Tribal Council V

[Amanda Kimmel]

Come on in, 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. You may only play one kind of any reward and up to three in the same round.
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: ANTHONY

One specific question:
Anthony, you have immunity yet AGAIN. Think you needed it? Are you giving it up for a shard?


EVERYONE:
1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy? Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again? Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?



You have until 11:45 PM Eastern tomorrow (Saturday) to post a vote. Votes over AIM WILL be accepted due to this being a holiday weekend. Remember - Sunday is a day off. Good luck all!

-It's hard to be "more social" when I haven't seen so many people on AIM recently. The possibility of splitting into tribes - or teams - is always something to be way of, and you have to vote with the future in mind.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?
-Not an earthly idea, if you'd like the truth.

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?
-I'm basing my vote on someone who I haven't seen online and who hasn't attempted much of anything.

[Ace Gordon]

1. I don't think I'm being any more or less social than I would be otherwise, but yes, I am keeping in mind that we could very well go back into teams next round and if that's the case then I want to have the strongest team possible.

2. Like Brenda said, I really do not know what to make of this. I'm not sure if they will play into tonight's vote at all.

3. I am voting for someone to prove that I am not aligned with them, because apparently people are going around saying that I am aligned with this person. But just because I like someone on a personal level does not mean I am aligned with them.

[Jonathan Penner]

1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy? Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again? Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?

No, with my busy schedule, plus Easter preparations on top of the fact I knew I was out of the challenge and the round took 48 hours to complete, I haven't been on aim at all. Kind of difficult to when there's nothing to talk about.
If we split into tribes then I am all for it because being individual is really starting to get to me.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?

None at all actually. Because they won't be affecting me since I have not received any. In this vote? How the hell am I supposed to know? I don't know what anyone is carrying at the moment.

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?

Honestly? I'm basing it on what I think is the right thing to do based off activity and challenge performances throughout the whole game. There are some people I've still only talked to once and never bothered to talk to me. They are not a part of my game so I see no reason I shouldn't just vote for them at this point.

1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy? Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again? Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?

I'm just being myself, its hard to really plan anything with all these twists

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?

Definitely, I wouldn't want to be deceived

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?


Still undecided, like Ace said there is someone he is being associated with who now has a target, but it could be anyone so I'm never really sure until the deadline.

[Shawna Mitchell]

1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy? Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again? Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?

Well, I'm kinda going round by round. There's no point playing to what you don't know.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?

I'm really not concerned about them. Like, agian, why worry about what you can't predict?

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?

I'm voting for what should help me in the game.

[Kenny Hoang]

1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy? Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again? Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?
I play round by round because you never know what will happen the next round.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?
I'm not concerned with that at the moment, but it might play an important role later in the game.

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?
What will help me in the game.

I think you have to always expect the unexpected here in Kalahari. You need to keep being social with everyone because, while this is actually an individual game, sometimes there will be Tribal Councils where only a limited number of players are going to cast their votes, just like what happened at the last round when only the Yellow Team voted out a player, so you need to prepare yourself for all the curveballs you're presented and do whatever you can to dodge all of the bullets that come in your way.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?
People are lying about what's going on at the Deception Valley? Really? I didn't know anything about. I guess I'll have something to investigate over the next few days...

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?
As always, I'm just trying to be here for a couple more days. I'm voting for the option that can take me further into this competition or, at least, get me through to the Final 12 of this game.

[Anthony Robinson]

One specific question:
Anthony, you have immunity yet AGAIN. Think you needed it? Are you giving it up for a shard?
For my mental state I sure needed it, I don't like being so stressed but girl with this big tribe the game is just so stressful. For my safety in the game, you never know, but I think so. I am not giving up immunity.

EVERYONE:
1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy? Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again? Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?
I am always mildly social, I just like to chat with people but due to me not being on in the evening I can't catch everyone on. The ambiguous future doesn't change anything. I am not targeting someone, just voting someone.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?
Wow no clue, which lies lol.

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?
I think what other people are gonna do and what will hopefully help me in the game.

[Richard Hatch]

1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy? Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again? Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?
Honestly, I have been hearing my name come up from several people, so I dont know how far in the future I can really think. I could try and scramble up some kinda vote for someone less active than me because I honestly do think I would be an asset to people but -shrug-

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?
I am jealous of everyone going to deception, I want a prize damnit! But I probably will never see it I just have to depend on my body to get what I want.

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?
Im basing my vote on..what can maybe help me stay? If thats possible? lmao.

[Yau-Man Chan]

EVERYONE:
1) What does the ambiguous future have to do with your strategy?

The world is unknown so I wouldn't expect Kalahari to be any different, Yau Man will continue to be himself and hope he can get a little further in the game with these lovely ladies and guys!!!


Are you being more social in case you're divided into teams again?

I am generally a really social person outside of being sick, my birthday and easter all humping each other for my attention. Enemy or friend I am just the kind of person who gives everyone a shot to hang out and shoot the shit.

Are you targeting someone who could potentially hurt your position in a team setting?

Teams Vs No Team is a big thing. Its the difference between Big Brother play and Survivor. On teams you rely on strength to carry a team to victory... individually those who are strong get jewed!!! Personally I am not wasting my time worrying about whether we tribe or not and just going with the flow.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?

It could either be a chaotic hot mess, or simple. Time will tell.

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?

I am basing my vote on my gut instinct of what the future holds. For those who took the time to talk me about the vote and what I think is fair.

Oh goodness, this game has been a whirlwind so far, lol... If I knew the future I could probably plan my strategy better, lol. I haven't changed my social game thinking we may be divided into teams or anything. Sometimes revealing how/why you are "targeting" someone is not really a smart move.

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?

For me... I haven't heard much about Deception...

Theres no way of telling what's going to happen next in this game so you just have to take it one day at a time and play to the bet of your ability

2) There has to be some concern about the lies coming out of Deception. How do you think they will play into this vote?

It's too early to tell, I mean anything can happen.

3) What are you basing your vote on tonight?

Who I've heard from others and also who I've talked to the least in this game.
