12/14

Keith

Grkrapper2 (2:40:31 PM): hey what up
velva8490 (2:41:21 PM): just finished watching the old The Day the Earth Stood Still. we watched the new movie last night
Grkrapper2 (2:42:15 PM): sweet
velva8490 (2:42:45 PM): i like old movies. what are you up to
Grkrapper2 (2:42:56 PM): not too much at all
velva8490 (2:43:49 PM): it's nice to just relax & not have anything going on
Grkrapper2 (2:44:06 PM): so hey question for ya, how certain are you fo making the final 3
velva8490 (2:44:45 PM): not certain at all
Grkrapper2 (2:45:10 PM): well come to find out eliza, dan, gary and robb have got a tight final 4 alliance going
velva8490 (2:45:30 PM): how do you know this?
Grkrapper2 (2:47:27 PM): i have talked to some of them and none of them plan on voting each other out anytime soon. dan likes eliza and robb the best, and eliza likes those 2 the best and so on, its kidna odd that none of them want to vote each other out and not have a final 4 alliance
Grkrapper2 (2:50:49 PM): if you rob and i can make a final 3 alliance we can take out the other alliance and have a solid spot
velva8490 (2:52:33 PM): i like both you guys. it's a pity we couldn't have stayed on the same tribe together
Grkrapper2 (2:53:08 PM): yeah and we could do it cause im sure if i ask tina and robb they would help take out that alliance
velva8490 (2:53:50 PM): robb?
Grkrapper2 (2:54:08 PM): rob M i mean sorry
Grkrapper2 (2:55:10 PM): i have also been told that i am being targetted to be voted off next, have you heard that at all?
velva8490 (2:55:35 PM): i haven't heard anything. but i haven't been on for a few days
Grkrapper2 (2:56:21 PM): rudy hasnt heard that either when i told him and i found that out from gary so it sounds like yall are out of that tight group
Grkrapper2 (3:01:17 PM): im thinking we go for eliza or dan first, if gary or rob dont have a final 4 with them then they should have no problem voting them out
Grkrapper2 (3:01:34 PM): but if they do like i suspect then they will change it and vote someone like lets say me out
velva8490 (3:02:42 PM): i think i would be ok going for eliza or dan
Grkrapper2 (3:09:21 PM): in order to take that alliance down you rudy and I woudl have to make a solid 3 and we could prolly use tina and rob m to help us
Grkrapper2 (3:09:54 PM): cause right now i have nobody which is why i just been voting with the majority, the only person i really talked to all that much was amber and that didnt go to well lol
Grkrapper2 (3:11:05 PM): i mean when i try talking ti dan eliza and robb they dont say all that much to me, especially eliza and robb
velva8490 (3:12:08 PM): i haven't talk to robb in ages. eliza & i talk by pm some. dan and i talk a little
Grkrapper2 (3:12:56 PM): yeah they like to keep the majority of their conversations between the three of them cause some how they are getting their votes to go there way
velva8490 (3:13:41 PM): i think it is the connections they have with other people
velva8490 (3:13:52 PM): even if it is just indirect
Grkrapper2 (3:16:12 PM): what do you think about u me and rudy taking it to the final 3 and bringing in tina and rob to have the numbers and taking out the other 4. those 4 dont plan on voting each other out at all
Grkrapper2 (3:16:52 PM): i was asking rudy about it and he is liking the plan so far
velva8490 (3:18:09 PM): yeah rudy & i are discussing it too. and we feel pretty good about it
Grkrapper2 (3:22:29 PM): alright sweet deal
velva8490 (3:25:13 PM): ok it's a deal
velva8490 (3:26:01 PM): actually i wouldn't mind working with you again
Grkrapper2 (3:26:12 PM): sweet just like old times
velva8490 (3:26:22 PM):
Grkrapper2 (3:30:11 PM): alright i gotta split so ill catch ya later, im gonna shoot for dan and elizas targets first and check the board on occassion
velva8490 (3:30:36 PM): ok either of those are fine with me
Grkrapper2 (3:30:47 PM): aight ill catch ya later
Grkrapper2 (3:30:51 PM): peace

Rudy

velva8490 (2:52:00 PM): hey
xarmydoc77 (2:52:12 PM): Hey, I am talking to Keith now too lol
velva8490 (2:52:55 PM): lol. that's why i was sending you a pm
xarmydoc77 (2:53:04 PM): what do you think?
velva8490 (2:53:33 PM): he mentioned an alliance with him & rob. did he say the same thing to you?
xarmydoc77 (2:53:52 PM): pretty much, and told me of the alliance between the other four
velva8490 (2:54:39 PM): do you think it is true? the alliance of eliza, gary, robb, dan?
xarmydoc77 (2:57:05 PM): honestly, it would not suprise me
velva8490 (2:58:30 PM): i'm not surprised about eliza, robb, & dan. because she has mentioned talking to them
xarmydoc77 (2:59:36 PM): but Gary...
velva8490 (2:59:58 PM): i really don't want to take him out
xarmydoc77 (3:00:09 PM): nor do I
velva8490 (3:00:16 PM): the other 3 i am ok about
xarmydoc77 (3:00:42 PM): I am fine with making a hitlist of those three
velva8490 (3:00:43 PM): i was sort of thinking of the 3 of us going to the end
xarmydoc77 (3:00:47 PM): and then go from there
velva8490 (3:00:58 PM): that would be fine with me
velva8490 (3:03:19 PM): so are you thinking about going back with our old tribe?
velva8490 (3:03:52 PM): i haven't talked in ages with robb
velva8490 (3:04:12 PM): and only a little bit with dan
velva8490 (3:04:24 PM): eliza sends me pm's
xarmydoc77 (3:04:30 PM): right now, I am really not thinking tribes at all
velva8490 (3:04:31 PM): but gary & i talk a lot
xarmydoc77 (3:04:33 PM): aside from a few people like you
velva8490 (3:04:41 PM): ok
velva8490 (3:07:34 PM): do you work with gary a lot
xarmydoc77 (3:07:48 PM): not as much anymore
velva8490 (3:08:47 PM): i work mainly with you & gary and talk to eliza on pm
velva8490 (3:09:16 PM): i would have a big problem voting for either you or gary
xarmydoc77 (3:10:38 PM): well, we can worry about that later if we need to
velva8490 (3:11:08 PM): so did you want to make an alliance with keith?
xarmydoc77 (3:11:28 PM): it could not hurt
velva8490 (3:12:45 PM): ok i think that would work
velva8490 (3:14:45 PM): i've been really unsure about eliza here lately
velva8490 (3:15:20 PM): i have felt she may be playing both sides....especially in this last matty vote
xarmydoc77 (3:15:53 PM): yeah, thats the feeling I am getting too
velva8490 (3:17:40 PM): because she was telling me matty was after me/gary and she was telling matty she was going to vote with him. i didn't know which way she would actually go
xarmydoc77 (3:18:32 PM): yeah, she actually PMed me and wanted to work with me
xarmydoc77 (3:18:38 PM): and I have not heard from her since
velva8490 (3:19:05 PM): did you tell her you would work with her
xarmydoc77 (3:19:23 PM): yeah, but have no intention of doing it
velva8490 (3:19:48 PM): i've been working with her on these last votes but we don't have an allinace
velva8490 (3:21:42 PM): so if you want the 2 of us to have an allinace with keith that is fine with me. he mentioned rob & tina too to work with
xarmydoc77 (3:21:52 PM): yeah, he was saying the same thing
velva8490 (3:22:34 PM): i'm fine with this alliance except i don't want to go against gary
xarmydoc77 (3:23:22 PM): we don't have to worry about that now
velva8490 (3:23:46 PM): i have not mentioned to keith i don't want to vote out gary
xarmydoc77 (3:23:57 PM): we can keep that a secret
velva8490 (3:24:18 PM): ok that might be the best thing. or it could make him a target
velva8490 (3:24:38 PM): so you want to make it deal with keith?
xarmydoc77 (3:25:03 PM): yes, I think its the right thing to do
velva8490 (3:26:43 PM): ok then let's do it
velva8490 (3:27:13 PM): btw did you forget to vote?
xarmydoc77 (3:29:28 PM): yeah it was stupid
velva8490 (3:30:00 PM): it blew me away
xarmydoc77 (3:31:05 PM): I am not normally like that
velva8490 (3:32:03 PM): well everything worked out and there were plenty of votes out there. and the vote had switched from me to dan. so there was really no reason to worry
velva8490 (3:32:44 PM): and besides i only had eliza's word the vote was going my way anyway. so i don't know how true that was. or just matty talking
xarmydoc77 (3:33:38 PM): speaking of him, why did he get banned?
velva8490 (3:33:52 PM): he cursed ian out on the board
xarmydoc77 (3:34:03 PM): wish I could have seen that
velva8490 (3:36:09 PM): it is in the tribal council forum after he got voted out
velva8490 (3:36:42 PM): and then more in LULZ EVERYONE
velva8490 (3:37:01 PM): on the general board
xarmydoc77 (3:37:03 PM): I will have to go take a look
velva8490 (3:37:35 PM): yeah it was pretty disrespectful
velva8490 (3:37:43 PM): i'm glad he got voted out
xarmydoc77 (3:38:04 PM): looks like a good choice
velva8490 (3:41:07 PM): good luck this week on your finals
xarmydoc77 (3:41:42 PM): thanks so much, its going to be rough
velva8490 (3:43:32 PM): i hope it goes better than you think it will. where do work? it seems you have really a lot to do what with school, this game, and hosting your own game, and working
xarmydoc77 (3:43:57 PM): yeah, but I am pretty good with time managment
velva8490 (3:44:34 PM): that great that you are. what kind of job do you have?
xarmydoc77 (3:44:53 PM): I just sit behind a desk at the dorms
xarmydoc77 (3:45:00 PM): thats where I am now in fact lol
velva8490 (3:45:33 PM): that sounds good. at least you can do other things

Grkrapper2 (6:55:57 PM): sup
velva8490 (6:57:00 PM): hey there!
velva8490 (6:57:04 PM): what's going on?
Grkrapper2 (6:57:09 PM): not too much how bout u
velva8490 (6:57:53 PM): just taking it easy now. i was exhausted today at work. stayed up too late watching Survivor last night.
Grkrapper2 (6:58:22 PM): yeah that was quite intresting, were you happy with the result
velva8490 (6:59:18 PM): yeah i wanted bob to win. but i thought sugar was crazy for voting matty even though i wanted her to do it. did your person win
Grkrapper2 (7:00:06 PM): crystal was my pick from earlier but out of the 3 i was happy with him. susie almost pulled the upset and sugar did terrible at the question part, like she didnt even want to win
velva8490 (7:01:07 PM): i couldn't believe susie almost won the game. i was disappointed that sugar just gave up at the end. i thought she played a good game too & deserve votes
Grkrapper2 (7:01:44 PM): yeah she did play the best strategy game out of the 3 but she just lost intrest i guess
velva8490 (7:02:34 PM): i think she might do well still....acting or whatever
Grkrapper2 (7:02:42 PM): this is true
Grkrapper2 (7:02:56 PM): so voting wise we still down with eliza?
velva8490 (7:03:47 PM): i wasn't sure if it was her or dan?
Grkrapper2 (7:04:15 PM): rudy was talking eliza last time so it should prolly be her, she is better then dan at challanges as well
Grkrapper2 (7:05:10 PM): u heard who any of the others are going for
velva8490 (7:06:06 PM): i've only heard tina mentioned by 1 person. but it hasn't been discussed with anyone else
Grkrapper2 (7:07:02 PM): yeah they will prolly be voting for me or tina
velva8490 (7:08:10 PM): have you talked to tina or rob yet?
Grkrapper2 (7:08:36 PM): yeah i mentioned voting eliza if she didnt win immunity and they were down with it
velva8490 (7:09:01 PM): ok. did you say anything about rudy & i working with you?
Grkrapper2 (7:10:45 PM): they asked if we could get more votes some how and i said kathy and rudy were thinking about voting eliza as well
velva8490 (7:11:09 PM): that sounds good
Grkrapper2 (7:14:52 PM): aight so i will confirm with rudy and rob and tina to vote for eliza
velva8490 (7:15:36 PM): ok that will work. let me know if it changes or anything new develops
Grkrapper2 (7:15:54 PM): aight i will, likewise
Grkrapper2 (7:19:05 PM): im out so ill catch ya later, if i hear any updates ill leave you an IM or PM
velva8490 (7:19:35 PM): great. i'll be checking. i'm hearing more that it is going to tina
Grkrapper2 (7:20:52 PM): the only way tina gets voted off is if either you or rudy vote tina, cause im fo sure going to vote eliza and if you and rudy vote eliza it will be a done deal cause rob and tina are gonna vote eliza
Grkrapper2 (7:21:37 PM): and im thinking that alliance is getting scared and worried
velva8490 (7:22:21 PM): what i meant before was i heard of 2 people saying tina
velva8490 (7:22:38 PM): but with the 5 of us it will be eliza
Grkrapper2 (7:22:40 PM): ohh ok so that alliance is targetting tina for sur then
velva8490 (7:22:53 PM): yeah
Grkrapper2 (7:23:29 PM): aight, should we plan on saying we voting eliza or use a blindside
velva8490 (7:24:11 PM): i don't know for sure which would be the better way
velva8490 (7:24:29 PM): i have not said anything to them who else i have heard
Grkrapper2 (7:25:03 PM): aight let me know what you think later cause im heading out for some food
Grkrapper2 (7:25:10 PM): aight peace yo

RockOn8896 (6:44:01 PM): lol i know
RockOn8896 (6:44:10 PM): and i probably shouldn't even be talking to you
RockOn8896 (6:44:18 PM): but - i wanted to talk about the vote real quick
velva8490 (6:44:42 PM): ok. do you know anything?
RockOn8896 (6:45:06 PM): i dont KNOW anything
RockOn8896 (6:45:24 PM): is there alraedy some kind of plan in place?
velva8490 (6:46:34 PM): i don't know. i got on this evening hoping to hear something. i also haven't got any pm's yet
RockOn8896 (6:47:11 PM): well...i was thinking tina might be a good choice
velva8490 (6:47:32 PM): is that who everyone is going for?
RockOn8896 (6:47:54 PM): i dunno
velva8490 (6:47:56 PM): or have you talk to anyone about it yet?
RockOn8896 (6:48:21 PM): you're the first
velva8490 (6:49:01 PM): ok. can you let me know if everyone agrees with that?
RockOn8896 (6:49:17 PM): will do
RockOn8896 (6:49:24 PM): and let me know if you hear any other names getting tossed around
velva8490 (6:49:40 PM): ok. hopefully i will hear something soon
velva8490 (6:50:57 PM): i couldn't believe how matty has acted since getting voted out
RockOn8896 (6:52:06 PM): i know, isnt it terrible
velva8490 (6:52:46 PM): yeah. i'm glad he was voted out. especially now
RockOn8896 (6:53:23 PM): oh well
velva8490 (6:54:00 PM): he was removed from the jury
RockOn8896 (6:55:00 PM): not surprised
RockOn8896 (6:55:32 PM): i think he rejects society as a defense mechanism, because society has rejected him so often
velva8490 (6:56:53 PM): i would have never thought of that. but then i didn't know him or anything that went on with him
RockOn8896 (6:57:13 PM): lol - i was 3/4 kidding
RockOn8896 (6:57:53 PM): i was watching hancock last night, and jason bateman said something along those lines
velva8490 (6:58:20 PM): LOL
RockOn8896 (6:59:44 PM): haha
RockOn8896 (6:59:56 PM): i'm like, really slap happy right now because i've been workin all day
RockOn8896 (7:00:08 PM): and when i'm slap happy i start saying ridiculous things like that
RockOn8896 (7:00:15 PM): so, my apologies
velva8490 (7:01:33 PM): no apologies necessary. i think it is funny.
velva8490 (7:01:58 PM): i saw hancock too and really enjoyed it. but it's been awhile and i have forgotten that comment
RockOn8896 (7:02:22 PM): lol
RockOn8896 (7:02:29 PM): well it was somethin like that...not verbatum
velva8490 (7:03:22 PM): well he did have problems fitting in with people
RockOn8896 (7:03:37 PM): who, hancock or matty?
RockOn8896 (7:03:37 PM): lol
velva8490 (7:04:04 PM): hancock
RockOn8896 (7:04:12 PM): ah right
RockOn8896 (7:04:16 PM): yes he did
RockOn8896 (7:04:20 PM): fitting in was not his forte
velva8490 (7:04:48 PM): i really like will smith. he has another movie coming out i think this weekend
RockOn8896 (7:05:11 PM): is it that 8 pounds or whatever its called?
velva8490 (7:06:37 PM): yeah. i something like that. think it will be good.
RockOn8896 (7:14:52 PM): ok - so if i include both you and me, that makes four people who would for sure vote for tina
RockOn8896 (7:15:24 PM): this doesnt include dan...who she voted against last tribal...or gary, who i'm pretty sure would be on board
velva8490 (7:17:20 PM): ok then that will be enough
RockOn8896 (7:18:07 PM): what do you think about rudy?
RockOn8896 (7:18:28 PM): like, where would he stand
velva8490 (7:18:29 PM): he will probably go with the majority
RockOn8896 (7:18:33 PM): ok

PM From Eliza
Hey. I think they're voting for me tonight.. Who do you wanna vote for? I was thinking Tina because she's hardcore in challenges and she won't give up.

Would you be down for voting for Tina?

PM to Eliza
She can be really strong in challenges. So that sounds like the smart way to go.

PM From Eliza
Okay cool. I know they'll vote me since I eliminated Rudy from the challenge.

I trust you so hopefully we have 5 votes.

PM to Eliza
Ok. Let me know if anything changes.

PM to Gary
Congrats on winning immunity! I was really hoping you would win. Even though you did take me out. lol

Good luck this week on your finals!

PM to Rudy
I hear the vote is between Eliza and Tina.

PM From Rudy
Either is fine with me, but I would much rather see Eliza go

PM to Rudy
This is a hard vote for me. I feel bad voting for Eliza because even though we never had an alliance we did talk about the vote and she trusts me. Also Gary trusts me and I feel he will be upset about this.

But the alliance we would have with Keith would be a good thing too.

Esoshnick (10:40:59 PM): hey Velva
velva8490 (10:41:28 PM): hey there! how's it going?
Esoshnick (10:41:45 PM): pretty good I just got back from the office Christmas party hows everything with u?
velva8490 (10:42:07 PM): going pretty good
velva8490 (10:42:25 PM): did you get things worked out at your job?
Esoshnick (10:43:04 PM): I hope so
Esoshnick (10:43:28 PM): its just such a crazy office
velva8490 (10:43:31 PM): good. that was pretty awful last week that you had to deal with
Esoshnick (10:43:38 PM): yea it was a nightmare
Esoshnick (10:44:02 PM): and it was that paralegals birthday today so I bought her $40 worth of lotto tix and she seemed happy
velva8490 (10:45:09 PM): LOL. maybe it will make a difference with her
Esoshnick (10:45:29 PM): she apologized to me again afterwards so Im hoping things will just go back to normal now
velva8490 (10:46:10 PM): that would be a good thing if it would happen that way
Esoshnick (10:46:14 PM): I still dont understand why she got so upset with me in the first place but she cant explain it without crying so I guess I'll never really know for sure
velva8490 (10:50:07 PM): it's hard to know what people are thinking
Esoshnick (10:50:45 PM): yea people are crazy sometimes
velva8490 (10:51:50 PM): we use to have office fights all the time but things have settled down over the last few years
Esoshnick (10:53:08 PM): good I prefer when its nice and peaceful lol
velva8490 (10:53:33 PM): me too. work is hard enough as it is
Esoshnick (10:53:54 PM): yup

Gary

velva8490 (10:36:28 PM): hi
RnnrBrian (10:36:51 PM): Hey you! did you get my PM? I just sent it like 5 minutes ago
velva8490 (10:37:01 PM): yeah i just saw it
velva8490 (10:37:16 PM): how's studying going?
RnnrBrian (10:37:43 PM): it's going okay...I got a lot done tonight at the library, and I'm gonna be working on a paper tonight
velva8490 (10:38:03 PM): good job
velva8490 (10:38:42 PM): when did you hear rudy was voting for keith?
RnnrBrian (10:39:04 PM): we had talked about it a few days ago, like right after the Matty vote
velva8490 (10:39:51 PM): have you talked to anyone about the vote?
RnnrBrian (10:40:27 PM): no, I'm talking to Rudy right now about it though. And he told me it's between eliza and tina
RnnrBrian (10:41:00 PM): I also sent a PM to Eliza before you talked to me because she asked about the vote. I said pretty much the same thing that I said to you in your PM
velva8490 (10:42:50 PM): what are your feelings about the vote between eliza & tina
RnnrBrian (10:43:49 PM): well...if it's only between those two I'd rather vote Tina. But I'd also rather vote for Keith over the two of them. And you? what do you think?
velva8490 (10:48:46 PM): can i ask you a question? i've been hearing of a final 4 alliance between you, eliza, dan, & robb
RnnrBrian (10:49:59 PM): that's not true. Seriously, it ain't. Like I told you before Dan and Eliza don't even talk to eachother (I don't think they've ever had a conversation)...
RnnrBrian (10:51:16 PM): However, I do think that Eliza and Robb and Dan all trust me because I talk to them a lot and let them know what's up with the voting and such. But I don't believe they're allied with eachother.
velva8490 (10:53:12 PM): i guess matty sort of got people thinking that way with all his comments
RnnrBrian (10:54:54 PM): yeah, I know. I think it may have been because Eliza and Dan had both told him that they had a good relationship with me, and he took that, ran a lot of assumptions, and made up his own story of what's going on.
velva8490 (10:57:31 PM): of course he has sort of gone crazy anyway on the board
RnnrBrian (10:58:14 PM): yeah. I don't think he's a jury member anymore
velva8490 (10:58:24 PM): no he's in loser lounge
RnnrBrian (10:59:10 PM): so...judging by your comments and not answering my questions I'm assuming that you and Rudy are voting Eliza, right?
velva8490 (11:00:34 PM): i've been asked to. but i know that you & eliza have been together since day 1 and i fear you would be really upset about it
RnnrBrian (11:02:23 PM): yeah, I guess I would be a little. It's just that with Eliza gone I'm pretty much locked into this final 3 alliance with you guys, and I really don't think either of you is gonna take me to the finals, ya know?
RnnrBrian (11:02:46 PM): ugh, I'm probably shooting myself in the foot for being so honest, but that's kinda how I feel.
RnnrBrian (11:03:11 PM): I guess I understand if you guys vote her off though.
velva8490 (11:03:17 PM): i understand. actually i am shooting my ownself for telling you all this
velva8490 (11:04:16 PM): actually i wanted the 3 of us in the final 3
RnnrBrian (11:04:53 PM): yeah, no worries, I gotcha. We're BOTH too honest, lol! Good thing we're two stupid but honest blabbermouths that decided to ally with eachother.
velva8490 (11:05:09 PM): lol
RnnrBrian (11:05:20 PM): I just really wish I knew for sure if it was a final 3 or a final 2.
RnnrBrian (11:06:20 PM): because, well, I'd have to go along with it because I already gave my word to you guys...but if it's a final 2 I'm totally shooting myself in the foot, ya know?
velva8490 (11:07:33 PM): yeah i understand what you are saying.
RnnrBrian (11:08:27 PM): well...okay. I'll be fine with you guys voting Eliza. I'm still not sure if I'm going to vote for her though, I have to think about it. I don't like being that dick that votes out his friend.
velva8490 (11:09:40 PM): i feel really bad about it myself because we have talked about the votes but have never had an alliance or anything like that
velva8490 (11:10:32 PM): but you need to do what is best for you
velva8490 (11:10:43 PM): and the way you feel about things
RnnrBrian (11:12:47 PM): so...after Eliza are y'all gonna take out Robb and Dan as well?
velva8490 (11:13:50 PM): i'm not sure. but i would never vote for you
velva8490 (11:19:21 PM): are you there?
RnnrBrian (11:19:36 PM): yeah, I'm here, sorry.
velva8490 (11:19:57 PM): i'm going to have to call it a night
RnnrBrian (11:20:18 PM): mmkay, gotcha. I'll let you know through PM who I'm gonna vote for then.
velva8490 (11:20:58 PM): ok thanks. if you hear anything let me know.
RnnrBrian (11:21:03 PM): mmkay
velva8490 (11:21:19 PM): i'll talk to you later
RnnrBrian (11:21:29 PM): okay, buenas noches

PM From Keith
i talked to rob and tina and they are solid for voting eliza

PM From Gary
I'm sending this PM to both you and Rudy.

Alright, y'all, here's what I'm planning on doing for my vote. I'm actually voting strategically, or at least in a way that I think will strategically help us without me voting for Eliza. I've flipped a coin, and will either be voting for you or Rudy. I'm also not going to be telling anyone who I voted for, so no one's gonna know anything except that I'm not voting for Eliza.

The reason I'm voting this way is that by casting a vote against one of you I think I could make it look like us 3 aren't alligned. Or at least that I'M not alligned with either one of you. I think this could give us an advantage in the game, because everyone's still trying to figure out where alliances stand.

Um, if you don't like the way I decided to vote, I'm sorry. But I really think that this could work out good for us if we all play it off right.

PM to Gary
I understand you not wanting to vote for Eliza especially since the 2 of you have been together since day 1 and have worked together so much in the game. I wouldn't expect you to do otherwise and would not ask you to vote for her. I think this is a good thing on your part.

Go ahead and vote for me. There will not be any hard feelings and actually it is a good plan.

PM From Gary
Thanks for being so understanding about the whole thing Kathy. It means a lot.

PM From Eliza
Well I'll vote for anyone to save my a*s but apparently you told someone you're voting for me. I'm not stupid and if you wanna believe Matty (who's just pissed off that he got voted off) then go ahead but they're just gonna go after you soon anyway and that's 1 less vote you'll have.

PM to Rudy
I just wanted to make sure you were voting for Eliza. If there are any changes please let me know.

Gary is going to vote for either you or me. I told him to go ahead & vote for me.

PM From Rudy
Yeah, it looks like the vote is Eliza, which I will go and do now

PM to Gary
I am glad things worked out the way they did at tribal council. I know Eliza really wanted to stay in the game and I'm glad she got to do so. I had felt bad all day about Eliza being voted out. But not just for Eliza. I felt really bad for you because I knew you had been with Eliza all throughout this game and especially did not want to see her go.

Hope your finals are going good!

PM to Gary
I know you must think I am crazy. One minute I saw a post from Ian that Dan laid down his torch and was out of the game. Then after I sent you that pm the post was gone. Later the one about the tribal votes came up.

PM From Gary
yeah, I'm talking to Dan right now...he's pretty mad he didn't end up leaving. I mean, he's going to be gone on thursday for 10 days anyway so he's gonna become inactive, ya know?

I guess on the bright side, we have a get-out-of-tc for free pass next round unless people try to be sneaky. We can all just vote for Dan, ya know?

PM to Gary
I agree. I'm fine for voting Dan next round so the more active and interested players can continue playing.
