Volume I: Originis, Chapter 3: Active or Loyal?

Round 3 to go in here.

[Randy Bailey]

Well this has been a crazy day in the game. Frosti had a meltdown and somehow I was brought into it. We had a big decision between Dreamz and Russell.

Well first to todays drama. Basically what happened was I said something to Mookie (knowing how it would be easy to trick him) that I was with him over this whole Frosti issue and I basically added fuel to the fire. The next day, it turns out that the issue has exploded. I hear I am apart of a huge 10 person alliance (how I don't know) that is to be known from this point forward as the "Anti-Frosti alliance." Well I acted like I had no idea how I was apart of it but I suspect it was through Marcus who I PWed a series with or Mookie who I had expressed concerns with. Either way I think this is a good thing for me. Lets the 9 others trust me more whether I am apart of it or not. In this game the more people you know (like Marcus) the better. So I just acted to Frosti pretending I had no idea what was happening, playing both sides saying I wasn't going to vote her out. And it worked of course. These people are all going crazy and really, I like that. More drama takes the attention away from me later on and peopel with vendettas is exactly what I want. It enables me to feed on the fear and anger, use it for my advantage. So I talk to James and Mookie, acting all innocent but at the same time making them all on edge. No one wants to be apart of this 10 person alliance. But its good, I am confident that Frosti trusts me enough not to believe I am in it. But it will taint the others in the long term.

Now Frosti the drama queen explodes left, right and centre at everyone about how everyone is bullying her (I suspect Frosti is a girl) and how it is all unfair. Well boo-hoo everyone in the game doesn't need to hear about this craziness. She is going around all crazy telling people how she feels ganged up on, yet Stacy, one of the ten in the alliance, is being ganged up by her own tribe and going home. What a hypocrite Frosti is. Just crazy how the minds of some of these players work, it makes no sense how they can't see they preach something yet don't practise it.

Now to the real part of the game. The strategy part. We had a big decision to make. Do we keep the challengely active Russell or the loyal Dreamz? They both have their positives and negatives. Dreamz is loyal yet is so lazy in the challenges. Russell is very socially-inept, like Crystal and I have seen him only once on AIM. So the question for me is do I trust someone I have hardly spoken to yet could pull our tribe through or dump him? Ultimatly I have decided to dump him. With the swap soon to happen, I need my numbers and Dreamz is a puppet. Especially after this vote.

What worries me is everyone knows I am the one in power. EVERYONE (except social expert Russell) in the tribe this round sent me a PM or IM asking me who to vote out. It seriously worries me as we all know what happens to those kinds of people. However I have it under control. If everyone thinks they are "in" with me, its all good. Dreamz is the only one who probably doesn't feel it. And he knows I am in control. Look how he pleaded:

"PLEASE DONT VOTE ME OFF and please SAVE ME RANDY!! "

It's kinda sad. I thought I had established him as the leader well enough for him to believe. Obviously not. I will have to further reinforce that again. I cannot have people thinking I am in too much power as they will tell others and these others, will vote me off.

I love this thing happening with me and Sandra. Its quite funny. Shes got a great social game though and is already displaying it so I am on my guard. Hopefully it doesn't make people think we are close, which, it probably does. She could probably wrestle control of the tribe away from me. Just by the fact she is a women. Get these other guys whipped and bam, no more President Randy. I cannot be whipped and will not be controlled by her though. No one controls me! I am a beast for sure!

So Russell is going and he deserves to go too. Its sad but its gotta happen. This is a long term game because of the sheer size and had it been shorter, perhaps Dreamz would be going. I dunno. But I need someone who will vote with me and vote fullstop. Thats a concern with Russell too.

Maybe more later maybe not. Got a busy week ahead.

Randy, do you think girls have an advantage in the game over the boys? Is it easier to get further in the game by just being a girl?

Yes they do, you girls take advantage of raging hormones and use it to your advantage. More power to you though, its a clever strategy. And from what I have heard, you and Jaime are terrific examples of this style of play.

And yes it is easier to get further and also to win by just being a girl. Am I being sexist? No. Just realistic. I think you would agree too.

Btw I am Tom your Co-host from New Zealand

[Jaime Huffman]

Errr... I happen to kick ass in challenges too Randy!!!

And, LOL, I actually played a game that 98% of the cast was openly gay, there were like 2 straight guys, Erik being one of them, so my flirting did no good there, lol.
