A Real Conversation with Lexie. It's a start, at Least

Nightdreammare: got a sec, lexie?
NoAngelFroggy: yes i do
NoAngelFroggy: whats up?
Nightdreammare: just wanted to say congrats for getting past the vote
NoAngelFroggy: haha, thanks...to no thanks to you eh? :-P
Nightdreammare: because I voted for you, wanted to get that out in the open, but it was only because it was you or tilghman
NoAngelFroggy: its ok
Nightdreammare: ok, cool
Nightdreammare: and I don't think we need to worry about this one
NoAngelFroggy: me neither. i hope that went well
NoAngelFroggy: i just really like everyone in our tribe. i hope we can win a few more and stay together
Nightdreammare: same here, especially if we can merge with another tribe or something and pick them off
NoAngelFroggy: i agree
NoAngelFroggy: have you talked to any of the lisu people at all?
Nightdreammare: just a couple, aaron, and chuck and eric for a bit
NoAngelFroggy: are they nice/interesting?
NoAngelFroggy: i haven't had a chance
Nightdreammare: meh, not that much
Nightdreammare: aaron's the only guy that's willing to talk about much beyond pleasantries, everyone else is being tightlipped
NoAngelFroggy: of course
NoAngelFroggy: how many people do you think are even in this game?
NoAngelFroggy: i mean...there must be a lot if sam is mowing through people every tribal council
Nightdreammare: I'm guessing 6 tribes
NoAngelFroggy: of 8 each? wow
Nightdreammare: nah, some are smaller
Nightdreammare: lisu met another tribe that had five people on it and is down to three now
NoAngelFroggy: oh wow 3? yikes!
NoAngelFroggy: i'm pretty impressed we've only lost one. hopefully it'll stay like that for a while
Nightdreammare: yeah, we can pull the same deal we did in andes
Nightdreammare: lose one early, ride all the way to the final 7!
Nightdreammare: probably overly optimistic, but whatever
NoAngelFroggy: haha, probably...but that would be great
NoAngelFroggy: have you been in any/many of these since andes?
Nightdreammare: played for awhile after, but i havent' played in any games in like a year or more
NoAngelFroggy: yea me neither
NoAngelFroggy: i don't thinkyou were from it, but in andes there were so many people from that gamefaqs place
NoAngelFroggy: and there was just so much nastiness revolving around those people
NoAngelFroggy: this game has been so much more fun
Nightdreammare: you can imagine how surprised I was to see you here, heh
NoAngelFroggy: i mean, i'm sure it'll get crazy eventually, but hopefully not like that
NoAngelFroggy: haha, i imagine so :-)
Nightdreammare: yeah
NoAngelFroggy: i was pretty surprised i even decided to do it again
NoAngelFroggy: anyways, i really have to go to sleep...work early tomorrow
NoAngelFroggy: have a good night tho, we'll have to chat soon
Nightdreammare: yeah, it was good to talk to you though
Nightdreammare: see ya
NoAngelFroggy: byebye

Patting ourselves on the back with Kevin

l3tterstoy0u: great job last night mike
Nightdreammare: yeah thanks, yuo too
l3tterstoy0u: Lisu won too
l3tterstoy0u: i just asked chuck
Nightdreammare: well, then at least we won as well
l3tterstoy0u: we can kick there asses some other time
l3tterstoy0u: lol
Nightdreammare: been thinking, when we're talking with lisu members
Nightdreammare: we shouldnt make our tribe out to look too strong or anything
l3tterstoy0u: yeah i know
l3tterstoy0u: i'm just like "eh yupik is ok"
Nightdreammare: yeah, otherwise we become bigger targets than we already are
l3tterstoy0u: Yeah, we cant expose our achilees heel
Nightdreammare: of course, I don't think the other tribe has that much interest in us, so...
l3tterstoy0u: hey sorry about what lynne said last night..i dont know what was up with her
l3tterstoy0u: she seemed bitchy
Nightdreammare: meh, that's just her, she's still a fratgirl and I know the type
l3tterstoy0u: she needs to cool it
l3tterstoy0u: lol
Nightdreammare: anyways we've got a while till the next challenge
l3tterstoy0u: a very long while
l3tterstoy0u: lol
l3tterstoy0u: im jus tso ecstatic we won though
Nightdreammare: we should just keep looking around and try to find other tribes
l3tterstoy0u: we did amzazing
l3tterstoy0u: yep!
Nightdreammare: I've got to get to class pretty soon so I'm going to get off now
l3tterstoy0u: oh okay mike
l3tterstoy0u: take ti easy bud
Nightdreammare: see ya

January 13

All about Gemstones and Lisu with Kevin

Nightdreammare: hey kev
l3tterstoy0u: Hey Mike, whats up? Long time no talk.
Nightdreammare: yeah, it's inventory time at work
Nightdreammare: argh, I'll be very glad and relieved after Monday
l3tterstoy0u: ugh...that sounds like a barrel of fun
l3tterstoy0u: haha
Nightdreammare: yeah, laugh it up;-)
l3tterstoy0u: I feel so out of the loop, haha. I never talk to anyone from this game it seems.
l3tterstoy0u: The week is going slowly.
Nightdreammare: seems a few people haven't been around much, like I said before it's sort of a slow week for the game
l3tterstoy0u: Yeah...taht's fine with me. I can ake it
l3tterstoy0u: haha
Nightdreammare: do you know what times you can make for the challenge?
l3tterstoy0u: Let me go check the thread
l3tterstoy0u: oh no, not the gemstones!
Nightdreammare: XD
Nightdreammare: I didn't play that game, is it evil?
l3tterstoy0u: YES!!! lol
l3tterstoy0u: its...its...THE GEMSTONES
l3tterstoy0u: *dies*
l3tterstoy0u: lol
Nightdreammare: so how exactly do you play the gemstones game?
l3tterstoy0u: Well, every so often...a gemstone will appear
l3tterstoy0u: and you have to battle for it with whoever else shows up at that time to win
Nightdreammare: yeah, reading the rules and I think I've got it
l3tterstoy0u: Its easy, but..just annoying.
l3tterstoy0u: :-P
Nightdreammare: tribe with most gemstones at the end wins?
l3tterstoy0u: Yep! I cant imagine how many tribes there are though
Nightdreammare: seems we've got an advantage because we've still got lots of people
l3tterstoy0u: Yeah we should have enough people to cover
Nightdreammare: like, if a tribe's only got a couple people left, they're screwed
l3tterstoy0u: I know, but we can pretty much cover every time.
Nightdreammare: hopefully
l3tterstoy0u: There are liek 5000 to battlef or
l3tterstoy0u: haha
l3tterstoy0u: Its still surreal to me taht its week 6 and all of us are still here.
Nightdreammare: yeah, we've only lost one challenge and we started as a pretty big tribe, I think there's a good chance we've got the most people of anyone left
l3tterstoy0u: I really hope Lisu loses this challenge.
Nightdreammare: same here, they've won three in a row so they're getting pretty strong
l3tterstoy0u: whatever, we'll knock em down a peg.
l3tterstoy0u: lol
Nightdreammare: talking with aaron right now on lisu
Nightdreammare: he says the other tribe (the one with only three people) lost the challenge, they've merged with another tribe now
l3tterstoy0u: eeeee
l3tterstoy0u: They don't seem to be doing too good over there
Nightdreammare: they merged with a tribe of five to make one of seven
l3tterstoy0u: I wonder who the tribe of 3 voted out
Nightdreammare: hard to say, especially not knowing who they are
l3tterstoy0u: Yeah...I can't imagine taht though, having to vote someone off in a 3 person tribe?
l3tterstoy0u: hey im gonna go to bed mike
l3tterstoy0u: take care.
l3tterstoy0u:
Nightdreammare: ok cool

Yawn. Nothing interesting with Will

Nightdreammare: Hey Will!
wazzle19: mike!!! hows it going man?
Nightdreammare: not too badly, i guess
Nightdreammare: no fun for me this weekend, inventory time at work
wazzle19: i hear that, im working all freakin weekend too :-\. i made a post in our tribe forum detailing my predicament.
Nightdreammare: yeah, hopefully the rest of the tribe will be able to make it up on Sat.

wazzle19: yeah me too, i feel shitty for not being able to help out for this one
wazzle19: oh well what can u do
wazzle19: not going out tonight?
Nightdreammare: nah, working tomorrow and I'm already going out Saturday night
wazzle19: nice, this is the first week where i havent gone out, but it is actually kind of nice to stay at home and chill out lol. ive seen a lot of movies this week though.
Nightdreammare: yeah, I'm always renting movies for nights I'm not going out, I'm a film guy more than TV
wazzle19: im trying to read a lot more and cut out movies/tv, but its so tempting to just veg out and do nothing but watch something lol
Nightdreammare: it actually seems we've got an advantage for this challenge because we've got a lot of people in our tribe
wazzle19: thats a good point, minus me of course :-\. but we still have 6 and that seems to be a decent amount.
wazzle19: i just want us to win one and have lisu lose at least one more person so we have a significant numbers advantage over them
Nightdreammare: same here, they've won three challenges in a row so they're gonna be tough
wazzle19: the other tribes must be sucking real bad if us and lisu keep winning everything
Nightdreammare: yeah, we've only lost one challenge and we started as a pretty big tribe, we've got to have the most people of anyone left
Nightdreammare: and yeah, someone's got to be losing these challenges constantly if it's not us or them
wazzle19: im really proud of us. i think we must have the most random group of ppl on our tribe yet we've managed to work so well together despite not knowing anyone at all on our tribe basically.
Nightdreammare: yeah, I think sam did that on purpose, put all the people who hadn't played the game before and from his precursor game together in one tribe
wazzle19: ya i think so too, cause i havent followed these other games after mine. i had to follow wonderland a bit only bc i wrote the episodes at the beginning but that only last a few episodes lol
wazzle19: and i dont know if kevin or lynne had kept in touch or chatted with ppl either
wazzle19: im gonna get off the computer so ill ttyl mike, have a good night :-)
Nightdreammare: yeah, you too
wazzle19 signed off at 9:42:13 PM.

Feeling out what Aaron thinks.

Nightdreammare: hey there!
FRoZeNpIzZa16: hi
Nightdreammare: how's the lisu tribe doing?
FRoZeNpIzZa16: okay.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: just chilling
Nightdreammare: same here
Nightdreammare: you guys won the last challenge, right?
FRoZeNpIzZa16: yeah.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: God, I have no idea what this challenge is about
FRoZeNpIzZa16: (tommorow's)
Nightdreammare: yeah, I've never done the gemstones either
FRoZeNpIzZa16: I think I -kind of- get it.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: But not really.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: I guess you have to hold the gemstone the longest, I think.
Nightdreammare: it's the fact that you only get three posts that's the real evil part of the game
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Yeah.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Heh.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Man, the weather here has been weird. The temperature dropped 10 degrees in a hour and about 25 in the whole day.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: It went from hot rain to basically snow now
Nightdreammare: where are you at again?
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Southern Indiana
FRoZeNpIzZa16: The world is prolly ending =\
Nightdreammare: yeah, those apocalypic sudden weather changes:-D
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Yeah.
Nightdreammare: do you know if that other tribe you met lost the last challenge?
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Yep.
FRoZeNpIzZa16: They lost.
Nightdreammare: so they're down to two now?
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Nope, they already merged with another tribe.
Nightdreammare: ah, I wondered when they'd do that
Nightdreammare: any idea on the size of the tribe they merged with?
FRoZeNpIzZa16: There at 7 people all together now
FRoZeNpIzZa16: So, yeah, do the math :-P
Nightdreammare: looks like everyone's starting to come together a bit, should be interesting
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Yeah, it definately should be.
Nightdreammare: you know, if lisu and yupik merged and went to war with another tribe, we might be really tough to beat
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Perhaps. But statistically right now we're both better off not merging
Nightdreammare: yeah, for the tribes as a whole at least
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Down the line I'm sure our paths will cross :-)
Nightdreammare: yeah, just hoping to be there when that happens
Nightdreammare: I'll ttyl, got to go now
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Alright!
FRoZeNpIzZa16: Seeya.

January 14 - The Downfall of Yupik the "Love" Tribe

Challege not going well - Strategy with Lexie

Nightdreammare: hey lexie
NoAngelFroggy: hey mike, how are you?
Nightdreammare: not too bad, I'll only be on for the next 20 minutes or so before I head out
NoAngelFroggy: oooh, head out eh? ;-) fun
NoAngelFroggy: have you tried the challenge at all today?
Nightdreammare: yeah, just once
Nightdreammare: didn't get anything, but hopefully I'll have the hang of it and maybe get a couple tomorrow morning
Nightdreammare: you tried any?
NoAngelFroggy: i didn't either when i tried :-\ it was pretty hard
NoAngelFroggy: i kept on posting at (i THOUGHT) like :58
NoAngelFroggy: but i also kept losing
NoAngelFroggy: haha, have we won at all?
Nightdreammare: just one
NoAngelFroggy: yikes
NoAngelFroggy: well, maybe theres one tribe that won nothing? :-)
Nightdreammare: yeah, I know
Nightdreammare: but there's two tribes that have been winning almost all of them
NoAngelFroggy: i figured as much. it seemed like there are only 3 other ones though, right?
Nightdreammare: so far, only four have shown up, which might be bad news for us
NoAngelFroggy: yep...cause we'd have to do better than 2 i guess
NoAngelFroggy: i wonder if we can even win when looking at the facts :-\
Nightdreammare: we can come back, but we'd need to win a bunch in the morning and overnight and hope that one of the two tribes crumbles a but
Nightdreammare: bit
NoAngelFroggy: sort of an out there chance, huh? :-)
NoAngelFroggy: is there one going on right now?
Nightdreammare: yeah, but it can happen
Nightdreammare: Yeah, Laurel's going for it
NoAngelFroggy: ok, cool
Nightdreammare: hate to ask
NoAngelFroggy: is she doing the one in 15 minutes too? i can take a chance at it. but if she wants it, but she should go for it since shes one won
NoAngelFroggy: won one
Nightdreammare: any idea who you might vote for if we do lose?
Nightdreammare: don't know if she's doing the next one, have to ask her
NoAngelFroggy: i don't know to be honest. i was really hoping we wouldn't even have to
NoAngelFroggy: but this challenge isn't looking like its going so weel
Nightdreammare: same here, I've got no one I want to go after and no feeling on what the tribe's going to do just yet
NoAngelFroggy: i figured i would probably go with whatever the "tribe" feels should go. after the last one i don't feel like sticking myself out there...to be completely honest
NoAngelFroggy: yea, i don't know what everyone is thinking either
NoAngelFroggy: i never get a chance to talk to matt or lynne. i swear they must NEVER be online
Nightdreammare: I've talked with Matt, Lynne a lot less so
NoAngelFroggy: i just don't like it cause i think everyone contributes pretty much to the challenges lately
NoAngelFroggy: do you think anyone sticks out at all?
Nightdreammare: *sigh*, the only name that I've heard mentioned at all has been Laurel, but I DO NOT want to do that unless I have absolutely, positively no other choice
Nightdreammare: other than that, I definitely think I'm a bit of a target myself
NoAngelFroggy: to be honest, i haven't heard you at all. maybe a little the first week, but not this time
NoAngelFroggy: i've heard laurel too. and i've chatted with her more lately and have really liked getting to know her
Nightdreammare: anyone stick out to you?
NoAngelFroggy: not really
NoAngelFroggy: like i said, i just don't want to stick out myself this round
NoAngelFroggy: i definitely wouldn't vote for kevin or will tho, if thats the kind of question you're trying to ask :-)
Nightdreammare: I don't think you will, I can't see myself voting you, or anyone else really
Nightdreammare: nah, I wouldn't want them either
NoAngelFroggy: haha...who would yooou want? ;-)
Nightdreammare: yeah yeah, the head-on question
Nightdreammare: If I were voting just on my own, I'd vote Lynne, there I said it
NoAngelFroggy: hahaha
NoAngelFroggy: unfortunately, you never can "vote alone" on survivor can you?
Nightdreammare: indeed
Nightdreammare: guess I got to ask you the same question
NoAngelFroggy: if i voted strictly by myself, i would maybe vote for matt. as i havent had the most convos with him
NoAngelFroggy: butttt...i'd deny ever saying that of course :-)
Nightdreammare: we all would, it would just be the evil other person trying to stir up trouble by telling lies
NoAngelFroggy: haha of course
NoAngelFroggy: i don't think lynne is going to vote for you tho, so don't worry on that
NoAngelFroggy: i think she wants laurel gone. but i haven't talked to her specifically
Nightdreammare: yeah, you can sort of see laurel as a target
Nightdreammare: the problem is that there's not much time between the end of the challenge and TC
NoAngelFroggy: i know, exactly
NoAngelFroggy: especially for me
NoAngelFroggy: i'm moving down to where i'm at for school tomorrow
NoAngelFroggy: so i'll be pretty busy
Nightdreammare: do you know if you'll be on at all tomorrow?
NoAngelFroggy: not much. maybe in the early afternoon and then at night
Nightdreammare: yeah, I'll only be able to get on in the morning and then late at night
NoAngelFroggy: hmm...well, i might be on in the morning
NoAngelFroggy: i actually have to run
NoAngelFroggy: but i'll try and tty tomorrow
Nightdreammare: ok, talk to you later then
NoAngelFroggy signed off at 11:29:32 PM.

Laurel - Vote with the tribe and the debut of Ovambo

Groovy Chik 02: hey!
Groovy Chik 02: I just did the 8:00
Nightdreammare: cool, how'd you do?
Groovy Chik 02: did you want to have a go at the 8:20?
Groovy Chik 02: uh, didn't get that one :-(
Groovy Chik 02: I got one earlier, though!
Nightdreammare: sure, i'll only be on for an hour or so, so I'll try a couple if i can
Groovy Chik 02: it looks like no one was on for two of them
Nightdreammare: so I've got to log on with the CERN name?
Groovy Chik 02: 8:20 is the only one until 10:00
Groovy Chik 02: yeah
Nightdreammare: will the gemstone topic just appear at 8:20?
Groovy Chik 02: it's in a thread already
Groovy Chik 02: he has them all posted
Groovy Chik 02: you have to find your time and compete in it
Nightdreammare: ah, got it
Nightdreammare: bah, blew my first one, but I've got the hang of it now
Groovy Chik 02: yeah, try to time it with seconds if you can
Groovy Chik 02: and save one to closer to the end when they have less
Nightdreammare: OK, i'm probably not winning this one
Groovy Chik 02: that's ok. We've been pretty consistent with the losing
Groovy Chik 02: :-(
Nightdreammare: well, I got one minute at least
Groovy Chik 02: yay!
Nightdreammare: got two minutes total, not nearly enough but I'll hopefully be able to win a few tomorrow morning
Groovy Chik 02: I'm sure you will
Groovy Chik 02: :-)
Groovy Chik 02 signed off at 9:40:27 PM.
Groovy Chik 02 signed on at 9:40:52 PM.
Groovy Chik 02 returned at 9:40:59 PM.
Groovy Chik 02: ok, adium crashes are annoying :-(
Nightdreammare: next one's not for like an hour then?
Groovy Chik 02: yeah it should be at 10 CST
Nightdreammare: any idea who you might vote for if we do lose?
Nightdreammare: still there? lol
Groovy Chik 02: oops, sorry. I didn't see you flashing
Groovy Chik 02: I'm all for voting for whoever everyone else wants to vote for, lol
Nightdreammare: yeah, I feel the same way, but I can't say I know who that is
Nightdreammare: it's pretty nervewracking
Groovy Chik 02: it really is
Nightdreammare: I'm just hoping I get a chance to talk to some of the others
Groovy Chik 02: me too... I'd like to avoid being in the dark this time around, lol
Nightdreammare: anyways, i've checked out the gemstones, and it looks like only four tribes are actually competing
Groovy Chik 02: yeah
Nightdreammare: and two tribes have pretty much dominated the game so far
Groovy Chik 02: yeah, they seem to have a pretty good system
Nightdreammare: so if there are four tribes left total, then we're in some trouble unless we can make it up in the morning
Groovy Chik 02: yeah...
Nightdreammare: i actually might be able to do the 10:00 one if you don't feel like it,
Nightdreammare: be back in ten minutes or so, though
Groovy Chik 02: ok!
Nightdreammare: hey
Groovy Chik 02: hey :-)
Nightdreammare: did matt talk to you at all?
Groovy Chik 02: yeah, he did
Nightdreammare: so do we know who's trying the next one?
Groovy Chik 02: looks like me or you
Groovy Chik 02: check my post in our campground for surprise!
Nightdreammare: whoa!
Nightdreammare: that just happen?
Groovy Chik 02: yesterday. He wanted to talk to me and wait for a time we could post at the same time to reveal
Groovy Chik 02: the situation on his tribe sounds very interesting... we might be able to work with it
Nightdreammare: what;s the skinny?
Groovy Chik 02: apparently there are some lines drawn, and people are feeling threatened
Groovy Chik 02: he wants our tribe to help him
Nightdreammare: how many people are on his tribe?

Groovy Chik 02: 6
Groovy Chik 02: I told him that chances are no one would go for it if we have to vote someone out this time
Nightdreammare: yeah, I don't think the rest of the tribe is too interested yet
Groovy Chik 02: it would be a good way to keep Yupik strong, though.. might be good to consider
Nightdreammare: I agree, I'd like to do a merge as soon as possible
Groovy Chik 02: me too
Groovy Chik 02: brb
Groovy Chik 02 is away at 10:48:59 PM.
Groovy Chik 02 returned at 10:52:45 PM.
Groovy Chik 02: ok, back
Groovy Chik 02: so do you want the 10 or shall I do it?
Nightdreammare: you can give it a shot if you want, you're the only one to win one so far and I can go for the morning ones
Groovy Chik 02: ok
Groovy Chik 02: :-)
Nightdreammare: good luck
Groovy Chik 02: thanks
Groovy Chik 02: I THINK I GOT IT!!!
Nightdreammare: awesome!
Groovy Chik 02: it was another tie, lol
Groovy Chik 02: do you want to try for the next one?
Nightdreammare: Lexie's on right now, she might want to try
Groovy Chik 02: lemme ask
Groovy Chik 02: she thinks I should do it, lol
Nightdreammare: hey, go for it!
Groovy Chik 02: I'll try :-\
Groovy Chik 02: darn... lost it by a second ><
Nightdreammare: ah, close though
Nightdreammare: well, I've got to get off
Nightdreammare: good luck if you decide to go for any of the other ones tonight, and hopefully we can win a few
Nightdreammare: see you tomorrow

Meeting Jose - The first to talk jumping ship

Nightdreammare: Hey there?
AmyleeisseXii: Hello? Mike? :-P
Nightdreammare: that's right!
Nightdreammare: you must be Jose
AmyleeisseXii: Cool :0
AmyleeisseXii: Yes
AmyleeisseXii: nice to meet you
Nightdreammare: same here
Nightdreammare: your tribe is Ovambo?
AmyleeisseXii: That's correct
AmyleeisseXii: You're Yupik, right?
Nightdreammare: right as rain
AmyleeisseXii: Niiice :-)
Nightdreammare: you'd be the second tribe we've met up with
AmyleeisseXii: This is so cool :-P
AmyleeisseXii: Really?!
AmyleeisseXii: Oh wow
AmyleeisseXii: You're the first we have met up with
Nightdreammare: heh, you guys've been on your own for a bit
AmyleeisseXii: Yeah we have :-\
AmyleeisseXii: it was getting really annoying too :-P
Nightdreammare: how many people do you have?
AmyleeisseXii: 6
AmyleeisseXii: I know you have 7
Nightdreammare: yeah
AmyleeisseXii: yeahhh :-P
Nightdreammare: started with 8, lost one
Nightdreammare: you?
AmyleeisseXii: Oh wow
AmyleeisseXii: Started with 10
AmyleeisseXii: LOL
Nightdreammare: lol, we knew there was going to be at least one big tribe
AmyleeisseXii: lol
AmyleeisseXii: who else is on your tribe?
AmyleeisseXii: other than Laurel Kevin W and Lexi
Nightdreammare: let's see, Lynne, Will, and Matt
Nightdreammare: you guys?
AmyleeisseXii: Tyler, Jen, Lew, Matt, Garrey, myself
Nightdreammare: how are you doing this challenge, you think?
AmyleeisseXii: What do you mean? The immunity right now?
Nightdreammare: yeah, no problem if you don't want to say
AmyleeisseXii: Oh I dont mind. I think we have like 4 or something
AmyleeisseXii: how about you/
Nightdreammare: not that well, hoping to come back in the last half
AmyleeisseXii: Oh :-\
AmyleeisseXii: good luck :-)
Nightdreammare: which of sam's games are you from?
AmyleeisseXii: Paradise
AmyleeisseXii: you?
Nightdreammare: andes
Nightdreammare: waaaaaay back in sam's history, heh
AmyleeisseXii: lol
AmyleeisseXii: cool
AmyleeisseXii: So who did you guys vote out when you lost
Nightdreammare: Tilghman, he was a new player
AmyleeisseXii: Oh okay
AmyleeisseXii: We voted out 3, and one was kicked out
Nightdreammare: that guy that got kicked out was from your tribe?
Nightdreammare: XD
AmyleeisseXii: yes
AmyleeisseXii: It was so sad when i happened though
AmyleeisseXii: He was like our most active
Nightdreammare: yeah, must suck to lose someone just like that
AmyleeisseXii: yeah
AmyleeisseXii: And we voted out Erik, Jake, and Valerie
Nightdreammare: how is your tribe, you think?
AmyleeisseXii: It's wierd...
AmyleeisseXii: It's sort of divided, but not really.
AmyleeisseXii: I can't explain it.
AmyleeisseXii: I just know that if we lose this IC, it will either be myself or Garrey that will be voted out
Nightdreammare: yeah, I think our tribe is sort of the same
AmyleeisseXii: :-\
AmyleeisseXii: You guys seem like a strong tribe though, you started with 8 but only lost 1 so far
AmyleeisseXii: :-P
Nightdreammare: yeah, we've gotten lucky at a couple of the challenges, good for us, so far
AmyleeisseXii: Yeah.
Nightdreammare: what do you think your tribe would think about a merge or something like that?
AmyleeisseXii: I'm not sure.. I know I want to merge. I was hoping that if we do merge, that Yupik would be looking for someone to jump ship and help get rid of my tribe, and I'd definitely be that person.
AmyleeisseXii: But I'm not sure about the rest.
AmyleeisseXii: I know I want to merge though
Nightdreammare: I know a couple people here want to merge, but there's others that don't
AmyleeisseXii: yeah
Nightdreammare: if we did merge, I can say that your idea would probably go down without a hitch, though
AmyleeisseXii: that's cool :-P
AmyleeisseXii: I hope it happens.
AmyleeisseXii: :-P
Nightdreammare: we'll probably have to wait until this challenge is over, depending on what happens
AmyleeisseXii: yeah.
Nightdreammare: if we do happen to lose this one, we might be more willing to merge
AmyleeisseXii: Nice. Laurel told me the opposite :-P
Nightdreammare: well, no way to know for sure, but again, we'll have to wait and see
AmyleeisseXii: right
AmyleeisseXii: soo. Who was on that other tribe you met?
Nightdreammare: oh hey, they're called lisu, got six people
AmyleeisseXii: oh cool
Nightdreammare: names, hold on
AmyleeisseXii: okay thanks
Nightdreammare: aaron, chuck, ryan, stacey, doug, eric b
Nightdreammare: they're a boring tribe, they don't want to do anything really
AmyleeisseXii: lol
AmyleeisseXii: that suucks
Nightdreammare: anyways, I've got to get off now, hopefully we can talk after this challenge and see what can happen
AmyleeisseXii: okay cool
AmyleeisseXii: it was nice meeting you
AmyleeisseXii: :-)
AmyleeisseXii: ttyl
Nightdreammare: same here, see ya

WiLDSHocK: haha
WiLDSHocK: WHAT?
Nightdreammare: huh>
WiLDSHocK: lol the person who's doing this.. isn't doing things that make sense
WiLDSHocK: wasting the last post

TequillaBurrito: it's Tyler...from Ovambo
Nightdreammare: hey there
TequillaBurrito: whats up
TequillaBurrito: your Mike...right?
Nightdreammare: yep
TequillaBurrito: cool cool
Nightdreammare: how's it going?
TequillaBurrito: good
TequillaBurrito: ready for this challenge to be over.
TequillaBurrito: lol
Nightdreammare: yeah, same here
Nightdreammare: this is the first meeting for you guys?
TequillaBurrito: yepp
TequillaBurrito: you?
Nightdreammare: met one other tribe so far
TequillaBurrito: cool cool
Nightdreammare: which of sam's games you from?
TequillaBurrito: Wonderland
TequillaBurrito: you?
Nightdreammare: Andes
TequillaBurrito: cool
Nightdreammare: yeah, going waaaaay back in time there
TequillaBurrito: hahaha
TequillaBurrito: how did you do?
Nightdreammare: played as Amy in that game and got 2nd, pretty much everyone was an alias cause that's the way we did things back then, lol
TequillaBurrito: hahaha
TequillaBurrito: cool
Nightdreammare: you did one better than that, of course
TequillaBurrito: stupid aim
TequillaBurrito: what was the last thing you said after you played as Amy?
Nightdreammare: just that you did one better than me, it seems;-)
TequillaBurrito: hahahah
TequillaBurrito: yea
TequillaBurrito: I wish I could play as an alias
TequillaBurrito: I just have trouble keeping up with stuff
TequillaBurrito: haha
Nightdreammare: how's your tribe done so far?
TequillaBurrito: Excuse my internet
TequillaBurrito: its being a bitch today
Nightdreammare: no prob, heh
TequillaBurrito: everytime the home phone rings, it shuts off for some reason
TequillaBurrito: haha
Nightdreammare: ah, that sucks
TequillaBurrito: so if I sign off unexpectedly, thats why
TequillaBurrito: haha
TequillaBurrito: so, are you excited for Exile Island???
Nightdreammare: heh, I usually work thursday nights so I can't catch it as much anymore, but I'll watch it when I can
TequillaBurrito: aww
TequillaBurrito: haha
Nightdreammare: how's your tribe done so far?
TequillaBurrito: lmao.
TequillaBurrito: we won the first challenge
TequillaBurrito: then went to 4 TC's in a row.
Nightdreammare: yeah, I heard the guy that got kicked out was in your tribe
TequillaBurrito: yea...
TequillaBurrito: Hector
TequillaBurrito: haha
Nightdreammare: I knew the guy from an old website, he IMd me before the game started but I didn't say anything
TequillaBurrito: im so bored
TequillaBurrito: hahaha
TequillaBurrito: he IMd EVERYONE apparently.
Nightdreammare: could be worse, I know one tribe that started with five people, and went down to two,
TequillaBurrito: wow!
TequillaBurrito: in this game?
Nightdreammare: yeah, don't know who they are though, the other tribe we met had me them
Nightdreammare: I think the two-person tribe ended up merging with another one
TequillaBurrito: wow.
TequillaBurrito: thats crazy
Nightdreammare: so there's either four or five tribes left in the game
TequillaBurrito: I would say 5
TequillaBurrito: but thats just a guess
TequillaBurrito: sohows Yupik?
TequillaBurrito: so hows*
TequillaBurrito: It must be nice winning all the time :-P
Nightdreammare: yeah, we've gotten lucky at a couple
Nightdreammare: the tension sets in when you go a while where you're winning
TequillaBurrito: haha
TequillaBurrito: yea I can see that
TequillaBurrito: like Koror
TequillaBurrito: I think they were all ready to vote people out
TequillaBurrito: we got pretty lucky too
TequillaBurrito: one guy quit
TequillaBurrito: and then Hector was removed
TequillaBurrito: so I guess technically we have only voted two people out
Nightdreammare: yeah, the guy we voted out was on vacation in hawaii for a couple weeks, so he was an easy vote
TequillaBurrito: haha
TequillaBurrito: wow
Nightdreammare: would you guys be interested in combining maps to start?
TequillaBurrito: what does that mean
TequillaBurrito: I havent read the rules and such
Nightdreammare: basically, sam just makes a big map that combines both tribes together
TequillaBurrito: oh
TequillaBurrito: yea
TequillaBurrito: that sounds cool
TequillaBurrito: bigger the better
Nightdreammare: so who else is on your tribe again?
TequillaBurrito: Me, Matt, Jose, Jen, Lew, Garrey
Nightdreammare: yep, I don't know any of them, lol
TequillaBurrito: haha
Nightdreammare: I figured I'd be the only player from my game, but I was wrong there, so who knows?
TequillaBurrito: haha
TequillaBurrito: yea
TequillaBurrito: is Lexie from Andes?
Nightdreammare: yeah, she was probably the only one using her real name back then'
TequillaBurrito: loool
TequillaBurrito: who won Andes?
Nightdreammare: someone named samatha (alias), who's never been seen since
TequillaBurrito: hahaha
TequillaBurrito: wow
TequillaBurrito: thats odd
Nightdreammare: yeah, it was a long time ago, but who knows who else sam managed to dig up?
TequillaBurrito: hahaha
TequillaBurrito: yea
TequillaBurrito: for all we know, there could have been 50 playing
TequillaBurrito: haha
Nightdreammare: there's a hell of a lot, that's for sure
TequillaBurrito: yea
Nightdreammare: by my count, if there are 4 tribes, 26 people are still here
TequillaBurrito: yikes
TequillaBurrito: thats alot
TequillaBurrito: haha
Nightdreammare: us, you, the other tribe we met has 6 people, and the other tribe that merged together has 7
TequillaBurrito: isnt that 25?
Nightdreammare: hmm, 7+6+7+6
Nightdreammare: think that's 26
TequillaBurrito: oh, I thought you meant three of 6
TequillaBurrito: and one of 7
Nightdreammare: yeah, us and the mystery tribe has 7
TequillaBurrito: oh ok
Nightdreammare: you guys and Lisu (the other tribe we met) have 6
TequillaBurrito: cool
TequillaBurrito: Whoever wins this game will most certainly deserve it
Nightdreammare: yeah, I think so
TequillaBurrito: unless someone Ambers there way to the end
Nightdreammare: what would you guys think about a merge or anything like that?
TequillaBurrito: im not really sure
TequillaBurrito: haha
TequillaBurrito: 7-6
TequillaBurrito: we could be Pagonged
TequillaBurrito: and I wanna talk to everyone on Ovambo
Nightdreammare: yeah, have to wait until after this challenge to see what happens
TequillaBurrito: yea
TequillaBurrito: is your tribe pretty active?
Nightdreammare: pretty much, it's not that thrilling but we've gotten the job done
TequillaBurrito: haha
TequillaBurrito: yea
Nightdreammare: but with our tribe, not everyone will say this but I don't think the pagonging would necessarily happen
TequillaBurrito: really?
Nightdreammare: don't want to say too much just yet, after this challenge we'll have a better idea
TequillaBurrito: yea
TequillaBurrito: understandable
Nightdreammare: anyways, I've got to take off for a bit, be back on in an hour or so if you're still there
TequillaBurrito: haha
TequillaBurrito: im sure I will be
TequillaBurrito: later
Nightdreammare: see ya

HockeyGuy8435: yeah, i heard
HockeyGuy8435: did you guys go to war with them?

Nightdreammare: Allstars?
HockeyGuy8435: andes that is
HockeyGuy8435: i wager sam IMed u about allstarts
HockeyGuy8435: allstars*
Nightdreammare: It was from the website Sam got his start at, sort of
Nightdreammare: there were a bunch of games going on and he decided to start an EZboard game
HockeyGuy8435: dont tell me it was gfaqs
Nightdreammare: afraid I must
HockeyGuy8435: haha
HockeyGuy8435: thats where i heard about carlsbad
HockeyGuy8435: that hellish place
HockeyGuy8435: afraid the Survivor board is basically dead now, as I still go there on occasion
Nightdreammare: I haven't gone on that board in a long time, been retired from the Survivor game, I guess
HockeyGuy8435: ah
HockeyGuy8435: what was your name when you were there?
Nightdreammare: Dream and Nightmare, I still go to the movies boards
HockeyGuy8435: oh
HockeyGuy8435: u must've left before i started there
Nightdreammare: yeah, probably, I left a year or two ago and only did a couple games
HockeyGuy8435: not many games now a days
HockeyGuy8435: so anyway, how's your tribe?
Nightdreammare: it's OK, we;ve gotten lucky in a lot of the challenges so far
HockeyGuy8435: being modest?
Nightdreammare: part modesty, part truth, I don't know how we won a couple of them
HockeyGuy8435: well, i need luck in this game
HockeyGuy8435: u*
Nightdreammare: we all need that to get anywhere
HockeyGuy8435: uh huh
HockeyGuy8435: seems the only luck we had was meeting you guys
Nightdreammare: yeah, I heard the guy that got kicked out was on your tribe
HockeyGuy8435: yeah
HockeyGuy8435: you probably knew him too
HockeyGuy8435: stardragonman
Nightdreammare: I thought that was him but I wasn't positive
HockeyGuy8435: yeah, taht hurt us
HockeyGuy8435: he was a strong part of your tribe
HockeyGuy8435: and it forced us to hold some deadweight going into the next TC
Nightdreammare: did you know he was sharing info?
HockeyGuy8435: he told me ppl IMed him, but he never said he gave info away
HockeyGuy8435: so he lied... partly
HockeyGuy8435: im happy to say i dont kno what he was told
Nightdreammare: he im'd me before the game started cause we saw each other online
HockeyGuy8435: yeah, he told me he saw some "old gamefaqers online that haven't been on in a loong tim"
Nightdreammare: I just said I was playing it straight though, so he never got in touch during the game
Nightdreammare: yeah, that'd be me
HockeyGuy8435: lol
Nightdreammare: And lexie on my tribe too, probably
HockeyGuy8435: maybe
HockeyGuy8435: he didnt tell me who, i didnt wanna know
Nightdreammare: yeah, neither of us would have shared any info, so let's just move on before sam gets suspicious, lol
HockeyGuy8435: yeah, smart move
HockeyGuy8435: so besides the removal of him we havent been so hot in the ICs
Nightdreammare: how many did you start with?
HockeyGuy8435: 10 *shocker*
Nightdreammare: yeah, we knew there'd be at least one really big tribe
HockeyGuy8435: i think we were the largest group
HockeyGuy8435: won the 1st IC with a horrible score
HockeyGuy8435: then we had a problem with 2 ppl having to access for a week and someone in the middle of moving from PA to TX
HockeyGuy8435: having no access*
HockeyGuy8435: then the hector issue
HockeyGuy8435: and i tihnk we're recovering now though
HockeyGuy8435: still comming up short it seems though
Nightdreammare: do you think your tribe would want to merge or anything like that?
HockeyGuy8435: dunno
HockeyGuy8435: i tihnk some are afraid of the 7/6 disadvantage
HockeyGuy8435: dont wanna be picked off and stuff
HockeyGuy8435: i dont think you guys would do that tohugh
HockeyGuy8435: since it is still a tribal game and we need all strong players
HockeyGuy8435: but yeah, i havent had a chance to talk to them all about it yet
Nightdreammare: I don't want to say too much
Nightdreammare: but with our tribe, i don't think that would happen
HockeyGuy8435: oh?
HockeyGuy8435: o
HockeyGuy8435: can you elaborate a bit?
Nightdreammare: just that there are lines
HockeyGuy8435: pregame lines?
Nightdreammare: nah, just divisions that happen during the game
HockeyGuy8435: thats why i took a break from online survivors
HockeyGuy8435: o
HockeyGuy8435: those kinds
Nightdreammare: have to wait and see what happens after this challenge
HockeyGuy8435: i, for one, wouldn't mind a merge
HockeyGuy8435: but you guys have a few power players with ya lol
HockeyGuy8435: so nerves set in
HockeyGuy8435: but thats expected
Nightdreammare: yeah, it's the same with us
HockeyGuy8435: we both have former winners with us too
Nightdreammare: how'd you finish in your game?
HockeyGuy8435: 6th place
HockeyGuy8435: how about you?
Nightdreammare: finished 2nd, was playing as Amy cause everyone was an alias in that game and sam wanted females, lol
HockeyGuy8435: haha
HockeyGuy8435: good job then
HockeyGuy8435: who'd ya lose too?
Nightdreammare: someone who's never been seen since, heh
HockeyGuy8435: heh
