===SNIP HO, SNIP HO, IT'S WASTING BANDWITH YOU KNOW===

There's only 8 people left and things are getting serious. It's down to the
halfway point, and all our remaining contestants are lucky to escape the
first 8 weeks with only serious injuries. ;)

Shall we take a small trip down memory lane? :)

pixelot, Shorah, Joeman, Maka, D a n, JerMe, and Mongo all bit the dust
before the merge. Remember them?BinaryBud resigned last week from the game,
saving Gamecube from leaving just as things were getting good.

Now, out of the remaining eight, 6 will join you, the public, in the jury
box. Together, they will decide who is the ULTIMATE SURVIVOR between the
last two avatars standing. The possibilities are endless as to who will make
it to the top (after all, how would you explain Gamecube making it so far?
:P)

First, the Reard Challenge. :) It was a game of strategy and wits, also.
Survivors had to move a Go block around by picking a box (with a number on
it) surrounding the Go box. The number on the box chosen would move that
many spaces in that direction, deleting boxes in its path. The goal is to
delete as many boxes as possible without landing on an empty space or going
over the edge. :)

Anywho, after the recent scare of last week on Reward Challenges, only
Ambient Spirit, our trusty gardener, sent in a score. :)

With a decent score of 235 out of 500 blocks, she wins a tee shirt! :))
Proving once and for all, that you'll win a teeshirt eventually if you do
every challenge. :) I'll be in touch Ambi.

Anywho, just scroll up the newsgroup to be recapped on this week's events,
I'll be heading straight to Tribal Council.

Let me just say, I still get shivers watching this Council and the immediate
aftermath. Last night, almost all our survivors made the trek up to Tribal
Plateau. Ambient Spirit had other obligations online, and Gamecube, although
inworld, was not actually on his account. However, the six that did come (a
record number), managed for some good drama and shocking revelations.

Our survivors quickly climbed the plateau and sat down in their seats,
nervous as usual. Mod felt weird making his first trek up to the top of
Council. It was also Eric's first time.

Nornny11: anyways, let's talk about the week.
Nornny11: maki, you were in obvious danger last week, what did you make of
that?
maki: fear O_O
Eric: i love you maki =/
Lioness.: LOL
maki: lol
Eric: and if im voted off
Eric: i want to have youre baby

okay...we'll move on.

Nornny11: Lioness, you seem to have a good grasp of flying under the radar,
how have you managed to escape being voted upon?
Lioness.: flying under the radar????
Lioness.: hmmmmmmm......well........
Lioness.: luck so far i guess
Lioness.: did a LOT of praying

Nornny11: Builderz, how important is it to have Immunity this week?
Builderz: I don't think it is as important as it would have been last week
or next week...but once it get's down to the fourth or third week...then it
would matter more.

Nornny11: if you guys were here last week, I told you all that the winner
of the Immunity challenge would have a choice.
Nornny11: Either keep Immunity.
Nornny11: or give it up to void the public vote. :)
Nornny11: Now, before I let Builderz decide, is there anyone who would like
to plead either way?

Eric: yeah
Eric: kill the public vote
Eric: it wont do any of us any good

Mod: Keep it man, you earned it :)
Mod: but then again, you can do what you want with it

Lioness.: builderz........keep the public vote hon

Eric: get rid of the public vote
Eric: you dont need immunity man, youre safe
Mod: Thats probably cause the vote is for you eric lol j/k
Eric: pshh shut up :P

Nornny11: well, okay. Builderz, the decision lays ahead of you. :)
Nornny11: What would you like to do?
Builderz: Well, since the majority of you still wish to keep the public
vote, I will let it stay and keep my immunity. Sorry, Eric.

Ouch. Builderz decides to follow his tribemates and keep himself safe,
although one wonders if he already was. Taking out the Immunity necklace
would've possibly saved the tribe more, but not alliances. However, should
Builderz had taken off his necklace, Eric would've been assured to owe him
later on. After all, the guy is possibly in an AWTeen alliance, and would
they REALLY vote off the girls before him?

The chitter chatter ends here, and it's time to vote amigos.

Ambient went up first.

Gamecube then went up and voted.

Gandalf followed.

maki put down a name, and said "...clearly a threat...forming little clans
against me -_-"

Eric follows and also says something "I'm voting ... cause he's a huge
threat, and is too good of friends with mod"

Mod follows. "I don't like having immunity challanges ruined, I believe in
fair play, sorry man..."

Builderz also goes up "I have not seen him around the game very often, he
was late to this week's council, and I want to try to remain true to my
Robego ties as long as possible."

Lioness votes last.

Okay then, I'll go tally the vote, remember that the survivor with the most
votes from the Public Votecaster will also have a vote cast against him.


First vote...Eric







Second vote, Gamecube.





maki.







maki.







Gandalf. That's two maki, one Eric, Gamecube and Gandalf.










Next vote...




Eric.








maki.








And the 9th person leaving NG Survivor 2...maki.




*tribal council music climaxes* I'm sorry maki, but the tribe has spoken.
*extinguishes torch* Please leave the Plateau, but before you go, reply to
this thread with your Final Words. :) You will be back every Tribal Council
(if you can make it), to see how the tribe votes. :)

As for you seven, you all have made it past the halfway mark. Congrats. Plan
carefully. :) Lioness and Eric have written excellent diaries on the game so
far, leaving us to believe NO one is safe. maki, a semi-AWTeener and oldie
alike, couldn't follow one of his paths. His activeness made him a threat,
and the AWTeeners took the gun and shot him first before the Oldies. I'll go
more on that next post.


Well, now its time for a Reward Challenge!! :)


This Reward Challenge is none like the rest. It will be played IN THE
NEWSGROUP! It's the reflection challenge, made SOLELY for you seven. No one
else can win a tee-shirt this week except one of you, granted you
participate.

The challenge is simple, write a diary, an extra long and informative one,
on your experiences since Week 1 til now. :) You will be graded by myself,
on certain criteria. The more criteria you meet, the more points you get,
and the better chance you have of winning a tee-shirt. Like any other diary,
you are welcome to lie about any events to save your skin and so forth. :)

I will give you guys up to 9 points for each survivor you write about that's
been voted off. By this, you have to talk about the vote, the council, or
their participation, etc. I will not accept "maki was voted off" as an
acceptable mention. You must spill some feeling.

I'll give you up to seven points, if you write about each of the survivors
that are STILL in the game. You MUST mention an alliance or pact with at
least one other survivor!

8 points for writing about your strategy for each coming week. You must
mention in at least one of the weeks who you'll be voting off, and MUST
mention who will be in the Final Two with you.

2 points each for events (fictional or non) that happened this week. Yes,
being eaten by rabid hippos count.

For each individual survivor, I will give you 5 points if you address what I
have typed below for you (yes, it's cruel):

Gandalf - Being a swing voter. Will you vote with the AWTeeners or with the
oldies next week?

Builderz - Possibly being the next target in the alliance and how you plan
on escaping from it.

Gamecube - If the AWTeen alliance has any plans on keeping you for a few
more weeks before ditching you.

Ambient Spirit - If you believe that you will be voted off before Lioness or
not, and how you plan to prevent that from happening. If you believe you two
will make it to the Final Two, how will you win the game (ie, how will you
get enough votes)?

Lioness e. - Same as above.

Eric - If you really are the mastermind behind the AWTeen alliance and when
do you plan on voting off each of the AWTeeners

Mod - Have you considered going with Lioness e (your Robego/Nebewi
tribemates) to the end instead of the lazier AWTeeners? How much of a role
do tribal lines play in your strategy?

I will give you more points on creativity, and X factors. :) The rest of the
diary is for you to write. However, you MUST reply to this thread and cut
off this post to be considered. :) Have fun.


PRODUCTION NOTE: The website is constantly being updated, even if a few
weeks behind. :) Keep checking up on the pages. Find out how the tribe voted
this week and who the public voted for and much much more!

Whoopsy, forgot once again to tell you when you should write your reflection
by! This is due BEFORE the Immunity Challenge on Saturday at 5pm VRT. :) Get
writing folks. :))

-Dear Diary,
Man I am tired, long game sratagy wise, I am exhausted. Maki is now
gone, he was a good guy just had to go, its the way of the game I guess,
many other good friends of mine have gone too like Maki he was one of my
best friends and I WAS planning something with him, but that died. Then
there was the inactive factor in the game, one that worked for only one,
GameCube, Shorah and Joeman tried that, which backfired, guess you gotta be
COMPLETELY inactive for that strategy to work. BinaryBud, wish he wouldn't
have quit, but it shows that he was too weak to take the pain ;-) Others
hmmmm, JerMe Never got to know him, glad I didn't for he is also out.
Pixelot, always sucks to be the first to go, but SOMEBODY had to do it. That
brings me to D A N who almost was good as gamecube with the inactive
strategy, but it backfired when gamecube's only activity in the game was to
say "I think we should vote D A N out, he never does anything" I still
remember that ;-). So then we are here, my recollection fading fast as the
wear of the game is tough.and so remain the battle of sides so to say,
Gandalf, Lioness, Myself, Eric, Ambient, Builderz, and of course GameCube.
Each of us have differant strategies, that will all unfold as the last weeks
of the game continue. Myself? It is tough to state my status in the game. I
hate the word alliance, feels so Evil, when I hate to see anyone go, but the
last words I will leave you with, OUTWIT, OUTFLAME, and OUTLAST....

-The ever so tired
Mod

NGSurvivor has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Voting people
off is like voting off people from your own family. It is a painful process
to try to figure out who is more deserving to be voted off. You have to
weigh the pros and the cons and try to forget how nice they are. Personally
I think Tribal Reckoning was easier on the heart.
It's a shame I never got to know pixelot. In fact, I'm not sure anybody
really got to know him. I wonder if anybody had the chance to talk with the
guy.
Same with Shorah. Did Shorah even say hello to anyone? I wish I had the
opportunity to do more than send a telegram saying hello.
I was a little surprised however when Joeman was voted off. He seemed
like a nice enough fellow.
Jerme and I had the opportunity to joke around for a little while one
night, not too long before he was thrown off the plateau. He seemed like a
team player, eager to help, and nice to everyone (so it seemed to me). I
hope it's true that he didn't cheat on the spear throwing challenge. ;-"<
I already miss Mongo. He and I hit it off pretty nicely when we first met.
After chatting with each other one evening, I found out he lives only an
hour from me. He worked hard on fixing up the camp and tried to make it to
as many challenges as he could. I want him to know I did not vote him off
that fateful day. I literally picked a name from a basket because I could
not decide for myself who I would vote for. Unfortunately Mod's name was
chosen. I will miss Mongo's presence in Camp CaCa, but thank goodness I
still bump into him once in a while.
When Maki was voted off I almost cried. Here is a guy who made it to
more challenges than some of the rest of us. He participated in building
camp. He even located some "missing" objects one day, which someone had
hidden under a hill. He minded his own business. He never got in the middle
of any disputes. But it seems there was a posse out for him from day one. I
STILL can't figure out why he was so much of a threat to some people in
there. Is it because he refused to join the "Gandalf Alliance"???? (
Brrrrrrrrrrr.......just the sound of that phrase feels evil and gives me the
heebie jeebies. ) ;-"/ ...At least he is now the first person on the
jury. He has a good head on his shoulders and I respect his judgement and
opinion.
Eric confided something with me and I promised not to tell anyone. We
did not have an alliance, but I do consider it a pact between the two of us.
It's a shame he does not have the ability to honor what others say to him as
well. No integrity at all. Funny how he easily turns things around when he
"snitches" on what others say to him. And I think it's amusing how he has to
follow the "leader" and does not seem to be able to think for himself. But,
hey, on the other hand...how can there be a "leader" if there are no
followers??? ;-")
I have visited NGS2002 several times this past week to see if anyone
has done anything creative with our camp. It seems Ambie, Mod and Builderz
did some organizing and building. I noticed some of our trees are still
floating in midair, along with some jugs and signs. I ached to put it right,
but it was so dang dark in camp. If only NORNNY would turn on the stupid
LIGHTS!!!....so someone could see to build in there!!!
I only wish I knew who forgot to put out the fire in the fireplace in
our cabin. When I got there on Tuesday, some of the hot coals spit out onto
the wooden floor and were smoldering away. The interior was filled with
smoke. I ran quickly to the well and filled a jug with water to douse the
potential sparks. There is now a large burn mark on our floor as a reminder
to be more careful.
I still am not in an "alliance". I am however developing a friendship
with some of my tribe mates that I hope will last a lifetime. NGSurvivor
isn't JUST about Outwit, Outflame and Outlast. Nor is it about winning the
prize (although that is an incentive) It is about the thrill of the "chase".
It is about learning more about yourself and your inner strengths. It is
about learning how to get along with other people in a competitive
environment. It is about consideration of others. I want to finish this game
with, if not the prize, then my self respect. ~ Lioness ;-"D

The only pain I had was the pain of watching the lack of integrity this game is teaching to others. Then again, it's a "wishy-washy" kinda game from a "wishy-washy" kinda guy.

And as far as being weak.....NOT Many people actually concider it a sign of strength.
(standing up for my morals).

I look back at the passed weeks since Survivor 2 started and am in awe that
I am still here.

When the tribes were chosen, I and the only other female in the game,
Lioness were the *leftovers" and we were at the mercy of being chosen by any
tribe that wanted to have us. After announcing that I cook well lol I was
eventually chosed by the Nebewi tribe. Pixelot, Joeman, Gandalf, Mongo,
Jerme, Shorah and Maka were my tribemates. I was so hoping that I would have
a female companion with me! I knew none of these people at all.. never
spoken to them, and wondered how I was going to be viewed by them.. as a
threat.. a friend or simply someone to vote out when the time came.

It wasnt long before I was asked to join an alliance, and yes.. I did. Not
knowing anyone it had to be the only way I would get to know my fellow tribe
mates that were actively taking part in the game. Strange things start
happening in camp. I thought I would leave the tents to the guys and made
myself a make shift from trees, vines and floors. On returning to camp after
a while I found my humble abode had been ruined. I couldnt believe it was
one of my own tribemates and spent hours investigating.. with no luck! Then
Joemans tent caught alight.. and Makas.... we didnt even have the luxury of
fire! So..... off I went to Robegos camp... thinking they were the culprits.
I arrived there.. thought hard.. and then not really having any proof that
they were responsible.. left again. I had the Immunity challenge on my mind.
Nebewi were well represented but we lost the challenge and had to fo to
Tribal Council :(

I had no idea who to vote for.. so I voted for the person who had to date
been the most inactive on our tribe...Pixelot. Nothing personal hon... just
didnt get to know you ;(

Along came week2. I spent time trying to make our camp look comfortable..
Maka helped me. I was royally cheesed off that Jerme complained about our
camp looking like crap! He had not done a thing.. and Maka took ages
planting those trees.. albeit all in a row! At least he did something! Then
on top of it.. more items disappear.

I became increasingly more suspicious of a member on my own tribe.. but say
nothing to anyone. Time for the second Immunity Challenge arrives. It was
hilarious! I have to admire maki for his quick thinking! Although, Mongo,
one of my own tribe and the whole tribe suffered as result.. I felt it was a
brilliant move and wished that I had thought of it. I comforted myself
knowing that my time to be sneaky would come :) Again Robego win the
challenge and we face Tribunal Council again! This time I voted for Shorah..
another tribe mate that I had not got to know and who had not helped in
camp, attended any Challenge or Council to date. Our Web challenge gave us a
chance to win some cool signs... I wished it was fire.. but that was not to
be.

Joeman.. well done... but sadly, as Maki leaves... his warning of you
playing both sides makes me very nervous! LOL

Standing alone in camp... feeling on edge.. I swing arond and see a black
raven fluttering its wings.. not saying a word to me..! I said hello.. and
he disappeared. This continued for a few days.. I was really starting to
become unnerved! He kept appearing, just hanging there watching me, not
saying a word when I asked who he was.. then disappearing. Finally.. he
appears again and makes his identity known! "The Survivor" He warns me
against members in my own tribe without giving names.. He tells me things
are "not what they seem" and members of my tribe are also responsible for
destroying ours and Robegos campsite! I am shocked.. and have a hard time
believing him. I asked him who he was.. and all he would say was "I see all,
this is a warning, be aware, I am helping you" He then proceeds to give me a
url at Robegos camp.. where there has been considerable damage and tells me
to go and look, then once again.. he disappears. Like a puppy on a leash I
go and am shocked at the state of their camp.. and then I receive a URL from
The Survivor which I visit and it shows me at Robegos site and suspicion is
immediatly cast on me as being the culprit! I was furious!! LOL I
immediately went to the NGs and wrote telling all that there was a pic of me
at Robego and that it was a setup and supplied the URL. On visiting the
website a little later I was horrified that the pic of me at Robegos
Campsite had been replaced with with a topless woman romping on a bed! This
time... I spat venom! It was not long though before the culprit changed it.
I never again saw "The Survivor" after that incident and in a strange sort
of way miss him.

And so the following week arrives.. another Immunity Challenge, another
failure for Nebewi :( Our chances are being dashed more and more. At
Tribal Council I cast my vote... remebering the warning maka gave us, I vote
for Joeman Robego win lots of awesome objects. And still we have no
fire or water . My mind went into overdrive.. Maybe . just maybe I am
learningto be sneaky too and with the help of a friend whom I give my priv
passward too I sneak way down under Robegos camp and build layer upon
layer.. and still layer upon layer of invisible rows of floor to use up all
the cell space so that they cannot use their new obs :) I cracked up,
while still in sneak mode, when a couple of the Robego mates arrived to try
and build.. all they got was a rude note from the Building Inspector J

The following week saw the switch... three tribes instead of two. I felt my
world had been turned upside down! Dan, Gamecube, Gandalf and I are not
picked to join any tribe.. and the third tribe Tiveac is born. Only Gandalf
and I are from Nebewi. We are given a new site with lots of obs to build
with and I try not to think about what the week ahead holds and then I find
out i have to swim across aligator infested waters!! sheesh!!! Well that
event landed me in bed with bronchitis for almost 5 days and I missed my
first Immunity Challenge :(( And once again we face Tribunal Council. LOL I
hated this sesson more than any other because my vote was based only on not
knowing him. DAN. Off to deer hunting.. I never saw one of them!

At last the week arrives where we win our FIRST Immunity Challenge!!!
Whooohoo!! I could not contain my excitement... Our little SOS sign won!!!!
Finally we would not have to face Council!! I hugged that Immunity Idol!!
LOL. Jerme got voted off... and not knowing him.. his leaving didnt really
affect me

And so the games go on. We are fortunate to win the next Web challenge
and that in turn gives me the choice of taking part in the next Immunity
Challenge or opting to go to Tribal Reckoning instead. None of my
tribemates are on line so I decide on Reckoning to ensure Tiveac go through
to the merge. Then, Mongo.. anther person I got on well with is voted
off.

Merge week arrives and I am given the privilege of naming the new tribe.
After surfing the web and looking up Tribal Names I decide on Nonondago,
which means people on the hill. Before we know it. its time again for the
next challenge and maki is up to his wonderful tricks again LOL...only
problem is.. he booted himself out of the world too! hey i still admire his
antics! lol Lioness the Brave.. wins yet again... yayyy for the female
race!

And on to the next Next web challenge... a pot bellied beer drinking savage
throwing a spear. No matter how hard I tried.. I could get no where near
where I wanted to. Who was I thinking of when aiming that spear?? Thats for
me to know and you to find out ;)) Tribal Council comes round yet again and
I vote GameCube and because of cheating by an ex tribe mate, BB resigns
from the game> I was very sad to see him go:( and at the same time I
feel a selfish sense of relief cos my vote which was a 'draw from the hat"
type vote saves the person I nominated.

Another Web challenge.. I win! not really wanting a t-shirt seeing it costs
me 200 bucks to clear at the PO here...

oh sheesh!!!!!!! What am I doing this weeks Challenge in the NG for!! To
win yet another T-Shirt!! This is as far as I go! I am not about to lay my
cards open. to pay 200 bucks for a T-shirt!!

The only other thing I have to say is this.. I am aware that alliances are
switching. The ladies and "oldies" are being gunned for by the AWTeeners.
May the best person win!! J

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.
