Stranded in Portugal

Welcoem to ~tha merge~

Okay. Real talk. This is where the real game begins. Season after season, we see players squander a chance to win it all by playing safe and assuming they can follow their "surefire" path to the end all while playing quietly in the shadows. This is where the game is either won or lost, all while some realize and some don't.

While we aren't telling you to go batshit crazy, we're here to ask you: What have you done, or what can you do to leave your mark on this game in a way that you would expect a jury to award you with the win?

Next, let's talk numbers. We merged 5/4/3, therefore, if tribe unity runs deep, no single tribe can get a majority. On top of this, there are partnerships and secret partnerships. How do you plan to work through this complex web to make it through the next vote?

Let's talk allies. Who do you think you have on your side?

Enemies. Who is against you, and who do you want gone?

That's all for now. Talk to us and we will keep picking your brain for more!

Good luck players! Play smart, but don't forget to play hard! We're all rooting for you!

WOAH that's a lot of words

Caryn Groedel, at the merge. Wat :|

GJ you!

CHAOS IS ENSUING.

So yeah, pretty much everybody realized how sketchy Cochran/Vytas our, and pretty much everyone knows they're secret friends. I was nervous Becky might still trust Cochram but even she realizes how sketchy Cochran is.

But of course they won Immunity so now we can't vote either of them out.


So now I'm weighing my options on the other 9:

Becky- I'm close with her
Coby- He's a returnee, don't want to get rid of him
Shawn- My secret friend
Katie- Apparently were good friends outside of the game? She said she knows me.
Ralph- He's a returnee, don't want to get rid of him
Marissa- Don't give a shit about her
Ibe- Close with him
Semhar- Returnee
Rachel- Don't give a shit about her


So really the only people I want to see gone our Marissa/Rachel. And right now I'm leaning towards Rachel cause Ibe wants the talismans, apparently Rachel was in a power position at Bracari, and Becky's not fond of Rachel either.

So yeah, wouldn't mind getting rid of Rachel.

And right now I'm trying to pretend I want to work with Cochran/Vytas so they don't get suspicious.

And Rachel IMMEDIATELY told Becky about what went down at Tapoli's TC last night, so that just makes me want to get rid of her more.

And Katie really wants to work with me cause she says were good friends outside of the game. The only problem with that is that Katie is saying she is good buddies with Vytas, the same person who I (and other people) want gone.

And Shawn told me Vytas is already trying to pull in him & Ralph and Shawn let Ralph know that Vytas can't be trusted. Good boy Shawn.

Go fuck yourself Jeff, you didn't have to mention my fucking name in that shit. I'm not the one being "reviewed' here

If I get voted out cause of this it will most certainly be the last you see of Caryn.

Promise?

Shut up.

Coby just approached me for a F2 deal so of course I said yes.

Now I have close partnerships with Ibe, Coby, Becky, Semhar, Shawn.

I also told Cochran/Vytas I would work with them.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure I got all my bases covered and I'm not going anywhere soon.

So here is the plan right now:

NuLimici (Coby/Ralph/Shawn/Becky) and NuTapoli sans Rachel (Me/Ibe/Semhar) plan to join forces and create a solid 7 majority.

It also means that us returnees can work together to take out the newbies cause they're untrustworthy.

Cochran obviously is a weasel and can't be trusted so we're replacing him with Shawn, who has no solid connections with the newbies and wants to work with us.

And the plan right now is to vote off Rachel because she's a crazy bitch, thisleaving the 3 NuBracaris to fend for themselves.

This is good for me cause I have solid connections with pretty much everyone in this alliance except for probably Ralph. I have F2 deals with Coby/Shawn/Ibe and solid connections with Becky/Semhar, although Becky & Semhar never openly stated they want to be in a F2 with me.

I think I'm going to tell Cochran/Vytas that Rachel is leaving so they don't get suspicous of me and it will show that the majority of the tribe just wanted to vote off Rachel.

Let me just get this straight - your "plan" is to take out a Tapoli?

Is this game still Vets vs noobs for you?

It is, although I do want to keep Shawn safe cause he's my friend, but I don't know if I would have the numbers to keep him around.

Rachel is crazy, parnoid, and she tried to target me. That's no bueno in my book and I don't give a fuck if she's a Tapoli cause I don't need her in this game. I already have all my bases covered and when it's all said and done I could be leaving Portugal with a Grand Slam.

Nothing has changed, although now I have a F2 with Cochran.

Am I really that charming, persuasive, and charismatic? It seems like everyone wants to go to the F2 with me. I'm not surprised, but still...

Everyone loves a goat!

Just kidding girl. So which of these many final deals do you feel most true to?

Uh, whichever one will take me further in the game

Emphasis on the you. Which one do you trust the most right now - before you get to see which will take you furthest.

Probably Ibe, with Shawn right behind him.

I don't really trust Coby with his F2 deal because he told me in his PM on Thursday night that he always wanted to work with me in this game. So, if you always wanted to work with me why didn't you ask me back on Limici?

I fooled Vytas into thinking that I'm with him and now he wants Me/Him/Cochran/Rachel/Marissa/Semhar in an alliance.

I told him I would get Semhar on our side, but I'm not telling her shit

He's going to be in a shock come Sunday. And I'm not worried about his idol (yes, he has it) cause he would want to keep me around for the talismans even though I'm betraying him.

So Rachel knows she's leaving and is going on a witch hunt, and of course some idiot told her I'm gunning for her.

Do people not know how to keep their mouths shut? For fuck's sake, now I have to damage control on Rachel. She's still leaving tomorrow, but I don't want her to try and pull some crazy shit.

I see you've taken your trolling up a notch.
