[NG Survivor 2] The past does hurt

Sep 2, 2002, 1:18am
Dear Diary

A note to Mongo:

I'll be open about this, mongo I voted for you, and you know why? Because
as much as I didn't want to believe it all i could see in you is what i see
right now, anger and mistrust. I'm sorry it had to be like this.


-Eric
PS. Had you voted against mod, it would have tied and most likely the
reckoning vote would have been used to cast me out. I never really got to
know you well, and I don't think you'd like me to, but I hope some day we
can both get over this and work something out.

[NG Survivor 2] Cheating, yelling, and i don't mean the Cys!

Dear Diary:

Made it to the merger, <ego trip> hahahahahaha </ego trip> sorry about that.
The challenge was fun, ended quick and I don't think it matters who won
immunity, we're all cool. As for that spear toss, I've got a good score but
damnit I can't break it. Anyways I've been working around camp alot with
the objects that I hid away through the camp deletions and have taken back
now, it's lookin good. Blah I'm tired, bye.

on a foul and just clipped the score. :P

[NG Survivor 2] Journal

Sep 15, 2002, 6:04pm
Dear Journal,

I just went to my first live tribal council, it was pretty intense. Two
months ago I started out thinking how this game was gonna take forever, and
I just began strategizing but not doing much. But now here I am, 9 or so
weeks later, watching our tribe butchered down to seven members. I would
have thought it obvious by now where the lines ran, but I guess nobody
(myself included) could have predicted betrayal such as this. There are
some I trusted far back, but now in each move they make to manipulate me, I
am able to identify it and throw it back at them. That is why he who was
voted off today is gone, not due to anything he did, but due to the actions
of his ally.

I guess to those I have betrayed, I say sorry, but it had to be done.
There is only one path left for me to take on this road to the end, if I
stray then I forfeit all I have worked for, so it is on this road that I
march solemnly forward.


-Eric

[NG Survivor 2] No shades of grey

Sep 21, 2002, 6:24pm
Sorry this is a bit late, but aren't I always late in this game? :)

I started this game with a plan. With tons of experience from awteen's
survivors, and having been a loyal follower of the first ng survivor, I
figured this would be in the bag. Half the cast were awteeners, people that
through my work I knew inside and out, including their strengths and
weaknesses. I knew how to make them happy, how to make them angry, how to
stay alive, and how to make them gone. But it is for this reason that I did
not choose to align myself with them in the beginning. I attempted,
figuring out norn's plan on how we would be seperated, to get people I knew
on the "r" pads, but I got the message too late. So here I was with people
I didn't really know, and whom I couldn't use my knowledge or experience
against.. damn, I had to play fair.

So I struck up an alliance with some new people, binarybud and builderz, but
forturnately we never had to vote anyone off while we were together. Later
on, the tribal split dissipated us, but thats another story.

Days in the Rogebo camp were ok, I set up my floating bed, and let the rest
of the tribe work on camp. Whenever I tried to do something, it would just
get destroyed anyways. But perhaps I deserved it, allow me to take this
chance to confess something. A lot of bad things happened to newebi's camp,
deletions and whatnot, and I was very upset about these. When I vandalize,
which I haven't done for quite some time, I do it with style. Myself being
rather empathic by nature, I chose to do a few little things to stir people
up, but nothing major. So I chose fire, ah yes the flames of mistrust. It
was an odd sensation I must say, setting someone up with an act that was
really harmless but somewhat unsettling in nature. I lit tents, trees,
items, and that was about it, I _never deleted anything_. Perhaps it was to
incite the feud that would lead to camp destruction, for my own selfish
reason of being busy. Did it work? I guess so, the camps lay in ruins, and
as a result I had an excuse not to be on as much.

Pixelot, shorah, maka, joeman, jerme, I never knew these people all that
well, and I never got the chance. Challenges came and went, I never
attended many of them, usually because they were so early in the day for me
and I have issues waking up that early on weekends. :P I didn't think much
of the game at all in fact, I was a bit arrogant on the issue I will now
admit. I did attend one challenge during my time in rogebo, and I did cheat
in it. As I flew up, I read the sign, and replaced it with the word "pox"
thinking it would delay Mongo a few seconds and Nornny would change it back,
but he didn't. I apologized to Mongo, but he didn't take the little stunt
lightly, and judging by his voting record never forgave me. I'm sorry man,
I really am.

So I laid back, thought I was safe, but then came the split and really shook
me up. I should've expected something so diabolical from norn, I actually
had to pay attention to this damn game now. Oh I payed attention. Before
all the objects were demolished to make way for the new camps, I made sure
to steal a few away for later use, I hid them under the waterfall. So from
my little aquatic hideaway I planned, plotted, and realized all the planning
and plotting in the world wasn't gonna do me any good. Mongo wanted me out,
and if he stayed in he would have played it cool until he had the chance to
strike me back.

But still, I was torn on who to vote for. I constulted lioness, and after a
long conversation (btw with bb leaving its only 1 week now, so its not such
a dark secret anymore lol), I decided that I had to vote out mongo. I was
scared, I had two reckoning votes against me and I was willing to bet that
norn wouldnt hesitate to use them, and not in my favor. Lioness picked mod
out of her hat, and if mongo had voted mod, it would have tied and I would
have been out for sure. But I counted on mongo voting in revenge, voting me
out, and he did. Mod and I voted against him, and bang there he went, and
the tribes merged.

After the new name, recovering my hidden objects, and settling down I felt
weak. I had no friends, possibly a few enemies, I didn't know what to do.
Maki however, was strong, a threat in his skill and alliances. It was then
that gandalf and mod approached me, saying they had a plan to get rid of the
threat, and (though perhaps I shouldnt have) I bought into it. Was I
tricked? Not really, but I was manipulated, but I'm not really bitter about
it now. To answer your question norn, I am no mastermind, but neither am I
a pawn. Hey I've only had to vote off two people, how can I be a
mastermind? No, but this week I was attacked by rabid dinosaurs, wrestled
by a fat spearman, choked by a ressurected gameshow host, probed by probst,
and I lived to tell about it. If you don't see the relevance there, read
norn's post.

My plan for now, well I'm not quite sure, seeing as my survival in the game
is what's important I only have one option. I shall vote off each week
purely by whom I think is the greatest threat to my survival. So whos left
to pick from?

Gandalf - He used me a bit, but our intrests are sometimes the same.
Mod - We go way back, I think I can trust him.
Lioness. - We've had our issues, but I think we're cool again.
Gamecube - What can I say? He's never been around the whole game and rumor
has it he voted for me last time.
Builderz - An ally from the beginning, but our ties seem to have faded. =/
Ambient Spirit - I knew her way back, and hope to get to know her better
now, she seems trustable.
Eric - He's ok, though I don't think he knows what he's doing. :P

So there you have it, my experience so far. But now, in attempt to suck up
to norn for some additional points, as I'm sure he's a well cultured
individual with a taste for the literary arts, I present a synopsis of my
experience in poetic form. *bongos*

[----------------------------------------------------------------------]
Cost of Survival,
By Eric.

I enter a world as yet unknown,
With a war I must fight all alone,
A trial, or rather if you will a game,
To outwit, outlast, and mostly outflame.

Allies come near and then fade away,
Friends are made but voted out as we play.

A thousand promises lingering on the edge of my mind.
Often I enter to find myself torn,
A conflict resides that I cannot leave behind,
For my connundrum is to who I am sworn.

Enemies rise in with the threat they surround,
And to clear them is all I am bound.

But as I gather friends and as some tend to stray,
I ask myself why I chose to play.
The answer not to win but being this only one:
Hell one only reason, I play for the fun.
[----------------------------------------------------------------------]


-Eric

Odd...

[NG Survivor 2] TIE-d by little bonds

Oct 1, 2002, 10:47pm
Ok so what do I say? Throughout this game I've never been in it for the
prize, I've been in it for the gaming. It's obvious at this point that I
won't be winning this game, but I never intended on it. Although it no
longer holds true (due to both my and the ngs2 schedules changing) when I
started this game I thought I was going to be gone for the last 2 weeks of
the game, making it impossible for me to win no matter what. With people
resigning, and the trip I would be going on being moved around, that's no
longer the case.

So you ask me, why have you never been there? Though I'm not trying to
excuse myself, here are my reasons. First off, anyone who knows me knows
that I'm not a morning person, my usual awake time being from 4:30pm -
6:30am pst. But that's an excuse, the real reason is that maybe I didn't
care about this game as much as I should of, neither gamecube or I did, and
circumstance seems to have caught up with me.

I've played in, won, and hosted many other aw survivor games, mostly in
awteen. The strategy there was to set up your strategy in the beginning and
stick with it, whilst lying out of your ass everywhere you can. Here, I did
something different, I didn't stick with it, and I was honest wherever I
could be, and look where it got me. Maybe I deserve to be voted out, for
letting it all goto my head and not caring. Maybe I deserve to be voted out
because regardless of whether I did it or not, everyone thinks I have or
will betray them. Or maybe I dont, maybe I deserve another chance. It's
not my call, it's yours.

Always makes the right click, he builds by sense of smell.
I ain't seen nothing like him, in any world at all,
That blind, stupid Kelvin, sure builds a mean town hall.
