Wow! So glad to get away from Jack and Robb. All I ever heard was how Melissa was working on a couple of people to control the game and I was one. She remained distant in the game to me which I took as validity about her intention against me. Seth and Melissa were too obvious of alliances outside of the game and on facebook and that was a major mistake. I think it will be their downfall. However...I may be getting played by another alliance just to get rid of them. What made my decision up, however, was the lack of communication coming from Jack. So I sided with the others telling me that she was out to get me. I completely trust Deb in the game, and maintain an alliance of two with her. With Bobby Jon out of the game, I am looking at maintaining my alliance of two with Ryan (Mike), but not fully committed to it since I think Mike is running everyone with alliances. I'm keeping that alliance in a back pocket. Newman? I want to maintain that alliance as well since he was interested and forthcoming about protecting me from Jack. He was against Melissa (Jack) so the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm a bit surprised that Deb was so willing to give up on her alliance with Newman as soon as the new tribe was formed. However, I spoke to Deb about keeping Newman with us in an alliance of three. I think Deb and Mike are tighter than Newman so she was willing to look to Mike as a more powerful alliance. I don't blame her/...I think that is good logic in many ways...however, I think there may be greater reliability with Newman than Mike. Mike and Newman may even be in an alliance at this point. Helen is a developing alliance at her effort. I will take Helen/Jenn in as an alliacen but close friend with no final two or anything...just a trusted tribemate and allow Helen to decide how tight that alliance really is. I started this game with the intention of playing it silly and aggressive. Due to personal events that are out of my control and quite disruptive to my life...I haven't been able to focus on the game as I would have loved to do. However, with the marks against me from failing to meet the confesional requirements...I don't think I'm viewed as a significant threat anymore since they can take me out whenever they want to in the future...whoever "they" will be. So, I will change my strategy to flying under the radar...be a friend to all and an enemy to no one. I'm not going to be disruptive either. Just play. Smile. Before they know it....the others will implode on each other and I will keep moving forward. As others move forward in aggressive play they will earn their own enemies., and hopefully, miss confessionals and the like to get points against them. As we get the numbers down, then I will be on equal footing or better. They will have marks and they will have more votes because of the enemies they made from aggressive play. This crazy time in my life and my inability to focus on the game may have resulted in me changing my gameplay unexpectedly and without thought....and in the end....it may lead me to a position to actually win this game! |

So...when it comes time to vote someone out of the tribe? Who do I choose....well...I'm not playing aggressive so I will wait and see who the others decide I should take out. I will let them come to me to tell me who I should vote for. I will increase words like...I defer to you....whatever you want....to give them the allusion of power and control. That's fine. I am controlling the game through relinquishing the power.....FOR NOW! hee hee |

Who do I hold as my main alliance? Deb Anyone else.... Sure.... several others are excellent alliances Big Mike is high on my list, but I think he may be on others too He agreed to a final two with me, but when we were picking he chose Scott over me...so, from the start, I knew he was not thinking of me as his final two. So Mike lost a lot of my faith with that pick. I think he is identifying alot of final two alliances. Newman is high on my list. He was there to defend me without fear of being in my face about my gameplay. I respected that since he was saying he was with me as long as I carried my weight. That was fair and reasonable and I can go far with someone as an alliance with someone like that. Jenn is getting higher on my list but I need to see more from her in the game. For some reason, I think she may surface as someone that I will want to take with me further in the game. So...within the tribe...I have Mike, Deb, Newman, and Jenn as potential alliance members in one way or another. This is setting me up good within the tribe. I'll let their input guide me next. I don't think there will be a conflict within this group so I expect this to work out well. |

In your first post at the top, you mainly mentioned individual connections with various people in this tribe of seven. How are these individual connections translating to an equation that will keep you safe here in Kamedo? |

My Connections.... ~ KAMEDO TRIBE ~ RYAN - Started early as Final Two alliance. Kept in contact and will maintain as gameplay continues. HELEN - Interested in alliance and will maintain and allow Helen to lead. PAM - Only superficial contact. Likely will be one of the first to go if the others decide it is Pam's time. KATE - Reached out and may keep in alliance with contact. RANDY LINDSEY - Maintaining high level of commitment T-BIRD - Maintaining contact but will see where it goes...Tyring to keep Newman around with Deb, but Deb seems wavering to Mike. ~ ZALUL TRIBE ~ DWIGHT SAWYER JILL IBREHEM CRYSTAL JACK - Melissa was distant and rumored to be out to get me. Based on her previous game and current rumors...can't trust. ROBB -Seth wanted me to support his play...but his alliance with Melissa was too obvious and a threat...can't trust. |

I think.... Deb and Mike are in an alliance Deb will back me 100. She will share that with Mike. Mike sees that he can have two others on his equation by going with Deb. So he wants to keep Deb in his pocket, and at the same time, me. I will contact Mike and say I trust Deb. I know she is telling Mike she trusts me....Mike, Deb and I are held together for now. Deb and Newman were in an alliance with me. Deb and Newman, I believe, continue to be tight. Deb didn't mentinon Newman in a message to me, so I took that as an opportunity to support Newman. She will back me up still to Newman. Newman may also be in an alliance with Mike. If he is and goes to Mike, then they may agree that it is in their best interest to keep it Mike, Newman, Deb and me for now. I will contact Newman about Mike like I did with Mike about Deb. Helen is looking for someone for support. So I will foster my relationship with Helen and reach out, but will allow Helen to think it is stronger than it is unless it comes to light that Mike is involved in an allaince with Helen. That will work to my advantage. So...for now...I need to maintain my friendships but keep Newman and Mike involved. |

Another question........we are currently 3 weeks into the game. A lot of things you've mentioned in your Confessional gives the impression of just now trying to figure out alliances and where you might stand. I say this cause this ain't your first rodeo. ![]() What would you be thinking if this was Belize or Palau and someone 3 weeks in started trying to figure out alliances or start getting a group together? |

If I was observing that going on...then I would think the person wasn't a great player or had alliances with others and I didn't know about it. Things change and no one knows for sure who has what with whom. Paranoia is running so rampant that no one can net him and find rest. So...I don't think it matters...really. There is never a time in the game when things can't change in one's favor. Just have to stay cool and collected. I doubt I could stay that way if it were the real game...but its virtual paranoia! I think it is to my advantage that I am not playing aggressive...let the others take on the names of...well...I wont repeat those here....I'll stand by and watch them implode, explode, and erode. They will be their own worst enemies. |
