Erica caused a bit of a stir over here by calling out some people on doing too much small talk. The guys you used to be with aren't keen on her at all.
Oh boy, how are they doing now? Everyone must feel pretty secure about how they want to vote.

What I intend to look for is something like a river or another kind of natural formation that would be near or cross the Argentina/Chile border. It could maybe be something like the Amazon Rainforest that is across multiple South American countries. I also want to look into the meaning of our tribe names, because in Malaysia each tribe actually had a different password with the exact same set of clues.
It's all good YveWe are both figuring all this out as go along, so now that we've agreed to do this it doesn't matter that it didn't happen with the same speed in the past.
I stayed up until around 2 AM working on this, but I didn't get anywhere. But THANK YOU for the tips. I was trying capital letters and lowercase letters for everything last night. You just saved me so much time.
And I heard a rumor that you guys got your third clue tonight. If you break the password, I should be up for another four hours or so at least. I really want to crack it tonight.
Chase wrote:Marty and I haven't really been online much at the same time as me, so I think that might be the main issue. The main concern I had with Brook/John is that I kinda expected that Brook would get attention for his activity levels and that would be problematic to handle. John had the same issue when he was at Palena, it was generally agreed that he was the least active member of the tribe and I'm not sure he managed to catch everyone in the four days he was over here.
Brook was actually doing fine for himself, until you sent this message to me. I think a few other people on my tribe got the message that Brook was up to no good. And I'm sure you can figure out what else happened.
Chase wrote:Brook is fine as long as he believes you are on his side and I am sure that he wouldn't attempt to make that alliance across tribes if he didn't think that about both of us. The main thing is that he doesn't tend to think in terms of challenge performance and so on, it really is strategic connections that he puts an emphasis on.
Without knowing anything about the specific dynamics you have over there those are the two names I would pick. We are almost at the point where you would know better than me and I have faith in you to make the correct call.
Jimmy J is a strange one. Ted kept his Fan Survey in his confessional for storage reasons and passed it onto to me:

1. What personality types do you get along with? clash with? I get along fairly alright with pretty much anyone. I've got one primary rule of thumb, though - be a douche, expect a douche. I don't like assholes. I don't like the stupid fucking HBICs that so many people try and fail to be. It's incredibly stupid and pointless, and it's a complete waste. That being said, I'm not going to be here long enough for it to matter, so there's that to consider.
2. Are you typically a dominant personality in most friendships? Submissive? Neither? I'm going to go with option D, all of the above. It depends on who it is. I don't care how it goes. Like I said, I very probably won't be here long enough for it to make any difference at all.
3. What is your strategy in the game? Strategy? STRATEGY?! Where's the roflmao smilie when you need one? That's just laughable.
4. What type of partner are you looking for in the game? One who doesn't mind the fact that their partner is completely and utterly fucked, even before the game's started, just because of who he is. Or, you know, bottom of the barrel. O don't care who it ends up being.
5. How would most people describe you? What are you really like? Uh. Hello? THIS is what I'm really like. Okay, usually I'm more mellow and I've sworn upwards in the thousands of times more often than I usually do over the course of two PMs and a confession post.
So, why on earth did anyone pick him? Was he picked last? He's doing a little better socially, but he was ultimately saved tonight because of his challenge performance.
Chase wrote:I'll try to get hold of the rest if I can. Not surprised that it was Erica who picked him after reading that.
I really want to meet this Erica person. And Ted. They seem fun.
Chase wrote:I'll keep that in mind about Marty. He might have said he was close to you only to try to influence me into being involved in that alliance they offered. If he is legitimate I suppose it doesn't matter, but Wendy Jo contacted me with gossip that Marty was integrating with the Veterans and I haven't heard back from her where she heard it![]()
Well, I'm trying to integrate with the veterans (you), so it's not too big a deal. I was closer to Dan or Wendy over Marty, but Marty over Jane or Jimmy.
Chase wrote:I know right? All we needed to do was win one challenge and Russell would have known she wasn't being sincere. I can see why Jane stood out as someone to vote out after hearing that.
Ugh, she was the worst. But they keep asking about how we feel with her. Like, too many times. Have they ever done an outcast twist in Stranded?

I bet you were surprised tonight. All this is for you, Mr. Chase.
