| Round 2 has started. Nothing new has developed, and I'm currently working on the challenge and deciding what extent I should participate in this. | |

| Chat with CamBrant (1:05:38 AM): You still around? Cam (1:05:43 AM): yah sup Brant (1:06:09 AM): I was just going to say that I've stumbled across some websites with like hundreds and hundreds of images. Cam (1:06:21 AM): i found a decent one too lol Cam (1:06:34 AM): http://candy-crate.stores.yahoo.net/index.html Cam (1:06:36 AM): what's yours? Brant (1:06:38 AM): (I also edited my list again putting everything in abc order) Brant (1:06:46 AM): To help prevent duplicates Cam (1:06:50 AM): oh lol Cam (1:06:50 AM): k Brant (1:06:54 AM): So the stuff at the bottom isn't necessarily new Brant (1:06:56 AM): Mine is... Brant (1:07:25 AM): http://www.cybercandy.co.uk/aaasmt/ Cam (1:07:26 AM): fixed your list on the OP Cam (1:07:28 AM): ok Brant (1:07:29 AM): ty Cam (1:07:42 AM): bacon gumballs? eww Brant (1:07:59 AM): Like there are different categories and amazingness. Doug said all that stuff, even if it was ridiculous, would still count Brant (1:07:59 AM): rofl Brant (1:08:18 AM): Plus I looked up Cadbury products on Wikipedia and found a list of a few hundred items Cam (1:08:20 AM): yeah haha, i asked him about my "adult" candy, and he said it counted as long as it had a clear label! Cam (1:08:30 AM): oh nice Brant (1:08:36 AM): hahah Cam (1:08:40 AM): yeah there's certainly no shortage of candy out there Brant (1:08:46 AM): It's just a question of how much we need to do to win Cam (1:08:50 AM): it's just a question of taking the time to post all the pics Cam (1:08:54 AM): YES Brant (1:08:54 AM): Exactly Cam (1:08:55 AM): lol Cam (1:09:04 AM): i love how we just said the exact same thing Cam (1:09:10 AM): great minds lol Brant (1:09:11 AM): Rofl, yes. Brant (1:09:35 AM): Yeah I was trying to find a more efficient way than copy and paste the image URL, type the label name. It's just so time consuming. Cam (1:09:44 AM): yeah i know Brant (1:09:49 AM): I don't really know how else to do it than just manually do everything for hours Cam (1:09:59 AM): i don't know of any other way Brant (1:10:13 AM): I think I'm done for tonight because I'm tired, slow, and inefficient. But tomorrow, I think I should do a whole lot more than tonight. Cam (1:10:27 AM): yeah, i have plans tomorrow unfortunately Cam (1:10:36 AM): i'll be gone from around 2pm until after the deadline Cam (1:10:46 AM): seeing a movie, and going to dinner Brant (1:11:06 AM): Yeah, well, if you have plans, that's completely understandable Cam (1:11:11 AM): :-P Brant (1:11:21 AM): (and gives me a greater chance at that glass elevator :-P) Cam (1:11:25 AM): bwahaha Cam (1:11:41 AM): i wonder if it's immunity again, or something else Brant (1:11:53 AM): Yeah idk. I expect that most people are going to post like 20 items max and that we're going to have a hard time winning. I'm just debating if I should go insane with hundreds or not. Cam (1:12:26 AM): lmao Cam (1:12:28 AM): up to you Cam (1:12:32 AM): i think deetster will go nuts Brant (1:12:49 AM): I think it's probably immunity again plus I'm guessing the glass elevator has prizes like immunity idols Cam (1:12:52 AM): he (and others) tried really hard last challenge even though we still smoked em Brant (1:12:55 AM): Maybe one or two other things Cam (1:13:06 AM): perhaps Brant (1:13:20 AM): Yeah, I think Deetster and H-tribe will do really well. Brant (1:13:24 AM): Try hard Cam (1:13:27 AM): yah Brant (1:13:37 AM): I'm saying they'll try hard not that you should try hard lol Brant (1:13:40 AM): But yeah Cam (1:13:49 AM): yeah i got what you were saying lol Brant (1:15:10 AM): So who knows. But if I don't talk to you in the morning, enjoy your day. I think I will probably go fairly crazy and aim for the prize, but I don't think it's really a pressure situation since I don't think most people will post many. Who knows. Brant (1:15:30 AM): My typing is horrible right now; I'm tired Brant (1:15:58 AM): If anything, the person who wins will just be targeted at some point for being a threat anyway. Blah. Cam (1:16:00 AM): yeah hard to say, but you definitely stand a good chance at the prize Cam (1:16:13 AM): since you'll post more than anyone on our tribe haha Cam (1:16:32 AM): and probably more than deet if you're determined :-P Brant (1:16:43 AM): lol, yeah, if I do what I think I have time to do. I'll just see what happens. Cam (1:17:01 AM): i don't think the winner will be targeted Brant (1:17:22 AM): Maybe not right now, but later in the game people almost always go after threats. Cam (1:17:31 AM): at this point, we're carrying our tribe if the challenges keep going like this Brant (1:17:33 AM): Unless they have mad social skills or really strong alliances Cam (1:17:39 AM): true Brant (1:17:41 AM): I guess it's too early to think about that, though Cam (1:17:45 AM): lol yah Cam (1:17:47 AM): let's just get to merge Brant (1:18:00 AM): Yeah, exactly. Brant (1:18:20 AM): I think people are somewhat aware of everyone else's challenge devotion from the first one and a lot of people from past games anyway Brant (1:18:31 AM): But I should go now - ttyl Brant (1:18:35 AM): So tired lol Cam (1:18:37 AM): probably Cam (1:18:39 AM): lol go sleep Cam (1:18:41 AM): nite Brant (1:18:46 AM): night Thoughts on ChatI wasn't even planning on talking to Cam anymore last night, but I think I half-deliriously IMed him and emphasized my concerns over this challenge and the other tribe beating us plus my concern over being targeted for being a threat. If I could do it again, I wouldn't have stressed my concern over that because it just makes me sound paranoid. Based on the post indicator, the other tribe has hundreds of candies already and who knows if they edited their posts. I'm going to go for the win here, but I don't know if I'll be enough to win it for the tribe. We need more people posting...*sigh* I"m still going for this but I have a feeling it won't be enough to win it for the tribe or individually... | |

| I have a strong feeling that all my effort in this challenge will go to waste. We won't win it as a tribe and I won't win it individually. I tried my best and I've utilized all the different candy types that I can think of, so we'll just see what happens. If I lose, I won't mind.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated by the lack of communication with my tribe mates. Where are these people?! They sign onto the board and post and sometimes show up on AIM for a minute and then disappear, but I just haven't been able to communicate with them like I'm used to in a game. I can't to talk to people and strategize, and it's frustrating not being able to do this. I almost want to go to tribal council to kill some dead weight, but I don't know if I should feel comfortable enough to do that or not. | |

| I found a website with maybe 150 more images that all fall in the category of obscure, but since Travis said he posted obscure ones, I didn't know whether or not I should have used them. So I'm stopping. The end. It would be great to win, but I'm not expecting it. | |

| So we lost, and I was 2nd --- Ben beat me for the top score on the other tribe. I could've beat him, but it would have taken more of my time from me yesterday and I had already done so much. I also didn't want to risk doing any more because they may have overlapped and it would have hurt the tribe. I doubt anyone's mad at me since I did so much more than anyone else.
Lots of stuff is developing with my tribe. I'll post more soon! | |

Brant (11:31:31 AM): I haven't talked to anyone Brant (11:31:34 AM): but based on the online list... Brant (11:31:42 AM): Sarah hasn't logged onto the site in 5 days Brant (11:31:50 AM): So I think she's the weak link Kenya (11:31:59 AM): Yeah I agree with that 100% Brant (11:32:09 AM): Do you know how close she is to Pete? Kenya (11:32:16 AM): no idea Kenya (11:32:22 AM): I've talked to Pete ONCE lol Kenya (11:32:35 AM): but I mean if we have me you bryan.. and if we can convince Cam Kenya (11:32:38 AM): then we have majority Kenya (11:32:39 AM): lol Brant (11:32:57 AM): Yeah lol, that's like the key 4 of our tribe right there Kenya (11:32:58 AM): and if anyone can convince cam of anything.. it be me.. unless of course cam knows sarah and is close with her? That's what I need to find out lol Brant (11:33:17 AM): Well, I know Cam talked to Sarah and Pete the one challenge Kenya (11:33:26 AM): the first one? Brant (11:33:28 AM): They signed on together and were on like 5 minutes Brant (11:33:29 AM): Yep Kenya (11:33:47 AM): hmm together.. maybe they know each other in person? Brant (11:33:59 AM): Oh yeah, I think Sarah might be Pete's sister Brant (11:34:04 AM): I thought I said that already lol Brant (11:34:06 AM): maybe not Kenya (11:34:18 AM): probably is Brant (11:34:37 AM): Have you talked to Cam yet about the vote? Kenya (11:34:46 AM): no he hasnt answered me yet Kenya (11:34:48 AM): I hope he does soon Brant (11:35:27 AM): Me too Brant (11:35:59 AM): I'm disappointed by the challenge, but H-Tribe had people more insane than me. :-( Kenya (11:36:16 AM): and Bryan didn't compete cuz he thought the challenge started saturday night. Kenya (11:36:16 AM): He was drunk Kenya (11:36:19 AM): friday night Brant (11:36:35 AM): Ooh Brant (11:36:46 AM): Well I don't hold it against him Brant (11:36:48 AM): lol Kenya (11:36:55 AM): i didn't realize he didn't know the challenge had started Kenya (11:37:00 AM): or I would have said something on friday night Kenya (11:37:05 AM): since I fricken spoke to him LOL Brant (11:37:10 AM): Oh rofl Kenya (11:37:11 AM): at least I think i did Brant (11:37:35 AM): Yeah I didn't see him on AIM and I was all day yesterday Brant (11:37:39 AM): One thing I'm confused about Brant (11:37:55 AM): is that yesterday I found a website with like 150 images and just copied them all at the end Brant (11:38:02 AM): Today the website's down Brant (11:38:14 AM): So I'm not sure if they were counted or not. I don't think they were Kenya (11:38:32 AM): oh Brant (11:38:33 AM): It probably wouldn't have made a difference, but I think I should've had more Kenya (11:38:47 AM): are your pictures not visable? Brant (11:38:59 AM): My whole second page in my thread and a little of the first don't load. Kenya (11:39:07 AM): oh shitty Kenya (11:39:13 AM): maybe PM Doug and just ask him Brant (11:39:22 AM): Yeah, lol. Even 150 wouldn't have won it for the tribe though, but you never know. Kenya (11:39:35 AM): lol Brant (11:39:37 AM): I asked him, but I think he's sleeping now Kenya (11:39:44 AM): yeah he was up late lol Brant (11:40:28 AM): I think that must be what Ben did, just find a website and mass copy all the image URL's because to find over 100 in that individually is ridiculoys Brant (11:40:30 AM): *ridiculous Brant (11:40:33 AM): but oh well Kenya (11:41:00 AM): who didn't compete in the first challenge Kenya (11:41:02 AM): ? Brant (11:41:32 AM): It was basically all me, Cam, you, and Bryan with 50+ posts. Kenya (11:41:48 AM): did anyone else do anything though? Brant (11:41:57 AM): Sarah had 1 single post. Brant (11:42:02 AM): Pete had 0 posts. Kenya (11:42:09 AM): we would have won if Bryan had helped with the second challenge LOL he's such a dork Kenya (11:42:10 AM): he really had no idea Kenya (11:42:13 AM): it was actually funny lol Brant (11:42:15 AM): Travis and Jonathan had like...3 a piece? Kenya (11:42:39 AM): mmk Kenya (11:42:46 AM): well I think cournojo and travis proved they want to stay Brant (11:42:47 AM): lol, yeah. I was wondering where Bryan was. :-\ Kenya (11:42:48 AM): by helping Kenya (11:42:57 AM): it's just pete and sarah that seem to be the dead weight Brant (11:43:27 AM): Right, I had one really brief chat with Pete since the game started and that was it. Sarah shows up on AIM for 30 seconds and disappears, doesn't load the site... Kenya (11:44:11 AM): lol well I talked to Pete for like 10 minutes maybe lol Brant (11:44:21 AM): Do you ever see Jonathan or Travis? Kenya (11:44:29 AM): on aim? no i don't think so Kenya (11:44:35 AM): well I saw travis on aim Kenya (11:44:38 AM): but he was never there Kenya (11:44:40 AM): had away messages Brant (11:44:50 AM): I have yet to see them on AIM and get a response.

Kenya (12:07:15 PM): talking to you about what? Brant (12:08:04 PM): Anything, lol. The vote or us sticking together or whatever Brant (12:08:15 PM): I have a feeling he's about to ask if I've talked to anyone about the vote yet Kenya (12:08:46 PM): oh yeah I just made a 4 way alliance with him officially Kenya (12:08:51 PM): he asked if I spoke with you and bryan about it Kenya (12:08:55 PM): and I said I just mentioned it to you Kenya (12:08:58 PM): and that I PMed Bryan Kenya (12:08:58 PM): lol Brant (12:09:51 PM): Awesome, lol.

Cam (12:05:42 PM): eh, don't be, there's still plenty of time to get to know people Brant (12:06:19 PM): I mean I've seen people around and had some quick conversations, but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of unity and so forth Cam (12:07:09 PM): yeah, people's schedules are all different Cam (12:07:34 PM): which makes communication hard sometimes, and in turn affects challenes Brant (12:10:31 PM): Alright so I'm talking to you and Kenya right now Cam (12:10:40 PM): rofl Cam (12:10:42 PM): one sec Brant (12:10:44 PM): k Cam (12:11:12 PM): trying to make a chat room Cam (12:11:14 PM): don't know how lol Brant (12:13:33 PM): I can try Cam (12:13:43 PM): k lol, tell me how if you figure it out Brant (12:13:52 PM): I use different AIM programs all the time, and they're all different though Cam (12:14:00 PM): oh Brant (12:14:03 PM): This is normal AIM, I just switched from Trillian Cam (12:14:25 PM): i used trillian a while back Brant (12:14:30 PM): Right click someone's name on your buddy list and click Group Chat Cam (12:14:36 PM): oh Brant (12:14:45 PM): Then you can separate the names with commas Brant (12:14:48 PM): If you want to try Cam (12:14:51 PM): k Cam (12:16:07 PM): yay haha Brant (12:16:40 PM): Yay!

Cam (12:42:22 PM): no Kenya (12:42:44 PM): well no but right now since nobody was nominating.. mandie held a meeting and decided that me mo dj and her would do nominations Kenya (12:42:52 PM): but if a member sends in a nomination we will include it as well Brant (12:43:08 PM): Ah that makes sense Cam (12:43:17 PM): mo keeps nominating sadie lol. some help he is :-P Kenya (12:43:47 PM): LOL he's just a lazy son of a bitch.. who um.. now is just doing it to do it.. I think he forgot why he originally did it LOL Brant (12:45:56 PM): lol, I never understood that, but it's funny Kenya (12:46:05 PM): it is funny Cam (12:46:13 PM): ll Cam (12:46:15 PM): lol even Kenya (12:46:36 PM): okay be back in like an hour or so.. gotta go do a few things! Shall the vote be for sarah!? Brant (12:47:17 PM): I want it to be. She hasn't been to ORG Planet in 5 days and isn't on AIM often, so I think it should be. Kenya (12:47:25 PM): I think it should be too Cam (12:49:06 PM): yep, agreed Brant (12:49:19 PM): Yay for agreement! Cam (12:49:50 PM): hah Kenya (12:51:19 PM): ok be back in a while :-) Kenya (12:51:23 PM): byee Brant (12:51:37 PM): See ya later. I'll be on and off all day. Brant (12:52:00 PM): I'll leave AIM up in case something comes up Cam (12:53:29 PM): alrighty, adios amigos Brant (12:55:26 PM): To add a quick comment, I don't see any reason whatsoever why someone wouldn't agree with us about the vote. Cam (12:55:44 PM): yeah Cam (12:55:59 PM): pretty sure everyone, except jonathan probably, will vote her Brant (12:56:09 PM): What's up with jonathan? Cam (12:56:15 PM): i think he knows her from the pas Cam (12:56:17 PM): past Cam (12:56:38 PM): he was talking with her during the first challenge, and trying to set her up with an AIM account Cam (12:56:55 PM): (i was talking to him at the time) Brant (12:57:06 PM): Oh? I didn't know that Cam (12:57:11 PM): also, he picked her at the start Cam (12:57:22 PM): or...no he didn't Cam (12:57:29 PM): but he showed favoritism toward her for some reason Cam (12:57:34 PM): i can't remember where/when haha Brant (12:58:11 PM): Ooh, interesting Brant (12:58:41 PM): Well that shouldn't impact the majority Cam (12:58:52 PM): no of course not Cam (12:59:05 PM): 1 vote does nothing lol Brant (12:59:07 PM): Unless they have this massive secret alliance :-! Cam (12:59:11 PM): EEEEEEK Cam (12:59:35 PM): pretty sure we're good on that front haha Brant (12:59:46 PM): hahaha yeah I don't think we have much to worry about Brant (1:00:36 PM): Bryan's usually around. And if anyone else shows up, I'll just tell them who I'm voting for and why. Brant (1:00:54 PM): It's too early to be all secretive or withhold information I think Cam (1:01:23 PM): sounds good Kenya (3:27:14 PM): yes it does
Thoughts on Chats It's really a good idea to get a group of 4 together so that we can control the tribe, and Kenya's now set up one with me, Bryan, and Cam. Cam (and Kenya, too, a little) were talking off-topic for pretty much all of the chat. I was being more serious and trying to get the point, but it was really challenging. Hopefully that means that we're all a big, comfortable group and doesn't mean that Cam's not completely into the alliance. I'm a little scared by his lack of seriousness in there, though. We didn't talk to Bryan about it yet, but it's just incredibly important that this group of 4 is solid and sticks together for my game. Ultimately I think it will work for a few rounds at least as long as we have weaklings to oust, but who knows what will happen long term.
Sarah is the clear and obvious target right now, and I think Cam is confusing her association with Pete as being an association with Jonathan. Deetster, Pete, and Sarah even worked together to protect all three of them when we were saving each other before tribes were chosen. So by voting out Sarah we will eliminate a weak link and also cut off some connections that can be exploited later. I don't want to give Deetster anything more than he already has to work with. I'm scared that his tribe (thanks to TWO trips to the glass elevator now) will be able to take advantage of whatever they find there and use it to obliterate my current tribe. That's why it is important for me to be strongly linked to as many people as possible. | |

| Ugh, I haven't been able to talk to Jonathan, Sarah, or Travis yet. I can't isolate Travis, so I just sent him a wacky PM, knowing that he's already interacting with Kenya. PM to TravisTo my fellow lifetime supply of chocolate seeker, Sorry I haven't had a chance to talk to you. I've spent most of my free time in this game on the challenges and haven't been able to catch you on AIM. It sucks that we lost this past one... What are your thoughts on this first vote? I think we should try to take out one of our weak links as they are certainly not fit to receive the chocolatey prize and just deter our tribe's efforts. Talk to you soon and best wishes on this sweet quest, Brant | |

| Now I'll send a message to Jonathan. Pete's away for the weekend so I won't send him anything yet. And Sarah hasn't come to the site in 5 days, so I see no reason to send her anything either. At least I'm opening up to people I haven't yet communicated with.
PM to Jonathan
Hey!
This is Brant from OPS4. I thought I'd introduce myself since we haven't had an opportunity to talk yet. I'm 21, a college student, and am majoring in computer science. This summer I'm taking classes and doing some small freelancing projects.
Jumping back to the game, what do you think we should do this first vote? I think the two of us have shown that we will work hard and deserve to stay, so I'd like to target someone who hasn't shown up or helped the tribe a whole lot.
Let me know and talk to you soon, Brant | |

| I don't get why Jonathan isn't responding to me. He didn't respond to my messages in the first challenge either. Did I unintentionally offend him somehow by trying to say "hello"? Hopefully I hear from these guys by tomorrow or I'll be paranoid that they're sending me home. | |

| PM from Travis Hey man, good to see you. I think it looks like Sarah is getting the majority of the votes from our tribe. It appears that she is our tribes weakest link. She is the least active on the board, the least active in the challenges and I personally am yet to speak to her. So I can only say who I am voting for, but I am going to vote for Sarah. So what are you thinking of the game so far? I am loving it and I really like this cast!
PM to Travis Voting for Sarah is what I was hoping for since she's practically non-existent. So that's what I'll do. I haven't received responses from everyone, but it makes perfect sense since she didn't show up for the challenge and didn't give a reason why.
I love the theme of the game and everyone who I've talked to so far! So much chocolate! Maybe it's just me, but it seems so quiet right now. I hope it picks up when we take these inactive people out. Easy rounds are fun, but I can't wait to start strategizing and trying to figure out what's in that Glass Elevator...
Thoughts on Conversation Wait, what?! HOW does Travis know the majority is voting for Sarah when I haven't seen him on AIM at all and he just showed up on the board? I'll have to hope it's Kenya who told him and that he's not closely aligned with anyone else. It's a positive that we're talking and on the same page, but I don't like how he's so informed. I want to be the one to keep him in touch with what's happening, and someone's beating me to the punch. Hopefully it's just Kenya. | |

| Someone beat me to Travis, so I'm going to Pete to try to get him on my side. Will he explode if he's close to Sarah? Will this somehow backfire on me? Maybe! But I think Pete's bound to understand why we're voting for Sarah, and hopefully he'll appreciate me telling him. I'd rather do something like this while trying to make a good long-term move than just ignore Pete. We're going to be down to 15 players, which isn't a lot, so it's never too early to think about long-term moves. And Pete's a person who might be needed later. I'll also PM Bryan to keep in touch even though I'll probably end up just driving him insane. And finally, I need to let Kenya know what I'm doing so that she has the full range of information.
PM to Pete Hey Pete,
I know you're away and busy, but I was just going to let you know how I'm voting and why. Everyone I've talked to so far has said that they think Sarah should go because she hasn't logged onto the board in 5 days, didn't help us in the last challenge, and didn't give any excuse about why. I think it makes sense for the good of the tribe.
Let me know what you think if you get a chance, Brant
PM to Bryan Hey Bryan,
I didn't catch you on AIM this past weekend, but I was just going to let you know that I'm voting for Sarah this round. I talked to Cam and Kenya earlier, and they're both down for it since she hasn't even logged into the site in 5 days, hasn't helped in the challenges, and isn't talking to anyone. I don't foresee any problems unless Pete and/or Jonathan is connected to her and starts fighting, but we should still have the numbers either way.
Let me know if you have any thoughts about it and talk to you soon, Brant
PM to Kenya I was just going to say that everything still looks good for Sarah going home. Travis PMed me and said he knew the majority would be voting for Sarah before I mentioned it to him, so someone has been keeping him informed...I'm guessing it was you, lol. Otherwise I just sent some PM's to people about the vote since no one ever signs on AIM. Jonathan reads my PM's but never responds to me and I have no idea why. Hmm. But all is well.
See ya soon! Brant | |

| PM from KenyaThanks for the update and yes I told Travis to vote Sarah basically LOL! You were right about that one Jonathan PMed me.. thinking the vote is Pete but whatever.. I didn't respond to his PM which is funny.. I don't know why he doesn't reply to yours lol PM from BryanHey Brant! I totally agree with voting Sarah. I've been busy, so that's why I haven't been on AIM. I'm glad we will have numbers Have a good night! Bryan Thoughts on ConversationsEverything looks good with this upcoming vote. I don't understand why Jonathan is ignoring me, but at least I know that it's Kenya keeping Travis informed and not someone else. So let me make my predictions on how things will go down: Brant, Bryan, Cam, Kenya, Travis will vote for Sarah. Jonathan will vote for Pete (maybe Sarah?). Pete will self-vote for Pete (maybe Sarah?). Sarah will self-vote for Sarah. So Sarah will go home with between 6 and 8 of the 8 votes, and Pete should get the rest. I'll always be a little paranoid, but this is one of those votes where I should be safe. Someone may throw their vote my direction, but that only means I'll have 1-2 votes max and it's unlikely. | |

| Chat with Jonathan Jonathan (2:09:41 PM): Hey Brant, Jonathan (2:09:42 PM): its cournojo Jonathan (2:09:47 PM): how are you challenge beast lol Brant (2:12:28 PM): Hey there! Brant (2:12:50 PM): I'm doing pretty good, just had lunch lol Brant (2:13:13 PM): how are you? Jonathan (2:16:15 PM): fine Jonathan (2:16:52 PM): I hate to go right to business, but what are you thinking about tonight vote Brant (2:17:25 PM): All business is fine with me. I'm thinking that Sarah is the least active person in this game Brant (2:17:51 PM): At least she hasn't shown up and posted anything for days Brant (2:18:21 PM): I forget she's on the tribe sometimes :-\ Jonathan (2:18:25 PM): I do agree with you Brant (2:20:04 PM): So that's who I'd like to see go home. Everyone else gives excuses when they can't show up...just haven't heard anything from her Jonathan (2:20:26 PM): lol. Jonathan (2:20:43 PM): So let her explain herself in the final word area Brant (2:21:22 PM): lol yeah Jonathan (2:26:37 PM): cant wait to get the next challenge Brant (2:29:56 PM): Me too! Brant (2:30:02 PM): I hope it's not as time consuming as the last two Brant (2:31:42 PM): But I think our group has a lot of potential and we can win again, especially if everyone's able to show up Brant (2:32:26 PM): I really want to find out what's in that Glass Elevator too...can't believe Ben posted so much to win a trip Jonathan (2:35:32 PM): I guess it'S something related to an HII Brant (2:37:30 PM): Right...I hope there's only like 1 in there and it's hard to get. Having someone like Ben who's so good at the challenges get an idol would be scary :-\ Brant (2:38:53 PM): So I hope a Snozzwanger can go there just so we have an idea what we're going to be up against.. Jonathan (2:39:16 PM): Exactly. Jonathan (2:39:39 PM): So right now, Ben is the biggest target I believe Brant (2:41:55 PM): Definitely. I fear that if we go down in numbers and they have an idol, we can just be Pagonged. I want to send them to tribal council Jonathan (2:44:54 PM): Same here. I know that we are both REALLY strong tribe. Jonathan (2:45:01 PM): Deetster and Ben are two workhorses Jonathan (2:45:16 PM): I know that you are great in challegnes. Same for Dogdude. Brant (2:45:18 PM): I saw Violet posted a lot too Jonathan (2:45:28 PM): When I have time to do challegnes, I can rock also Brant (2:46:41 PM): Yeah, I saw you online during the first two and you posted a lot last one Brant (2:46:54 PM): Bryan, Kenya, and Travis also did a fair amont Brant (2:46:57 PM): amount Brant (2:47:11 PM): between the first and second one Jonathan (2:47:22 PM): 20 sucks to be honest lol. During the weekend is almost impossible for me to compete in this type of challenges. Since I have 2 daughters and I wife, I dont see myself doing like 4 hours of posting lol Brant (2:51:25 PM): Right, I have some free time during the days but I still hate spending so much time just posting like the last two. Brant (2:51:45 PM): It's a challenge because everyone's schedule is different Brant (2:52:39 PM): I don't know how we'll ever be able to have a live challenge because we're never all on at the same time Jonathan (2:52:49 PM): honestly I'm in another game right now. and I HATE standard challegne when you just have to POST SEARCH stuff Jonathan (2:52:58 PM): can someone be creative Jonathan (2:53:15 PM): Man I wish people would have applied for my game at ORG. Challenges were so much more fun Brant (2:53:56 PM): I saw it posted but didn't apply because I had a really busy semester and not much time to play Brant (2:54:10 PM): I'd be interested if you ever tried to start it again Brant (2:54:29 PM): Doug mentioned that the challenges would get more interesting later Brant (2:54:33 PM): so hopefully they do Jonathan (2:57:28 PM): Im sure they will. Jonathan (2:57:35 PM): I will certainly re-do my game after this one. Brant (3:00:49 PM): That's great. Yours was the one with the cash prize, right? Jonathan (3:02:52 PM): exactly. Brant (3:03:31 PM): I can't believe people wouldn't apply for that Brant (3:03:47 PM): I mean I didn't because I didn't have enough time then...but hardly any games ever have prizes Jonathan (3:04:04 PM): From what people told me is that my game was too hard Jonathan (3:04:08 PM): which was true Jonathan (3:04:12 PM): it was hard like hell Brant (3:07:32 PM): lol, I like hard games Brant (3:07:39 PM): Was it the game that was hard or the challenges or both? Brant (3:09:35 PM): I can't remember what the theme was or anything Jonathan (3:09:53 PM): BOTH. It was a game that was involving the survival part of the game Jonathan (3:10:08 PM): and challenges were all based on the actual real show Jonathan (3:10:33 PM): Brant. I gtg right now. I'll cast my vote for Sarah later on Jonathan (3:10:34 PM): cya
Chat with Pete Pete (2:23:13 PM): hey Brant (2:29:23 PM): Hey sorry about that Brant (2:29:25 PM): what's up? Pete (2:36:41 PM): no prob, not much just wanted to chat about TC Brant (2:37:58 PM): Ok, cool. What do you think? Brant (2:38:09 PM): I've only been hearing Sarah's name so far Pete (2:38:37 PM): well I understand why everyone wants to vote Sarah out but I can't vote for her cause I got her to sign up, I'm trying to get her to be active on this site Brant (2:40:13 PM): Yeah, I can understand that Brant (2:40:47 PM): I don't know if anyone's mind can be changed for the vote though Pete (2:40:52 PM): is there anyone else you'd be willing to vote for to give her a 2nd chance Pete (2:41:02 PM): well maybe we can sway enough people Pete (2:41:21 PM): I wanna try I feel I owe it to her, we're not even aligned but I just don't want her to go first from our tribe Brant (2:42:46 PM): Honestly I've now talked to everyone except for her :-\ Brant (2:42:54 PM): Let me think though... Brant (2:44:16 PM): Bryan, Kenya, and Cam all did a lot in the first challenge. Cournojo and Travis both really stepped up last challenge Brant (2:44:56 PM): I feel bad for Sarah, but I feel like I owe it to the people who worked hard and I've talked to not to turn against them Brant (2:45:47 PM): :-\ Pete (2:46:07 PM): I completely understand Pete (2:46:23 PM): it sucks cause both her and I tried to work on the first challenge but couldn't lol Brant (2:48:41 PM): Yeah, we weren't very organized for that one. Cam just asked me to post with him, and I did. Brant (2:48:57 PM): I saw Sarah was on and trying to post for it Brant (2:49:10 PM): I just haven't seen her since that night Pete (2:49:49 PM): she has two small kids and has a lot going on Brant (2:54:59 PM): Right, I understand that she's busy and feel bad. :-\ I just don't know what can be done to save her without really upsetting someone Pete (2:55:42 PM): well in these games someones bound to get upset at some point lol Brant (2:57:40 PM): Yeah, true. I mean it's going to happen to someone active if we go to TC again. :-\ Pete (2:58:01 PM): I just feel like it's going to be me, I feel like I'm on the outside :-( Brant (2:58:35 PM): I don't think that's true right now Brant (2:58:53 PM): No one's mentioned your name right now as a target Brant (2:59:16 PM): But a lot depends on the next challenge Pete (2:59:27 PM): definitely Brant (3:00:05 PM): I think if someone who didn't do well in a past challenge or missed the last one like Bryan doesn't show up for another one, people will want to target that person Pete (3:01:31 PM): yeah definitely Brant (3:01:32 PM): Or maybe an alliance will form and start taking out threats or something, I hope not Brant (3:01:48 PM): I'm scared that I'll be our tribe's victim if it does Pete (3:02:09 PM): yeah hopefully, I know there is one person I want out a lot, but other than that I'm not even thinking about voting anyone else Brant (3:04:27 PM): Hmm, I'm pretty neutral towards everyone Brant (3:04:49 PM): I keep saying it, but it's been pretty dull strategy-wise so far. No one's really talking Pete (3:05:06 PM): thats cool, well I have no plans to vote you out and will let you know if I hear your name Brant (3:05:33 PM): I might be interested in helping you target that one person if you want to try it next TC... I'll let you know if I hear your name too Brant (3:05:53 PM): For now I don't honestly think anything can be done about saving Sarah though Pete (3:06:04 PM): thanks, that would be great Brant (3:06:13 PM): I've now talked to you more than about half the tribe so I don't want to vote you out either Pete (3:06:14 PM): yeah that sucks and I understand that Brant (3:06:27 PM): I mean I've talked to you more than about half the tribe Brant (3:06:37 PM): Er that message went through, oops Pete (3:07:33 PM): it's cool, yeah I've talked to you more than everyone else too, 2nd would be Cam, I'd like to see us all make it far Brant (3:08:57 PM): Same. Cam's probably the most active social person I've seen in this game and he works really hard in the challenges. Brant (3:09:16 PM): I don't want to see him gone any time soon either Pete (3:09:58 PM): definitely, he is the leader of our tribe (based on the beginning) and he's doing a great job in that role Brant (3:12:50 PM): Yeah, I was nervous at first when he picked me last for the tribe, but I feel a little more comfortable now. He's a good leader. Brant (3:13:01 PM): Alright I've got to go for a little Pete (3:13:03 PM): yeah thats good Pete (3:13:10 PM): okay, well I'll chat with you more later Brant (3:13:33 PM): Ok I need to take a quiz for one of my summer classes, but I'll be on some more later today and most of the week Brant (3:13:54 PM): Nice chatting, hopefully we can stick together, and ttyl Pete (3:14:01 PM): def ttyl
Thoughts on Chats Now at this point, I'm on the verge of going all Russell Hantz and making alliances with everyone that I can't possibly keep. As witnessed on the show, if you're able to effectively make everyone like you (kinda) and think you're working with them, then you get information from all sides and can make the smartest strategic moves possible. But then you end up hurting almost all of the jury when you betray them, and they dislike you for it at final tribal council. Even if you end up winning the game, it's just not a very positive, happy-feeling victory. I've done that in games before, and it's worked, but I don't want to do it again.
So I'm going to try to be a good person and responsibly handle these relationships and the deals that I've made with people. I now have a four-person alliance with Bryan, Cam, and Kenya. I have separate friendships with Pete and Jonathan, while I've only had a single message exchange with Travis. Travis is the person I want to see gone because I don't owe him anything, but I don't see how I can make that happen yet. So unless I think that Travis can go home, we need to keep winning challenges so I don't have to go morally gray with anyone. It's going to happen at some point, but I need to work really hard to handle relationships as best as possible. Jonathan and Pete both seem like really nice guys, and I hope the games works out so that we're able to stick together.
So who does Pete want out?! I want to know really bad, hahahaha. I'm guessing it's Kenya just because Kenya didn't seem that interested in protecting Pete, but I could be wrong. | |
