Round 2 Confessionals

[RB]

Torah got the boot last right. I think Torah getting the boot would have left me in a good position but right now I think I've jeopardized my position. Not because Torah left or anything...just by my own lazyness/stupidity. I got a PM from Bud that was actually dated the 11th asking if I was ever on AIM anymore lol. Today is the 13th.

So basically my tribe probably thinks I'm inactive. I'm pretty sure I can convince them all to boot Katy over me though if we lose again. Today I guess I've gotta hang out on AIM.

I'm not picking up on anything though when I talk to people on AIM. No one is giving me much insight to strategy. I'm not aware of any relationships that are going on. I guess that's the point. People don't want their alliances and allegiances known. But people have become too good at this game. It's used to be easy because people would approach you and be like "You should ally with me and ___" and so you knew they were a pair rofl.

Anyways, I'm starting my whole day of being online right now. Bridget is on now so I'll chat it up with her.

Fun stuff **eyeroll** I just want to play the damn game and I'm all about the strategy of the game. I know I should realize the social is part of it but sometimes it is too much to worry about.

And I read yesterday in another game forum that just ended in someone's confessional that I'm all about strategy. I don't know how to cool it though. If you don't talk strategy with people then they think you don't want to. If you do...then they think you're too strategic and that you're a threat. How do I obtain a fine balance? BLEH. If I could win this game...it'd be amazing. It is my goal to make it past the F8-F6 area.

Baby steps I guess. Right now I suppose my goal should be merge/jury.

Round 2 begins. Looks like our tribe is all available at some point tonight for the challenge. Hopefully the Heroes have a tougher time getting everyone online. We need to win this one.

Sooo all my plans are pretty much shot to shit. Joel is a power hungry bastard who wants everyone to be close to him. I mean, who doesn't? But his interests are not in my best interests at all. He wants Bud to go after Katy leaves. I don't really want that. I don't think there is anything I can do to stop it though. If Joel is telling the truth about other people feeling the same about Bud I am not going to stick my neck out for him. Joel is my F2 afterall so I have to stick with him.

If Joel is gaining all this power on the tribe I have to stay on his good side. And why wouldn't I?

Well..reason number one why I wouldn't...he's a greedy power hungry bastard

Y'know, I just gotta work on my relations in this tribe I guess. Joel is too secretive. He's only got his own back and not mine.

I don't know how I am going to improve my standing with people. Too many of these suckers are hard to talk to. I guess I talk with Bridget the most and I doubt she really will have my back over other people. She has the most connections in this game.

Maybe I need to start working on that. I'm just afraid I'm too late and I let my opportunity pass me by. I might just ask her later lol.

If I'm losing one F2 (Bud) eventually then I will need another to replace it afterall.

Standings in the tribe...

Joel - Close to myself, Hooker, Bridget, Juice, (anyone else???)
Bud - Close to myself, Hooker, Jeffrey, (anyone else???)
Juice - Close to Katy, Joel, Megan???, (anyone else???)

And I'm not gonna attempt any more because I'd be guessing. Need to do more detective work.

Ranking of my tribemates...

1. Joel
2. Bridget
3. Bud
4. Megan
5. Jeffrey/Hooker
7. Stickman
8. Katy

Oh yah, another rant about Joel. I tried to tell Joel that we should boot Katy and then Stickman or Juice and then Bud and he told me he'd consider it but later in the convo he was already back to saying Bud after Katy. Fucking prick won't listen to me. I am pissed.

Well we lost but the vote is going to be extremely easy. And I'm no longer worried about my position. Two people I wanted to leave are going to have been the ones to leave. Torah is gone, Katy is following her into the Loser's Lounge this tribal council. My position keeps improving and my stock keeps going up in this tribe.

Stickman approached me last night and said he wants to work with me. Hooker also approached me last night and said he wants to work with me and threw out the term alliance.

So I think I'm probably one of the best situated people in the game right now. I'm doing my best to remain neutral and I'm doing my best to stay on the good side of everyone on my tribe. I'm playing all sides and I'm hoping I don't get caught. I very well could though and that's worrysome.

I don't think that people are going to flat out go around and tell others that they've made a deal with me so I don't think it is going to be spread around yet that I'm allying with everyone.

Because let's face it...I'm allied with everyone on the tribe now except for Katy and Juice.

Let's add some more to my evergrowing relations list. This is what we had before...

Joel - Close to myself, Hooker, Bridget, Juice, (anyone else???)
Bud - Close to myself, Hooker, Jeffrey, (anyone else???)
Juice - Close to Katy, Joel, Megan???, (anyone else???)

Now let's add to it...

Joel - Close to myself, Hooker, Bridget, Juice, (anyone else???)
Joel - Against Bud, Stickman, Jeffrey
Bud - Close to myself, Hooker, Jeffrey, (anyone else???)
Bud - Against Joel
Juice - Close to Katy, Joel, Megan???, (anyone else???)
Stickman - Close to Katy, Juice
Stickman - Against Joel, Jeffrey
Hooker - Close to Bud, Joel, Bridget
Jeffrey - Close to Myself, Bud
Jeffrey - Against Joel

So I mean looking at that list helps me out a lot. I think Joel might actually be mistaken in the supposed support he has to take out Bud next. I think Joel could actually get the boot.

I might have to support that.

I'm worried that Andrew might hear that I wanted him out. I hadn't really talked to him. But now he wants to work with me and I do get along with him I guess. We don't exactly have fluid convos but we had an okay convo yesterday when we approached me about working with me and I think he was honest in everything he said.

It's tough. I'll have to stay on my toes going into next round. I don't think anyone will come after me but I need to make sure the correct person gets the boot.

A few people have named Jeffrey and I don't want that. Joel and Bud seem to be other targets. If Joel leaves...I might be able to get rid of Juice after that. Sad to say. Oh well, now is not the time for F2 deals. It's still really early and it's clear Joel and I will not be on the same side.

Anyways...time to go cast my tribal vote

Fuck, I accidentally uploaded my video vote and parchment to tinypic without being logged in. Now there is some random video of me on the internet that I have no control over lolol.
