Well that was fucking fun! Not gonna lie, my stint on Ahmar was pretty boring. I got into an alliance quick, and the peripheral players kinda took care of themselves. But now the real game begins!
I'll start off last night, before the swap. I got some decent talks in with Robb and Steph, who are again, my two strongest allies. Steph and I actually talked about the swap a bit, so we weren't totally blindsided, though we did think it was gonna happen after the next tribal simply for the sake of even numbers. But alas, there's a twist.
So Jeff announces that it's time to drop our buffs along with your jaws and I got the feeling that shit was about to finally get real. In the thread I think I did a good job of ingratiating myself with any potential allies with the dibs bit. People seemed to like that, notably Sebastian who also liked my joke about anti-vax parents, so whether he's faking or not, he's a player and a potential ally down the road. I also got a few comments from the ladies, fawning over Jed's hot bod, and all I gotta say is:
And then Jeff hits us with the new tribes, and boy did I luck out! I landed on Fenassa, but along with my two most trusted allies, Robb and Steph. It's a double edged sword, coming here with numbers you definitely have a target on your back, but it's nice to be able to talk about your new surroundings with people who won't lie to you. As for the old Ahmar members, Ghandia and Clay are on Ahmar and in the minority. I'm not worrying too much about what happens with them. I like Ghandia but we didn't really connect on a personal level. I'd be happy to see her again but not too upset if I didn't. In fact, them getting voted out would help lower our target level. But oh well. Can't really influence what happens over there too much.
Now it's time for the challenge. And hey, it's a challenge I'll actually be half decent at! After last challenge's debacle I take more of a step forward when it comes to challenge planning, and even though we lost I feel like we actually did a really good job. We were organized and communicated well. Chelsea did well with her part, Steph and I got the final phrase pretty quickly, but unfortunately we struggled just a bit with the scrambled words. They made a poor move over on Ahmar by posting there list publicly, but sadly we couldn't capitalize on it. Once they posted their list I pointed out several times that if our list is the exact same as theirs then we automatically lose because they beat us on speed, and despite saying several times that we have to find some sort of difference with these words, we didn't find any difference, and we lost. God fucking dammit.
Oh well, we lost. Move on. Now, onto our tribe dynamics. Our tribe has 8 people consisting of 3 from Old Ahmar, 3 from Old Jellal, and 2 from old Fenassa, with Kellyn(Jellal) as the nomad. Pretty quickly the Jellal girls(Angela and Chelsea) are okay with dropping their third: Brendon. Apparently he's been pretty inactive. I'm cool with it. Fuck inactives and that's one less potential number for them.
Now the socializing kicks into overdrive. Davie logs off pretty quickly, and Pat is off and on, leaving Old Ahmar and Old Jellal to get to talking. I chat up the Jellal girls pretty well. I think we're on good terms. I talked to Angela less but made a better connection with her, and there may be something going on there. Chelsea and Kellyn made some negative comments about her, and in my opinion, they don't really add up. Kellyn said that Angela doesn't even really talk at all, but she seemed pretty talkative to me. Can't tell if they're trying to play us or not. It would've taken some good fore-
thought to devise a plan to pretend that Angela is on the outs.
These Jellal girls. Already trying to get an all-girls alliance with Stephanie. And just like on Ahmar, Steph tells me about it pretty quickly. I do trust her a lot, but I am a little more worried about this girl's alliance than the previous one, seeing as they'd actually be able to be a majority over here(with Kellyn). So I've gotta keep an eye on Steph and monitor that situation, especially since there seems to be some issues between her and Robb. They both came to me independently and filed complaints about each other. I think I managed to talk them down, but again, that's something I have to monitor and keep them strong.
I actually do like the Jellal girls. Moreso Angela and Kellyn. Kellyn is pretty funny and seems like some spot on casting from you guys. But she's the nomad, so I have to be careful of what I tell her. And she should be careful of what she tells me.
well like I said ill be back well before tribal tmw
Kellyn 11:57pm 4th Mar
I will say Nat trusts you
Kellyn 11:57pm 4th Mar
so hopefully we can all work together
I don't think this message was meant for me. I've never had anything to do with Natalie. So unless for some reason Natalie has decided to single me out, this makes no sense. I can't really tell who the message was for, but I'll definitely use this as fuel to make Steph weary of them...And really, I should probably just start coming up with some lies.
As the night waned, people started heading offline and more of my focus went to Robb. We strengthened our bond a bit, including making a Final 2 deal. Funny enough, right after our Final 2 deal is made, he remembers that Gabby passed along the first two clues for the Fenassa Idol. Definitely gotta put some work in on that. Hopefully one of us gets it.
Tribe Trust Rankings:
1. Stephanie
2. Robb
3. Angela
4. Chelsea
5. Davie
6. Pat
7. Brendon
As of now the plan in my mind is to boot Brendan, hope that Kellyn doesn't decide to fuck us up, and then take out Chelsea.
