A TRIBE SWAP! AHHH!

First of all, Welcome to Tamanaco! I'm Mia, from Stranded in Costa Rica! And I'm running confessionals over here!

Anyways, how do you feel about this swap? Are you happy about who you ended up with? What's the plan moving forward?

Also, what do you think of Kim J's choices to send away?

And what do you make of Sarah's choice to send over who she did?

As always, fill us in on any new developments!

First of all, Welcome to Tamanaco! I'm Mia, from Stranded in Costa Rica! And I'm running confessionals over here!

Oh Herro.

Anyways, how do you feel about this swap? Are you happy about who you ended up with? What's the plan moving forward?

I sooo upset right now. i was in such a good position over at the other tribe. I can't beleive Sarah would put me in jeopardy like that. Guess she has her own twisted plan. But no one is going to suck up to her as well as I did. I just hope she doesnt flip on our old tribe. I wouldn't put it past her. But enough pouting, time to get to work making some new friends. <3 <3 <3

I can't say what my plan is for sure but i want to start talking with the new members of the tribe. It sucks becasue there is 8 of us. and immunity breaks the tie....so if we even want to have a sot we need to flip not only one, but two. And the likelyhood of that happening is slim to none, exspecially since the leader probably kept who she was close with on the tribe and sent away the ones who she wasnt. Its a really fusterating aspect that I'm a sitting duck.

Also, what do you think of Kim J's choices to send away?

They are probably all the players who I would have felt comfortable talking to. All the people on this tribe seem to be really old and intimidating.

And what do you make of Sarah's choice to send over who she did?

I mean i got 2 solid allies her, but it sucks becasue if we lose then if I dont go a good ally gets voted out. My only option is to win. I wouldnt put it past this group to throw challenges to make their tribe safe though.

As always, fill us in on any new developments!

Maybe....

[Sean]

I'm just kidding!!!! there are only 7 left on each tribe.... I'm bad at math apparently. Makes me feel a bit better. Time to flip a bird into a frog.

[Sean]

That hidden immunity idol is mocking me. I dont even have an idea of how to get it unless it has something to do with what sarah sent me. I just want to figure out how to get clues or maybe im missing it.

Fixed up some grammer. Now to think up a speech for tribal, and pray that no one else has cracked it yet and wil know these are fake.

Dear Tamanco,

It has been great getting to know you during our time together here on this tribe. As you may have noticed I took an unexpected absence at this challenge. For that I do apologize but I felt it was in my best intrest to do so. While I really enjoyed getting to know the 4 old Tamanaco, it has become apparent to me that the four of yo are really tight and it will be one of the three of us going tonight. And as Vee and the General both were actively helping tonight, I can only assume that the four of you have discussed it and I will be the one who will be leaving. However, now the time for private chat is over and all we have eft to do if discuss in this forum. So I present you with this:

Tonight I WILL be playing one of these idols on myself and another one either the General or Vee. Whomever I decide. I assume the 4 of you have already decided to vote for me. So here is the deal. Tonight myself, the vee, and general will be voting for ______. You can risk it and decide to vote for General or Vee with a 50/50 shot of being right and sending them home, or vote with us and take out _________. It will only take one of you. But if you do risk it and get it wrong _______ goes home anyways.

_______ you could also try and tie it and save yourself. Someone must be at the bottom of you 4, with Kim on your side you would be able to break the tie if it goes 3-3-1.

After this vote the old Tamanaco will still have majority if you vote with us. It'll be 3-3 but Kim holds immunity and will break the ties.



**** def needs some fine tuning.

Are lurkers just people who once played that watch the game or do you have a role with the HII. Cause your rare and far between.

lol Please don't PM the lurkers. That is like trying to ask the TV audience on the show where the idol is.

Here is an explanation I gave when someone else asked about them.

Okay please forgive me but what are lurkers?

Lurkers are the players from past games - the alumni - who have their own private forums over at the ruins to post in. They can see all the public stuff (i.e. not you confessional or the host's blogs) and they banter with each other, commentate on your play, run little sweepstakes on who is killing it and who the next boot will be etc. Basically think of them as the tv audience.

Once this Season is over, you are welcome to join the alumni, and lurk on future Seasons. Or if you really want, go back and check out older Seasons

Everyone who has played is welcome to, but not everyone does. If you go to the ruins and check out the members page, you will see we have around 25 past players lurking this Season, and you can see from their post counts how active or not they are.

Sorry i wasn't quite sure what they were. And they appear at random times and places. I thought they might have something to do with it. Thanks for the explanation. I didn't mean to break any rules.

I can only assume that the four of you have discussed it and have decided upon who will be leaving. However, now the time for private chat is over and all we have eft to do if discuss in this forum. Although I would have loved to have waited I think that it's now or never. So I present you with this:

Tonight I WILL be playing these idols on two of the three of us. Whomever I decide. I assume the 4 of you have already decided to vote for me. So here is the deal. Tonight myself, the vee, and general will be voting for FRANK. We think that though she is sweet, the three of us can be of more value to this tribe. You can risk it and decide to vote for us with a 1/3 shot of being right and sending them home, or vote with us and take out FRANK. It will only take one of you. But if you do risk it and get it wrong FRANK goes home anyways.

FRANK, you could also try and tie it and save yourself. With Kim on your side you would be able to break the tie if it goes 3-3-1. Someone must be on the bottom of the three of your alliance, and if you think its you maybe you vote with us for FRANK.

After this vote the old Tamanaco will still have majority if you vote with us. It'll be 3-3 but since Kim holds immunity, she will break the ties.

[Sean]

My plan for this next round is to do what is stated above (perhaps voting someone tother then Frank? still undecided) . However, I dont want to reveal that they are fake. Since they wont work anyways I'm not going to use either of them and have jeff reveal that they are not real. Instead im going to hold on to them and pray that either someone switches their vote or its not me out of the three of us. That way next round we still hold the bluff, and still have some leverage. Because we will still be down, since Kim breaks ties. So if they still believe that I have them in my pocket, then next round we might be able to make a deal or two and stick around.

I just REALLY HOPE that no one has actually found an idol yet. That would be disastrous. I'd be aluminum foiled.
