Actually it was BB time... After about a year I am back an playing ORG's again. I'm getting old  Teams have been established. It must be my job to socialize with 4 people on the opposing side and atleast 3 on mine. My past mistakes in ORGs have been relying too much on my ally to talk to people while I sit back, decipher there lies and there truths, and tell my ally what to do in the situation. Once we make the final 2 no one in the jury really knows me. *fail* I need to actually be a part of other players lives(meaning the game, I'm not going to their homes to cook for them and put on interpretive dance acts depicting the devastating trials and tribulations that the San tribe in Africa face in everyday life.) Tonight I'll try and talk with everyone, relate with them, get to know them. No strategy as of yet in terms of "who will go" plans. I would love to see how far I can get by by just talking. What's the point in being in a game if you aren't socializing? |

And my fortune will be saving my butt for every live HOH lol! I think I'm gonna start focusing more on chatting with the other team first. If I am nominated the team as a whole may be more inclined to save me if they think I suck at challenges. And believe me... Unless I am destined to go home for other reasons, boy will I suck at that veto!  So right now, by focusing more on talking to the other team... 1. I cannot be around for the first HOH. 2. I will be nominated if we lose. 3. I have another team on my side that out numbers the other voters on my team by 3 votes this week. So my idea is, talk to the other team. Get nominated by my team(if I don't then that's ok too) Some will know my reason for not playing HOH. And hopefully won't target me early. I'll lose veto on purpose and either remain on the block, or the other team saves me. I should have the votes for a poor performance to stay. And the next week(if it's not live) I can prove to my team that I could be an asset. ;D Fun fact: I've won 1 game before back in '07, the twist was that the house guests were divided into two teams in the begining. ;D Can history repeat itself?  |

Ok, these people don't go on AIM a lot, possibly because they chat on their real AIM accounts.  So far I've talked with Keesha and Neil on AIM, and I've PM'd Will, Erika and Ashlea on my team. When I talked to Neil, I started the convo on his status message, assuming it was something he knew was up there. I think he was confused as to what I was talking about. However... 75% into the conversation we were both able to get back on the same track. We chatted briefly on education, Ohio, and a few things in between. I'm hoping making relationships fast is working and will keep me around for a while. Keesha was nice. We also talked over school. But I went a little more in depth in the history of the recycled game. Basically I asked her directly if anyone has played a second time before, and she said she doesn't think anyone has.  Not sure I believe that, so she may be lying to me... because I'm assuming she isn't dumb. Ashlea, Will and Erika I have PM'd. None of them replied. Hopefully soon. Maybe I'm playing the game too early in the morning ;D |

Ok, since my last post I've talked to Will. And he seems to be a pretty cool guy. I almost found it odd because of the classes we were both taking. He's talking photoshop this semester as did I a year or so ago. AND he's taking piano just like I am. I didn't tell him I was also taking a piano class, but just that I practiced... I didn't wanna look like I was just trying to have stuff in common lol! So, Neil won HOH, and he's someone I talked to previously. I guess you could call it lucky So I may have an alliance with Neil now. And by may I mean as HOH he's probably making a lot of them right now. However, if Neil is being sincere, I have an alliance on the other team. I've also established some sort of bond with Will. I asked him if he wanted to watch each other's backs in the game and he agreed. Him and Neil talk as well. So unless they are already aligned, it may be a possibility to form a cross team alliance, maybe ask Neil if there is anyone on his team he'd want to bring in. Everyone that I PM'd has responded back. I'm gonna lay low for a little while until nominations have been posted. Neil told me he was thinking Amanda and Lisa. That may happen, or it may still even be me since I still don't believe I can trust him 100% yet. Things change on a dime in this game. I'm just gonna make an AIM to get some conversation with every player in this game, before it gets down and dirty. I almost made a mistake in one of my PM's and put my real name |

“We have won by a whisker, now we must begin to govern.” So Amanda was put up and sent out. I'm pretty sure Neil may be kicking himself for putting up Amanda by now. However, now that Amanda is evicted a new week starts tomorrow! One negative of this is that Veto is now on thursday and HOH on Sunday. That means could I be screwed should I be up on the block with a live veto as my only safety pass. However, I'd like to see how far I can get without winning any competitions. A social game can be just as challenging. Hopefully I can keep myself safe until the schedule could change again. I've talked with Renny all day. Pretty cool person. I think theycould easily make a lot of alies in these games so I don't see her leaving for a while. She's one to look out for, but hopefully she'll be one that'll look after me. I actually told my first lie today. I told Renny this is my first game... when in reality it's just my first game after a year(a year and a half if you count proboards) I don't really think she believed me... but it never hurts to try ;D I've also contacted Chicken George... right before I fixed dinner so my convo was cut short. Unlike Keesha, Ashlea, Will, Erika and Renny, he didn't respond to the PM I sent him. Maybe he has an alliance... or maybe he's just not as social as other players. I've noticed if you click the search button up top, you can see how many posts certain players have in there diary rooms. Keesha is in the lead so I guess that makes her a threat, Nakomis will be one to look out for too. I'm one of the more frequent posters so I need to learn to shut up before they all catch on that I have stuff to say Hopefully next week brings more conversation... that's not about getting me evicted I need to decide who I want to ultimately work with in this game. Maybe I can try everyone lol... but we know that will never work. :-P I've messaged or talked to half the players in the game, only 6 more to go. |
