I think Dave just popped the f2 cherry with me. I've been trying to get him to bring up the end game with me and then possibly bring up Jamie so we can get some final deals in place. So talking to Dave now about the end game.. um



And he just brought up Jamie.

John Cody
I think Chet is good to vote with me for a while, do you have anyone on lugata you could bring in and stick with us?
just now
Dave Ball
Honestly man, the person I probably trust the most after you is Jamie, even though he makes me a little worried, I wasn't close with Greg, but that happened without consideration and went fast. I don't know if I'd want him to go too close.

Jamie has been playing very on the radar. I kind of expect other people to take him out before the end game and that wouldn't be horrible for my game.

Dave Ball
For sure, for now i stay we stick with that group of 6, me, you, chet. jamie, leann and todd

I think I feel okay with that final 6. But I need to get Chet to think there's a crack in the alliance so he'll go with us on this. There's still a bunch of time since I think Rich has been agreed on as the next boot.

Here's the convo, sorry the formatting sucks balls with the icon shit. It's towards the end of the convo

I think we've got a good thing going on and I don't think anyone knows we talk like this, Rich probably makes people think I'm with Lugata and thinks you and Chet are a pair or something. 20 mins agoJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody exactly it works out well that we weren't on the same tribe in the beginning, if they think I'm totally with chet then that's good they can think they know where we stand 18 mins agoDave Ball's iconDave Ball Now, what are you thinking near future, I don't mean to strategize and get eager, but just matching up and checking agendas, who do you like in the future or worry about man? 17 mins agoJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody I think Chet is good to vote with me for a while, do you have anyone on lugata you could bring in and stick with us? 15 mins agoDave Ball's iconDave Ball Honestly man, the person I probably trust the most after you is Jamie, even though he makes me a little worried, I wasn't close with Greg, but that happened without consideration and went fast.

From Ciera: anyway you could get on AIM? I want to talk to you.

Ciera Eastin User Avatar Online Marker - Reputation: -13 + Group: Jury Posts: 288 Joined: Jan 12, 2014 Ignore User 2nd Feb 2014 6:33 PM I'm pretty sure the vote is between you and I tonight. Jamie told you to vote me, right? Jamie also told me to vote for you. So who is he being honest with? Here's what I know. Jamie invited me into a final 6 majority alliance with Richard, Kelly, Todd, and Dreamz. However, I don't trust the alliance at all. I accepted the offer of course, and I was willing to go along with it, but only because I am incredibly desperate for something and someone to trust in this game. I hope we can look past our differences in the game and really see that we are both being played right now. I propose a majority of our own; You, me, Chet, Richard, Kelly, and Laura. I believe that Lugata is still tight together, and if we don't make a move tonight it's going to be one of us going. If you're willing to do it, I have Chet, Rich and Kelly wanting to vote for Todd. I haven't seen Laura online yet but I'll try to get her into it as well. What do you say?

And from Rich

Hey John, Just letting you know that I'm 110% in with Ciera's plan. Jamie made a final 6 alliance with Dreamz, Kelly, Ciera, Todd, Jamie, and myself. The plan on the 6 was to vote you out. I think that we should definitely make a move to vote out Todd. Chet, Kelly, Ciera, Laura, Dreamz and I all said we voted for Todd. So he will go home.

SO HE WILL GO HOME. First of all saying someone is going home in an online ORG is silly. I know a bunch of people say it but I usually think about it literally. Oh well, it seemed like he was threatening me in a way, or maybe just being so graceful that he was letting me in with the majority. THANKS RICH <3 I'm so happy that I was in your good graces for you to tell me the outcome of the vote so I wouldn't vote for someone else and be out of the majority! Like when everyone was voting Danni and you never told me! Remember that? Oh yeah you still blame me for never wanting to vote that way and not trusting me, but this time you try to get all your bases covered and "trust" people BUT YOU PLAY AN IDOL.

ANYWAYS I felt a need to vent about the shits thats been going on. These things are such an added stress in your life, we're such masochists for doing them. But when you vote out an enemy and another one wastes and idol in the same round it can be all worth it. SI has been fucking nuts, these people are all crazy strategy whores and I love it. This has been one of my favorite games for real.

Also, saying it in the real Survivor also doesn't make sense. They don't actually go home. They all end up going home on the same day. THIS PHRASE IS USELESS

Here we kick you into a life raft all alone and let you figure out the way home yourself.

I like it. Saying someone is "GOING HOME!" makes a bigger impact than saying...they're going to a nice resort until we've wrapped up the season.

YOU'RE GOING HOME

I got to talk to Todd this morning but I'm afraid I was too distracted. IDK he said he wanted to work with me for the long term, then I had to get a bite to eat, then I came home and took a nap. naps > strategizing. He said he's worked with Jamie and trusts him, I said I like him and I might be able to bring in chet. But I think we can make it work cuz



I waited too late to start the challenge. again naps > challenges. So I know I can't win. Looks like rich isn't trying so that option is still open.

Rich is going around trying to save himself, being pretty passive aggressive about things in general. Like a sad puppy he's trying to say he's all alone. I've talked to everyone, they're all getting the same speech, here's the convo I had with him.

Richard Hatch Hi John. I know I'm going this round. I didn't bother with the challenge. I didn't want to be exhausted and just buy myself one round. I know we've never gotten off on the right foot in this game. But I don't plan you. I know you probably just had things in store, etc. 7:52 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch I've never had bad intentions towards you. I always wished we could have worked together. 7:52 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch But I'm rooting for you. 7:52 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch I don't blame* 7:54 PMJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody thanks rich 7:54 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch No problem. 7:54 PMJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody maybe they could've been different but we both know its only a game 7:55 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch Yeah, I know it's a game. Do I think it's the right decision to get rid of me? No. I don't have a single person left, but that's the game. Sometimes you just have to stick with things. 7:55 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch I realize I made my bed. 7:59 PMJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody yeah I don't wanna give you any false hope or anything no reason to do that now 7:59 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch Oh, I know. You've done that enough. ;-) 7:59 PMJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody well you know why! 8:00 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch Well, yeah. I don't blame you. Do you think I was ever against you though? 8:00 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch Well.. before Jamie made the fake 6 anyways. 8:00 PMJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody I didn't think I could trust you long term especially after the danni thing 8:01 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch Yeah. I'll even say this after I'm voted out this round. I wanted to align with you and Chet on that gold tribe. I know it probably didnt seem like it at the time. 8:02 PMJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody yeah and I know you were kind of forced to be with ciera after that 8:03 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch Yeah. I actually don't like Ciera. lol. 8:03 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch People think she's like my BFF. 8:03 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch But I actually really dislike her. 8:03 PMRichard Hatch's iconRichard Hatch She's just the only one who was relatively honest with me. 8:03 PMJohn Cody's iconJohn Cody

So I'm not lying to him again since the idols are gone. Once he's gone Dreamz and Laura (if she's even still around) will have no one and could be dangerous. This should be an easy vote though, I hope.

Well Rich said he's going out classy but he's kicking and screaming on his way out talking shit about people and throwing them under the bus. Apparently I'm sketchy because I was a swing vote, he's saying Dave and Kelly are close, Jamie is a drama queen.



I'm just staying out of it, I told Rich what I needed to, I don't see anyone flipping unless something crazy happens.
