Day 4
"qahtan"

- Hidden in plain sight? Maybe it's the Base Camp's group photo.. just gotta find out which mosque it is..

"qahtan"

- "WOO!! I WASN'T A FLOP IN THE CHALLENGE!! Oh and we won first place. Old schoolers got dead last, and I'm sorry to say, but a lot has changed in two years. You're fighting a new breed of players.

What does that mean for myself? Well I get to take a rest day ^.^

Sorry to see Jesper go :c Didn't really know him, but knowing Ricky, probably worked with him and wanted me to work wit him. I'm starting to realize that Ricky is one of the more connected people in this game, and he's gonna be a threat down the road. I don't like that, keeping my eyes peeled for him. This may work out with middle + new vs old?? Idk, just speculating.

I'm honestly thinking about the edgic a little bit, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm just OTTP? Ehh, no reason to have big game talk right now, just building strong ties."

"bariq"

- Brilliant! It worked! Wooo! Now Jeremy is out, and we have the majority! Now two things are for sure in this world, I'm (somewhat) in control of the game and Bailey sucks! we [myself, Amir, Skandi & Mihai]

"qahtan"

- I wonder how much should I worry about these Tumblr people. They are probably a tight knit, at least for the far end game. ughh.. too much paranoia

"bariq"

- Mischief managed Emotikon wink Jeremy was out in a 7-1 vote, and everyone has gained some trust in each other. Every first tribal council with a new tribe is nerve wrecking, but I think this one was rather predictable. I didn't even have to mention Jeremy's name to anyone, people just came to me and asked for confirmation that it is indeed him going home. Jeremy's TC answer shows that he was a really intelligent guy, as he figured my thumb rule - Observe, Learn and Act. right now I'm still deep in the Observe phase, and what I get from this vote is Alfons and Mihai having something going on behind my back. What made this vote more crucial was the fact Skandi found a fucking idol! you may ask how? well, he got the clues from Joan. Joan has some weird deal with Skandi which I don't really get, but if it could help us in the switch, my friend's friend is also my friend. They have an alliance consisting of Joan, Jessy, Sam and Tyler R, which are all people I'd like to work with later on. Anyway, Skandi was really nervous and actually considered playing the idol, but I managed to make him listen to the voice of logic. Fist tribals in an allstars season are always the same - everybody gang up on the weakest social player (sorry Ali :P) and he's going home in a unanimous vote. Now all we need is to win the next immunity.

"shehr"

- "Round 2 has started and so far things are going good on the tribe. We seem to be communicating pretty well, which seems to be the key factor in this challenge if we want to succeed. Obviously if we can get our combined score as close to 700 as possible, we stand a really good chance of staying safe.Last night there was a bit of activity as well. Since I knew the answer to the Qahtan tribe idol, Molly and I decided to help Sam find her tribe's idol. For me there were a lot of benefits to this. Firstly, we extend the hand of trust out to her and show that we could be potential allies down the line. In a game where things change on the dime, building bonds is imperative. The other benefit to this is that we get a bit of information about the idol and their tribe. Sam answered correctly but didn't find the idol, so we know that someone else on that tribe has an idol. This information could be useful down the line. Molly also wants to reveal to Amelia that I have the real idol, and I'm not too thrilled about the idea. If I confess to them that I have it, I risk placing distance between them and myself. I don't want to plant that seed of doubt. Molly is probably in the best position as far as i'm concerned. It appears she's everyone's #1. Amelia and her are close, her and Ricky are close, her and Yap are close, her and Taylor are close, her and I are close. I want her and Ricky to be my main people and Molly is one of my favourite people, but I've played with the Social Queen Heather twice and now I know what danger signs to look for. She's still my #1, alongside Ricky, but I just want to make sure I'm also her #1. One thing I'm a little uneasy about is the number of people learning about me having the real idol. My intent was to only have Molly and Ricky know. When we helped Sam, we revealed that I was holding our idol to her, aand in hindsight we should have told her Ricky had it. Now if we tell Amelia, the number is up to 5 people in the game knowing about my idol and that can get pretty #messy. My main priority right now is to win the challenge so we can relax for another couple of days. Wish us luck!"

"shehr"

- Finally I feel happy again in my tribe. Made a new alliance with Tyler P and Tom. I have a great feeling about it! Also, Jamie and me are still really close Ricky is getting nicer and Amelia is still as amazing as she was in the begin. I feel finally I can get far in this game now. But I'm not going to underrate it... it'll be still very difficult. I'm also happy we got so close in this challenge with the whole tribe, we really have a good teamwork. If we win this one again we'll defenetily slay the other tribes in the pre-merge phase!

"qahtan"

- ok so we won the challenge yay! And started looking for the idol. I was on call with Sam and Kevin and we were looking for it together and when Kevin left, Sam was like "I would rather me or you get the idol because if I don't get it, I want you to." And the only thing I'm thinking is "Sam is a fucking liar." LI-AR! LIAR!! I just feel like Sam is shady af. Idk why I feel that way I just do. But I would rather have Sam with me then against me. Also Sam is bossy as hell. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to my mom like.... >_> also I have a 4 person alliance with Sam, Kevin & Jessy and another with Joan, Sam and Jessy BUT Joan decided to be messy af and tell Jamie about the alliance and that we are looking for a 5th. UM......honestly Joan plz. I mean Jessy could be lying on Joan idk exactly tbh & I just found out Jessy and Jamie are partners in the new season of TAR on the TRE Org. That's also suspect af!!! This whole tribe is shady as shit. I just wanna win so I won't be out early ;-;

"shehr"

- What an adventurous full few days! Not only did we win the challenge but we got the luxury of letting one of our players go without the power of the vote. When I am sad to see Jesper go, his loss was our victory. His head was not in the game and no matter what's going on in his life right now this wasn't the right time for him to be playing! Having him leave may less the numbers but that actually benefits us as we get to move forward in the game. Bye Jespie!! You will be missed

"shehr"

- So we got the first clue to the hidden immunity idol! It was pretty obvious where to start so me and my group got together and we really pushed through it! After a little bit of searching Tyler found the Idol! We also hid a few fake ones so we could grab them so we could have believable screen caps proving that we may have idols well! Molly, Tyler and I all know Tyler has the idol -- but we told our alliance that I have it. Hopefully this confusion down the line helps us in a beneficial manner

"shehr"

- "I'm loving this challenge!

So we've just figured out how we're gonna get that 100 average perfectly! Once we hear from Molly and Amelia and make sure they know the plan, we should be set!

Let's hope the other tribes don't think about submitting zeros."

"bariq"

- I survived! hahaha. And now I'm the swing vote without doing jack shit. I dunno how I got here, but I like it. Lukas/Blane/Amir on one side, Charley/Skandi/Mihai on the other, and both want my vote. I'm in such a great position on day 4, I can't believe it.

"shehr"

- " It's kinda funny that Amber thinks she's so slick, making alliances with everyone. She made a 3 person with me and Tyler. A 3 person with Ricky and Jamie. And a 2 person pair with Amelia.  So basically we know that Molly is top of her hit list, followed by Amelia and probably me and Tyler. Fortunately, all the OGs already got together to make a sweet alliance.  Sorry Amber, Idk how you made it so far in A-L with such aggressive play.

She wants to talk game talk suddenly, but we're not even at tribal yet, like holy crap. Can we just have fun please smile emoticon I REALLY like my tribe and the people are hecka cool. Let's not ruin it with discussing who we're voting out.

Sorry Jesper had to get medivaced and it's leaving you partially alone, but you can't just super really on one person. Should've done work sooner.

Also, Ricky found the idol SUPER quick and let us know he has it. So it's pretty clear he's on our side smile emoticon

I'm feeling pretty pumped bout the game early on. Great first challenge. Great tribemates. I'm in a comfortable position...for now. haha"

"qahtan"

- http://vocaroo.com/i/s0TV47IXb6rY < Voice confessional

"qahtan"

- I promised not to make bitchy remarks but Ricky posting cat images is changing a cat person into a dog person.

"bariq"

- Ahhh hopefully our tribe can get our butt over the line, otherwise I'm in a sticky situation, mainly because I don't know who to vote for! I fucking love everyone on our tribe. If we go to Tribal, I'd consider Blaine except there are 2 problems: 1) Blaine is one of our strongest players and if we lose, we can't afford to deteriorate our strength, and 2) If Blaine goes, EVERYONE, in the other tribes and in the viewing lounge will think I'm running the show, why? Because Jeremy went out last, and if Jeremy and Blaine both go out... what does that hint? It hints that I'm gunning for all my Cuba foes. So I guess the second option for the vote would probably be Dallas, although if we go to tribal I'll probably try and urge someone else to decide, so it's on them, not me. But regardless, I hope we can pull through this challenge, it's crucial for us.

"qahtan"

- So I also told Jamie and Amber about how to find the idol, apparently they aren't smart enough to figure out how to solve the anagram... I'm not gonna waste my time on solving something that I will probably not benefit from, however if they can't solve it, there is still hope that the idol will still be hidden. Anyways Ive also been bonding with Yap, other than the members of my alliance (Sam, Jessy and Tyler) the thing is that if I maintain a good relationship with somebody of that supposed enemy alliance and they get majority, they will vote out others before me.

"shehr"

- "so i feel like i should make a confessional about the past couple days. We barely came in second in the first challenge, and right after results were revealed, jesper effectively quit the game due to medical reasons. which was like.... why did we try so hard in the challenge but u never know maybe he was waiting in case we lost and he could prevent someone from going idk we talked twice probably. ANYWAY that would leave amber a little screwed, right? right. so here's what she does about it: she makes 500 million aliances with the rest of our tribe EXCEPT ME. NOT ME. I KNOW THEY HATED ME. I DID NOTHING TO THEM BUT WHATEVER. we (and by we, i mean the other four members of not from europe) spilled the ins and outs of their convos with amber. basically she wanted the trio with ricky and jamie that she already had, in conjuction with the trio between her,tyler, and tom, and then a side alliance with amelia. this is probs so that she can pull amelia either way with her, and i would be her first target. but here's the thing sweetie, you are not the alliance queen, and, believe it or not, the people on this tribe have their own alliances:~) you are not running SHIT so you better cool it. we're currently in the tiebreaker for the challenge (i accidentally told sam our average was 100 and theirs was 75 so this might be my fault) so oops.

OH AND ANOTHER THING

tyler and I told sam in a chat we have with her and 20 other people about the idol (i mightve already made a confessional about this oops) because we wanted her to find the middle school idol but it was already gone rip. so we done fucked up."

"qahtan"

- " I'm bored and since I feel like my confessionals are not that detailed I think I'm going to make an analysis of all my tribe mates and other people that are relevant to my game as of now.

Sam - she is my closest ally, both me and her are working to find who found the idol. I trust her a lot and I believe the trust is mutual, however the reason I chose her as my ally is that I know she is going to be targeted for sure so I can just sit pretty meanwhile she gets all the blows.

Tyler - he is the second person I trust the most in my tribe, he is fun, nice and it's always entertaining to talk to him.

Jessy - she is the one person in my alliance I trust the least, she is slightly underrated as of how much of a threat others perceive her. We also don't talk that much. I should try getting to her more often.

Yap - I love him so much, he is so nice and chill. Was I to protect somebody other than my allies it would be him, I would like getting him into my alliance.

Cali - She isn't good at challenges, she isn't good at strategy (FFS do you think it's smart to ask everybody for an alliance?) she isn't good at social, like I think I've talked more to Taylor than to her.

Taylor - He lives in the other side of the world, legit, he is nice and all that but I feel he is attempting to slip under the radar. His performance during this challenge also ticked me off, I feel like he is not trying his hardest, this combined to his under the radar strategy is a cry for snuff.

Kevin - He is possibly the person I like the least in the tribe, I don't dislike him tho I like him but not that much as the others, earlier today I talked to him and I asked him what he worked as, he replied and then I tried to continue the conversation and he just would keep saying how he has worked eight years there and blah blah blah, it was as if he only wanted to talk about himself. He is also soooooo big about his work like he says how many shifts he has and what not, it's not smart to say that for the love of stick.

Skandi - my closest ally from old school, we practically share the idol since if he won't use it on me in the swap or merge he knows that I'll rat on his possession of the idol as revenge. I do not trust him, however he does trust me and that's good because I will see if he is going to try to stab me in the back, but he won't.

Jamie - She is my closest ally together with Amber in new school, I think that she knows that I kind of distrust her however she won't try to pull some Topaz shit on me because I bet she knows I'll find out and flip it on her.

Amber - she is sweet and not the brightest, however I think I can use Jesper's unfortunate fate to make her think we have the mission of making it to the end together. Sure it's not the nicest move, however it's not mean or anything.

Blaine - He is nice, however he shady ~

So yeah I hope you enjoyed this confessional..."

"shehr"

- "I'm in a bit of a bad mood today.

So first off, we all tied in this challenge, not too surprising but disappointing. That doesn't upset me, but this tiebreaker is fueling my frustration a little bit. I'm doing my best to get a high score but i just can't seem to get up there.

I'd say about half the tribe is doing well and fighting hard in this challenge, the other half is kinda coming up with reasons why they shouldn't do it. Like i mean if they're not wanting to come off as comp beasts then whatever I get it but at least show you're trying! Like tiebreaker was announced and suddenly people are like https://33.media.tumblr.com/be0d9fa6e0d6335951b292ea17af9a47/tumblr_inline_nihy8w1zRm1stpaip.gif

Maybe it's that I'm used to being on corvo where we all just dominated and did our best, but come ON it's all-stars, we're playing against some of the best, let's slay their lives!

Rant over, back to this god damn cricket game."

"qahtan"

- So, I feel like I'm in a good spot in my tribe. Boomshakalaka is going strong with me, tyler, sam and jessie. But, I am worried, because I know how much of a strong player all three of them can be. I'm not putting all my eggs in that basket, but as long as I don't get 22nd place again, everything will be fine

"shehr"

- This challenge is really nerve-wracking! We worked super hard to get it onto 100 exactly and of course, it’s All-Stars so the other tribes did too. Right now we just need to decide who is gonna play with Tom to get the highest score. Ricky’s really strong, but I pulled a 222 which is a really high score, so I think it’ll come down to us two. I just hope we win immunity because I wanna avoid as many tribals as possible; I feel like my reputation as a backstabber might still potentially hold me back going forward and if I can just not go to tribal council and be on tribes that win lots of immunities, I’ll obviously fare much better.

"qahtan"

- Basically Tyler Ridgeway knows and is aligned with everyone. (also Amelia should be there too but I didn’t know who they were aligned with on their tribe) Right now my biggest fear is a fuckboy alliance between Kevin, Yap, Taylor and possibly Tyler which means that I need to ensure that I have Jessy, Cali and Joan. The issue is no one trusts Joan. He’s been going around talking to the other tribes and trying to get information and then he just tells everyone, so any plans we have we can’t tell him because we’re scared he’s gonna blab. Then we also have Cali to worry about because she asked literally everyone on our tribe for an alliance. I want to vote out Ridgeway (when you see this I’m sorry) because if he doesn’t go soon, he’ll en up in the finals. No one seems to want to vote him out because they all want to add him to alliances and I can’t be the first one to bring up the idea of taking him out. So if all the guys are in fact together then we could be looking at a 4-4 tribal and Jessy wants to sacrifice Cali in that case because we’re not willing to go to rocks for her. My future in the game isn’t looking very bright so hopefully we win this immunity challenge because I need that damn idol clue. Side note: If Amelia and I are both on jury then we’re starting a band.

"shehr"

- I'm in less of a bad mood now. I've given up on the challenge and i'm just gonna let the people who somehow unlocked the secret to success represent us. Taking a break from it really helped me feel better, but if I hear that crowd noise going "ohhhh" one more time i'm gonna punch something.

"qahtan"

- "Fuck this challenge. I hated it playing the first time I played it, the second time I played, and well.. it's the third time and I still hate playing this challenge. Onto game talk. At this point, the two I feel the closest are Sam and Joan. We talk nearly every day, and it's just reassuring to me. We even promised each other's backs, and even though we've had no way of proving it yet, I trust them, for this phase of the game anyway. Taylor and I finally had a skype call after I promised him one a few days ago. It was an hour long talk about half strategy talk and half shooting the breeze. APPARENTLY from what he talked with Ricky about what time, there's this rumor that the Endure people are one big pregame. Which is utterly wrong, but people want to latch onto something to get the targets off their backs. I really hope that isn't a thing this game, it's screwed people in other games because of that damn stigma. But Taylor and i agree on one thing, we need to form an alliance/safety net pretty soon. Even though we're not tight, in a game sense, I guess we are. Well due to the tie, I decided to pipe up and do the tiebreaker. Man do I regret it.. Sure I got like around 800 one time, but that's because I spent hours on it. And I'm doing that right now. Well I got about 700 in the end, SO EVEN IF WE LOSE, I'D BETTER NOT BE VOTED OUT FOR BEING SUCH A HUGE ASSET ON THIS TRIBE. (shout out to Sam for getting us the tie, so go her!) Honestly, it's scary that I'm not in some alliance chat right now. Even if it was fake, it'd at least be reassuring. There has to be one on this tribe right now, there's gotta be. Unless the off chance there isn't one. Ughh.. idk it's just paranoia. But it won't surprise me if there is one, and I'm not a part of it. The best I can do from here is just form bonds individually, and if people catch wind of Taylor and I trying to form an alliance, let him take all the heat for it. What's great right now is that I'm such a huge asset in challenges for this tribe. Killing it in the dance last challenge, and THIS MOTHERFUCKING CHALLENGE, I should be good for this phase. Hopefully >.>"

Day 5
"bariq"

- UGH WE LOST AGAIN. Seriously, that sucks! The guys on the tribe worked so hard only for us to wind up at tribal again.. Last tribal, I felt nervous because I'm a paranoid wreck who just always feels nervous. This tribal? Nope, I actually might be on the chopping block. I sucked at this challenge, I wasn't here to really try. Only two people could submit anyways, but it was still weak. for me. Everyone is treating me like their best friend. If I believe them, then I'm queen of the goddamn desert and I'm set until the merge. But I don't believe a word out of any of their mouths, and I'm terrified. I'm surrounded by liars and snakes, and I gotta outfox all of them or I'll be going home.

"qahtan"

- I AUTOMATICALLY BEAT MY ALL STAR PLACEMENT MOTHERFUCKER

"qahtan"

- "YAY!! TYLER AND I WON THE FUCKING CHALLENGE! We also basically cemented ourselves for this phase of the game. Like not to be confident, but let me just toot my own damn horn by saying getting that clutch 700 points when the rest of my tribe couldn't was pretty awesome. Ain't no worries today!

So Dallas just blows up and tells everyone about some ""obvious"" winner's alliance on old school. Lol good to know, I guess. Honestly, not even really thinking much about their tribe. It did get Taylor and myself to talk some more. Got on a skype call, chatted. Some good game talk here and there, I feel better about our working relationship. On to the next episode!"

"bariq"

- I'm so sad we lost, you guys have no idea. I love this tribe, it's probably the best I've ever been a part of. I think that for this vote I'm the deciding person, because there are two alliances: the non-single gay lads fraternity or the gayshore alliance (lol) constiting of me, amir, lukas and skandi and the other one with charley, blaine and dallas. I think I'm in a good spot, but it's tricky playing on both sides. I told the guys we should vote for dallas because I havent talked to him that much and I genuinely like charley and blaine and the guys want us to convince charley and blaine to vote for dallas as well, but if they're smart they won't do it, to be honest. I don't know, man, I hate you for putting so many great people in one tribe. Emotikon frown

"qahtan"

- Skandi once again told me he wants to go to the final with me... Nothing personal but I want to win lmao

"bariq"

- playing with skandi is fun

"qahtan"

- I have been also been talking to Yap and we bonded a lot, I really like him and we kind of have an unofficial alliance where we watch out for each other's backs after we both proved ourselves as hard working. However I must not let him know about my other alliance with Sam, Jessy and Tyler, that would make him feel in the bottom immediately and he'd not trust me at all.

"qahtan"

- so Yap & I pulled through and got Qahtan another victory! That was a close one honestly! Old school is going back to tribal (that's gotta suck ;-;) but I'm just glad we are safe! Cali is loyal to me so at the first tribal we go to imma try to make sure she's safe because loyalty is everything in this game. She can be my Miguel and I'll be her Boo Emotikon kiki YAS GAWDT *in my Boo voice* but for now we can just chill and hopefully I can find this idol although at this rate idk what will happen tbh

"bariq"

- Not sure whether the other tribes are metahumans or that we're just shit! Oh it sucks that we are falling apart like this, but we would probably have to trim our losses even further, which means keeping the tribe strong. Hate playing like this, hopefully we don't end up like Ulong.

"shehr"

- It's day 5! It's amazing thought I will wake up here tomorrow again. It's not the same as in Alsace-Lorraine. It was like waking up with Melca and Jimmy where I talked a lot with and now it's just: hi, hey, anything heard about hidden idols? But yeah, this tribe is fun but I'm still unsure about my place. I'm also afraid that someone else already has found the idol... but I really need it!

"shehr"

- Yesssss, we’re immune again, and we dominated so much. I’m so glad we had Ricky and Tom to drag us, but even if we didn’t, my score of 621 would’ve kept us safe. I’m glad that even if I didn’t beat the 621 and get to have a part in the tiebreaker, I still had the highest score for a lot of the duration of the challenge which proves to my tribe that I’m valuable in challenges. Anything I can do to make my tribe keep me, I’ll do — whether that’s spending all day on some stupid cricket game or posting every 10 minutes in an endurance challenge lmao.

"bariq"

- The last challenge was a total waste of time. We worked together perfectly only to be beaten again by the same people - Yap, Ricky and Tom. Just thinking about how many hours these guys had to spent on this stupid game to get those scores leads me to the conclusion that these people have either no job, no hobbies, no friends or none of the above. Even if you get the hang of the game relatively fast, it takes long hours of playing to rack up such score when there's no bonus you can exploit. So once again I want to try and get the entire tribe to vote out our dead weight, but we have too much of it. It's just sad how Charley and Dallas are equally useless in challenges that it doesn't even matter which one would go home. Letting us vote both of them out tonight would save all of us a lot of time and frustration. Right now people seem to be leaning towards Dallas, which is good because Skandi has a close relationship with Charley which we could use later if we need to blindside Alfons/Mihai. The only thing that makes me uneasy about this vote is knowing our tribe isn't going to get stronger anyway.

"shehr"

- Tyler Ridgeway and I spoke a little today and I think a new alliance has formed. We're Tyler Squared. This would be my first game not trying to be the last Tyler standing. He is the Tyler to my Tyler. This is probably the most times I've said Tyler in sucha short span of words.

"bariq"

- Maybe I'm not in as good of a position as I had thought. We lost another challenge which sucks, and now we have to vote someone out again. But everyone's stopped talking to me, and I'm not sure if it's because that's just how our tribe works, or if I'm the next to go.

"shehr"

- This day was so boring. Like nobody talked or something. But that's the case here. Only when there's a challenge or tribal council people are talking here. Tyler P is very quiet since a few days. That's kinda strange because he talked a lot with me. Anyway it's getting late, it looks like the others are sleeping or away so I'm going to sleep as well. Hoping tomorrow it will be fun again here.

"bariq"

- Oh my god Charley and I might have just pulled something off. We just convinced him there's an All-Winners alliance, because the winners are targeting me.

"bariq"

- Ugh, so I'm pretty sure that Dallas is gone. Mihai pitched it to me, but I didn't really want to do it. I agreed so I wouldn't go home. Apparently I was on the chopping block. I don't trust these guys at all, the only one I semi trust is Skandi, and even then... I hate this! I tried with Dallas to think of a way to help him, but it isn't going to work. So I'm voting for him basically to try save my own ass. But I don't want him gone. I was scared that we wouldn't work well together but.... He's still my friend. And I like him a lot. And it sucks hes going... I need to just get to the tribe swap. Then I can get with people I perhaps actually trust.

"bariq"

- Well it's over, I waited two years to return and it's over on Day 6 because someone sent their vote in too early. That's the way it goes I suppose, I'm hardcore rooting for Charley to win, but as long as an old school winner doesn't win, I'm okay with anyone.
