Sooky Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I would like to introduce you all to Team Buffalo. Buffaloes have a tendency to not be regarded as that serious a threat to others, but what people don't know is that buffaloes are deadly animals. Whilst I feel some other captains may make a mistake and not regard myself and thus my team as much of a threat, I have others news. Buffaloes have very little predators and can defend themselves well. There is one reason for this, that is because they work together as a herd. Sure, individually it is easy to take out who you want. However, when you work as a team, your chances are much greater. When I last played this game, I was part of the Ninja Squirrels. We won 5 of the 6 challenges as a team and, as a result, 4 out of our 5 original players, myself included, made it to the last 8. As evidence, I attach a video of a bunch of lions v buffaloes v crocodiles. As you can see, the lions start attacking one of the baby buffaloes as no one is around to defend them. However, when the herd regroups, they attack and scare off the lions, saving their baby. This is why teamwork and loyalty are the founding principles of Team Buffalo. Here are some quick facts for you about buffaloes: African buffalo have a democracy. When they are ready to travel, they will stand and turn in the direction they want to go. The majority of "votes" wins and the head female will lead the herd in the winning direction. African buffalo are very aggressive and have a tendency to attack humans. They are very protective of each other and take care of sick and old members of the herd, shielding them from predators. This is what I hope to build my team around. As such, our motto will be "Strength, Valour, Honour". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is buffalo not the plural form of buffalo? Similar to fish and fish (although some people do say fishes) Maybe it's me but buffaloes doesn't look right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Buckle in boys, it's time to launch the new team on the block. We may be underdogs, but smarter and wilier than dogs. Ladies and gentlemen of an inferior quality to us, I give you... The UnderFoxes Our motto: videmus optimos nocte "We see best at night." A team as successful as this one is bound to be needs more than one victory anthem. Be here. Do it. Get the T-shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Have you heard the buffalo theory on why drinking makes you smarter.Its a thing apparantly: A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And, when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, thus making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Sooky Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Have you heard the buffalo theory on why drinking makes you smarter.Its a thing apparantly: See, Buffalo/Buffaloes are awesome. Also in that video I linked, one of them throws a lion in the air. Sorry about that, TRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Stu Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 So I officially retired for two years. Where has the time gone! Scary! Good to see none of you have changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 There's no horses in this game. What's your plan?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizlopi Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I would like to thank DavidMcG for messaging me regarding playing in this game. If i am not too late i would like to declare myself available to play, i would like to congratulate albino rover, sooky, gydiamond, TRS and ludo on being named captains, If i am chosen to play then i will serve whoever i am with very well, however there is quite clearly one team leader that is head and shoulders above the others, and if i was chosen to play then i would obviously want to be with them.

Kyle Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 i say let as many people sign up as they wish. Players can be 'cut' in the draft If they end up not getting picked. All adds to the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'd go with Kyle's idea. Be a shame to lose out on a player such as Nizlopi in the game when there's likely a few (As always seems to be) that struggle to participate for whatever reason.

Quentin Taranbino Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Another very strong player - finished 3rd in survivor 2. Nizlopi is in. We are up to 26 players so the last person in the draft will not make the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
