ryansurvivor1984: hey steven
AmzApprentice: hi
AmzApprentice: whos this?
ryansurvivor1984: Ryan from the online survivr game
AmzApprentice: which survivor im like in 4 lol
ryansurvivor1984: survivor holidays valentines day
AmzApprentice: thought so hi
ryansurvivor1984: hi
ryansurvivor1984: so I take it you've done this before
AmzApprentice: yeah
AmzApprentice: u?
ryansurvivor1984: first timer here
AmzApprentice: o its real fun
ryansurvivor1984: I'm hoping so
AmzApprentice: it will
ryansurvivor1984: good stuff
AmzApprentice: so are we on the same tribe?
ryansurvivor1984: I think everyone is on one tribe to start out
ryansurvivor1984: then a big twist to throw us off
AmzApprentice: o ok
AmzApprentice: if we are on the same tribe you want to have an allience
ryansurvivor1984: Because I'm new at this I don't want to rush into things... but how about for the first three weeks we promise not to vote for one another that way if it works out that we are on the same team it will be like having an alliance without the strings
AmzApprentice: ok
ryansurvivor1984: then later in the game when we have a good feel for one another we can make an alliance
AmzApprentice: but even though we dont really have an allience, if you need any help, dont be afraid to ask.
ryansurvivor1984: thanks I really appreciate that especially because I'm new... I won't forget that
AmzApprentice: yep np

[Ryan]

missed the first two didn't realize I was supposed to save them Sorry

[Host Karen]

It's OK...the "meet and greets" really don't have much useful info for us anyway. Thanks for trying!

[Ryan]

purpleangel0710: hey whats up?
ryansurvivor1984: not much yourself
purpleangel0710: same
ryansurvivor1984: have a good night of work?
purpleangel0710: it was ok found some ice patches but not a biggie
purpleangel0710: so we are in the game right now?
ryansurvivor1984: yeah I think it kind of started officially last night so yeah
purpleangel0710: sweet i guess by the email we are all one tribe right now
ryansurvivor1984: yeah that's what I understood too
ryansurvivor1984: have you read the tree mail
purpleangel0710: yes
ryansurvivor1984: I kinda read a few episodes from the first season and their first challenge was that each person was given a part of a code and then it was up to you to get everyones part to solve it
purpleangel0710: that sounds fun that would explain the two day deadline
purpleangel0710: i havent had a chance to really read on the past seasons how are they?
ryansurvivor1984: like I said I've only really read a few episodes but they sound like fun sort of like you expect a regular survivor to go
purpleangel0710: cool it will be fun to read what others say about you
ryansurvivor1984: I know I wish I could do that now, it would be easier than trying to guess who to trust
purpleangel0710: yeah very true
purpleangel0710: so since we are all one tribe out of what the profiles say and how the people are in chat who do you think sould be the first to go?
ryansurvivor1984: It's hard to say I haven't really spoken to lots of people yet there are definately a few that from their profiles I could get rid of.
purpleangel0710: yeah me too
purpleangel0710: did you catch when the first tc is
ryansurvivor1984: but then again I read my profile and writing those things were true but I can't believe I wrote them
ryansurvivor1984: no I think they are every monday and thursday at 9:30 pm
purpleangel0710: yeah thats what i thought too i didnt think when i made that profile i would be in the game
ryansurvivor1984: me neither
purpleangel0710: oh so probly thurs then
ryansurvivor1984: yeah should be interesting 18 people voting
ryansurvivor1984: who knows who is going home
purpleangel0710: the biggest tc ive heard of
ryansurvivor1984: but maybe we'll be two tribes by then
purpleangel0710: lots of people to persuade
purpleangel0710: well it is indiviual imunity but thats what twists are for
ryansurvivor1984: It would be cool if the winner of immunity got to pick the tribes
purpleangel0710: thats what i was thinking too
purpleangel0710: so are we supposed to save all ours convos about the game and post them in a thread?
ryansurvivor1984: Yeah I realized that after I exited most of my convos last night.
purpleangel0710: me too
purpleangel0710: oops
ryansurvivor1984: the host karen said the introductory convos. aren't that important so not to worry
purpleangel0710: oh ok
ryansurvivor1984: I don't remember if I asked you this already but have you played one of these games before?
purpleangel0710: no i havent you?
ryansurvivor1984: nope
purpleangel0710: newbies :-)
ryansurvivor1984: yeah
ryansurvivor1984: Have you made any voting agreements with anyone yet?
purpleangel0710: no i havent
ryansurvivor1984: Do you want to?
purpleangel0710: sure
purpleangel0710: who's no. 1 on your list right now?
ryansurvivor1984: Like I said I'm not too sure who it is right now by wednesday I'll know
ryansurvivor1984: do you have anyone in mind
purpleangel0710: not yet i figure ill talk to everyone and by wensday ill know too
ryansurvivor1984: Instead of making an official alliance so soon in the game do you want to just make a pact not to vote for one another for three weeks and then form an alliance if the tribe situation allows it
purpleangel0710: yes thats exactly what i was thinking
ryansurvivor1984: that way we have eachothers backs and it will be harder to be blindsided
purpleangel0710: yeah and if we get split up then we hope we can make it
ryansurvivor1984: exactly
purpleangel0710: so you have my word that i will not type your name to vote for you
ryansurvivor1984: unless of course I get to the final 2... just kidding
ryansurvivor1984: and you have my word that I will not type your name either
purpleangel0710: sweet
purpleangel0710: final two here we come
ryansurvivor1984: that's awesome
ryansurvivor1984: I'm glad that there are other newbies here
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: i would shake on it but we cant
ryansurvivor1984: a virtual shake then
ryansurvivor1984: *shakes hand up and down in mid air*
purpleangel0710: *shakes hand up and down in mid air*
ryansurvivor1984: wow my first official survivor deal
purpleangel0710: hehe yeah me too
purpleangel0710: so when are you usually onlie?
purpleangel0710: online*
ryansurvivor1984: During the week I go to school so for the most part it will be the afternoon evening
ryansurvivor1984: I'm just heading out to go for breakfast but I will see you around
purpleangel0710: ok later

[Ryan]

WooleyBear2006: Hi Ryan, this is Steve from Survivor Holidays!
ryansurvivor1984: hey steve how are you
WooleyBear2006: I'm good. How are you?
ryansurvivor1984: I doing much better this morning
WooleyBear2006: Were you sick?
ryansurvivor1984: no just really tired
ryansurvivor1984: Have you played any games like this before?
WooleyBear2006: No, I haven't. I know some friends who have played though so I guess I am not a stranger to it all.
WooleyBear2006: How about you?
ryansurvivor1984: no my first time as well
WooleyBear2006: I am really looking forward to meeting new people. They all look like such nice individuals.
ryansurvivor1984: I agree I read over the profiles and everyone seems nice
WooleyBear2006: It's funny- I looked at my profile and saw that I had Ashlee Simpson as one of my favorite artists. But, after her latest two debacles, I don't listen to her anymore!
ryansurvivor1984: I was actually just reading your profile and I saw that and that was the question that came to mind that's too funny
WooleyBear2006: I sent in my application a WHILE ago so things have certainly changed
ryansurvivor1984: Me too, I sent it in before my birthday so now it looks like I can't count or remember my age
WooleyBear2006: I wish I would've written more but then again, people won't judge you solely on your profile.
ryansurvivor1984: yeah that's what I'm doing, getting to know everybody before I make any concrete judgements

[Ryan]

ryansurvivor1984: hello again
purpleangel0710: hey whats up?
ryansurvivor1984: not much i had a chance to speak to a few more survivors in a chat room and you can just tell that the scheming is starting
ryansurvivor1984: everyon still seems very nice though
purpleangel0710: yeah for now lol
ryansurvivor1984: I know
purpleangel0710: little do they know we have the ultimate plan hahaha lol
ryansurvivor1984: yeah with any luck we will go unnoticed for the first while and then when the alliance kicks in they will never see us coming
purpleangel0710: nope we should try to keep it on the down low for as long as possible so they wont try to seperate us
ryansurvivor1984: I agree the second they realize we are even talking to one another we'll have huge targets on our backs
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: that would suck
ryansurvivor1984: Okay I could be wrong but I like to go with my instincts and it's killing me not to speak about the game
ryansurvivor1984: so how about anything said in these chats stay in these chats as part of the pact
purpleangel0710: yes my thoughts exactly
purpleangel0710: how are they going to know
ryansurvivor1984: good. Again I may shoot myself in the foot but I get a good vibe from you
purpleangel0710: you dont have to worrie ive got your back
ryansurvivor1984: so honestly who do you want to get rid of first based on profiles or convos.
purpleangel0710: steven
ryansurvivor1984: I was thinking that too
purpleangel0710: he is 14 first of all
ryansurvivor1984: but then I thought that he is at a disadvantage so he would be an easy target later on too
purpleangel0710: i tink
purpleangel0710: yes very true
ryansurvivor1984: I think that we should get rid of one of the girls
ryansurvivor1984: I'm not sexist but it's the only visible line that I can see to divide the teams
purpleangel0710: yes very true whitch one you have on mind?
ryansurvivor1984: I'm not too sure I've only met like 3 of them
ryansurvivor1984: However the fact that the others haven't made an effort to meet the others could be an easy way to target them
purpleangel0710: yes ive only had one other person talk to me first
ryansurvivor1984: make that four girls
ryansurvivor1984: what do you mean
purpleangel0710: not sure disregard the remark lol
ryansurvivor1984: okay so which girl do you think
ryansurvivor1984: If thats the direction you want to take
purpleangel0710: one sec
ryansurvivor1984: k
purpleangel0710: well jamie hasnt even talked to me yet seems like she i ignoring me might ust be me though
purpleangel0710: ummm
ryansurvivor1984: have you talked any strategy with the other players, see what they were thinking about who to vote out?
purpleangel0710: not yet there al still in the getting to know you stage seems like
purpleangel0710: lisa seems to be one of the under the radar types for me for some reson
ryansurvivor1984: I haven't spoken to her yet but I see what you mean.
ryansurvivor1984: I have a volleyball game in a half an hour but I will be back in about 3-4 hours if you want to chat
purpleangel0710: ok cool see ya then
ryansurvivor1984: for now I'm going to go and talk in the chatroom for a few mins. so it appears as though I am participating
ryansurvivor1984: see ya
purpleangel0710: me too

[Ryan]

ryansurvivor1984: hello Annette
AML6349: Hey Ryan!
ryansurvivor1984: How are you doing?
AML6349: Not bad,yourself?
ryansurvivor1984: I'm doing pretty good, getting excited about this game I'm a newbie
AML6349: Are ya? No previous games under your belt, eh?
ryansurvivor1984: nope I'm doing my best to learn though
AML6349: I've been in tooooo many... since 2001.
ryansurvivor1984: so you're an old pro cool
AML6349: Yet I've never won a game - go figure.
ryansurvivor1984: this could be your season who knows
AML6349: That'd be pretty cool! My main goal, in any game, is to make the jury and make some friends - anything after that is just luxury.
ryansurvivor1984: that's what I said coming into my first game too, cause if you make the jury at least you are still involved till the end
AML6349: Yep - and that's the best feeling.
AML6349: So where are you from? What do you do?
ryansurvivor1984: I live in Saskatchewan and I am a University student and I also work at a gas station
AML6349: Wow, Canada... I'm jealous. Your country is taking a looooong time letting me in.
ryansurvivor1984: sorry, I'll see what I can do...lol
AML6349: My husband is Canadian - born & raised in Ontario, and we're in the process of getting me permanent residence there. Our first step was getting our daughter her citizenship certificate (born to a canadian parent gives her dual citizenship, just need the paperwork to prove it). They told me it would take 4 - 6 months but a friend of mine did the same for her son, and it took 16 months.
ryansurvivor1984: Yeah sounds like our "organized" government... once you got your citizenship where were you planning on moving
AML6349: Somewhere in Ontario - all his family is there.
AML6349: Depends on where he can get a job (he's had a few offers so far).
ryansurvivor1984: that's good, I've only been to Ontario a couple of times
AML6349: We've been waiting on Shanley's (daughter) certificate for 6 months now... I had hoped to be over there by the end of 2005 but it's not looking good.
ryansurvivor1984: but I never really left the airport so it doesn't really count
AML6349: I haven't been to Saskatchewan.
ryansurvivor1984: It's not that big of a loss... don't get me wrong I love Saskatchewan but it's kinda boring
AML6349: Same with Michigan.
AML6349: Afk a sec! I have to get my laundry.

[Ryan]

ryansurvivor1984: hello ellie
Love Struck Muse: Hey Ryan! Nice to meet you!
ryansurvivor1984: it's good to finally meet you to
Love Struck Muse: You too, how are you?
ryansurvivor1984: love the Napolean Dynamite picture I just watched that movie last night
ryansurvivor1984: I'm doing good
ryansurvivor1984: how about you
Love Struck Muse: LOL, did you like it?
Love Struck Muse: I'm good... have a bit of a headache though.
ryansurvivor1984: it had no plot but I laughed the entire time it was great
ryansurvivor1984: whoa is december first really your birthday
Love Struck Muse: Yes!
Love Struck Muse: Is it your birthday?
ryansurvivor1984: yeah i just checked out your profile
Love Struck Muse: Wow, weird!!
ryansurvivor1984: that is weird... what are the odds
Love Struck Muse: That's cool... maybe it was meant to be! lol
ryansurvivor1984: well now after seeing the Napolean thing it must be a sign
ryansurvivor1984: cause if i had seen it yesterday it wouldn't have meant anything... to creepy
Love Struck Muse: You aren't from New Hampshire are you? lol Cause that would be even more weird.
ryansurvivor1984: No I'm from Saskatchewan sorry
Love Struck Muse: Ah, damn... well I'll forgive you this time. ;-) I love Canada... never been there though :-\
ryansurvivor1984: Another thing we have in common cause I love the states, I've been there a couple of times
ryansurvivor1984: so is this your first time playing a game like this
Love Struck Muse: Yes... I'm in a big brother game though. First time Survivor! You?
ryansurvivor1984: my first survivor or anything of the sort
Love Struck Muse: Oh wow, I hear we have a lot of new people.!
Love Struck Muse: lol oops... no period*
ryansurvivor1984: yeah thats good it will be good for everyone to experience for the first time
Love Struck Muse: I hope so. I think one bad with them and you could be turned off from them forever. So hopefully that doesn't happen.
ryansurvivor1984: have you had a chance to talk to lots of the others
Love Struck Muse: Not really... just you and three others :-\
Love Struck Muse: I feel behind! lol
Love Struck Muse: What about you?
ryansurvivor1984: I had a chance to talk to most of them the ones that have been on anyways
Love Struck Muse: Wow, is everyone really nice?
Love Struck Muse: The four I've talked to so far are great... you're included in that. lol
ryansurvivor1984: I haven't had any problems yet
ryansurvivor1984: yippee for me
ryansurvivor1984: you are included in the great people I've talked to as well
Love Struck Muse: Thanks! lol How old are you, Ryan?
ryansurvivor1984: I'm 20, my profile says 19 because I filled it out back in November and didn't think to make the change oops
Love Struck Muse: Oh cool.. I'm 18. I'm glad there's someone around my age. It seems like everyone is older or really young... well that one person. lol
ryansurvivor1984: there are a few of us between 17-23
Love Struck Muse: Yes, it's awesome... I like the diversity though.
ryansurvivor1984: yeah everyone seems really interesting
Love Struck Muse: Oh cool... I can't wait to talk more. Do you think we'll ever be broken in to tribes
ryansurvivor1984: probably after the first challenge but who knows
Love Struck Muse: Hmm I don't know what to expect. It really through me for a loop.
ryansurvivor1984: Yeah cause what kind of strategy do you apply when you need to ensure that 9 people don't vote for you?
ryansurvivor1984: You can't make an alliance and say I promise that I won't vote for the 9 of you, cause what happens if they all end up in your tribe later
Love Struck Muse: True... It would be so complicated... a vote with 18 people. lol
ryansurvivor1984: ... and we have a six-way tie...
Love Struck Muse: lmao
Love Struck Muse: Or a vote of 17-1
ryansurvivor1984: could imagine what that would do to a persons self esteem
ryansurvivor1984: sorry but out of 18 people you are the least favorite of everyone else...
Love Struck Muse: LOL, I know... nothing personal but EVERYONE decided to vote for you :-\ that would be hard to take
ryansurvivor1984: a total hang your head moment
Love Struck Muse: Oh definitely. I have an HoH challenge. Can I IM you when I'm done?
ryansurvivor1984: for sure good luck and of course WIN
Love Struck Muse: Thanks! I'll try

[Ryan]

AML6349: Back
ryansurvivor1984: hey
AML6349: What's your major, btw?
ryansurvivor1984: I'm entering the field of education with a math major and a bio minor
ryansurvivor1984: what do you do
AML6349: Cool - I got 3 out of 4 years done in a education Bachelor's myself. I ended up stopping because it just wasn't what I wanted to do, my interests changed. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom of a 2 year old little girl.
ryansurvivor1984: that's awesome... I hope to have a family some day
AML6349: I always used to hear 'having kids will change your life' and 'it's hard but it's worth it' and both are very true.
ryansurvivor1984: that's good to know
AML6349: Did you have nice holidays?
ryansurvivor1984: yeah saw the family how was your holidays
AML6349: Not bad - hectic.
ryansurvivor1984: how many people usually make the jury in these types of games do you know
AML6349: Ummm, usually 9, just like the show.
ryansurvivor1984: well that's not that bad
AML6349: That's still at least 9 TCs to survive through!
ryansurvivor1984: that on the other hand does make me a little nervous
AML6349: I don't think you have much to worry about - you're a cool guy.
ryansurvivor1984: thanks, your real easy to talk to as well so at the very worst we should see eachother on the jury, with any luck
AML6349: So far everyone's very cool but there's still some people I haven't talked to yet.
ryansurvivor1984: I know thats the problem from the people that I've talked to there hasn't been anyone who stands out as someone to get rid of
AML6349: At this point, I'd have to do it based on how they act when I talked to them... but we still have some time.
ryansurvivor1984: luckily, that's what I am basing mine on too, as for the ones who I haven't talked to yet I'll have to go based on their profiles I guess.
AML6349: We probably have a few days before we have to worry about voting anyone out.
ryansurvivor1984: that's good have some more time for conversations
AML6349: Yep!
AML6349: Can under underestimate the value of getting to know people.
ryansurvivor1984: I'm actually enjoying meeting all these new people
AML6349: Me too - lots of cool people. I love the fact that you're Canadian - I'm the biggest Canadian Wannabe you're bound to meet. lol
ryansurvivor1984: good at least I'm not alone
ryansurvivor1984: I was worried when I noticed that everyone was American but nobody has even mentioned it which is cool that everyone isn't ganging up on me
AML6349: Ohhh, no way - no one's gonna gang up on you. I'll back you up, my friend.
AML6349: I'll tell 'em all to piss off.
ryansurvivor1984: thanx my fellow honorary Canadian
AML6349: *bows* Thank you for the title!
ryansurvivor1984: no problem
ryansurvivor1984: thanx for telling 'em to piss off ...lol
AML6349: I'm mean when I have to be - lol. I stick up for people.
ryansurvivor1984: oh I know, like I said nobody seems to care so that's great
AML6349: I'm glad.
AML6349: I just noticed that you & Ellie have the same birthday.
ryansurvivor1984: i know we chatted earlier it was kind of weird
ryansurvivor1984: what are the odds
AML6349: Crazy!

[Ryan]

JenneUCSC: nice, last time i went i faked a knee injury (leg brace and all) so we could cut in lines. and snuch in as well. i liked to be a bad girl in my teengage days
ryansurvivor1984: that's funny it's "the happiest place on earth" the only place where pushing and faking injuries are allowed
ryansurvivor1984: I wish I would have thought about the leg injury could have saved a bundle of time
JenneUCSC: he he. tricks of the trade my dear.
ryansurvivor1984: I was always the lame rule follower growing up... boring
JenneUCSC: i was a good kid till i hit about 16. then i had my eyes set on being baaaaad just for baaaaad's sake
ryansurvivor1984: I gotcha you sound a lot like my sister when she was about that age
JenneUCSC: yah but i cleaned up by my 20s.now im kinda boring
ryansurvivor1984: Well I'm still boring so welcome to the club
ryansurvivor1984: ... I am the president, but there is an opening at the vice-president position cause he got a life... lol
JenneUCSC: lmao
JenneUCSC: well maybe im not that far gone
JenneUCSC: :-P
JenneUCSC: did i lose you?
ryansurvivor1984: oh no sorry just making myself something to eat
ryansurvivor1984: don't worry I don't actually have a club...
ryansurvivor1984: it's more of an organization...lol
JenneUCSC: he he. i wont tell anyone. secret is safe with me
JenneUCSC: :-)

JenneUCSC: you are most welcome! im sposed to be folding laundry but i am being baaaad. see how exciting my life is now?
ryansurvivor1984: you are a rebel
JenneUCSC: i hear this all the time
ryansurvivor1984: so have you played any games like this before
JenneUCSC: i played once before
JenneUCSC: to be honest it was 2yrs ago and i was so scarred afterwards i never thought i would play again
JenneUCSC: but a friend played in the first holidays and urged me to apply. and i cant say no to him so i did and here i am.
JenneUCSC: im really freaked out by the idea of doin this again though
ryansurvivor1984: that's too bad what happened the first time that it was so bad?
JenneUCSC: we will have to save it for another time. i really need to sign off so i can get some work done. im way behind. i will try to be back on as soon as possible though. it was a pleasure meeting you ryan. i look forward to talkn some more later. but work is important as much as i dont want it to be
JenneUCSC: bye hon. take care

OkieChk1978: how is it going
ryansurvivor1984: great I'm done school for the day
ryansurvivor1984: u
OkieChk1978: just got off work
ryansurvivor1984: so you in the same state of mind as me then
OkieChk1978: yeah I am
OkieChk1978: tired lol
ryansurvivor1984: the story of my life
OkieChk1978: that makes 2 of us
ryansurvivor1984: so you ready for tonights challenge
OkieChk1978: as ready as i can
OkieChk1978: I hope its not physical lol
ryansurvivor1984: I know, I don't think that physically I'm up to par.
OkieChk1978: me neither
ryansurvivor1984: The only thing more fun than being in this game and meeting new people is getting a lame laugh by pretending that your actually on a tropical island
ryansurvivor1984: and when your tired even more so
OkieChk1978: lol i agree
ryansurvivor1984: do you know when the first tc is?
OkieChk1978: thursday nite
OkieChk1978: which SO stinks.
ryansurvivor1984: that's soon
ryansurvivor1984: I agree about the stinkines
OkieChk1978: yeah i wont ever be able to make thursday's tc's hardly
OkieChk1978: occasionally i may be able to but i work late those nights and have to come home and get reports ready for work the next day.
ryansurvivor1984: well at least they've set it up so that we don't actually have to be there
OkieChk1978: yeah they are live though
ryansurvivor1984: Don't worry if someone asks you a question during the tc I'll say Stephanie wishes to have say No Comment
ryansurvivor1984: I've got you covered
OkieChk1978: well thank you. i got you covered too
ryansurvivor1984: thanks
OkieChk1978: ;-) no problem
OkieChk1978: I think you're really nice and sweet
ryansurvivor1984: Thank-you I think that you are a very comforting person to chat with
OkieChk1978: well Thank you
OkieChk1978: I mean whats the point of these games if it isn't to be yourslef and make friends you know?
ryansurvivor1984: I feel the same way if I wanted to pretend to be someone I'm not I would go on one of the online dating services. j/k
OkieChk1978: lol
OkieChk1978: thats pretty true.
OkieChk1978: My friend Stephanie met someone online and married him 6 weeks later. She filed for Divorce November 30th after only 1 yr and a laf
ryansurvivor1984: I would never have the guts to do that
OkieChk1978: me either
OkieChk1978: :-(
OkieChk1978: so do you have a girlfriend?
ryansurvivor1984: nope single at the moment
ryansurvivor1984: what is your status
OkieChk1978: I am dating someone
OkieChk1978: :-)
ryansurvivor1984: well that's good has it been a long term thing or just recently
OkieChk1978: 2 years
ryansurvivor1984: good for you
OkieChk1978: I honestly think we'll get married but i'm not rushing it at all. I mean all will happen in right timing you know? I'm not in a hurry to get married because if he is the love of my life then he'll be there as long as i need him.
ryansurvivor1984: that's how I feel about that stuff as well
ryansurvivor1984: my sister got married this summer at the age of 21
ryansurvivor1984: and my parents who are still together knew eachother 6 weeks so that's the only theory to go by, is it will happen when it's supposed to
OkieChk1978: yeah
ryansurvivor1984: but 6 weeks is to quick for me even if it is in good time
OkieChk1978: Love is very tricky.....All is fair in love and war you know?
ryansurvivor1984: did you read my profile
OkieChk1978: Yeah I agree. That happened with my friend and he was deceitful with his life status as was she
OkieChk1978: yeah i did
ryansurvivor1984: ok I thought that you coincedently said that
OkieChk1978: well i do live by that
ryansurvivor1984: that's crazy, I'm finding more and more that I have lots in common with everyone
OkieChk1978: me too
OkieChk1978: who do you think is some of your favorites so far?
ryansurvivor1984: well you of course... but I'm really getting allow great with everyone so voting will be very hard
ryansurvivor1984: how about you
OkieChk1978: i like everyone that i've talked to. Lisa seems a little pre occupied but i love her to death. I haven't talked to Tony at all so other than that no complaints
ryansurvivor1984: I haven't spoken to Tony yet either
OkieChk1978: I dont think many people have
ryansurvivor1984: that's too bad
OkieChk1978: yeah
OkieChk1978: he looks cool
ryansurvivor1984: yeah
OkieChk1978: do you go to church
ryansurvivor1984: I try my best to
ryansurvivor1984: you
OkieChk1978: Yeah i do. I'm babtist
ryansurvivor1984: I'm United
OkieChk1978: Pentecostal? Methodist?
ryansurvivor1984: pentecostal, but I kind of combine religions if you know what I mean
OkieChk1978: yeah
ryansurvivor1984: I like my religion but first and foremost more important than any religion I think you need to love thy brother
ryansurvivor1984: or sister (I didn't forget about you
OkieChk1978: lol
OkieChk1978: I agree with you
OkieChk1978: :-)
ryansurvivor1984: :-)
ryansurvivor1984: oh that's how you do that... I was just guessing
ryansurvivor1984: you learn something new every day
OkieChk1978: Absolutley
ryansurvivor1984: :s
ryansurvivor1984: oh that one doesn't work hehehe
ryansurvivor1984: Never mind I'm such a geek I found the actual place where the happy faces are.
OkieChk1978: lol
ryansurvivor1984: another question... how do you set your status to away?
ryansurvivor1984: never mind I figured it out
OkieChk1978: oh sorry i didn't know you im'd me
OkieChk1978: it didn't moo at me
ryansurvivor1984: yours moo's mine just keeps beeping... beep...beep
OkieChk1978: lol
ryansurvivor1984: your birthday is december 10th
ryansurvivor1984: don't make me moo at you...lol
OkieChk1978: i'm used to it.......I live in Oklahoma if you dont moo here your considered an outsider l,ol
ryansurvivor1984: haha
ryansurvivor1984: because december 10th is the official day of the combover/side-ponytail
ryansurvivor1984: don't ask I invented it when I was in highschool and am determined to make it known world wide
ryansurvivor1984: and no I'm not crazy in case your wondering
OkieChk1978: lol okay gotchya
ryansurvivor1984: so when do people normally start talking strategy in these games?
OkieChk1978: heck if i know lol...all my games are just starting. i had my first challenge last night
OkieChk1978: i guess whenever they want
ryansurvivor1984: did you win
OkieChk1978: dont know until 7 tonight
ryansurvivor1984: that's what I'll base it on then I'll wait for someone to approach me it'll be easier
OkieChk1978: yeah i asked one person for an alliance today in Sri Lanka and it wasn't really an alliance. I just really like them alot and it means alot to me that they are there so we're gonna stick together for now to make our tribe stronger
ryansurvivor1984: that's cool
OkieChk1978: but i'm not one to form alliances, i do as i feel in my heart
OkieChk1978: if someone asks me i'll go with it if i feel like thats a good thing but i personally wouldn't ask people for one
ryansurvivor1984: that's a good way to play, true to your hear
ryansurvivor1984: t
OkieChk1978: Absolutley. If I can't stay true to my heart in an online game then you know i just wouldnt feel right about that
ryansurvivor1984: this early in the game I'm not sure if I would necessarily want to form a profound alliance
ryansurvivor1984: I would rather make a promise to not vote for someone for a given time, so that I can get to know the real them before hand
OkieChk1978: Absolutley
OkieChk1978: do you smell any fakes at this point?
ryansurvivor1984: It's tough to tell, because anyone can be fake and happy to your face, but unlike an island you can't accidently stumble upon a conversation
OkieChk1978: yeah i know
OkieChk1978: thats what i figure will be the hardest part of the game is knowing if someone is lying to you
ryansurvivor1984: yup how bout you do get any bad feelings towards anyone
OkieChk1978: nope not yet
ryansurvivor1984: So Steph... this is me being serious for a sec, do you want to make a pact not to vote against one another for the first two weeks? It'll give both of us a little security.
OkieChk1978: I would be willing to that with you Ryan!!
OkieChk1978: You seem to be someone i can put my loyalty into
ryansurvivor1984: It made me so nervous asking you that... but I do have trust in you, you seem like a good person who would stick to their word
OkieChk1978: I most ceartinly will!! I hope we end up on the same tribe if we have tribes
ryansurvivor1984: yeah that would be cool
OkieChk1978: it's the only way this pact can really work if you know what i mean
ryansurvivor1984: unless we stay individual for a while
OkieChk1978: yeah
ryansurvivor1984: hopefully we break into tribes tonight
OkieChk1978: I hope so too
OkieChk1978: is there anyone else you asked for this pact or think you can trust for that matter?
ryansurvivor1984: I haven't approached anybody about strategy because I wasn't sure how they would react but I felt comfortable with you
OkieChk1978: cool
ryansurvivor1984: I do feel there are some people that I would trust
OkieChk1978: i feel comfortable with you also
ryansurvivor1984: that's good to hear
ryansurvivor1984: have you asked anybody else you can trust for protection cause I could protect them, to protect you
OkieChk1978: I haven't asked anybody either
ryansurvivor1984: hopefully nobody has done very much plotting yet
OkieChk1978: i doubt it, if they have then i've totally misread them as a person
ryansurvivor1984: me too
ryansurvivor1984: I just hope that things stay as friendly as they have been around here
OkieChk1978: personally me too but i'm about 99% sure it wont
ryansurvivor1984: the second someone is voted out I'm sure it's going to get real tense
OkieChk1978: yeah
OkieChk1978: I g2g right quick
OkieChk1978: bb in a few

[Ryan]

purpleangel0710: hey ryan hows it going?
ryansurvivor1984: good good
purpleangel0710: you ready for the ic :-)
ryansurvivor1984: as ready as can be I guess you?
purpleangel0710: same
purpleangel0710: anyone talked stratigey to you yet?
ryansurvivor1984: Umm... not directly but if we needed the votes there are a few that I feel comfortable asking for help from
ryansurvivor1984: how about you
purpleangel0710: same i have a couple didnt want to ask till i talked to you
ryansurvivor1984: I had a gut feeling and figured that if I didn't do anything by thurs. it would be too late
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: um who were you thinking of including?
ryansurvivor1984: so have you heard anything supicious
ryansurvivor1984: from the other survivors
purpleangel0710: nope not at all everytime i try to talk more about the game most of them change the subject
ryansurvivor1984: depending who we were voting for I think that Steph or Ellie would back us...
ryansurvivor1984: One thing I have been trying to keep tabs on is who knows who or who chats alot
ryansurvivor1984: I heard that Steph and Jamie both know Lisa from other games, but I just talked to Lisa and she mentioned how she doesn't know anyone in the cast.
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: hmmm
purpleangel0710: someone spilled the beans :-)
ryansurvivor1984: I know I found that kind of amusing
purpleangel0710: i think we could get lucus to vote with us and possibly jamie
ryansurvivor1984: see and I have found Jamie to be distant when ever I try to chat with her
ryansurvivor1984: It could be that she was just really busy as I think she was
purpleangel0710: she didnt get the email untill last night so i think she was just trying to catch up she seemed distant to me too but this morning she was really talkative
ryansurvivor1984: the only problem with bringing in both steph and jamie is that they both know lisa and to me I think that the earlier we get rid of alliances the easier it will be to sway votes the way we need to
ryansurvivor1984: that is of course if we can keep ours pact a secret
purpleangel0710: yes very true
purpleangel0710: steve seems easy to persuade
purpleangel0710: he wants to prove himself and not be voted off right away
ryansurvivor1984: mind you if we each brought in 2 people you bringing in jamie and lucus and me ellie and steph then towards the end we would still be able to get ride of people
purpleangel0710: yes
purpleangel0710: well if they know lisa they might not want to get rid of her and like you said getting rid of potentual alliences right away will help in the long run
ryansurvivor1984: I know
ryansurvivor1984: this whole strategy thing will be a lot easier once were down to less people
ryansurvivor1984: or in tribes at least
purpleangel0710: yes very
purpleangel0710: hope the winner of immunity gets to choose thier tribe
ryansurvivor1984: that would be good
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: are you on est?
ryansurvivor1984: no central
purpleangel0710: oh ok what time is it there now?
ryansurvivor1984: 4:25
ryansurvivor1984: u
purpleangel0710: 2:25
purpleangel0710: pst
ryansurvivor1984: is that what time the hosts will be using
purpleangel0710: they will be using est which is 1 hour ahead of you
ryansurvivor1984: k thanx
ryansurvivor1984: so our first challenge is less than 2 hours away
purpleangel0710: np so the ic will be posted at 6:30 for you
purpleangel0710: yes
ryansurvivor1984: ok got to start getting in the win mode...lol
purpleangel0710: lol yeah me too :-)
ryansurvivor1984: so if it is a challenge where we try to help eachother who do you think should win to best suit our needs
ryansurvivor1984: personally I think that if either of us won it would put huge targets on our backs especially if we had to pick a tribe
purpleangel0710: yes very true
purpleangel0710: i guess anyone could win it dont really matter
ryansurvivor1984: but if they make the teams is there anyone that you think would put both us on one team?
purpleangel0710: it would put a target on thier back and keep the focus on them and not us
ryansurvivor1984: good point
purpleangel0710: without telling them about our allience not really
ryansurvivor1984: so the goal for this game is to help others win...
ryansurvivor1984: yeah it could help bring light to some alliances
purpleangel0710: yeah
ryansurvivor1984: personally I would prefer it if Jamie, Steph and Lisa didn't win it
purpleangel0710: yes cause they could have some sort of allience already
ryansurvivor1984: because I think Steph may want me on her team and if that's the case I would be on a team with an alliance already formed
purpleangel0710: that could be a good thing as long as they dont mention my name for thier boot list
ryansurvivor1984: perhaps if we gave it to somebody like Taylor or Kyle, they've been kind of close and I don't see them putting me on their team, have you had a chance to talk to either of them
purpleangel0710: briefly not enouf to get any info about thier game
ryansurvivor1984: so maybe they would put both of us on their opposing team
ryansurvivor1984: that reminds me I should be able to rely on annette for a vote
purpleangel0710: ok then we have about 5 other people that we could possibly rely on
purpleangel0710: thats a good number even if its a 20 person tc
ryansurvivor1984: and too if someone like Tony doesn't ever come online it gives us a scapegoat
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: mabie it would be good for one of us to win imunity it would only be the first imunity and 1 in a row doesnt always mean a strong player that way we dont have to worrie about trusting the picking order to someone else
ryansurvivor1984: I know I'm just trying to figure out how to divide the teams without hurting feelings
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: well we could put lisa jamie and steph, kyle and taylor on seperate teams or we could put them on the same team and let them battle it out could be a good thing or could be a bad thing
purpleangel0710: depending on if they team up
ryansurvivor1984: It could be one way of eliminating alliances, unless they form an alliance amongst the 5 of them
purpleangel0710: yep the only problem but if you are able to get in on steph lisa and jamies alliance you can persuade them to get rid of tylor and kyle
ryansurvivor1984: or vice versa if we went with the boys
ryansurvivor1984: that way when it was down to the final four it would be 2 on 2
purpleangel0710: yes true and they are a smaller number
ryansurvivor1984: but with taylor and kyle we need to watch out for ashlee
purpleangel0710: speaking of kyle he just sighned in
ryansurvivor1984: I just noticed that
purpleangel0710: and im talking to him
ryansurvivor1984: did you approach him
purpleangel0710: not yet
purpleangel0710: want me to?
ryansurvivor1984: don't
purpleangel0710: k i wont
ryansurvivor1984: wait until after we know who has won the challenge
purpleangel0710: not till later when we are more sure
ryansurvivor1984: yeah
purpleangel0710: wb
purpleangel0710: lol
ryansurvivor1984: I just found out how to set my AIM to away I'm pretty proud
purpleangel0710: lol *claps*
ryansurvivor1984: *bows* thank you thank you
purpleangel0710: :-)
purpleangel0710: and the people that are already doing online survivors right now will go quick too because they wont be able to focus
ryansurvivor1984: good point
purpleangel0710: right now that i know of jamie is in two other games and kyle is in one other one not sure of anyone else
ryansurvivor1984: steph is in on four
purpleangel0710: wow how do they do it
ryansurvivor1984: no clue
ryansurvivor1984: I'm confuseled with just one
purpleangel0710: me too so many people but i guess if they can do it more power to them
ryansurvivor1984: yup, and it's our duty to vote them off so they don't need to be involved in so many games lol
purpleangel0710: yeah releave them of the stress
ryansurvivor1984: I've got Steph talking a little strategy
ryansurvivor1984: and you know what she has never played a game before so she knows lisa from outside the games
purpleangel0710: thats odd mabie she read about one of lisas games
ryansurvivor1984: no this is more than that I'm pretty sure, so maybe lisa going would be the best plan
purpleangel0710: yeah
purpleangel0710: what kind of stratigy is she talking about
ryansurvivor1984: I'm just asking her when people normally start talking their strategies
purpleangel0710: oh ok
ryansurvivor1984: she said she is unsure this is all new to her and then she said that she likes more to vote from the heart than to vote with an alliance
purpleangel0710: oic
ryansurvivor1984: Good news I asked her if she wanted to not vote for one another for the first 2 weeks and she agreed so the good news is that now if the girls try to turn on me she has me protected and if they turn on you steph will ask for my vote and I can persuade them into voting against someone else.
ryansurvivor1984: so add 2 more votes not coming our way hopefully
purpleangel0710: sweet
ryansurvivor1984: I know
ryansurvivor1984: and too I won't be tied into any long alliance unless we need to be later
ryansurvivor1984: I'm going to tell her that she is the only one I've asked okay
purpleangel0710: okay that would be great
purpleangel0710: ok i have to run and get some dinner really quickly ill be back for the ic
ryansurvivor1984: see you then
purpleangel0710: k later
