[7.1] Just great...

[bree]

Gloria's a rat. Wonderful. This means I either have to 1) Do damage control or 2) lie like a rug. This is highly situational, depending on if Starr knows that Gloria voted with her or not. I can play it off like I was the third vote, rather than that Gloria ALSO had the "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" strategy.

Let's see how this goes...

Fleur Du 10:11 pm
Bonjour Starr!
Starr Iski 10:11 pm
Hi!
Fleur Du 10:12 pm
How are you?
Starr Iski 10:12 pm
Good!
It's been a while.
Fleur Du 10:12 pm
Oui. I not been able to get on past few days.
I been busy.
Starr Iski 10:12 pm
I bet!
Did you see the results?
Fleur Du 10:13 pm
Oui. Good use of null. Glad you work out le puzzle!
Starr Iski 10:13 pm
It wasn't too hard!
Fleur Du 10:14 pm
It was harder to not speak with letters, oui?
Fleur Du 10:17 pm
I see Julian is out. I will miss him :-(
Starr Iski 10:17 pm
LOL, I won't.
Fleur Du 10:17 pm
He was nice to me.
Starr Iski 10:17 pm
Which vote was yours?
Fleur Du 10:17 pm
Why you ask?

Step 1: PLAY DUMB.

Starr Iski 10:18 pm
Because the votes confuse me, LOL.
One of them said #killskylar which is my real name.
The one that was blocked out was from Tina.
And the one in blue was Chad's.
Fleur Du 10:18 pm
Which means other one was Gloria?

Step 2: KEEP PLAYING DUMB until you are accused.

Starr Iski 10:19 pm
Well, Gloria supposedly voted with us.
Starr Iski 10:19 pm
So which vote was yours? LOL.
Fleur Du 10:19 pm
I am sorry. I have much to explain, do I not?

Step 3: Quit lying when they know you are. That's the only way to get out of deep water.

Starr Iski 10:19 pm
Mhm.
Fleur Du 10:20 pm
Let us stop pretending, oui?
Starr Iski 10:20 pm
Drop the French while you're explaining too.
Fleur Du 10:20 pm
I knew that if you stayed, you'd figure me out
I am sorry I didn't tell you earlier
Starr Iski 10:20 pm
P.S., I stayed - I still don't know who you are
But apparently you want me dead.
AKA, not cool
Fleur Du 10:20 pm
But after that night in Fibo and what you were going on about, I figured the moment you figured me out, you wouldn't trust me one bit
Starr Iski 10:21 pm
LOL.
Fleur Du 10:21 pm
You never mentioned me ONCE in your recap of events
Starr Iski 10:21 pm
Well, voting for me isn't helping anything
Fleur Du 10:21 pm
Nor did you ask me for my version of the story
Starr Iski 10:21 pm
Because I still don't know woh you are?
Fleur Du 10:21 pm
You're really forgetful if you don't know that
Starr Iski 10:21 pm
Yeah, I am.
Fleur Du 10:22 pm
You blocked me that night
Because I was on your case about bailing
Starr Iski 10:22 pm
ANDYYY.

Step 4: If they know you're you, don't deny, don't deny. You only look dumb.

Fleur Du 10:22 pm
Mhmm
Starr Iski 10:22 pm
Okay
That's funny because
As soon as I saw that vote
I was like
"Lol, that's Andy."
Fleur Du 10:22 pm
I am surprised you didn't connect the dots
Starr Iski 10:22 pm
But I didn't know you were going to play
Well, I assumed you wouldn't
Fleur Du 10:22 pm
I am one of the few people shticking these days
Starr Iski 10:23 pm
The word Amanda wasn't anywhere to be found
So why would you play
:-)
Fleur Du 10:23 pm
Alias, etc.
And shticking
This one... hasn't been fun
Fleur Du 10:23 pm
Because Chad caught me immediately
Starr Iski 10:23 pm
PS it's really bad.
Fleur Du 10:23 pm
and I revealed myself to him
Starr Iski 10:23 pm
I mean, you can do it well
But you can definitely tell it's a character
Fleur Du 10:24 pm
Same goes for my last one
Gloria tends to hate my shticks A LOT
At any rate
I am sorry if you ever felt bullied by me that night in Fibo
I just didn't like how you left Sam for dead and then tried to blame him for the game failing
Starr Iski 10:25 pm
Two sides to the story
I think you should drop it
Fleur Du 10:25 pm
And when him, myself, and Marina all ended up on the same tribe with you... I thought it was destiny
Starr Iski 10:25 pm
'Cos everyone else has
Fleur Du 10:25 pm
Oh, I'm over it
I am sorry I had to vote for you though
Starr Iski 10:25 pm
You should know as much as everyone else that anger pushes people over the edge
Fleur Du 10:25 pm
Yes.
I'm not angry towards you at all
I haven't been able to get on these past few days LEGITIMATELY
Nor do I have the energy for this kind of game anymore
Starr Iski 10:26 pm
What are you saying?
Fleur Du 10:26 pm
I'm not even half the player I used to be lol
I made a decision with my heart over my mind, and that was a bad move on my behalf
Fleur Du 10:27 pm
I wanted to work with Sam and Marina after what we promised that night in Fibo. That's why I was so integrated into this drama here.
Because I had been since the start
I hated voting for you, because I have enjoyed getting to know you
But I honestly thought that was the best move for the tribe because it would end the conflict between you and Chad
I'd also appreciate it if you unblocked my main lol
Fleur Du 10:30 pm
I made a bad decision and if I get voted out for it, that's fine
Starr Iski 10:30 pm
Oh, okay yeah just a sec
Fleur Du 10:30 pm
I knew I was getting blocked that night
But we were ALL angry at you and got as carried away as you did
And I see it unblocked now, thanks :-)
I am so glad I can drop the fake French accent
Starr Iski 10:32 pm
ME TOO.
Fleur Du 10:32 pm
I also don't need to abuse Google Translate anymore
Starr Iski 10:32 pm
Aw. <3
Fleur Du 10:32 pm
Sam caught me IMMEDIATELY
And I knew he did
so I outed myself to him
He outed you
Starr Iski 10:33 pm
LOL, what did you say?
Fleur Du 10:33 pm
I don't recall but he saw the bad grammar so
The plan was to lay Fibo to rest by voting you
Starr Iski 10:33 pm
Instead, Fibo was layed to rest by voting Tina.
:-)
-snapsnap-
I'm not even gonna lie
I got a total of like, 4hrs of sleep during Round6
Starr Iski 10:34 pm
I was on the verge of puking when Results were going up
Because I was so nervous
Fleur Du 10:34 pm
I've slept pretty well because I have been doing A LOT these past few days


The point is that Starr may or may not trust me anymore. And since Gloria flipped, that puts me in a really really really really really really really really bad position. If Gloria stays voting with Starr and Thiago, she replaces me. Chad goes next, then me. They can throw challenges all they like to protect Mark back at Reliquum. Since Julian is gone, likely because Starr's paranoia about him having many alliances was not at all the case,

At least we've moved on from the HMS Fibo. I hope we can start destroying challenges from here onward so we won't have to worry about Judgment again. I need to keep working on damage control and keep saying I made a mistake. If I can get back in Starr's good graces, I can maybe make the end with her and Thiago. I have a lot of explaining to do to Thiago, too. Since Starr knows my alias, Thiago is probably going to have to also. Oh well, c'est le vie.

[bree]

Well, nobody on to do the challenge. Wonderful. This might be a throw. Sam or myself is likely leaving, more likely me than him given... Gloria.

I seriously need to get a feel for these people some more. I have to talk to Thiago ASAP and rebuild that bridge, and make sure that Skylarr and I can work together long-term. I don't intend on betraying him again, the Fibo thing was just a huge part of that vote. I feel bad for Tina... :/

By the way, I would really like some company in here. Anybody want to party?

[bree]

No reply from Thiago. Starr seems to be okay with me. I'm not voting for her again - legit. Well, voting her out anyway. I have no intention of betraying her again since we could finally lay that Fibo shit to rest.

I hope to God that they're not throwing the f***ing challenge. If we do go to Judgment, I'm going to try to blindside Gloria. She betrayed Chad and Tina hardcore last round. What's going to stop her from doing that to Starr and Thiago? I will try to make myself into a vote slave that will do whatever they want if I have to. That's not how I like to play, but that might be what I have to do for the time being. As long as I'm not the one falling down down down... I'm okay. I don't want Chad to leave either, because that would be bad bad bad. But as long as I stay stay stay...





Really. I don't trust nor like Gloria. I never HAVE liked Luis. He hated Zelda Quinton. He hated it in URTV12 when I decided to do the father/daughter thing when he was Dick and I was Daniele. Needless to say, there's a high chance he hates Fleur too simply by association. Thus, I don't like him because he doesn't like me. Which means he has to go.

The plan? Sam and I are going to try to flip Starr and Thiago against Gloria. Like I said: Gloria betrayed Chad/Sam HARDCORE last round. Like... that was a Jakelike knifing. Heartless, hardcore, and more about the game than any kind of empathy. If Chad/Sam is on the jury and Gloria is in the finals... well let's just say Gloria's not going to be winning. The problem is that she's a challenge threat come the merge, and given how she's as cold-blooded as can be... I don't want to give her any cards.

Again, I hope they're not throwing, because I don't want to go to another stupid judgment. I've only had one round off from the goddamn place. Seriously, the place is like covered with blood from throats I've cut. Sorry Naomi... I wanted to work with you. Sorry Dion... I feel bad, but you did vote for me.

The outcast twist that's likely coming is bound to be messy. I mean, why else would Naomi log on so often? And Pilar? Pilar would just get voted out immediately again anyway... because somebody likely won't learn how to campaign any time soon. No idea what's going to happen... I just hope we win this freaking thing.

^LOL, that's a good one XD


Anyway, damage control with Thiago. Over PM:

Hey bree We never seem to be on at the same time so I figure we should at least PM. I miss talking to you What happened last round?? Gloria is saying she voted for Tina. Did you vote for Starr?? Why?? Does Starr even know? I haven't spoken to Starr or you in a while, only Chad and Gloria are ever on. Where is your head at? I think Chad and Gloria are great in challenges but I don't know if keeping our fan numbers is best or if we should throw out Fans VS. Favorites and play the game as a new tribe. I hope to see you online sometime soon Thiago

I have much to explain. It involves drama Starr and Chad was in, oui. I first have confession to make: As you probably have guessed, this is a character shtick. I'm not really good at French - at all. I am sorry for lying to you, but that is one of the things about being alias. And when I am alias, I always give my characters stories. I do not want you to distrust me for it. I genuinely like you and want to be loyal to you, even if my actions may state otherwise. Yes, I voted for Starr last round. Yes, she knows all about it. I was at the very center of that drama between her and Chad - the one that got them firmly against each other. In that drama, I took Chad's side, because... Starr was never around and had no right to be criticizing him for the things he did. It was a royal mess. It was myself, Chad, and Tina against Starr that night. That is why I voted for Starr - not only was I thinking Gloria was too, but because it was what the three of us agreed to do. Due to that very circumstance, I figured Starr would no longer trust me the moment she found out who I am (given what she was saying about some of the others), so I felt as if I had to. We planned on laying it to rest afterward, and we have. The outcome doesn't affect that, and I have explained myself to Starr. I won't be voting for her again. I told Chad that I would never write your name down - nor did I say "Starr" but rather the person playing her. And just that once. It was like destiny that the four of us ended up on a tribe together... and I didn't want to drag you into it. I also am in the middle of an extremely active, busy week, so I have not had much time for game talk, nor did I have any opportunity to change my vote... or find out that Gloria was voting for Tina. I'm so behind on everything. I do understand if all of this makes you distrust me, but I don't want it to get to that point. I want to stick with you. I don't want to write your name down. I don't want to be a cold-blooded killer. If you do distrust me, I understand completely - my actions do speak louder than my words, and I am sorry if you feel as if I cannot be trusted. I never want to vote you out, you have my word. I hope that, and me coming clean, is enough. Thank you for listening. Thank you for believing. I hope this doesn't affect our relationship - shtick aside, I have been true to you. I like talking to you, and hope we see each other sometime soon. I have a few things to do tonight, but I saw your PM and thought I would reply to it. See you soon

I hope he trusts me still. Chad told me he was suspicious of Fleur DuPont, so I don't want him to distrust me. I have to come clean to him. I have to be real with him. I have to be honest with him. I have to be LOYAL and TRUE to him. It's 100% true that I would never write his name down, at least as of right now. That's hopefully going to stay the case. Everything in my message there is 100% honest, and although things may change (like I may vote for Starr if she wants to vote me out), I intend on adhering to it. I am an honest player. I am not a cold-blooded killer at all. I hope that God can forgive me for what I have done. God... will you?

If we lose - which I hope we don't and honestly think we won't - I still want to vote out Gloria. She is a snake and cannot be trusted going forward. I can. If I have to promise to be a vote slave, I WILL promise that. Which means Gloria going will have to be done via seed-planting in the most honest way possible. That's not an easy task. Am I up to it? Hell yeah. I have to do everything I can to go out with a bang, seeing as this (or The End, if I make it) is likely going to be my last ORG. I have come to the conclusion that I really don't have the time for this anymore, at least... the time to be as awesome as I once was. I remember back in 2010 when people targeted anyone playing as Amanda because they were afraid of me. That... was a long time ago now. Wow.



Also yay, I got an episode title! LOL @ what it is... I gotta wonder if I directed that at myself since I was indeed on the wrong end of the gun? xD

[bree]

Another PM with Thiago... more damage control. Truthful damage control.

Hey Bree, Wow this is a lot of information to process. I'm on my phone right now so not really able to go in depth in my reply. I figured as much about the schtick given that I speak French and actually live near Montreal and you wouldn't talk about it! I don't care though because I also appreciate character aliases as once upon a time I was the same way. I don't mind how you vote but I don't like that you PMd me that morning asking me about the vote and you at that point knew! But I'm sure you had your reasons. I'm happy to hear you don't want to vote for me. Are you and Starr getting along?? We will talk soon. Great job on the challenge I think we can win it

He IMs me when I am writing my reply. I am also conversing with Starr:

Thiago 9:05 pm Hey Bree!! Fleur Du 9:05 pm Bonjour! I was just reading your PM Thiago 9:06 pm Oh great Fleur Du 9:06 pm I sent that one the day of the vote because I didn't want to keep you in the dark about where my head was at Thiago 9:06 pm Okay Fleur Du 9:06 pm I am sorry for... everything really Thiago 9:07 pm But you never said anything after the PM Fleur Du 9:07 pm Because I never had a chance to get online Thiago 9:07 pm Well you didn't vote for me, if you have beef with Starr that doesn't mean you have beef with me You do what you gotta Fleur Du 9:07 pm Yeah. Her and I are good now, at least. Thiago 9:07 pm I just thought us 3 would stick together Fleur Du 9:07 pm She understands why I did what I did. We still will. Thiago 9:08 pm Are you sure Fleur Du 9:08 pm We've laid that drama to rest. Thiago 9:08 pm So we are all together still? Fleur Du 9:08 pm I hope so! :-) Thiago 9:08 pm What is the next step Where is your head at We won immunity Fleur Du 9:08 pm Well, we won the challenge, so we don't have to worry about stupid judgment :-) :-) Fleur Du 9:10 pm I hope we don't go to it again until merge. Thiago 9:11 pm What do we want to do at the merge I'm so nervous about the merge Fleur Du 9:11 pm I am too. I don't know what will happen... AT ALL Thiago 9:12 pm Julian is gone Fleur Du 9:12 pm At merge, I think Chad and Gloria might have to stick with us because the other favourites will be on their case Although I don't trust Gloria Thiago 9:12 pm Why will they be on their case? I don't hear much from Gloria she is never around Fleur Du 9:12 pm For sacrificing Fleur Du 9:16 pm And Gloria flipped on Chad in the blink of an eye Thiago 9:16 pm Well are they agains each other? Chad never said anything bad about Gloria to m Me Fleur Du 9:16 pm She strikes me as shady. Chad told me Gloria was his #1 ally Thiago 9:17 pm So they are still? Fleur Du 9:17 pm I doubt it. I don't know what the hell happened Fleur Du 9:20 pm I know you're kind of shocked about everything I'm throwing at you... sorry if I am going overboard Thiago 9:20 pm I'm okay not to worry I just don't want you thinking I'm upset I'm really not I'm just trying to understand what happened last week and who is with who because I was so out of the loop last week Fleur Du 9:22 pm I was too. I had no idea what happened between Chad and Gloria Thiago 9:22 pm Me either Fleur Du 9:23 pm I am with you and Starr. I also know Chad from outside the game. Thiago 9:23 pm I thought it was you who voted with us and then I found out maybe not so I wanted to ask you directly Fleur Du 9:23 pm I have no reason to lie. I want you to trust me. Thiago 9:23 pm I do ! Fleur Du 9:23 pm :-) Thiago 9:23 pm You've been so honest I really appreciate it Fleur Du 9:24 pm Thank you. I appreciate your honesty, too. Thiago 9:25 pm Well I only know so much. Last round seemed simple to me and then it got crazy and I didn't know what was going on. I thought I was going home Fleur Du 9:26 pm You weren't at any time. I was not going to vote for you ever, even if Starr won immunity. Thiago 9:26 pm I believe that Fleur Du 9:27 pm And if she had left, I would not have voted for you next. I promise you that 100% Thiago 9:28 pm That is reassuring definitely My loyalty has been to you and Starr all game I didn't even speak to Julian much You were my original 2 I have never wavered I want this to work Fleur Du 9:29 pm I do too. Thiago 9:29 pm I just don't really know what's going on with the alias stuff outside the game it seems complicated

Fleur Du 9:05 pm lol, at least it wasn't you or me And I do plan on stcking with you now Starr Iski 9:05 pm Well, you wanted it to be me! LOL. <3 Fleur Du 9:05 pm We have laid the HMS Fibo to rest. We're not going back there. We can be F3 again? :-D Starr Iski 9:05 pm Trivia question: What does HMS mean? NO GOOGLIN! Fleur Du 9:06 pm Her Majesty's Ship Starr Iski 9:06 pm You googd. Fleur Du 9:06 pm Nope. Starr Iski 9:06 pm Good job then! I didn't know that until like a week ago, also. :-) I'll stick with you!! Fleur Du 9:08 pm Promise? :-) I promise that I will not vote for you again. What's done is done. Starr Iski 9:09 pm Mhm! Fleur Du 9:09 pm Fibo is done. I don't hold anything against you. And I hope you understand why I did everything I did. I'm over it.

D-A-M-A-G-E C-O-N-T-R-O-L. I think this is working. Hell, at least I HOPE it is. I do have time, because

WE WON FUCKING IMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!

This next round basically is me rebuilding my bonds and making SURE we don't go to judgment with me in a bad position. I need to be a vote for these people. I gotta do what I gotta do to stay alive.

[bree]

As for who is going home this round...

On Reliquum, Mark is likely a marked man. Now, he's gotten himself out of jams... twice. Once in round one, once last round. Is the third time the charm, or did he make some sort of deal to get Julian out? If he did, I wouldn't know with WHOM, meaning if it isn't Mark, it could be any of them.

On Adomonito, Selena and Carly were supposed to go last time. Taylor is also a floater. I gotta wonder how Beau got out. Idol perhaps? That tribe is bound to be a clusterfuck this round. I can't wait to see who is gone, because that will give me more insight into what is going on with them. The more I have, the better off I will be come merge. Presuming I get there and this damage control isn't backfiring. Honesty is the best policy, after all.


I hope Mark can survive, because he's more likely to be loyal to me come the merge than Knox or Zac. Gabe is a wild card. If I make the merge, I expect it to be a major clusterfuck where people might try to get my vote. If I can just be UTR when the time comes and let the big guns - Liam, Steph, Chad, Starr, and whomever is left on Reliquum duke it out - I can probably make it to the final 8 where I can find the numbers to make a big move. That's where I need to be!
