I've been looking forward to play another survivor for a while now, so I am quite excited for this game. The last Arkham was a disappointment for me, so doing better than that will be my first goal here.

But really, time travel? I went through the game-related rules and didn't find any explanation about time travelling, so I'm just going to assume that the time travelling is a joke from the mods. After Doctor Who, the only way I would want to use time travel is to travel back in time and undo my application.

Onto the more serious stuff, my tribe. My tribe is ridiculous. I have played a couple of Survivor games by now, and this tribe is something I've never seen before. Two hours into the game everyone had already signed in, which immediately eliminated the chance of having any inactives. By now I've spoken with everyone, and I can only say the following: we will have no easy first boots. Normally there are always a couple of people who don't know how to hold a conversation and send oneliners, but not this time. Every single message I received was at least four or five lines. And while it's nice to have an active, strong tribe, it also makes me nervous. At this point I can't see what the power structure will be like, and if we end up losing the first challenge, we will have a difficult tribal council right away. Which means that I will have to start playing the game early on.

So, am I happy about my first 12 hours in this game? Yes and no. After a couple of hours in the game, Mad Hatter approached me asking for an alliance. I obviously accepted, so it does make me feel a bit more comfortable to know that I already have an ally. Off course, the question is whether or not I can trust an alliance offer three hours into the game? He does seem genuine about his intentions, so we'll see how things go. Hatter suggested to make a bigger alliance, but I'm not a big fan of that. Majority alliances are doomed to fail. Bringing too many people together in an alliance means that you can't keep things hidden, and the alliance will be destroyed from the inside. I prefer a lot of small deals, partnerships. That way no one knows who you're really working with, and it's always nice to keep others in the dark.

I could do a write-up about my tribemembers, but it's too early for that. At this point, my opinion about everyone would be the same: 'can hold a conversation, seems to know what he's doing'. I'm hoping that by the start of the challenge, I'll have spoken a bit more with them and who knows, maybe I'll have some more deals by then.

So at this point I'm closest to Bane. We got into an alliance and are discussing possibilities to gain control. Alfred is very boring, and while Ozy is very active his messages are subpar. Vee is the one who we both like the most, so it's not unlikely we'll end up working with him. Star is promising, but neither of us has talked enough with her to form an opinion.
Scratch this completely. When people respond to a 8 or 9 line message with one or two lines, I get annoyed (yes Vee and Star, I'm talking about you). They're not active and they're messages are just pretty dull. Ozy might not send the longest messages, but at least he is very active. Alfred actually sent me a really nice message, so I hope he can keep that up.

Update: he couldn't.

Ugh, I really don't think Mad Hatter is scum. I thought about going for a no lynch, but opted against it in the end. I think Red Arrow is the scum. At first I thought Beast was definitely town, but his last posts seemed a bit fishy so I'm not sure anymore.

Man, I was so happy I could meet some new people and they seemed pretty interesting (especially white rabbit). Turns out I am quite busy during the tribal council and have to do everything on my phone, and I end up drunk messaging some people. Great way to have first tribal council go like that.

I feel pretty bad that I didn't have time to respond to Star. She sent me three messages near the end of the tribal council and I never had time to respond and now I look like a total jerk. So Star if you ever read this I'm truly sorry it was not my intention to ignore you and I actually quite liked you..

[01] What did you think about the first tribal council you attended? Was the elimination a success, a shock, or a disappointment?
[02] What are your thoughts on the other tribe you'll be attending TC with?
[03] How has the twist changed your view on your own tribe? Will you be targeting someone different due to the possibility of another tribe's influence?
[04] Who would you like to eliminate here? Do you think you can get the votes for them?
[05] What alliances are currently in effect in your tribe? What about cross-tribe alliances?
[06] Who's your favorite spectator?
[07] How could things go spectacularly wrong for you?

1. It was both a succes and a disappointment. The vote was a success, but I'm very disappointed I didn't manage to talk more with the green tribe people. There were some very interesting people, but I was busy(/drunk) throughout the whole tribal council so I didn't manage to speak with them much, which I regret.

2. They seem to have a couple of strong players (Freeze, Armboy). The people from my Cell Block are people I quite liked as well, but they haven't gotten back to me which makes me sad.

3. No, not really. I hope they visiting tribe just lets us do our thing, without trying to make a move on one of us. I do feel pretty safe in my own tribe (although people are being really vague and inactive).

4. Vee, probably. Or Alfred. I do prefer to vote out Vee though, but I'm not really sure it's possible. People should start talking, especially Bane...

5. Me-Bane-Alfred, Me-Bane-Ozy are the ones I know of.

6. Oh, there are spectators in this game? They haven't really posted much in here, so I can't possibly have a favorite spectator at this point.

7. Well, if people decide to target me? Not sure how much support a vote for me would have, but with this visiting tribe things can get pretty chaotic and things could very well go wrong for me.

Does only having three members of Wonder City still in the game after this vote worry you?
