With apologies to Lynne...

For starters, Lynne, I think you're a wonderful gal and I like you tons, it's just that the game of Survivor is what makes me do this. It's because we all know my back is to the wall, and I would have absolutely no motivation to call you out otherwise.

If you look at that challenge thread, you can see that Lynne posted 3000+ points. That would mean that she reached level 4 in the game. In level 4, the hammer would be golden, not level-one red like hers is. The evidence strongly suggests that she Photoshopped the image.

I brought this to Sam's attention and he is going to investigate it. The consequence for such an infraction is expusion from the game. Sam told me that this vote wil lgo as planned, and that Lynne will be dealt with afterward.

I propose that we vote Lynne now in order to deal with this impending expulsion. It would be better to be 9-6 for sure instead of a guaranteed 9-5.

Lynne, of course I'm expecting your vote after this, bu tif we're ever going to hold up as a tribe in any way, we need to vote Lynne now before things snowball too much. Vote me out next round-I don't care. I just feel like I have a skill at challenges that is going to be vital for us.

So do what you will. I'm voting Lynne. And if this is it for me, then good game to you all, and I wish you the best of luck.

Also, I'll be back on AIM later, Lynne, if you'd like to bitch me out. I've earned it.

There is nothing anyone can do to make me vote for Lynne. If wanting to win by all costs is a crime then we are all guilty.

I can't say anything else because I don't know what to say.

[Ryan]

But sugar-coating aside, which way do you go, 9-6, or 9-5?

"dealt with" is harsh lol. Here is the entirety of what I posted to Ryan:

Thank you for bringing this to my attention; I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.


Short answer: Unfortunately I can't pause the game to resolve this so things will continue as normal for this TC. I'm going to talk to Lynne and maybe try and see how this happened.


I spent way too much time trying to look into it already. You name it I tried it - looking through every one of her posts for any other evidence, timing of posts, name of posts. I practiced editing and creating new scores in photoshop to try and learn some tips (it's quite easy, lining it up isn't that hard.) I zoomed in like 500% and compared it with all the other scores submitted and my fake one and other real ones. Couldn't find conclusive anything really, besides the really obvious hammer. Which I also tried to replicate by jamming print screen immediately after hitting "new game" lol.


In the end, that one score wouldn't have affected the end result either way even if it wasn't there because you still would have won that round. So I want to talk to her and ask her some questions and maybe she can show me the full thing. It just seems so disingenous. I really hope it's just a fluke or a mistake somewhere. I know she was aggravated and angry and irritable, but still. I have to trust you guys to do these challenges or else I have to spend 8 hours policing everything and I really hate that. Not to mention I have to cut out 75% of challenge ideas because people could cheat. And at the Final 16 of All-Stars I really thought I didn't have to worry about that anymore. ><


Let's pray that it's a simple misunderstanding.

I'm not saying another word so you keep me out of this. Other than cheating is bad, mmmkay.

Explination:

If you recall I got booted at two different times in the process of the challenge. The second time I got booted was because I was trying to install the plugin for Drifts and when my computer self-re-booted I lost my Tontoko high score. I tried to gain it again but to no avail, frustrated, tired and in a lousy mood I did the best I could to recreate the score. It was wrong, I understand that, but we were all at that challenge and felt the toll. I know even a few of you lost high scores at points too, so I hope you understand my motivation in doing what I did. I did not do this to any of my other scores, all were genuine, and even this was genuine, just not a genuine screen shot. I've spoken to Sam, and with his blessing I am still playing the game. If you think this act deserves to have me voted out, please be my guest. But I did not cheat.

Let's hear it from Sam.

[Lynne]

If you need to, we can wait on that. I'd C&P but only Satan's children do that, right? Go ahead and wait if you need to, but Sam gave me his OK and forgiveness.

[Sam]

Lynne isn't being removed. However, if there are future Immunity Challenges which require extreme trust or secrecy or my dependance on you not to cheat, she may not be able to participate.
