Introduction - Yeah, That's About All It Is
Sirens Allure: Hey Mike
Nightdreammare: Hey!
Sirens Allure: This is Jamie, from Asteria. I swear I'm not some random stranger stalking you...
Nightdreammare: glad to finally talk to someone new, heh
Sirens Allure: I know, lol
Sirens Allure: Well.. I am some random stranger stalking you, but I promise I'm harmless
Nightdreammare: fair enough
Sirens Allure: Excellent, heh
Nightdreammare: must say I was surprised to see you out, but your explanation there made sense
Sirens Allure: So you were a casualty of... Yupik or Bajau?
Nightdreammare: Yupik
Sirens Allure: Ah, yes, well I was surprised too :/
Nightdreammare: JUST before the merge, bah
Sirens Allure: I know, I never got to meet you, lol
Nightdreammare: yeah, same with the other zazas, just never ran into each other on the map
Sirens Allure: I actually really have to bounce, gotta make a few errands, but I just wanted to drop a line and do the "hey, what's up, I'm Jamie" thing so to get the awkward part out of the way
Nightdreammare: yeah, absolulely
Sirens Allure: ::hugs:: Nice to meet you
Nightdreammare: same here, I'm working in the afternoon but I should be back on tonight
Sirens Allure: Hopefully we'll get to chat more then!
Two - Tellling Her to Her Face. It Might Just Win Me the Challenge
Nightdreammare: HI there
Sirens Allure: Heyla
Nightdreammare: well, the gang's all here in the outcast tribe
Sirens Allure: And soon all but one will move on to LL.
Nightdreammare: yeah, I'm just glad to have made the challenge here and have a shot
Sirens Allure: Moi aussi, lol
Nightdreammare: you're heading to Paris soon?
Sirens Allure: Yessir, on Friday.
Sirens Allure: Totally excited.
Nightdreammare: haha, I would be to. sounds like a hell of an opportunity. Have you been before?
Sirens Allure: I've only been to GReece. First time to Paris!
Nightdreammare: haha, lucky anyways
Nightdreammare: how long will you be there for?
Sirens Allure: Just a week, but its gonna be great
Sirens Allure: We're staying at my cousin's rental appartment, 'cause she fixes up appartments to sale or rental? Its great. Internet, phone, you name it, hehe
Nightdreammare: ah, sounds great
Sirens Allure: Should be a blast!
Nightdreammare: definitely. Haha, wish I could get over to Europe sometime
Sirens Allure: Ever been there?
Nightdreammare: nah. Just around Canada/US
Sirens Allure: I gotta go to the gym.. back in an hour <3
Sirens Allure is away at 10:39:29 PM.
Sirens Allure returned at 11:49:08 PM.
Nightdreammare: Hey there
Sirens Allure: Hey sugar
Nightdreammare: haha
Sirens Allure: What?
Nightdreammare: just found that a bit funny, that's all
Sirens Allure: Oh :
es::
Nightdreammare: coming on a bit strong, aren't ya?
Sirens Allure: I don't think I quite know what ya mean?
Nightdreammare: nah, just the "sugar" bit
Sirens Allure: I always use sugar, sorry if it bothers ya?
Nightdreammare: no no, not at all
Nightdreammare: So was it Tyler and Matteo that got you out, then?
Sirens Allure: Yes
Sirens Allure: It wasn't pleasant either.
Nightdreammare: yeah, seems to be a common theme, heh
Sirens Allure: So I've gathered.
Nightdreammare: yeah, were you blindsided then?
Sirens Allure: Big time. Basically it went from Tyler and I talking on the phone daily, to me receiving 6 votes.
Nightdreammare: ouch. I don't really think I'd ever want to play with people I talk on the phone with, for that reason, heh.
Nightdreammare: I actually hadn't played in any games for over a year until Sam dragged me back
Sirens Allure: That seems to be a common theme I'm hearing.
Nightdreammare: Yeah, either that or people who had played a lot are taking long breaks after this
Sirens Allure: I'm returning to simply being a Host.
Nightdreammare: It is fun though, so I might stick around for another game or two. I couldn't handle playing more than one game at a time like a lot of people do
Nightdreammare: Yeah, I checked out your website
Sirens Allure: Ugh, when I first started playing I had like 3 games at once. Never. Again.
Sirens Allure: Really? Whatcha think?
Nightdreammare: liked it. I just glanced at the games pretty much, but the main page is really well done and I liked the layout of your new games
Sirens Allure: ::curtsies: Merci.
Sirens Allure: I do a little web design on the side. Hobby 'o mine.
Nightdreammare: cool
Nightdreammare: ready for the challenge tomorrow, then?
Sirens Allure: I am! Doubt I'll make it back in, but looking forward to it
Sirens Allure: What about you?
Nightdreammare: yeah, definitely excited
Sirens Allure: I'm wicked nervous though.
Nightdreammare: haha, yeah
Sirens Allure: Like I just dread being the first out of the stupid thing, lol
Nightdreammare: I know. I mean, realistically, we know you're at a bit of a disadvantage there, but then again, anything can happen
Sirens Allure: :
s:: Its that obvious? 
Sirens Allure: At least someone had the balls to say it to my face, lol.
Nightdreammare: Yeah, I mean, you've obviously been around this scene a long time, you know how it is.
Sirens Allure: Why does everyone say that about me? :
es head::
Nightdreammare: I mean, Annette and Patrick are just a bit bitter about getting voted out, it's the kind of thing that passes. haha, Annette said it was like the third time you did that to her
Sirens Allure: ::counts:: That would've been #3.
Sirens Allure: No no.. that's #2. She voted me out once.
Nightdreammare: aha, so that drops one from your total
Sirens Allure: I really hadn't been keeping count :/
Nightdreammare: yeah, it happens though. Patrick did it to me long, long ago when we were still on GameFAQs, and I did it to Lexie back in Andes.
Sirens Allure: Yeah, I'm returning to hosting after this, lol
Sirens Allure: Its too small a community for me.
Nightdreammare: that's one thing I've definitely found when I came back for this game, so many people know each other
Sirens Allure: In this particular group it wasn't so bad for me. But I was just in a game and got eaten alive becuase people knew me.
Sirens Allure: Either knew me previously or by reputation.
Nightdreammare: Yeah. Then again, being the new kid can work against you too when you're in a tribe with people who knew each other *points to Yupik*
Sirens Allure: I dunno how many of them knew each other though...
Sirens Allure: Will, Lynne and Kevin - the core - never even were in games together.
Nightdreammare: Yeah, but I just can't say it's a coincidence that the three from Sam's core games just happened to immediately pick each other randomly for their alliance
Sirens Allure: No, probably not, but its not like what I had to face off against
Sirens Allure: The pairs twist?
Nightdreammare: Ah, so he put the pairs together like that on purpose?
Sirens Allure: Uhuh.
Sirens Allure: Took close pairs from respective seasons and split them up, put the two tribes within a week's traveling of each other... Scott/me, Josh/Kem, Annette/Mark, Tori/Ethan and Katie/Pat
Sirens Allure: I never even got to see Scott.
Nightdreammare: Ah, how devious of him
Sirens Allure: ::shakes fist at Sam::
Nightdreammare: And our tribe was the one with all the newbies and Andes people, anything special about Lisu and Ovambo you know about?
Sirens Allure: My tribe was given a subtitle of "second chance", I never questioned the others.
Nightdreammare: Hmm, don't think we got a subtitle
Sirens Allure: If I still had access to Anasazi I'd look it up.
Nightdreammare: yeah, I'd like to go back and check out the old posts where everyone's talking about how great a tribe we are and all that fluff, haha. Maybe I could go back and change the mistakes I made at the start of the game, but alas
Sirens Allure: Oh, I know mine.
Sirens Allure: Lost my two best allies because of 'em.
Sirens Allure: One after another ::tear::
Nightdreammare: Yeah, same here. Way back at the start I had Tilghman and Laurel and we were really tight, but we never got our fourth because I didn't feel comfortable approaching Lexie about it till after Tilghman went and it was too late
Sirens Allure: Ouch, heh.
Nightdreammare: and the only other person besides Kev/Will/Lynne was newbie Matt, and ARGH! is all I can say about him, haha
Sirens Allure: Well I would've preferred to been on your tirbe at the start
Nightdreammare: yeah, I think everyone who's been voted out feels that way, myself included. If only they'd been on another tribe
Sirens Allure: Not any tribe. I think I would've only survived your's or Lisu.
Nightdreammare: ah. Guess we'll never know
Sirens Allure: That's the problem with IFs.
Nightdreammare: IF?
Sirens Allure: if?
Nightdreammare: er sorry, don't know what that stands for, haha
Sirens Allure: The wordif?
Sirens Allure: if.. like if I were a man...?
Nightdreammare: oh, hahahah
Nightdreammare: sorry, I thought you used IF to stand for something because it was capitalized
Sirens Allure: No, lol
Nightdreammare: some hip online survivor internet lingo, I'm sorry, I'm clearly a moron, haha
Sirens Allure: But I'm not a man, FYI.
Sirens Allure: 100% real woman here. I promise.
Nightdreammare: I'll trust ya there
Sirens Allure: lol
Nightdreammare: anyways, I'm gonna get off for the night
Sirens Allure: Aww, alright honey, sweet dreams.
Sirens Allure: See you tomorrow and good luck!
Nightdreammare: yeah, same to you
Sirens Allure: Hey Mike
