Episode One

[Mary Louise-Parker]

Edward just bumped up to the the top of my list! The fake hidden immunity idol? Genius! This is the first time I ever heard of someone creating a fake hidden immunity idol in an ONLINE GAME! This can either help him (alot) or hurt him... if he shows someone who actually does have a hidden immunity idol, then it will be obvious something it up. I'm hoping he can play this well... I'd love to see him do well just because of this move.

I've attempted this in the past. I was just never able to figure out a way to make it completely foolproof. If people pay enough attention, they'll catch it right away, so I'd hope he doesn't use this unless he's in a complete desperate position.

We'll see how smart the other players really are. He better not show this to Betty! LOL

[!Chad!]

Once, in a game, long ago, I was fooled by a fake idol.

It was like 4 years ago, I remember that the person created an account with the display name of Hosts Assistant. Then he sent a pm to just me and my alliance, but he said it was to everyone. He said the the password was a key word on the forum and gave a link to a forum he made where you claim the idol by pming him. I found it after a while and then he said that I got it and gave a really professional run down of how it could be used and when. Then when I used it, I looked like an idiot. The worst thing was that the host played a long when I asked about a detail of the idol. Bad Game, Bad experience >.<

OMG I SHOULD SO DO THAT SOMETIME!

So with Chris basically 100% going tonight, it's no big surprise. The second I saw the cast I knew he'd be gone first... He needs to watch what he says because some people find it awkward, and he needs to work on his English skills... Oh well, onto the next boot!

[Mikecrossword]

Justin is digging his grave... He is making this game so much harder than it needs to be and I think that's a growing theme this season. Maybe it's just a mirror of my gameplay, but I think these players are creating a lot more trouble than they need to this early. Get along with your tribe, try to get numbers, and pick off the others. The giant alliances are going to create some interesting dynamics once loyalties are put to the test with a vote. Obvious boots are still available so everyone is still happy. I can't wait for all that to change.

[Mikecrossword]

Talking with Justin on AIM now. His ego is going to be the death of him.

[!Chad!]

I think that over strategizing is a good thing, unless you actually act on it, that can be bad. Right now, I think everyone is fine and that making risky moves is how you win.

[Mikecrossword]

Yeah but overstrategizing also gets you in trouble, and in the case of Justin he is acting on it. He's trying to construct and control this alliance. I agree that power moves are how you win, but your power move comes when there's 5, 6, 7 people left. You have the numbers now just by voting out the inactive players. You don't need to force yourself into giant alliances. In the end, the sense of trust will probably be beneficial once the tribes re-align into 3 tribes of 4, but if Alex gets on a tribe with Sandra, persay, he's going to think he's much safer than he actually is.
