cough*, David of Baskerville's attempt to save Dawnetta of Pennington from being banished to Ponderosingham, was met with... a blown torch. No, not the good kind. Alas, the past is the past. Art we to learn a nugget from it? Estee the Great seems to think so. The founder of the Post-Ouster Interviews. Always a good source for the take on tribal dynamics from survivors who are all venegful and bitter. Firmly held within, a straight-from-the-horse's-mouth highlight of Dawnetta of Pennington's lack of game (and surplus of gaydar).Amongst the musings, Dawnetta of Pennington believes that she's cute, flirtatious and underestimated. Oh and that David of Baskerville is in danger? Alas, she is but a loser, doth we take her for her word? A trusted ally to survivorists might be Eric the Tall. What doth he say regarding all the fuss? Dame Suzzee Sockpuppet presents Jiffy's Blog just so we can hear the wise sage's words for ourselves. Direct from JP's nimble fingers: "Brendan is now my pick as the smartest player left in the game. Brendan is one smart dude. Brendan could win. Brendan's fate will come down to how he fares with Coach 'cause Coach wants him gone. Beware granola boy…the Dragon Slayer lurks…." Would this imply that Dawnetta of Pennington used to be the smartest?
Okay, dragon slaying. Hmmm... To shed some light on that, here comes the Shire Bailiff, michel, with the news of the knolls... Headline: The Dragon Slayer
Aha! Would you look at that?! Eric the Tall was correct, A good olde thyme Dragon theme! Get inside the slayer of dragons. Who'd be the dragon and who'd be the slayer? More impressingly, will it really matter?Next comes the Sorceress, Lady Flowerpower, regaling us with the visual proof... that there will be a merge, complete with merge notice (for those still unbelieving)......
"no-knights of the non-round table"
"when Otho Smith reads..."that there will be an individual immunity challenge, complete with Individual Standard...
"hug the maypole, sukkahz"
"fair-feathered friend" and that David of Baskerville finally has his wound looked at...
"the jester's lame leg"
"close-up, just for the gross-out" OH...and that someone cuts the cheese and someone else likes it...
"looks to be male?"
"num-num-num" add to that the misdirectional clues. Via wax-drop seal-points... A feast brings a welcome surprise for one tribe and foreboding news for the other as the unequal tribes are merged at last! The newly merged tribe begins to scheme immediately as old alliances crumble and new ones begin to form. Who will emerge as the leader of the new tribe? A power player decides to come into the merge fighting, but his plan may be thwarted before it can be carried out. Meanwhile, an exiled pair makes a shocking discovery.
Foreboding news, while bad in intent, can indeed still pass over without incident. Alliances crumbling and new ones forming will be the appetizer, while old alliances rebonding will be the entree. Dessert will be passed on. New leaders will be old leaders, for due to the thwarting of fighting power players, they will have to put-aside their ambitions for now. AND The Exiled pair? That's still up for debate. But how funny would it be if Crimthann the Boneless were sent there.
Wait! Before we make any rash and immediate decisions about these misdirections let's harken the sage words of some of our trusted advisors. Sir Byofferalot's Post Merge Discussion Sir Corvisahad's Weight Loss Spoiler Queen VerucaSalt's Players Game Editing Lady Flowerpower's Future Challenges Huzzah! That's a lot to feast on. Scrumpet and Ham, Cheese and Nuts, Dragonslaying and Final Eights. BUT What does it all mean? Well, all you need to remember for this episode is... That Decima, Little Tom, Magnus Sigurdsson and Finnabhair Ingen Neill are ONES to watch. Yet only Otho Smith and Agnes McLeod are safe till F8. That Sloane of the Shannon and David of Baskerville are most in need of being jurored before Final 8. And that Crimthann the Boneless will somehow devour itself. In closing...
RC: Merger Cheese!
Don't they look happy? IC: Individual Standard Who needs it most? Won't matter. But I'll wager a guess on either... Targets: Magnus Sigurdsson~or~ Otho Smith Bootee: David of Baskerville
Why? Because faux idols never work, neither do mere flesh wounds. AND Most importantly, Dawnetta of Pennington WAS the smartest player out there.

The Shire bailiff congratulates you on a job well done. Great SOTS even if I had to learn a whole new bunch of names. I just want to point out that women have done particularly well when dancing on poles... I mean hanging on them. Twila won in Vanuatu and it took Ozzy to outlast Candice, Becky and Parvati in CI. Brendan and JT may be too heavy to stay up long enough to win. I think Tyson or one of the Timbira women have the best shot.

Kudos to Sir Tribe-the-SOTS-Slayer! Another Tribe Epic and an awesome SOTS! (And the little kid in me giggled at the "someone cuts the cheese" and Erinn liking it bit. ) Hope all is going well with you. Good to see you around here! Cheers to Tribe!

AHHHH, Sir Tribesalot, what a spectacular act this will be to follow. Well done, Sire! Your creativity knows no bounds and I think you have presented at least the final act for the poor David of Baskerville...and what a final portrait of him you have painted, indeed! Forever grateful, Sire, Lady Flowerpower

LAST EDITED ON 04-09-09 AT 08:21 AM (EST) Yo Yo Yo Yo, Dawg, checkitout checkitout...You brought it all tonight, Dawg! Dude! Dude! Dude!Dude!
You tore it up! You're blazing hot! You took a standard we all know and made it your own! Dawg! Checkitout! Tribe, that was crazy good...Tight, Dude! Ok, maybe a little pitchy in the middle, but it doesn't matter, you burnt the place down... I think you even shut Paula up for the moment...No, she was just flapping her arms and I couldn't hear her lip blabber over the flab slapping her tatas. You get a four 'Yo' and a four 'Dude' rating from Randy. Glad to see you back. BTW, Emy has been torturing us, and it hurts so good.
