Round Two: "Post the Most and You'll Coast"

[Amanda Kimmel]

Challenge-wise, I am officially on a roll!

The good news about this is that I'll be 100% safe if our tribe goes to Tribal Council. Since I help us win challenges, if we don't have a swap next round they'll all be fucked without me here. The bad news is that this makes me a challenge threat long-term, which means I'll have to do one or more of the following things after a swap:
1) Keep winning challenges
2) Rely on a good social game
3) Not label myself as a huge threat

The thing is... I've only proven my prowess at posting challenges. I deliberately avoided the puzzle to help keep my alias, since while Andy Kimmel destroys everyone at puzzles, Kendra Harby does not. If I don't take the puzzle, that might make Philistein even MORE suspicious that he's wrong, and that's where I want him. I want him to be unsure about me so I can kill him later. I really hate people who hold grudges from the distant past and want them gone ASAP - Philistein is one of them. If I haven't made it clear, I only want him gone because he has a grudge against me. We have bad blood and I don't want him to ruin my game any more than he already has. I'm not the one grudge-voting here. I'm the one trying to prevent it since I'm the victim of the grudge. If he didn't hate me, then I wouldn't care what happened in other series. That has nothing to do with this one. What happens in one series stays in that one series. Meaning if I wanted to get revenge on Monica from last season, I'd be damn well justified to.

Of course, I currently have no intentions on doing so. She's on another tribe, so I can't strategize with her. She wants me to kill Eliza, but Eliza is my only real ally here. I trust Eliza:

(8:15:23 PM) Eliza Orlins: I need to do my pregame questions lol
(8:15:53 PM) Kendra Harby: I had already answered them before they were posted
(8:16:01 PM) Eliza Orlins: LOL
(8:16:33 PM) Kendra Harby: In a detailed pre-game confessional
(8:16:37 PM) Eliza Orlins: Oh nice
(8:16:43 PM) Eliza Orlins: I didn't really have much to say lol
(8:16:52 PM) Kendra Harby: Mine was mostly "Kill Phil" stuff
(8:16:55 PM) Eliza Orlins: LMFAO
(8:17:19 PM) Kendra Harby: I'm only after him because he's after me. I wouldn't give a shit if he didn't antagonize me constantly
(8:17:40 PM) Kendra Harby: He's the one holding grudges, I just want to get rid of the person who'd vote me out for being me because those kinds of people disgust me
(8:18:16 PM) Eliza Orlins: Yeah I hear ya
(8:18:22 PM) Eliza Orlins: Too bad his tribe won too
(8:19:45 PM) Kendra Harby: I heard his tribe knows that he's talking to people on all the other tribes and that they don't like it
(8:21:07 PM) Eliza Orlins: Good
(8:21:09 PM) Eliza Orlins: He's shady
(8:22:03 PM) Kendra Harby: and a loose cannon
(8:22:28 PM) Eliza Orlins: Mhm
(8:22:37 PM) Eliza Orlins: And his avvie grosses me out
(8:22:53 PM) Kendra Harby: Yes
(8:23:08 PM) Eliza Orlins: That was totally unnecessary
(8:23:14 PM) Kendra Harby: The avatar?
(8:23:18 PM) Eliza Orlins: Yes
(8:23:23 PM) Eliza Orlins: Why would the host do that?
(8:23:44 PM) Kendra Harby: I don't think that's a middle finger but it's still explicit and disgusting
(8:24:01 PM) Eliza Orlins: Yeah I mean the underwear lol
(8:24:03 PM) Kendra Harby: Phillip is one of the ugliest Survivors ever, and given his taste in pants...
(8:24:08 PM) Eliza Orlins: Hahahaha
(8:24:55 PM) Kendra Harby: Dylan picked my avi. I told him I wanted another Micronesia pic and he picked one with the hat, so that might lead people onto me but they already are onto me...
(8:25:09 PM) Eliza Orlins: Oh really?
(8:25:19 PM) Kendra Harby: I hope Phillip hasn't told TOO many people, and I hope that my charade last night was able to confuse him
(8:25:29 PM) Eliza Orlins: What happened last night?
(8:25:42 PM) Kendra Harby: Kendra was drunk
(8:25:48 PM) Eliza Orlins: Hahahaha
(8:26:00 PM) Kendra Harby: Part of the act
(8:26:13 PM) Kendra Harby: I wasn't going to tell you who I was until the time was right but you knew anyway
(8:26:19 PM) Kendra Harby: No use in hiding it if I want you to trust me
(8:26:37 PM) Eliza Orlins: Yeah I had a hunch but then Phillip told me...
(8:26:45 PM) Kendra Harby: I do trust that you're not with Phillip, even though he is talking to you
(8:26:56 PM) Eliza Orlins: No he annoys me
(8:27:06 PM) Kendra Harby: Good
(8:27:26 PM) Kendra Harby: Phillip apparently figured it out on his own, but most people think my act is very convincing
(8:27:30 PM) Kendra Harby: He's definitely stalking me
(8:27:38 PM) Eliza Orlins: He's a creeper that's for sure
(8:27:44 PM) Kendra Harby: And a bully
(8:27:47 PM) Eliza Orlins: Mhm
(8:27:47 PM) Kendra Harby: And a hypocrite

(8:45:21 PM) Eliza Orlins: Ugh guess who just IMed me
(8:46:29 PM) Kendra Harby: Philistein?
(8:46:42 PM) Kendra Harby: Show me what he's saying
(8:46:59 PM) Eliza Orlins: Yup
(8:47:26 PM) Eliza Orlins: He's just saying how he can't believe we didn't come in first
(8:48:07 PM) Kendra Harby: Our tribe, you mean?
(8:48:24 PM) Eliza Orlins: Mhm
(8:49:12 PM) Kendra Harby: Hmmm, we did kick quite a bit of ass, but Aaron on Athena had an exploit with his Internet connection
(8:49:33 PM) Eliza Orlins: Ah
(8:49:38 PM) Eliza Orlins: I was wondering how he did so well
(8:50:38 PM) Kendra Harby: I'm not sure how it worked but thats what I heard
(8:50:57 PM) Eliza Orlins: Hmm
(9:06:27 PM) Eliza Orlins: He's now telling me to watch out for JJ
(9:06:51 PM) Kendra Harby: Jimmy says he's been over the villain stuff though
(9:07:15 PM) Eliza Orlins: Oh he's over it?
(9:07:55 PM) Kendra Harby: he says he is
(9:08:00 PM) Eliza Orlins: Hmm
(9:08:09 PM) Eliza Orlins: It's not Klein is it?
(9:08:15 PM) Kendra Harby: no, doubt that
(9:09:32 PM) Eliza Orlins: Haha k
(9:11:41 PM) Eliza Orlins: I'm looking at the challenge now :-)
(9:13:13 PM) Eliza Orlins: Do you want the puzzle LOL
(9:13:24 PM) Kendra Harby: Kendra isn't good at puzzles.
(9:13:28 PM) Eliza Orlins: OH
(9:13:31 PM) Eliza Orlins: LMAO
(9:34:41 PM) Eliza Orlins: 6:39 on the puzzle
(9:34:52 PM) Kendra Harby: How many pieces?
(9:34:58 PM) Eliza Orlins: I mean maze sorry
(9:35:04 PM) Kendra Harby: ohh okay
(9:36:18 PM) Eliza Orlins: The host said it sounds pretty good so :-)
(9:36:27 PM) Kendra Harby:

I trust her enough to tell these things, and she seems to have a genuine distaste for Philistein despite making the end with him in CYS.


As for Monica... I'm on another tribe, so I can't comply with her wishes. That's simply not me. I'm here on Chehalis to survive, and input from the other tribes is not anything significant for me. I'm here to align with Eliza and hope that Philistein gets killed by his own actions of cross-tribal communication. After all, I only would do it when Kendra is drunk

Who is in trouble if you guys lose?

Not completely sure. We were originally thinking Rocky if we lost last round, but Jimmy is supposedly shady - he admits he played a shady, villainous game in Outcast, but says he's over it. I've also been warned about Joelt, but I know how he operates since he was Burton in my series. He's just inexperienced and I think he still is.

I don't expect to lose though, given my time at the spamming, Eliza's time on the maze, and:

[13:19] Dreanna May Wilson: yup..arghh i need to try this flash game again.. AS challenge
[13:19] Dreanna May Wilson: hate this game
[13:20] zZAndymaNZz: What game?
[13:20] Dreanna May Wilson: www.miniclip.com/games/tribe/en/
[13:20] Dreanna May Wilson: this flash game
[13:20] Dreanna May Wilson: i hate it lol..
[13:21] zZAndymaNZz: Let me give it a whirl
[13:21] Dreanna May Wilson: lol
[13:21] Dreanna May Wilson: ok
[13:22] Dreanna May Wilson: my best score is over 1000
[13:24] zZAndymaNZz: I am failing at the arrow shooting
[13:24] Dreanna May Wilson: lol
[13:26] Dreanna May Wilson: be careful the game was pretty depressing. i was like play the game since 6 hours ago

Am I evil to keep my alias from her? I got a little bit of information she never intended to give me the player. May/Elyse/Natalie is so not onto me at all despite us two being allies last season, so if my spam time and Joelt's score at the Flash game are this strong, I suspect we won't be in last place.

I actually tried it for her, but only got a score of 298. She logged off before I could tell her that, but I honestly tried. 1792 is insane, so I trust that Joelt's score will help us win. As for the puzzle, if Rocky got 5 minutes that'd be awesome. I could probably get it in 4 or so - my first time was 5:17 using my laptop trackpad and given how people would struggle to beat that... 5 minutes is good. I just didn't do the puzzle because Kendra isn't good at puzzles. I have to keep my alias as long as possible, and when I reveal it at the FTC (if I make it there, but I know I can at least make jury if I try), some people are going to be stunned.

Right now, nobody in this game is on AIM but Wendy from Yavapai. I hope this doesn't turn into the cricket-chirping fest of last season, because I want an actual GAME here. I want people to talk to. I want to be social. And I don't want to communicate across tribes. Sure, I've talked to Monica, but I'm not letting her give me any input. Sure, I talked to Natalie about this game, but she has no idea. Sure, Kendra was drunk and IMed whoever was on. That's it. I'm keeping game talk to a minimum with them. That's how I roll, and I hope people respect me because of it.

So back to your question... it really could be anyone, but I doubt we'll lose. If we do, boo me for thinking that, and good job to the other tribes for doing well. I just hope I don't get targeted, but I helped a ton in both challenges and in a group of five, keeping strength is necessary. If there is no swap until 16, Chehalis would likely lose another member.

I'm expecting a tribe swap or double TC next round. A quadruple TC wouldn't be a good idea unless players are inactive... but the game needs to keep moving. I expect the schedule to go like this:
Final 18 - Double TC, two worst tribes vote someone out
Final 16 - Swap into 2 tribes of 8, non-live challenge, one person leaves
Final 15 - Live IC, One person leaves
Final 14 - Double TC, individual immunity which I need to win, etc.
Final 12 - One person leaves
Final 11 - First jury member leaves
Final 10 - Merge
And there's possibly a speed round like last time


This is just a guess, and although a quadruple TC would trim the fat, I don't think it needs to be trimmed like that. It would be too much.

Why is Sherea continually checking the board? There isn't an... Outcast twist, by chance?

[Phillip Sheppard]

Since you're throwing around my last name like its Candy with this PhillStein business, I am sure you won't mind if I do as well miss Amanda

[Ian Rosenberger]

"Philistein" is actually a biblical reference to some group of people who lived in the middle east and were like the bad guys in the old testament. I don't know whether the last name thing is intentional or not.
