Some stats:
450 consecutive catches for me today.
90 catches in 20 mins (bloody impressive I think)
356 consecutive catches with Corrine (worried people will know we are close now, and also the fact I might be viewed as a challenge threat)

I really have huge pride in my tribe. For the first time ever I care if we win or lose. Every person in my tribe I actually like and don't want to see gone. We put in a HUGE effort in the challenge. I caught more balls than all the other tribes did by myself. Personally I think it has been my most rewarding performance in a challenge to date. I am quite annoyed at Dreamz and Sandra. They did nothing at all. Atleast Sandra wasn't on, Dreamz was just lazy and kept on screwing me and Corrine up but eventually he just gave up and left. Which turned out to be a positive although I don't like that attitude from him. As I said before, I am worried people will think Corrine and I are close now because of that challenge. We will slowly need to distance ourselves to the rest of the tribe. Corrine is surprising m e strategically. She has helped me adapt to this new game. Posting in the forums more was her idea and is actually a great way to widely communicate with people. As for the rest of my tribe, I have deals with everyone except Russell. Given Dreamz recent attitude, I am starting to doubt whether keeping my deal with him is really the best move. I like Russell's attitude, I just haven't talked to him enough. I might send off a fresh batch of PM's after this to various people who I have not talked to in a while. Reaffirm the trust and all. In a normal game of 16-20, I would not even hesitate with taking Russell and dumping Dreamz however Dreamz and Sandra are tight I am pretty sure. Removing one alienates the others and all their potential cross tribal connections which I feel they have. However getting rid of Russell has no future implications so in a game of this size, getting him out may be the better move even if I think I can trust him and rely on him more than the other two. Time will tell I guess. Tom (host of SurviveIT) I have recently discovered. It actually turned out to be a benefit as he told me people were getting annoyed with the fact I was asking about challenges etc. Well I don't really get that as I have only asked a few people on his tribe alone and he said the people were from other tribes. Interesting to say the least. Casaya are truly our enemy tribe. Everyone in our tribe doesn't like them. They are probably the most arrogant tribe I have seen. They like think they are so good with lines like "It doesn't matter as we will win anyway" I mean really? Then they go around complaining I ask about stuff and 2 seconds later they ask how much my tribe is on! Just crazy crazy crazy. Cirie and I have officially formalised an alliance. I like her and I know she has enemies, aswell as allies, from her SurviveIT days. This will come into use I hope. She told me her only other ally (officially) in this game was Danni. It will be interesting to see how that develops. She is a good player but in a game like this which relies so heavily on luck, it is good if you can get an ally to work with who is strong strategically so you can decrease reliance on luck. Corrine is turning out to be more than capable too. Traditionally (1 completed and 2 cancelled LOL) I prefer ally's who are... less than capable or easy to manipulate. I still think I can manipulate Cirie and Corrine (in a respectful way i.e my view is their view). But they are capable. People like justinbrotherbig, erihuffman etc are not so quick with strategy (sometimes a negative) and I like working with them. It's easy I find. This game it could be a flaw as I mentioned before due to the size of luck and number of players in the game. And sorry for biting your head off Jaime  But I do still think it was unfair to award an extra immunity for "closeness" and yet you didn't award one the previous round for my tribe which was much closer. |
