ryansurvivor1984: hey
LucasHorowitz: hey there
ryansurvivor1984: hows it going
LucasHorowitz: fine I guess. been busy the last couple of days
ryansurvivor1984: yeah me too exam and what not
LucasHorowitz: hows that going?
ryansurvivor1984: not too bad actually
LucasHorowitz: good to hear!
ryansurvivor1984: another tc again tonight
ryansurvivor1984: that bites
ryansurvivor1984: just when we get down to the block of 6 we have to vote again
LucasHorowitz: I know
LucasHorowitz: not much we can do though, I guess
ryansurvivor1984: nobody has been around much either so i have no idea what everyone is thinking
LucasHorowitz: what have *you* been thinking?
ryansurvivor1984: to me I try to vote on performance
ryansurvivor1984: if someone costs us the challenge or didn't participate as much as everyone else than i would think about their name down
ryansurvivor1984: with this challenge though its hard to know who worked on it
ryansurvivor1984: what have you been thinking?
LucasHorowitz: dunno...if I base it on performance...everyone says they did
ryansurvivor1984: yeah i know
LucasHorowitz: hard to say who makes us stronger for the next one
ryansurvivor1984: based on past performances I think that kyle taylor and you have all been strong
LucasHorowitz: I think Kyle has been our MVP much of our time together
LucasHorowitz: and Taylor is very strong
ryansurvivor1984: rami lately hasn't been as active but he did help early on and steve too started out strong but hasn't been around lately
ryansurvivor1984: I agree
LucasHorowitz: so you're thinking them then?
ryansurvivor1984: basing it on performance and activeness I'd say yeah
ryansurvivor1984: the only thing that makes me lean one way is that voting block that you me and rami formed early in the game
ryansurvivor1984: i don't like having to go against my word unless someone is trying to play me
LucasHorowitz: I agree
ryansurvivor1984: and I don't see rami being capable of that
ryansurvivor1984: but those are the two that I've narrowed it down to
LucasHorowitz: sounds fair enough
ryansurvivor1984: what about you?
LucasHorowitz: haven't really talked to anyone but you. no idea what anyone is thinking
LucasHorowitz: but your logic is sound
ryansurvivor1984: I don't know this is tougher than any of our previous tc's
ryansurvivor1984: you'd think that with practice it would get easier
ryansurvivor1984: lol
LucasHorowitz: its never been easy for me
LucasHorowitz: lol
ryansurvivor1984: i think that we definately need to win the next one cause this whole losing thing has got to stop
LucasHorowitz: I agree
LucasHorowitz: we have to go in to the merge with even numbers to have a chance
ryansurvivor1984: yeah the girls seem too tight to swing any vote our way
LucasHorowitz: they've been more united, I think, so I am scared to face them shorthanded
ryansurvivor1984: yeah definately
LucasHorowitz: i wish the others would show up
ryansurvivor1984: no doubt
ryansurvivor1984: i would like to hear their input too
ryansurvivor1984: so that everyone is sorta on the same page tonight
LucasHorowitz: thats always a plus
ryansurvivor1984: i gtg finish studying let me know if you find anything out
LucasHorowitz: I will asap
LucasHorowitz: ttyl
ryansurvivor1984: bye

ryansurvivor1984: hey steve
WooleyBear2006: hi
ryansurvivor1984: hows it going
WooleyBear2006: knocked off
ryansurvivor1984: done school for the day?
ryansurvivor1984: i see
WooleyBear2006: knocked off- I will get on when it won't knock me off
ryansurvivor1984: k i'll talk to you later
WooleyBear2006: I will stay on for a few and see if I can stay on
ryansurvivor1984: k so you ready for tonights tc
WooleyBear2006: yea, I guess so- a little nervous
ryansurvivor1984: this one is sooo tough cause one of the block of 6 is going
WooleyBear2006: what did the girls do to vote so much?
ryansurvivor1984: i wish i knew what everyone was thinking
ryansurvivor1984: I have no clue but i'd like to know cause they killed us in the challenge
WooleyBear2006: I don't think 6 people could do that much damage in that short of time
WooleyBear2006: we never really had a chance
ryansurvivor1984: yeah that's for sure
ryansurvivor1984: not after the first hour or two
WooleyBear2006: no, certainly not
ryansurvivor1984: have you thought about how your going to vote tonight?
WooleyBear2006: not really- I was hoping to talk to everyone and see where the majority was leaning
ryansurvivor1984: yeah me too
ryansurvivor1984: I have talked to a couple already
ryansurvivor1984: and got two different answers
ryansurvivor1984: so it seems like it will be another split amongst the guys
WooleyBear2006: I hope I am not one but I have heard my name has been brought it, maybe not though
WooleyBear2006: up*
ryansurvivor1984: I heard it earlier today to be honest with you
ryansurvivor1984: but i don't believe that the person actually plans to vote for you I think he was just trying to put ideas in my head
WooleyBear2006: at this point, there isn't much i can do
ryansurvivor1984: but your safe as far I go
ryansurvivor1984: i know i just get to sit here and hope my name doesn't come up, which I'm sure it will...
WooleyBear2006: I highly doubt it because I haven't head your name come up yet
WooleyBear2006: heard*
ryansurvivor1984: it will i'm sure, that's one thing about an ununified tribe you don't know who will be getting voted out
ryansurvivor1984: keeps things interesting i guess
WooleyBear2006: well, this tribe made a mistake in the beginning
WooleyBear2006: players formed too many alliances early
ryansurvivor1984: you mean getting rid of mitch
ryansurvivor1984: o i see
WooleyBear2006: the hierarchy was formed way too early instead of focusing on challenges
ryansurvivor1984: i tried to avoid that commiting myself to the voting block it was much simpler
ryansurvivor1984: i agree if everyone would put half the effort they put into their strategies into the challenges we still would be undefeated lol
WooleyBear2006: lol
WooleyBear2006: u are probably right
WooleyBear2006: but as Gracie pointed out, everyone showed up after the challenge was over
WooleyBear2006: where was everyone before then?
ryansurvivor1984: yup
ryansurvivor1984: i was at school until 6 est and I still managed to do it during all of my breaks and during my computer lab
ryansurvivor1984: i even stayed up late to make up for the time i would be at school for
WooleyBear2006: my school blocks all those sites so it was impossible for me to get from 8 AM to 4 PM that day
WooleyBear2006: to get on*
ryansurvivor1984: what a rip off
WooleyBear2006: I tried putting in the URL but it was like "this site is restricted"
ryansurvivor1984: that sucks man
ryansurvivor1984: but hey at least you tried

[Ryan]

ryansurvivor1984: hey taylor
taylorserveshard: hey
ryansurvivor1984: how are ya
taylorserveshard: good
taylorserveshard: you
ryansurvivor1984: not too bad nervous for tonight though you?
taylorserveshard: same
ryansurvivor1984: everyones absence lately makes me uneasy
taylorserveshard: I know me too
ryansurvivor1984: have you spoken to anyone about the vote tonight?
taylorserveshard: I've heard rami really
ryansurvivor1984: me too him and lucas and steve
taylorserveshard: who'd you hear steve from
ryansurvivor1984: it came up with lucas i believe
ryansurvivor1984: it does make some sense it just suprised me that lucas was offering up someone he is that tightly connected with
ryansurvivor1984: i mean they have been alligned since the start
ryansurvivor1984: not?
taylorserveshard: I don't know
ryansurvivor1984: either way tonight is gonna be real tough, because there is now an issue of slight inactive against disloyality again
taylorserveshard: I know
ryansurvivor1984: between us have you narrowed it down to who you are willing to vote for yet?
taylorserveshard: no
ryansurvivor1984: i have cut out a few names
taylorserveshard: well I mean you and kyle yeah
taylorserveshard: I won't vote for
ryansurvivor1984: ditto
ryansurvivor1984: i would still honestly like to see someone gone before the merge
taylorserveshard: yeah
ryansurvivor1984: would you consider voting for "him" tonight?
taylorserveshard: maybe but I just don't know
taylorserveshard: I don't like people who don't care enough to vote
ryansurvivor1984: realisticly we would have the numbers
ryansurvivor1984: i talked to him about that and it really wasn't his fault
ryansurvivor1984: he felt bad and realized that it hurt him more than anyone else
ryansurvivor1984: in fact he has already placed his vote for tonight as a precaution
taylorserveshard: ahh
ryansurvivor1984: hes actually the reason that i'm considering voting for lucas
ryansurvivor1984: he came to me saying that he had somebody on board already and that because of previous votes he just needed one more to force a tie
ryansurvivor1984: so its either having a split vote or a chance to get rid of somebody who's been lying since the first promise he made
taylorserveshard: i don't know
taylorserveshard: let me think
ryansurvivor1984: k
taylorserveshard: okay, I will give you an answer before tc
ryansurvivor1984: thats cool just think that if we got rid of lucas now the three of us would be more numerous amongst the guys later on too
ryansurvivor1984: but yeah let me know before tc so that we know somewhat what's going down
