Strategy

[chase]

Here's the thread where I'll post all my strategy confessionals.

So far it's looking good. I contributed well in the first immunity challenge, which I think will keep me in a good spot. I've had good conversations with Silas and Andrea and they both think we should just try to keep the tribe strong. Silas seems to trust me, too. And of course I know Ethan already, so there's an easy alliance.

James is the obvious target right now. He wants to target Morgan because he thinks the girls will stick together. That's silly; he's just scrambling for a way to stay alive since he didn't do anything in the challenge. I don't believe a Morgan/Andrea alliance is automatic, and Morgan contributed the 3rd most in the challenge after me and Silas, so she doesn't deserve to go home.

My prize is not a big deal yet, since I don't think I need immunity, but it could be useful in the future. Also, if I tell people about it, it will make them trust me, and that's good.

I think playing as Chase is a good image for the game. I'm often a more strategic, conniving player, but I don't think that's a good strategy to pull right off the bat. For now, I think the best thing I can do is just to be laid-back, good in challenges, and get along with people.

Wow, this is some crazy stuff between Morgan and James.

Silas told me that he thinks James knows some people from the other tribes and they're trying to make stuff up. Morgan, to me, seems very genuine, and I'm having trouble believing that she'd just start making crap up out of the blue - it's not like PMing other tribes telling them that she's on the outs is going to help her stay longer here, and she wasn't going to be booted.

Morgan will probably be out after James, unfortunately. Whether she actually did anything or not, I'm not 100% sure, but a lot of people want to get rid of her.

As for the idol, I shared clues with J.T., and then Tanya shared her clues with me, so I now know all 3 passwords. (So do Silas and Ethan, because I told them.) Now it's just a guessing game.

THanks for the update Chase!

Morgan's leaving next.

After that it's likely either Ralph or Andrea. Me/Silas/Ethan are the core 3. At least I think so.

I feel like I'm in a pretty good spot right now.

New tribes now though!

Thoughts on who you are currently with?

[chase]

I don't have many options here.

I'm voting for Kenny just to appease the majority. Maybe I'll stick around a little longer if I keep being good in the challenges and do whatever they tell me to do. I really got stuck on an incredibly terrible tribe, and if I try to fight the Nanguluwur 6, that will NOT help me. I'll do my best to try to join them until something else happens in the game that gives me more playing room.
