Video Game Survivor Fallout Episode 4 are you just trying to sabotage us?
Last time on Survivor with Solider gone it was 2 vs 2 on the tribe with little progress to get Engineer to flip on Sentry. On Skyrim tribe Tolfdir, came back from exile with some lost trust. On StarCraft Tribe Valerian offered to throw the challenge to get rid of Alexei despite doing nothing to earn it. On Pokémon Tribe Gary had Snorlax admit his secret of knowing a previous contestant as Umbreon explained that everyone knew someone. StarCraft Tribe lost immunity thanks to Valerian messing up the puzzle but later Alexei privately admitted that he sabotaged him. Because of its Valerian was voted out 3-2. 17 are left, who will be voted out next?
Team Fortress Tribe Day 10
Sniper and Demoman were outside of camp by a lake.
"So, how long have you been an expert with explosives?" Sniper asked
"For years…I worked in the bomb disposal unit for a while before joining the game we are in, you?" Demoman asked
"I was an army sniper and one of the best." Sniper replied "I could do both bow and gun."
Demoman's Confession: At first me and Sniper were just allies due to no one else in the tribe and we got along to being good friends. We come from different countries but we get along.
"But I am really hoping for a switch soon." Demoman said "We tried to convince him but Engineer will not budge."
"True but Sentry did win us a challenge…somehow." Sniper said
"Well hopefully it happens." Demoman said as they both got up to go back to camp.
Sniper's Confession: Engineer's reason to keep Sentry is based on one challenge performance. We are not sure how it happened but it did. Still he is a liability. But I think you all heard of this already.
"We might have to go to a tie breaking challenge." Demoman as they walked past Sentry.
Sentry's Confession: They underestimate me. I won the challenge and I will win again if I do not need to move.
Skyrim Tribe Day 10
Cicero was by the fire roasting a molerat.
"Oh, lovely it is for you to come to me. Now all your meat is mine." Cicero said "Oh how the night mother would be proud."
Tolfdir comes over "Cooking a meal?" he asked
"Yes, very much…all mine. I found it." Cicero said trying to cover the food with his hands almost burning them.
"So, tell me about the jester outfit?" Tolfdir asked
"Oh, it was terrible…I lost multiple Sanctuaries and I had to protect the Night Mother." Cicero explained "I got this from a victim. A jester who kind of angered a noble."
Cicero's Confession: People see me as a joke. A weird man. But I had a clear mind until those jerks took out my friends. But I made them pay. The night mother is still around. Her body still giving the listener guidance.
"I see, so how you eliminated any members of the mages guild?" Tolfdir asked
"Oh plenty…me personally? No. It all comes through contracts." Cicero explained "Oh best one is a bard who was so terrible that a lottery was made to choose who gives us the contract."
"I see, anyone I know?" Tolfdir asked
"Some Orc." Cicero replied
"Oh him…yeah he was bad." Tolfdir chuckled
Tolfdir's Confession: I hate killing. I rather teach and explore. But I need to get on Cicero's good side. He the unknown factor. So, I want to keep close to him even if I do not agree with his methods.
Harkon comes back to camp.
"Oh, hey where have you been?" Tolfdir asked "I did not see you go to bed or in the shelter at all."
"I have insomnia sometimes." Harkon said "I took a bit of a walk and relaxed by the sentry."
"Good to know." Tolfdir said "Carry on."
Harkon's Confession: Last night the bandit died. I drained him too much so I found another one. There is a factory full of them. They might have guns but they are no match for me.
StarCraft Tribe Day 10
In the middle of camp Matt was tending the fire as Alexei walks up to him.
"I am sorry for voting out Valerian." Alexei said "But he tried to throw the challenge to get me off."
"I know, I understand but we never threw it." Matt said "Still I guess I am next right?"
"Well, unfortunately yes." Alexei said "But if there is a switch just remember that you can count on me. I want us four to the end."
"Thanks, I guess." Matt replied
Matt's Confession: Last night my ally went. I was not surprised though and we tried to fight. I know the Protoss want me gone and Alexei. But I am not going to give up. If I am going down, I am going down fighting.
"I am going to check in with Felix." Alexei said walking away.
"I will be here." Mat said poking the fire.
Alexei's Confession: Keeping Matt would not be a bad idea for me. He is alone and the Protoss control this tribe so I might just have to tie it up and take out one of them instead.
Alexei walks over to Felix who is guarding the camp.
"Thanks for keeping me." Alexei said
"You are welcome." Felix replied "I wanted to keep the more honorable people. Valerian threw the challenge."
"Well, just so you know that I am loyal and Matt is loyal to us if we switch." Alexei said
"I am glad. He is looking a bit down though." Felix said
"It will pass." Alexei added
Felix's Confession: I cannot help but think that we messed up last night. Alexei proved himself but I am not sure if he is 100% loyal. I guess it is just this new body that makes me wary of others.
Pokémon Tribe Day 10
Arcanine and Umbreon were by the fire.
"So, you hate water?" Umbreon asked
"Well, most fire types hate them." Arcanine explained "It messes with my fur and my attacks."
"For me I hate fighting types." Umbreon added
Umbreon's Confession: I feel secure in this tribe. I have an alliance with all the other Pokémon. I would have liked to ally with Gary but he seems to distant to me. Still if we go to a couple of tribal councils, I will be fine.
"So, what shall we do today?" Arcanine asked
"Maybe, wander just outside of camp." Umbreon replied
"We did that…want to go further?" Arcanine asked "Could be fun."
"Well, I would like to do that at night when it is safer." Umbreon said "Plus, I can hide better."
Arcanine's Confession: I like Umbreon but she sometimes does not realize that we are playing a game. She needs to start playing the game or get voted out.
"Aww you two make a great couple." Snorlax said "You two do make a good alliance."
"Umm thanks." Arcanine said feeling awkward.
Snorlax's Confession: I knew that those two are in a two-person alliance. I will not break that up. Both are very happy and hopefully it works out.
Reward Day 11
Everyone walks in. "Welcome to reward." Nighteye said "Take a look at the new StarCraft Tribe. Valerian voted out of the last Tribal Council. So, before we get to the challenge, I want you to rank each other based on how important they are to the tribe. So, everyone fills out a form." Everyone takes a form and fills it out.
"The ranking for Team Fortress Tribe is Engineer, Sniper, Demoman, and Sentry." Nighteye said
Engineer's Confession: I am happy to be considered the most important. Since over the last few days I have been making camp life better.
"The ranking for Skyrim Tribe is Harkon, Tolfdir, Vex, and Cicero."
Tolfdir's Confession: Harkon deserves to be the top one. While I used my magic to help the tribe, Harkon has done a lot in gathering supplies at night.
"The ranking for StarCraft Tribe is Alexei, Zaratul, Felix, and Matt."
Alexei's Confession: I guess my hard work paid off. I am the most valuable in the tribe while Matt is the least. Kind of funny seeing that I was almost voted out last time.
"And the ranking for Pokémon Tribe is Mew, Arcanine, Umbreon, Snorlax, and Gary."
Gary's Confession: Of course, I am last. Those Pokémon all have bias against me. I just wonder what Nighteye have planned for us.
"I want the top person on each tribe to step forward." Nighteye said as Engineer, Harkon, Alexei, and Mew stepped up "Now in this bag are four rocks. One is purple. The one tribe that gets the purple rock will be no more and the members will join the other three tribes. Now choose."
"I know which one is purple so I will choose last." Mew said as they grabbed the rocks.
"Reveal." Nighteye said as Mew's rock is purple. "Pokémon Tribe is no more and they will join the others. Harkon if you noticed that your rock has a 1 on it. It means that you will choose two members of the Pokémon Tribe. The unselected member will go to exile and will return after Tribal Council. They will be immune. So Harkon since you got the 1, you choose first." Harkon looked at the Pokémon Tribe.
"I choose Umbreon since I like the dark so shall she." Harkon said as Umbreon looked shocked.
Umbreon's Confession: I did not expect to be chosen first but it works for me. Hopefully they do not plan on voting me out first.
"Team Fortress Tribe since you got the #2 rock you choose second." Nighteye said
"I choose…Gary." Engineer said surprising his team mates.
Demoman's Confession: We could have the fire dog or the fat one or the cat with powers but no you had to choose the normal human. Seriously Engineer are you just trying to sabotage us?
"I choose Arcanine." Alexei said knowing that he was next to choose.
"Okay, now Skyrim Tribe, you can choose the second member." Nighteye said
"Easy, Mew." Harkon said as Mew floats over.
"Snorlax, you will be heading to exile island." Nighteye said who then notices that Snorlax was asleep. "After you wake up. Everyone else head back to camp."
Team Fortress Tribe: Engineer, Demoman, Sniper, Sentry, Gary.
Skyrim Tribe: Harkon, Tolfdir, Vex, Cicero, Umbreon, Mew.
StarCraft Tribe: Alexei, Zaratul, Felix, Matt, Arcanine
Exile Island Day 11
Snorlax is dropped off at exile and proceeds to sleep for his entire time there.
Snorlax's Confession: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Team Fortress Tribe Day 11
The tribe came back to camp.
Gary's Confession: So good news and bad news. The good news is that I am away from those Pokémon, but the bad news is that I am with the worst tribe.
"So, this is our shelter." Engineer said "We have four rooms….one was for Solider but he got voted out. We also have a table; some chairs and I am finishing up a bathroom."
"Wow, I never expected this." Gary said "So, in my original tribe I was the outsider I hope not to be that here."
"We have to see how you fit in." Sniper said
Sniper's Confession: Gary was added to our tribe and he seems to fit right in. I hope he does not cause waves and if he keeps his head on straight, he will survive.
Demoman and Engineer go off alone.
"So, why did you choose him?" Demoman asked
"He was the bottom of the tribe looking over the ranking." Engineer explained "Besides we can easily pick him up or vote him out first."
"Yes, but we need stronger people because we are one of the worst tribes here." Demoman said rudely "Then again you seem to love sabotaging us."
"Do not get back into voting off Sentry." Engineer said
"*beep* that thing." Demoman said walking away
Demoman's Confession: This suck. We are weak. We have their weakest member and Engineer does not see that. You know what *beep* him. My goal is to take him out and get Gary on my side.
Demoman goes over to Gary who was still with Sniper.
"Hey, Gary." Demoman called out "Do you want to be in an alliance?"
"Sure, you two offering?" Gary asked
"Yes, final 3 with us." Demoman said as Gary shook his hand.
"I am in." Gary replied
Gary's Confession: I love this. Just an hour into arriving at my new tribe I ended up in an alliance. Which means the tribe is divided? I can take advantage of this.
Skyrim Tribe Day 11
The tribe came back to camp with their two new members.
Umbreon's Confession: So, me and Mew ended up on a new tribe. It's a bit scary since we could be picked off if we lose twice. And neither of us has an idol to use and they might have one.
"Welcome to our camp." Tolfdir said "We might have enough room for you all seeing that the shelter is built for five but you both are small."
"That is fine." Mew replied "We can sleep anywhere."
"Great, that means no one will try to push me out of the shelter." Vex said
"And we have two animals to eat." Cicero said as Mew and Umbreon looked at him.
"He is just joking." Harkon said "I apologize for him. He likes to make dark humor jokes. He means no offense."
"None taken." Mew replied
Harkon's Confession: So, we have two new members which is bad for me and good for Vex. She could turn them against us and Cicero is not helping. So, I need to get their trust first and take out Vex then those two will go next starting with Mew.
Vex walks over to the two after they split from the tribe.
"Listen, just stop you know Harkon is in control of the tribe. Do not trust him." Vex said "He will take both of you out."
"Thanks for the warning." Mew replied
Vex's Confession: Since we got two extra members I decided to try and pull them in as allies before Harkon gets them. I am not interested in sticking with my tribe and if it goes to rocks then I am willing to go to them.
"So, us three in an alliance?" Vex asked
"Sure, that sounds great." Umbreon replied "Besides Cicero is creeping me out already."
"I know, he is the first target. Aela and me wanted him gone but Harkon took out Aela because she is a threat." Vex explained "So he will go for you two."
Umbreon's Confession: So, Vex pulled us aside and offered me and Mew an alliance. Harkon then offered the same thing and called Vex a liar. But I prefer Vex over Harkon. Due to Cicero.
StarCraft Tribe Day 11
"Welcome to our camp." Matt said to Arcanine "We have a shelter and are well protected."
"Good to know." Arcanine said "I feel like I am going to like this camp."
"Where did you sleep?" Zaratul asked
"In a cave that Mew made." Arcanine replied
Zaratul's Confession: In a twist we managed to get Arcanine. Alexei probably choose him since he could use fire and so far, he is friendly enough. Hard to tell what is going on with the Pokémon Tribe since they never went to Tribal Council.
"Listen, I would like a chance in this tribe." Arcanine said "I do not want to be the first off this tribe."
"Do not worry, pull your weight and you could survive." Alexei said "You have done nothing yet."
"Good, because I was fourth in my tribe after Gary." Arcanine lied "So I would be glad to have a solid alliance with all of you."
Arcanine's Confession: I came onto this tribe as the odd one out but I wanted to make sure I have a chance to get into this tribe's good graces so I had to lie to them that I was near the bottom. Who knows, I might be better on this tribe.
"However, I lack hands to move things." Arcanine pointed out
"You can help with patrolling and guarding." Felix said "Like I do. Maybe look for supplies."
"I can go out with him later." Matt said "Maybe get out of the camp."
"Would be rare for you to do that." Alexei said
Alexei's Confession: Arcanine coming to this tribe puts a dampen on my plan. He is an obstacle for me to take down. I threw one challenge and I might throw another and how disloyal he is to the rest.
Matt and Arcanine walk out of camp to explore.
"Not much around here. A few houses which we explored and some crates that were picked through." Matt said "Say while we are out would you like an alliance?"
"How far up the totem pole are you?" Arcanine asked
"Bottoms unfortunately…and Alexei hates me because he thought that Valerian threw the challenge." Matt confessed "But we can sway the Protoss."
"I would have to reject." Arcanine said
Matt's Confession: Well I tried to get Arcanine on my side but he did not seem interested. I do not blame him. Still I have to keep trying.
Immunity Challenge Day 12
"Welcome to immunity." Nighteye said "So I assume that some of you have adapted to your new tribes. Today's challenge will be targeting with artillery. Over in there is artillery and your goal are to hit the target. You get points depending on how close you get to the center. Team with the highest amount of points wins immunity and reward which is some brand-new mattresses. Second place wins immunity and last place goes to Tribal Council. Skyrim tribe someone will have to sit out."
"I will sit out." Umbreon said
"Umbreon take a seat and everyone else let us get started." Nighteye said "First round is Sentry, Tolfdir, Zaratul. Each person takes an artillery and fire."
They all fire as Sentry hits the center somehow, Tolfdir hits the outer edge, and Zaratul gets near the center.
"Team Fortress is in the lead with 5 points! Skyrim with 1. And StarCraft with 4." Nighteye said "Next up is Gary, Vex, and Felix."
Gary fires and gets 1 point. Vex fires and gets 4. While Felix struggles due to lack of hands but manages to get 2 points.
"Team Fortress and StarCraft have 6 points. Skyrim has 5." Nighteye said "Next up is Demoman, Cicero, and Matt."
Everyone gets three points.
"Everyone did decent. Team Fortress and StarCraft are in the lead with 9 and Skyrim still has 8." Nighteye said "Next up is Engineer, Harkon, and Arcanine. Go!"
Engineer fires and gets 3 points. Harkon gets 5 points and Arcanine gets 2.
"Skyrim tribe is in the lead with 13! Team Fortress has 12 and StarCraft is now at 11." Nighteye said "Last ones up are Sniper, Mew, and Alexei." Nighteye said as Sniper and Mew both got five points as Alexei was way off and got 1. "Skyrim Tribe wins immunity and reward!" Nighteye shouted "Team Fortress Tribe wins immunity. Unfortunately, StarCraft Tribe you will be going to tribal council tonight. Everyone heads back to camp."
StarCraft Tribe Day 12
The tribe came back to camp.
"I am sorry for the loss. I thought I had it." Alexei said
"Not your fault." Zaratul replied "A bunch of us messed up and if you still got 5 points we would have lost."
"Well, hopefully we can figure out who goes tonight." Alexei said
Alexei's Confession: I threw the challenge but since we were so far behind it was not really needed. Tonight, someone from the original; StarCraft Tribe is going home. I can use Arcanine to my advantage, He is just a Pokémon and a tool. Nothing more.
Alexei goes over to Matt and Arcanine.
"So, who are you two leaning towards?" Alexei asked
"Honestly, my options are open." Matt said "We could go for anyone including you."
"Well, I have an idea. The two Protoss are a close two." Alexei explained "We vote out Zaratul the leader and we can take control of the tribe. Felix can stay since he is a great guard and is more personal than Zaratul."
"I agree." Arcanine said "I do not really know him."
"I am fine with that." Matt said
Matt's Confession: This might be good for me. If Alexei is really going to flip this is my chance to take control. Arcanine seems to be on board.
Afterwards Alexei goes up to Zaratul and Felix.
"So, Matt is trying to get you out. He tried to recruit me." Alexei said "He also got Arcanine on his side."
"I expected more from him." Zaratul replied "Arcanine can stay for now since he is new. But Matt had too many chances."
"Agreed, it has to be done." Felix said
Zaratul's Confession: Alexei told us that Matt is plotting to take me out. Well we are three strong and it is time to vote Matt out. I hate to do it since I respect Raynor and his crew.
Alexei then left.
"Well I hate to do this." Felix said
"Me too." Zaratul replied
Alexei's Confession: Now that I got both sides against each other I have one more thing to do before we go to Tribal Council. I have to talk to Arcanine.
Alexei goes up to Arcanine.
"I have an offer for you." Alexei said "How would you like a two-person alliance?"
"Sure, I have none so far." Arcanine said
"Good, just vote out Zaratul and we will be solid." Alexei said
Arcanine's Confession: I have not gotten to know many people on this tribe but Alexei might be playing too hard. Instead of going after him directly maybe I can take out his ally. Namely…Matt.
Before the vote Zaratul walks up to Arcanine.
"So, I want to know if you want to join us?" Zaratul asked "I know that you are new but I want to give you a chance."
"Sure, I would love a chance to survive on this tribe." Arcanine replied "Let me prove my loyalty."
"Good, then vote for Matt and you are in our alliance." Zaratul said "Because we will vote out Snorlax afterwards."
"Sounds good to me. All he does is sleep." Arcanine said
Zaratul's Confession: I wanted to make sure that Arcanine is with us. I hate for him to be voted out for just being the new guy. The one on exile is usually asleep so I want Arcanine to be safe at least a couple of Tribal Councils.
The tribe packed up and headed out to Tribal Council
Tribal Council
"Welcome to Tribal Council." Nighteye said "Arcanine get a torch and take a seat. Snorlax from exile island will observe this Tribal Council and will join you afterwards. So Arcanine what is your impression of the tribe?"
"Well, I love the shelter. It is much better than our cave and we are well defended." Arcanine replied "While I do feel like an outsider, they are doing a lot to make me feel welcome."
"Felix, what do you think of the twist?' Nighteye asked
"It was interesting." Felix replied "I like that we are getting new members. Most would see them as expendable but I see them as new members and new allies."
"Matt, last Tribal Council you lost an ally. Has your position changed at all?" Nighteye asked
"Kind of. I had to make some new allies and I love this new twist. Nothing against the Protoss but a line has been drawn." Matt replied
"It was Valerian who drew the line." Zaratul said "You just followed him."
"Alexei, last time you were the target. Do you feel vulnerable tonight?" Nighteye asked
"Not sure. I have not heard my name come up." Alexei said "Then again it would always be a trick and I could go home."
"Zaratul, does Snorlax coming into the tribe change your strategy at all?" Nighteye asked
"Not at all." Zaratul replied "I would welcome him in. Plus, who knows how loyal he is to others."
"It is time to vote. Matt you are up first." Nighteye said as Matt goes up and votes.
Zaratul
"Nothing personal, I just want to survive." Matt said as Alexei votes followed by Felix then Zaratul.
Matt
"You followed a challenge thrower and are now targeting me." Zaratul said "I originally wished to be an ally."
Arcanine then votes.
"I will read the votes." Nighteye said grabbing the urn. "First vote."
Zaratul
Matt
Matt
Zaratul
Zaratul glances at Arcanine who looked confused.
"Fourth person voted out of Survivor…"
Matt
"Well I tried." Matt said grabbing his torch and bringing it up.
"Matt the tribe has spoken." Nighteye said as Matt's torch was snuffed as he walked away. "Tonight, another member goes and you gain another. Hopefully, I will not see you again. Seriously I hate having the same tribe come in consecutive times. Head back to camp."
Matt's Final Words: Well I tried and was voted out. I was never really interested in the game and only played it on Raynor's insistence. Still, I got to know Valerian a bit more and Raynor's old friend Felix. So, it was not a total waste.
Next time on Survivor…a twist sends two Tribes to Tribal Council as it tests the loyalty of the newest members.
Voted for Matt: Zaratul, Felix, Arcanine
Voted for Zaratul: Matt, Alexei
Notes on the booted: Matt ended up not being very interesting to write for. While Valerian was supposed to be more low-key Matt just never developed as a character. Luckily, he was not supposed to last long either.
