So last round was kinda quiet. I meant to write a really huge confessional about the challenge/stuff that happened during it but for some reason I never got around to it. So let's recap, shall we?
That challenge was a nightmare. First of all - people, patience! Holy shit. I'm starting to really remember why I don't miss hosting. "Challenge will be up around 9:30!" "HEY LEX, LEX, HEY LEX, IT'S 9:31!" "YO IT'S 9:32" "HEY LOOK AT THAT IT'S 9:33!" "9:34 WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?" Uggggh. The challenge itself was far from an improvement. People not knowing where the compartment subforums were for the first 10 minutes, even after we carefully explain or link them (Leann). Fucking dummies like Todd popping in during the Draining part going "WELL GEE, I GUESS I HAVE NOTHING TO DO HUH?", just needing to have something to say at all times. Then that puzzle map, that was a lot of fun. We have 6 people working on 6 different maps instead of all working together. One of them, Todd, is working on it in Photoshop instead of fucking around with the tags so when he figures it out, he has no idea what the actual order is. So that was real fucking helpful. Then we have these dumbasses posting their maps in public without making absolute sure they were right, which made it so our entire progress could have been stolen.
After all this, I decide to cause the biggest amount of drama the challenge had seen. I saw Hatch reading he and Dave's compartment draining, so I decided to skim through it and noticed they missed a number. I mentioned it in the chat, without really meaning anything by it. Course it caused more of a mess than I could have ever imagined.
I barely tried in this challenge because let's face it, if we won - Dave or Dan were gone. So why did we try so hard to win? I have no idea. I'm really curious to see what Leann or Jamie may think of Dan going home. By no means am I bleeding old Lugata blood. I really am not too fond of these people. I feel like I'm on the bottom and most of them... have been pretty fucking shady!
Admittedly due to my terrible character roll, I've been quiet around people like Dave and Jamie as I don't want to completely deteriorate what I built up. I haven't really been super douchey to Jamie, but I have been snubbing him and purposely killing conversations to come off as cold. This shit gotta end though, I can't imagine he likes this too much.
Now... couple of strange things that have happened.
#1 - I mentioned this in passing, but I should mention it in greater detail.
Jamie Newton (13:53:04): but you're not on the bottom, she's just trying to play it up with people. hate her.
Greg Buis (13:53:34): I don't think she said anything about that
I know I may be nitpicking at this, but this REALLY sticks out to me. Ciera nor Hatch never, ever mentioned anything about me being on the bottom. I was told by Hatch that I could be out when I was on a tribe with just myself and Dave, but never about the old Lugata crew. This is just really troubling to me. What this sounds like is Jamie mentioned it to someone and is now worried it may get back to me, so he's perhaps covering his tracks.
And #2, here's something about my good buddy Dave...
Richard Hatch (14:11:50): You were going first here though.. even though Ciera worked Dave and Kelly into making you feel unsafe.
Richard Hatch (14:11:56): Because I was like what happens if Greg doesnt switch
Richard Hatch (14:12:00): Ciera was like he's gone anyways
Greg Buis (14:13:32): Wait
Greg Buis (14:13:35): Dave was in on that too?
Richard Hatch (14:14:51): Mhm
Richard Hatch (14:15:01): Him and Ciera made a fake conversation
Richard Hatch (14:15:04): to show you
Hatch could absolutely be lying here. But this is a very, very specific accusation. Sounds like Ciera may have mentioned this to Hatch and in turn, he told me. Dave has been very quiet with me since I mutinied so that is a red flag.
With my growing frustration over Leann, isolation from Todd and wariness of Jamie & Dave.... I'm just really not feeling this Lugata Power that we had planned for the merge. At all.
In any event - two rounds are down so here's a re-shuffle.
Old - Ciera
ORG Cunt Goddess - Dave
Liar - Laura
Bot - Chet
Big Mouth - John
Woman - Richard
Normal - Leann
British - Kelly
Happy - Todd
Teenage - Dreamz
Honest - Jamie

Old and ORG Cunt Goddess will make things a little awkward with those two. Richard getting woman again is lame, but I never really got to talk to him much so hey. Overall, I can work with this for the most part. Nothing game killing this time around.
LOL. Just heard about the drama on the other tribe.
They tried to blindside Ciera and she ended up using her idol. So yes, Ciera had the Battleship idol. Good to know!
Also it's absolutely wonderful that I hear this from Ciera of all people and nobody else has mentioned it to me once, despite talking to numerous people since last night.
Old Greg. Like I said, I had no patience to be dabbling with my Greg personalities when I was that pissed so I was in character to really nobody during that whole thing :-X I think I called him a whippersnapper and young man a few times if that counts.
