Thiago GVSE: (6:13:40 PM) and [Mark] told me that he only joined this game because Ben pleaded him to, as a friend, so he did, and since the game started Ben has pushing him aside once ben's group starting to get an upper hand, and that ben refused to switch the vote to avoid the purple rock. and now mark is gone.
It's a shame, about Mark. You can tell that he's got a passion for the game of Survivor. He's a very good player. However, it's clear that Mark's life has other plans for him than this game, and he prolly shouldn't of been playing.
Thiago GVSE: (6:15:09 PM) and it reminded me of what's happened with me and ellen. i initially told justin no to AS because i have a lot on my plate, and i felt i had spent less time with my bf as a result and felt guilty about that, and also i had a summer class on my plate as well
Thiago GVSE: (6:15:16 PM) but ellen told me to please play, for her, so i did
Thiago GVSE: (6:15:53 PM) and then by about round 2 or 3 , once she found the idol, she completely started to ignore me and then i found out all tehse things she's been saying about me behind my back and it really hurt. she tried to get mark mad at me a few days ago, mark came to me this morning and just spilled beans
Thiago GVSE: (6:16:04 PM) so i had a bit of an altercation with her and asked her to stop speaking to me
Between these two stories, it shows just how personal this game is getting for some people. I'm about to say something, and I hope people don't take it as being OTTN or mean...
I don't care.
It's a cold way to say it, but it's true. If you were too busy to play this game, don't sign up. It's also just as pathetic, to me, to beg your friends to sign up for a game so that you can do better (at their expense).
I signed up for GVSE 2 and played against a bunch of people who knew each other, and I came in second. I barely was a PW and didn't talk about All Stars with anyone until the game started. So, like, don't expect sympathy from me when your pre-game doesn't work out. I guess I don't know what response they expect me to have.
The experience of the last few rounds has taught me that I have been and need to continue to be a Lone Ranger in these games. Why do I gravitate towards that persona? I think I care just as much as everyone else... maybe it just is a reflection of being a little bit older and having so many positive things going on in other areas of my life.
We'll see how this round goes, but I think I need to let people continue to open up to me in this personal way, even if I don't feel sympathetic, so that I can get past 10th place... which is the vibe I'm getting about where I'd currently finish.
