Round One

[Dolly Neely]

So apparently the twist is that (for now at least) there are no tribes. I like it. I am down with it. I like that the bottom half of the challenge people are going to TC. This is a huge incentive to attempt every challenge as well as you can to avoid going. It is also a good idea NOT to do the best at each challenge so as not to be seen as a target that way, so it's really interesting as a twist because how much is too much and how little is too little?

I hate posting challenges, and our first one is to post as many times as possible over the next 2 days. I am gonna make it fun at least, since you can only post once every ten seconds, I have decided to write about my sheep in each post. Just to be funny and have a laugh with it.

Hopefully I am not in the bottom half of the cast. Several people haven't even checked in yet.

I am exhausted. I am so tired of looking at the screen ahhahaa. I bet a lot of people are feeling the same.

I am attempting to talk to everyone one on one, and also in the main chat but people aren't being receptive.

[Dolly Neely]

I just finished my fiftieth page of posting. Taking a fucking break. My neck hurts. I have the day off from work so I can do it more throughout the day, but I want to spend a lot of it relaxing. Hopefully people are at work and not just inactive or God forbid avoiding me.

Opinions? Fine.

Spencer - I like the guy. He and I talked a lot on night one, and he was more engaging than half of the people I chat with. He worked last night so he wasn't present that much in the main chat, and when he finally got home I was so tired I was falling asleep at the keyboard, so i had to go to sleep. Hopefully I can reconnect with him today.

Dan - I have chatted with Dan here and there, and a couple times, he initiated it, so that makes me feel good. I plan to message him again today and solidify whatever game relationship we have. Just for a number if anything.

Silas - He seems like the black sheep of this game, but a lot of people seem to be very close with him already, as though they have played with him before. He did message me last night before bed though, worried about being disliked. I dunno. I don't think he is as disliked as he wants some of us to believe, so I am cautious with him.

Crystal - I chatted with her a lot the first night as well. She is nice and we chatted about random things aside for the game. TV and such. I talked to her in the group chat this morning as well, so at least I am making myself present in her eyes.

Tasha - I hit ti off with Tasha the first night. Yesterday I messaged her again to further a chat and we talk a little while but then she told me she would prefer to chat in the main blast chat. So much for an alliance there I guess.

Josh - He was very absent the first night and then was on a lot yesterday. He messaged me but then when I replied he left it and then logged off. I think he might just be dumb.

Adam - Meh, he is funny in the group chat and I have talked with him a little one on one. I would message him again, but I don't wanna come off too strong on the first round, and make people think I am playing hard already. It's hard though, because the paranoia part of me tells me that it's already happening among the rest of them.

Chelsea - Ugh. Chelsea is my least favourite Survivor ever! Like in real life, not on here. AND that is saying something because Missy exists. I hated Chelsea ( and her awful season) so much that I contemplated not watching the season anymore because something about her face made me instantly angry. SO poor Chelsea in this season, because I already have something against her. Saying that, she WAS the very first person I messaged on night one, and she never responded, and still hasn't. ALSO, she accidentally posted something in the main chat that was meant for a private message and so I know she IS close with other people. Bitch LOL. Anyhow, all of that shadiness topped with the fact I hate her IRL makes me want to become really close to her and then betray her in this game.

Tina - She seems nice, and she messaged me this morning. I replied and she let the conversation drop immediately, so I can tell she was just doing it to make the rounds and not because she actually wants to play with me.

Colton - I know that AIM screenname from somewhere. I am trying to think of where. Also the mention of tennis rings a bell. I should message him in case it is who I think it is and although I have to make him like Dolly rather than myself, I think I can do that. If it isn't who I think it is then I will just hopefully look friendly.

Sierra - She is dumb.

Jaclyn - I chatted a lot with her last night and hope to again today. I really felt like she was giving me a chance. I hope so. If I can shoot the shit with her again today then I will try to make something work there.

Keith - I haven't had any interaction with him other than one time in the blast chat the first night. People are wondering where he is. He was really funny in his banter with Silas though, and I hoping he returns for entertainment's sake.

Kathy - I chatted with her quite a lot the first night but saw no sign of her last night. I am hoping she isn't one of those late night people because I always work in the morning. She seemed easy enough to talk to and hopefully there can be a (dare I say it) girl's alliance?

Erinn - She has shown up very briefly both nights. I haven't had a response from her to anything I have said, but maybe she is just busy or not trying too hard too early.

Cirie - She did contact me but our conversation wasn't amounting to anything. I know she is posting away. Maybe she feels too comfortable and doesn't need to chat people up as much.

Robb - He was really chatty the first night. Yesterday he did reply to things I said in the main chat, so I am not writing him off. He seems like a laid back person.

Marcus - He has been around but I haven't had a good one-on-one interaction with him. Hopefully I can at some point today.

I was looking at the check in thread and Tyler and Stephen haven't said anything to anyone I don't think. I may have missed someone but I don't know.

[Dolly Neely]

Spencer just messaged me and said he was on page 60. He seems open and honest with me, so hopefully he is who I can work with.

Also, there are people that know each other somehow and I can't tell if it's from a past game or something. I can tell by the familiarity a couple people had and then suddenly messaging me at the exact same time. AND when I was chatting with someone (fuck me I forget who), I was talking about another person and they replied with, "Oh yeah he is always like that." I made some comment about it and they were like "errr, I mean on the show."  I am not stupid.

A lot more tells than that have happened but it's kinda good that I notice because I can hopefully try to trip people up publicly, kinda like stupid Chelsea already did. I can hopefully use it to my advantage, rather than feel defeated already.

Dolly is going to try things.

[Dolly Neely]

Holy fuck, am I tired of posting. I still feel like everyone else had nothing to do and posted their lives away, but maybe I am wrong. I know Robb has stopped and Spencer said he was on page 60, and has Keith even shown up? I may continue a bit here and there, but not stress too much more over it.

Also, we were told to leave a boot list before TC happens. I shall go to the check in thread to remember who is all playing. I will make it now in case I forget.

Sheep.

[Dolly Neely]

Robb and Tasha are being Chatty Cathys right now so I will keep the social up, despite wanting to go and watch another episode of Arrow. Man, Stephen Amell is hot. Nnnf!

anyhow, I will keep chatting with them and talking about the mundane things we talk about instead. FML. No not my life, the next couple of hours. FMNCOH!

[Dolly Neely]

Chelsea contacted me This is gon' be funnnnn!!

[Dolly Neely]

Ugh I am exhausted. I did 1400 points and hope it's enough. I may poop.

[Dolly Neely]

I am safe, which I am happy about. I will at least make round 2. I am just trying to still keep in touch with certain people, to try to make those connections I will need for whenever I do go to TC.

I am really interested that we Pharaohs get asked questions at TC as well. I am glad that there will be participation on everyone's part. I am interested to see what people are going to say.

[Host Jeremiah]

Stephen Amell's a qt.

[Dolly Neely]

So I answered my TC questions. There really are some cons to being immune, actually. Since it's the first round it would really help to know where we all stand with everyone. For example, if I got along swimmingly with everyone and then went to TC and received a few votes I would be blown away and hop into spy mode, trying to suss them all out. It also makes people start talking to you more. Like right now nobody needs my vote to keep them safe at this TC so I am only being approached by the people not at TC.

[Dolly Neely]

Another thing! I hope for all the work I put into my challenge thread, that you read them ALL.


THERE WILL BE A QUIZ!!!

[Dolly Neely]

Shit annoys me. Daily. With regards to this game, these are some things:

1. Tyler posted only the following in the TC thread, not even making an effort to post nicely: "It sucks to lose especailly the first challenge, there never a benefit to go to TC because you could be going home"

You should go home, fool!! At least when Keith barely showed up like you, he was funny and provided something of a conversation. You have been online with a working AIM, and talked a little, but only a little. I Honestly, and not just saying it to be funny, forgot you were playing this game until I looked at the signups to organize a boot list.

2. People never respond. I am not a needy player. Not by a long shot. I dont need people talking to me all the time, and for those of you that know me, you know I dont like being overwhelmed, but something. Anything. I messaged a few people right when we started with just a hello message and now that it's day 3 I still haven't heard form a few people back. The game is a social game, and yes we're all busy, but there is no way in Hell they're busier than I am. Even Chelsea talks to me. Sometimes.

3. The challenge. Why did nobody really try? A few of us were really high posters, but I only did that many because I thought the 1200 record would be an Average score since it was a benchmark given to us. People made it seem like I was only POSSIBLY gonna be safe after they asked how many posts I had, so I thought I might be in the bottom half. Give it an effort. Yes, I had the day off yesterday, but I also go to bed way earlier than a lot of them. Make an effort. I will probably rearrange my next boot list to rank these fucks in order of who gave a shit.

4. Erinn. Who? No one knew you were playing either, and everyone I spoke to said you weren't responsive and never online. Then you got the highest posting score of everyone? I was so impressed by your challenge effort, but there is no way for me to say so to you because again you never respond. And since you're not involved in any of the chats and you're never socializing online (at least to several peoples' knowledge), why are you bothering? Fuck you. (for now)

5. I feel like no one is doing confessionals that much. Every time I bring it up with a fellow castaway they said "Oh I need to do one!" This is an ALIAS game. Isn't most of the fun drawn from being your character? Isn't most of the fun after the game ends, rereading things and having a good laugh, especially if you keep good records of your journey in the game? Perhaps meeting new people and playing a part and writing about your experience isn't what these games are for. My bad.

6. Fucking Zach doesn't give me free wine.
