Hi everyone, well it's the beggining of a new journey in iS land and I have to say I'm extremely excited for this one. It is most likely going to be my last game seeing how I have a wedding comming which is a lot of responsabilities and things to do so this might be my last chance to engage in a game.
The first time I played, during Egypt, I came really strong and my objective was to be memorable and show girl power. I achieved my objective.
The second time I played, my main objective -ommiting the whole debacle with Tom- was to have a girl win the game, any girl. A girl won, sort of.
This time, my objective is going to be two things, finally reach the jury would be number one and the second one is to be the lst girl standing. Yes, this time I'm not going to be feminist and try to do the battle of the sexes. This time around, I want to be the last girl standing and I am thinking of working with mostly boys to help me out. More so, because I get along better with the boys than the girls but it also helps my objective so that's definitively a positive.
Alright, so my tribe is made up of me and 10 other people. I am going to break-down everyone, my feelings for them, their current relationship status with me and what I would like to happen with them.
Tom – My AllStars knight in shining armor, as expected we are aligned. I adore this boy, not anymore in an obsessed completely crazy way, but in a genuine friendship type of relationship. I trust Tom with my whole self, I am trying not to be too naïve but I would say he is the one I trust the most. We want the Final 3 to be us two and B. At least that’s the plan for now. Tom and me are a duo and we realize most people might know this but we don’t care, when it comes to duos there’s two bigger duos in our own tribe which will be targeted before us so we are planning on keeping those targets around for a while to avoid the target ourselves. Anyways, Tom and me are good and he is my top ally.
Stephen – I adore Stephen, he is so nice and so open, he is just a great boy and I trust him for the most part. Then again, I am very weary of him because I know he wants to win at any cost and he is very very strategic, for now I’m on his good side and I think he thinks he can control me, which I would let him think for a little bit until I have to make a move to not get tossed aside. I don’t mind if he thinks of me as his in-pocket vote because that keeps the target off me for a while. We have talked about a four way alliance with Erin and Tom, very ala Megan/Taylor from Bermuda but Tom is concerned about Stephen’s whole demeanor, I suggested going with it if anything to avoid the target since they ARE a stronger and more recognizable duo so it would be good for us to cower behind them for a bit.
Erik – Erik and I are really really close outside of the game, how that translates into the game, I have no idea. But I would love to work with him because I absolutely love him, he is up there with Tom and Bridget in how much I care for him, which it’s pretty big. Before the game he told me he wasn’t going to play but we said if he somehow ended playing we would work together, so I guess that applies, we just need to talk it over and see where we stand. But I do trust Erik, I know he would do anything for his friends and he is very loyal so I’m looking forward to working with him. Concerning the Tom/Stephen/Erin alliance Tom said he wanted to work with him as well and Stephen seems fond of him as well, so I was thinking maybe he could come in as a fifth to tip the scales over for me and Tom when it comes down to five. Of course you have to also take into account Bridget also comes into play, but talking purely of the Hero tribe he would be the perfect fifth.
Erin – I adore Erin, she is so sweet and we are so similar, I can talk about anything with her and that’s really great. We are also sort of aligned, not officially but we did talk about working together. She knows I’m close with Stephen so I’m sure her and him will try and pull me in as a third maybe thinking of me as the scale tipper instead of Erik. I do trust Erin, out of the people she would be 4th behind Tom, Bridget and Erik. I really look forward to working with her.
Rob/Tucker – This boy is a huge enigma to me, many times when we talk I get the feeling he is making fun of me and at the same time I tell myself it’s probably just his sense of humor and I shouldn’t think bad about it. I like him, I really do. But I don’t trust him, at all. I feel every time he talks to me he is trying to get a good read of exactly what I’m thinking which is dangerous for the game, I want to trust him but I know I shouldn’t. I don’t want to work with him but I do want to keep him around for a little bit simply because I like him in a personal level, from a game level I find him dangerous and would be glad if he somehow got voted out earlier rather than later.
Jamie – Jamie… I draw a blank here, really. I have not really ever talked to her besides around the boards with random things, she likes Britney though so that’s something we have in common. And a Britney lover can not be all that bad, but I’m not sure, just the way she played Arabia from what I remember and how she acts around the boards makes me very “iffy” about her. I don’t want to see her last too long.
Clayton – He isn’t very active or talkative and most people have told me they don’t know him. I don’t think he will last too long. Nor do I want him to, he is a charmer and if we allow him to pass the middle point he can easily pull another win. I would like to see him go first before he can turn the charm on.
Jordan – I talked to Jordan once, he seemed nice… in a boring way. We didn’t really carry a conversation and he didn’t seem interested either, he says he likes meeting people and he knows no one besides Erik but he isn’t really trying, at least with me. I guess Erik could factor in him lasting, but I don’t have any personal goals with him nor do I mind on how he does, game-wise.
Ashley and Allan – I’m going to write about the Double A’s together, simply because even though you might want to think of them as separate entity’s you can’t, it’s dumb to do so and I won’t do it. They might say they will turn on each other and maybe they will, but can you really take that risk? Don’t get me wrong, I like both of them, especially Allan and I want him to do good but I am not going to pretend like I don’t think they are together. Regardless, I want them to stay for a bit, simply because they are the perfect duo cover for me and Tom, as long as they are in the game together they would divert the attention from me and Tom, I see this as a two or three round plan, once the clear weaker or less social players are gone we should get rid of the shield – Allan and Ashley- just to avoid them ruling over ala Hawaii.
For now, this is it. Not much is going on since we just started. I do have a couple of conversations which I would post soon, one is with Tom where we talk strategy and the other one is currently going on with Bridget where we basically just discuss the whole game, I just need to edit the personal parts out but I will have them up soon <3.
