WEEK 8 - Fancy a Sagar?

[Adrian]

Finally - the only person I left in this game that I have yet to meet comes online after a full day.

He seemed nice, but I got the feeling he was very guarded around me. I don't think I can trust him at all. He comes across as very sneaky.

I knew he was going to be a smart foe...

[11/26/2012 9:13:31 PM] Sagar: kind of a struggle
[11/26/2012 9:13:37 PM] Sagar: had an early flight back to school this morning
[11/26/2012 9:13:44 PM] Sagar: so i'm running on coffee right now haha
[11/26/2012 9:14:00 PM] Sagar: and i'm not done with class until 5 pm

[11/26/2012 9:14:18 PM] Sagar: where are you from again?

[11/26/2012 9:14:45 PM] Sagar: oh wow
[11/26/2012 9:14:50 PM] Adrian John Dias: What is the time there now?
[11/26/2012 9:14:52 PM] Sagar: that's amazing! i've always wanted to visit

[11/26/2012 9:15:47 PM] Adrian John Dias: You should totally come visit. The weather is great and it much better here for tourists than it is for the people who live here
[11/26/2012 9:16:12 PM] Sagar: hahaha
[11/26/2012 9:16:20 PM] Sagar: yeah i'm planning on working somewhere in africa next summer
[11/26/2012 9:16:26 PM] Sagar: i don't know about south africa, but maybe!
[11/26/2012 9:16:46 PM] Sagar: wherever i can find an internship
[11/26/2012 9:17:51 PM] Adrian John Dias: What do you do?
[11/26/2012 9:18:02 PM] Sagar: well i'm in college
[11/26/2012 9:18:11 PM] Sagar: but i want to do something global health related over my summer break
[11/26/2012 9:18:23 PM] Sagar: work for an NGO or something
[11/26/2012 9:18:37 PM] Adrian John Dias: Trust me, the only African countries worth going to are SA, Namibia and Mozambique
[11/26/2012 9:18:41 PM] Adrian John Dias: That is awesome
[11/26/2012 9:18:47 PM] Sagar: oh why's that?
[11/26/2012 9:18:57 PM] Sagar: i've never even considered namibia or mozambique haha
[11/26/2012 9:19:09 PM] Adrian John Dias: Everywhere else sucks and is very empoverished
[11/26/2012 9:19:40 PM] Adrian John Dias: The three I mentioned are still 3rd world, but very civilized and SA has great people and a great student life
[11/26/2012 9:20:01 PM] Sagar: ah i see
[11/26/2012 9:20:12 PM] Sagar: well i mean, that's not the biggest concern to me
[11/26/2012 9:20:19 PM] Sagar: i want to go wherever the most help is needed haha
[11/26/2012 9:20:32 PM] Sagar: what do you do?
[11/26/2012 9:22:14 PM] Adrian John Dias: I run my own buisness with friends
[11/26/2012 9:22:44 PM] Adrian John Dias: we build websites, do online advertising and SEO, 3-D and 2-D design, custom software and way more
[11/26/2012 9:23:03 PM] Adrian John Dias: we are actually using the business to fund our true dream: making games
[11/26/2012 9:23:29 PM] Adrian John Dias: we are halfway through making an endless runner game for apple and android devices as a means to test the markets
[11/26/2012 9:23:41 PM] Sagar: wow that's amazing!!
[11/26/2012 9:23:52 PM] Sagar: that sounds like a really fun job
[11/26/2012 9:24:12 PM] Sagar: maybe you could make a survivor game
[11/26/2012 9:25:03 PM] Sagar: idk how much you talked to hash when he was on your tribe, but he does something similar
[11/26/2012 9:27:53 PM] Adrian John Dias: I talked to him quite a lot
[11/26/2012 9:28:09 PM] Adrian John Dias: We got along really well, but we never got into the whole work thing
[11/26/2012 9:28:37 PM] Adrian John Dias: He also became very quiet and dismissive after the double elimination challenge was announced
[11/26/2012 9:29:14 PM] Adrian John Dias: I think he didn't really feel comfortable talking to someone he was going to try and eliminate
[11/26/2012 9:29:22 PM] Sagar: LOL yeah i can imagine
[11/26/2012 9:29:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: Don't blame him.
[11/26/2012 9:29:45 PM] Sagar: yeah
[11/26/2012 9:30:02 PM] Sagar: i mean it was kind of obvious when the tribes swapped that there was a divide between kwele/mbochi
[11/26/2012 9:30:13 PM] Sagar: but i tried to not let that interfere with just regular conversation
[11/26/2012 9:30:28 PM] Sagar: like just because you're against someone doesn't mean you have to completely shun them
[11/26/2012 9:31:55 PM] Sagar: oh like when i tried apologizing to jeb after the vote since i fucked him over
[11/26/2012 9:32:08 PM] Sagar: he told me to "shut the fuck up" etc. etc.
[11/26/2012 9:32:12 PM] Sagar: so ridiculous and unnecessary
[11/26/2012 9:32:18 PM] Sagar: but idk, i'm just ranting lol
[11/26/2012 9:32:39 PM] Adrian John Dias: I never liked him tbh
[11/26/2012 9:32:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: Him and Kim gave me a bad vibe
[11/26/2012 9:32:53 PM] Sagar: lol yup
[11/26/2012 9:32:59 PM] Sagar: that's why i voted kim out lol
[11/26/2012 9:33:05 PM] Adrian John Dias: Brandon was the antichrist as well, dude
[11/26/2012 9:33:07 PM] Adrian John Dias: wow
[11/26/2012 9:33:11 PM] Sagar: yeah LOL i heard that from dave
[11/26/2012 9:33:36 PM] Adrian John Dias: I am glad the horrible people are gone
[11/26/2012 9:33:56 PM] Sagar: yeah seriously
[11/26/2012 9:34:02 PM] Sagar: as much as i love drama, it's kind of a pain
[11/26/2012 9:34:06 PM] Sagar: but everyone left is nice
[11/26/2012 9:34:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: you're the only person I have not met yet and you seem pretty cool so far, so this is a great group of people we have at this merge and the tribe name is very appropriate
[11/26/2012 9:36:07 PM] Sagar: agreed!
[11/26/2012 9:37:53 PM] Adrian John Dias: So, what kind of hobbies you into?
[11/26/2012 9:38:02 PM] Adrian John Dias: I wanna get to know more about you
[11/26/2012 9:39:27 PM] Sagar: ummmmmmmmmm
[11/26/2012 9:39:35 PM] Sagar: i'm not talented at anything really LOL
[11/26/2012 9:39:39 PM] Sagar: but i guess in terms of hobbies
[11/26/2012 9:39:43 PM] Sagar: i watch a lot of TV haha
[11/26/2012 9:39:44 PM] Sagar: i'm good at that
[11/26/2012 9:39:47 PM] Sagar: what about you?
[11/26/2012 9:40:27 PM] Adrian John Dias:
[11/26/2012 9:41:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: I play a lot of sports that you guys in the states would find obscure - cricket, rugby, wing tsun kung-fu, sandboarding, soccer
[11/26/2012 9:41:18 PM] Adrian John Dias: I play drums and write songs
[11/26/2012 9:41:30 PM] Adrian John Dias: I draw and pain comic-style art
[11/26/2012 9:41:46 PM] Sagar: holy fuck
[11/26/2012 9:41:50 PM] Sagar: i suck at everything
[11/26/2012 9:41:53 PM] Sagar: that's impressive haha
[11/26/2012 9:42:06 PM] Adrian John Dias: I am starting my amateur stand-up comedy foray next year too
[11/26/2012 9:42:11 PM] Adrian John Dias: thanks
[11/26/2012 9:42:26 PM] Sagar: i'm good at doing nothing for like 12 hours at a time
[11/26/2012 9:42:31 PM] Adrian John Dias: I'm sure there are things you're awesome at but are just being modest about
[11/26/2012 9:42:42 PM] Sagar: LOL maybe
[11/26/2012 9:42:52 PM] Sagar: who knows? i haven't tried like 95% of the things you just listed
[11/26/2012 9:43:08 PM] Sagar: maybe i'm the world's best sandboarder and i don't know it!
[11/26/2012 9:43:09 PM] Sagar: lmfao
[11/26/2012 9:45:31 PM] Sagar: idk, i also feel like it's a cultural thing
[11/26/2012 9:45:38 PM] Sagar: i don't know anyone here who is that involved in so many things
[11/26/2012 9:45:59 PM] Sagar: but i'm sure there's a much more sporty vibe in south africa, if that makes any sense
[11/26/2012 9:46:14 PM] Sagar: whereas all we do here is eat and watch reality television and feel bad about ourselves
[11/26/2012 9:47:23 PM] Adrian John Dias:
[11/26/2012 9:47:32 PM] Adrian John Dias: I have many other interests too
[11/26/2012 9:47:39 PM] Adrian John Dias: I am actually a huge nerd
[11/26/2012 9:47:59 PM] Adrian John Dias: I was just blessed with a loin-cloth friendly physique
[11/26/2012 9:48:01 PM] Adrian John Dias:
[11/26/2012 9:48:20 PM] Sagar: LOL
[11/26/2012 9:48:41 PM] Sagar: Contact received from Sagar
[11/26/2012 9:48:45 PM] Sagar: oopa
[11/26/2012 9:48:49 PM] Sagar: oops*
[11/26/2012 9:48:50 PM] Adrian John Dias: I have just always enjoyed trying new things, and then trying them until I was good at them
[11/26/2012 9:48:52 PM] Sagar: idk how that happened lol
[11/26/2012 9:49:01 PM] Adrian John Dias: ha ha
[11/26/2012 9:49:11 PM] Sagar: yeah i guess i don't really explore and try new things
[11/26/2012 9:49:28 PM] Sagar: which is my biggest problem
[11/26/2012 9:50:17 PM] Sagar: is survivor popular in south africa?
[11/26/2012 9:51:38 PM] Adrian John Dias: 50/50
[11/26/2012 9:51:51 PM] Adrian John Dias: Not many of my friends enjoy it
[11/26/2012 9:51:58 PM] Adrian John Dias: but it is still going strong
[11/26/2012 9:52:15 PM] Adrian John Dias: there is enough of a demand for it scattered around
[11/26/2012 9:52:22 PM] Sagar: ah i see
[11/26/2012 9:52:37 PM] Sagar: yeah i feel like over here there's really just a niche group of people who religiously watch it
[11/26/2012 9:52:47 PM] Sagar: but i don't really know anyone IRL who watches it, which sucks
[11/26/2012 9:52:59 PM] Sagar: but obviously there's a big following what with all the people playing these games
[11/26/2012 9:55:03 PM] Adrian John Dias: There is a huge one!
[11/26/2012 9:55:20 PM] Adrian John Dias: 10 million viewers weekly in the states alone says it all
[11/26/2012 9:55:45 PM] Adrian John Dias: People have told me that they would watch it and/or our local version if I ever get on
[11/26/2012 9:55:52 PM] Adrian John Dias: That's why I am here
[11/26/2012 9:56:21 PM] Adrian John Dias: To see if I have what it takes in the more strategic/social side that the internet ORG's offer
[11/26/2012 9:56:30 PM] Adrian John Dias: This is my 1st ever ORG
[11/26/2012 9:56:36 PM] Adrian John Dias: You played any before?
[11/26/2012 9:56:44 PM] Sagar: oh wow nice!
[11/26/2012 9:56:56 PM] Sagar: and i'm relatively new as well, i just discovered these over the summer
[11/26/2012 9:57:03 PM] Sagar: this is my 4th one
[11/26/2012 9:58:15 PM] Sagar: still haven't won any yet!
[11/26/2012 10:00:31 PM] Adrian John Dias: I would totally say, this could be your first, but I'm here to try and do the same thing
[11/26/2012 10:01:02 PM] Adrian John Dias: I will say that to you if I get voted out at some point and you're still ninj-ing your way around
[11/26/2012 10:01:17 PM] Sagar: LOL
[11/26/2012 10:01:32 PM] Sagar: i'm not too confident about that haha
[11/26/2012 10:01:36 PM] Sagar: but we'll see what happens
[11/26/2012 10:02:00 PM] Sagar: winning your first one would be quite impressive though
[11/26/2012 10:06:21 PM] Adrian John Dias: It really would!
[11/26/2012 10:06:32 PM] Adrian John Dias: Also, who knows what may happen in the game
[11/26/2012 10:06:44 PM] Adrian John Dias: Don't give up hope
[11/26/2012 10:07:05 PM] Adrian John Dias: I am also not too sure I will win this, but I am gonna try my best
[11/26/2012 10:07:22 PM] Adrian John Dias: Nobody wants to be a JEB and pussy out
[11/26/2012 10:11:12 PM] Sagar: yeah that was just embarrassing
[11/26/2012 10:13:29 PM] Adrian John Dias:
