As we have gathered around the electronic fire tonight, we have learned the quality of starting pitching. With that said, one of you will have to go home tonight. Here are the votes, with one person not voting.


First Vote: Dahsdebater









Second Vote: Willsauve









Third vote: sabreclub









Fourth vote: kneeneighbor









Fifth vote: soxyanks12









And the 2nd person voted out of Survivor IV with only 2 votes is...











Sabreclub. Your electronic torch has been blown out. You are the 2nd person out of survivor IV.

Well, If we learned one thing, it's that tribe 1 did NOT get together and decide who to vote off, :)

Unless I counted wrong that adds up to 6 votes. Tribe 1 had 7 players. Someone could have gotten a second vote with the 7th ballot...no? SHouldnt that 7th vote been cast when it was a potential tying vote?

Bud Selig has been a genius, and also an idiot, depending on who you talk to. One of the things that has worked in my opinion is the wild card. What does wild card mean for this challenge you ask? It means a lot. For the first 5 people (if there are 5 or more) that post in the forum that they want to change tribes, will get the chance too, except for the random tribe leaders that will be selected below. To change tribes, you must say you want to by 5pm central tomm or it will not count. Also, to be able to change tribes, the other tribe cannot have more than 7 members on it, or less than 6 at a time. So that way it will stay with one tribe having 7 members and the other having 6. The tribe with 7 at the end of the shifting (if there is any) will then get to send someone to go search for an idol and sit this round out.

Now onto the challenge. Your tribe will pick any wild card that has ever been, and every tribe member will have to have a different team. The tribe leader is the only one that can sitemail me the teams for everyone. The deadline for teams to be picked is Saturday at 5pm central. If teams are not sent to me by then, your team will be given random teams by me. A 3 game series with standard rules applying for pitching. You will have to use 3 different starting pitchers this time. The games will be done randomly for matchups and home and away.

Keeping with the theme, another Wildcard will be up for bid and will also close at 5pm tomm, or until someone bids 100 if that happens. The item up for bid for this challenge is... "You may choose any playoff team during the Wild Card Era."

The tribe that does the best in these games (tiebreakers are runs differential, fewest runs allowed, then if needed a tiebreaker game) will then have immunity. The losing tribe will VOTE OUT ONE PERSON FROM THEIR OWN TRIBE.

Your right, but I clearly stated that all votes had to be in by 7pm today and even sent the whole team a sitemail to remind them to vote. One didn't.

After going back and looking over votes, I forgot to count a vote. It doesn't change anything though because that vote that I didn't count was for sabreclub.  I missed counting a sitemail. So sabreclub actually got 3 votes instead of two. Guess I should stop working 26 hour days and take a nap every now and then. Sorry for the confusion sabreclub and everyone else.

Not to be argumentative but you extended other deadlines...

Actually that was because I didn't factor in the holiday. In round one, I had to sim a series that did not meet the deadline. My deadlines will be enforced and not extended. I give plaenty of notice and time to get a game, vote, or decisions in.

also in real survivor he stops reading votes once the decision is final, some votes dont get read.

Ok then. My farewell address:

I guess I shouldnt have won my games...

To the three who voted for me, I do not wish you luck. The rest of you good luck. BTW, a group of you may want to band against the few who seem to make it near the finals each season, it is kind of getting old...just saying...

BTW
Al Gore has demanded another recount for me...

Will, they actually stop when the person has reached the majority or the point when no one else can tie them, in this case, if I would have gotten the third vote after the 6th was cast there would have beeen no point in reading the 7th. But in this case there was still a chnace the 7th vote could have made it a tie. Which makes it convenient the 7th vote was also for me.

ah i stand corrected :(

I'm confused (yes, I know that's not a shock to anyone). The tribe picks one wild card, and every tribe member uses a different team. How is that possible if the tribe picks one team?

I think he's referring to NL or AL wild card.. I was confused as well and just guessed that was what he meant..  If so I chose AL Wild Card..

I thought everybody just picked a team...  Anyway, this seems like a really good wildcard so I'm going to go ahead and bid 100 on it.
