Episode 4: At the Top of the Totem Pole

[andrew]

My position is extremely good right now. I'm in alliances with Hooker, Juice, Bridget, Jeffrey, and RB right now. In addition, I'm on Bud, Megan, and Joel's good side, so if I haven't received a vote against me yet, (hint hint Sandy, reveal the votes already!!) I probably won't for some time! As boring as my UTR approach as been so far, it has been useful at least! (that said, I probably won't ever try it again, lmao).

So time to rank my allies again, so here goes....


1. Hooker: Hooker is still number 1. We've been working together since Day 1, so it should be no surprise at all that most of the people I'm alligned with are alligned with him too. This alliance has worked out so far. It remains to be seen if the awesome alliance of Stickman and the Hooker (also a good cheap porno name) will work out in the end. All depends on my position compared to his I guess. I know I'm getting a lot of my information about what's happening from him, which worries me long term in that he could probably say he did more than me if we got to the end together. And honestly, I think he'd be right on so far! I'll have to gauge this as the game goes on.

2. Bridget: I still don't trust her entirely, but for now, she'll have to do as #2. Our new alliance with us two, Hooker, and Jeffrey will do us well for a while.

3. Juice: Juice, having lost Katy, and now with the new 4 some alliance being formed, is in a much weaker position than before. I don't trust the guy, but maybe he is being legit about wanting to work with me and Hooker. Good thing is, Stick and Hook can decide whether we want to worry about Juice or drop him out. For now, I think we should keep him around.

4. Jeffrey: I trust him the least out of our new alliance, but our one on one relationship has improved big time. Before the game began, neither of us liked the other at all. If we had had the chance to play without inacitves, odds are at least one of us would be gone right now. But that didn't happen and now we're alligned and actually getting along very well! We'll have to see where this goes, but if we were both to somehow make it to end of the game, together, that'd have to be the most surprising final 2/3 ever!

5. RB: I'm finding him less and less useful every day. I've talked to him 3 times, the only reason he's up this high is because we've actually made an alliance together, whereas Bud, Megan, and Joel, I haven't alligned with. RB is inactive and I suspect he'll be gone pretty soon. I may make sure of it.

6. Bud: Bud is still a back-door option for me. We're on good terms, and according to Hooker, he would be interested in making an alliance with me. Cool! We'll see where that leads!

7. Megan: I rarely talk strategy with her. The one very good thing about Megan is that, post merge, you KNOW she'd never jump ship, esspecially if Stephen and/of Eriin are there. That could be very useful to the Villains.

8. Joel: I don't dislike the guy, but he's definitely the next person out in my book. I feel that he really isn't that useful at the challenges, he gets provoked way too easily by the heroes/hosts, and I NEVER talk any game with him. I mean, I'm struggling to remember one time I've talked game with him.........I still can't think of anything. This game revolves around strategy, and if you aren't talking game to me at this point of the game, it's probably too late. Sorry.


So yeah, I'm feeling great about my position in the game! Hopefully we continue to win challenges for a while, and even if we do lose, Joel is an easy vote off, (Bridget and Jeffrey having both confirmed their desires to vote him out last night). Life is good for the Stickman!

Well, there are some nights in iSurv1vor where the action is slow. Then, there are nights like this one, lol.

First off, there is a big twist heading our way. A hidden immunity idol! Here's how it works, when someone is voted out, they give a clue to the idol to someone on the other tribe. So voted out heroes give clues to villains and voted out villains give clues to heroes. Easy enough.

The second big news is what threatens everything. Joel threw a HUUUUUUUUUGE pissy tonight. So I guess we weren't ansering his questions fast enough for him and he got pissy about it, seeing it as a sign that he's going out next, (which he is) and how he's gonna screw us over if we vote him out.

So basically, we were talking about who we would give clues to if we lost immunity, (why we did this, I'm not sure, it wasn't too bright of us in hindsight, lmao). We're thinking Morgan since she's probably the heroes weak link and her finding it would force them to keep her longer, hurting their tribe. So of course, Joel in his little pissy mood, is saying that if he goes, he's giving it to someone strong like Erik or Stephen, people that nobody likes on the Villains tribe.

Kinda a smart move on his part, forces us to think twice about voting him out. However, everyone's just so pissed off at him over him threatning the entire tribe that he will definitely be going home. So not so smart. It's really just him being a sore ass loser as usual. Seriously Joel? Have you ever wondered why you NEVER do well at these games? It's little stunts like this that really piss people off. This is why you'll never win at iSurv1vor, or any other online game. I know it sucks to get voted out early, but he really only made it easier on us, rather than tougher.

So I've talked to a lot of people and right now I've got me, Bridget, Megan, Hooker, Juice, Jeffrey, and RB voting him out. I'm certain Bud will be just happy with losing Joel too since I told him that Joel was after him. Sooooooo yeah, Joel is gone unanimously. It's really amazing.

Here's an iSurv1vor history lesson for anyone that's interested. WAYYYYY back in Patagonia, Joel got pissy that he was getting voted out at final 10 cause his tribe was just down numbers. So he tries to fuck the game up, attacks everyone in the game, and just is a complete douchebag. Well, at the time, it was easily the quickest a tribe had ever truly united against one individual ever in iSurv1vor history. This little stunt he just pulled off might have done an even better job at getting himself voted out.

If we lose, Joel is obviously gonna try to get the Heroes to give him the idol. If that happens, we're gonna have to work around it. Which, being the smart guy I am, I'll figure it out soon enough. I kinda think Morgan will go home if the Heroes lose. Bridget and I both feel like she will give one of us the clue, more likely Bridget, but I could be an outside possibility. Obviously, since we want our alliance to have the idol, we will share the clues and try to find it together. So we're gonna have to hope Miss Morgan goes soon. That or if we lose, get rid of Joel's little baby ass.

The plot thickens as always here in iSurv1vor: The Soap Opera.

So a couple notes to make. First off, Joel has now apologized for being a douchebag last night. Good for him to actually go out and do it. Too bad he already dug his grave 20 feet deep, otherwise this action might have actually meant something. Fact is, you can't lose your cool in these games. If you do, votes tend to be a'coming at you.

Anyway, in other news that actually means something to me, I've talked to Morgan about the Hidden Immunity Idol. I figure she is probably next to go home, since she's been busy as hell and not as active as usual. So I figured if I talked to her about the idol, MAYBE, just MAYBE, she might actually give me the clue if she gets voted out, (although the odds are so slim, it's not really worth hyping about).



So get this! I'm the first person to tell Morgan about this twist. Think about that for a second. The guy who screwed her over in Egypt, a guy on THE OTHER FREAKING TRIBE, is the only person that's been nice enough to let her know about this twist.

HER OWN FUCKING TRIBE WON'T LET HER IN ON THIS TWIST!!!! LMAO, LMAO, LMAO, LMAO, LMAO!!!!! I fucking love this! How arrogant can this tribe be? They know they are safe, so let's not even let poor Morgan know that there's an idol in this game! LMAO!! How...........heroic? Yeah, they suck monkey nuts.


I think them not telling her about the idol is a clear sign that she's next to go home. If she does, the clue probably goes to Bridget or me, (Bridget 95%, Andrew 2%, Morgan giving nobody clues 3%)

If I do get the clue, I won't tell anyone about it, not for a little while anyway. I'll try to find the fucker myself. If I can't find it, (or if I do and people are asking about me possibly getting a clue), then I'll probably only let Bridget in on it, and that's only because we've agreed to help each other look for it. I won't even tell Hooker about it, I need to keep a secret or two from him anyway.
