w/ Brant
Brant Steele (8:48:17 PM): Hey!
Dogdude84 (8:48:49 PM): heya brant
Brant Steele (8:49:00 PM): How's it going? Ready for this challenge?
Dogdude84 (8:49:07 PM): yes, definitely!
Brant Steele (8:49:23 PM): Me, too. Just got back in time, lol. I have no idea what to expect or if it's live or what
Brant Steele (8:50:03 PM): But we gotta win it as a group, especially if there's a glass elevator twist.
Dogdude84 (8:50:19 PM): oh yeah
Dogdude84 (8:50:25 PM): gotta keep them from getting a prize
Brant Steele (8:50:32 PM): That's my biggest concern
Dogdude84 (8:50:37 PM): yep haha
Brant Steele (8:51:26 PM): I've talked to Cory, Deet, and Sadie from Horn. And a little more to Kenya since we last talked.
Brant Steele (8:51:37 PM): Everyone seems to dislike Kyle and want him gone.
Dogdude84 (8:52:04 PM): yeah i've gotten that feeling too
Dogdude84 (8:52:13 PM): and yeah i talked to Deet and he said that he wanted kyle gone
Dogdude84 (8:52:32 PM): i haven't talked to kenya in a bit
Brant Steele (8:52:36 PM): Cool. I think Deetster said "the assumption that Kyle will be the first target is probably correct" to me
Brant Steele (8:52:37 PM): lol
Brant Steele (8:52:48 PM): He's got crazy, very-carefully crafted statements
Dogdude84 (8:52:59 PM): yeah he's weird like that
Dogdude84 (8:53:49 PM): good news is that if one of them gets a prize this round, it doesn't come into effect until the next round
Brant Steele (8:54:08 PM): Oh, really? I didn't know there was a round delay in getting them.
Brant Steele (8:54:21 PM): Can they get it and use it but the effect isn't in effect until the round after if it's used?
Dogdude84 (8:54:50 PM): you can win it, like doug will say "yes you're correct and this is what you win", but you don't physically have the prize until the next round
Dogdude84 (8:55:30 PM): *stalks wonka forums*
Brant Steele (8:55:56 PM): Hahahaha
Brant Steele (8:55:59 PM): That makes sense
Brant Steele (8:56:32 PM): But good to know, definitely, and relieves some paranoia.
Dogdude84 (8:56:40 PM): yep
Dogdude84 (8:56:46 PM): but still need to keep them from getting things
Dogdude84 (8:56:52 PM): just because, well, we want them
Brant Steele (8:57:12 PM): Yep, definitely. I think you probably got the most powerful one, but we don't need anything in our way
Brant Steele (8:57:31 PM): Kenya knows that I know about the idol now, but I haven't mentioned it to Bryan like you requested.
Brant Steele (8:57:54 PM): I haven't talked to Bryan in a while, just IMed Pete to make sure we're on the same page
Dogdude84 (8:58:03 PM): yah i'm talking to pete right now
Dogdude84 (8:58:05 PM): saw him on
Brant Steele (8:58:27 PM): Awesome, good to keep us all together
Dogdude84 (8:58:29 PM): can't remember if i've told bryan about the idol yet
Dogdude84 (8:58:34 PM): i'll bring it up to him later
Brant Steele (8:58:43 PM): Ok, cool. It's been a long weekend
Brant Steele (8:58:49 PM): And hard to remember some stuff
Brant Steele (8:58:51 PM): lol
Dogdude84 (8:58:54 PM): yah lol
Dogdude84 (8:59:10 PM): i think fireworks probably rocked a few brain cells loose
Brant Steele (8:59:27 PM): Hahahaha yeah
Dogdude84 (9:00:08 PM): doug is late
Dogdude84 (9:00:09 PM): rawr
Dogdude84 (9:00:10 PM):
Brant Steele (9:00:19 PM): Ooh it's up
Dogdude84 (9:02:11 PM): a bit confusing
Dogdude84 (9:02:19 PM): i hate trying to understand these challenges sometimes lol
Brant Steele (9:03:16 PM): Yeah, I'm reading it
Brant Steele (9:03:21 PM): and trying to block out the 5000 IM's
Dogdude84 (9:03:28 PM): rofl
Brant Steele (9:04:29 PM): I think I got it
Brant Steele (9:04:35 PM): Ugh, so the glass elevator twist sucks
Dogdude84 (9:04:47 PM): seems like we can just extinguish any we seen in our threads at any time
Brant Steele (9:06:00 PM): Is Doug not on AIM?
Dogdude84 (9:06:14 PM): apparently not
Brant Steele (9:06:26 PM): I love him being able to clarify
Dogdude84 (9:07:33 PM): i posted about it
Dogdude84 (9:07:36 PM): we'll see if he responds
Brant Steele (9:10:02 PM): I think his answer was clear
Dogdude84 (9:10:14 PM): yep, makes sense
Dogdude84 (9:10:49 PM): so the idea for this challenge will be to hit people when they're afk
Brant Steele (9:11:24 PM): Yep yep
Brant Steele (9:11:31 PM): And the person hit most gets a glass elevator prize
Brant Steele (9:13:21 PM): So hmm
Brant Steele (9:13:29 PM): Even if Kyle gets one and is voted out, I don't know what happens
Brant Steele (9:13:34 PM): But I'd rather not risk it
Brant Steele (9:13:55 PM): I mean in theory we could make it obvious we're all connected
Brant Steele (9:14:02 PM): And target someone like mad in our group to get them the most
Brant Steele (9:14:14 PM): While just making sure Kyle doesn't get immunity
Brant Steele (9:14:30 PM): Deetster just told me he's camping or something and won't have internet at all over the next day
Brant Steele (9:14:47 PM): So he won't be a problem, but I don't want him getting that prize
Dogdude84 (9:15:28 PM): rofl yeah he's in the woods or something crazy and just got internet
Brant Steele (9:15:56 PM): Kyle's hardly active from what I've seen. Sadie's sometimes really busy, Cory isn't online a ton
Brant Steele (9:16:01 PM): So I think we have a lot of control over this...
Dogdude84 (9:16:28 PM): we should definitely keep it among us who gets bombed the most
Dogdude84 (9:16:46 PM): i know it's hard for someone to straight up give up immunity, but they would get a prize
Brant Steele (9:18:15 PM): Yeah
Dogdude84 (9:18:18 PM): what you think about us hitting kenya?
Brant Steele (9:18:24 PM): That's fine with me
Brant Steele (9:18:30 PM): I think we should "discuss" it with Pete and Bryan
Dogdude84 (9:18:31 PM): i'd feel better if she were around to discuss it
Dogdude84 (9:18:46 PM): group convo?
Brant Steele (9:18:50 PM): Yeah, that's fine with me
Brant Steele (9:18:59 PM): I mean I'd volunteer to give up immunity, doesn't matter a whole lot
Brant Steele (9:19:08 PM): We need to focus on the big picture
Brant Steele (9:19:28 PM): And somehow, keep in mind Pete and Bryan might be wondering about the glass elevator so if we have a group chat, there may be awkwardness and confusion
Brant Steele (9:33:30 PM): I'm trying to figure out an unbiased way to pick the person, lol. Pete's so quiet and he's the main reason for the chat
Dogdude84 (9:33:54 PM): haha
Dogdude84 (9:34:19 PM): well we could just send kenya and explain to her why we're bombing her
Dogdude84 (9:34:35 PM): or if you want the elevator, i'm happy to hit you too
Brant Steele (9:34:45 PM): Either way, it's all good
Brant Steele (9:34:55 PM): As long as the explanation makes sense to Pete.
Brant Steele (9:34:57 PM): lol
Dogdude84 (9:35:07 PM): but yeah like it has already been said, it doesn't matter who's immune as long as it isn't kyle
Brant Steele (9:35:12 PM): Yep yep
Dogdude84 (9:35:22 PM): so maybe we bomb him for a while until we figure things out?
Brant Steele (9:35:49 PM): Yeah, sure
Brant Steele (9:36:13 PM): Cory, Deetster, or Sadie would be ridiculous to join us and target Kyle
Dogdude84 (9:36:15 PM): i just don't want the other people to spam us in the middle of the night or something
Brant Steele (9:36:40 PM): If they coordinate, they'll probably do it amongst each other but with Deetster not even around, I doubt they'll do a good job
Dogdude84 (9:36:53 PM): yeah
Brant Steele (9:36:54 PM): But it's best to be as safe as possible
Brant Steele (9:37:19 PM): Oh Bryan hit me
Brant Steele (9:37:20 PM): lol
Dogdude84 (9:37:24 PM): ROFL
Brant Steele (9:37:43 PM): He hit Pete, too
Brant Steele (9:37:49 PM): And Kenya
Brant Steele (9:37:54 PM): Oh, that's not a bad idea I suppose
Dogdude84 (9:37:56 PM): lmao why
Brant Steele (9:38:04 PM): I guess he doesn't want us winning immunity
Brant Steele (9:38:05 PM): rofl
Dogdude84 (9:38:19 PM): lmao i dunno what's in his mind exacrlt
Dogdude84 (9:38:21 PM): exactly*
Dogdude84 (9:38:48 PM): meh, i'm gonna hit kyle
Brant Steele (9:38:52 PM): Yeah, I don't know. I guess he doesn't care who gets immunity
Brant Steele (9:39:04 PM): Even with this group chat we're all doing crazy individual things
Brant Steele (9:39:05 PM): lol
Dogdude84 (9:39:30 PM): yah
Brant Steele (9:39:58 PM): Deetster's going to end up winning immunity since he's a non-threat -_-
Brant Steele (9:40:04 PM): Idk though, we can control it
Dogdude84 (9:40:17 PM): doesn't matter if he's immune though
Dogdude84 (9:40:20 PM): at least not for this round
Brant Steele (9:40:25 PM): Right right
Brant Steele (9:40:35 PM): Did he get a past-vote from Travis?
Brant Steele (9:40:42 PM): I think either you or Kenya told me that
Dogdude84 (9:41:29 PM): deet did yeah, i told you
Dogdude84 (9:41:40 PM): or both of us told you, idk haha
Brant Steele (9:41:42 PM): Good to know, not like it should matter
Brant Steele (9:41:43 PM): lol
Dogdude84 (9:41:54 PM): threw 3 yellows at kyle
Brant Steele (9:41:54 PM): That's the best part of immunity, no past-votes
Dogdude84 (9:41:54 PM): meh
Dogdude84 (9:42:00 PM): ahyes lol
Brant Steele (9:42:49 PM): Because the final 4, if we're that lucky, is so uncertain. Those past-votes could send someone home that round
Dogdude84 (9:43:05 PM): oh yeah that's very true
Brant Steele (9:43:13 PM): Long ways away but could still be important
Brant Steele (10:34:33 PM): This could be an issue, he may want to approach us about a F3.
Dogdude84 (10:34:51 PM): hmm yeah he might
Dogdude84 (11:09:49 PM): no need to be in the group chat
Brant Steele (11:10:01 PM): Right since it's just us
Dogdude84 (11:10:05 PM): mhm
Brant Steele (11:10:07 PM): I love how Bryan was like "We should be on all night"
Brant Steele (11:10:10 PM): ...and left
Brant Steele (11:10:11 PM): rofl
Dogdude84 (11:10:21 PM): is he offline?
Dogdude84 (11:10:30 PM): oh yeah he is
Dogdude84 (11:10:38 PM): meh, he's distracted by guitar hero
Dogdude84 (11:10:44 PM): or rock band or w/e he said
Brant Steele (11:10:50 PM): Yeah, one of those
Brant Steele (11:11:02 PM): I'm glad you averted the topic from a Deetster vote.
Brant Steele (11:11:19 PM): Just in case Kenya or even Bryan wouldn't like that
Brant Steele (11:12:03 PM): Because again, I'm not 100% sure how close Kenya is to Deetster since you said they worked together in the one challenge plus I keep getting vibes that Bryan and Kenya have final two plans, but idk.
Brant Steele (11:12:10 PM): And your logic makes sense, we should vote Kyle here
Dogdude84 (11:12:28 PM): yah
Dogdude84 (11:12:54 PM): i really don't think kenya and bryan have anything. that would surprise me
Brant Steele (11:13:50 PM): All right, definitely don't tell either one I'm concerned lol
Brant Steele (11:14:01 PM): I know they're husband and wife if you look at their Tengaged profiles lol
Brant Steele (11:14:05 PM): And they were just playing a game together
Brant Steele (11:14:36 PM): "*Tengaged Husband: Bryan * <3 <3 <3"
Dogdude84 (11:17:15 PM): oh really? i've never seen that
Dogdude84 (11:17:40 PM): kenya has a tengaged profile?
Brant Steele (11:18:39 PM): http://www.tengaged.com/user/AngelofWater
Dogdude84 (11:19:09 PM): oh weird that's her?
Brant Steele (11:19:22 PM): Yep, pretty sure it is
Dogdude84 (11:19:33 PM): crazy
Brant Steele (11:19:41 PM): I thought I added her with the ORG Planet people and group
Brant Steele (11:19:46 PM): Although I can't even find it right now -_-
Dogdude84 (11:20:12 PM): oh wow, never realized that was her
Dogdude84 (11:20:17 PM): http://www.tengaged.com/group/2108
Dogdude84 (11:20:18 PM): btw
Brant Steele (11:20:31 PM): Oooh, okay. I guess I'm not logged in
Dogdude84 (11:20:37 PM): oh lol
Brant Steele (11:20:45 PM): Well if you talk to her and friend her, don't even mention it was me who told you who she was, haha
Brant Steele (11:20:51 PM): Or she may get super-paranoid, idk
Dogdude84 (11:21:13 PM): i'm not even gonna friend her on tengaged, would be too sudden
Brant Steele (11:21:43 PM): She just talks to me about final 4 and so forth and I know she likes me, you, and Bryan but I don't know who she is closest to. There hasn't been any final 2 talk from her at all.
Brant Steele (11:22:14 PM): Again it's definitely not something that I think should divide us before final 4. I just like to think everything through closely.
Dogdude84 (11:22:30 PM): meh, i think she's still solid with us
Dogdude84 (11:22:32 PM): yeah for the final 4
Brant Steele (11:22:45 PM): I don't think she'll betray us at all, even for Deetster.
Dogdude84 (11:22:47 PM): if we go 2-2 at the F4, so be it
Dogdude84 (11:22:51 PM): right, me either
Brant Steele (11:23:11 PM): Yeah I agree, let's just see what happens when that comes. Who knows what this current situation will bring, we need to get there first
Brant Steele (11:23:37 PM): And Kyle's posts count for the ones he was allowed to extinguish
Dogdude84 (11:23:38 PM): yeppers
Brant Steele (11:23:49 PM): But he didn't extinguish them all
Dogdude84 (11:24:08 PM): yeah he won't win immunity
Brant Steele (11:24:15 PM): I foresee this epic 8:59 post with like 4 of us all sending 6 at one person, lol
Dogdude84 (11:24:31 PM): ROFL
Dogdude84 (11:24:38 PM): last minute spamfest ftw
Brant Steele (11:25:09 PM): Hahah yes. I would not be surprised
Brant Steele (11:25:43 PM): surprised about what? idk what I'm even saying
Dogdude84 (11:26:18 PM): lol
Brant Steele (11:29:03 PM): Google Spreadsheets is too frustrating for me
Brant Steele (11:29:08 PM): To make a public thing for our tribe
Dogdude84 (11:29:28 PM): lol i wouldn't worry about it
Brant Steele (11:29:45 PM): It's just not as easy to design spreadsheets and edit them and merge and copy and paste as Excel.
Dogdude84 (11:30:13 PM): do you not have excel?
Brant Steele (11:30:17 PM): No, I have it
Brant Steele (11:30:29 PM): I just thought it would be nice to have something all of us could log in and edit and look at
Brant Steele (11:30:55 PM): I'll roughly keep track on my own
Dogdude84 (11:31:12 PM): gotcha
Tuesday, July 06, 2010
Dogdude84 (12:15:30 AM): still on?
Brant Steele (12:15:35 AM): Absolutely
Dogdude84 (12:15:41 AM): 2 yellows comin your way
Brant Steele (12:15:47 AM): Awesomeness
Dogdude84 (12:16:01 AM): postede
Brant Steele (12:16:23 AM): I'll give you hmm
Brant Steele (12:18:01 AM): I'll give you a yellow
Dogdude84 (12:18:07 AM): alrighty
Brant Steele (12:18:28 AM): Should I give Pete one too?
Dogdude84 (12:18:34 AM): sure
Dogdude84 (12:18:50 AM): i'm not giving kyle any since he's on right now
Brant Steele (12:18:59 AM): I wasn't even being conscientous of the fact that people not on...I maybe shouldn't give to
Brant Steele (12:19:01 AM): like Kenya lol
Brant Steele (12:19:12 AM): Just because it keeps her from winning
Dogdude84 (12:19:14 AM): well again, it's ok if she's not immune
Dogdude84 (12:19:20 AM): just gotta prevent kyle
Brant Steele (12:19:45 AM): Yep yep
Brant Steele (12:20:13 AM): I love making them all separate
Brant Steele (12:20:16 AM): And getting all those posts
Brant Steele (12:20:18 AM): hahaha
Brant Steele (12:20:26 AM): I really want to pass Orlando and make top 10 posters.
Dogdude84 (12:20:41 AM): i'm sure it'll happen with this game
Brant Steele (12:20:55 AM): Yeah I bet it will
Brant Steele (12:21:01 AM): I mean it might happen this challenge
Brant Steele (12:21:02 AM): Yayy
Dogdude84 (12:21:17 AM): oh haha yeah it could for sure
Brant Steele (12:21:18 AM): At the same time, it's sorta sad because MOST of my posts were from this game and that first challenge
Brant Steele (12:21:18 AM): lol
Dogdude84 (12:21:23 AM): ~40 more posts
Dogdude84 (12:21:30 AM): lmao yeah
Dogdude84 (12:21:34 AM): we got soooo many posts
Brant Steele (12:21:46 AM): I think approximately 1000
Brant Steele (12:21:47 AM): lol
Dogdude84 (12:21:51 AM): rofl
Dogdude84 (12:21:53 AM): sounds about right
Brant Steele (12:22:36 AM): I'll give you a black one
Brant Steele (12:22:39 AM): Don't know what else to do with it
Brant Steele (12:22:56 AM): We're allowed to give one person a second in the hour, right?
Dogdude84 (12:23:48 AM): yeah, you can even give someone all 6 in an hour
Dogdude84 (12:24:37 AM): i'm just waiting for like the 1 o'clock hour where kyle is gonna go apeshit on this challenge
Dogdude84 (12:25:01 AM): or 2 o'clock etc
Brant Steele (12:25:25 AM): Yeahh
Brant Steele (12:25:29 AM): Idk how late I'll be on
Brant Steele (12:25:36 AM): I'm fading but I can handle it
Dogdude84 (12:26:34 AM): i'm probably going to bed soon
Dogdude84 (12:26:39 AM): maybe staying to post for 1am
Dogdude84 (12:26:44 AM): but i doubt any after that
Brant Steele (12:27:29 AM): Yeah I think that's a good idea. An occasional Hornswoggler to hit is good
Brant Steele (12:27:37 AM): but we need to keep this amongst ourselves.
Dogdude84 (12:27:55 AM): yah
Brant Steele (12:27:56 AM): And in the morning, I should be on and be on most of the day to coordinate
Dogdude84 (12:28:05 AM): ok cool
Brant Steele (12:28:05 AM): If we have to start hitting all 6 at someone, we can do that and catch up probably
Dogdude84 (12:28:12 AM): yeah easily
Brant Steele (12:43:13 AM): Ok, I just checked
Brant Steele (12:43:17 AM): quickly
Brant Steele (12:43:23 AM): Pete looks like he's winning with 15
Brant Steele (12:43:28 AM): This is glass elevator, nothing else
Brant Steele (12:43:35 AM): Kenya and I have 13
Brant Steele (12:43:44 AM): Kyle 10
Brant Steele (12:43:57 AM): You 9, Bryan 6
Brant Steele (12:44:12 AM): Sadie 6, Deet 5, Cory 4
Brant Steele (12:44:20 AM): That doesn't count who blocked or whatever
Dogdude84 (12:44:27 AM): gotcha
Brant Steele (12:44:33 AM): And it's rough and I'm tired lol
Dogdude84 (12:44:40 AM): plus blocking doesn't matter for elevator
Brant Steele (12:45:04 AM): Right right, I mean we should be winning it right now since we're blocking all of them
Brant Steele (12:45:12 AM): But glass elevator is what counts
Dogdude84 (12:45:21 AM): yeh
Dogdude84 (12:45:35 AM): kyle is still on >.>
Dogdude84 (12:45:37 AM): go awayyyyy
Brant Steele (12:45:45 AM): That chat with Deetster...
Dogdude84 (12:45:55 AM): huh
Brant Steele (12:46:12 AM): The one with Deet and Kyle that was posted in the Hornswoggler forum
Brant Steele (12:46:18 AM): Started at 5:25 AM -_-
Brant Steele (12:46:27 AM): Lasted until 6:35 AM
Dogdude84 (12:46:28 AM): what chat?
Brant Steele (12:46:37 AM): So some of these people have irregular sleep schedules
Brant Steele (12:46:41 AM): They had a fight
Dogdude84 (12:46:46 AM): oh that chat
Brant Steele (12:46:52 AM): And Deetster got upset and posted the chat for everyone to see
Brant Steele (12:46:53 AM): lol
Brant Steele (12:47:01 AM): Title: "Because Kyle Is Such a Pain in the Ass"
Dogdude84 (12:47:32 AM): lmfaooooo
Brant Steele (12:47:32 AM): Or something like that
Brant Steele (12:47:33 AM): lo
Brant Steele (12:47:35 AM): l
Brant Steele (12:47:41 AM): Have you IMed Kyle yet?
Brant Steele (12:47:54 AM): I've talked to all 8 people in this game except him
Dogdude84 (12:48:33 AM): i talked with him pre merge a little bit
Dogdude84 (12:48:36 AM): but not since merge
Dogdude84 (12:57:01 AM): wanna trade 6 on the hour?
Brant Steele (12:57:13 AM): I give you 6, you give me 6?
Dogdude84 (12:57:17 AM): mhm
Brant Steele (12:57:19 AM): Sure
Dogdude84 (12:58:11 AM): then i'm hoppin in bed
Brant Steele (12:58:14 AM): Same here
Brant Steele (12:58:18 AM): We can even sign off at the same time
Brant Steele (12:58:19 AM): hahahaha
Dogdude84 (12:58:23 AM): rofl
Dogdude84 (12:58:24 AM): love it
Brant Steele (12:58:29 AM): And randomly wake up and start posting within minutes of each other
Dogdude84 (12:58:35 AM): lmao
Dogdude84 (12:58:42 AM): i actually just let myself go idle on AIM all the tiem
Dogdude84 (12:58:44 AM): time
Dogdude84 (12:58:46 AM): i don' really sign off
Brant Steele (12:59:07 AM): Yeah, that makes sense. I wouldn't but I need to rest my computer or the motherboard would start melting
Brant Steele (12:59:14 AM): So I shut down
Dogdude84 (12:59:16 AM): rofl
Dogdude84 (12:59:17 AM): yah
Brant Steele (12:59:27 AM): I tried getting AIM on the phone but it disconnects so much it's not even worth it
Dogdude84 (12:59:38 AM): oh yeah, not so much
Brant Steele (12:59:40 AM): Because when it disconnects, it doesn't sign me off so I don't get messages people send. Sucks
Dogdude84 (1:00:01 AM): i just get AIM messages forwarded to my phone
Dogdude84 (1:00:08 AM): if i'm offline or i think even idle
Brant Steele (1:00:19 AM): Yeah, that's a good idea, I might try something like that
Dogdude84 (1:00:33 AM): gave you your 6
Brant Steele (1:00:46 AM): gave you your 6
Dogdude84 (1:01:26 AM): alrighty
Dogdude84 (1:01:28 AM): nite buddy
Brant Steele (1:01:39 AM): I don't know if I'll be able to sign on super early since I might have company when I wake up. By noon for sure
Brant Steele (1:01:39 AM): Night
Brant Steele (1:01:46 AM): Maybe earlier
Dogdude84 (1:01:57 AM): put out your balls lol
