Well my first thoughts on the game are pretty good. I feel that this game is starting a bit laid back. I think my social skills will play well with this group of people.
Here is the cast and my thoughts on each:
Anthony - Pretty good guy. He is very social with me and I imagine would be open to working together.
Donna - Absolutely AWESOME lady. I soooo look forward to working with her.
Donnann - Lilytiger, Donna. Sweet lady!
Elizabeth - How can you not love Liz!? She is stupendous. Will need to make sure she is working with me so that she isn't against me. Strong player.
Eric - YAY! My bud. My egg pusher. Should be interesting to see if we work together or not in this game. The last game we had an alliance in he told me that he wouldn't work with me again...cause I picked Jason over him.
Jason - Not sure if this is phJason or a different Jason. If ph then may possibly have a relationship here to build on.
Jeff - Not Blake Jeff. Totally don't have a clue who this is.
Kathleen - Never have had an alliance with her before. Have hosted her and she was a good gal. Look forward to getting to know her.
Mitch - Played with him when he was Edgardo. Absolutely ADORED him and will definitely pursue an alliance with him!
Nathan - No idea who this is.
Scott - No idea who this is either.
Tom - Same as above.
Warren - Ditto.
Will - Don't guess I know him either. Billy is his name I guess.
Surely I know some of these unknowns by another name but just didn't know their real names. Look forward to playing under you Thrills!

Have a few that I have talked to on AIM today:
Scott seems nice. Talked weather with him.
Will: Splatt suggested an alliance of me and him along with nate, donna, and possibly ant. I told him that I didn't really know the players well enough to commit to an alliance with them. I don't know if they are going to be active or be complete jerks. He then said that he thinks that Scott is weird, strange weird. Will need to watch this to see if he is just that fickle or if there is something more going on there. Think that he probably just wants to agree with me.
Nathan: Talked to him for a few minutes tonight too. He is young and new. I think he said that he lives in Utah. He was a James Dean fan and this is why he has the IM name that he does. Don't know anything else about him.
Jason- Asked if I wanted to work with him again. I definitely do. He is a great allie and very trustworthy. Hopefully he will be able to stay active. I know that he has had a lot of personal problems lately. Fingers crossed that this doesn't happen!

Elizabeth - Have worked out an alliance with her. She likes Mitch and so do I however Mitch has many enemies in this game and may not be a sound investment.
Eric - Working with him, alliance
Jason - Working with him, alliance
Mitch - Working with him as much as I can. However, he may be short for this game as his enemies are numerous. If he can stick around he would be another nice/honest person that I can personally trust in my court
Nathan - Very nice guy. No formal alliance yet but I am not opposed to working with him.
Scott - Super cool cat.
Tom - Really like Tom and want to continue to build a friendship/possible alliance.
Warren - really really nice. Too nice and holds a lot of power. New player yet obviously has made a lot of connections very fast in the game. While he isn't an immediate threat, I would definitely take any opportunity to vote him out!

Working on an alliance with her, however haven't had much chance to communicate with her.

- Katleen- have a final 2 with her. Working very close with her but am a bit worried about her connection with Liz.
- Anthony - VERY close to him. He has offered me a final 2. I said this:
SurvivorSheree (2:20:29 PM): It was kind of unspoken
come2meok (2:20:35 PM): Lol
SurvivorSheree (2:20:38 PM): you are the only one I would dream of helping win HOH
SurvivorSheree (2:20:52 PM): so it was just sort of there for me
So basically I agreed to a final 2 with him. Problem is...about 2 minutes before he offered...I made the same deal with Kathleen! This could be a problem. But won't worry about it right now. Will work with both equally and see if we all stay in the game.
- Tom -Super super sweet guy. Want him to stay in the game, even if it costs me.
- Eric - Also seems to be floating right now. I imagine that this is probably strategy for him so that he doesn't make himself a huge target.
- Billy "Will"- Haven't talked with him much either lately. Need to get back and IM him.
- Liz- I like Liz and have had a good amount of communication with her so far. I am including her in my alliance with Kat but don't have anything in stone with her nor have given her my word for anything
- Nathan - Haven't really talked much to him lately. I think he is going off his own direction. However, we have talked so I think that I could at least keep him from nominating me.
- Jason - Floating, probably real busy
- Warren -See him as my biggest threat in the game. Can't take him out until I figure out how deep his presense is.
- Donna - Nice lady but seems to be floating through the game. At this point I would vote her out
- Scott Absolute floater. Needs to go. Real nice guy but isn't playing the game (other than socially) as far as I can see.
- Donnann- Floating

Nathan - Talked to him on IM today. He has felt completely out of the loop in this game. No idea who or what anyone is doing. Sure glad to know I am not the only one. WEIRD to start discovering that this game is still a vast untapped market for alliances..in week 3!
Tom- He has ALSO felt out of the loop. He really likes Warren.....and he likes Jason (because he said he was safe). He called me his closest allie.
Seems like they are on the same page as I am that Donnann and Scott need to be the next nominees.

- Katleen- Trust her completely.
- Anthony - Trust him completely.
- Tom -Still love Tom...doesn't everyone.....hmmmmm.....yeah, exactly. HUGE problem.
- Eric - Either inactive or playing a game without me. He may be with Liz which would be odd but smart as unexpected. Take out Liz and take out a lot of concern.
- Billy Another dark horse. I fear him the least out of the perceived 5 person alliance.
- Liz- Not long for this game because too many people perceive her as a threat in not knowing who she is and isn't with.
- Nathan - True Dark Horse of the game. Very slick player. Knows when to show his hand and when to keep it hid. If the opportunity arises need to vote him out. I think that he has a much deeper alliance than I thought even a week ago. Just a gut feeling.
- Warren -Great guy...still don't know for sure what to think of him as I am sure he feels the same about me. If I can take out a few of his perceived allies then I wouldn't be so concerned about him.
- Donna - She is a huge target in this game. I have taken this as an opportunity to feel her out for an alliance to see if she is floating or if she just has nothing. Depending on what she says I can decide whether or not she is a threat to my game here or someone who I can depend on...like my gut says. I won't give her a final 4 because I am just not sure that I would want her to float her way to the end again and have people see that as a good strategy. I should be able to use her for a few votes.
- Scott I believe that he has an alliance with Warren, Billy, Tom, and Nathan.

If I had to have MY picks for a final 4, I would want
Me, Kathleen, Anthony, and Billy.
Donna is also in there and Liz and Scott....those are the people I would like to have surrounding me. Eric is great but I just don't know where his head is at this particular moment in the game. I may want him around more than I think but just can't say at the moment.

This is really hard not being able to communicate on the board or through PMs. I am such a social person and always rely on my ability to read people through spoken words. I cannot do that right now and so I am completely out on a limb and can't do a thing about it.
I do feel that overall I am setting myself up fairly well. My HOH week was MORE than successful. I was not only able to shake things up but also able to clearly see that Warren has Scott in his back pocket. Scott really wasn't thinking too clearly with that last competition and he is on a losing endeavor. I have made sure to point it out to anyone I could before being locked down that Warren is definitely a threat and Scott is with him. I also have stated my wishes that Scott and Warren would be placed on the block. My biggest worry right now is that Warren will win the next HoH and of course put me up on the block. I am not able to compete in the POV so can't save myself. As long as he doesn't know who to put me up against I should be ok. I feel that I am liked enough to be saved. But I don't guess I would even be able to rally the troops in my defense!! That really really sucks! Talk about having to place complete trust in your friends!
My hopes are that anyone other than Warren wins this HOH...I would be interested to see who Nathan would put up if he won but I would rather not risk even him being HoH with me being on communication shut down.
I am rooting for ANYONE other than those two to win this next power struggle! My game actually sort of...in a way...depends on this next HoH.

I talked pretty heavy last night with Tom. He asked me if I was with Kathleen. I basically was forced into a spot where if felt that if I told him 'no' that he would have voted out Kat because she wasn't needed and if I told him 'yes' that he would vote her out to split her and me up. Warren has worked on him pretty hard but my feelings toward Tom are obviously reciporcated. Somehow I was able to sugar coat my game with Kathleen into looking like a new thing and something that I would like to work on. I told him that I like her and was going to vote Liz out to 'repay' Kathleen for her kindness in pulling me off the block.
Obviously Tom was in a spot where he was being asked to decide the vote. With his vote I believe that a final 4 of me, him, Kathleen, and Anthony is definitely feasable. However, I need to cozy up a bit to Donna as she could definitely be used as a swing still and I need her to pull the number.

I want to be able to get through this week and even though I am nominated with Kathleen would like to see one of us come off the block and Warren nominate Donna as a replacement instead of Tom. I would feel so bad if my conversation with Tom last round cost him his game. I know that Kathleen doesn't really like Tom but whatever...I need him around right now especially since Donna is likely joining forces with Warren/Scott. I need to convince Warren that Kathleen has a final 4 deal with Donna and piss Warren off. He has proven that he plays a very reactive game and I believe he would react to this by nominating her.
Survivor Sheree (10:00:42 AM): if we could somehow convince warren to put up donna as a replacement
Survivor Sheree (10:00:45 AM): hmmmmmm
kaejoncas (10:00:54 AM): i'll work on it
Survivor Sheree (10:00:57 AM): I will put out some words where I can
kaejoncas (10:01:01 AM): ok
kaejoncas (10:01:07 AM): im queen of bullshit
kaejoncas (10:01:10 AM): i can get stuff done
Survivor Sheree (10:01:56 AM): I know what needs to happen here.....scott needs to be told that Donna is in our final 4 alliance and believe it....just need to figure out how to get that to him without itsounding like bs
kaejoncas (10:02:11 AM): leave it to me
kaejoncas (10:02:14 AM): i know scott
Survivor Sheree (10:02:20 AM): i need to think about this for a minute
kaejoncas (10:02:23 AM): ok
Survivor Sheree (10:02:32 AM): hmmmm
kaejoncas (10:03:01 AM): i dunno atm
Survivor Sheree (10:04:22 AM): well overall I think that scott is very gullible
Survivor Sheree (10:05:28 AM): I think that a final 4 could be promised with him that included Donna in it
kaejoncas (10:05:37 AM): yeah
kaejoncas (10:05:45 AM): and then sell them out to warren?
kaejoncas (10:06:39 AM): i g2g though
kaejoncas (10:06:43 AM): meeting with my english prof
Survivor Sheree (10:06:58 AM): you could promise him you, Donna, Scott, and Tom....but would need to make Tom sound like a weak player who would be so easy to get out...the only problem is the connection with me. I think that making him think you are stringing me along would be good, that you want to drop me by say....6 or something
kaejoncas (10:07:18 AM): yeah
kaejoncas (10:07:26 AM): i'll work on it after my meeting
Survivor Sheree (10:07:47 AM): I would talk to him about this myself but if you think you are closer then you may be the way to go on it
kaejoncas (10:08:05 AM): yeah i know scott and what hes like
kaejoncas (10:08:12 AM): i'll work on how to do it after i meet with butler
kaejoncas (10:08:34 AM): i g2g now thogh its in 20 mins
Survivor Sheree (10:08:38 AM): let me know what you say to him so we can make sure that tom is aware and can back whatever you say up

I really like Nathan a lot but am not totally sold on him as far as Warren is concerned. He sent me the following message to which I responded below trying to draw attention away from Tom and onto Donna. If he is in cahoots with Warren then this message combined with whatever Kathleen says to Scott will hopefully get Donna nominated instead of Tom:
I figured that her vetoing me would end up biting her in the rear end which sucks for her. I, of course, was glad to be vetoed by anyone who felt the urge!
I haven't really talked to anyone yet about the vote. Warren is playing a very reactive game. I nominated him for a specific reason and so he reacted and nominated me. She took me off so he reacted and put her up. I would bet that if one of us comes off that he will react and put up Tom since Tom voted with us. He isn't playing strategically at all...just reactively which is good for me because I can pretty much nail down what he is doing. He would never put up Donna because she hasn't had to reveal her allegiances. He is very predictable. I hope I am around after this round because I am very much enjoying playing. Sounds like you have heard that she is the target? Are you going to be around to catch up on AIM later? I am going to go to the gym pretty soon but will be around to chat.

Nathan is HoH. This is going to be the tell all. I am hoping that he isn't working with Warren and Scott as close as he could be but worried that he is. With him having the power this week it will tell a lot. Hopefully he won't nominate Anthony but it is definitely a possibility since there are rumors out there that Anthony and Donna are together. I am starting to see that Donna is absolutely floating her way through this game. She probably could have attached to warren but this nomination will reveal that. Hopefully Nathan feels enough loyalty to me that he won't nominate me. Hopefully he won't know that there is a deep connection with me and TOm and won't nominate him either. It would be equally awesome if he didn't nominate Anthony. Anyone else is cake for me.....problem is this....if the nominations are bad then I will have to do what the HoH wants because a tie would be decided by the HoH and if there is a 2-2 split then I don't want to show that card.
