Well, I have told Fabio that I will vote Jenna with them. Think that may be the direction of their next vote. I just sent Jenna a pm. She needs to do 3 things before she goes out of town in case things stay the same for another round. I have told her to post that if I send her a coin, she is sending it right back. That will give me 3 and I can get the immunity idol. Then I told her to post that if I send her the idol, she wishes to play it. And also to post a bootlist for votes. Really counting on her to do a lot ahead of leaving, so I hope she does it all. I think I have everything covered, and if this works her vote would be the one to eliminate someone. My decision will be, do I vote with her, in case they post an off vote and cause a tie? Or do I vote for her so that if it goes badly, I don't put a bigger target on myself. Still hoping for a swap of some sort, and that I could find someone else to work with. I don't trust anyone on this tribe right now.

Now none of that matters. It's new tribes! Should that be ;D or maybe it's more like I guess anything could happen at this point. Still hope that someone from the other tribe is needing numbers, I would gladly work with anyone else since my tribe seemed to completely turn on me anyway. I would really like to see a few of them leave quickly, some faster than others.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you too! The one I want out most would be Sierra followed quickly by the rest of my "alliance". But, they will be around well into merge and I will be gone very soon. If they are smart they will have me gone pre-jury. Honestly I haven't got a lot of motivation to try because I have no alliance, and no one I can trust at this point. Fabio picked Sydney - not surprised. Jeff picked Brenda - again, no surprise and then Sydney picked Sierra, but I think she has to repick. Doesn't matter it already shows how this is going to go. So, tribe pick is going as expected and they are pulling their alliances together. In looking at this basically the guys from one tribe will be picking the girls from the other, so I will stay with Brenda and Sierra most likely. If I had even a remote chance of survival it was with Brady and Fabio and from the way the rules on the swap are written they are the people I will not be with no matter what. Isn't that just great?!

Cautiously Optimistic! lol Well, not sure if I read it wrong or if the rules changed, but guys didn't have to pick girls and girls pick guys, so that worked out to my benefit. I was picked by Erinn. Not sure why but hope it works out well. It seemed so random how everyone picked the people on their tribes. Gonna have to look at that more closely and see what I can figure out later. lol I picked Candice and hope she and I can work together. She seems to think Erinn would be with us, and then hopefully Brady or Benry. We'll see. I did tell her I don't trust Brady but felt like I could trust him more than Edgardo. If I had my choice I'd have just mutinied from the whole lot of them! Anyway, for now I wanted to post the list of how tribes were picked and will come back and edit this into a real update when I get home later. New Karnak: Fabio Sydney Sierra Marty Jenna (random) Charlie Edgardo New Thebes: Jeff Brenda Erinn Kelly Candice Brady Benry

New Tribes! I was feeling pretty discouraged after Stephen was voted out and then we went immediately into new tribes. Didn't have a lot of hope that I could make it much further, but then things turned around. I am on a tribe with Brady and Brenda from my original tribe. They have both approached me about the 3 of us sticking together. Hmm, interesting how things have changed since they flipped the last vote and never bothered to tell me. Wonder if they are at all worried about that now? They should be! ;D Both of them expressed a concern that the original 4 Thebes will align and vote the 3 of us out first. I'm trusting Candice a lot so that isn't a worry to me. I have told Candice what all went down on the old tribe, that they want the 3 of us to stick together and she feels Brenda will try to get Jeff as the 4th for that vote. I have assured Candice that I am completely with her, and obviously won't tell the other 2 that, but that I do not plan to stay loyal to people that were going against me only one round ago. Should be interesting when we go to TC. lol I have talked with Candice the most on the tribe, and also spoke with Brady, Brenda and Jeff through aim. I have talked to Erinn and Benry through pm. I was wondering about an alliance between Brenda and Sierra because Brady keeps telling me how much the two of them talk. Also wondered if Sydney is working with them, but her and Sierra did the last challenge together so it makes sense that they would pick each other for the swap. I think it will be interesting to see how the first few votes go on both tribes since they both seem like they could split up in several different ways. Hoping at this point that Benry will stay with Candice, Erinn and I. If not, we will be counting on Brady, and after last vote that will be a big risk! Guess only time will tell. eta: It looks like original Thebes didn't have an issue with the tribe swap and Karma, it's interesting that Karnak did. Seems everyone but Sierra and Fabio went back to zero around the time of the swap. Wonder who was behind that? I only had 1 it wasn't like I was doing that well to begin with lol and someone took it!

Well, obviously I'm not good at sliders. Yuck! And off to tribal we go. I don't feel safe at all, never do. I hope Benry and Brady stay with us, or at least one of them does. So the debate, do I try to get the idol? I could ask Candice for the coin, or I could give her mine. For now I'm going to wait until I get a chance to talk with some people and see how things are sounding for the vote. Not much else to say, just hope I'm here longer than this round. I have talked to Candice and Benry and both say the vote is for Brenda. I believe Erinn will also vote that way as she seems to be with Candice and working closely with her. I still need to figure out how to talk to Brady about it. He seemed pretty set to keep Brenda, he and I together from our original tribe and while he may have a sense of loyalty to that, after the Stephen vote, I really don't have that same loyalty. I said at the time I'd flip if given the chance and here's my chance. I can align with Candice, Benry, Erinn and probably Charlie and hopefully some others at merge. I would get just as far with either side I believe because of the way no one told me about the Stephen vote. It definitely showed that I wasn't a key part of their alliance anyway. So, the last I talked with Brenda the plan was for us 3 to stick together and I agreed to that, but she hasn't been very social, and I do think she is using Brady and my vote only to get to merge where she will be with her true alliance. My vote is posted, my tribal is answered, and now I wait.....and worry. Why is it the times I flip or take a risk on a vote also seem to be when the tribals are much longer than the normal 24 hours?

The last vote went pretty well, I was actually surprised that it seemed everyone voted Brenda. I did think there would be at least a few votes for someone else. I made merge! I am so happy about that. Means I am at least a little closer to my goal. This game has been one unexpected after the next so I just don't feel secure at all. In games it usually becomes pretty clear how alliances are dividing and right now I just don't see it. I have talked with Candice and do think I have a pretty solid alliance with her. But then she is also talking to Jeff and Sydney. Hopefully to just continue along old tribal lines, but it just seems strange. I do not feel I am a key part to any alliance but with losing my original alliance on the old tribe and then having new tribes, and being on a tribe that had their original 4 as the majority to the 3 of us. Now merge. Just sort of feels like I can't pull together anything that I can count on 100%. I don't feel like I could make it to the end of this game, it's just been so random and every time you have to change alliances you drop to the bottom of their list. So right now I'm probably ranked pretty low. Candice says we are in a strong 4 alliance and I really hope that's true. I like to feel a little more in control of things than this, but I will not give up!!!! Gonna fight til I'm voted out of here. Maybe I'll be just scrappy enough to earn a spot in AS before they throw me out! Oh, also want to update on the auction. I helped Candice get the item she was wanting because she and Benry were bidding but needed one more vote to flip it so that she would win. Then I contacted Benry and asked if he would like help getting an item, so I bid with him to help him get one as well. Later I saw that Marty and Charlie were bidding on the trip to the tomb and I watched and tried to sneak in at the last second, but just missed getting the item. Charlie then sent me a pm and offered to help me with the other trip to the tomb. Said it was the least he could do since I gave him immunity 2 rounds ago. I thought that was really nice, and he and I had the chance to chat a bit. Pretty sure I know who he is so now I'm a little nervous about him If it's who I think it is, I'm sure he knows who I am as well. He's a smart player, and we talked quite a bit in the past so I'm sure he would know me just from the short amount of time that we talked. So, I got my item, talked with a few people that night and from here we have a vote that no one seems to be talking about. What is going on?! I don't like this at all. They aren't pm'ing and rarely do you see many of them even on aim. Guess I continue with my plan, which is to stay with Candice. Not sure if I should be pm'ing more people or not. I think at this point I will contact a couple from my original tribe and see what they are hearing. (I'm going to guess they aren't hearing much either ) From my auction item, I won the trip back to the tomb. This time didn't go as well, which is really disappointing with how insecure I am feeling right now. I really didn't need to add a cursed coin to my collection. I'll continue to try my best because the reality is you just never know what may happen in the next vote/round. Have I missed anything? Sorry for the gap in the updates. The holidays sort of messed me up. I'll try to stay on track now, for as long as I last.

LOL!!! I can't believe how fast that comment was outdated. I believe Brady contacted me on im before it was even completely posted! And here is how the rest of my day went..... I sign onto aim today and Brady has quite a bit of info to share with me. Surprise! Guess that whole comment about wondering why alliances hadn’t become clear is now answered. First he says that Sydney, Marty, Jeff and Benry are in a f4 alliance. Then he says they plan to use him for a vote this round, and are planning to pull in Jenna and Charlie also, but doesn’t think those 2 are anything to them but a vote. He suggests we try to stay with Candice and Erinn, get Fabio and Edgardo and the 6 of us vote together to get one of them out. In looking at our options we consider voting out Marty but he mentions that it very easily could end in a tie and suggests we vote Jenna this round because it will be her that is eliminated if it is a tie since she has the most previous votes. I get a chance to talk to Erinn and explain everything to her, she agrees that Jenna may be best for the first but we all agree that this alliance has to stay quiet because we are pretty sure that Sydney has an immunity idol. So the vote is set for Jenna. At this point I am a little concerned that Brady could totally use this against me, but well, it’s kind of a go big or go home anyway sort of moment. If we did nothing our original tribe is down to 4, or 5 if you count Jenna but she is pretty set that she is staying in an alliance with Sydney. So they would have had the numbers to just eliminate us one at a time anyway. Time to make a move! I then get an im from Jenna, she tells me that she has joined an alliance with Sydney, Charlie and Marty during the tribe swap and just thought I should know. Ok… Not sure what I am to do with that info. She then tells me that Marty has decided that Candice is the vote this round and that Edgardo is next. Well, that’s interesting considering I’m in an alliance with Candice. Although I am sure people may not realize that yet. Bonus. I had talked to Jeff a little bit earlier and he said he hadn’t really heard who the vote was for, then messages me and says he heard Candice. Well, they just both confirmed what Brady told me and that they were planning to target Candice. She comes online and I give her the current state of everything. She doesn’t seem at all surprised that Marty has targeted her. And agrees to the vote for Jenna. We also discuss the idols a little bit and I mention that she and I could get an idol and she asks how. I tell her that with her one coin and my two we can claim one. I told her maybe we should and that it doesn’t matter to me if I send her the two coins just so one of us have the idol. She says no problem she will send me the coin so we can get an idol! She had told me previously about her prize being a double vote, but I didn’t feel it was my place to offer that info up so that we could vote Marty this round. I hope she understands that. I would have loved to do that and split the alliance in a big way, but for this round I think Jenna may be the safest bet. Next round we will have to be careful since I am pretty sure Sydney has the idol. I talk with Brady some more and he messages me later and says that Fabio is in, plans to vote Jenna and also has a vote Nullifier and will nullify 2 of the votes on Candice so there won’t be a tie and the vote should be 6 Jenna - 4 Candice. Then Brady says that Edgardo is also in agreement with the plan and will also vote Jenna. So while we aren’t exactly taking out one of the strong 4 of the alliance, I do hope that simply taking away one of their numbers will help us take control and get further in the game. New hope! So between Brady talking to the guys and me talking to Candice and Erinn we have pulled an alliance of 6 together in an afternoon. Brady still assures me I’m his f2 Let’s hope this works!! Oops! Benry has the extra votes, Candice has vote changers. Well she is using one, which should keep her safe this round. I don’t want Candice to leave but think we have everything in order that she will be staying. Shew! What a day! and that is probably way more information than you wanted to know! lol

It seems like our alliance stayed true and we can hopefully count on them to get through another tc. The talk this time seems much more scattered and disorganized from the other side. Not sure if that is their plan or they are really struggling that much to come together on a vote. I was feeling a bit concerned since I was already told that Marty is worried that I have an idol. So I have been trying to collect as much info as possible. Well Erinn sent me a pm saying that Jeff told her the vote is me. I would believe that because if they want me out they will try to blindside me. Brady and Jeff talked and he agreed to vote Benry, but then later just said he would vote majority. And seemed to give several sides, saying maybe Edgardo, etc. Brady feels that if Jeff is telling him Edgardo, or Benry and Erinn that the vote is me he definitely is hiding something and that I should play the idol. I trust Brady, but there will always be a concern in my mind that he is using this info against me. I really hope not. And I think if anything the last vote would have gone much different than it did. So I do think he is with me. I am playing the HII as much as I hate to do it. On the bright side, it will guarantee I survive this round and I get to the top row on the rememberance wall lol It's the small things that matter to me! lol Oh, one other concern with tonights vote is Benry's extra votes. If they actually do get themselves together and vote together they would have more votes than us, so whether Marty plays the idol or not if they all vote me I would go home. Well, I won't now, but gonna have to scrape together some more coins for future rounds I'm afraid.
