Alright, time to look at the first seven people I shall meet in Asteria.
First off, the people I'm glad I do NOT see from past games and possible activity in this one.
Richie: Richie could be in this game. He and I had a bit of a disagreement (not too bad though) at the end of one game recently. I'm not sure if he'd come after me or not, I don't hate him or anything but starting on a tribe with him would be bad.
Kerrick: I saw Kerrick took part in the Through the Looking Glass. Kerrick and I have a weird relationship. We're nice to each other but we always end up on opposite sides in games and we're basically 1-1. (I came out on top once, he came out on top once.) Again, nothing worrisome but I don't want to start out on a tribe with him.
Chuck: I've never met Chuck but the way he is and from what I've seen...well, I know I wouldn't like him and I'm glad he's not on my tribe.
---
Now, a few people I'm sad weren't on my tribe.
Joey: I've know Joey for a LONG time in terms of ORGness. In terms of I've known him for three years, he was the host of the first ORG game I was ever in. I know if I started on a tribe with him I could trust him with an alliance. Now that we're not, I don't know.
Valerie: Val is sweet...I've never played a game with her but I've always wanted to so I could get to know her better. Maybe our paths will cross in this game.
Stacy: Stacy and I became very good friends through the same game where Richie and I had a disagreement. (Read: Richie-Stacy-I had a final 3 alliance and at final 4 Richie turned and forced a tie that ended up with Stacy being voted out.) I would have liked to have started with Stacy, because I know I could count on her...but I know her playing style...if she's in this game, she'll make a final 2 deal with somebody on her tribe and stick with that until either they're final 2 or one of the two is voted out...then she'll make a new final 2 and stick to that until the end...etc. etc. But yeah. If I run into her in this game it would be nice as well.
Ryan: - We were allies in the very first game I did well in...Survivor Online 8. And I've known him through staffing the Survivor Online series for several seasons. I trust in him and he's a good guy.....maybe I'll run into him as well.

Now, there's no way of me knowing if any of these people are actually in the game unless I stumble across their campsite. We'll see...
Onto the people on my tribe....

Laurel: OH MY GOD. This is the BEST coincidence ever. I recently met Laurel and we've talked off an on. About a month or two ago, we had a conversation that (I kid you not) revolved around the possibility of this game. We were both taking breaks from ORGs just because we were tired of them...but we were discussing games we WOULD want to play in. We both mentioned that we hoped Sam has a fifth game before All-Stars because we saw it was a good game and wanted to play in it. I figured she might have applied for this but wasn't sure if she was still on break and caught the same little "you can apply if you think you're a great player" caveat at the end of the All-Star announcement. Well here she is! It's like the Luck of Asteria shines down on me. Not only is there an ally that I know I can trust already, but she's a non-returning player as well! I know some people will have prejudice towards people that aren't officially returning...final 2 with Laurel? Both non-returners? AWESOME! So we'll see how that works out. Plus, she'll be helpful in the whole "I'm gonna be away for an extra week in Hawaii" fiasco that I'm sure will happen.
Matt D. - Well the initial gives way to the fact that there's probably another Matt on this island. Hmmmm.... but anyway. I've heard a lot of things about Matt and all the things I've heard have been nice. He's one of those people that all my friends know but for some reason I don't know him. Like....he knows Ben, Blaine, Natasha, Sam(other Sam, not you host Sam...), Lauren, Karen....basically everybody that I've made good friends with from ORGs on EZboard. I've just never talked to him. So he's another friendly force I would like to work with.
Kevin W. - Okay.....I know Kevin W. won Paradise. I also know that he screwed over people to do it. I ALSO know he screwed over Stacy to do it. I won't trust him....I don't want him to get the upperhand.
Will, Mike, Lexie, Lynne - I don't have any prior opinions of them....I will have to talk to them to see what's up.
Although I find it interesting all three girls on the tribe have their names beginning with L.
If all goes well, I would like to make an alliance with Laurel and Matt...and hopefully rope in two others that aren't Kevin W.
*cracks knuckles*
Let's get this party started.
