[align=center]This round, from my standpoint anyway, is turning out to be exactly like last round, except without Bilbo here. As far as I know Bilbo was pretty much an island. He was the next in line should Frodo be immune (which he was) and no one felt super close to him or anything like that. I liked him a lot and I enjoyed talking with him, but even though he and I both wrote a lot to each other, we never had any kind of deal. He spoke in such generalizations - which was fine for me becuase I wasn't really looking for ANOTHER deal or alliance, so I hope he doesn't feel burned by me or anything. It sucks he couldn't even be here though, especially becuase he is one of the more active players. And he played a great Bilbo. An obvious fan of the trilogy! Anyway, I am in the same position I was in earlier, I think. The middle, kind of. Since there truly isn't really any sides to this game, it is hard to be in the middle. But I guess if Frodo himself is considered a side, then yes, I am in the middle. Because as much as I thought Balrog/Gollum/Gala were super with him, they act as if they are not. Galadriel set up a deal between myself and them three, but no mention of Frodo. All they say is "I wouldn't mind Frodo winning becuase he wouldn't put us up," nothing about trying to work with him or anything. Which is odd. They must expect me to really want Frodo out. They are probably afraid that if they try to get a deal with Frodo I may run back to the other "side" and they will be even more targets then they already are. Idk. Or maybe they are cutting ties to The Shire becuase it is sinking fast. Frodo is awesome. I wish their was an easier way of saving someone in this game. With so much depending on challenge wins, rounding up support for someone is most of the time useless. I have been pushing to everyone that we needs those stupid HIIs out before those three make it to the F7 (and get one of them out), so hopefully that will turn people off from Frodo. Idk, he made himself such a giant target - owning at comps, controlling The Shire, NOT voting off Gandalf at The Shire, and then being voted out an coming back in. People are so set on him leaving it is crazy. What's even more crazy is Frodo is a very good players. He knows what he is doing in PMs, he is charming, witty, in character. It's not everyday you see someone will all these skills just have no luck wooing people. It is probably also this cast. They love to have a target, PM once of twice a day, and be done with it. THere is little movement happening right now. People are stagnant, awaiting Frodo's departure. Which might not come for a while. If I win HoH I am not putting him up and I will piss a lot of people off, but fuck that. Frodo in the game is a good ally and he keeps the target off just about everyone. There is also talks of making alliance within this big group of eight we have going. Basically everyone except Frodo/Gala/Balrog/Gollum is in an alliance. And within that alliance there are plenty of sub-alliances. The biggest being the group of six non-Mordors. That is the group people keep stressing to me about. Well not people but just the Gandalf/Aragorn/Pippin side of it. They may be worried people see them as a trio, so they might be trying to act as if the six of us are tight so no one tries to make a move against them. I do like all of them. Pippin is very awesome when he is here, so I hope he isn't playing me. He might be though. He says we should work together within that group 6. And we both realize we are assumed to be with a certain side of that group of 6, so us working together would make perfect sense. And I am sure Gandalf/Legolas/Orc have a deal. If not, Gandalf and Legolas do. So there are plenty of little connections and stuff that make this group of 6 not the strongest deal ever. That and people like Nazgul, especially Eomer, so I could see him in some deals as well. IF the game were actually to go down to this group of 8 (which is won't), then I truly do not know where everyone's loyalties would lie. Tonight everyone is expecting Big Brother. Which idk, I could see One Ring again. Big Brother is better becuase it leaves more options for targets. The One Ring would be shitty becuase then I know those three with HIIs would probably be immune anyway so they wouldn't need to use it. They might not even use them in a One Ring situation. So I am kind of hoping for Big Brother. A single is fine. That way maybe Gollum can win again, get rid of these idols, and then target Nazgul. I actually like Nazgul but I want those HIIs gone, so hopefully someone wins that will put those people up. Pippin said he would, but would he really put up Gandalf? If it is Big Brother, then obviously all lies on the HoH. I will try to predict who everyone would put up, but it is tough because there are three people that are not really eligible. My only care truly is that Gandalf, Orc or Legolas don't win. I would hope whoever wins (if its not them) would nominated at least one of them to get rid of the HII. [/align] |

Also, Legolas is either not interested in working with me (or me in general) anymore, or his social game has literally fell off the face of the earth. I know PMs can be annoying sometimes, but lord, he hardly answers them and then constantly tells me sorry but he hates to PM. Maybe he just assumes I am with him implicitly and does not feel the need to discuss things with me? Its frustrating. |

Not using my HII (I thought I could use it AFTER PoV noms), turned out to be a great move. But not for my heart. Whew, that was close. |

Thank you so much! And thank you to Shelob as well. I HATE nights like these, but then again, I kind of LOVE them at the same time. Hearts racing, people are being shifty in PMs. It's kind of a rush and it's why I love to ORG

Congrats much on surviving tonight! Were you really that worried? I mean, I can see it, but some people aren't smart here, so I am not surprised you were safe. ![]() And you still have your Immunity Idol. ![]() You can use it during ANY window that opens for Idols to be played at, keep that in mind for the future. |

I really was worried. If anyone here talked to both "sides" as much as I do, it would be easy for them to use that against me. I did think I was going to be safe though. That, and against Nazgul (no offense in anyway to him), but I think I have more connections. I may be a tad better at competitions too, so I am surprised I stayed. I thought Gandalf might have pushed for me to go becuase I am sort of a threat. Maybe I'm not though, idk. Fuck it, I am just glad I stayed. I have to thank my social skills for this one. I knew I made all these connections for a reason. Granted, I did not think I would be nominated if Galadriel won HoH, but tonight proves ANYTHING can happen. So I need to be prepared for just about anything. And thank you Gaga. I thought I could use it after PoV. When you reminded me I could not, my stomach dropped, hard. But I worked it in the voting window. Apparently I was freaking out for nothing, but I will always fight for votes until I see them read. I have a lot to talk about though, so tomorrow there will be a longer update. |
