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.

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. -Eric [NG Survivor 2] There's no such thing as safety in numbersSep 12, 2002, 12:07am
Norn its obvious that if he didnt send in the whole score screen he got that
on a foul and just clipped the score. :P [View Quote] <snip> [NG Survivor 2] JournalSep 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 greySep 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.

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. -Eric [NG Survivor 2] TIE-d by little bondsOct 3, 2002, 6:51am
It's been fun all, I guess I should cared more. :)
