JOURNAL

THE BEGINNING[/u]

SO I have waited to start the journaling until the game really got underfoot. A lot of what has been happening so far has just been playful banter. Not a lot of alliance making has happened on my end, because I think its way too early. Of course, Sheree wants to work together so that will happen because we are a good team.

Here's how I feel about everyone else at the top...

1. Anthony - he's hard to play with because his play is erratic and he's never around. He's very hard to strategize with, I don't see myself attaching myself to him.

2. Billy (Splatt) - See above. I have no idea how Splatt plays, he seems to be the ultimate floater. I have never seen him do anything but ruin games he starts. (FNET, Games Frenzy, etc.)

3. Donna (Cyber) - Always an old stand by, and a good ally. If we are on the same team then we end up working together really well. I will keep her in my inner circle for now.

4. Donnann (Lily) - Just played with her for the first time in Morocco as an ally and I must say she might have been one of my favorite allies. Hopefully we get to play together some in this game. We always end up on other sides of the coin for some reason, but I hope this is not that time.

5. Elizabeth - Make no mistake Liz is definitely with Mitch already, and Liz has a really laid back play style, she likes what she likes and that's that. This might be the time I try and actually work with her.

6. Eric - What needs to be said about Eric that we don't already know? Ugh. Lets see how this game goes with Eric.

7. Jeff - I know nothing about Jeff and look forward to getting to know this newb.

8. Kathleen - I have only played with Kathleen a few times over the years but she tends to be a great ally, so I look forward to seeing her play here at RGO and see how we can work together.

9. Mitch - again, not really played much with Mitch because he is always with Liz, Jake and JP, but he has asked me for an alliance so we'll see how it goes.

10. Nathan - another newb that I look forward getting to know.

11. Scott - I have played with Scott and am really looking forward to having him as an ally.

12. Sheree - My main girl. Always a good schemer and always someone that is fun to play with. My F2 partner for Morocco, not sure if we should go F2 here too, but we'll see.

13. Tom - Another newb I don't know.

14. Warren - I have played with Warren at Rob's game and he was fun to play with, so I am looking forward to seeing him again and playing with him again.


So with that let us move forward into the game with a clean slate...

So the first HOH was won by Warren, my good friend Jim from Rob's series. Jim and I got along really well so I am hoping that Warren and I get along here. He didn't nominate me so that's a good sign. Mitch and Tom went up, which is puzzling. Mitch is becoming famous for getting targeted first because he always comes into games with Liz, Jake, JP, etc. But this game it looks like Liz might be his only companion, and he did ask me to work with him. While we are on that subject, so did Liz. Hmmm am I the "Jake" for this game?

Also newbie Tom has been chatting me up, and I like him a lot, so techinically I don't want either of these people to go home. I might have to work hard to win POV and save Tom. Newbies shouldnt' go out first that's just mean.

So far, my allies are:
• Sheree
• Mitch
• Liz
• Warren
• Tom
---------------
~Scott - not sure about him anymore as he stole from my boxes.

I haven't reached out to the Donnas yet but I don't want to overextend myself. I could stand to see Eric and Billy go. I am for sure that Eric has already locked up Donna.

Should be interesting.

So, I didn't even get to play in the POV so I had no chance of saving Mitch. The challenge was super hard, and I like it alot. Warren came up victorious again and has made himself a major threat already. Lets see how that plays out (good thing I am an ally of Warren).

So Warren wins and keeps the noms the same (duh) and now either Tom or Mitch is going home. Mitch had asked me to work with him this time around, but I just don't think I can. He wouldn't do it for me if I were in this pickle.

So a pretty uneventuful week, but I am sure its going to start getting tricky soon. I feel bad voting out Mitch but I have to. Oh these games!

Yang was your F2 in Morocco, Sheree wasn't even in that game...
