The round begins with a huge announcement that makes a bang A choice to mutiny is given, Coach decides to stick with his gang Morgan decides to jump ship, like a mouse fleeing once its trap is sprang She forgets one very important thing about pirate lore: "Mutineers HANG!!!"
An unexpected shakeup for sure. A potentially fun one. When I first saw it I had the crazy idea that "HEY!! Lets everyone mutiny xD" I didn't read the rules that said the Captain couldn't mutiny. sigh Oh well. I expected Morgan to leave. But Ace filled me in on what Morgan said. "I'd rather take my chances with a non-social Read than face Coach's army" Thanks Morgan Thanks a lot. Now Ace is telling me that he is afraid of staying here. But Ace is at least smart enough to know that it is a hard road on either side. Mutinying can make you a huge target for the other tribe. Sure Morgan can sell me out entirely. Which she will so my game effectively ends tomorrow at noon. Ace doesn't quite have that much info.
Then there is Hali. Again I don't want to shade her too much. But I am p sure Hali will mutiny. And this is based solely on who is on the other tribe. Sooooo thats another bad thing. This is the start of mucho mucho difficult times for me in this game. Challenge wins are going to be more important than ever. Time to awaken that "challenge beast" from within inside of me.
I'd like to apologize to Hali (for whenever she reads this) for assuming she would mutiny based on speculation of her and someone else's alias. That was ignorant of me and I shouldn't have assumed it.
I should be doing work stuff and here I am writing a confessional I got my time down to 6:31. No idea how I got it to that since I was hovering around the 10-11 min mark for quite a while. Hali told me last night she had 7:47. I am hoping, not to win, but that Hali doesn't win. Its best right now to vote her out. She has been to Secret Island thrice and has admitted to not feeling any close bonds over here. So she knows she is on the outs. I wonder why she didn't mutiny though. She even told me Morgan told her to jump ship. Curious. Morgan IMed me last night saying she got 5:11. Quite impressive I must say. So she is likely surviving. Good for her. A second chance in this game. Who knows MAYBE she will help me out when I am inevitably swapfucked?? Doubtful but gotta keep hope alive right?
I won immunity!!! Dragon Slayer baby!!! Not that I think I needed it. Gonna have to come up with a poem for Tribal tomorrow. Its getting harder. ... LOL NO. Rhyming is easy when there is rhymezone xD
As for the vote. I want Hali out. And it seems possible as of now. Cap'n Whit sad boys vote Hali, girls vote Ace. That's all weel and good short term. But 5 doesn't make a majority at merge. We are setting ourselves up to be pangonged in a merge or swap. And I think my "threat" status is on the ever growing road to being merge boot. 8th place looks like a distant dream atm. That is sad. IDK what to do though. Unless I can convince Sash, Shirin and Whit individually that we should try and keep Ace, Hali appeased by voting out Rodney, it is going to be a split vote that is going to mess up all our games. We will enter the merge as 5 strong but completely exposed. I will try to convince these people to look at the big picture and take a chance. Either that or I will try to make Ace see why we should vote Hali. Although atm I can't think of any reason besides saying "Yeah I didn't align with Hali when tribes were formed so now I wanna vote her out. Oh and you aren't in the alliance either but it would be great if you side with us until we eventually dispose off of you. Kthxbye"
I have cast my vote for Ace but I am working on a Rodney vote. Don't know if it will work and will most certainly make me look shady, overplaying and what not. But I can't help but feel this sinking feeling of getting screwed because we exposed our alliance so blatantly so early.
(talked to Whit about this as I was typing this)
WELP. Whit outright refuses to vote Rodney. Says she trusts him more than Ace and Hali combined. I realized I just gave Whit ammo for turning on me with Rodney and potentially Sash and Shirin for whenever the 5 needs to break up. FACEPALM. Oh well. Not like its gonna come to that. Swapfuck inevitable after this vote. GGWP Coach. Hope you had fun writing these poems
LOL. A thought came to me just now. First off if I was one of the 3 voting Hali (I originally was, don't know why that changed) I could have just flipped my vote to Rodney and sent him home in a 3-2-2 blindside but having to face the wrath of 3 people. But I could have MAYBE pacified everyone with all my charm and sweet talking Well since I am one of the people voting Ace, I can't change anything. What I CAN do is give Ace the heads up. This is a potentially suicidal move because Ace could just sell me out to the other 4 and I would be even more screwed than I already am. ORRRRR it could solidify that I do trust Ace (which FTR I don't really. I am just trying to cover all my bases). Hmmmm. What to do. I have gone down this path before. Trying to blatantly play both sides. Didn't really work out last time. I pissed everyone off and would have been torn apart at FTC had I made it there. So maybe I should reign myself in and see how Ace reacts. He would be silly to want to stick with the 5 at a swap. But maybe ... just maybe ... if i reach out to him most, he will try to shift the target off of me and onto someone else?? All I need is a round or two to burrow my way into someone's good graces. I think I can do that. Hmmmm. What to do ....
So, Rodney is MIA. We figured we need to put votes on Hali to ensure Rod stays in case he self votes. Whit isn't online but surely she will understand. We are kinda worried that Hali hasn't campaigned at all today. I mean I am not worried because I am immune lol. I gotta figure out how to not let that ugly white background show up when I edit in paint. Its a pain to have to use GIMP for these simple text-y votes.
