A SWAP

Only 3 days in and it's time to shake things up! You survived our first vote and have a brand new tribe to get to know before our first immunity challenge.

1-Talk to us about your swap tribe. Who are you excited to see? Who were you upset to lose?

2-Talk us through tribal tonight. What was your ultimate reason for your vote?

3-Now that the tribes are mixed, are you planning on staying strong with your original tribe? or do you think it's time for you to find new allies?

4-What are your thoughts on the partner twist? How do you plan to utilize your cross tribal communication?

Good Luck! It only gets harder from here!

2-Talk us through tribal tonight. What was your ultimate reason for your vote?

I voted Erik to follow the crowd, that's about it. I was not even apart of the decision making. And to be honest, this is what makes me feel like I'm not in good ranks of my tribe. I've seen many tribe mates go off and talk with one another (chatrooms), and I wasn't invited in that. It's hard to tell who are part of such group, but I wouldn't be surprised if that included people like Matt, Michael, Sherri, Shamar, Alexis. Maybe Brandon too. I think they could get two more with them, maybe Reynold? Could explain why he survived despite the target we've tried to put on him ? And could get they actually have Elizabeth too? This I don't know. I know I've told her I wanted to work with her, but she has an individual game to play, and I have no doubt she would say yes if she were asked to be in an alliance, and knowing how active she is, why not.

I know that Hope and Erik were the chopping block. I know that there are some tribe mates that felt like Laura was not so talkative, so I would be a bit surprised if Laura was in that circle. So Laura's definitely someone I need to work with later in the game, if we can survive until the swap of course. But I don't know how aware she is of all this, and what if I'm wrong and she's part of them? I don't wanna risk selling myself. For now, there's someone in front of me that can get the chop, so I'll leave it to that and hustle until a swap.

1-Talk to us about your swap tribe. Who are you excited to see? Who were you upset to lose?

I'm excited. I wanted the game to change. To be honest, had Jeff asked if anyone wanted to mutiny, I'm not lying, I was 85% saying yes to that. Nothing against my tribe, they're nice and all, but I don't plan on being disposable and left in the dark.

I'm excited to see Eddie, I'm excited to have at least Laura from my original tribe, and I'm happy to keep Elizabeth. So really, couldn't have been better. The strong circle of my original tribe is mostly on the other tribe, so I'm not too worried having to deal with them. We couldn't have fallen on a better mix-up. Both Eddie and Liz here + their idols, people from different alliances on both tribes, this is going to be chaos, I call it.

I don't wanna see Brandon here. I don't trust him, and I don't see how I could work with him down the road, but for now our original tribe is all what could keep us together. We'll see how it goes.

I'm happy to see Missy here. I know her and Lizzy don't get along, and I like to have attention deflected from me. So have them fight. *evil laughs* And then there's Wardog who voted Eddie, have them fight too. *grins* I think I don't need to play too hard for now. Just socialize.

3-Now that the tribes are mixed, are you planning on staying strong with your original tribe? or do you think it's time for you to find new allies?

I'm not planning to be strong with my original tribe. But I plan on staying strong with Laura, Eddie, and Elizabeth if I can.

4-What are your thoughts on the partner twist? How do you plan to utilize your cross tribal communication?

I love this ! And the fact that we can cross tribal communicate? That's the cherry on the cake. It feels like we're double agents or something. I really wanted to team up with someone that's strong, and I feel like Aurora could be most similar to me when it comes to that ? If you have to make it all the way near the end of the game to get your immunity, then you don't want some slacking bitches to be partenered with you, cause you'll lose them. Now I need to keep track of all possible pairs of the other people. I'll post that soon, and it will be updated regularly.

I plan to utilize my partnership to share information with Aurora, like some sort of cheating system. I might just give her interesting info so that she get into that vibe of 'ok, we're really giving each other information as if we were cheating and hacking into the games of others", yeah, cause who would know me and Aurora would talk and share such thing ? More on that later. Nothing set in stone for how I'll be using this, I'm still brainstorming.

Idols

I have tried hard for the idol so far, but I'm not finding anything. I've found a 'five' around the well. No idea what this means, I've tried five-lettered words related to the location we're in. Nothing. I've noticed a new member called 'Species' on the forum. Maybe it's a clue? I've tried many species like turtles and stuff. Nothing. I've noticed the avatars were often turning black and dark for no reason... for a few seconds. I was staring at it like a weirdo would stare at a snowing screen on TV. LOL. Nothing so far. Just noticed a L on Alexis's avatar when it turned dark, but it's probably nothing. Whatever. I'll keep searching when I have time.

Oh and also, by making this list above ^ I realized Hope was on our tribe LOL. I don't know why my eyes thought she was on the other tribe. But anyways, I do plan on keeping her alive in the tribe too. I know she's not a threat to my game at the moment because she was on the chopping block in our previous tribe. I'm debating with myself whether or not I want to let her know that. On one hand, she needs to get more social because if she's not she could very well become a target again if we go tribal, and that would be awkward to go through that again to be honest, and on the other hand, if I tell her that too late in the game in the hopes of getting her on my side, that story will be too old to be told. We're here to play the game and this is part of the risk. Ideally, I would like to work with the Pukaroa that are on my new tribe, this includes myself Laura Hope Eddie and Liz, and not the ones on the other tribe !! That would be my ideal alliance, but you know, you can't have an alliance if all these people don't wanna work together, so gotta adapt with how people are interacting with eachother...

Chat with my partner

Ok, so I had a chat with my partner, Aurora.

And I filled her in with how tight my original tribe is, and that she needs to get some work in if she wants to survive. I hinted her to look at Reynold as an opportunity rather than a target, because if he's constantly in and out, maybe he would consider flipping to her side. So she needs to be social with him.

Then she told me that original Te Poto was tight, and Garrett/Eddie were most on the outs, and that after that, maybe Stephanie/Tai were the others on the outs too. It's good to know because I could blindly think that they are very divided because of that Eddie vs Garrett vote, but it turns out it's only the two on the outs being on the block lol? Aurora thinks OG Te Poto could work together to pick us off on my tribe, and so that I need to talk to Jessica asap and tell her that I'm her partner. Great. I ran to Jessica immediately and spilled the same beans. Sure, I would have prefered to keep the partnership a secret, but if Aurora is not going to keep it a secret to Jessica, then there is no point in hiding it myself. So I filled her in with the same stuff I filled Aurora in with. And I hope this brings me in the zone, in the game, cause I feel out of the game right now.

The last thing I want is for Te Poto to start throwing challenges thinking they have the votes to do it. I want them to know that the concerning Pukaroa are over THERE and not HERE !!!

I think Jessica was a little more reserved, but look, I'll just trust Aurora and hope this get me somewhere. Although she told me her partner was Michael. Hopefully she doesn't get too brainwashed by Michael hehe. I mean, I didn't tell her to not work with her, I just want her to think it's maybe not a TIMING to work with him for now, if he's too tight to his original tribe, right? So that's it for now.

I'm going to have a guess in saying Elizabeth might have picked Alexis as a partner, because before we left for these tribes, I know that Elizabeth had told me her ideal people to work with would be Michael and Alexis. So with Michael already being picked, it would make sense that she picks Alexis.

ME : Ontario

JED : Sammme. What city?

ME : Toronto

I'm not even from Ontario.

* Starts sweating.* Please don't say Toronto.

JED : Ohh nice nice. I'm in Hamilton, but my sister is fancy and lives in Toronto lol

THANKS GOD.

And I'm from Quebec, but ain't I like the only french-canadian ORGer in this community ? Couldn't tell people that...

They'll throw me in jail ! Hahaha

ME : Hey Hope !! What do you think of this swap ?

HOPE : Heyyy Allie!!

ME : it's definitely interesting, i was so stressed ln for it i went right to bed lmfao

HOPE : wbu? talk to any of the returnees and like them?

ME : I'm actually happy we had a swap And I think you should be too. Yeah, I talked to them, and they look sweet and fun to talk to, hope you take some time getting to know them so we don't get in trouble for not being social lol

HOPE : Agreed, and I'll be working on that tonight definitely

Tonight ? Really ? We'll have one hour to strategize. Girl, come on. Now I'm reconsider how she's really gonna be helpful for my game at all if she 's going to play like this. Sorry if you're busy, but if you have no game at the moment, then people are going to throw your name out there, and if I have to save you five times from that, this isn't gonna work. People are going to think I try to take goats to the end... She might set herself up as a sacrifice if she doesn't get herself more involved. I'm really enjoying my convos with my new tribe mates. I want to set something with them. The game would be more fun with them, I believe. Old tribe is so boring. No joke.

[Allie]

Hey Al, do you want to talk about the vote if we lose immunity tonight?

I had a jumpscare for a moment, not because of the question, but because AL is like, my surname in the gaming world.

But then I thought, oh, Allie ROFL.

Vote talk

Ok so far, I think things are looking fine. I got myself in the good graces of original Te Poto, and now they go and talk to me. Elizabeth confirmed Wardog said he liked talking to me the most, which is good music to my ears. I've worked very hard to get something going with Aurora and Jessica. Missy said she really liked talking to me. The only one I've been slacking a bit is Jed, but well... Happens.

Now Stephanie was the first one to bring up vote talk with me. She wants to target Eddie and split between him and Brandon. WHY EDDIE AGAIN? Honestly, I like Eddie, and the only reason why I'm down with this plan, is because of this idea that Eddie could just play his idol and send Brandon home. How can I make it happen without being thrown under the bus though ?

Stephanie told me she had five people down with the plan already. Probably green original tribe, that's making sense. They need a target, and they figured it would be their first victim. If I really want to work with them, I can't push an agenda of going against any of them. That would destroy everything I'm trying to build, which is getting myself on their side. So it has to be someone from my original tribe that goes. So I'll be down with their plan, you best believe. But I might be inclined into getting Brandon out though. More than Eddie leaving. That idol, he's gonna have to play it one day or another, he's really putting a huge target on his back with this because he doesn't have the social to back it up. If he wants to play UTR, he needs to rid of that idol.

It appears like Elizabeth is playing in the same shoes as I am, kind of. She was in on the plan and I heard it from Stephanie first. This is interesting. And she was telling me about the Eddie going home, but not about the Brandon split until I bring it up? Does Liz really trust me ? I'm honestly questionning how much she really does want to work with me. Maybe she seems me as just a number, but I'm looking for a strong pair here, and right now, the returnees are selling it better sorry. We'll see how it goes, I really want to focus on a challenge win. Victories will make us stronger together. Let's ration the food on our tribe please. I'm talking about targets here.
