So, Brobst....did I do this correctly? Are you the only one who can read this topic and my entries?
Thanks.

Well....it's been an interesting start to an All-Stars game.

In some ways, I'm thinking, "God!...why is everyone so lame about the game?" There is so much social chatter! But then, I worry if it's just a smokescreen and intense strategizing is underway and I'm missing out on it. What if I'm being shunned, set aside for the kill...and early dismissal? But then I hopefully meditate on the dream that everyone is numb, dead to the game that is about to take place...which makes this ripe, prime, ready for my picking and carrying this thing to the very end and be the sole survivor of All-Stars. And again, maybe not. Oh the tossing and turning! And the game has just begun.

We've only just begun....to playyyyyyyy....All-Stars Survivorrrrrrr.....a twist of luck on tribes are made todayyyyy....and we've only just begunnnnnnnnnnn......

But I digress....

What have I done?

Oh dear...oh my....yes, what have I done....

Well, I made a very early alliance with Big Mike. He's the man, you see....if anyone is anyone with online games....you know Brobst and Big Mike. Since I can't get an alliance with Brobst, Big Mike is Da Man. And who is the most aggressive player in these games? Who should I be concerned about most? I believe it is Scott. He is a damn fine all around player....but aggressive as anything! However....and a big HOWEVER....I know that Big Mike and Scott are friends outside of the online games. I need to secure Big Mike's alliance but want to cut Scott out of it from the start since I believe he will be Big Mike's #2 man. But how do I do this without disrupting Big Mike's planning for an alliance. And wow....Big Mike is doing major planning!!!! Can I sit back and let Big Mike do all this work...connect....make alliances...sit by knowing that Big Mike offered me a final 2 alliance....and then disrupt his #2 plan, if that is reality? Either way...#2 or not, I know Scott will be a favored player and must remove him from Big Mike's temptations. So.....

I secure my alliance of 2 with Big Mike, at least, by Big Mike's promise. Then I go about and select four players who I believe will have the most social connections to others (non overlapping) in the game so anything said spreads fast. I start a small rumor in those contacts that "everyone is being so nice and social, except rumors I am hearing about one player...namely, Scott...and that he is being aggressive about setting up alliances." This rumor is well received since it is typical of what people may expect of Scott. I even share it with Big Mike but reassure Big Mike. Big Mike states that he is indeed wanting Scott in our alliance (which I suspected already). My response to Big Mike is that I trust Scott and hope to have him in our alliance as well.

I do like Scott. I admire his energy in the game. I know he is an aggressive player once he starts going. He is a threat to my ultimate plans and alliances. My hope is to remove him early so Big Mike no longer has any temptation to go back on his deal with me. Sorry Big Mike....but it is Survivor, and I need to try to remove any obstacles in the way...especially as I try and establish my key alliances.

So...a little disruption, hopefully....to start the game. :)

To answer your question...
...factors outside of this game.

Hmmm.....weird that I totally missed the rule on 11pm the night before. I wrote down that we needed to post but had it put on my calendar that we just needed to post sometime before the challenge. This screws me again tonight since I didn't get this post into here until today. So that is three marks against me. Argggggggggg.

Well...the game has taken some interesting twists. I put myself back out there with Jack (Melissa) who, although had crossed me before, I thought we could start anew in a game. Wrong.

I get an alliance set up with Melissa and then get a text from one of our other tribesmembers that Melissa is trying to stab me in the back. There goes my final four set up....but at least I know I have one person in my corner in the tribe and will continue to use that.

Since I have two three marks against me because of confessionals...and that is out there for everyone to see...perhaps I will be viewed less of a threat to others now since I will be an easy vote off later. Dunno.

My game tonight is simply to play the game (God Willing...long story)....and see what happens after it. I hate walking in with three marks against me...but rules are rules and they were clearly stated....my fault alone.
