Bill V: (9:22:29 AM) Hi
Mark GVSE: (9:22:58 AM) hey man, what's up?
Mark GVSE: (9:23:02 AM) how was your weekend?
Bill V: (9:23:22 AM) It was really fun! I'm ready to settle back into the week, tho
Bill V: (9:23:28 AM) i'm tired
Bill V: (9:23:31 AM) how are you?
Mark GVSE: (9:23:32 AM) where'd ya go?
Mark GVSE: (9:23:38 AM) I'm goood....vacation starting tomorrow
Bill V: (9:23:41 AM) I was here, I had company over
Bill V: (9:23:52 AM) Cool! What are you and the fam going to be doing?
Mark GVSE: (9:24:50 AM) we are dropping the baby off in east Texas, then heading up to Hot Springs, Arkansas
Mark GVSE: (9:24:54 AM) first alone vacation in 2 years
Bill V: (9:27:16 AM) awww, well, well deserved
Mark GVSE: (9:29:02 AM) have you been around at all this weekend? or totally disconnected from the game?
Bill V: (9:30:37 AM) Yesterday morning I got the scoop quickly from Thaigo
Bill V: (9:30:52 AM) and then Kirin left me a PM about the challenge
Bill V: (9:31:05 AM) AJ*
Mark GVSE: (9:31:12 AM) yeah
Mark GVSE: (9:31:18 AM) these people are cracking me up
Bill V: (9:31:28 AM) what has u crackin up?
Mark GVSE: (9:31:50 AM) just that one group over there flexing their muscles a la Marquesas
Mark GVSE: (9:31:58 AM) and then everyone freaking out about it
Bill V: (9:32:46 AM) ah, yeah i bet that is pretty funny (although I've actually never seen Marquesas )
Mark GVSE: (9:33:01 AM) LOL....so you have no idea what I'm referencing
Bill V: (9:33:07 AM) i know in general
Bill V: (9:33:43 AM) I heard Cassie got voted out…. with the idol.
Bill V: (9:33:48 AM) err Chase
Mark GVSE: (9:33:52 AM) Chase, yeah
Bill V: (9:34:00 AM) *slaps forehead*
Bill V: (9:34:12 AM) I wonder if his idol will get rehidden
Mark GVSE: (9:34:21 AM) per the rules, it's supposed to be
Mark GVSE: (9:34:52 AM) I haven't seen anything unless it's going to be confined to Proelia
Bill V: (9:35:26 AM) The rules only state about when it's played, tho
Mark GVSE: (9:35:39 AM) ah, that's true
Bill V: (9:35:45 AM) so its not certain, i think
Mark GVSE signed off at 9:36 AM.
Mark GVSE is offline
Mark GVSE signed on at 9:36 AM.
Bill V: (9:36:47 AM) in regards to our tribe, I think we gotta be alright as long as Ben and Ellen don't score immunity, right?
Mark GVSE: (9:37:14 AM) I think it looks that way
Mark GVSE: (9:37:37 AM) Don't know how deep Ben really is in with them
Bill V: (9:38:34 AM) yeah, but given that Ellen will likely play the idol
Mark GVSE: (9:38:38 AM) right
Mark GVSE: (9:38:50 AM) you know, I really hate playing Survivor this way
Mark GVSE: (9:38:59 AM) it's like Offensive All Stars all over again
Mark GVSE: (9:39:01 AM) *sigh*
Bill V: (9:39:36 AM) I guess because I'm not attached to these relationships, I don't see the nastiness like it was in O6
Bill V: (9:39:47 AM) but i know ppl are having a hard time
Bill V: (9:40:11 AM) as far as the game being played just about who knows who the best,
Bill V: (9:40:24 AM) I mean, I don't think it matters too much
Mark GVSE: (9:40:33 AM) I honestly don't think it does either
Mark GVSE: (9:41:08 AM) but whatever was going around, whether it was Gloria pm'ing everyone, or what it was, it's manufactured this line
Bill V: (9:41:48 AM) I guess I've been immune to it, always being immune
Bill V: (9:41:49 AM) haha
Bill V: (9:41:58 AM) I'm sad, I wanted to make it to merge without going to TC
Bill V: (9:42:13 AM) but I feel like, with the alliance we have
Bill V: (9:42:18 AM) who cares what the other ppl are saying
Bill V: (9:42:37 AM) We just need to be smarter than Chase
Bill V: (9:42:52 AM) which, Chase is nice, but that was really dumb
Mark GVSE: (9:42:56 AM) man....he's just not very....bright? when it comes to this game
Bill V: (9:43:04 AM) great guy, awful survivor
Mark GVSE: (9:43:09 AM) uh huh
Mark GVSE: (9:43:27 AM) seriously...I would have PLAYed that idol
Mark GVSE: (9:43:30 AM) no chances there
Mark GVSE: (9:43:43 AM) by the way, you knew I had one, right?
Bill V: (9:45:08 AM) It's the rumor I had heard, and no one was disputing it otherwise
Bill V: (9:45:15 AM) so i was cool with that
Mark GVSE: (9:45:29 AM) ok, well it's pretty much common knowledge, thanks to Dominic, or Gloria, or whoever
Mark GVSE: (9:45:40 AM) I just didn't want you to think I was keeping it from you
Mark GVSE: (9:45:47 AM) though, if I had my way, no one would know
Bill V: (9:45:53 AM) with so many in the game, i tend to forget about it usually
Bill V: (9:46:28 AM) I'm actually ok that Chase it out of the game, tbh, cuz that idol was causing problems on Legatu
Bill V: (9:47:26 AM) i also think it makes our alliance a bit more sound, come a merge
Mark GVSE: (9:47:38 AM) yeah, you have a point
Mark GVSE signed off at 9:47 AM.
Mark GVSE is offline
Mark GVSE signed on at 9:47 AM.
Bill V: (9:47:59 AM) oop i got booted
Bill V: (9:48:03 AM) if u said something
Bill V: (9:48:07 AM) Mark GVSE: (9:47:38 AM) yeah, you have a point
Mark GVSE signed off at 9:47 AM.
Mark GVSE: (9:48:10 AM) just that you had a point
Mark GVSE: (9:48:11 AM) yeah
Mark GVSE: (9:48:34 AM) and also, I'm glad Chase made his fatal mistake now rather than in the merge when it could have affected all of us
Bill V: (9:48:39 AM) for sure
Bill V: (9:48:53 AM) I mean, at the merge Cassie will join back up with AJ, but them as only a pair is pretty manageable I think
Bill V: (9:49:27 AM) and we'll hope Michael votes with us since he's in the minority over there as well
Mark GVSE: (9:50:07 AM) Do you know Dominic well, or talk to him at all?
Bill V: (9:50:27 AM) I know him, but we're not talking really this game
Bill V: (9:51:00 AM) i've never talked to Selena or Luca
Mark GVSE: (9:51:28 AM) I've never talked to them or Colleen
Mark GVSE: (9:52:56 AM) Dominic was trying to be really sneaky
Mark GVSE: (9:53:01 AM) I think he did a little too much too soon
Bill V: (9:53:22 AM) going back to what we talked about before with this series
Bill V: (9:53:32 AM) everything tends to be…. well…. exactly what it seems
Bill V: (9:53:35 AM) lol
Bill V: (9:53:43 AM) so i'm surprised chase got blindsided twice
Mark GVSE: (9:53:55 AM) I told him, told him, told him
Bill V: (9:53:57 AM) Dom does seem to be playing really hard
Mark GVSE: (9:54:02 AM) do not buy the crap Dominic is selling
Mark GVSE: (9:54:12 AM) and he did anyway
Mark GVSE: (9:54:33 AM) Dominic pretty much created this alliance with Aj, Chase, and I during the first round of this game
Mark GVSE: (9:54:42 AM) and shoved Chase as the "middle man"
Mark GVSE: (9:54:53 AM) since I knew Chase better, and Chase knew Dominic better
Mark GVSE: (9:55:01 AM) and then worked with me to find the idol
Mark GVSE: (9:55:07 AM) but he was also telling Gloria everything
Mark GVSE: (9:55:27 AM) and then (and he admitted this to me yesterday) he went and told Ellen how to find it and told her about mine)
Bill V: (9:56:10 AM) he tried to make it look like thaigo had the idol in our camp
Bill V: (9:56:25 AM) like, after he found it he came to me, because he really really wanted a f2 with me
Bill V: (9:56:35 AM) and he told me when he got it it was gone
Mark GVSE: (9:56:50 AM) lol....he *still* tells me I'm his number one
Bill V: (9:58:56 AM) so then i confronted thaigo about it, but was pretty sure after talking to him that he didn't have it
Bill V: (9:59:14 AM) so then chase tells me he had the idol all along
Bill V: (9:59:28 AM) tho i had thought he told me dom helped him find it, but idr exactly
Bill V: (9:59:43 AM) anyway, the moral of the story is that Chase had his hand in too many ppl's business
Bill V: (10:00:12 AM) and that + playing recklessly = leaving pre-merge with an idol
Mark GVSE: (10:02:24 AM) from what I know it's how he played Chronicles
Mark GVSE: (10:02:32 AM) and then Offensive was just a hot mess anyway
Mark GVSE: (10:02:54 AM) of course, that could be considered my fault
Mark GVSE: (10:03:08 AM) but I told him who knew each other so he wouldn't say the wrong things to the wrong people
Bill V: (10:03:19 AM) he was doomed from the start
Bill V: (10:03:22 AM) i think
Mark GVSE: (10:03:26 AM) yeah, I do too
Mark GVSE: (10:03:37 AM) no way he could have survived 6 boots in round 1
Bill V: (10:03:37 AM) dumb twist made it so no one from the outside could win
Bill V: (10:03:57 AM) tho, i guess that did kinda make it like the hunger games
Bill V: (10:03:58 AM) haha
Mark GVSE: (10:04:28 AM) yeah, pretty much. Can't fault it there
Bill V: (10:08:38 AM) so, i mean, the strategy we have for the comp is pretty sound, right
Mark GVSE: (10:09:04 AM) I think so, there are 7 of us
Bill V: (10:09:14 AM) is michael on board with this too?
Mark GVSE: (10:09:22 AM) so if we block them all from the top, we still have someone extra to win a top number
Mark GVSE: (10:09:36 AM) AJ said she texted him
Mark GVSE: (10:09:42 AM) he's doing 148
Bill V: (10:09:57 AM) I like how AJ just knows everyone's phone number
Mark GVSE: (10:10:16 AM) so you, Knox, and I have to decide between 145, 146, 147
Bill V: (10:10:22 AM) i'm doing 147
Mark GVSE: (10:10:28 AM) ok...I'll do 146
Bill V: (10:10:43 AM) yeah, double check with knox
Mark GVSE: (10:11:09 AM) she keeps telling me she wished you would sign on. I haven't told her you are invisible
Mark GVSE: (10:11:10 AM) lol
Bill V: (10:11:16 AM) AJ?
Mark GVSE: (10:11:19 AM) yes
Bill V: (10:11:25 AM) well i have to go to brunch soon
Bill V: (10:11:30 AM) so i didn't want to start up too many convos
Mark GVSE: (10:11:40 AM) totally get it
Bill V: (10:11:42 AM) i'm gonna put in a movie and do the comp after
Mark GVSE: (10:11:50 AM) I do that at night sometimes when I don't want to talk to everyone
Bill V: (10:11:50 AM) i'll be on AIM then
Mark GVSE: (10:11:58 AM) cool...enjoy brunch
Bill V: (10:12:04 AM) the posts don't have to be consecutive, right
Bill V: (10:12:09 AM) like, i can miss a minute
Mark GVSE: (10:12:16 AM) no just at least a minute apart
Bill V: (10:12:18 AM) i just can't do more than 1 a minute
Bill V: (10:12:18 AM) ok
Bill V: (10:12:20 AM) phew
Bill V: (10:12:29 AM) Things I suck at: posting exactly on time
Mark GVSE: (10:12:46 AM) lol...well i don't think that's any fault of your own
Mark GVSE: (10:12:52 AM) these boards don't often allow for that
Bill V: (10:13:36 AM) lol, my lack of focus also tends to hurt that
