We always like to get to know our players as we begin 1. Do you have a strategy coming into the game? 2. Any first impressions? 3. Any alliances yet? People you do not want to work with for whatever reason? 4. Random thoughts to share?

1. Do you have a strategy coming into the game? My strategy is first work hard in all these team immunity challenges to start... that way they will see me as a valuable team asset and want to keep me around. I also want to create some close allies in case I go to tc anytime soon and usually lot of times the people I align with beginning of the game tend to be people I want to work with throughout the game. Bobby Jon and Mookie stand out as possible decent allies I see myself working long term with. Obviously try and create the least amount of enemies possible...with a game with 49 players the last thing you want to do is make a bunch of enemies and screw your game up right at the start. That would be a death sentence.
2. Any first impressions? I've talked with Mookie a few times and we both same some similar interests and get along. I could see us being great allies as we have now talked a little about working with each other...I just hope he's useful in challenges early on as I like to keep strong players around for those.
Bobby Jon is friendly and funny and we've talked a few times. I think he could be a good allie for the game as I sense I'll be able to trust him more then some others in the game...just like Mookie hoping he's strong in the challenges or at least pulls his weight.
James I've talked with once but our conversation didn't really have any type of flow to it. I will have to get to know him better before I decide if he'll be somebody I actually want to work with in the game. He's a possibility and could be on my side or someone I prefer out right away.
Jonathon is the boringest person in the entire cast. How I always end up with this bastard on my tribes in games I'll never figure out but it's awfully crappy way to start any game lol. I will not even give this bastard the time of day as all I want to do with him is send him home if we lose.
Mick I haven't had the opportunity to speak with yet. I always stay a little cautious of people who use alias sns when I don't know who they are exactly. They are hiding for a reason and that can never be good, so I will take it slow and talk with him at some point and since he hasn't contacted me there is a chance he knows me and could be against me already. This is the mystery of the tribe for me so far.
Marcus I've played with a few times and we've had nothing besides good connections so far. He hasn't said anything to me about working together but was excited to be on the same tribe together. I worry that he leaks a lot of info so what I'll do is tell him very little and things that he just needs to know...probably will be an allie in this tribe but when we swap that will be it.
3. Any alliances yet? People you do not want to work with for whatever reason?
I have my Survivor Egypt F4 alliance coming in with Terry, Ethan, and Yul. This isn't very useful for me right now as we're not all in one tribe but this will come in handy at some point I believe. It's weird since I was against all those guys in that game but we're aligned in this game, but there was never any bad blood between us and just on opposing sides at the time.
I'm debating about how to form a 4 way alliance in this Galu tribe. I like Mookie and Bobby Jon, then possibly throw Marcus in there maybe? Jonathon goes first then we are down to 6...ideally Mick and James would be best on the outside so going to try the 4 way with Me/Bobby Jon/Mookie/Marcus just hope we all get along lol.
4. Random thoughts to share?
49 players will make this game impossible to win unless you have a crap load of luck on your side. My plan is take the game is segments and see what happens...first segment make it to the round of 32 as that should have most the active and committed players left. Next try and make it to the sweet 16 as that should be where the game gets pretty cutthroat and everyone is trying to figure out how to position themselves and have their alliances control the game. Next up make the elite 8 where that's the start of the final stretch...then if I'm lucky land in that final 4 and try and win the game lol.
Of course I have to make it around twists, idols, alliances everywhere lol. This should be fun!

I should thank you for hosting that game since otherwise I might not have those allies We'll see how it works out...hoping to meet up with them all later and between the 4 of us we should be able to work some magic. I have more confidence in Terry and Yul then I do Ethan, just based on conversations I've had with them. If someone goes down early I'm hoping it's Ethan instead of the other two.
