episode six - "it was good while it lasted"

[Sam]

I must be pretty bad at this Survivor thing haha. I am always out either 10th/9th or 6th, and this time looks to be no exception. Really crappy luck there on all sides. There's pretty much no shot now of winning. I always end up in the tribal minority despite my best efforts. =/


Hash leaving was the 2nd worst event that could have happened, other than me going. Quickly, Hash is a great guy with passion, intensity, and know how. He's really smart and fun to talk to too.

He just needs to learn that Survivor is far more fluid than you think and don't throw all your eggs into one basket on Day 16 of a 39 day game. Using an idol on someone else is rarely a good idea, and in this situation, was especially moronic. The very least he could have done was tell me he was going to do it so I actually voted Quanz. Or just voted Quanz like he said he would. Or actually voted when he said he did. Or just used the idol on himself like a normal person. Or gotten our group to vote 2-2 instead of listening to Renee's idiotic 4-0 Adrian plan. The possibilities are endless.

In one way, I'm thankful that his stupidity caused him HIS game NOW instead of MY game LATER, but...

Now that I have pretty much zero chance lol, it probably would have been better to be voted out. However, I can say that my fabulous black ass got by this TC without a single vote against me. <3 without using my idol <3


Maybe Sagar will go before me and maybe Renee will quit too. Come to think of it, ALL of Renee's allies either left or betrayed her this round haha. But that just means she might jump straight into Mbochi's corner.


This is all kinda pointless to think about because I really have almost no shot. And I'm kind of tired of playing the minority-tribe-at-merge game, I've done that so many times, and it's a ton of effort for very little reward. Sometimes I can make it quite far but I don't win. So I'm having difficulty seeing the point atm.

I just have to make the most of a bad situation I guess.

apparently, Ryan's no-idol play was because he just forgot lol. how is it that the most 'brilliant' move of the round could happen as a result of that.


only in a game with idols, my friend.

[Sam]

Okay, I am going to give a more personality focused post for this one, as we do have some crazy characters in this game lol. It's just sad because last round a LOT of them went out the door! What craziness.


Hash was nuts lol. Way too obsessed. Guy needs to take a chill pill. I mean even for newbies he was waaaaaaaaay too into things. All the rule breaking and arguments with hosts and all that crap. Did I tell you he wanted to Skype up Adrian minutes before the vote and demand that Adrian use ScreenShare, so he could physically see Adrian's confessional vote?

Wacky.

He was kind of fun to talk to though. And came up with some good plans. If only he didn't keep me in the dark and told me everything like I (pretty much) told him everything, it would have been all good. His one tiny little mistake cost himself the game.

Kim told me she's in eight facebook games at once. That's nuts. I hope she enjoys her other eight.

JEB is a petulant child. It is beyond absurd for him to quit the game because his fag hag/lover got axed. How ridiculous. Hopefully he grows up soon. I've seen 50 of those types of people and most of them do grow up, but some don't, so let's hope he doesn't end up like Jake Valentine.


That destroyed my game and basically I have no power now.

Adrian is nice and a good game player. He was a bit intense last round but he HAD to be to survive... so good on him. I hope he does well.

Dave is very nice and friendly and you can't fault that. I'm just jealous because he's in a better position than I am haha. What is with me and being in the minority group for merge the last 4 times??? sigh.

I don't know Tomas but people say he is rarely around and doesn't have an idol.

Ryan is just a typical 15 year old. It's kind of boring to talk about because there's a not a lot interesting there. If it is true that he forgot to use his idol, that's pretty hilarious though. I think he'll do fine and coast to final five or four then get blindsided. We might be able to use him before then though, who knows.

And I just met Joe, but people say "he's on the outs" whatever that means.

Oh and Renee, who is nice and all. I guess she is just getting used from the difference between facebook and proboard games. I feel a little bad for trying to get her out but she did lie day 1 to Sagar which is pretty wacky. I'm not talking to Renee right now lol. Maybe later. She plays the game a lot too.

[Sam]

So strategy wise, I don't have much.


I think the other group will be splitting their votes between one of me/Chris and Renee. Renee just to be safe. It might be more me then Chris.

I'm 99% using my idol tonight. I don't know if Chris will or not. I think Renee will end up being voted out.

I want to scare out idols from Adrian, Jose, or Dave, but that's hard. My allies aren't really willing to outright lie and say we are voting for one of them lol. Plus there's the Renee black hole they could throw votes down and be safe.


I'm terrible at guessing, so if I had to guess I would say me/Chris are using idols and Renee will be voted out.

Any other old Mbochi would be a plus but the odds of that are slim.

I don't really have a lot I can do this round because I have no power. I tried to get into people's ear and tell them that other people didn't like them or wanted them out. Even if they don't believe it it plants a seed. The hard part is that I don't have relationships with 4 of the other 8 people in this game such that they will believe me when I say stuff like that. Especially in a game with all idols, you need those individual relationships. That's my biggest barrier there right now.

Tomas / Joe / Dave - no relationship
Renee - lied to her last round

and I have no majority alliance. I have an alliance with Chris and Sagar but that only makes me look threatening.
