Tribal Council II

[Amanda Kimmel]

Welcome back, everyone!


THE RULES:
1. Voting deadline is typically about 24 hours, however there will sometimes be an exception. Read the deadline at the bottom for the official time - no late votes will be accepted!
2. If you're playing a reward, please state so in the same post as your vote.
3. Please make a voting history thread and place all of your votes in that thread. If you wish to change your vote, feel free to do so! Please edit the SAME post so I know which parchment to use and everyone knows who you voted for when confessionals open. I will check votes at the deadline for the sake of posting them, so you don't need to tell me that you changed it.
4. When casting your vote, please state a reason WHY you are voting for that person. Doesn't have to be anything spectacular.
5. In order for your vote to count, you MUST answer your question here at Tribal and write at least one confessional for the round. Neither has to be anything fantastic - just do it. I will be a bit flexible with this early in the game, but later on I won't be.
6. If you have immunity, you MAY give it to someone else, but please do ASAP. If you give immunity away, you will get an HII shard, but will be vulnerable this round.
7. Please use the parchment! Continually not doing so will make you look too lazy to be an All-Star.

The parchment:

IMMUNE: ACE, ANTHONY

As there are still 16 of you, I will again have to ask everyone the same questions.

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?


Votes are due at 10:00 PM Eastern tomorrow (Tuesday). Good luck everyone!

[Colton Cumbie]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind?
I am thinking I got to do better at the challenges.
Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?
Taking this one round at a time.
2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?
What people tell me.
3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?
Their is no way.

With all these twists Amanda I think 1 round at a time.


2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

Keeping active players around so the tribal part, if there is one , should be more fun.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?


OMG, absolutely no way, you can never know. You can only hope the others want to keep you.

[Ace Gordon]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?

I think you have to be ready for anything in this game, so both.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

Activity, dedication, and communication.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?

Thankfully I have immunity tonight, and I'm going to ensure I'm safe by keeping it even though a second shard would be nice...

[Brianna Varela]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?
i'm taking it as if we merged really early, you gotta adapt quickly this is survivor after all so i'm going to take it one round at a time and how i am going to get myself farther, yes.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?
who's not going to help me win the million

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?
i find out who the majority is voting and i vote with them.

[Kenny Hoang]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?
Both you just figure out 1 round at a time and try to form bonds along the way.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?
On what is the best for my survival in this game and to improve our big tribe.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?
Well Survivor is a social game so you talk to people and try to figure out what is going on.

[BANNEDgie Jakusz]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?

Taking it one round at a time seems like the best thing to do where I am.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

I've got reasons for voting the way I do, and it'd be no fun if I just spoiled them

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?

You bribe them, of course. Bribe all the people. All of them.

(Note: everyone I promised $500 to for saving me last round please AIM or PM me your details ASAP)

And as a serious answer, I'll say...well, making sure people like you, that's always been how you win this game.

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?

Ah, so many things are weaving in and out and it is hard to contain everything. But at the moment both. Obviously one needs to worry about the here and now and make sure they are sticking around, but on the other hand, bonds are forming whether you are making any or not. This is a social game as some have touched on; you need relationships to stay afloat.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

My vote is being based on trust mostly. There are people you can trust, others you can't, naturally. I think I'm slowly deciphering who is trustworthy and who is not and those that aren't will be found the door.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?

You can never be sure unless you have immunity. Since I do not, I can only say I must put trust and faith in the people I have spoken with that I will not be leaving tonight. If I am, then so be it.

[Anthony Robinson]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?
I'm trying to take this one round at a time. At the same time I'm starting to get to know people and hopefully that will help once we are separated into tribes.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?
Trust and gut feeling.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?
So far, fight in the immunity challenges since I'm taking this one round at a time. With tribes you have like a one in two shot at being immune for the week. Now it's a two in sixteen shot, which is just really scary. I had to finish a lot of work on the computer yesterday and that benefited me, so it was basically hitting two birds with one stone.

[Richard Hatch]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?
I am actually wondering when the appropriate time to get naked is. It's hard and I dont think anyone wants to make a solid alliance at this point because we dont know if we are going to be split in tribes, and if you make an alliance and they are on the other side then its like a big waste of time.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?
I feel like some people are just skating by and deserve to go, basically.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?
Well, if you aren't annoying and are active you should be okay haha, but who knows maybe I am annoying. You just never know.

[Chelsea Meissner]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?

You have to take it all one day at a time with these twists!

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

However the majority is voting.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?

You can always hope that it won't be you, but you never know until the votes are revealed.

[Michael Jefferson]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?

Its kind of a 50/50 thing to be honest. With the way this game had been going, its kinda hard to figure out whats best for you in the short term without thinking how that will affect you in the long run.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

Honestly, im basing my vote in social terms.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?

Trying to keep myself in touch with as many people as possible and also hearing what they have to say and try and agree in a consensus.

[Brenda Lowe]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?
I take every day one day at a time. We never know when/if we'll split into tribes, so why worry about tribes if they may never come to be? Though I am looking forward to the nifty tribe names we get if we DO go to tribes.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?
No bitch is safe around Brenda. Brenda breaks bitches in half. So if you're a bitch, watch out

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?
You never can be certain, but right now it's more about weeding out inactives than strategy..

[Shawna Mitchell]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?

I really wanna have tribes, because then everything will be more manageable. Aside from that, one round at a time.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?

Honestly, nothing really. Like there's so many options, it's kinda pointless to just go off one thing.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?

Hopefully I'll be unnoticed

[Alicia Rosa]

1. Right now, what's going through your mind? Taking this one round at a time, even with the massive tribe, or trying to form bonds that you could use if you are separated into tribes?
I think you must have a mix between the both things. You definitely need to take this game one step a time right now because there's no tribes and every Tribal Council is going to have, like, 16 people voting and deciding who's leaving this competition, but you still need to create some relationships that can guaranteed you in the next round and, also, help you when, maybe, we're divided into two or more tribes. If you focus on doing only one of those things, you're not helping your gameplay, but hurting it a lot instead. So, you definitely need to balance them out and hope that's enough to keep you here in Kalahari.

2. At this point, what are you basing your vote on?
Right now, my vote is going to be just on what's going to help me stay in the competition a few more days. That's it, I guess, because I don't think there's a big reason to take out someone when you're playing an individual game while there's sixteen people and no tribes.

3. With so many people around you, how do you ensure nobody's voting for you and that you're safe?
I think the best thing you can do is show everyone that you're nice person to talk and that you deserve to stay in the competition. With so many votes at this Tribal Council, things are definitely chaotic amongst us and there's no single way to know for sure what the hell is going to happen right now, but you have to keep your fingers crossed and keep hope alive that you'll survive to see another day and fight again to stay in the game.
