Número Primera ronda - 1
Slut Pride
(damn, look at those nips)

Alright, here we go! As things start off here in the jungle, we have some twists thrown at us. My biggest surprise personally was there being three tribes, as I've been of course expecting a classic two tribes of 8 with our numbers, as well as the two tribe names being shown. For there to be a third kinda threw me for a loop, because playing with only 5 players on a starting tribe will likely prove to be difficult. Here's hoping we can win an immunity to start things off here!


The past vote things worries me. With such small tribes, not pissing off the minority is more important than ever! A key part of each vote for me is definitely going to be to not be the leader, as that could potentially send me packing if the boot feels I deserve their wrath.


So far, I have been able to talk to Alecia, Amanda, Jeff, Keith, Lindsey, Malcolm, Morgan, and Yau-Man. That's over half the cast already, which I think is pretty fair for the first night. My immediate favorite seems to be Lindsey, I think she's a really personable gal and we already seem to be meshing well. After her I would say Jeff and me had a good conversation, followed by Alecia. Alecia and I had some refreshing conversation about weddings, but a lot of our conversation was drawn back to Survivor, something I think I did too much in my last game. I'm gonna make sure tomorrow that I stick to some better topics.


Lindsey and I's convo became about netflix, then kim k, then whether or not a spontaneous sex tape is slutty. That all ended up producing this gorgeous pic:

Like what even, I love looking at all these people's faces and there are just some wacky peeps here.

I'm already hoping that Lindsey will make it to a swap, as she seems someone adept to the game, but of course I haven't talked strategy with anyone yet, and that could change.

As for MY tribe mates, I talked with Keith for a bit and he seems like a nice guy. I think he seems reasonably understanding and capable, and I think we could make something work.

Morgan...seems like me, almost? During my first game? Very naiive...she says she has never made the jury, which surprises me. I'm assuming this is her second or third game then, unless she's really that bad? Unlikely...but possible. I'll have to see how she turns out, I only got a brief time with her. But right now, I feel things are good and I've had a good start to this game socially, already leagues ahead of my previous experience.

Kinda surprised at this, considering we hadn't had a lengthy conversation yet. But something to keep in mind.

[kenhoang]

Getting to know more people, I think I've determined that I have the least social tribe of the three. Even still, that does NOT mean I have the worst. Some of the social people on these other tribes I don't think I'm hugely clicking with, notably Taj, Yau-Man, Malcolm somewhat. Malcolm really just does not seem to retain a conversation, that being that I have to almost probe him for info on what he's doing. So far no major strategy talk, tho as you can see above, Natalie seems to like me, surprisingly. Of the people on my tribe, I've talked with Keith the most, and I think we're mostly comfortable with each other? It's not amazing chatter but it's something, we've talked about survivor and summer a bit, but not much else.

It's really hard not talking about school with these people? It's such a big part of my life that I don't really have any other huge experiences to talk about. Right now I've posed the idea that I'm a soon to be college freshman, while I'm actually going to be a senior. I feel like this is a pretty simple lie to hold up, and I think it'll give me some respect in maturity I might not have otherwise. If anything, I don't think it'll really detriment me.

The best part about my situation right now is really just that if we lose the first challenge, we will have Cochran as a buffer vote, since he hasn't seemed to have showed up. We'll see how this goes!

[kenhoang]

It's really tough doing a challenge for so long and having people with 6x as many posts as you. That kinda sucks.


But to be doing for so long, have several people better than you, and yet I've posted MORE THAN ANYONE ON MY TRIBE? and its not even close. As far as I know I'm certainly the only one thats posted their avatar. And the person with the most posts after me? Morgan, with like....52. Yau-Man has like fuckin 800+.


I think it's fair to say I'm not in a horrible position in this tribe? Cochran will be going home first as an inactive, obviously. Then, Natalie seems REALLY busy with her camp as of late. I don't think it'd be impossible to get her or Morgan out either honestly. As much as my relationship with Keith is iffy, he seems like my stick-to guy at least for now. I think after this tribal, it'd probably be good to establish something more proper with him and another player, either Morgan or Natalie. If we head to one more tribal I REALLY don't wanna fall out of the loop here.

It's really unfortunate that the people I like more are on other tribes? Lindsey is definitely still my favorite, I definitely find it easiest to speak to her and just talk about regular life? Some others I have to find a struggle to create common interests, but she actually throws a conversation back at you to delve into your own life and relate it back.


Taj is definitely the second best in that regard, but the stretch with Taj is that I feel there's a larger age gap with her. At least, it FEELS like there is, she keeps regarding how things were when she went to school and......idk. It's not a HUGE deal, I still could see something happening with her if need be.


Jeff definitely looks to be my number 2. I really am still enjoying bonding over baseball, tho I'm worried we haven't had enough talk about the game. With no votes yet and two in-actives, it's not IMMEDIATELY necessary to create anything, but now is getting close to the time as ever. I'm especially worried whether it's better to create or wait to create an alliance. Last game I waited too long, and probably would've been out early pre-merge if not for a swap. With the lower tribe numbers here, I am NOT letting that happen again.

[kenhoang]

Less than two hours left and we still haven't done JACK SHIT gosh that's bothersome. Where is everyone??? Keith is busy, and Natalie didn't do shit. Then Morgan is nowhere to be found...and guess what? That's it!


Small tribes are rough...

[kenhoang]

I WANNA DIE

[kenhoang]

Are we just the misfit tribe? Is that what this is? I think Ceviche is a mad scientist's cruel joke tbh. When KEITH is the player I feel best with, it's kinda super worrying??? And yet I'm in an OKAY position until a swap, I honestly think we can vote out Natalie first, then either Morgan or Cochran, whoever we get with. Afterwards, if Keith is true to me we can get Cochran out third if absolutely necessary. I don't really have enough trust with Keith that he would definitely keep me then, but then again he's only just met Cochran and the other two are barely on. Who knows...Cochran appearing was fuckin crazy today and woohoo! He was honestly ZERO help.


Like Keith immediately wants to bring him in and I kinda wtf'd? I thought Morgan would probably be better, no???


I don't know...hopefully this tribe doesn't last too long. I would kinda really like to get with other players, but for now I'll just have to survive this stage of the game.




Now lemme talk about this challenge...


...holy fuck.


I got basically all 6 of the ones we got, and we're NOT EVEN DONE. Like WTF are you guys doing??? Keith basically found the jeff kent one, I just dug it out of the source code. But Cochran was like a chicken with his head cut off, really! He seems like a waste of energy, but then again, so do Morgan and Natalie when they don't even show up to the challenge. Blegh, they all seem like great first boots if this were a larger tribe to be honest! 

[kenhoang]

Yeah baby!!!!

<- ours

It's nice to see we're not totally a bunch of potatoes! Natalie and Morgan each actually found one, like holy shit! The people that WEREN'T EVEN PRESENT for the first 6 hours found an avatar before Cochran. Offff course.

I'm VERY glad we won immunity because honestly, I don't know who I'd vote for. Keith wants to keep Cochran, yet I kind of want to vote Cochran out. He came late and tho he posted a few things, overall he has been the least help accumulatively.

It's also nice to see that an inactive will leave before an active player, I always hate when that isn't the case.

Right now the player I think I'm worried about the most is Liz. She seems to be a big personality and liked by a lot of people, and additionally from what I could gather, did pretty damn well in that challenge, even better than me. The fact that she seems really liked may prove to be difficult, so I'll just try to keep her on my radar here.

I kind of hope we swap here. I think in a lot of swap combinations I would be in a great spot, and I feel like if we stay and keep voting out the members of my tribe, a bunch of weaker players could be voted out of the game over stronger threats. Ideally I'd want a moderate amount of threats at the merge; enough to keep the target off my back, but that I'd still be able to disallow them from reaching that endgame.
