Kelly K. (Kelly2722):

So tonight’s plan is to tie the vote between Eric and Ryan just in case Ryan found the idol, that way myself Romeo and Matt are all still safe and won’t be taken out by Ryan’s sole vote if he does play an idol. If Eric does decide to flip and vote with Ryan, then we’ll still be able to tie and send Eric packing. But if Ryan doesn’t play an idol, he is definitely going home in the revote. This is for you Ray(heart)

Kelly K. (Kelly2722):

So Ryan and I had a huge fight because he’s mental and scrambling, so now he’s trying to flip the vote on me moments after he tried to flip it onto Eric. I’m not worried at all though. I know I’m not going gone how bout that? Ryan can take his ass home.

-----ERIC GETS 16TH-----

Kelly K. (Kelly2722):

That tribal was so good, SO GOOD. I mean I didn’t want Eric to go because I do genuinely believe he wasn’t after me and we could’ve worked well together, but everyone saw the move that I made and they love it, the fans at home love it I’m sure. I’m building my resume and I have to play an even more aggressive game to get to the finale and win.

-----TRIBE SWAP-----

Ben P. (benp428):

WOW THIS FUCKING SWAP COULDNT OF BEEN BETTER! I got Ryan Bigben and David on this tribe... The plan to take disgusting kelly out :)

David M. (DavidM7):

*holds up parchment that says KELLY S*

It just feels so good to write down your name. Take you and your Anti-semite, dead baby posting, doxing ass outta here :*

Matt F. (GiGi10):

Me finally being safe but also being in the worst position I've been in this game is fun. Idk what all the swaps are about but BOY is my tribe not it. Half my tribe is the people I've been working with all game and they want to throw and vote out basically my closest ally Dylan, who's been working with the other group. Fortunately we won the competition anyways because Hufus didn't look at skype and Ethan is a beast. People are already coming @ me for saying I didn't want to throw though so that's weird of them. I know I can't work with that side for much longer so cutting ties soon is probably what has to happen unfortunately :(

If we do lose I'm just not sure what would happen. It would come down to what Sydney and Hufus want to do and I really don't know where they stand. I'm assuming Dylan would be the target which really blows for me, and if they keep throwing after that it'd probably be Ethan? I honestly just don't know and it's annoying.

The other tribe is voting Kelly I think, he's kind of been awful in the chat this game so that's fine. He had to go and I'm glad I don't have to slay him. It's annoying that Ryan is surviving and will have a shot at 2 more idols if he merges, but I will be voting him out until he goes so either I'm gone and don't have to deal with him or he's gone. :)

Oh and as for the last few votes, I knew what was happening in both so that's nice. I was informed that Ryan had an idol and knew Ray was being voted out, it's fine and it is what it is. Love Ray but him being slayed makes me rise on that side's totem pole. For the last vote, I didn't know for sure if Ryan had another idol but I did know Kelly was splitting on Eric just in case. I figured Eric wouldn't vote me because we have a good relationship so kinda love that! He really did fuck himself over though.

Here's a few words for each of my new tribemates:

Jake B.- He's probably gonna win the game, he's close with so many people and is clearly the leader. I don't know how close he feels to me but soon we will see!

Matt- not winner after this swap :)

Kelly K.- Honestly loyal king, saved my ass so I will do my best to repay the favour, although I'm not too sure where I actually stand with him.

Hufus- I think we have a similar mindset so I would like to work with him. I don't think he wants to throw and I do get that. He's someone I hope survives to merge.

Dylan- :( probably a goner pre-merge which is unfortunate. He's working w bigben and co. and my tribe just does not like that. I'll be very sad if he leaves.

Romeo- lol honestly kind of annoyed w him. clearly he was just throwing so Kelly could make merge but I guess that's not happening now sooo! He's closer to others than me although he wouldn't make a move against me ATM.

Sydney- wildcard on this tribe. I do want to work with her but I'm not sure who she's close to. I'll definitely be talking with her quite a bit tonight/tomorrow.

Ethan H.- comp king. Definitely friends with a lot of people and things are gonna get messy for him so that'll be interesting. I feel good with him right now.

Overall, I have no reason to worry about not merging but I can also fuck myself over pretty bad depending on the route I take. Should be an interesting few days! I wish my tribe would just want to win :(

Jake B. (Lemjam6):

This swap could not have gone much better for me. I was put on a tribe with four of the five people I worked with on my original tribe and Kelly K is definitely someone I can order it as well. Also I have Ethan who I’m working with and we’ve promised to protect each other as much as we can.

I felt so confident that I wanted to throw the challenge yesterday. It’s never good to lose and you should never feel confident in this game but the pros outweigh the cons to me. Now I’m fairly confident that Kellie or Raul will be voted out and that sucks for my game.

It’s already obvious to me how the sides sides are going to end up shaking up in this game:

Jake/KellyK/KellyS/Romeo/Matt/Raul/Hufus/Marto
vs
Ethan/Brittney/BigBen/BenP/Sydney/David/Dylan/Ryan

That’s why throwing the challenge would’ve been a crucial move because we would’ve had one leg up. However Matt and Hufus  didn’t want to throw because they have this belief that Ryan will get out but I just don’t see it. It would be dumb for them to take out someone who clearly has no allies. BigBen aint gonna let that fly. Throwing was worth the risk in my mind.

I was seriously crying tears of laughter on the tribe call yesterday because Romeo said in front of everyone that he wanted to throw to take out Dylan. Then he said he’s a shepherd and we’re all the sheep and thats how he plays best. I don’t know about that, but if I need to pretend that he’s the shepherd I’m going to do it. We all already know the truth.

Jake B. (Lemjam6):

And...how can I not talk about that tribal? That could not have gone better in my mind. I don't know Eric that well and I definitely don't dislike him, but I never viewed him as someone who I could work because I feel like we just have different friends in the game. I think Eric is an underrated player. I think he's a smart kid. Is he the most impressive strategist I've ever seen? No, but he's a competent player and he doesn't have a big target on his back. Those are the people I want to see out of this game.

Ryan has a lot of enemies and a huge target on his back, so although my allies are pissed about it, I think Ryan being in the game is better for me. I would've absolutely hated to see Romeo, Matt, or Kelly get taken out by an idol so this was literally the best-case scenario at tribal last night. My allies stay in the game and a big target stays in the game. Check.

Kelly S. (Kelly0412):

*writes down RYAN*

and i will write ur name down again in the police report u PEDOPHILE

Dylan O. (DBWs):

So after giving the idol to Ryan, I thought I completely saved his game, cemented our alliance, and would flush the idol so only had to worry about the OG Naifaru one. Well an hour before tribal Ryan tells me that he actually also had the OG Naifaru one that some user named Idols found for him (apparently she is amazing at finding idols, who knew). However, Idols and him had a falling out of nowhere and she revealed the idol to ppl in the game? This wouldn't be the first time Ryan's outside relationships came into the game *flashback of Chance calling out Ken/I and calling Ken the n word for being on call with Ryan in HvV*. Good times, good times.

So yeah, Ryan's outside relationships effected the game yet again. Not only that, I became aware of the fact that his pedo allegations are actually real? Like I am hardly on this site anymore and I don't know when this came up, I legit thought people were just calling him a pedo as a joke since they call people awful shit all the time. It's like the boy who cried pedo. Although you should probably listen to the boy in that case in retrospect...

David/I both had a talk about it last night cuz we were both pretty ignorant on the issue, it's just such an odd situation where you know a person and get along with them and suddenly feel in a way betrayed by them doing shit like that. At the same time, it's a question of do we give someone that we know and get along with any benefit of the doubt? Or is that more harmful by ignoring the issue. I feel like it's more the latter.

I'm also a socialist (have I also mentioned I'm a vegan?) and a large part of it is dialectics, the idea that things continually move and change and aren't static, and this applies to every facet of life including human society. The ol' you can't walk into the same river twice because the second time it is a different river. It's about judging things not on one static time or place, but understanding the things that brought them to that place, the material conditions that allowed someone to take that course of action in the first place. I'm guessing that is to do with being on this toxic hellhole of a site, it doesn't excuse the behavior, but tries to get to the systemic issue that caused said behavior and rooting it out so the behavior is gone too. All this to say it's a complicated fucking issue, and one I feel awful for being apart of. At the same time, I haven't fully heard any side of the story, just third person accounts, the situation is so muddied and I'm just lost on how to handle it.

How I see it now is that I just cannot work with Ryan anymore with these all coming up, just like how many people judged the IoI cast for not getting rid of Dan, it's just this really fucking complicated issue where I wanna just get away from it entirely.

Whew that was a lot. I didn't even get to any of the dynamics on my tribe from the last vote... Cuz there weren't any? Like David/myself kinda wanted to throw the challenge to get rid of Kelly for going @ Ben, us, and Sydney in the main chat, but knew it didn't fucking matter as Ethan would win anyway. The challenge was spam so it's not like my efforts could do anything. I gave my normal effort in that I spammed the like 5 people who like me, while blogging and posting in my casting to get like 8 white levels to really make the difference.

Dylan O. (DBWs):

The lead of the challenge kept fucking changing, at first we were in last by a huge margin, then we were in first, then 2nd for a while, even being last for a hot second again until we got 1st (even tho I'm pretty sure we got 2nd but thanks Newz I can put in the voting chart my tribe got 1st!).

At the tribal that I was not apart of, Matt/Kelly/Romeo wanted Ryan out, and tried to get Eric to do it as well, while Matt I believe threw a vote at Eric just in case of an idol. To my knowledge, both Ben and Ryan pleaded with Eric to vote with Ryan to save his own ass because why the fuck wouldn't you? Like you are on the bottom of those 4, they may split it on you just like Ray said he wanted to do, what do you gain? Plus showing loyalty to Ryan would set him up better if they went to tribal again so they could be a united force and the other side would flip before going to rocks. In the end tho, Matt stayed and honestly I feel like that may be better for my game. Eric/I don't really have much of a relationship, and I really do like Matt even tho I fully believe he's going to vote me out again but it's ok he's funny sometimes.

Raul M. (MrBird):

Yeah I’m voting for Ryan, I’m not changing, I’m not budging, I’m aware your justification to cast such a morally deprived person is that there is like 10 more people just like him (in the sense they are morally deprived, not his actions) in the cast, and I think that’s fine, these are the winners your series produced, there’s not actually much you can do about it.

But I can, I CAN do something about it, and I’m not going to play a game with somebody like him, if I go home because of this, or if I’m the 3rd person in a row to get idoled out trying to get him out, so be it, call it what you want but this is personal and it goes beyond the game, good luck to everyone and thank you for hosting if I do leave.

Romeo K. (BritishRomeo17):

I was upset that I had to cut Eric, I really don't fucking understand where this bitch iceey is getting all these idols, like come on now... But whatever, I am closer to Kelly K and Matt, so sadly I had to vote off Eric, I wish I could have went further with him.

This tribe swap is pretty good for me, but what's not fucking good is that my allies on the tribe completely ignored me when I gave the clear instructions to throw the challenge, like what the fuck! Sydney, Ethan and Dylan are numbers for the other alliance, and not us, so since we have majority why don't we throw and get one of them out of here? I really don't understand why nobody besides Jake listened to me, and now it will be their funeral because we are about to lose a number in Kelly S or Raul.

Ethan, now he has to go, I was going to go for Dylan first, but Ethan is way too competitive in challenges and I plan to stay throwing them until we swap again, so we need to get rid of him, he's also friends with Dylan so I think that was a poor choice on his part, cause now I'm going to be after him, I do believe if he wasn't in that challenge we could have successfully lost, so yeah I'm bitter about it.

I'm going to try and work on Sydney so that she can at least be a close ally of mine becasue I realise that if this is going to be a game with sides going against each other, I need at least one person on the other side to be close with, and that sure as hell ain't gonna be Brittney after that bitch lied to me, so I need Sydney.
