Hi tribe-mates! To stay true to the show I'm going to be wearing only one change of clothing until this game is over! 
Anyways, sounds like our treemail is hinting at a game similar to isolation, basically we'll be moving around a board and taking out spaces in hopes of getting one of them stuck?
If so, we may have a few stategic choices, spreading out and trying to keep us all in as long as possible, or a more chess-like approach where we protect one tribe mate by sacrificing others, if it only matters that we have the last member standing.
But this is all speculation. Good luck to all of us and go team!

Hello Paladins! As I read it, we're still awaiting the first challenge.

So it looks like Ctorj, MNOWAX, and I have better odds of lasting longer being towards the middle. Maybe we only plan on moving out me and MNO? We're spaced apart and not right at the edge?
I think what will trip people up is being bunched together, because a team loses if they can't move, not if they're surrounded by black holes, so using their own, or even our pieces, as blockers wolud be a more efficient way of simply waiting to black them out.

Per the treemail, we should drive them into a corner. A decent strategy unless you have a better one.
That's all I got since you can basically "teleport" to any position in the grid. Or am I missing something?

I'm wondering if the movement must be linear along the hex-grid.

You can only move to an adjacent space. It's the blacking out that can be ANY spot on the board. If we could more to any open space it'd just be a game of who knocks out the last space on the board.

well it definitely changed my strategy. I though it just blacked out where you left from. now i'm thinking maybe split the board while we move?

I have a few ideas of my own. I might jump ahead of you. Also, if you are wanting to keep the strategies more secret, PM people.

sorry Amb but because of an upcoming twist you must use only this thread or the pm system to communicate with each other. However if i do another game the QT sounds like a good idea.

I'd much much much rather discuss in the thread than start a confusing PM chainmail method of discussion. Other than people peeking, which I'd just rather assume people can avoid the temptation, I don't see a reason for our strategies to not be in this thread

Ack, you moved I see.
Actually not a horrible move. I recommend next MNO move to B5 and black out E6 to put the squeeze on their lower half. Looks like players can only movie their own piece, so if it gets close to time for our turn and MNO's hasn't gone I guess it's ok to jump the line.
Other thoughts about our next move(s)?

Whoever moves next for our team (and I would suggest Amb, to open our options) should choose their next blackout depending on the other team's move. Only choose the one that will block in at least one of their players. In other words, if bgg is next to move, block out F3 or F6 to block Chaz or word, respectively. if Chaz moves, bgg or word can be blocked. if word or jbv moves, bgg can still be blocked.

We really should give up on me and focus on either Sentran or Amb moving out of the kill zone. Keep focusing on blocking their guys in there initial line.

I've been studying the map further and just realized something: We lost. I imagined myself as them and saw how absolutely screwed the other team is. I can't imagine a scenario where we win. Seriously. Look at it from their perspective. We made the mistake of making the line too close to them.
I will TRY to make it out of there, but it looks bad. The only good move is to C3. Everything else can be blocked in 2 moves

Yeah, we look pretty dead. Our only shot is they may dance themselves into a smaller corner through some slip-ups before we run out of space. I recommend we at least keep moving forward to force them to close us off as far right as possible, to delay, while trying to maybe trap them in the top as a group, or at least pin the two people still adjacent in the home row.

Completely my fault. I misread the rules, and thought that the players needed to take turns between their group (as in each player moves before one can move twice). In that scenario, I assumed that if a player was blocked, the opposing team would be getting double moves. I lost this for us, and I'm sorry.

We still have a chance if they slip up trying to beat us too fast. I recommend talking smack and hopefully they'll slip up and miscalculate a block.
Unless someone else has a better idea.

BLock off E3 and E4 ASAP, then we can try to deal with zag. Easier to deal iwth one person rather than five. Amb YOU NEED TO GET OUTASAP! as soon as we block up the others Ctorj you need to get out when we make zag move.

I disagree. Once Zag is within our "wall", we have a SERIOUS problem. We can actually win this. Trust me on this team.
MNO: Move to B5 and block off G8.
Even if we block off E4, bgg will just move up and then we have to chase him. If we block off G8 now, we take out 3 guys in 1 more move and they still haven't cornered any of us yet. Once bgg moves from F4, we block it and own this game. They think they have us, but they really don't. We CAN win this.

There is an alternate strategy where:
Amb moves to C7. Either way, we must block off G8 though.

Sorry for the triple post. Let's move Amb first. It buys us one more space.

You win MNO. You're right. Blocking off E4 is more important. G8 CAN wait a turn.
My final recommendation:
Amb moves to C7, block off E4.
Then they HAVE to block off D7 in which case we can then block off G8 or E3, depending which move they make.
No more posts. I swear.

If we let Zag inside our wall, wouldn't it be easier to trap him? He will be blocked in 3 of 4 options immediately, and we can black block him on the last, trapping him. We have 3 of their other players all but trapped, and we can have our remaining two work on their last one. I'm not moving unless told to do so, it's just my current thoughts.

I agree. I didn't want to post that thought because I figured they'd be spying on the thread and adjust their strategy. Oh well.

Correction: I think Zag is using himself as a blocking piece to continue the wall. If they get it all the way across, they will beat us. We may still be able to win, but it will be difficult. Amb MUST move.

I think we can all agree that Amb should move back to B6 so he doesn't become immobilized in the next turn.
Which one should we black off next? I'm thinking either D3 or G8. Leaning towards D3 though.
