You around?
[4:16:42 PM] RJ Diggity: Yeah just got out of the shower. What's up?
[4:17:09 PM] Stephen: You scratched my back when I was in the kavachi with idol stuff, now I'll scratch yours.
[4:17:14 PM] RJ Diggity: Oh word
[4:17:18 PM] RJ Diggity: Lemme find the clue
[4:17:20 PM] Stephen: I have a list of things I've tried to no avail.
[4:17:27 PM] Stephen: Let's talk bruh.
[4:17:44 PM] RJ Diggity: Man I tried ... so many things
[4:18:16 PM] Stephen: Nothing work yet?
[4:18:24 PM] RJ Diggity: "2. Often times, people act first and think second, which can lead the most brutal and primeval actions history has ever seen."
[4:18:27 PM] RJ Diggity: Nothing.
[4:18:28 PM] RJ Diggity: I tried
[4:18:31 PM] RJ Diggity: Everything I could think of.
[4:18:50 PM] RJ Diggity: I tried "Iron Bottom Sound" along with the name of every ship in Iron Bottom Sound
[4:19:13 PM] Stephen: I've tried the following:
[4:19:15 PM] Stephen: last round
[4:19:27 PM] RJ Diggity: I tried every historical figure I could find related to the coup and civil war in the solomon islands in the early 2000s
[4:19:47 PM] Stephen: hold on I have them all on an excel file
[4:19:51 PM] RJ Diggity: I tried every historical figure I could find relating to the practice of "blackbirding" which was common in the Solomon Islands.
[4:20:02 PM] RJ Diggity: I haven't saved anything. Shit.
[4:20:11 PM] Stephen: walterenorth
usnsstockholm
leslierow
operationwatchtower
xivcorps
imperialjapanesenavy
operationfs
admiralernestking
admiralchesternemitz
alliedoffensivenewguinea
battleoftulagi
gavututanambogo
midnightraid
battleofsavoisland
cactusairforce
lundadefenses
hendersonfield
battleofedisonsridge
battleofcapeesperance (I NEVER tried any of the above, I just generated a random list.)
[4:20:53 PM] RJ Diggity: I tried the malaitaeagleforce and ... whatever the other one was that opposed them.
[4:20:59 PM] RJ Diggity: isatabu-something or other.
[4:21:00 PM] Stephen: none of those worked for me. so that'll save you at least some searching
[4:21:04 PM] RJ Diggity: yeah
[4:21:50 PM] RJ Diggity: I guess the picture of Samm holding up 3 fingers is supposed to represent that the answer is three words?
[4:21:56 PM] Stephen: It's rather a 3 or a W.
[4:22:11 PM] RJ Diggity: God damn it you're right
[4:22:15 PM] Stephen: or the answer is something to do with "three" or "third".
[4:26:43 PM] Stephen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Division_%28New_Zealand%29 check this out. Just a random throw out.
[4:27:51 PM] RJ Diggity: I just saw that
[4:28:06 PM] RJ Diggity: And tried everything in there that intersected with the Solomons in any way.
[4:28:49 PM] Stephen: You don't think production would throw an audible and make it something unrelated to the Solomon Islands, but moreso to the United States in relations with the Solomon Islands?
[4:29:43 PM] Stephen: Either way, I'm on the ball. I'd rather you get the idol because I read that you're up front and honest about things. You've been honest with me since day 1.
[4:30:01 PM] Stephen: although I have a few questions about things!
[4:31:11 PM] RJ Diggity: God damn it I thought I had something
[4:31:28 PM] RJ Diggity: Yeah what's up? I have to head out soon so I have like ... 10 minutes.
[4:31:41 PM] Stephen: Call or nah? Whatever is easier for you.
[4:32:14 PM] RJ Diggity: Um ... Just IM for now since I'm like storming around my room and wouldn't hear shit.
[4:32:32 PM] Stephen: sounds good man
[4:33:01 PM] Stephen: I remember you and I were on call and you were talking about rather kim/Jessica or the three girls knowing each other -- did you get further feedback on that?
[4:33:10 PM] RJ Diggity: Yeah
[4:33:12 PM] RJ Diggity: Okay
[4:33:13 PM] RJ Diggity: So
[4:33:16 PM] Stephen: I've talked to Molly a bit and she said she didn't know the two. [4:33:26 PM] RJ Diggity: Jessica's roommate Clayton knows Kim.
[4:33:33 PM] RJ Diggity: But Kim and Jessica don't know each other?
[4:33:38 PM] Stephen: Do you believe it?
[4:33:43 PM] RJ Diggity: Yeah I think I do. [4:33:59 PM] Stephen: it makes sense, I think we're all interconnected in a way
[4:34:40 PM] Stephen: like you said you knew of three people on the other tribe and they were indifferent of you and whatnot. I know of one person in the game but I'm not sure they remember me. So I feel like everyone is kinda interconnected
[4:34:50 PM] Stephen: but the thing that is interesting is
[4:35:45 PM] Stephen: I heard what you told me from two other people as well. Ruben and Ari.
[4:36:09 PM] RJ Diggity: Interesting
[4:36:20 PM] Stephen: Ruben tried to deflect it onto Ari, Ari just said he forgot who he heard it from. [4:36:22 PM] RJ Diggity: Ruben I told because I wanted to assure you both I wasn't voting for you.
[4:36:51 PM] RJ Diggity: Ari has been super sketchy with me though
[4:36:56 PM] Stephen: Of course man. And I wanted to win the challenge so we had the graces of talking a bit more and getting things started between us.
[4:37:02 PM] Stephen: because again I find you and I really like minded.
[4:37:04 PM] RJ Diggity: Like ... yesterday he demanded I tell him the idol clue.
[4:37:09 PM] Stephen: between you and I [4:37:28 PM] Stephen: Ari came to me yesterday and asked if I wanted the idol clue
[4:37:33 PM] Stephen: and gave me the idol clue
[4:37:38 PM] Stephen: so I don't know if he got it from you
[4:37:41 PM] RJ Diggity: He did
[4:37:45 PM] Stephen: or if he also demanded it from Sean and Tyler
[4:37:50 PM] Stephen: and why? I don't know
[4:37:51 PM] RJ Diggity: Because, like, he's not gonna get it unless he's Kavachi
[4:37:53 PM] Stephen: because he can't even guess.
[4:37:57 PM] RJ Diggity: Exactly.
[4:38:01 PM] RJ Diggity: Why try to strongarm me?
[4:38:12 PM] RJ Diggity: And why should I care about giving it to him?
[4:38:16 PM] Stephen: Another thing I know
[4:38:20 PM] RJ Diggity: "Here's your clue Ari. Good luck!"
[4:38:24 PM] Stephen: is he's tried this with everyone.
[4:38:33 PM] RJ Diggity: Like
[4:38:36 PM] RJ Diggity: Literally, why?
[4:38:39 PM] Stephen: on day 1 he messaged me saying he has my back. [4:38:45 PM] RJ Diggity: He did the same to me.
[4:39:02 PM] Stephen: on call I was listening and it was at least half of our tribe without Ari
[4:39:32 PM] Stephen: Sean, myself, Molly, Tyler, I think Kim but it was late-- probably +1 or 2 or -1 or 2 others.
[4:39:36 PM] Stephen: and everyone said the same thing
[4:39:40 PM] Stephen: I like Ari
[4:39:53 PM] RJ Diggity: Yeah he's ... overplaying.
[4:39:55 PM] RJ Diggity: To say the least.
[4:40:16 PM] RJ Diggity: Personally I say let him overplay.
[4:40:40 PM] Stephen: I was thinking of taking him to the side and talking to him about calming it down--because I feel if his energy is channeled in a right way, it would be advantageous to the tribe
[4:40:44 PM] Stephen: aaand advantageous to us.
[4:40:51 PM] Stephen: but
[4:40:58 PM] Stephen: I don't even know if that's possible.
[4:41:26 PM] RJ Diggity: The thing is ... he might rebel against that.
[4:42:02 PM] Stephen: What could you forsee in that situation?
[4:42:07 PM] RJ Diggity: I feel like he sees himself as "The Mastermind" and if one of us tries to calm him down, he could easily go all Russell Hantz and try to take us out.
[4:42:35 PM] RJ Diggity: And he's not hurting anybody for now.
[4:42:39 PM] Stephen: I think he's paranoid about going into a kavachi.
[4:42:50 PM] RJ Diggity: I think he is too.
[4:43:04 PM] RJ Diggity: He's WAY paranoid for it only being the second round.
[4:43:14 PM] Stephen: do you think he's going to wind up in this upcoming round?
[4:43:42 PM] RJ Diggity: Who's eligible? Kim, Jess, Molly, you, Ruben, Ari, Bill?
[4:43:46 PM] Stephen: Yeah
[4:44:07 PM] RJ Diggity: And you, Molly, Ruben can all be like "Uh ... I was already Kavachi. No thx"
[4:44:11 PM] Stephen: and the hot rumor on the Gwale call last night was it'll be between the four who haven't went in
[4:44:20 PM] RJ Diggity: God I wish I had been AWAKE
[4:44:31 PM] Stephen: You killed the challenge yesterday.
[4:44:40 PM] Stephen: and I wanted to kill it because you literally put the tribe on your back
[4:44:47 PM] RJ Diggity: Well
[4:44:57 PM] Stephen: I channeled everything to ensure I didn't fuck up because you were up too fucking long for this shit.
[4:45:01 PM] RJ Diggity: Sean was ... pretty much useless. And Tyler had trouble uploading.
[4:45:07 PM] RJ Diggity: It was the least I could do.
[4:45:15 PM] Stephen: You played handicap the entire time.
[4:45:31 PM] RJ Diggity: Ugh I like Sean, but he annoyed the shit out of me with that challenge. I'm still a little more bitter than I should be.
[4:45:44 PM] Stephen: You have every right to be.
[4:45:50 PM] RJ Diggity: I'll get over it.
[4:46:01 PM] RJ Diggity: Okay. I have to head out for like 2 hours. I'll be back tonight.
[4:46:07 PM] RJ Diggity: Peace out man!
[4:46:22 PM] Stephen: Sounds good man. Message me when you're back!
[4:46:29 PM] Stephen: Have a good one!
---
tl;dr: RJ is seemingly being honest with me -- but I have a long way to go which is why I have to decide whether to throw my name in the hat for kavachi 3: do I want an idol? Or do I want time to try to form, or "form" something with RJ? Since we haven't been to Tribal, I don't know where I am on the totem pole--so if we lost immunity anything can happen.
