Garrey went. No surprise, but I can't help but be worried over Sam's comment at the end of TC. Would be smart to offer a deal to someone else to make three.
Kevin offered me an alliance, and asked about Tyler. I think it would a smart move if we ever merged with them. I have trust in Lexie and Will to have my back, and I'm gaining trust in Lynne. I may take his offer.

Conspired with Jose, about forming a "majority alliance". Decided to bring Tyler along to break the marriage bond of Lew and Jen. Jose just doesn't know I'm already with Tyler, at least I hope he doesn't. This is very good news. I hope he's not lieing about it. That would be mean...

Let's see.
The ball has been fun. Lot of things being said, many are very hurtful towards some people. I expected it to get personal, I'm just glad I haven't been targeted yet. I hope it stays the way it is now and I can get away fine. I wanted to start off as an instigator to make people dislike my character as to not draw attention to myself, becuase I'm normally a nice guy.
Had a conference call tonight. With Tyler, Annette, Katie, Patrick, Jen, and Jamie. We just talked about life and stuff, been awhile since we could get a conferece call going. After awhile we discussed the game a bit, just the basic stuff, like the ball and other things. After a few hours everyone left and it was just me and Katie. We talked about the Ethan TC and her tribe, then about my TCs and Ovambo, and the Hector thing concerning Katie. We talked merge a bit and stuff, as well as life in general. Been like two months since we really talked, so I'm very glad we finally met in the game. I missed her.
The rumor is that Lisu and Yupik might merge. If that happens I guess Zaza and Ovambo merge, or we ally the other guys. Going to be interesting to see how it turns out. I just hope we can win this next IC to stay at five people.
Also, Tyler mentioned this "tribal swap" idea of his, concerning the dating for the ball. Where you and your date switch tribes. If that's the case then I'll end up with Jose, Lexie, Mike, Kevin M. and whoever Matt D. went with (Lisu member I believe). I like that tribe and I think it would work out good.

Heh, I got booted from the ball, well for a few hours. I wonder what's going on there now...
Anyway, the IC is Wednesday. Ugh. I hope we can get it moved to Thursday, or else I'll have to ditch my tribe. Which I don't want to do. Ugh.
Talked to Lexie yesterday, which I forgot to put in the last update. We formed an "alliance". Share information and what not and allign if we end up together later on. I trust her, so we'll see where it leads me.

Had another conference tonight. A lot went down concerning a merge. The ball is winding down.
Let's start with... the merge. I've been trying to talk to everyone about it. Mark says yes, Katie says yes, Patrick says no, Jaime says yes, Tori says maybe, Annette says yes. Thing is, no one talks to each other about it, only me. What the hell do I have to do to make you people talk to each other about it? Seriously. Fucking drives me insane. Then there's the thing of IF we merge. What happens? If we lose tomorrow we are at a severe numbers disadvantage. They say they won't pagong them, but honestly, how do I trust them? Katie says she doesn't intend to stick with her tribe the whole game, why wait then? Jump over to Ovambo now. I know Jamie would do it. I don't want to Pagong, but I want a tribe of strong people I CAN TRUST. Patrick? No. Tori, Mark, Annette? Don't know. Jamie, Katie? Yes. Jose? Don't know... This is where the game takes a turning point. Zaza needs to talk, because win or lose this next IC, if Zaza still doesn't know, Yupik will start to look mighty good to us.
Had a conference call again. Tyler, Katie and Patrick this time. Patrick said he'll merge if we vote Lew out. Why? Because they're married? Bull shit. You think I don't know that? You vote them out after we merge. You'll have the numbers, use them. Someone might jump ship? Oh well, your fault. Next time make a stronger tribe. Katie says she won't Pagong us, but she can't speak for everyone. She says I'll be safe, but she can't speak for everyone. So what I had is one person saying I'm good, while everyone doesn't say anything? Good deal, eh?
The ball is winding down. Sucks. Lots of fun for me. Other people hated it, well lighten up. It's all in good fun. Don't take everything so serious.

Ugh, I'm so stressed about the game right now. Dealing with people and the merge. I've worked to hard to just be voted out, but I can't merge into a suicide. What do I do? Turn on my tribe and work my way into another? Try and turn the other tribe onto itself and pick up the outsiders? I'm so confused...
Maybe I should take a day off after the next TC...

Woo. I feel a lot better today. It's amazing what sleep can do to ease the mind. I'm so relaxed it's scary. I can't wait for this IC. I so pumped for it.

Had a very interesting conversation with Patrick earlier. He says he doesn't want to merge, because HE doesn't want a big tribe, HE likes his current tribe. Very cocky attitude there. Whatever, Patrick, don't merge. Have fun losing challenges, then when you want to merge, no. I don't want to. Play for yourself and this is what happens. You distance potential allies from yourself. Very stubborn player.

I'm pissed we lost the challenge. I wish I had spoken up when Jose was named #1 for our tribe. Had I not biten my tongue we may have won. Alas, it's too late and we must go to TC again. Looks like the vote is for Jose.
More importantly, lots of drama in the conference call tonight. We started off with Tyler, Katie, Jamie and myself. Jamie was talking about Pat then Katie left. Jamie continued, about saying he was the leader and stuff, then Pat came in. We shut up and he got all moody saying he hates when people talk about him. It killed the mood and everyone left. Then like 15 minutes later Katie, Tyler and myself all did it again, but this time, with only us three. We talked to Katie about the merge and see says if we merge she wants it to be Tyler, Pat, her and myself as four strong. Start off spliting Jen/Lew, then voting Jamie, followed by the other of Jen/Lew. Then voting out Annette due to "challenge strength" by then it'll be near jury time (save some huge Sam twist).
After talking about this Pat came in to talk more about it. He agreed, but said he wants to vote Jamie out before Jen/Lew. This may give Jen/Lew more confidence we won't get screwed and stuff. So I think it'll work. If they decide to fuck us over, I got a lot of dirt on them and we can possibly turn the tables. I don't see us losing a few challenges at the start so we may be set for awhile.
Anyway, the plan is to vote as an Ovambo block right away to set up the illusion we're together and stuff, then spring the Annette vote to save me and Tyler, basing it off of challenge strength. The merge topic will be posted right after the TC is posted on Friday, which is hopefully around noon (please Sam??). Want to get it posted before Jamie is home from work so other people can vote, and Zaza isn't afraid of a Jamie jump. More about this and the voting will be posted later, as we discuss it.
On another note, Yupik lost, which is awesome. That tribe is split and I hope they merge with Lisu and screw themselves with drama. It'll be sweet.
The merged map has been posted, and I love it. So big. Wow! I can't believe how little we covered, but then again Yupik has been with Lisu for awhile and didn't have a huge inactivity problem in the start.
