Episode #2 - Entering The Game

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

WOOOOOOO!
My 3rd time playing iSurv1vor. I set an iSurv1vor record. That is pretty kick ass. I'm sure this season will be just as fun as the other seasons I played.
Everyone welcomed me to their camp with open arms. It easily could have been fake smiles welcoming me to their tribe, as it means there's just another person to get past to make it to the finals... but I honestly feel that some of the people were happy to see me.
The first person I talked to when I came into the game was the crazy man Bud. Boy is he a character. The reason I spoke with him first is simple . We are in another game together. Survivor Horror.
I figured he would end up being my main ally.. but I found it very awkward talking with him. He is just an odd character. I dont know how long I could go sticking by his side.
But then.. thank Dagda.. I talked with someone else who I really clicked with. We get along real well, and talk about our strategy all the time. This person is Vartevar. I really like him. I think he will be my #1 ally in this game, and I look forward to going far with him.

Thanks Sandy for bringing me back <3. I am pretty pumped!!

Well, coming into this game, my first goal was to figure out the tribe dynamics. Figure out who is close with who, rumors, etc. In my short stay here I think I have figured out quite a bit.
Vartevar and LaFrance dont get along very well
David is the outcast of the tribe
Bud and Park are pretty tight (I am pretty sure)
Vartevar gets along with the ladies

As for the other tribe:

Ginny doesnt get along with Bud from my tribe
There is apparently a tight 3 way alliance of Robbie, Jake, Luke

I wonder How Ginny is doing over there. I wonder if she is fitting in well and making some friends. I am pretending like I am loyal with her for now so I can try to get an idea of what is going on over there. But really, I dont think I can really stick with Ginny. We will see what happens, but it would just be too obvious of an alliance.

According to Vartevar, my alliance should be:
Taylor, Vartevar, Jamie, Mel, Teagan

So far I get along real well with Vartevar, and now Jamie. I talked with Jamie a lot. She is a really sweet, innocent girl... but that haunts me at the same time. Christina was the same way at first... *chills go up my spine*.
I am going to have to chat more with Mel and Teagan.

The problem here is that I am in another game with Bud and Park. And Bud was originally my main ally. As weird as he is, I kinda like the guy. I just hope we dont have to go to Tribal Council much so I dont have to make anyone upset.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

This Bud guy really is crazy. He is hard to talk with, and reminds me of Coach, but he sometimes gives out info which could be beneficial to me. Such as this:

"Bud" (12:57:04 AM): and then on the other tribe
"Bud" (12:57:17 AM): u got ppl like Robbie who told me in our meeting to determine tribes
"Bud" (12:57:24 AM): he wanted to work with me
[e-mail] (12:57:34 AM): haha nice
[e-mail] (12:57:41 AM): So in a way we can control both sides
"Bud" (12:57:43 AM): Luke who I like but 2 nights before this game lied to my face about who he was voting for and voted me out
"Bud" (12:57:51 AM): so I don't really trust him
"Bud" (12:58:03 AM): Alex who I love to death but feel he could be an alias
[e-mail] (12:58:10 AM): oh really?

Bud thinks I am 100% with him. I believe he thinks that I am just this nice guy who likes him and wants to ride his coattail in this game. Well you might have to read up on me buddy. I am not nearly as innocent as I seem. Gotta watch what kind of info you give me muahaha.

This is what he tells me when I enter the game:

"Bud" (11:38:34 PM): like I told ya before
"Bud" (11:38:37 PM): just be real with me
"Bud" (11:38:40 PM): if you don't agree tell me
"Bud" (11:38:46 PM): if ya wanna vote differently tell me
"Bud" (11:38:49 PM): I don't want a yes man
"Bud" (11:38:52 PM): I want real

And when I ask him about what he is thinking alliance-wise, I get this"

[e-mail] (12:53:46 AM): any idea what you are thinking alliance-wise yet?
"Bud" (12:54:27 AM): honestly
"Bud" (12:54:32 AM): this tribe is my alliance
"Bud" (12:54:37 AM): all this is off the record

What the fuck? You are telling me this is REAL? And if you are being serious, how would being allied with you help me at all? The whole tribe is your alliance? wtf is that shit? lol. What's worse is that he contradicted himself by saying earlier that he is working with Robbie from the other tribe. Oh Bud....... you silly man. Dont ask me to be real with you if you cant be real with me.
As for now, I will look him in the eyes and and agree with him and let him know how loyal I am to him.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

OMG, this guy is psycho. I actually think he is going to hunt me down and murder me if I vote against him at all this game. He showed me a link to a game where he entered a closing statement in the finals. Look at this section of it 0_o

As I previously mentioned you are all here to name a winner. That is why I found it only appropriate to entitle this entry "What Is A Winner". See I do take everythign I do seriously so after becoming the Final HoH I turned to the internet to find out exactly what being a winner truly meant. Much of what I found inspired me. I asked myself do I embody all that this entrust. So I ask that you do the same thing before making a decision. I ask that you ask yourself what being a winner means to you. I ask that you read what I found below:

Webster Dictionary
win·ner
Pronunciation: \'wi-n?r\
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
: one that wins: as a: one that is successful especially through praiseworthy ability and hard work b: a victor especially in games and sports c: one that wins admiration

To accompany this definition I took it a step further and turned to inspiration from those that came before me from all fields and genres. What I found were 1000s of quotes but these few spoke to me directly and because of that I bring them now to you:

“Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.”
~Denis Waitley (American Motivational Speaker & Author of self help books)

“Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.”
Vince Lombardi quotes (American Football Coach, national symbol of single-minded determination to win.1913-1970)

“A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.”
Larry Bird quotes (American professional Basketball Player, b.1956

“If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. The key is to make mistakes faster than the competition, so you have more changes to learn and win.”
John W. Holt, Jr. quotes

"The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better”
Barbara Pletcher quotes

“Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.”
John Wooden quotes (American , b.1910)

“Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.”
Arthur Ashe quotes (American social Activist and Tennis Player, the first black winner of a major men's singles championship. 1943-1993)

“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in
the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual
goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest
is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades
will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”
Michael Jordan quotes (American NBA Basketball Player, widely considered to be the greatest player in the history of the game, b.1963)

“Winning is nice if you don't lose your integrity in the process.”
Arnold Horshak quotes

“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.”
lilmmoe Wilma Rudolph quotes (First American woman Runner to win three gold medals at a single Olympics. 1940-1994)

“There is no "i" in team but there is in win”
jhinton23 Michael Jordan quotes (American NBA Basketball Player, widely considered to be the greatest player in the history of the game, b.1963)

“When it comes to winning, you need the skill and the will.”
Frank Tyger quotes

Voltaire: Each player must accept the cards that life deals him or her. But once in hand one must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Sandy's questions:

- How have the first couple of days been for you? Are you enjoying your time in Arabia thus far?
~ I definitely am enjoying the game right now. I was just honored to be able to play again. I am not going to hold back either. I am definitely playing to win

- Tell us a little bit about your tribe, who do you like/dislike on the team?
~ I already explained most of it, but... I like Vartevar, Jamie, and Bud(even though he is odd). I dont dislike anyone yet.

- What were your first thoughts when you saw that CJ was the first person voted out of the game?
~ I wasnt even in the game, but I kinda feel bad if she truly was real.


- Tell us a little bit about your current alliances; who are they with, do you trust this alliance, are you willing to backstab this alliance to further yourself in the game? Explain.
~ I currently am allied with Bud. I also have an alliance with Vartevar which is supposed to turn into a bigger alliance containing us 2 and the 3 girls on the tribe.

- What are your thoughts on Ginny and Taylor joining the game, and how does this Saboteur twist effect your strategy?
~ I am very happy they joined. Definitely my favorite part of the game so far. As for the mole, Bud and myself did a lot of talking about it. We figured that it woulnt have just been random. There MUST have been a method behind it. I cant see how else it would have been determined other than the order Bud and Robbie chose players. My prediction is that it was the first player from each tribe to be chosen, making it Park and Jake. We also agreed that they MUST be getting something out of being the mole. Our theory is that each time they can get their tribe to lose a challenge, they get clues to an idol. And maybe if we vote out the mole, we get the clues that the mole had. Just theories, but it fits.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Bleeker wrote a message on the challenge board saying he didnt know how to post an image. I immediately private messaged him and asked him for his AIM so I could help him. My intentions were to have him on my good side obviously. This is his reply back:

Hey, thanks man.

Someone had already posted a thing on how to do it in the Tribe thread!

But thanks a million anyway, I appreciate the offer even though you're on the opposing tribe.
Just shows how much of a good sport you are.

My AIM is: AndrewBleeker18

I'll chat to you when I get on there next

Thanks again, I appreciate it.

I had a brief conversation with Bleeker from the other tribe during the . I just wanted him to see me as an honest, friendly guy who is just here to have a good time:

[e-mail] (4:54:46 AM): Hey Bleeker
"Bleeker" (4:55:42 AM): Hey man
[e-mail] (4:56:11 AM): Hows it goin?
"Bleeker" (4:56:39 AM): Not too bad I guess. The challenge is frustrating me =P
"Bleeker" (4:56:43 AM): What about you?
[e-mail] (4:56:51 AM): haha I figured it would be frustrating you
[e-mail] (4:56:57 AM): You dont have anyone helping you
[e-mail] (4:58:01 AM): I happen to reember you being from Australia for some reason. Is that true?
"Bleeker" (4:58:59 AM): Yep
[e-mail] (4:59:01 AM): cool
"Bleeker" (4:59:08 AM): It's 8pm here
[e-mail] (4:59:05 AM): wow
[e-mail] (4:59:12 AM): So it must be tough for you
[e-mail] (4:59:17 AM): the challenges are at weird times
"Bleeker" (4:59:25 AM): But I guess there is no one else on at the moment in my Tribe :/
"Bleeker" (4:59:41 AM): It has it's advantages, and it has it's disadvantages
[e-mail] (4:59:38 AM): yeah
"Bleeker" (5:00:04 AM): I should be holding the advantage at the moment, but no one else is on!!!]
[e-mail] (5:00:20 AM): I know, I actually feel bad for you
[e-mail] (5:00:26 AM): I felt bad seeing you constantly trying
[e-mail] (5:00:31 AM): and not having anyone to help you
[e-mail] (5:01:17 AM): By the way, if you ever need help with anything such as posting images n stuff, just send me a message
"Bleeker" (5:01:36 AM): Haha, feel bad if I go
[e-mail] (5:01:38 AM): i know I'm from another tribe, but I've played this game before. Ive had my chance to play
[e-mail] (5:01:45 AM): I wanna make sure u new guys enjoy it
"Bleeker" (5:02:02 AM): Okie dokes. Thanks for that.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Game, set, match. Bud and I absolutely annihilated that challenge. I wanted to prove myself to the tribe. CJ was voted out, and everyone advanced 1 step into the game. All of a sudden 2 more people drop in. I could understand how that would upset some people. I wanted to try to make myself feel welcome by doing well for the tribe and making them feel that if they keep me around, we wont have to be visiting tribal council very often.
I have talked with Bud and Vartevar a lot about Park. Park is acting weird and keeps bringing up things like LaFrance and Vartevar not getting a long. And about Ginny and Bud not getting along. We already know about Bud and Ginny not getting along. No need to constantly bring it up. It's like he is trying to sabotage Bud. We all have a feeling he is the mole.
Speaking of Bud and Vartevar. I get this vibe that those 2 are pretty close. Vartevar didnt mention him as part of our possible alliance, but..... I just have this hunch that they are closer than he made it seem. If that is true, Id just love it if Vartevar admitted it. I think Me, Bud, Vartevar would be an amazing alliance.

I think I have played a pretty good social game so far too. I have talked with Teagan a lot. It seem like she isnt into strategy talk at all, so I didnt even bring up "a" word (alliance). But I talk with her a whole bunch about random non game related stuff. I am hoping that she feels comfortable with me.
I've talked with Amanda from the other tribe slightly too. I was friendly with her, and even got her to give me more info without me even really having to push that hard for info. She mentioned that the vote was 5-2-1 the first TC, and that Chris should be going this time. Amanda might be recieving a few votes too. This is our conversation from last night and today if you get bored and want to read through it:

[e-mail] (11:46:12 PM): Hey Amanda

[e-mail] (9:41:32 PM): I dont think she was

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

I finally hear more about the tribal dynamics. I was still a little lost for a while. I wasnt sure where everyone stood. I had a huge convo with Bud, and he told me a lot. Here is part of our convo. It is long, but contains a lot of information:

"Bud" (10:58:35 PM): back on the honesty thing
"Bud" (10:58:50 PM): as this stays between us
[e-mail] (11:00:13 PM): alright
"Bud" (11:01:40 PM): but I have been with V since the start of this game
[e-mail] (11:01:51 PM): haha awsome
[e-mail] (11:01:55 PM): He is a really nice guy
"Bud" (11:02:03 PM): he is another I mesh with
"Bud" (11:02:09 PM): I actually met him through his bro
"Bud" (11:02:16 PM): I'm a judge in Facebook Idol
[e-mail] (11:02:23 PM): yeah u told me that
"Bud" (11:02:23 PM): and his bro is one of the contestants
[e-mail] (11:02:27 PM): nice
"Bud" (11:02:29 PM): well
"Bud" (11:02:41 PM): there was this thing they formed called the Facebook Alliance
[e-mail] (11:02:51 PM): ahhh
"Bud" (11:02:57 PM): Park didn't know I talked to V
[e-mail] (11:03:00 PM): There was a Facebook alliance in my first ever ORG
"Bud" (11:03:01 PM): as we have kept it hush hush
"Bud" (11:03:13 PM): Park told me everything about the alliance
"Bud" (11:03:35 PM): and said he could get me in it
"Bud" (11:03:43 PM): prob was I TECHNICALLY was there
"Bud" (11:03:46 PM): because of V
"Bud" (11:03:54 PM): now we come to tribe selection
"Bud" (11:04:07 PM): Park wanted CJ as she was part of the facebook alliance
"Bud" (11:04:16 PM): prob is V didn't trust her
"Bud" (11:04:22 PM): and well of course I didn't
"Bud" (11:04:29 PM): so I said I know how to take care of that
"Bud" (11:04:39 PM): get her on the other tribe and seperate her from Park
[e-mail] (11:06:15 PM): nice
[e-mail] (11:06:22 PM): Do you think V likes me?
[e-mail] (11:06:27 PM): I like him
"Bud" (11:06:28 PM): let me finish lol
[e-mail] (11:06:31 PM): ok
"Bud" (11:06:35 PM): so I knew who their alliance was
"Bud" (11:06:42 PM): we come to tribe selection
"Bud" (11:07:01 PM): 2 days prior I'm in immortals and Luke lied to me about going to vote me out and wanted to work with me
"Bud" (11:07:10 PM): so I didn't have that trust there on him
"Bud" (11:07:46 PM): so when Robbie wanted Luke and Jake both ppl I didn't trust it worked perfectly as it allowed me to get Jamie and V
"Bud" (11:07:59 PM): as well as Teagan
"Bud" (11:08:41 PM): the alliance was like Park, V, Teagan, Jamie and I think Amanda and CJ
"Bud" (11:08:55 PM): I couldn't risk having them all here as I would be outnumbered
"Bud" (11:09:13 PM): hence why Amanda became leverage
"Bud" (11:09:23 PM): we both did compete for her but it allowed me to get LaFrance
"Bud" (11:09:50 PM): and allowed me to put Alex on the other tribe so I could keep him safer than if he was on this tribe
"Bud" (11:10:07 PM): thing is talking to V tonight he is fed up with Park
[e-mail] (11:10:17 PM): I could tell
"Bud" (11:10:31 PM): I flat out told him u were the star of the last comp
"Bud" (11:10:40 PM): he offered up a 6 person alliance
[e-mail] (11:11:00 PM): That would be awsome
"Bud" (11:11:01 PM): again plz don't say anything
"Bud" (11:11:05 PM): he offered
[e-mail] (11:11:09 PM): ok
"Bud" (11:11:18 PM): him, me, you, jamie, mel, teagan
[e-mail] (11:11:22 PM): Not even to V?
"Bud" (11:11:33 PM): we are suppose to talk more about it tomorrow
[e-mail] (11:11:36 PM): ok
[e-mail] (11:12:06 PM): Because you realize how dominant of an alliance that would be
[e-mail] (11:12:14 PM): You, Me, and V are strong players
"Bud" (11:12:24 PM): and then if we make merge with those 6
"Bud" (11:12:31 PM): we have Amanda and Alex on the other side
"Bud" (11:12:36 PM): and potentially Robbie
[e-mail] (11:12:54 PM): cool
[e-mail] (11:13:08 PM): Im just worried where that puts me, bein with all these facebook people
[e-mail] (11:13:10 PM): But it sounds good
"Bud" (11:13:38 PM): thats my thing
[e-mail] (11:13:39 PM): I mean I'm from Facebook, but dont really play Faceook games
"Bud" (11:13:50 PM): I wasn't part of that meeting they had
"Bud" (11:13:54 PM): but I trust V
[e-mail] (11:14:22 PM): so they had a meeting already?
[e-mail] (11:14:28 PM): like
[e-mail] (11:14:31 PM): before the game?
"Bud" (11:14:34 PM): according to Park it happened pre tribe
[e-mail] (11:14:40 PM): Oh ok
"Bud" (11:14:49 PM): but when Park was telling me this he didn't know about me and V
"Bud" (11:14:52 PM): and still doesn't really
"Bud" (11:15:06 PM): I brought that point up to V tonight
"Bud" (11:15:17 PM): I'm like how do I know if I agree to this I'm not getting backdoored
"Bud" (11:15:23 PM): how do I know they aren't loyal to Park
"Bud" (11:15:30 PM): and he told me they were with him
"Bud" (11:15:42 PM): thing is strategically it would make sense for us
[e-mail] (11:16:08 PM): Yeah
"Bud" (11:16:09 PM): us being me and u
[e-mail] (11:16:17 PM): I agree
"Bud" (11:16:25 PM): my thing is
"Bud" (11:16:28 PM): in this series
"Bud" (11:16:33 PM): do they do 3 person finals or 2
[e-mail] (11:16:44 PM): Sandy switches it up
[e-mail] (11:16:48 PM): sometimes 3 sometimes 2
[e-mail] (11:16:57 PM): You never really know
"Bud" (11:17:10 PM): who do you like
"Bud" (11:17:18 PM): I don't want u to think I'm stacking the deck or something
[e-mail] (11:17:29 PM): Who do I like in this game?
"Bud" (11:17:32 PM): yea
[e-mail] (11:17:41 PM): I like V
"Bud" (11:17:45 PM): I want u to feel just as comfortable
[e-mail] (11:17:51 PM): Oh
"Bud" (11:17:52 PM): not just go with it because u think u have to
"Bud" (11:18:01 PM): so if u don't wanna let me know
[e-mail] (11:18:02 PM): And I get along well with Teagan, but
"Bud" (11:18:07 PM): and we can work on something else
"Bud" (11:18:13 PM): well I'm not sold on Teagan
[e-mail] (11:18:14 PM): I feel as though she refuses to talk any strategy wit me
[e-mail] (11:18:26 PM): Like I will slightly bring up something to do with the game
[e-mail] (11:18:32 PM): and I can tell she isnt rly into it
"Bud" (11:18:45 PM): because I know she is solidly behind V
[e-mail] (11:18:48 PM): So it makes me wonder if she doesnt trust me, or has other plans, or what
"Bud" (11:18:53 PM): for the time being she is a vote
[e-mail] (11:19:06 PM): I get along with Jamie too
[e-mail] (11:19:14 PM): But I have this feeling
[e-mail] (11:19:21 PM): That she is this sweet innocent girl
[e-mail] (11:19:33 PM): who is ready to stab you in the back repeatedly when the time comes lo;
[e-mail] (11:19:35 PM): lol*
[e-mail] (11:20:04 PM): Ive just had a bad history with allying good looking girls haha
"Bud" (11:20:07 PM): V swears by her
[e-mail] (11:20:12 PM): But Im not saying I dont wanna ally her
"Bud" (11:20:13 PM): and her loyalty
"Bud" (11:20:22 PM): notice a trend here?
[e-mail] (11:20:25 PM): Just giving you my opinion on people
"Bud" (11:20:29 PM): oh I nkow
"Bud" (11:20:30 PM): know
"Bud" (11:20:38 PM): thing is these ppl are loyal to V
[e-mail] (11:20:42 PM): yeah
"Bud" (11:21:01 PM): I wanna work with you and V
"Bud" (11:21:08 PM): that would be my F3
[e-mail] (11:21:14 PM): I 100% agree
[e-mail] (11:21:20 PM): I wrote that in my confessional
[e-mail] (11:21:27 PM): That I think the most dominant alliance
[e-mail] (11:21:30 PM): would be you, me, V
"Bud" (11:21:34 PM): and someone deserving wins
[e-mail] (11:21:45 PM): for sure
[e-mail] (11:21:57 PM): And I know all 3 of us would feel good about it
"Bud" (11:22:15 PM): thing is this
[e-mail] (11:22:23 PM): Better than if we ditched our friends and took people who didnt even enjoy the game
"Bud" (11:22:23 PM): we take those 6 into merge ok
[e-mail] (11:22:32 PM): ok
[e-mail] (11:22:38 PM): sorry, go ahead
[e-mail] (11:22:50 PM): actually u type it out
[e-mail] (11:22:55 PM): Imma go to the bathroom for a sec
"Bud" (11:22:58 PM): lol
"Bud" (11:23:31 PM): drop LaFrance and Park before merge
"Bud" (11:23:40 PM): LaFrance if left to long could bite us
"Bud" (11:24:08 PM): hope (and I know V wouldn't agree) that they drop Amanda before merge
"Bud" (11:24:56 PM): that would give us some chance as an insurance policy JUST in case they decided to try and bounce us (which I don't think V would) after merge
"Bud" (11:25:05 PM): I mean that would give them 4 going into merge
[e-mail] (11:25:47 PM): k back
[e-mail] (11:26:13 PM): Yeah
[e-mail] (11:26:23 PM): being with too many of the facebook people could be scary
"Bud" (11:27:23 PM): post merge
"Bud" (11:27:27 PM): yea
"Bud" (11:27:42 PM): I don't wanna be outnumbered as an insurance policy JUST in case u know
"Bud" (11:27:48 PM): like we talked about earlier
"Bud" (11:27:53 PM): we both had alliances turn on us
"Bud" (11:28:00 PM): u learn to take insurance out
"Bud" (11:28:16 PM): but like I said I think V would stick to his word
"Bud" (11:28:35 PM): he seems to have integrity
[e-mail] (11:28:50 PM): Yeah
