tomjames- You tried so hard to get games in, yet ended up losing because of a simmed game, how does that make you feel?

HOW IT MAKES ME FEEL!!!! It makes me feel like I've felt all week, SICK!!!! I can't win a damn series if my fake little sims player’s lives depended on it. If your busy and can't make your games, let the person your playing know, then maybe something can be done to fix it. Don't just sit there and never open a damn sitemail. Some people want to win that fake million dollars and not report it to the IRS. No excuse me while I got punk up another losing team.

Votes are in. Here is what was cast and the next survivor gone.


First vote: The Taint



Second Vote: The Taint



Third vote: The Taint




Fourth vote: The Taint




Fifth vote: The Taint



And that makes The Taint the most recent survivor voted out.

What is the next challenge? It comes down to my favorite team, the Astros! You must pick a team that had one of the Killer "B"ees on them. What does that mean you ask? The original killer bees were Biggio, Bagwell, Brad ausmus, derek bell, among a few, but for this round, one person in the starting lineup must have a first or last name starting with a "B". It has to be an Astros team, and that player must bat in the lineup and not be taken out. Standard rules apply and two different pitchers will need to pitch in a best of 3 series. The catch is though that each team can only use one occurrence of a team. Teams are due to me Monday night at 5 pm central. This time though, if you do not play your game, you will already get one immunity vote to your name. Bolded names are the team captains and the selections may only come from them. Also, tribe one needs to send someone to the island to search for a clue to a hidden idol.

Tribe 1

joshkvt
tropicana
donaldjtrump
kneeneighbor
ackeytack
fishnasty


Tribe 2

willsauve
soxyanks12
dubrightway

The auction item up for bid this time is, "Pick any Astros team, which doesn't have to have a killer "b" on it. Also by getting this idol, you could still have a killer b on it but assure that you get this team from your captain."

The tribe that wins will be safe, while the team that loses will be voted out by the WINNERS.

"The catch is though that each team can only use one occurrence of a team."

Does that mean everyone on the tribe uses the same Astros season, or everyone on the tribe must use a different one?

Everyone on the tribe must use a different one.

Only one B player has to stay in the whole game or all of them?  If we have more than one B and only one has to stay in the whole game, do we have to declare which one before the game? And if so, does it have to be the same player the whole series?

And for the starter/relief rule, is it that pitchers with half or more appearances as a starter can't relieve, or pitchers with more appearances as a starter than as a reliever can't relieve? In other words, what is the status of a pitcher with 10 starts and 10 relief appearances for example? I have seen both being stated on the Survivor threads over the 4 seasons.

Finally, will homefield be determined randomly?

Home field will go to tribe one for winning last time. Starters will be half or more. When you turn in teams, declare who ur b player will be and he must stay in, but can't change for the series.

Bastan, did u get team 2's choices?  I havent heard at all from our so called captain...I sent him my choice on 2/5 and he opened the SM ...

Ok here are the matchups for this round. Once again, the auction item did not sell. You guys drive a hard bargain to try and sell something around here! Randomly chosen to go to find an idol is joshkvt. When you are ready josh, sitemail me. GAMES NEED TO BE PLAYED BY TUESDAY 5PM CENTRAL OR THEY WILL BE SIMMED AND YOU WILL HAVE ONE VOTE GO AGAINST YOU IN TRIBAL COUNCIL.

Awesome. Ackety is mia...i told him I needed to go to exile cause I am almost certainly not going to gav be time to get mt game in.

MAde the effort to get on and play with dahs and he never messaged me back despite whispering him 5 times. I won't be around tomorrow so you're going to have to sim my game.

1992? Really??!?!!! WTF?!?! This is why the losing tribe MUST always be allowed to vote off its own members.

My killer b (small k and small b on purpose) is going to be pre-steroid Jeff Bagwell.
