Sigh. I'm a sucker for punishment really. I can't stay away from the ORGs. Thankfully I am over a very busy point in my life (though it still didnt stop me from play a game anyways ARGH) and now I have some time to dedicate to this, if these players let me. First thoughts? Well, Ive heard a lot of good things from people about this series, so, I'm glad the opportunity came up for me to be a last minute replacement and play. I hope people wont hold it against me, but, I doubt they would. The twist is interesting, its been done before, but, I dont think quite like this. I think with there being three roles, likely two of them will be good roles to have, and one of them, most likely the 'daughter' and 'son' roles will be bad. I.E them having no vote at all. Depends how evil the host is really. One more thing, I like where this season is set. Japan. I've been learning it for the last year, and can read the Hiragana and Katakana scripts fine, and am learning the mountains of Kanji. So, if there is ever a challenge based on that, I'm golden . I doubt it though, but, you never know.

So, the first day of the game has come and gone, and, the pleasantries are starting. We all are getting to know one another - and the small talk is everywhere. However, you need it really. Im not one that jumps into alliances or game talk until say around weeks 2 or 3. Most of the time this doesn't hurt me, but sometimes, it does. Before I go any further, I think I'll retell a massive weakness of mine is this game. Likeability. I'm really not the most interesting guy in the world, I fully admit that....and it always hinders me in these games. Usually people warm to me later on in the game, but, its making those initial bonds that I find hard. Take Cirie for example, she told me earlier she thinks I'm funny and a good laugh. Oh wow, is she going to get the shock of her life in a couple of weeks from now but hey - by then it'll be too late . The tribe in general seems to be quite good actually, Monique is here....AGAIN. Seriously, I've played like 3 games on the trot with her, there must be some bond there . Hope we can finally be long time strong allies, because, I have so much respect for her. Ones to watch out for in this tribe seem to be Alexis and Brianna. I really suspect they will go far and do well in this game. They both seem entertaining and savvy - they would be my first choice for alliance partners. What will be my general strategy for this game? Hmmm, I dont know. On the one hand you could argue that 'hey don't fix what ain't broke' . I'm fortunate enough to have won two games on the bounce (and came 3rd in another) playing a very simple strategy of 'find one person to trust, and a whole lot more to work with and win a couple of challenges' . Do I want to play the same game again though? It'd be nice to try something else, to tell you the truth.

Lalala, just the usual. Working my way through the tribe, chatting to everyone about everything. Generally keeping my ears open. So, yesterday, Alexis, Brianna and Cirie all wanted to be the Mama, but, strangely by about 11pm ish (your time) both Brianna and Cirie stepped aside to let Alexis take it. Hmmmm, okey dokey. Well, thats fine by me, I didn't want the role, and I like Alexis, so, lets vote her. What I will say is, I wonder why those two stepped down so willingly? Hmmm, Alexis and Brianna alliance perchance? Who knows. Either way, it doesnt bother me too much, unless they are seeking to create a majority alliance, in which case LET ME JOIN !!! Monica came up to me and wanted an alliance. Nice. I was going to ask her the same thing. I hope she doesn't screw me over. I tend to be quite good in my choice of 'ultra ally' and, Im not entirely confident on her, but, I like to be proved wrong Andrea is a fellow UK-er. Wow. Thats cool. Not seen a fellow player from the Isles in a long time. Before we found out each others location, our conversation was quite boring and bland....afterwards though, things took off and we nattered for over an hour about all things British (kinda). Kim is nice, Cirie is nice. Brianna and Alexis are threats. Monica is an ally. Andrea has potential. Kelly P and Jerri are mysteries. Penny I keep missing on AIM.

Unfortunately, this is going to be one of the games where I don't really hit it off with too many people. Its a shame, but, it happens from time to time. I have been put on a tribe of people that, for the most part, we just don't have much of a bond. Kelly P for example, I have no real connection with at all, she's 17 and a little, what is the word, 'ditzy' .... and I just don't really connect at all with that.
Last night though, oh man, what a pathetic pathetic sight it was.
About seven of us were online, and Alexis wanted the whole tribe to have a meeting so we could decide on the other two roles between us. It took us over three hours to decide what we wanted to do, and everytime me or Alexis tried to push for a final agreement, someone new would show up and wanted a role.
Monica was having huge fits of paranoia about how everyone was already in a huge alliance together, and was forming all sorts of pairs and trios. Alexis was also wondering where everyones allegiances lay when we took a final vote between Brianna and Jerri. Jerri was winning in terms of votes so, me and Monica purposely tied it up to find out where Alexis stood.
And, as predicted, she sided with Brianna, which, I figured she would.
So, now, we have the three power positions being taken up by Alexis, Brianna and Kelly....certainly not the three I would have wanted to see take them, but, I want to be in the background right now.
See, my main concern is getting the hell off of this tribe. The second a swap or similar happens, Im runnning away like mad. So, I need to just get there first, which may be a bit of a problem.

This tribe is (sorry for my language here, but, man, its necessary....) FUCKING NUTS.
Jerri, or someone close to Jerri clearly has a problem with Monica, and is trying to get her out of this game. THIS IS WHY I DISLIKE ALIAS'. It's unfair. Veteran players like me and her don't play alias all that much, weve played so many times that we will naturally at one point pissed off nearly every ORG player. However, someone wants her gone, and it falls to ME to try and resolve the problem!
Why me?? I want to stay in the background and run away to the guys tribe.....why on EARTH and Im getting involved?
Because Monica is my ally. True, so is Jerri, but, this is where things get interesting.
The vote as of right now is between my only two concrete alliance partners. I want to swap the vote onto someone like Penny who is not online that much compared to everyone else.
However, we have a BIG problem here
So far the votes for Monica are Andrea, Kim, Bri, Cirie and Jerri. See the problem I will have if I turn the vote onto Penny? My solution? Get Brianna back on board.
If I can get Bri, Alexis, Monica, Myself and *sigh* Kelly together, that will be majority.
It's just so ARGH. I had wanted to come online, hear who the vote was, and go to bed. I have been awake for now 22 hours and done both a badminton and a bridge tournament..... and now I have to try and solve this tribal council where both Brianna and Monica are aware leaving me to hold down the fort?
Seriously. Not cool.
Normally, I can handle this no problem, I might appear weak, but underestimate me at your peril.... however, right now Im really tired and cranky and I am being asked to do the near impossible with a tribe I can hardly relate to.
If I pull this off, give me a damn gold star - I deserve it.

Give me a gold star. I know that there was talk of removing Penny beforehand, but, with the tide so greatly against Monica, it was hard work getting the votes in place for the vote. I dislike bragging, and yet I do believe I deserve at least a little bit of credit for making this vote happen. True, with Alexis holding the double vote it was ultimately her call on the matter, but, without me, I'd be pretty certain Monica would be gone. Ayways, the vote wasn't surprising, what was surprising was the votes themselves. Vote #6 in particular looks very familiar to me, I believe I know who might have cast that vote, if I'm right, oh good grief has this game been made a little bit harder for me. The game moves on, and a lot of people are interested in getting Andrea on board, thinking she only voted Monica because she doesnt know much about tribal dynamics right now and wanted to be in the majority. The first vote? Easy. Let's go round 2

hmm you should explain why if you know who this person was that cast said vote, it would make this game harder for you!
