Alliances & Gameplay

[Natalie White]

So I made my first official alliance with Erik last night. Well, official meaning I really meant it! I receive a PM from Jaison:
Hey Natalie! What's up?
What to be in an alliance?

So I just replied yes, however I don't mean it as I am sure he does not either. I have a feeling everyone got that PM.

Back to Erik. We were chatting last night and I liked him, I think we can work well together. We were talking about past game history and setting yourself up with the right people, so I gradually worked the conversation up to us aligning and waiting to see who we would like to work with later. Now, I do realize that could be his angle, but it's OK, I am not naive.

So Erik told me Jaison PMed me, him, Russell and John about being in an alliance but didn't tell any of us. LOL. Erik only knows becasue he asked him who else he was thinking about. too funny.

Well, I was also aligned will Dave, Russell & John before Russell quit after the challenge mess. It was confusing and frustrating. I have done many challenges that have gone either way as far as allowing players to repeat and a few of us discussed what we felt was the best thing to do so apparently we were wrong and it cost us a great player while inactives still float around. Yeah sucks. Dave had told me prior to that challenge that the three guys above were aligned and they wanted to pull me in but Russell was hesitant because females are usually backstabbers, lol. I actually am not usually one, though at times gameplay does call for it. Him and I chatted and worked so well together during that challenge he got past it and told me John was the one who actually suggested bringing me into their alliance. That is the reason I am talking about Russell since there is no other point, he is gone. I've had a few good conversations with John and during this current challenge he ask for a final 2 with me. So I told Erik we need to just work him into the alliance.

LOL, they will prolly team up and vote me out. It's never good being the only girl in a boy's club.

So just as I work Erik into my alliance with John and Dave Jeff switches our tribes. Isn't that always the way, lol.
So I am now a member of Foa Foa and my tribe consists of Ben, Marisa, Russell & Elizabeth, and we have myself, Erik & Dave. So luckily I've only lost John at this point. We are still in touch though so hopefully he makes if to the merge.
So I like my new tribe, Marisa thinks myself, Ben and she seem to be strongest and should stick together. Works for me at the moment.

[Natalie White]

Ok, so as of now I am working with Erik & Dave and Ben & Marisa.
I have spoken to both sets about working with the other and they seem fine with it which basically means we can only vote out Russell. It is going to get difficult, I do like my original alliance and I am starting to like Ben as well. Marisa only communicates thru PM so that is limited.

[Natalie White]

OK, lots to catch up on, we just voted Brett off and he is super pissed! Says we all backstabbed him, ummm, I have never spoken a word to him. Ashley called me a cunt during the challenge because I smashed her plates in the PLATE SMASHING CHALLENGE, whatever. OK though, I was furious she called me a cunt and we almost changed the vote to her. A cunt? Really? UGH! So Erik appears to be missing, not sure what is going on there. Mick and I are working together as well. As of now it is:

Me
John
Mick
Dave
Marisa
Erik

As this games goes on it is going to get harder and harder to vote out. I talk to Dave all the time, though he has not mentioned anything about the end. Erik, if he comes back was my first ally, and then there is John.

I like him alot. We have made a final 2 deal. We talk all the time, I trust him and he trusts me.


More later. Nat's a hungry girl.


God I can't get this song out of my head.
