1. What are your thoughts on everything that happened at the first tribal council and people in the game’s reaction to them?

2. Last round the vote was pretty much unanimous, do you think the next vote is going to be this obvious or will a line be drawn in a sand this time round?

- Mon Aug 14, 2017 4:03:28 am #7266 I don't know. I'm not really thinking about the next vote right now, tbh. That was fucked up.

I just really don't want to go out in early jury now and be stuck there with her. Like...I couldn't do it. That was just...jesus christ. Fuck that people say this shit and fuck that it's allowed, honestly. This is the stuff that makes me really reconsider playing ORGs.

I'm glad it wasn't just me who was horrified. It's hard for me to want to play with people now who were fine with it. I guess that's a line drawn in the sand, if you want to know.

But yea that was fucked up, not going to condone that. At the same time, not entirely shocked.


But, getting back to the game and away from the personal stuff, where do you sit now. i've noticed you're taking a more proactive approach as of late.

- Mon Aug 14, 2017 1:29:23 pm #7333 I told you just to wait it out and I'd get shit moving!

I am in a really weird place right now because I have two super close allies in Vytas and Cass, and they are not super close with each other, as much as I have tried and damn have I tried, haha. Strategically I trust Vytas more and have all the faith that he intends to go all the way with me. Personally I click more with Cass and prefer her plans...if they're real, which I don't have that solid faith in.

I'm gonna keep from choosing between them for as long as I can, but the thought that I'll eventually have to turn on one of them makes me feel like shit. UGH. I am in such a hot pickle, to quote my bb Parv. The good news I think both of them think I'm 100% with them.

I really want Katie out this next vote because I didn't like her tribal council answer and we don't talk and I know she doesn't care about me, and I want everyone left to talk to me and care about me, obviously. I want to be high on everyone's list of allies and I know I'm at the bottom of Katie's. So obviously I want her gone. The trick is pitching this to everyone else so it looks like it's in their best interests, and also doesn't look like I'm steering a vote.

Strategically it would make sense to vote out Sarah this round, probably, but...I can't do it, not after she was so upset by Wigles this round. I can't send her to be alone in Ponderosa with Wigles.

Plus shit changes so quickly strategically in this game that who even knows if it would make sense, honestly. This is a lot less clear cut that Socotra was, where we really had the clash of the two alliances. This might eventually turn into that, but right now...here are some of the groups that I'm aware of, for example/reference.

Me and Vytas
Rory and Brenda
Rory and Katie
Mia, Vytas, me, and Brenda
Yul, Rudy, me, and Vytas
Me and Cass
Yul, Cass, Ozzy, and Rudy (and Katie? seriously, I don't know what's up with Katie)
Sarah, Lill, and Katie
Lill, Vytas, and me
Me, Vytas, and Rory

So...see my issue? There's no vote I can make that won't, as Nate put it, draw lines in the sand. So this is a tricky one. There's a zillion people I don't want to go and really only one that I do, and I'm not even sure the one that I want is ACTUALLY what's best for me or just...what looks like what's best for me.

Very confusing. The only people I know for sure aren't working together are basically me and Katie and Rory and Rudy.

The Rory and Rudy thing actually harkens back to this Wigles drama, in like a MUCH less inappropriate and offensive way, where Rudy just...wants Rory out and refuses to work with him and is so mad at him and blah blah, and Rory can't stand him either, and it's just like...I didn't expect the old-school players to get so EMOTIONAL about stuff that's just gameplay. I thought they'd be a lot more ruthless and cutthroat, but instead they get so offended when something doesn't go exactly their way, and they take it so personally. Like Rory and Rudy hate each other for...voting? What game did they think they were playing?
