Round 1 Confessionals

[Mikey "B"]

YES!!!

Can this be any more perfect?!

I landed on a tribe with one of my best allies from a recent game (Sandra), and another ally from another recent game (Lex).

That gives me 3/4 people I need to secure a majority on this tribe. That is perfect. Just need one more. Which of these suckers is it going to be?

I haven't talked to Lex yet about this but I don't anticipate it to be a problem. I told Sandra that I know Lex but I don't know if I should tell Lex that I know Sandra. I don't need people being paranoid about whether or not I am with them or the other person. It's early in the game, I wanna be with them both geez lol. So I am not sure if I am gonna tell Lex or not.

Waiting for other people to come on so I can chat with them. Not much luck yet. John Kenny has PMed both myself and Sandra and Sandra exchanged a few PMs with JK. He hasn't replied to my reply yet though so no exchange between us so far.

JT just signed on so I am talking to him now. Will give another update later. But right now, I'm sitting on cloud 9 and just so happy about how things turned out. I did NOT want to land on a tribe with Greg or with Ryno. I think I'd get along with Greg but maybe not...his boyfriend just voted me out of an AS game that Greg was hosting and I didn't leave the game on good terms with his boyfriend so he might not like me much. Ryno and I...we always target each other anymore. So very glad to be apart from them.

C'mon tribemates...I wanna meet you all...sign onto AIM ya mofos ;D

Day 1 Summary...

@ Sandra



"I want you as an ally!"

Sandra's response...

TOTALLY!

@ JT



"I want you as an ally!"

JT's response...

TOTALLY!

@ Lex



"I want you as an ally!"

Lex's response...

TOTALLY!

Success.

Except...I might not want Lex as an ally. JT doesn't like Lex and I like JT so far and am not really that close with Lex. Plus Lex says he knows Alex. I said myself that I didn't need Lex being all paranoid if I told him I know Sandra (which I didn't do) and now I'm doing that because he knows Alex. But I'm also doing it because Alex is obviously a good enough player because he is in the F5 in that other game. I don't need a good player like Alex gaining control of this tribe.

I also have to consider that JT is obviously a good player because he has been around ORGs for a very long time as well. So I have to take his opinion into consideration when he tells me he doesn't like Lex and says Lex will not be an asset to our tribe. I kind of figured Lex to be the kind of person that turns on his allies. I think I had heard that about him before and I may have seen him do it too. Not sure. He didn't get to do it to me in our game together but I don't doubt that he would have.

JT seems like a trustworthy guy and someone I'd love to work with in this game. JT also said he wants to talk to Sandra because Sandra seemed nice in the forums. If they hit it off like me/JT did then we could have a shot at a legit strong alliance right there. Much better than a Mikey/Sandra/Lex alliance.

So I'm hoping that ends up being the case right now.

I'll have to weigh my options though if and when we go to tribal council and depending who gets targetted when we go.

But I think it was a wise move to align with JT. And I didn't actually align with Lex...but it is kind of assumed on both our parts I think. But if it isn't official...too bad.

[Mikey "B"]

First impression of Alex was a good one and I left a good first impression on him as well.

He says he likes myself and JT the most so far. I fully plan on turning this into an alliance.

The bad news is that Sandra is missing out on talking to these guys. I can only really look out for myself. I am going to be allied with Sandra...and I'll look out for Sandra...but I gotta look out for #1 before I can look out for anyone else.

If Sandra lands outside of the majority I will do what I can to ensure he isn't one of the first people booted (depending how many times we have to go to tribal if we even do have to go) but I'll fully side with JT and Alex if the three of us form a threesome and they think we should boot Sandra. I'm in good with them and I'm just going to have to keep in good with whatever group I land in.

First target of mine right now though will likely be Adam unless I have a great conversation with him. He won't be at the challenge on time so that helps Sandra out because someone else will have been in the same boat as her and I know that Sandra will have good first convos with people on this tribe that matter. Plus, JT will likely target Lex if our conversation last night was any indication of his feelings towards Lex. I just see him targetting him, unless Lex proves useful and Adam or John don't prove to be that useful.

On the whole though, I'm well-liked by many now and I just have to be careful not to let anyone find out that I am aligning with so many people this early on. I didn't intend to...but it is sorta just happening lol.

<3 sitting pretty

Last night an official alliance was formed between myself, John, Alex, and JT. The good news about this is that myself and JT are at the center of it. Alex likes us the best, John likes us. So when all four of us were in the chat after Lex left, JT decided to bring the four of us together. He asked John about it and then John posted in the chat. Then I asked Alex what he thought about the proposal. He was all for it. Everything fell into place and history was made.

I think, as of right now...I'd probably say we would boot Lex first. I don't want to be seen as associated with him now that everyone dislikes him so much so I'm having to tell the others that I don't like him/am annoyed by him as well. He also isn't proving to be very useful challenge-wise. I mean...I'm back on this morning after only 5.5 hours of sleep and it looks like Adam has contributed more than Lex has.

Unfortunately, Adam isn't even on AIM so I can't even have just a general conversation with him between postings, which sucks. Maybe I'll send him a pm just saying good job so far and asking how much longer he'll be online to help out yada yada.

Sandra must have checked the forum before work or on a work break because I see she logged on but didn't do anything for the challenge. I hope no one else notices that because I don't want them to suggest booting her.

It does look like we are going to lose unless we give an amazing performance the remainder of the challenge. We have moved up to second place but Gunlom has like a 700 point lead. Ugh.

btw I hope you're gonna double check all the points. I don't trust any of these people to tally.

Rob and I are also counting points, individually and as a tribe
