Fans vs Failures
Bonjour, mes amis! It looks like the game is taking off already. It's clear now that my favorites on this tribe are
Tai and
Garrett. With Tai I have the best chemistry, though we've never talked game. With Garrett, I just like him. I like his enthusiasm and his naivité, and we get along really well. In fact I proposed that the three of us work together in some capacity... I would love that.
However I really like
Jessica too like I've said. Idk. We get along well, and on paper she was my first close ally here. There just. Like I love her, maybe I'll look back on this post-game after we have a great journey together. But thus far there's just.... something that still feels artificial between us. I don't know what it is yet. Hopefully we get past it, because I did consider her my closest ally on day 1.
When I logged in for the day,
Rocker messaged me about a "Crazy Person Alliance" between myself, him, Garrett, Wardog, Missy, and the other Stephanie. Or I think that was everyone. Maybe it was slightly different idk. That's obviously not going to hold up because Garrett wants
Missy to be the backup and she found out. So that will never be an alliance. I would have loved it though.
Also I talked some game with
Hannah, and I'm feeling better about her. She hasn't been mentioned by anyone though. Nobody says they like or dislike her. But the fact that she wasn't mentioned by Rocker, or Garrett who supposedly has a ton of deals, idk... I think she's lower on the totem pole here but also UTR enough to be fine. There's an awkwardness about her too that I can't put my finger on, idk, she seems more socially anxious/awkward than I expected. For a bit I was seeing avenues to take her out earlier today, but the tide does not look good against Garrett right now.
And I feel like I have a great relationship with
Wardog but...... my gut is also saying that something's off. That he's not to be trusted. He's smarter and savvier than he's letting on, and we have chemistry when we talk about food and stuff but we have awkward patches too. I feel good about him on paper, but something in the back of my mind is holding back.
Allegedly
Stephanie is well-liked. I'm not as paranoid about her as I was early on, but I'm still always going to hold back a little, I think. We're working together fine thus far and have talked some game. But in the grand scheme of things she feels very MOR/UTR to me, in addition to
Jed and
Aurora. Where it's like, yes we can talk, but where is this going?
The "plan" is to just get rid of
Eddie when we have the chance. He's the easy boot. I actually like him a lot and I think he's cute, but he's not a social star either so I get it. Plus he's new to the tribe, he has an idol, he's not a returnee. It all makes sense. But if we had the opportunity to do something else, or to use his idol to our advantage, I would take it.
Because Hannah, Jessica, and Missy now have all told me they would prefer to split the votes tomorrow night between Garrett and Eddie. Wardog is very skeptical of Garrett too. Oh, and Jess actually would PREFER if Garrett left... none of which I like to hear. But it's Saturday, and a lot can happen before tomorrow night.
Garrett wanted to split the vote on Missy, which I don't like either. I get along with her really well. Plus, you know, she
isn't online all hours of the day so she's a shield in that sense too and I feel she trusts and likes me. I'm not sure how to handle all of this... but I'll figure it out and get my way somehow.
You know. What I would really prefer to happen would be.... getting rid of some of the MOR presences. If Rocker is on board to work with Garrett, if we have Tai in our corner, it wouldn't take that many more folks to be like.... hey. Let's turn this onto someone like Hannah or someone like Jed who is social enough but not making a huge splash either. Hannah was the first to target Garrett to me outright, so I could always leak that. In theory. The live chat makes leaking rumors riskier because someone can rat you out immediately, but I'm pretty good at that kind of thing too I'd just need to craft the perfect way to say it.
None of it may matter though. If Hannah, Jessica, and Missy are already solid on getting Garrett out.... Stephanie seemed fine with that too.... Wardog was wary... like we're quickly approaching a situation where it's like. Saving him would need to be a "move" and am I ready for that this early?
I'll consider it. I don't feel I need to scramble yet. There's a ton of time still before TC, and I trust my abilities to move needles elsewhere. He may be a bit erratic and he may be "all over the place," but I do view Garrett as one of my closest allies here. Losing him right away while a lot of my more MOR connections remain.... I would not like that at all. I doubt I'm alone either in that thinking, so let's do some prodding and see what some of these folks actually want.
