Double >:( - Round 9/10

Sleep is for Losers




Who needs sleep? This game...it's just the grandest thing on earth!! You lose sleep over it, but luckily this time it wasn't for the game. I have a feeling an all nighter will be coming soon though, I'm just biding my time...preparing!!

I am not sure if I want Sydney moving forward. She has been weird lately when we talk and I talk to Danielle far more and on a more personal level too. I don't know if I plan to take Danielle farther or not, I just have to see what is left open.

I have a feeling Kim will dispose of myself, Sydney, and DD mid merge or so (if we all make it that far) and I'm more in a state of mind where I would like to make the move first...maybe not vote her out directly, but start taking out some of her allies. She plays like she isn't as well connected, but I think that she is the best connected left in the game.

I definitely see all of our original ties getting severed as the game goes on and I think that's what the game aims to do - make or break you. Pretty soon we will all choose what is best for us to win...I can only hope that means me going to the end, but it likely isn't. I'm not sure of everyone's plans, but I'm starting to lay my ground with other people in the likely event some of my stronger allies fall through and become harmful to me.

I don't know when the plan is for me to make my moves, if any, against them, but like Cochran said, "This game is about timing" and I need to visualize and see the opportune moments and not let them slip.

[Judd Sergeant]

So basically since I didn't throw it last time, Sydney is asking me to throw the challenge THIS time because "I owe her". I HATE throwing challenges and she said she has been talking to people on my tribe and there is no chance of me leaving and I've talked to people on my tribe and it seems it will be either Wanda or Chase, but you never know what will happen in the midst of things. I don't want to risk going home and I hate Tribal. Whenever you go to Tribal, there is always a chance of you going home unless you're immune which I will not be. If we lose this challenge, I will definitely be staying low key and just letting others make the decisions because I don't want to say or do something that will turn the target on me. The only issue I foresee is that I am tagged to both "sides" and both will be expecting my vote. Good place to be in, but a hard decision to make.


what to do, what to do, what to do.

Ah hell!! I'll throw it because if we win, Mary is likely leaving and that is not someone I want to lose before I get a shot of being with them. But I am a bit peeved that it's expected of me to throw...I almost don't want to, but I also calculated the posting portion time when I had been up straight through the night, so as you can imagine, my math was off initially and I made a grand error in my betting. LUCKILY, it is doable, but I'll have to be quick. Basically a piece every 6 seconds of the puzzle and I have to hit every post on the 15 second mark...doable, but probably not. But, if I'm throwing the challenge, the time I've set for myself will make it easy to appear as though I still attempted it because it's a ridiculously hard time. Everything works out in the end, I suppose.

[Judd Sergeant]

And I'm too prideful, so I'm going to attempt to do it and then if I beat the time, I will just wait to post the last post until my time is done...I really don't think I can complete this all in time though, but we'll see.

[Judd Sergeant]

GOD I wish that I wasn't throwing that so I could shove it in whoever's face made me do it in 22! Probably didn't expect it, but I did...unfortunately, I had to wait until my time ran out to post my last one to make sure that I finished it but just over the time limit.

UGH!!! My pride makes me want to go to every single person and be like "I finished it in the time limit, but I threw the challenge so I waited", but I can't...so I will boast about it here, Elyse style!!!

"I'm the most winningest at puzzles and no one can beat me at them here because I'm amazing!! Basically, the reason why I'm so good is because I took the velocity of the pace my mouse moves and paired it with the natural balance of my vision and quick sleight of hand in order to successfully and unequivocally butt rape this puzzle to the inner most depths of puzzle hell where it sits and naturally and undoubtedly whimpers at the sheer thought that I made it my bitch."

*Andy snort*

edit: On a side note, what will suck more is if we still win this challenge and then I looked pathetic and didn't sore for my team for nothing. No way to explain it, I will just look like a failure. ( ._.)

You Make Your Own Bed





I have yet to talk to Alexis...interested what may happen. I don't know if they will really go for Chase or if they will try to throw people's votes elsewhere to get out like DD or something.

I don't know. I'm hoping this round doesn't screw over one of us when we shouldn't have even thrown the challenge in the first place. I'm kinda mad Syd says I owe her this throw after not throwing the last one. She would have been fine and who knows when someone decides to rise up and start a revolution against a bigger player; not saying I am one, but I am attached to a few of them and could be seen as their doll/pawn/second vote and someone they think is beneficial to get out.

Talking to Shawna, Chase, and DD in a chat though and it seems we're about to make a pretty underhanded move to get out Alexis. Wanda is a pretty much non-entity at this point and can go whenever. She's been saved 3 times by someone choosing to make a different move, so she shouldn't count herself lucky. Hopefully this one goes over and Alexis will be gone meaning another semi-threat out of the game field.

I'm growing much closer to Danielle round by round and we're both in a similar boat and looking towards moving on with similar people. I spend a lot of time with her so I figure I'm much closer to her than others.

I told Candice and Colby that I threw the challenge basically to save them and make sure they were safe knowing I'm fine over here. While that is less true for Colby, I also told him I did it to save Mari. This was to hopefully make them think I'm very much with them. I am very much with Candice, but Colby is someone I could potentially use down the line and I keep making subtle conversations with him to lead him into believing him and I have a shot together.

Bleh...this round could be more messy for me, but I'll try to stay very low key and just stay in tune to what is happening. Right now, it seems this round is bad for DD having damage control and trying to flip this vote...this is for her, this has nothing to do with me.

Let's get this vote over with.

[Judd Sergeant]

I just realized that I'm the last 3 time player in the game (if you don't count Kim).

What I simply mean is I'm the last "favorite" standing. That's an interesting feat; not something I really sought out to do, but I guess it's an accomplishment! =P

[Judd Sergeant]

Also, talking to Kim, she wants Chase gone but is voting Wanda with us because she promised...while on the flip side, Danielle is planning to go against the Wanda vote and take out Alexis from right under Kim's nose.

Kim was drunk last night (and her and I had a wonderful conversation by the way) and so Danielle and I didn't think it would be a good idea to bring up that we were voting Alexis to her while she was intoxicated. So, we thought we would tell her when she was sober...but I'm talking to her and she said she wants Chase but doing Wanda for us. I feel like if we then do Alexis and we tell her about it, which I think we HAVE to in order to not lose a significant amount of trust, Kim will just rally everyone voting Wanda and get them to vote Chase instead in which case we would be screwed.

Plus, for me personally, the fact I'm leaving on Friday with then very limited access to aim and the game in general, I don't want to be in a scramble position where Kim no longer has my back. I need cover while I'm gone, so now isn't the best time to be making an underhanded move that I don't even need to make.

I'm going to tell Danielle we need to call it off and then I will tell Chase and Shawna to go for Wanda. Bleh, this is stupid, but Alexis leaving doesn't really benefit me a ton as much as it does Danielle and Shawna and although they are allies, Alexis is no power threat to them anyways so they shouldn't worry. Sigh...I just can't afford Kim to lose trust in me and I can't risk the vote flipping and losing Chase at this point in time. Wanda is no benefit to me and her going is enough right now and rather simple.

[Judd Sergeant]

The better move for long term game is to obviously vote out Alexis because she is well connected, but I honestly don't think it is worth possibly losing my cover from Kim right now. She would be furious...which would be funny...and Alexis is obviously smarter of a move.

And basically I vetoed it initially and so people are flipping back, but what if I went for it?

Vee, Kim, Miki - voting Wanda
Wanda, Alexis - likely voting Chase
DD, myself, Chase, Shawna - vote Alexis

It would be completely underhanded, but Alexis is well connected and has a lot more friends than I initially realized...the only thing is I feel I'm someone she feels close to. I have NO relationship with Vee which makes me rather flip the vote to Vee instead.

I mean, Alexis would be mad, but I could easily divert that saying I made it not Wanda and not you, what more do you want?

Kim would be the issue. I don't think she'd come after me and DD, but I think that she would be really hurt. But Kim needs to be knocked down a couple notches and this is the round to do it. Risky? YES!! Worth it in the end? I would bet my life on it!!

So, pulling rugs is always fun and pulling the rug from under Vecepia after she threw the challenge thought she was safe would be hilarious!!! =)

[Judd Sergeant]

Ok so now it looks as though Wanda was told about the Alexis vote by DD and is voting Alexis with us, while Alexis, Vee, Kim, and Miki are voting Wanda.

So if Wanda was smart, she would keep her yap shut and just go with it and vote Alexis in order to save herself. She could obviously tell we are voting Alexis, but I'm not sure how beneficial that would be for her. Not sure who they would target either.

I'm a bit nervous, but I don't think this vote would fall on me even if the vote was exposed. I'm not looking forward to damage control, but I think this is the smartest move and a necessary one.

[Judd Sergeant]

This is a bad round...I don't think our move pulled through.

[Judd Sergeant]

This Means War




You know when I said an angry bear was on the loose from when Ibe left? Well, I didn't realize it could get worse.

Basically I chewed out Chase for guilt tripping me into voting Alexis and then flipping everything on me making me look like an idiot.

It's honestly time to stop playing scared and to go after things! I'm not going to sit back and let this stuff happen. I've been hibernating for far too long and I'm done with it! I'm going to go out with fire, if anything and I want to make this game hell for some of these people.

If we swap or merge, people better watch out because I think I'm far more dangerous than people think of me...and I want to prove it.

Hopefully me leaving won't have too much of an impact...maybe it will be best for me to lay under for a bit until the right time.

I no longer want anything to do with Chase or Shawna and if we go to Tribal again, they might find themselves going home a lot sooner than they wanted.

I'm done with some of these people and I'm done carrying friendships over the game - this means war!

[Brenda "DropsHerBooty" Lowe]

Holy shit do you ever take that puka shell necklace off?

PS that minute where you went to the bathroom was like the most awkward thing ever

[Judd Sergeant]

Haha yes I do. Usually I'm wearing some sort of necklace though! And my parents get back from Mexico soon so assuming I'm still around when I get back in a week or so, I will have new necklaces for you!! =)

Also, yeah...I had to peepee from nerves. Pardon me.

[Judd Sergeant]

And for the record, underhanded is the name of the game.

That was the most underhanded thing ever...and I thought WE were bad... =X

Apparently Alexis has got the spiel a lot, but Kim is the reason she is still in and then she did this to her. I'm surprised honestly that Vee and Alexis went for it and didn't just try to get Chase or Shawna out then and there...I wish they would have. =\
