Joint Safety Chain & Discussion Thread

In here you'll do two things:

1. Talk among yourselves. About whatever you like. But probably also about the Safety Chain. Up to you though, really.

2. Receive and pass on Safety in the form of this sturdy and impervious Goulash:



Once you have been given the Goulash, we highly recommend that you make as few posts as possible before deciding to whom you would like to pass them on. The faster this gets done, the more time you'll all have to wade into the next Episode instead. But technically, you can take all the time you need (just not any longer than Monday night 6:30pm GMT).





First, roll the dice by typing: "[LEADINGROLE]" without the quotation marks, and press post. A die roll will then show up in your post.

- If you rolled an even number (2, 4 or 6): you must help even the numbers and pass the Safety Goulash to somebody who is not on your Tribe.
So if you're in the Defence, you must pass it to somebody in the Prosecution; if you're in the Prosecution, you must pass it to somebody in the Defence.

- If you rolled an odd number (1, 3, etc): you must do the opposite of what the last player did when they passed the Safety Goulash. (Oddposite, get it?)
If whoever gave you the Goulash was passing it to you from the other Tribe, you must pass it to somebody who is on the same Tribe as you.
If whoever gave you the Goulash was keeping it within their own Tribe, you must pass it to somebody on the other Tribe.
Basically, if the last pass happened across Tribal lines, yours must stay within the Tribe. If the last pass was within a Tribe, yours must be across Tribes.

- There will be instances where an even roll or an odd roll will produce the same outcome. (For instance, the very first roll! Which will need to produce a cross-Tribal pass regardless.) But you should still roll anyway, for Fun.

- Once one of the Tribes is down to just one member left without Safety, you will no longer need to roll any dice, but can freely skip this step (the Fun will have worn out by then, surely) and just pass the Safety Goulash on to whomever you please, no matter what Tribe you are on.




Second, after you've rolled, you will need to decide to whom you wish to pass Safety, out of those who remain vulnerable on whichever Tribe the dice have designated. When you're ready to do so, make a second post with the above image, and then replicate this sentence:



Except that you'll need to replace 'X' with the name of the recipient (who must be somebody still present in this thread and not yet Safe via Goulash). And then replace 'Y' with a compliment of your choice which will sooth their ego as well as their nerves, because that's how we do the business of favouritism in show business - performatively. To make this easier, especially if you're on mobile mode, just copy the code from this box:

[b]Oh, I feel I have lived through this moment so many times before... so often have I dreamt of passing this Safety Goulash on to 'X' because they 'Y', and I know the Safety Goulash shall be left in their capable hands while I go to join the Member Group called 'I Ate My Goulash'.[/b][/div]

And then you must go to your Profile and join the 'I Ate My Goulash' Member Group immediately.

Also, you must not leave that Member Group once you have joined it. If you do not join the Group within five minutes of passing on Safety, or if you leave the Group, you will be heavily penalised and may wind up getting yourself eliminated from the Game. So please double check the Group names before you press any buttons, and don't mess this up.



The Winner of the last Challenge for this Tribe, and thus the first person to hold and pass on the Safety Goulash is....
