Video Game Survivor Gabon Episode 10 A hidden immunity idol is dishonorable
Last time on Survivor the merge was on as Adrian tried to ally with Burke who ended being annoyed. The tribe was given the name Kabila by As which means backstab in Swahili. Adrian stole some of the food but Max with the help of Barney and Skinner stole it back as the tribe was in chaos as alliances shifted constantly. 7 of 9 won immunity over Worf and the former Simpsons tribe members targeted Burke for his idol while Max flipped and warned Burke in order to vote out Adrian. However As and Worf warned Adrian but in the end Adrian refused to listen and Burke used his idol which neglected 3 of the votes against him and Adrian was voted out in a 4-2-1 vote. 9 are left who will be voted out next?
Kabila Tribe Night 24
The tribe came back to camp after the eventful vote.
"What the hell happened?" Rupert asked "I know Burke used his idol but why did he have 3 votes?"
Burke looked over to Max who was distracted talking to Sli. "Max sold you guys out." Burke said "He betrayed you to take out Adrian."
"What?" Rupert asked shocked
"Yes, and he is part of my alliance now." Burke added
Rupert's Confession: I have lost Thane and Hellscream and with people in my alliance willingly to go off on their own and vote differently I am not sure if I want to stay. Barney and Skinner seemed fine with it but Max is a loose cannon and I do not feel like I want to stay with him if he will pull a stunt like that.
Rupert walked off as Max tried to chase him down but Rupert shooed him away.
"He is a bit upset." Barney said "I am not happy either."
"Well it has to be done." Max said "Adrian could have targeted anyone not fully human. He was too much of a risk to keep in."
Burke watched grinning.
Burke's Confession: The biggest alliance is the Simpsons alliance and if I can break Rupert away and take in the other three I can control the game. I know they do not trust me but they will.
Sli however was cheerful.
"YES! YES! YES! He is gone!" Sli yelled dancing around
"That is one less annoyance around to hurt us." 7 of 9 added
"Well I warned him and he was taken down by a human." As said "I find that ironic."
Sli's Confession: Adrian has been nothing but an annoyance and he only got to the final 10 by luck. Now with him gone I can sit back and relax but in the back of my mind I know that the game is continuing.
"So I was wondering since the four of us are here maybe we should team up for an alliance." As suggested
"Yes, I agree. This alliance seems honorable as I have seen in challenges." Worf added
"Sounds good, I like this deal." Sli said
"Agreed, this seems like a stable alliance." 7 of 9 added
As's Confession: The plan worked. While Adrian is out Sli and 7 of 9 is willing to join up with me and Worf. The first target is Burke since even without an idol he is dangerous and needs to be voted out. However we need one more to do it.
Kabila Tribe Day 25
Worf was out hunting with Sli.
"So despite being blind you can still see?" Worf asked
"Yes, I can see through the force." Sli replied "Despite that everyone kind of treated me as truly blind. I am not sure I am a sniper."
Worf's Confession: Since I am in an alliance with Sli and 7 of 9 I wanted to get to know them. When I offered to go out hunting with one of them 7 of 9 declined but Sli was more than happy to accompany me.
"So why are you with 7 of 9?" Worf asked "She never seems very grateful or friendly."
"Well she is aright once you get to know her." Sli replied
"Well she voted out my ally Kirk." Worf said "So while I do think she is loyal I want to keep an eye on her just in case."
"Do not worry if she makes a move she will tell me." Sli said
Sli's Confession: While I do like the alliance I do have to heed Worf's warning. 7 of 9 is stubborn. Because she wanted to vote Flanders out and refused to budge. But hopefully she does not do that again because I hate to lose a possible big alliance again.
"Just watch yourself." Worf warned as As is walking with 7 of 9 nearby.
"So what was it like to be a Borg….when you were one?" As asked
"I listened to a central mind." 7 of 9 said "It was not something I enjoyed."
"Well, at least you are human again." As said
"Mostly. I still have some Borg parts but my emotions are slowly returning." 7 of 9 replied
7 of 9's Confession: While I am still learning emotions and getting better at it. The lack of emotions makes me a better player. Emotional players make quick judgements and bad moves while I think on a cognitive level and makes moves on what I think is best. I made a bad move voting out Flanders but I ended up taking out Adrian.
"Well at least that is good. When I was raised I was told to treat humans like cattle." As said "However I ignored that I treated the humans with respect which is why my planets prosper….until Anubis destroyed my fleet and bombarded my planets."
"That was not good." 7 of 9 said "What happened?"
"Well I fled and I am taking refuge on earth with permission from SG1." As explained
As's Confession: I am trying to make a new life for myself. I am not proud of myself for going from an Emperor to a simple peasant. I hope to come back to my planets to help the survivors but I need to bide my time.
Burke met with Barney and Skinner.
"So I wanted to meet with you two to offer my assistance in your alliance." Burke said
"What about you alliance?" Barney asked
"It was temporary alliance." Burke explained "I know you targeted me because of my idol and my idol is gone so I am no longer a threat."
"He is right about that." Skinner said
Burke's Confession: I really did not need to use my idol last night but it was better that I used it since it took the target off my back. Now to recover and take control.
"Besides Sli and 7 of 9 joined up with Worf and As and if they get control I will be the first one out." Burke said
"Then why come to us?" Barney asked
"Because I know you guys are not tight." Burke explained truthfully. "However Max and Rupert are both threats in the end and I have angered enough people most notably Adrian, Worf, and As where they will never vote for me."
"He is right." Skinner said
Barney's Confession: Burke reminds me of hmm who was that guy again? The very old rich guy…Homer's boss…oh Mr. Burns. Someone who would sacrifice his own mother to get ahead. But if he keeps his word me and Skinner could benefit.
"Good to see we are on the same page then." Burke said before walking away.
"Should we go with him?" Skinner asked
Barney shrugged "Probably. We need to see what Max is thinking."
Burke was watching nearby.
Burke's Confession: Even without my idol I can still cause disarray within the alliances. If I can get Barney and Skinner on my side I can take out everyone else and destroy the alliance within.
Rupert and Worf were walking to the tree mail.
"So I heard of your previous seasons." Worf said "You play with honor and were even part of the Heroes Tribe in one season."
"Yes, I was part of the Heroes Tribe unfortunately the villains prevailed but the one who played the more heroic game won."
"Good, I like people who play with honor." Worf replied
Worf's Confession: I wanted to talk to Rupert all day because if I want to find allies I want people who I know can play with honor and integrity. Rupert is one of the few people here who has a reputation and it is a good one.
"So what do you think of your alliance?" Worf asked
"Not sure, my close ally was voted out before the merge and Max is flipping." Rupert replied "So I might look for a more trusting alliance."
"Well As is a good guy and is trustworthy." Worf said
"Good to hear." Rupert said
Rupert's Confession: I have no confidence in my alliance right now and I was informed that they are consorting with Burke who I do not trust at all. I want to try out a new alliance and see how that goes. I hate to betray my original alliance but with the direction they are going I cannot stay with them.
Reward Day 26
"Welcome to reward." Nighteye said "Today's challenge you will competing to complete 3 puzzles. First puzzle is a slider puzzle, second is a phrase that you have to unjumble, and finally a 200 piece puzzle that is supposed to be a 3-d rectangle. There is a twist. The first 3 done with each puzzle can block someone so they cannot advance. However it can only be used with someone in the same stage so a slider can block a slider and a jumble can block another jumble. Once all 3 puzzles are done you win reward. Reward is a picnic on top of the tallest hill with an all you can eat feast. So everyone draw for spots and let's get started." Everyone gets into position. "Survivors ready…go!"
Everyone starts working on the slider puzzle. Some people were better at the puzzle than others. Max finished first and blocked Burke who was almost done with his.
"Burke is out!" Nighteye said
Sli was struggling while she could see the shapes she could not see the patterns. 7 of 9 then finished and blocked Skinner.
"Skinner is out." Nighteye said as 7 of 9 started on the jumble. Rupert then finished and blocked As.
"As is out." Nighteye said.
Barney then finished and headed to the next stage.
"Sli and Worf look out of it." Nighteye said as 7 of 9 and Max were neck and neck. Both finished as the word was Reward is Waiting. 7 of 9 tried to trigger the block but Max was slightly faster and managed to get past before it triggered but in his haste he did not trigger his block. Rupert was then finished and blocked Barney making the final puzzle a three person race.
"This is going to be close." Nighteye said as time passes. Sli has given up and watched while Worf managed to finish the first puzzle and started on the second but it was too late.
"7 of 9 finished! 7 of 9 wins reward!" Nighteye said "7 of 9 you get to choose 2 people to join you and one person to go to exile."
"Worf can go to exile" 7 of 9 said "And Sli and Rupert can come to reward with me."
Worf head to exile. Sli, Rupert, and 7 of 9 you will spend the afternoon at reward. I will see you at immunity." Nighteye said
Exile Island Day 26
Worf arrived on exile and read the note to find the hidden immunity idol.
"A hidden immunity idol is dishonorable…however I can use it." Worf said trying to locate the idol.
Worf's Confession: I do not approve of using hidden immunity idols in the game. I find it dishonorable and makes the weak willed go further. However I can still use one in case someone cheats at immunity or even to give myself an advantage in strategizing.
After a few hours Worf gave up.
"Damn it." Worf said heading back to the shelter to rest.
Kabila Tribe Day 26
The tribe was back at camp mostly relaxing.
As's Confession: My alliance made a deal before reward. If one of us wins we send someone from our alliance over. Unfortunately out of the 5 of us I had to come back to camp but no big deal. We are still trying to solidify Rupert and Sli is 7 of 9's closest ally.
Burke was in the shelter with Barney while Skinner and Max were out gathering wood.
"I know they are trying to get Rupert to flip." Burke said
"Probably, but Rupert is strong and loyal. He will stay with us." Barney said encouragingly.
"But I hate not having control." Burke said "But I need a plan B."
"Well why not try to get someone else to flip?" Barney suggested "It's not like we can focus on one."
"Maybe…" Burke replied thinking.
Burke's Confession: Rupert is a wild card right now. Barney thinks that Rupert is with us but Barney is a naïve drunk. And I know I will be targeted next. As and Worf will never side with me. But maybe I can think of something.
"Just relax for now. We should be good." Barney assured.
Barney's Confession: I went through life as a drunk who bounced from one dead end job to another in order to pay for beer. I live in a horrible apartment and still I had little worries. Burke needs to calm down a bit.
Outside of camp Skinner and Max were gathering wood.
"So how much do you trust Burke?" Max asked
"He seems trustworthy." Skinner replied "He wants to get the job done."
"True but there is something sinister about him." Max said "Not evil but someone who will do anything to win."
"Well for now I trust him." Skinner shrugged
Max's Confession: I do not fully trust Burke. He had an alliance with Sli and 7 of 9 and is willing to come to us and betray them. That is someone I have to watch because he will try to get in and take us out from the inside.
Reward Day 26
The three climbed up the tall hill.
"Why did it have to be so tall?" Rupert asked trying to catch his breath.
"I climbed higher." Sli replied as they got to the top "We are here." A long table was shown covered in food.
"This is what I am talking about." Rupert said
Rupert's Confession: I was kind of surprised when I was chosen for reward but I cannot complain. I get to eat and this might get me further in the alliance and get further in the game since I cannot trust my alliance.
The three starts to eat.
"So for someone who is military you seem less disciplined and not very strict." Rupert commented to Sli.
"Well in combat they call me a hard ass but that is because I am trying to make sure no one gets killed." Sli explained "Outside of combat and the military and I am a lot more friendly."
7 of 9 nodded thinking to herself
7 of 9's Confession: The more I think about the more that Sli is a threat. She is friendly and a social butterfly while strong she is not strong enough to be labeled a physical threat. I might take her out soon but not right now.
"Well let's just enjoy this feast." Sli said
"I agree." Rupert replied as the three ate not really talking much about strategy.
Sli's Confession: I think by having Rupert join me and 7 of 9 I think we may have secured him and with any luck Worf found the idol. The game is going well now for me but I always need to be on my toes just in case.
Immunity Day 27
"Welcome to immunity." Nighteye said "Today's challenge will require you to slide down a slide into the lake below. Under the water are three bags. You need to untie them. If you surface you have to go back to the top of the slide. Once you collect all three bags you will take out 21 letters. You need to arrange the letters to make a phrase. First person to complete the phrase wins immunity." Everyone gets into position "Survivors ready….go!"
Everyone slides down into the lake and dives in. Burke surfaces first and heads back to the beginning empty handed.
Rupert and Max surfaces next each with a bag. They place it on the shore as Worf comes up with a bag. 7 of 9 came up empty handed as they all started for the beginning. As then comes up with 2 bags. Sli surfaces with a bag. Burke slides down and tries again. Barney and Skinner were both struggling as they surface with no bags.
"So far mixed results." Nighteye commented.
As surfaces with his last bag and heads back to the puzzle area to assemble the puzzle.
"As is heading back." Nighteye said as Burke and Skinner has given up while Barney finally gets a bag. Worf and Rupert grab another bag as they head back to the slide.
As tries to sort out the letters looking confused. "Crap…" As said
Max managed to grab his last two bags and headed to the puzzle area while Sli managed to get her second bag as Rupert and Worf slides down and dives down.
Max enters the puzzle area and starts to assemble his phrase. Rupert surfaces with his last bag and arrives in the puzzle area.
"Three people are still in it. Worf is struggling to get his last bag." Nighteye said. Sli finally got her last bag but it was too late as someone completed the puzzle.
"Survivor Gabon Immunity!" Rupert yelled
"Rupert wins immunity!" Nighteye said "Congratulations Rupert you have won 3 extra days in this game. However one of the remaining 8 of you will be going home. Head back to camp."
Kabila Tribe Day 27
The tribe came back to camp with Rupert ecstatic.
Rupert's Confession: I only won immunity once in all of my seasons and now I have no worries of going home. My biggest problem is now should I stick with my tribe or join the other alliance because they seem nicer and more trustworthy.
Burke pulled the Simpson's tribe aside.
"I was thinking out of the group Sli is the most threatening." Burke explained "As and Worf are both strong and 7 of 9 is smart but Sli is both and will not have a target on her head compared to the rest."
"I guess we can target her." Max replied "I do like her."
"Even more reason to vote her off." Burke said "She is a good social player and that is what wins this game."
Burke's Confession: Social games win Survivor not physical and not mental. Sli is friends with everyone here and the rest of her group all have flaws so once she goes I can start picking off the rest and then split up the Simpson's alliance.
"So are we all in agreement?" Burke asked
"Yes." Barney said
"Sure." Skinner replied
"I am." Rupert said not convinced.
Rupert's Confession: The more I think about it the more I feel that Burke is a snake. He is a villain like Boston Rob. He plays hard and everyone listens to him. I do not want him to get any further. He somehow managed to slip into this alliance and controls it but I need to see what the other alliance is planning.
Burke leaves as Barney and Skinner wander off leaving Max and Rupert.
"Do you really want to go with him?" Rupert asked
"It might be the best option for now." Max replied "His idol is gone."
"Well I do not trust him." Rupert said "And you lost a lot of trust in me."
"Listen Rupert." Max said sighing a bit "I will never vote you out. You have my word."
"I am not sure whose word I can trust in this game." Rupert replied walking away.
Max's Confession: I made a promise and I plan on keeping it to Rupert. He might not believe me but I rather keep my word to him for once. Besides there are some bigger Zerg to roast in this tribe.
On the other side of camp the other alliance of Sli, 7 of 9, Worf, and As met up.
"So we need to take out Burke." As said "The guy will turn on you in an instant. In fact he already turned on Sli and 7 of 9."
"I know he turned on us." Sli said "I am in."
"Good." As said
"I hate when dishonorable people get far and Burke has not kept his word once." Worf explained
As's Confession: So we are taking out Burke. We are 4 and I think we have Rupert on our side. Sli will go to him after we are done here and if everything goes right we will have the advantage next time.
"What about idols?" 7 of 9 asked
"Khan had one." Sli said "But he out and Burke had one. Worf you said you did not find one?"
"None." Worf replied
"I think we are safe.' Sli said confidently.
Sli's Confession: I am a bit nervous coming in but I do not think they have a reason to target me tonight. I am not the strongest or the biggest threat. I am just some seemingly blind girl who is also an expert sniper who can use the force to see.
After the alliance breaks up Sli goes up to Rupert.
"So we are voting out Burke tonight." Sli said "You are welcome to join us."
"What do I get in return?" Rupert asked
"Well when it is down to the five of us you will most likely be the swing vote. Because I have no intention of voting you out." Sli explained
"Okay I am in. Besides you are more trustworthy than my alliance." Rupert said
Sli's Confession: I got our 5th vote. I am so excited for tribal council tonight because I doubt anyone else will flip from our alliance.
The tribe started to pack for Tribal Council as 7 of 9 was stopped by Burke.
Burke's Confession: I do not want to leave anything to chance. I feel that I have the 5-4 majority but I want to give myself some extra insurance just in case someone is foolish enough to flip on me. 7 of 9 is the only one who I think can flip.
"We need to talk." Burke said to 7 of 9 when she was alone.
"What is it?" 7 of 9 asked
"I know you are voting for me but I ask you what happens once the other alliance is gone?" Burke asked "Will you take a chance with Worf and As who both are loyal and if you get to the final 3 with Sli who can destroy you in the jury phase."
"What are you talking about?" 7 of 9 asked
"I am saying that I am voting for Sli because she will win." Burke explained "She is a good social player and even Barney and Skinner said that they will vote for her over you because she blames you for Flanders going."
"I will think about it." 7 of 9 said
7 of 9's Confession: Burke made some good points. Sli is a threat and can beat me because I am not the best socially but is it too early to betray her? I need to think about this because once I make my choice it might be too late to go back on it.
Tribal Council
"Welcome to Tribal Council." Nighteye said "I will bring in the jury. Flanders, Hellscream, and Adrian finally voted out of the last tribal council." Adrian came in with his Fleet Uniform but all beaten up. "Also Adrian foolishly started a fight with hellscream and lost." The remaining tribe members laughed "Okay in all seriousness it has been a hectic few days. Worf how was exile island?"
"It was like it always was. Lonely and I hunted the idol." Worf replied
"Did you find it?" Nighteye asked
"No, besides I really do not care for the idol. Better to win without needing to use one." Worf explained
"7 of 9 how was reward?" Nighteye asked
"It was satisfactory but it is only the first reward. The food was decent though like the company." 7 of 9 said
"I agree. Thanks again for taking me." Rupert said
"You are welcome." 7 of 9 replied
"Burke as the numbers dwindle how will that change the game?" Nighteye asked
"It's simple find a group of trustworthy people and hope for the best." Burke said "I barely survived the last tribal council and this time I know it is no different."
"You deserve it." Worf said
"You cannot blame me for playing the game." Burke said
"You will backstab your alliance like you did with me and you alliance last tribal council." As said
"I am sorry but I am playing the game and it is not my fault that you tried to betray me first." Burke replied "Besides I feel more comfortable in this alliance."
"As, do you feel that Burke cannot be trusted?" Nighteye asked
"He claims that he is playing the game but he is snake." As replied "He betrayed Worf and blamed me and then used an idol to try to break me and Worf apart. Went to Sli and 7 of 9 and now is betraying them."
"It's just a game." Burke replied
"Burke, you don't think you deserve the hate?" Nighteye asked
"I am flattered that I am considered a threat but I am just playing the game." Burke explained "But I guess some people are angry at the fact that I out strategized them."
"We will see." As added
"Sli, what do you feel with the vote looming?" Nighteye asked
"I feel pretty good, I believe in my allies and if I am on the losing side of this vote then so be it." Sli said
"Barney any last thoughts on the vote?" Nighteye asked
"Not really, I am just seeing how this plays out since I am not really in danger though." Barney said
"Why do you say that?" Nighteye asked "A bit overconfident?"
"No, because they have no reason to vote me out. I am neither a threat in the game or in challenges." Barney explained
"It is time to vote…Worf you are up first." Nighteye said as Worf goes up and votes.
Burke
"There is no idol for you to hide behind." Worf said as As votes followed by Burke.
Slee
"I have no more use for you." Burke said as Barney votes followed by Max then Skinner. Rupert then goes up and votes. Then Sli votes.
Burke
"Nice job betraying us." Sli said as 7 of 9 finishes the vote.
"I will read the votes." Nighteye said grabbing the urn. "First vote…"
Burke

Sli looked surprised

Sli
"One vote left…twelfth person voted out of survivor and forth member of our jury…"
Sli
"Rupert I counted on you." Sli said
"I voted for Burke." Rupert said confused.
"As did I." As said
"Me too." Worf added as they turned to 7 of 9.
"Wow way to stab me in the back 7 of 9." Sli said "I wished to voted you off when you wanted Flanders gone."
Sli walked up with her torch.
"Sli the tribe has spoken." Nighteye said snuffing her torch as Sli walked away.
"Wow, I know I wanted her gone but that was a bit harsh of 7 of 9." Adrian said from the jury.
"Silence Adrian!" Nighteye yelled "Tonight's vote showed who is on whose side. The question is…can one side come back and no one is truly safe. Head back to camp."
Next time on Survivor…
There is backlash over 7 of 9's betrayal. One survivor starts playing sides with both alliances. Loyalties are questioned and a major fight happens between two of the calmest members.
Sli's Final Words: I am not bitter at being voted out I am bitter that my closest ally betrayed me. 7 of 9 I hope it is worth it because you lost my vote. I would normally cheer for the last woman left but I want you in the jury next you ruined our game.
Voted for Sli: Burke, 7 of 9, Barney, Max, Skinner
Voted for Burke: Sli, Worf, As, Rupert
Notes on the booted:
Sli is not my OC but someone who gave me permission to use. She is actually a character in the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic MOORPG who is a blind solider who uses a sniper rifle. In war she is serious but outside she is more fun loving and unfortunately she came in 9th despite being fun to write for.
So sorry for the delay been VERY busy. But feel free to read and review.
