~Anticipation~
It's weird that we're actually communicating pre-game. It makes me feel a bit uneasy, because it adds a ~new element~ if you will. It's hard to craft a strategy right now, because obviously I haven't gotten any concrete vibes from anyone yet.
One thing I did pick up on however, was how Ozzy said his internet connection is bad. If that is a recurring problem, it might be a good idea to get rid of him right away. In a previous ORG, we had a tribe of nine. Only four people were active, so we simply picked off the people who never bothered to show up. We managed to weed out four of the five inactives pre-mrge while still having the majority in the merge.
However, the one we didn't get the chance to vote off pre-merge unexpectedly showed up once the merge came and flipped to the other tribe. The other tribe, along with the traitor of our original tribe, proceeded to pick us off one by one. She then ended up making the Final 2, losing in a 6-1 vote.
Ozzy just gives me those vibes, and it really makes me mad that someone who did absolutely nothing pre-merge ended up getting farther than myself. I don't want that to happen again. If Ozzy ends up my tribe, he's gone as soon as I have the numbers.
By the way, when does this game officially begin? I'm getting anxious.

~Shocker~
This twist is absolutely scary. In my last ORG, I was absolutely horrible at challenges. It's very alarming that I have a 20% chance of going right off the bat. I don't want that to happen at all. I knew that I probably wasn't going to be the first one out, but now it looks like I very well may be. I chose Endurance because I'm guessing we have to post something once a minute and if you are either late or early then you're out. Puzzle-making was definitely out cause I'm sure it's "whoever solves this puzzle last is eliminated". The flag and story ones turned me off because I'm guessing that they're creativity-based challenges and I'm not a creative person. Endurance is obviously the one where the playing ground is completely even. It has an upside and a downside. It'll be the easiest for me personally, but obviously everyone else who signed up for Endurance was probably going through the same thought process as me. There's no advantages or disadvantages. I would be really, really mad if I left this early.

~The Idol~ I'm in possession of a clue for the Hidden Immunity Idol, and in all honestly, I have no clue what it is. I've tried, but I really have no idea. A Hidden Immunity Idol would be great, but it doesn't look like I'm gonna figure this one out anytime soon.

~Victorious~ Our tribe won, and I'm ecstatic. I know at this point I'm probably somewhat of a target, and I haven't really talked to anyone about strategy, and no one has really approached me yet, so this gives me more time to get myself into a majority alliance. Corinne looks solid, I wouldn't mind making an alliance with her.

~Threat~ I think I'm a threat because I have the highest post count. People may look at me and think, "Wow Stephen has a really high post count. He must mean business." They might expect for me to be some big power player, but I don't think that's the case. My post count means I want to be here, and I took the necessary precautions in order to make sure I wasn't gone in that first challenge. That could work for me or against me. The upside is, "Wow he must be really dedicated to this game. I know I could always count on his vote" but the downside is, "Wow he must be really dedicated. Let's get him out as soon as possible since he's playing the game the hardest."

As per Tom's request:
1) Who are you main allys as of now? Corinne and Shane. We seem to do well together at the challenges, and we're pretty much an understood but "unofficial" alliance at the moment. I don't think any of us are gonna vote the other one out.
2) Has your strategy changed in the game so far? Well, this has nothing to do with strategy, but I didn't think I was going to do so well in the challenges. In my last ORG, I really sucked, but this time around, I feel like an MVP.
3) Do you think others view you as a threat? Definitely. I'm really worried that Yau-Jonathan-Sierra-Eliza could make a counter alliance to get rid of Shane, myself, and Corinne. It's a move with pros and cons. The pro is that they will have the majority, and the threats will be gone. But the con is that they're going to eliminate the reasons why we've won so many challenges as a whole.
4) Who do you view as a threat? As stated in my other question, Yau-Man, Jonathan, Sierra, and Eliza. There's no doubt in my mind that Peih-Gee will be walking out soon due to being inactive, but I'm just really worried about the under-the-radar members of our tribe.

~The Merge Looming~ I'm assuming that this game is going to be a Final 3 with a jury of 9. That means with the ejection of Peih-Gee (which I'm certain is going to happen) and someone getting voted off Singand, I've come to a conclusion that a merge is upon us. Whether my assumptions are true or not, we'll find out soon enough. I personally would not like a merge because I'm confident that Zeapore could easily win any tribe challenge. And in the rare chance we might lose, as long as I'm on the jury, I'm somewhat content. But I do want to win really bad. And I feel like I'm playing a good game. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Do you think you are well positioned at the moment Stephen? Obviously you are good in challenges but does your social and strategic game match up with your challenge ability?
