Oh boy! Time for an exciting season! I hope you guys enjoy watching me just as much as I'll enjoy playing.
We got our tribes the other day, and I am pretty happy with mine! We have Ibe, the easy first vote. We have Bubba, who I know from other games and love to death... can't wait to work with him. Eliza is a crazy psycho, I'm pretty sure, so she could go early too. I know Sophie from other stuff, but she doesn't know this is me. I think if she were to find out it's me, she'd come after me, so I am glad that I am playing alias. We have Dave and Erik as well, who are sort of just in the middle, and I don't really care about. And then we have the wonderful me!
This first challenge blows. My computer gets decently slow internet here at college, so I can never place very well. I also need to do like 1,000 other things tonight for games and homework, so I'm having trouble focusing on fixing my clock for it.
Also, I'm pretty busy from tomorrow night through Saturday night. I'm definitely putting up a bootlist!

Well, I think she's Miss Imaginary, or Michael Jacques, or whoever that is! I worked with him in a game once, and he drove me nuts! We were supposed to be f2, but then he turned on me after I like sorta turned on him... I don't even remember that game- it's all a blur! Anyway, he's a total psycho, and if that's him he needs to be REMOVED! But if not then Eliza actually seems pretty cool  |

Okay, so I totally forgot to talk about JT!
There are some interesting things going on with JT. First of all, he signed up for this game with me under the pretense that we're going to have a final 2 alliance. This actually IS an alliance that I want to keep, although I am anticipating that to be hard. Assuming I create some solid block of 4 in my tribe with Bubba, and hopefully Erik, they will want out JT. Not only is he a heavy hitter, if Bubba finds out who he REALLY is, then he'll for sure want him dead. And I don't want to be between two allies, but I feel like I already am.
I'm not going to try and mend the situation at all right now- that's too risky. I am going to have to do something, unfortunately, once JT, Bubba and I are all on the same tribe. Until then, I'm gonna rock the "playing both sides" strategy.
*evil laugh* |

Interesting start Taj. If you had to choose between Bubba or JT which would you choose?

I would unfortunately choose JT! I don't like turning on my F2s! BTW, I got home in time to vote  |

So this situation is rather interesting. Apparently, there are a few alliances going on right now within my tribe. There's the alliance between myself, Bubba and Erik. Then apparently there's another alliance between Erik, Sophie and Eliza. If Sophie and Eliza are aligned, then the fact that I warned Sophie about Eliza probably means she's coming after me. Erik has set himself up quite nicely, and I'm not sure if I can exploit him as a snake without it having some major consequences. Dave is next to go, but if he does, then it's going to be Eliza and Sophie fighting Bubba and myself for Erik, which is an uncomfortable situation.
Ultimately, it'd be nice to win immunity, and then have a swap and just get myself out of this messy tribe. I can probably survive one more tribal council before I really need to be worried. Bubba and I just need to make sure that Erik is more with us than with Sophie and Eliza. Otherwise, I'm screwed. |

Okay! So we won immunity, which is fantastic, and I formed an alliance with Sophie, which is also great news. I also heard from Bubba that Sophie and Erik aren't as close as we once thought. We also thought about taking out Erik for being a snake. So presuming that we stay in these tribes for a while and go to TC, we'd probably boot Eliza next. Then, we'd boot Dave, and then take Sophie with us and boot Erik, who we don't trust.
I think we'll swap soon though, or something fun. I'd really like to get to Ubirr before so many idols start flying around... that's going to be the craziest part of this game! |

All right! Not sure why I start confessionals like that- I guess it helps me clear my mind... a bit. I also don't know why I'm writing a confessional at 4 in the morning. I should be doing something like sleeping, probably. Oh well... I need to be majorly productive during the week this week... Yeah... good luck with that. Off of that side rant, JT spilled some vital information about Ubirr these past few days. He disclosed to me that he has an idol, and there are three total. So he has one, two left. I want to make sure I can track all of this shit. I can't have idols screwing me over if I make it that deep into the game. JT also claims he knows the other passwords, so that's useful. However, if I get sent to Ubirr, you have to decide between guessing a password or getting letters (courtesy of Bubba,) and I think it'd look sketchy if I went straight to guessing my first time there. Oh well- the people who have never been there might just assume that anyone there has had an idol. I still want one. Ideally, JT, Bubba and myself should all get idols. That'd put me in the best position. What isn't a good position is the ridiculousness that is the fact that Bubba wants to KILL JT. JT is someone who annoys Bubba greatly, and Bubba figured out his alias... so he wants to kill him. That's going to get really messy, and I hope I can somehow avoid that. Yep... this game should be interesting for dear old Taj, and I probably seem like a background character. Anyway, new tribes. Eliza Orlins - Willy Wikle Tamara "Taj" Johnson-George - antmwhite Travis "Bubba" Sampson - bubbatrubbatime Erik Huffman - Coolbeanserik Lindsey Richter - stellarquakex Dave Ball - davethedreadlord Richard Hatch - arihrannar@hotmail.com Andrea Boehlke - Asianxchick90210 Silas Gaither - Gberg10880 Jerri Manthey - JerriJerriBaby Amber Brkich - Celinexx0 *adds to buddy list* Okay, I noticed that we have 5 of my old tribe members, which is super nice. Bubba and I both PWed a game that Andrea was in, and we both sort of hate her actually, so I think we'll probably try and kill her first. I mean, why not? Hopefully the 5 of us will stick together and be able to survive. Furthermore, I hope the other 6 aren't smart enough to work together to pick us off. I'd like to kill any former Gunlom on our tribe, whom I cannot now recall due to an updated memory wall.  Whatever. I'm not really worried. I'm sure everything will work out. |

Thanks Parv! I've never been in a game this big before, so I'm doing what I can to stand out! |

Oh boy oh boy! I should go sleep but I want to write one of these! Okay, so my biggest fears decided that now would be a great time to come true... the 6 of them ARE smart enough to team up. So now Taj has to try and work another angle, and quickly. Luckily, Bubba used his main to figure out that their target is Eliza, who I can totally do without, so I have at least one round to work. Silas was online, and seemed to have an IQ higher than 1, so I decided that he might be someone I can work with. Bubba and I were both talking to him, and it appears as though he wants to stick with Andrea. I have seen Andrea play before. No offense, but she isn't the brightest. Whatever, so Andrea aside, Bubba and I start to simultaneously work out a deal with Silas, that if we vote out an old Burrunguy, we can work with him and form a more powerful alliance, working with members of all different former tribes. Silas likes this, and Bubba suggests also including Erik, which Silas agrees to. He then says he wants a sixth in either Lindsey or Richard, and I could really give two fucks at this point, so I say we should wait it out and see who's more active. We also agree that we need to win immunity next time. Duh. Also, Dave is around somewhere, but he's virtually useless to talk to, so we'll see what happens with him. Hopefully by the time there are 9, there can be a strong alliance of Bubba, Erik, Silas, Andrea and myself. I would feel decently secure in something like that. I feel as though the 6 aren't looking to pick us off, but rather prevent us from doing that to them. Thus, hopefully we can stress tribe strength when our numbers aren't so threatening. PS. Despite real life circumstances, Amber should be the one to die this round Stupid game. |

This one will be relatively short, but thank GOD Amber died last round. Of course, we had Jessie come over so old Burrunguy is still in an equally shitty position. However, I think Dave and Eliza will go before any of the old Burrunguy, and at that point we can either make a move, or be swapped.
I don't see us being in these tribes for too long. I think we might go back to a bigger number of tribes at possibly, say, 24? I just feel like there's a lot of people that we still need to get rid of before we head towards single eliminations. Could be wrong though. I've never played a game this big!
For now, my goal is just to make sure it isn't me. Once this tribe is at 9 I'll make a move. |

"in time we hate that which we often fear"
"we must become the change we want to see"
Does that mean anything to any of you? Probably.
JT is basically my slave (funny how times change,) so I am happy to have those passwords. I will probably go to Ubirr this round because Andrea was dumb enough to let me have it. The only thing I'm worried about is if I pick the wrong place to go. If I pick where Jessie went, I'm going to end up leaving without my idol! That would just be bad. I'm going to try and talk to her and get a feel for what Ubirr is like. Basically, I need her to tell me where she went.
Also, Erik, Bubba and I discussed taking out Silas for the lulz when we get the chance. I would, of course, love to! I want to do anything that might make me more of a bitch than I already am. Well at least in my confessionals. Apparently Hatch has no loyalties and is willing to vote with us. But I need him to die eventually, since Gunlom is so strong.
As for the idol, should I get it, I want to keep it a secret from EVERYONE. In the end, I trust no one and that's just how it's going to be.
==================================
So in another game, I just got called out by a PW for depending on past relationships, and thus playing a weak game. I'd like some of your opinions if my doing that here is making me a weak player. I don't think I'm depending on my past relationships, but more so using them. After all, you gotta use what momma gave ya! |

Silence, Silas
You guys guessed it... this is a confessional dedicated to Silas, and how much of an absolute dumbass he is. He needs to have his vocal chords removed from continuing to dig himself a deeper hole, although you'd think by how far his head is up his ass, we wouldn't be able to hear him anyway.
The bitch comes up to me out of NOWHERE, and basically tells me that he wants to work with me. Now at the time, when I was in minority, I liked him. But after realizing I can pull things and be in majority, I was able to analytically review my confessionals, only to discover how DUMB Silas is.
Anyway, he tells me he wants to work with me, but only after he votes off a few former Burrunguy. I'm sorry, what? You honestly expect me to sit idly by while you pick off a few of my old tribe members (and close allies, might I add,) then work with you?! I honestly can't believe I was up for that as long as I was. He's a total dumbass. I can't wait to kick his ass to pre-jury, just for being so dumb.
A little survivor advice:
Don't tell people you want to work with them, and subsequently tell them you want to vote off their probable allies.
As for Andrea, I guess I don't hate her. I mean, she kinda wants me to go to Ubirr. So... the bitch may be dumb, but she's not as bad as Silas, and she is at least helping me out. Silas is just making me LAUGH.
Silas, die. Additionally, I can't wait until he reads this post-game.
EDIT: Now I'm reading this post game... don't I feel dumb! |
