Today, I could feel my frustration creeping in a little more. It feels like all hope is lost when you're on the outs and nobody comes to you. I know that this is exactly what Brandon must have felt like, but instead of blowing up at people and trying to threaten them, I will apply the gentleman's approach.
I tried to approach Chris today, but he is either playing the game so well that he is making himself look non threatening, or he is not playing this game at all.
He was reluctant to also say anything that might land him in hot water, which makes me think that maybe he was just indulging me.
Too bad, Chris. This was your one chance to do something big in this game...
Here is my chat with him:
[4:34:00 PM] Adrian John Dias: Hey, Chris
[4:34:06 PM] Adrian John Dias: What's happening?
[4:44:04 PM] chris brown: hey! what's up?
[4:45:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: Not much. Just had a great nap so that I can be up later than usual to be able to chat to you guys more.
[4:45:34 PM] Adrian John Dias: How is your day going?
[4:46:41 PM] chris brown: awww, awesome! it's pretty good, just relaxing and enjoying family.. i may go out to shop in a little bit. how was your day?
[4:47:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: Mine was busy as usual, but I bossed shit and got it all done
[4:47:21 PM] Adrian John Dias: That is whay I was able to grab a nap
[4:47:30 PM] Adrian John Dias: I feel great for a change
[4:47:34 PM] Adrian John Dias: \o/
[4:47:37 PM] chris brown: lmaoooo <3
[4:48:07 PM] Adrian John Dias: Hey, I wanted to just see where your head is at on the vote as well.
[4:48:24 PM] Adrian John Dias: It is pretty obvious that Ryan and myself are in a bind
[4:48:38 PM] chris brown: same here... i've been looking for you to talk about it.
[4:49:23 PM] chris brown: this challenge was totally random, so we have no idea who is going to win immunity.
[4:50:30 PM] Adrian John Dias: It is a BS challenge to have right after a tribe swap and in conjunction with a double elimination.
[4:50:55 PM] Adrian John Dias: Nobody has really come to me about the vote at all
[4:51:16 PM] Adrian John Dias: So, I am guessing it is safe to say that you guys are pretty tight together, right?
[4:51:33 PM] chris brown: i haven't thought about it yet, honestly. i mean, it's obvious that there are 4 old kwele and 2 old mbochi members, but there are idols, so it's not that cut and dry.
[4:51:46 PM] Adrian John Dias: Exactly
[4:52:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: That is why if Ryan and I play our idols one of you guys would go instead, unless he/she played an idol
[4:52:53 PM] Adrian John Dias: I just want to know if there is anyone on this tribe you feel you could do without at a merge
[4:53:26 PM] Adrian John Dias: That way, we keep it civil
[4:55:01 PM] chris brown: I mean, I never thought about it a lot until now, and I figured you guys had your own thoughts from your perspective. I'm curious to see what you think. I don't really have anything negative to say about anyone persay, but I'm more or less curious to see what you think.
[4:55:32 PM] Adrian John Dias: Well, I haven't had that much time to get to know you guys
[4:55:37 PM] Adrian John Dias: And I have been trying
[4:55:54 PM] Adrian John Dias: Just so that I could see if there was anyone I would campaign to get out
[4:55:58 PM] Adrian John Dias: But there isn't
[4:56:09 PM] Adrian John Dias: You guys are all so nice and fun
[4:56:18 PM] Adrian John Dias: That is no BS
[4:56:32 PM] Adrian John Dias: I have not had a bad impression of any of you
[4:56:34 PM] Adrian John Dias: But
[4:56:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: With this double elimination, that means 6 are gone
[4:57:01 PM] Adrian John Dias: We will probably merge next
[4:57:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: How good do you think your chances are going up against Hash in individual immunity?
[4:57:47 PM] chris brown: my chances, very slim - i don't know if you could tell or not, but i suuuck at challenges lol
[4:58:49 PM] chris brown: i mean, strategically, for everyone, it would seem that we would have a better chance to each win individual challenge without a challenge whore, you know?
[4:59:33 PM] Adrian John Dias: So, if you give me the word, I will talk with Ryan and we can maybe work on voting Hash
[4:59:56 PM] Adrian John Dias: Are you in an alliance with him at all, or are you with others?
[5:01:42 PM] chris brown: nah, i don't really think a lot about strategy when it's not necessary, so because we were winning so much, i really just kept things light and joked around a lot.
[5:01:53 PM] chris brown: this is really the first time i've had to think about strategic.
[5:02:29 PM] chris brown: but i guess if i was being strategic, it would probably make the most sense to me. targeting hash, that is.
[5:03:11 PM] Adrian John Dias: That is what I was thinking
[5:03:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: I like him a lot, but I am just spitballing ideas
[5:03:37 PM] Adrian John Dias: If you think of anything else, please let me know
[5:04:09 PM] chris brown: i def will! the game has officially started now...
[5:04:38 PM] chris brown: the old mbochi was pretty unified once brandon was voted out, right?
[5:04:53 PM] Adrian John Dias: Well, kinda
[5:05:02 PM] Adrian John Dias: We all had a common enemy
[5:05:14 PM] Adrian John Dias: We had no idea where it was going to go after that
[5:05:40 PM] Adrian John Dias: We all relly agreed to get together and vote him out, but our votes were all chaotic
[5:06:12 PM] chris brown: i feel like the crazy thing is, no matter how unified you may feel you are, there is always someone that feels they are at the bottom.
[5:06:55 PM] chris brown: i like to surround myself with people that i genuinely like as people, espec. when the game becomes individual, which i guess is why i don't usually make it super far after merge in these games.
[5:07:53 PM] Adrian John Dias: I am also worried that the guys on the other tribe have new made alliances with members of the old Kwele
[5:08:12 PM] Adrian John Dias: I never really got to know Joe well, so I don't know what he is doing over there
[5:08:30 PM] Adrian John Dias: He could be going to anyone
[5:09:03 PM] Adrian John Dias: The reason why Brandon thought myself and Tomas were running the game is because we backed out of an alliance with him
[5:09:28 PM] Adrian John Dias: We found out he has played with people on Kwele and was going to turn on us all at the merge
[5:09:53 PM] Adrian John Dias: Add to the fact he did nothing in the first challenge and wanted to vote for people who helped
[5:10:11 PM] Adrian John Dias: So then we all of a sudden became Hitlers
[5:10:23 PM] chris brown: ohhh, that's good to know. i've been meaning to ask you all about that.
[5:10:45 PM] chris brown: from our perspective, we could only go on what he was saying, so it seemed like you and tomas were running the game or something.
[5:11:07 PM] Adrian John Dias: Go and read our tribals, dude
[5:11:29 PM] Adrian John Dias: It is impossible for 2 people to run the game of 6
[5:11:48 PM] Adrian John Dias: Everyone has a mind of their own
[5:12:03 PM] chris brown: yeah, i understand completely. i don't judge people on what others say, i try to take the time to get to know people individually and go from there.
[5:12:49 PM] chris brown: you seem like a good guy and i respect that you came to me and wanted to do things diplomaticly since this is such a good group..
[5:17:27 PM] chris brown: all i know is that i really don't want to go. i've have truly enjoyed my time in the game so far and want to continue to play.
[5:17:33 PM] chris brown: as i am sure you do too
[5:17:46 PM] Adrian John Dias: I really do
[5:17:53 PM] Adrian John Dias: I at least want to make the jury
[5:18:18 PM] Adrian John Dias: I am glad you respect me coming up to you straight forwardly
[5:18:26 PM] Adrian John Dias: it was how i did things before
[5:24:45 PM] chris brown: that's how i feel.. i'd at least like to make the jury too.
[5:25:09 PM] chris brown: i'll try to keep you in the loop if anything new develops, but at this point most of the power seems to be in you and ryan's hands.
[5:26:13 PM] chris brown: it would be nice to know what you guys decide to do or at least where your heads are when you have a better grasp on things.
[5:26:57 PM] Adrian John Dias: I shall let you know if I make up my mind.
[5:27:02 PM] Adrian John Dias: Thanks for the chat
[5:27:13 PM] Adrian John Dias: I don't wanna keep you too long
[5:27:33 PM] Adrian John Dias: Thanks especially for making a hard topic as pleasant as it can be
[5:32:16 PM] chris brown: no problem! i'll ttyl <3
[5:32:27 PM] Adrian John Dias: Enjoy
