Episode One - Here We Go!!

I'm totally excited and pumped about the start of this game. I feel like the odds of me being successful are very, very good. For some odd reason, I'm feeling some good vibes about my tribe. The Thitu tribe has some inactive players. The Lankiam tribe has all old-school people and I just feel like they will automatically have past grudges with one another and be at each others throat. So, that just leaves the Kapuluan tribe to worry about. I just think we have the strongest tribe and the best chance at being successful together. Anyway, wish me luck!

I'm pleased with this first round so far. We have a fully active tribe and I absolutely love my tribe! I ended up submitting a buff for our tribe to use and I think we may have an immunity win in our future. I just hope that the tribe stays as active and entuised as we are right now!

P.S. I'm really hoping the Thitu tribe loses. Women outnumber men ten to six in this game so I'm hoping the number of those women can be severely cut down to where its almost even numbers.

Alright, so Nansha won the very first immunity in the first immunity challenge. That was definitely a good feeling and an even greater feeling knowing I was a significant provider in winning that challenge. After the results were posted, a twist was revealed announcing that a mysterious tribe would get the honor of voting at any tribal council your tribe attends. Another twist was revealed that previous votes pretty much have no effect in this game. If there is a tie vote, a re-vote will occur. If there is another tie, both players will go home. That means that previous votes mean absolutely nothing. So, to me, there is really no point in trying to worrying about previous votes. It's really just as simple as making sure that you have enough people on your side to guarantee you don't go home, even with the extra vote from another tribe.

So, to close the round, I decided to drum up some support for me. I just now offered an alliance to Burton and I can't wait to hear back his response. If he agrees to and accepts this alliance, I'll feel very confident in where I sit in this game.

Jeff, you've already got a great game going! Tip of the cap to you, my friend!

Oh! One last thing! I'm going to try to figure out which tribes vote for which when tribal councils are attended. Let's see. The four tribes are Nansha, Kapuluan, Thitu, and Lankiam.

Thitu will receive a vote from the Nansha tribe.

I know that to be a fact since I am a member of the Nansha tribe and I just don't think that I could forget something like that! I'm also thinking:

Lankiam will receive a vote from the Kapuluan tribe.

I think I have good reasoning for this statement. Lankiam is going to tribal council this round. That was revealed sometime yesterday. Since that was revealed, the posts in the Kapuluan tribe thread have shot way up. Heck! They even have more posts than we do now! I think the reasoning for that is they are discussing who to vote for. So, I feel confident in that assumption.

Finally, I think that...

Kapuluan will receive a vote from the Thitu tribe
AND
Nansha will receive a vote from the Lankiam tribe.

I just don't think the tribe we will be voting for will be voting for us also. Same for Kapuluan and Lankiam. I just don't think that the twist would fall that way. I could be wrong, but I feel good about my guesses!
