So let's use this to swap our stories and exchange information for the returning players.

I will go first :D

What happened to me was pretty much the same Max. I was tribed up with a bunch of people that I hadnt connected with pre-split. I actually did hit it off with Daniel as well as with you, Rose, Laurie, and Marion. You all gave me the best vibes. There were others that interested me but just didnt connect as well. Just before the split Juliet started to tell me some stuff about Romeo and Wes. Then Wesley told me he had heard Apollo and Trip's names as early boots. So yeah, he was stirring up a lot of trouble. Lucy also told me that she really disliked Wes and called him Wes the Weasle.

When I bombed our first challenge because of a combination of my not having practiced posting images and Lucy giving me the wrong answer when I knew the right one. I questioned myself and was flustered and had trouble remembering how to post the image. I am almost positive they all had it in for me before that happened anyway. Not sure about Ivan, was hoping he would pipe in and give info for whoever gets to go back in the game. My tribe was blowing smoke up my ass the whole time, but I knew it. Buttercup came to me because I kept questioning why nobody wanted to plan for who to vote out if we lost, which told me it was me. She then offered up a girls alliance, which is the biggest joke in these games. I played along but later told her that I hated that concept and that I was going with them because I trusted them (like hell) she got pissy about that. So then the night that Ivan had to bow out, right before the challenge I sent a PM to Atreyu saying that I was voting for Ivan but that if I went home he was next. Then I went to the "last click" screen and watched Atreyu, Johnny, Lucy, and Buttercup exchange PM's until they were cut off. Then after the challenge and the PM's were back on they were back at it for a while. No PM's ever came to me. I got tired and went to bed. Atreyu eventually PM me back that I might be on to something and asked me the pecking order. Bahahahaha!! Predictable bunch there. So I never responded, wasnt worth my time and I wanted to see if he asked again. He didn't. Last challenge Lucy and Buttercup tried to make me think that they disagreed over who to vote, Johnny or Atreyu. I said Johnny and that was agreed on, yeah right lol. Johnny never even spoke to me after Ivan left. I knew the deal.

I am pretty sure they did not want me to make merge and am 100% positive they threw the challenge so that they could vote me out. Yes, I would have flipped on them. But ONLY because they never gave me a chance and I still didnt have a chance with them. Out of the 6 of them I was at the bottom the whole time.

Sorry for the book but want to give all the info I can.

Also, as a disclaimer, I need to add that I am NOT bitter. This is a game and it is a fun one.

well, i'll join in here.

back at bonsai, after max was voted out, (can fill you in on the details max) we were all in on this whole tribal unity thing. all 5 of us were just getting hyped about the tribe swap and being all about team spirit and basically just being really homoerotic.

so some back story real quick. before the tribes were formed i was on BFF status with buttercup and lucy... well.. i THOUGHT i was. i had NO idea that people had it out for me. i guess i was just too aggressive and not thinking about the things i was saying to people. i mean, i'm glad i played my heart out. but i was just being stupid about it.

anyways so fast forward to the tribe swap. i'm with romeo and trip from bonsai. this is awesome news for me. theyre cool guys. we're tight. so we only need 1 more vote to get 4.

so i talk to lucy within 30 seconds.. she's all like "yeah we're friends blah blah". then i talk to johnny. he's smooth. i am super paranoid about him. so i say to lucy "hey how would you feel about voting johnny?" she's like "yeah that's cool no big". sweet. there's 4 votes

so i go to juliet (again, i thought we were great friends. i know why she didn't like romeo but i still don't know what i did to piss her off). anyways she says she's on the bottom and was on the bottom on krypton. she also said she and lois despise each other. so now she says she's on board to vote johnny. and damn did i believe her. she was even forwarding me messages from him. today i was talking to her about the long term game past the merge. she got me so good. that one hurt.

lois is very hard to read, but we got along great before the tribes and i thought her vote was a lock.

i am 100% certain romeo did not vote for me but i am still unsure about trip. but trip and i were tight prior to tribes and on bonsai so i doubt it. but you never know.

anyways, i guess lucy had been holding a grudge on me since i was "targeting her" before the tribes and then "lied about it". we had a really serious heart to heart last night and i really thought she meant it. in all honesty i never meant to target her, i was just scared of her potential and was just asking around about her. i never meant to target her, i legitimately thought we were going into the late game together. oh well.

i tried to bluff my way into that one honestly. didn't pay off. i gave it my all and there's a little bit of comfort in being able to say that

there is much more to the story but i'll stop there. ask away, i have intel on everyone. i think i picked up enough info about the new krypton tribe too.

Hey, Westley. I really look forward to meeting and chatting with the "real" you, since you were... strange, in the game.

I'm not sure how much you already knew about this, but pretty much everyone thought you were spreading targets around with broad brush before the tribes were set. Every time someone's name came up as a possible early boot, your own was cited as the one spreading it around. As far as I was told (which was clearly a pack of lies, foul, foul lies) you were going home when I got voted out. You were the ONLY one anybody was talking about.

But I also had this concern about Daniel's loyalty. I knew he was making things happen with other people that he wasn't telling me about even before the tribes were set, so I was looking for another option. Knowing that you were pretty much on the outs, I seriously considered an option where I pulled you, Trip and Romeo in together with me and give Daniel the boot before he could do it to me.

Unfortunately, almost the first words out of your mouth to me after the tirbes were set was to ask who I thought should be voted out. I could have said Daniel and explained why, but I also knew that you'd been using that kind of information to create chaos, and I wasn't going to be the target of that. So I gave you a bullshit answer, smiled and nodded, and threw my lot in and prayed for the best. I got the worst.

So. What was the deal with my boot? I figured it was close to unanymous with MAYBE only Romeo voting otherwise. What do you know about how it went down?

hey man

yeah, i did not mean to be strange haha. i was not intending to point fingers at people, to be honest with you i think i was just too excited about the game. i dont know if you read my post but i guess everyone was saying i was targeting lucy when in my head she was one of my closest friends here. i had asked around about her a lot mostly because everyone was speaking so highly of her and i was scared that her relationship with me was disingenuous.

the tribe selection for me was opposite of how it was for you. very favorable. i know you say i was on the outs, and i dont doubt that would be true in any other tribe, but i was very richly connected in bonsai. day 1 apollo, daniel, and myself had made somewhat of an alliance. but i didn't trust daniel because multiple people had told me that he was close with you. yet even when i brought up your name he didn't mention you so i knew he was being sneaky. apollo and i figured the best way to break this worry was to vote for you. i think you were aware of this, but your name came up a lot as a target prior to tribes forming. you were a threat. take pride in getting voted out for being too good a player to keep around. anyways, trip and romeo were quick to jump on this plan. trip was also close to myself and apollo. as far as i understand, i was basically the only person romeo connected with all game.

if you have any more questions let me know. and if you can, elaborate on how/when i was targeting people. again that was not my intent. i think i was just accidentally being too aggressive. i had been having drinks those first few nights and that might have been part of my problem :lol:

Actually, per-tribe selection, Apollo was the first one to mention it to me that my name was being mentioned, and since I knew that you're name was attached to that (from both Apollo and one other person) I asked you if you'd heard my name. At that time, you admitted that you had. Shortly after that, several other names started coming up, Lucy among them. Later that day - Sunday afternoon - Apollo told me that my name was no longer being mentioned.

Keep in mind, almost everything is second or third hand. I only know what I've been told, and I may have been getting sold a case of Dr. Peabody's Amazing Snake Tonic.

i had originally heard your name from several people (i wanna say lucy was the first but i honestly don't remember) saying that you had already started a big alliance before tribes were formed. obviously the right play for me was to keep this (and other) information to myself. but i repeated it to others in hopes that they would see this as me being willing to share info with them. i guess people just took it as me being a sneak.

to add on to that, when i first heard that information, a little bit of panic set in with me. you were one of the first people to greet me and i thought we had a good relationship. that is part of the reason i went around asking about it as much as i did.

Ha! That's pretty crazy. You made a lot of people paranoid about you in those last couple days before the tribe selection, when all you were trying to do was use information to forge bonds. I guess that's what happens in the first days of one of these games.

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I strongly feel that using negative information to forge bonds always bites the wielder. But then, what do I know? I never had a negative thing to say about anybody, and I was out before you were. :)

Again though, you weren't out because anyone was mad at you. keep that in mind. you were voted out because you were successful at creating bonds.

leia, i'd like to point something out. you bring up that i mentioned apollo and trip but i think you misunderstood what i was saying. apollo and i both bonded over the fact that we were late coming to the party. then trip showed up even later and we both connected with him over the same fact. when you showed up, i brought up their names because i thought you might be able to connect with them as well. apparently i am just very poor at communication.

Wes is right Max, everyone liked you. You seemed genuine and did connect well with people. Personally I like to team up with someone like you but apparently the tribe you ended up with felt threatened by that.

I see what you are saying Wes. You did say to me that you had heard their names and I am sure of it because I had to go back and find the message when I was talking to Lucy one day. She was not your friend. She really had it in for you. I probably did take what you said to me the wrong way because Juliet had already said you were starting crap. She said that you told her Romeo mentioned her as an early boot. Juliet also told me she was very upset with Romeo anyway because the first message he sent her said that they should not be in an alliance.

I read somewhere since my boot that two of the girls on the original Krypton tribe were not getting along. Anyone recall who or where I read it?

Lucy and Buttercup are tight and I am pretty sure Johnny was their third. Atreyu would have gone after me if they had not had the swap.

So you and Romeo were tight Wes? Could be he gone next if they lose then? Hopefully it is someone from the Jedi tribe though so we can get a feel for their dynamics.
