Stephs thoughts

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

I am sad BJ didnt make it, I guess he must be busy with real life stuff, but would have been fun to play with him again.

I am very pissed I missed the challenge, but whos fault is that? sherea's. thats who.

Chat with Natalie (altho she is called Brianna in this chatlog cos i had her saved from another game):

(9:24:34 AM) Brianna: Hey
(9:24:36 AM) Brianna: Steph
(9:24:46 AM) Brianna: ?
(9:36:05 AM) Me: hey
(9:36:08 AM) Me: yeah
(9:36:09 AM) Me: whats up
(9:36:16 AM) Brianna: fine
(9:36:24 AM) Brianna: a little bit worried about the ic
(9:36:34 AM) Me: why?
(9:37:06 AM) Me: btw is this natalie?
(9:37:15 AM) Brianna: yup
(9:37:17 AM) Brianna: it's me
(9:37:35 AM) Me: ah okay. u mean cos u and me didnt compete in it at all? well the tree mail did say it was gonna go 24 hours\
(9:37:54 AM) Brianna: no
(9:38:05 AM) Me: oh u did help, my bad
(9:38:18 AM) Brianna: we suppose to wait for a lot of people online
(9:38:30 AM) Brianna: i mean our people
(9:38:39 AM) Brianna: so we can finish that faster
(9:39:52 AM) Brianna: but Sherea didn't wait
(9:40:05 AM) Me: oh yeah i see what u mean
(9:40:27 AM) Me: so i ended up missing it completely =\
(9:40:41 AM) Brianna: the time count from the first post, then she left it after Nay came
(9:40:46 AM) Brianna: it's not ur fault
(9:41:02 AM) Brianna: we're from different time zone
(9:41:24 AM) Me: yeah, and i said in the planning thread that ppl must tell me what time to come online, but no one did
(9:41:31 AM) Me: and i dunno why sherea randomly left after starting it
(9:41:47 AM) Brianna: yup
(9:41:59 AM) Brianna: if you look at the number of posts
(9:42:09 AM) Brianna: Purple & Yellow was so consistent
(9:42:22 AM) Brianna: so they must finish faster than us
(9:43:05 AM) Me: ugh, i hope that doesnt mean i will be in troubler
(9:43:22 AM) Brianna: I'm not going to vote you
(9:43:28 AM) Brianna: it's not your fault
(9:43:44 AM) Me: yeah, but i hope at least one other person also notices that
(9:43:56 AM) Brianna: Nay kinda upset too
(9:43:59 AM) Me: plus sherea is not trustworthy at all, we were allies for weeks and then she flipped to vote me out for no reason
(9:44:00 AM) Brianna: and Jenna too
(9:44:15 AM) Brianna: Nay & Jenna were upset too
(9:44:32 AM) Me: okay, well thats good then
(9:44:48 AM) Me: cos if we go to tribal, i would happily vote sherea if u guys wanted to
(9:45:25 AM) Brianna: I think right now it's obvious Sherea
(9:45:43 AM) Brianna: i think we probably lose the challenge too
(9:45:55 AM) Me: yeah, i dont get why she started all by herself
(9:46:11 AM) Brianna: yup then after a while she gone
(9:46:22 AM) Brianna: left Naonka alone
(9:46:33 AM) Brianna: I showed up after that
(9:46:47 AM) Brianna: and Jenna showed up around 1500
(9:47:18 AM) Me: maybe she didnt read the instructions properly or something
(9:48:55 AM) Brianna: yup
(9:50:06 AM) Me: anyway, well i am really glad u guys are on the same page with me then
(9:50:16 AM) Brianna: don't worry..
(9:50:23 AM) Me: we should totally stick together u and I, if u would be keen
(9:51:45 AM) Brianna: yup of course

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

wow i have been really lax at writing these! Bad girl! I will try be better at it.

So I think my tribe rocks right now, i have rocky and brett from my season, who will hopefully stick with me, altho i shud prob talk to them about it soon, monica seems friendly, i have my main ally Nat, and then there is a random Joel who I would prob try to vote out if we go to tc, cos i have no idea who he is lolol.

I am going to wake up at 5am for this challenge, i want to show I am an asset, esp after Sherea screwed me so badly in the first challenge, I need to prove myself.

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

ugh, i am so tired, and here we are sitting waiting for monica to arrive, cos i know that yellow tribe is massacring us at the moment, cos they are all online. I am so sleepy i want to go back to bed, but I guess I will sit here waiting to build fires cos i dont want to piss anyone on my tribe off, but its going to be a zombie like posting.

[Carlos Bernard]

that stinks

[Ian Rosenberger]

Aww. What are you thinking about going into TC? Are you getting along with your tribe?

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

FML. I was hoping we could all get online together, but my internet went down all day yesterday, but at least I helped at the beginning of the challenge. Quite frankly, I love Rocky, but man, sometimes he is way too spaced out, I cant believe he missed the whole thing, which is very bad for him, cause I dont want him to go, so I pmmed Nat and Brett asking what they thought about the vote, and sent this to rocky:

hey hey, i think u might be in trouble, or maybe me, i am not sure, but i trust nat from being on original pink tribe together, and I was hoping u, me and Brett can stick together, and I am hoping I can get all of us to vote for Joel, cos I dont see him as being a team player very




I mean, Monica not being ontime for the challenge, and then coming on and suddenyl going off again really hurt us, but i just dont like joel, for some reason. its like an instinct or whatever. also Ian ur dolphins are trippy.

so, i will have to wait and see, nat might be nervous about working with me and rocky and brett cos she might feel like a fourth wheel since rocky, brett and i were all in season 2 together, but i feel like we are the four strongest.

Oh well, will have to wait for them to reply/come on AIM to see what happens.

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

kk, so looks like i may have to vote rocky, even tho i <3 the boy, but really, i am caught between a rock and a hard place and a friggin giant beach lobster

(2:25:02 PM) Me: hey
(2:25:21 PM) Nat: Hey girl
(2:25:35 PM) Me: howre u>
(2:26:01 PM) Nat: i'm fine
(2:26:04 PM) Nat: you?
(2:26:08 PM) Me: i am okay thanks
(2:26:18 PM) Me: ugh i cant believe we have to go to tc again
(2:27:00 PM) Nat: yup i knew
(2:27:06 PM) Nat: did you heard anything
(2:27:07 PM) Nat: ?
(2:27:38 PM) Me: not yet, but i wanted to chat to you about it
(2:28:18 PM) Nat: okay..
(2:28:25 PM) Nat: i talked to Joel b4
(2:28:35 PM) Me: oh okay, what did he say? do u get a long with joel?
(2:29:11 PM) Nat: i'm cool with him.. playing a gama with him before. he's good at tribe challenges..
(2:29:41 PM) Nat: both of us are leaning towards Rocky
(2:29:44 PM) Me: well
(2:29:46 PM) Me: the thing is
(2:29:53 PM) Me: there are a crap load of season 4 players
(2:29:56 PM) Me: and joel is one of them
(2:30:01 PM) Me: and i think that if too many of them stay
(2:30:07 PM) Me: they are going to kill us all at merge
(2:30:25 PM) Me: plus did u see joel in his season? he was kinda crazy, not really a team player in my opinion
(2:30:44 PM) Nat: yup, that's why he's an easy target later
(2:30:52 PM) Nat: season 4 players don't like him
(2:31:10 PM) Me: how many ppl do u know from ur season that are playing that would stick with u come merge dyu think?
(2:31:24 PM) Nat: i'm not sure
(2:31:28 PM) Nat: i'm in season 4 too
(2:31:50 PM) Nat: all i know Jimmy/Naonka/Phillip were close in season 4
(2:31:59 PM) Me: yeah, well, brett, rocky and i are the only season 2 players left
(2:32:14 PM) Nat: you guys are from the same season?
(2:32:28 PM) Me: and rocky is usually really nice, granted he completely screwed up this last challenge, but i cant see myself voting him
(2:32:38 PM) Me: yeah, altho we were all opposed in our season lol
(2:32:39 PM) Nat: okay..
(2:33:10 PM) Me: so is there no way we could try get a me, you, brett and rocky thing going while we're on this tribe, to get to merge
(2:33:34 PM) Nat: i'm not sure i can't do that
(2:33:36 PM) Me: and then from merge its u and me, cos u are my original in this game, and would love to have a f2 with u
(2:33:37 PM) Nat: too risky
(2:33:45 PM) Nat: i don't want to lose again
(2:34:05 PM) Me: okay, so how would it be risky for you?
(2:34:22 PM) Nat: yup keeping Rocky over stronger people
(2:34:30 PM) Nat: he was online
(2:34:38 PM) Nat: but didn't even care to do the challenge
(2:34:45 PM) Nat: at least he should post one
(2:35:16 PM) Me: but i feel like if rocky goes, i am in minority
(2:35:24 PM) Me: cos i dont trust joel, at all
(2:35:26 PM) Nat: nope.. i'm with you
(2:35:51 PM) Nat: i'm not going to vote you out..
(2:36:01 PM) Nat: you're the person i talked to the most right now
(2:36:09 PM) Me: yeah, same
(2:36:21 PM) Nat: i always lose the tribe challenge
(2:36:27 PM) Nat: from s3 & s5
(2:36:34 PM) Nat: because we voted out wrong people
(2:36:52 PM) Me: well it was also monicas fault, she came online posted and then vanished, cos if she had stayed we could have done lots
(2:37:05 PM) Nat: she's back after that
(2:37:13 PM) Me: yeah i guess
(2:37:14 PM) Me: okay
(2:38:17 PM) Nat: Rocky is the only person who didn't show up.. i think Monica will vote for Rocky too
(2:38:38 PM) Me: okay, but if we vote rocky, whats our long term plan
(2:38:46 PM) Me: like, you and me
(2:39:35 PM) Nat: we win challenges.. if we lose we still can vote other people
(2:39:46 PM) Nat: but i think we're going to be stronger
(2:40:04 PM) Me: yeah but i mean long term, like dyu think we will try get back together with jenna later on?
(2:40:13 PM) Me: and dyu think u might like working with brett at some stage/
(2:40:24 PM) Nat: i like Brett
(2:40:30 PM) Nat: i think he's strong at challenge
(2:40:54 PM) Nat: yup we can work together
(2:41:36 PM) Nat: i'm going to ask Monica to join us
(2:41:43 PM) Nat: 4 is stronger
(2:42:22 PM) Me: okay
(2:42:25 PM) Me: but is she not with joel?
(2:42:42 PM) Nat: i don't think so
(2:43:40 PM) Me: okay
(2:43:45 PM) Me: what season is monica from?
(2:43:51 PM) Nat: 5
(2:44:04 PM) Nat: she's the winner 2
(2:44:09 PM) Nat: she's a winner
(2:44:23 PM) Me: kk
(2:44:26 PM) Me: well let me know what she thinks
(2:44:47 PM) Me: about joining up with u, me and brett
(2:45:06 PM) Nat: i think she will cause she's pretty much alone now
(2:45:25 PM) Nat: she & amanda from season 5
(2:45:31 PM) Nat: already fall out
(2:45:43 PM) Nat: the fight during final tc
(2:45:56 PM) Me: lol
(2:46:05 PM) Me: yeah that can screw things up for ppl, those final tcs
(2:46:12 PM) Nat: yup
(2:46:19 PM) Me: yeah and we have to win now, otherwise we will be down numbers
(2:46:25 PM) Me: i friggin hate losing
(2:46:29 PM) Nat: yup... me too


so thats the current plan, dunno if brett will go for it yet, he wanted to vote joel also, but i dont want to burn my nat bridges.

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

so, the universe hates me, as already established by my post about lightning

so soon after my move, and while i have not quite as much net as usual while at my folks house, this was the worst time for lightning to decide to strike us lol.

anyway but my net is back, but i do fear ppl will see me as being a floater as opposed to an asset, I REALLY WANNA BE AN ASSET, i hate it when ppl see me as being kind of useless, which is what i have been really with this lack of net.

but hopefully i am back now, and my alliance of brett and nat will stick with me, and monica and joel will hopefully vote with us to take wendy jo out. Nat wanted to go for rob, but i know rob from many previous games, we are good friends, and i dont want to vote him, so i convinces nat i could get him to be loyal and vote with us....altho sometimes rob flakes on me even tho we're friends, we've had to sometimes in games, but i hope he sticks with me as he said he would, or i will look quite the fool to natalie.

he promised me f2, but my guess is he has a few of those already....

i am nervous cos i have hardly chatted to monica, and never to joel...

but hopefully original kainai lines will stick together, and we will all vote wendy out this round.....

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

fucking rob, i stuck my neck out to try save him, and he targets me....how nice

[Carlos Bernard]

Classic Kevin... :X

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

yeah i know, but ktabs and i have been playing games together on and off for a year, u would think he would stick to the things he says by now lol

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

RIVETING conversation with Joel:

(8:22:37 AM) Me: hey
(8:22:45 AM) Joel: Heya
(8:23:06 AM) Me: finally get to meet you properly lol
(8:23:08 AM) Me: howre u?
(8:23:18 AM) Joel: A bit tired, but otherwise fine
(8:23:23 AM) Joel: You? :-)
(8:23:23 AM) Me: cool
(8:23:27 AM) Me: yeah i am okay
(8:25:05 AM) Me: so what are u up to?
(8:26:00 AM) Joel: Watching "Lie to Me" with my parents
(8:26:14 AM) Me: ah okay, which season?
(8:26:34 AM) Joel: I think it's the second season
(8:26:46 AM) Me: cool



I HATE people who dont talk in orgs, it means i form no type of relationship with them, and it makes me think they dislike me...and this is the first time we are talking all game, u would think he would make some kind of effort, but no, nothing...

[Carlos Bernard]

Not a huge fan of Lie To me... personally.

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

lol, i have liked some of the episodes, but apparently it was extremely riveting since it caused joel to lose his ability to speak

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

bloody hell, i pass out for the day, and come online, and everyone has gone mad

okay so crazy pms i have been getting start with philip:


ey Steph

Whats up! Due to timezone differences and what not I don't catch you on much. I think its time we talked about the game a little bit. Obviously my back is against the wall, but hope you can at least hear me out

I know you and Wendy were on the outside of the vote when Rob went home on Chehalis. Monica, Natalie, Brett and Joel all voted for him to go. I also know that the idols from Kainai and Chehalis are gone, Wendy doesn't have it so Joel must he is the only one left and I'd bet either Brett or Monica have an idol from Kainai.

So, you should think about where you would actually stand with Kainai say after all of the Athena players are annihilated. Those 4 are VERY powerful right now, so its something to think about.

Anyways tha'ts what I have to say, hope to catch you on AIM. I am typically up all night and through the morning, I sleep from the afternoon into the evening because I work a night shift. Maybe by some freak of nature we'll be on at the same time!?


and then


I got an interesting PM from Monica!
« Message sent Yesterday at 10:26am »
Hey again Steph! I just got an interesting PM from Monica. She is someone I know, and a really cutthroat player. I played with her once before in a game. She likes to make big moves and blindside people, then she got blindsided herself haha.

So apparently she is trying to do that yet again, this time to Wendy. She thinks Wendy has the Idol and wants to blindside her, that's the gist I got from the PM. Ignore that I was watching Leo and Satan on youtube in the top left before I read it haha.


i.imgur.com/DrsZO.jpg


This could be a perfect opportunity to turn this around onto her and break up Kainai's alliance. Better than just being a pawn or waiting around to get voted off I figure. If you and Wendy get on board, I'm sure NaOnka and Gillian won't have any problems, it should be 5 votes to their 4. I'll keep you informed, don't tell Monica anything, remember she may herself have the idol from Kainai ironically enough.


to which i replied


Re: I got an interesting PM from Monica!
« Message sent Yesterday at 2:45pm »
hey phil thanks for letting me know, it certainly sounds like a good option, we will have to see what the others say and who wins immunity, it wont be me, i have been really sick all day and wont get a chance to do it


because i wanted to keep options open, and to make sure he kept giving me info if he thought i was open to it....


but now, i get this from wendy

Hey!
« Message sent Yesterday at 7:06pm »
Is it true you told Phillip you would be willing to flip the vote if I was on board too?

which is cleaely very accusatory, and she is prob going to try use that as some shining beacon of light to get them to target me, which just pisses me off, cos i never gave him a definite go ahead.


anyway so i reply

Re: Hey!
« Message sent Today at 9:58am »
hey, i told him it was a good possible idea so he would keep me in the loop of what his plan was, cause he seems pretty sneaky, but no, i dont want to vote monica out.

so any idea who the kainai vote is actually going to?


to try and first explain, and also make myself sound nice and helpless, in the hopes she will try get some of my allies to target me, and hopefully they will tell me whats going on.


sigh


so i also got this from monica


Hey
« Message sent Today at 1:24am »
So, hey, I got this PM from Phil, trying to get me to work with him. I hate his stupid guts and I want him out of here, but he's a sneaky little asshole and he'll probably try to tell you guys that I approached him or something.

Here's the proof:


Quote:
Hey Monica. I know we haven't talked much on AIM this game so I thought I should send you a PM.

I just want to know if there is a chance that you would vote against Kainai. I was thinking maybe Joel?

The point I am getting at here which I am sure you've seen a mile down the road haha is that we should strongly consider working together. At this point I believe you are 5th in an alliance with Brett, Natalie, Steph and Joel, the 4 of which seem pretty unbreakable. I am sure you suspected this as well, they led the charges on the votes. I have to assume that for you they would simply tell you how to vote, give you a reason and you'd make the vote as well.

Realistically we both know I am trying to save my black ass, but I think you know there is truth to what I am saying here. My position in the game sucks right now, yours is ok, you got a great chance at getting 5th assuming they don't blindside you before then and you could go on an immunity run and make the finals, which is unlikely against competitors like them but possible. But I've spoken to Natalie and Steph and they see you as a threat in this game, so even if by some miracle you could make the end with them, the jury doesn't respect your game and will see you as a moron.

It is the Final 9 soon and once it is Final 8 the 4 of them will have all the power they need to make it to the finals. I'd like to work with you so we can control the votes, not the 4 of them and have the power to decide our own destiny. I know what you're thinking, where do you stand with Na and Gillian? Well Athena are not as tight a group as Nat, Steph, Brett and Joel.

I am hoping to work with you to get out the big threats in the game, right now the biggest threat is that tight foursome ( sounds so wrong) and then Wendy with her immunity idol. At least 2 people from that 4-person alliance need to leave then Me, you and Gillian and can vote off Wendy and Na.

I obviously can't speak for anyone else, but I can promise you if you join me I will never vote you EVER, and if you remember CYSAS I am very true to my word and only voted people that were against me or betrayed me first. We can easily make the Final 4 and there I can guarantee you at least a tie 2-2 at worst, we can likely make the finals if we start working together now. I know this was a mouthful and a lot to absorb but I hope you give it some thought. I'll try to catch you on AIM invisible sometime!

and then from brett:

e: (No Subject)
« Message sent Today at 7:49am »
Hey Steph!

How are ya? Last night Phillip was spreading lies about Monica and trying to get people to flip and vote her out. Unfortunately he won the challenge so we can't vote him out. I think most people (Wendy, Joel, Monica, Nat and me) are okay with voting for Naonka. What do you think?

There's still time to try to get people to change their votes, but I'm thinking it might be good to vote Naonka just because the majority already sounds like they're down with that. Let me know what you think!





Now, i am irritated that they all decided to vote naonka without even consulting me, the last time i checked i was sposed to be in a f3 with brett and natalie, so why are they deciding votes without me?

and they are almost never on AIM, it seems, and thus my social game seems rather awful at this point, which is not helping my cause.

anyway, i am just going to have to try and tread lightly from this point
