Fair enough - PSP, as it's the least versatile of our winning choices (only wins against RRR/RSR). I'm sending out a revised win/loss matrix now, Goblins.

Sorry guys, I didn't know there had been any discussion, and given robobob's request to hurry I didn't think there'd be time. Still, I should really have followed up on my lack of survivor-related PMs before posting, so I'm hardly blameless. How about we just chalk it up to experience and move on?

Speaking of which, to stop something like this happening again, why don't we agree to always reply to all survivor-related PMs to confirm receipt?

You can go to the PM outbox and see for yourself whether the person read them or not.

I hope that saying nobody had any objections doesn't mean you guys are STILL PMing each other every time you want to have one turn.. this round should be finished by now..

So, it's our turn again, right?

Just confirming before I make a move... (or some other mimic does)

Eytan is correct. That last one was a tie, and it's still 3-3, Mimics' serve.

It was pointed out to me that I had somehow accidentally swapped RPS and SRP for the teams on the latest list. This has been fixed.

I'm not allowed to post our next set, right? (Does the max-three-in-a-row rule still apply?)

Let's scratch that rule. I only put it in because I anticipated that this would go a lot faster, and I didn't want one person from each tribe to be able to post back and forth and finish the entire thing in 15 minutes. Was I ever wrong.

Go ahead and post.

You may as well keep posting, since you seem to be the only Goblin still participating

No, the other Goblins are still here, but they just haven't posted in a while...

Well, I came far too late; you'd sorted it out for me before I arrived here.

I believe it is the mimics' serve, anyway, so I can't really do much now, except wait with some anticipation.

Well, its about time this competition was finished.. so lets just call this round over (Goblins have won now, theres nothing we can do about it. It was really always going to be 50/50 on the very first turn anyway).

4-4, Mimics' serve. Five rounds left.

If it's clinched already, I'll stop this challenge, provided that three people from the losing tribe accept the fact.

We might as well go ahead, it won't take long now if we're prompt.

Yes, but by the rules of the game, in the event of a tie, the team that won the first round wins.

Oh, missed that. Yeah, so TripleM was right after all. At this point we have 3 moves each of which can be tied by a different goblin move (and in fact, we've been in a similar position for a while), so there's no way we can prevent a tie.

I wonder if, once the first move was decided, we had a winning tactic, or whether our only chance was a goblin mistake. Anyone feel like calculating that?

Well played, goblins.
