I LOVE Lydia. She thinks exactly like I do! I WANT to trust her, but I don't know if I can. She isn't the person who I thought she was at first, but I still don't know her identity. In fact, I don't know anyone's identity. She loves Stephenie and Jenna just like I do. She is worried about Ashley having an alliance. And she also thinks J.P. or John would have left during the last immunity if we lost.
Lydia 8:30 pm
hola, Brendan!
Brendan 8:30 pm
hey lydia!
Lydia 8:30 pm
how are you this evening?
Brendan 8:30 pm
tired. lol. and waiting for the immunity challenge to start
how are you?
Lydia 8:31 pm
same. It looks like it should be an interesting race. Hopefully Ashley drags her team down again. I'm a little surprised they kept her around, to be honest.
Brendan 8:31 pm
i am too
but that means... secret alliance on the other side?
Lydia 8:32 pm
who knows. She probably is in a nice alliance on her tribe.
Lydia 8:33 pm
it could be possible she knows someone from our tribe and they kept her around since they want to keep that connection a possibility to use at the merge. I thought about that a bit. But not sure who it would be from our tribe, and I don't want to start getting paranoid about people on our tribe.
Brendan 8:33 pm
well, i actually was thinking th esame thhing
and i don't want to start dropping names too, you know?
Lydia 8:34 pm
definitely. I'm afraid if we play point the finger, it could only hurt our tribe.
when really, we have a good chance at winning this challenge and having numbers going into the merge.
Brendan 8:34 pm
we do
and sara randomly chose john to sit out
Lydia 8:35 pm
I wasn't too upset about that, to be honest.
Brendan 8:35 pm
me neither
Lydia 8:35 pm
he seemed to have struggled a bit at the first two challenges
Brendan 8:35 pm
definitely
Lydia 8:35 pm
i'm not sure he is that great at reading and following the directions
Brendan 8:35 pm
you, stephenie, and jenna, and j.p. too contributed most
Lydia 8:36 pm
I honestly felt had Sierra not gone inactive, John would have been the one to go that round.
Brendan 8:36 pm
i do too
either him or j.p.
but then again, i start thinking, anyone could have gone because ashley is still there after losing the challnege for her tribe
brb
Lydia 8:37 pm
Very true.
Lydia 8:38 pm
I feel like that could very well happen if we had to go to Tribal Council this round. I am not sure what bonds John has built. I only know that he does not really socialize with me. I tried PMing him, but he didn't respond. J.P. isn't really that talkative either, but he responds to my messages when I do send them.
Brendan 8:39 pm
they're not too talkative to me either
jenna, i have talked to her on aim
i think she's really nice
and stephenie and i have been pm'ing alot
Lydia 8:40 pm
Yes, I love you, Jenna, and Steph
You are all easy to talk to, and I feel like I connect with the three of you the most.
So I really hope we all can make it far together.
Brendan 8:41 pm
i try to be open as much as possible. I've only played one other survivor game and i realize that if people don't talk to you... they probably don't need to talk to you
so i try to keep that path of communication open as much as possible
Lydia 8:41 pm
Yeah, I think communication is extremely important because it is a way to build trust, and that is how a tribe can truly flourish in my opinion.
Brendan 8:42 pm
it's not just an opinion, it's a fact
it even happens in the real survivor
i hear it all the time when someone goes to tribal. "no one is talking to me."
that person is usually voted out
Lydia 8:43 pm
yes, that is exactly right.
Which is why I think this challenge is the most important one we have had so far. Assuming we merge next round, I think it would be in our favor if we would not have to deal with voting someone out and possibly causing divisions in our tribe right before a merge. Because I feel like at this point, it is possible for the six of us to stick together in a merge scenario.
Brendan 8:45 pm
absolutely. this challenge shouldn't be hard to win... just time consuming especially for the last person who goes for the 15th token - it will take an hour to do that post
Lydia 8:46 pm
Exactly. Hopefully we can get all five of us to go very quickly so that the ones with the time can wrap up the challenge and get the final tokens.
Hopefully Guananico just made a very big mistake by keeping Ashley.
Brendan 8:46 pm
or did they?
that's going to bug me for awhile lol
Lydia 8:47 pm
Only time would tell. Who knows. Maybe she'll get the most tokens for her tribe during this challenge. lol
Brendan 8:47 pm
lol
the thing is... a majority of the tribe, at least 3 or 4 peopel had to vote paschal off
i mean, he did sit out that one challenge remember?
maybe he was a weak link?
and if 3 or 4 people voted him off... and there's 2 or 3 people in our tribe aligned with the other tribe, it could spell disaster for us
which means we HAVE to win
Lydia 8:48 pm
I was thinking that too. However, he has never seemed to have disappeared off of the logged on in the past 24 hours list.
Brendan 8:48 pm
i know
which is confusing
ashley didn't sign in for 2 days
maybe she went on a small vacation like me? lol
Lydia 8:49 pm
He could have been anti-social too. Who knows what has been going on at their camp/Tribal Councils. Maybe he was causing trouble
Lydia 8:49 pm
Yes, they could be thinking the same thing about you! Lol!
Brendan 8:49 pm
i know! that's what i was thinking!
"How did Sierra get voted off?"
omg, that could make me a target!
Lydia 8:49 pm
Lol!
Or completely the opposite
Brendan 8:50 pm
i mean, they could be suspicious about me... we're suspcious of ashley
Lydia 8:50 pm
They could assume you are at the bottom rung of our tribe's alliance, and you might be the one they will be approaching come the merge
Brendan 8:50 pm
true
but they're probably going to see me logged on much more often now that i have nothing else to do lol
at least they think stephenie is the strongest
so we're not targets you know lol
Lydia 8:50 pm
Lol. Stephenie could be a target bc of that Exile Island twist.
Omg u took the words right out of my mouth. Lol
Brendan 8:51 pm
haha
Lydia 8:51 pm
Hopefully all they did was at exile island was pick the order for that challenge
and hopefully there was no hidden immunity idol searching. x__x
Brendan 8:51 pm
you mean immunity idol?
Lydia 8:51 pm
yes
Brendan 8:51 pm
mm-hmm i know where your head is at
same place mine is
lol
Lydia 8:52 pm
We seem to think alike. lol
Brendan 8:52 pm
i wonder if there could be a hidden immunity idol hidden in the pictures at tribe camp you know?
Lydia 8:52 pm
Maybe both of us are paranoid. xD
Brendan 8:52 pm
lol
i always am
i know i just can't even think i'm safe
this isn't real survivor
so we can't see who talks to who
Lydia 8:52 pm
I feel like there wouldn't be an Exile Island without a bigger twist than picking a rowing rotation for a challenge
Sara seems like she would want to torture us more than that! Lol!
Brendan 8:53 pm
she is definitely into the game especially saying she has the next two seasons planned out
Lydia 8:53 pm
I went link searching bc I have no life
Brendan 8:53 pm
lol
Lydia 8:53 pm
and she has boards made up to season 6
Brendan 8:53 pm
really?
Lydia 8:53 pm
looks like season 6 will be Heroes vs Villains
Brendan 8:54 pm
i'm looking at them now
Lydia 8:54 pm
She seems like she is really into her series. And I love the fact we have our own intro! Lol!
Brendan 8:54 pm
it's great
gosh
Lydia 8:55 pm
I'm addicted to the series already. haha
Brendan 8:55 pm
lol
i'm just playing this season
i have to get my reality gaming out of my system
Lydia 8:56 pm
Aw, ur retiring?
Brendan 8:56 pm
i was retired lol
this is my first game in 2 years
Lydia 8:56 pm
Oh, wow! Lol
Brendan 8:56 pm
yea
Lydia 8:56 pm
couldn't help urself from coming back?
Brendan 8:56 pm
no
but then i realized why i stopped
i get paranoid lol
this is the only game i'm in
which makes it easier to focus
Lydia 8:57 pm
Yes, same here. I can't imagine being in several at once.
Lydia 8:58 pm
(do u want to get the first token or should I?)
Brendan 8:58 pm
i don't see how some people do that, you know? For me, i get involved and try to do the best I can and i know people get pissed when you eliminate them
ladies fifrst
first even
Lydia 8:58 pm
Alrighty.
I think it takes the fun out of it when you play too many at once.
Brendan 9:02 pm
so it takes you six minutes to do all your posts, then for me, 10 minutes, etc.
it is a time consuming challenge when you think about it
Lydia 9:03 pm
mhm.
it adds 4 minutes to each token
I feel like this waiting between posts will cause insanity to the tribe members getting the tokens that you have to dive deeper for. Lol
Brendan 9:03 pm
lol yea
at least we're not actually holding our breaths
just looking on the goood side
Lydia 9:04 pm
Lol! Yes! Drowning is one of my biggest fears
Brendan 9:06 pm
you were down there for awhile... glad you're back up now lol
Lydia 9:07 pm
Lol! I'm surprised I could hold my breath for 6 minutes. :-P
Brendan 9:07 pm
lucky you
i have to do 10 minutes
we could easily knock this challenge out if we didn't have to have all 5 people competeing
Lydia 9:07 pm
Totally! I feel that Sara wanted to make it fair by making all tribe members compete
Because if a tribe member had a complete inactive, it would almost not be fair if they won this challenge.
Brendan 9:08 pm
yep
Brendan 9:08 pm
but still
we could've won this lol
by ourselvse
i mean
you know what i mean
lol
Lydia 9:08 pm
for sure. lol. I'd stay up all night. Haha
Brendan 9:09 pm
i'm not sure if i would do that... lol
Lydia 9:09 pm
You'd have to if you wanted to finish it. xD
I'm gonna calculate quick how long this challenge would take if people did it right away
Brendan 9:09 pm
okay
Lydia 9:10 pm
510 minutes
8 and a half hours. =-O
Brendan 9:10 pm
whoa
j.p., steph, jenna, where are you ?
Lydia 9:12 pm
i hope they come on soon
Brendan 9:12 pm
we could complete this challenge with 2 people if they show up tonight
Lydia 9:12 pm
mhm
Brendan 9:12 pm
but eight hours
i'd be up til 5 in the morning!
lol
Lydia 9:13 pm
lol i've stayed up till 4 before
but that wasn't for an online reality game. lolol
Brendan 9:13 pm
i've stayed up all night too but ditto, not a reality game!
haha
i'm dedicated, but not that dedicated
if this was 4 oclock on an island with cameras rolling, then we'd talk
haha
Lydia 9:14 pm
if it was really a million dollars on the line. haha
Brendan 9:14 pm
exactly!
Lydia 9:15 pm
it looks like Steph has signed on
Brendan 9:16 pm
das great
i'm almost done
come on 2 more minutes
Lydia 9:18 pm
lol
can steph start right when u end, or does she have to wait 2 minutes?
Brendan 9:18 pm
and done
idk
that's why i waited 2 minutes after you lol
Lydia 9:18 pm
lol idk either
looks like steph went right away
Sara never said 2 minutes between each person, i guess.
Brendan 9:19 pm
i hope we don't get penalized
Lydia 9:19 pm
I'll PM Sara and ask
Brendan 9:19 pm
should we ask in the immunity thread?
ok
Lydia 9:20 pm
K. I asked.
Lydia 9:22 pm
I also asked if each post has to be exactly 2 minutes aprt
Brendan 9:22 pm
im' sure each one has to be two minutes apart
just like that past challenge had to post on the hour
sara is online
Lydia 9:23 pm
oh, good.
Lydia 9:24 pm
Okay, she said that each post must be at least 2 minutes apart. They don't have to be exactly 2 minutes apart
Also, you don't have to wait 2 minutes between each diver, but each person must wait 2 minutes between their posts
Brendan 9:25 pm
yay!
so i could post "brendan unclips token #15" at 10:00 AM and not resurface until 2:00 PM lol
Lydia 9:25 pm
basically, yes. Lol
Brendan 9:30 pm
i'm kinda surprised there's only 3 people online right now
u would've thunk that more people would have shown up
Lydia 9:30 pm
mhm
No one from the other tribe has shown up yet
which is fine with me. lol
Brendan 9:30 pm
me too lol
gives us a 1 in 10 shot
or dare i say, 1 in 6 shot =-O
Lydia 9:31 pm
for sure. Can't believe 5 people are gone already. lol
Brendan 9:31 pm
speak of the devil
natalie is online
Lydia 9:31 pm
i jinxed it.
Brendan 9:32 pm
i think we both did lol
Brendan 9:32 pm
3 tokens!
Lydia 9:32 pm
woo-hoo! only 12 more! lol
Brendan 9:32 pm
and 7.5 hours
gosh
lol
Lydia 9:33 pm
whichever tribe wins this challenge deserves it for sure
Brendan 9:33 pm
yes
i hope j.p. and jenna come through
i'm sure they will
Lydia 9:34 pm
as long as Ashley doesn't come back. Lol
Brendan 9:34 pm
hhaha
she has a wrestling match she needs to go to
(real ashley was a wrestler)
Lydia 9:35 pm
hahah
well, i'm going to go for a bit
i'll check in later to see if Jenna and J.P. have shown up
Brendan 9:35 pm
i think i will do the same
i will ttyl
Lydia 9:36 pm
okay. cya! :-)
Brendan 9:36 pm
bye
