(Pre-Game Confessionals)
« Thread Started on Dec 5, 2005, 9:02pm »		[Quote]
I cannot believe this is finally here. I have anticipated this thing since Wonderland started, and here I sit in Asteria. I guess I am most concerned about *who* is going to be on my tribe. We are in this beautiful place, and I am just interested to see who is going to be playing the game.

I love that the whole game is mysterious, and you never really know what is going on. I am only going to know the people on my tribe, and we will not know the entire cast. This puts us all on an even playing field, and I really like that.

Looking back over my time in Wonderland, I know I am coming into this game with a GIANT target on my back. I think I can work it though, and claim the title of Sole Survivor once again. *smiles* I still take nothing back from Wonderland, and I am just going into this game looking forward, and not backward. I still think I will be able to gain peoples trust, and to make it to the end game.

Time will tell how I do, I am just stoked that the game is FINALLY here...it is time to dominate!

I think it was obvious that you hosted all those chat games as part of your grand plan. Smart guy!

CELL PHONE WHOREAGE!

I am sad to say that there are no phone transcripts for this game, because some CRAZY shit went down during phone calls to alot of people. Total in this game, I think it would be safe to assume I spent about 1,000 hours+ on the phone with people...heres a quick run-down


PRE GAME

Katie-Around 2 hours a night pretty much 7 days a week.

Patrick-Around 1 hour a night, and probably at *least* an hour of 3way a night

Jake-I had a LONG convo with him as soon as the game started, where we agreed to work together to the end....but then he quit. So who knows.

DURING GAME

Matto-Probably around 1 hour a night (that went up as the game progressed...now I would say at least 1-2 hours a night)

Katie-omg....haha. About 3 hours a day....which turned to 4..5....6??? *hides*

Jen-I called Jen only when big shit was going down, and I absolutely needed to secure her vote. *kicks self for not calling her @ F5*

Patrick-see Katie, but to a lesser extent

Jamie-I wasnt sure where I stood with her....and was pretty much just talking to her for strategy purposes (about 20 minutes a day????)

POST KATIE VOTE OFF

Matto-More so than ever....and it continues as of right now. I talk to him at *least* once a day.....probably more like 5 or 6.

Jamie-I have become so unbelievably close with this girl it is S-C-A-R-Y. So many inside jokes. Oh and Jamie.....one more semester and I am bean town bound!!!!!!!! *woot*

Katie-Hopefully trying to rebuild what we had????



Anyway....I'm sure there are others with cell-phone-whoreage to own up too. I think calling people from these games is the biggest strategy EVER....and it also makes it 500 times more fun.

24 hours * 100ish days = 2400 hours

1000-plus hours is probably well over half of Tyler's waking hours during the duration of the game. And I thought I was obsessed. I don't even have a cell.

Although I did call that conference room that was set up before the game started. Jamie and Katie and someone else were there, but I was only around for like three minutes, and I was a big doofus to boot.

I call it extremely unfair to call people with phones on an online game. But then again, maybe I'm biased because my parents won't let me call "strangers" >_<

Town bound? <3 LOVE IT!

As for my cell phone whoring.. well.. it was mainly Tyler, lol. I did the Conference Calls, and then had calls when needed during challenges. But most of my stuff was done online.

I've never really done phone calls DURING a game..I've talked with people after a game is done, but not during and not like, strategically. It'd be a lot harder to lie over the phone, one would think. [image]

And again, Sam! You totally put me on the wrong tribe. I was all willing to give out my cell phone number to people while I was in Hawaii to hopefully be integrated in the game more, but nooooo. All the people I was with weren't interested in that. Poo.

Post Asteria blues got you down? Look at my profile to find an app for my new game! Game is protected against nuclear warfare and is also Sam-approved!! (And Stacy's my co-host so if you love her you have to at least take a look.)

End of shameless self-promotion.

I'm not a stranger! Yay! :)

I think it makes it more fun to talk sometimes instead of type. I really only talked to Matty and Jamie during the game, though, with a few conferences here and there.

Then Tyler bashed Katie for the next hour for being the person who told you?

omggggg...I remember that night. rofl.

And I did blame it all on Katie, and it was TOTALLY me. I called Pat and told him Jamie was talking smack (I didn't know he was going to come in and go all Real-World on her ass though) You could have cut the tension of that conference call (Me, Matt, Pat, Katie, Jai) with a friggin' KNIFE.

I didn't really think about cell phone stuff during the game at all because I didn't really grasp how much of it was going on. Nobody really told me. =) But now that I think about it in context I bet it had a gigantic effect on how the game went... and how like by not hearing these conversations I missed like 20% of the game. O_O Then again I would have gone mad if I tried to listen to everyone because I always already spending 2 hours a day on the game lol.


Makes me realize how much even the host of the game (who is supposed to know everything) can miss and be totally unaware of. Shhh... don't tell anyone that or I'll lose my air of omniscience! :)


Also reading these Pre-Game confessionals is so great. =) Seeing the whole game in context from half a year away really casts things in a different light.

I always tried to recap the conversations, but it was soooo hard to do sometimes, and it's impossible to remember everything.
