Communication is key to winning Survivor. In my opinion, it's the most important thing. Thus, it's always been a desire of mine to stay in touch with everyone as much and as often as possible. Unfortunately, this has recently caused a problem for me because I keep forgetting what I send to what people. I'm having to go back through and figure out what I said just to understand someones response to me. Thus, I figured it'd be much easier for me to come to one thread and read how the conversation has gone so far. This will also give you a little insight on the conversations I'm having. Clearly this will be a process that takes me a long time to complete. It'll probably take me forever just to get it all caught up to this point. So please understand this will be a frequently modified thread.  James |

[shadow=green,left,300]Jeanne[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey Jeanne!
How's it going? I was just chillin' around the board and decided to send you a message. I love your castaway choice! That's a very original one. It seems like everyone seems to play as the same old, same old people nowadays so I love atypical picks like yours. Anyway, stay in touch! I can't wait to get to know you a little better as a tribemate.
James----- hahaha, James was so funny on palau, always predicting things but only getting like 1 right xD haha I wanted to pm u because we're both on right now, so just figured that it'd be a good time. How are you?----- do'oh :facepalm: sorry James, I sent my pm to you before reading this one -_- but yeah, as I said, <3333 James, he was so funny =D to be honest, the typical picks of Amanda, Brook, JP, JT, Julie, & Stephenie are kinda blehh to me. That's why I wanted to pick Jeanne and I'm guessing that's why u picked James too =D ----- Hey Jeanne!
I am so, so sorry about missing you earlier! My fault! But you are exactly right. I feel like Survivor has had so many different people on it that brought so much to the table, so why must every ORG have the exact same people, ya know? James was a favorite of mine in Palau just because he was so darn funny. I loved the thick southern drawl, too. I hate to admit it, but I'm kinda working the southern drawl myself.
But, anyway, I absolutely love how talkative you are. That's amazing! I already feel like you're someone I'd want to talk to for hours and I barely even know you yet. So for that reason, you better keep these messages coming, Jeanne! I better not lose touch with you!!!!
James----- Haha, don't worry about it! We all can't be on 24 hours, its not a big deal hehehe, James's accent was such a strong character trait i feel the same way about all the Survivors we've had, over 200! and you still see the same 30 or so played all the time.
aww thanks James!! i love talking to you too, we really have a great chemistry so far. you know, I was actually talking to Jaime and she came up with the idea of making a solid core alliance with you & I, since she said that she enjoyed talking to both of us. I said yes to it, and she said she'll talk to you, so I just wanted to let you know too. It'd be great if you said yes, because we want to build up our numbers to 5 (just to have half), but still keep our original core of 3 solid. what do you think??----- Hey Jeanne!
Oh I know! We're definitely the atypical ones for picking people like Jeanne and Jaime, ya know?!
But, oh my gosh, thats so crazy. I was seriously just about to go write in my confessional about how much I was enjoying talking to you and Jaime. That's unbelievable! I would absolutely love that opportunity. I think we could make a pretty mean little team. I'm totally game for that. I'm thinking the three of us are the most social ones anyway. So, whatever I need to do to make it official, I'm game with that.
I won't lie. I'm a little bit afraid of large alliances. There are so many opportunities for collapse... and even still, I think with how social the three of us are we won't need an alliance that big to control numbers. But, I'm down for whatever. For real. If ya'll think it'll work, lets go for it!
Stay in touch, Jeanne....
James----- yay for the atypicals!! definitely though, the three of us are the best ones on Banayri the others dont even compare hahaha sorry, i just wanted an excuse to use the loser smilie face.
yeah, large alliances can be bad. I'd rather just try to set up a voting block for the first or second TC that we go to, so the three of us will control our tribe.----- Hey Jeanne
That is so funny what you said in that last message! I've been looking for a perfect time to use the loser smilie too! Hahaha!
Yeah I know what you are saying, though. I feel like that would probably be best. There are a few people on this tribe that I feel like would make good candidates to make the alliance a little larger, but I'd feel much more comfortable with it just being you, me, and Jaime.
So do you think JT or Julie will ever come on?! I'm really afraid we're about to blow it.
James----- yeah, i feel the same way about keeping our core group with the three of us. just out of curiosity, who were the people you thought would be good to add?
ugh, JT or Julie better sign on!!! we need to beat the other tribe.----- Hey Jeanne!
Sorry I'm just now replying to this. I've been doing some laundry. Call me crazy, but that is by far my favorite "chore". It doesn't bother me at all to do some laundry.
Anyway, ummm, I guess the way I worded that was kinda misleading. There are several people that I feel like would be good candidates for various reasons. To me, you and Jaime stick out above the rest and seem like people I can really talk to about anything. Then I feel like Ashlee, Greg, and Heidi are pretty talkative as well, and I'd consider them good friends. Amanda and JP haven't really talked to me very much, but they did their parts respectively in the challenge so they seem like they'd be pretty good. Then, of course, we have JT and Julie who have yet to show up. Frankly, I'm cool with whomever ya'll want to work with on the votes. That's my take on our tribemates so far. What do you think of them?
James----- haha its okay, laundry is kinda fun to do
yeah, I like Ashlee a lot too, and Amanda & I have had some pretty good conversations so far. JP doesnt seem to be too into the game if you ask me, but maybe its just that he's busy right now.----- Hey Jeanne!
I'm just now getting a chance to respond to this! Sorry! But, yeah, Ashlee seems like a real cool girl. I think she'd be someone good to work with and stuff. I'm a little jealous that you and Amanda have had some good conversations! I can't get much out of her. But I'm sure she's a cool girl, too. I totally agree about JP, by the way. He's contributing his share, but he doesn't seem to have much of a passion for the game or anything. I don't know, though? In my opinion, there are a bunch of us who should be able to survive the first two tribal councils we have to go to if you catch my drift.
Anyway, keep in touch, Jeanne!
James----- yeah, Ashlee's really cool. but i know what you mean about how there's almost too many good people on our tribe. if we start to lose, it'll be tough. all i know is that Julie's definitely are first boot, and that JT is our second boot. as far as I'm concerned at least, if you had something different in mind, tell me. But when u narrow it down to Amanda, Ashlee, Greg, Heidi, Jaime, you, me, & JP, its kinda hard to figure out who would deserve to go =\ ----- Hey Jeanne
Yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking as far as Julie and JT go. I'm really hoping that we can win enough challenges so that those two are really the only ones that we have to vote out, but I know thinking realistically, we'll probably lose more than that. Frankly, if I had to look that much further ahead and choose someone, I'd probably say JP would be next, but I'm really open to anything when we get to that point. Hopefully that'll be many days and maybe even weeks down the road!
Holla back!
James----- yeah. i mean we can't forget about the mutiny possibility too. that can really change a lot of things up. yeah, i would guess JP is 3rd, nobody else really sticks out as much as him. its not that he's bad, but he just doesn't have as much of a drive as the others, I think. but as far as I'm concerned, we get Immunity again thanks to Christa. ----- so Amanda was iming me and she gave me an offer of an alliance with her, greg, & heidi. she said she'd wanna pull u in there too. however, i'm not cool with it really. the thing is, i know that greg & jp are best friends, and that means that he's in that alliance too. i dont like it cause jp isnt too active. i talked to ashlee about everything and she said she'll try to help us, so she's in with us. that makes it 4v4 right now, with jt & ami in the middle. i think jt will be easy to convince (pretty much tell him vote jp or he'll be gone), and that means some work will have to be done on ami, but we can handle it. u following me on this?? tell me what you think----- Hey Jeanne
Wow. Thanks for giving me the heads up on that. Clearly, that's something that we'll have to come together and counter. I feel like me, you, and Jaime were already pretty tight, but I wouldn't mind adding Ashlee to that mix since we all like her anyway. I feel like it'd be good for security purposes to.
But, yeah, I totally agree about the vote. We really need to stay in touch with Ami so that she isn't such a Wild Card, and JT may have just managed to have a way to survive a few more days. Like you said, I think he could be convinced to vote for JP.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up on that. What did you tell her concerning adding me and you to the mix?
Keep me posted!
James----- your welcome, i just wanted to let u know in advance because it is going to be hectic once we lose. and we need to counter that, i wanted to tell u about it last night before Amanda got to you. i like her as a person, we've had good talks, but I don't really trust her anymore. yeah, we're kinda forced to add Ashlee now, since we'll be countering Amanda/Greg/Heidi/JP. she's already against them, so its good for us.
i PMed Ami last ngiht and she replied and told me that I'm the first one on the tribe to PM her, so hopefully that helps us there. I'll keep on talking to her and try to form a strong bond. and it should be super easy to convince JT to vote for JP, since that is the only way that he'll survive. and then we pile our votes onto his, and hopefully Ami does as well. we're set now <3
i didn't really comment on Amanda about you, but I told her that I liked the idea of an alliance. just because u cant really say no in a situation like that, but i didnt comment on u being in it, but she said that she would try to talk to u or something.----- Hey Jeanne
Alright, well, now its time to do work, I guess. It really sucks that we're having to go to tribal council, but hopefully we've got the support of Ami and JT. Obviously me, you, Jaime, and Ashlee are going to stick together, so we should be good in that sense.
The vote is still for JP right? And do you know who Amanda's alliance is going to target? I assumed it would be JT, but there is really no telling. I was just curious if you had any clue about that.
Stay in touch..
James----- yes, i think it should be JP that we go for. i would assume that Amanda's group is going for JT, but like you said, no telling for sure. i gotta jet to a doctor's appointment right now, I'll try to spread the word that the vote is for JP when i get back.----- Hey Jeanne
Alright that sounds good to me. I might go ahead and vote for JP then. I don't want to run the risk of going past the deadline.
That sounds good about spreading the word. I already talked to a few people about it. Ashlee seems to be on the same page with us. I haven't heard back from Jaime, but I'm sure she is on board as well. I also sent a message to JT telling him that I'd heard his name come up, but I felt like he'd be safe by voting for JP. I hope he goes along with that. I don't know much about Ami's voting thoughts. She and I have talked some but not alot. Hopefully she's on board, too. It looks like it could be a 6-4, maybe give or take a couple votes.
Stay in touch...
James----- yup!! it shuld all work out like that. hopefully itll be fine----- Hey Jeanne
Alrighty sounds good then. Hopefully this'll be the last tribal council for us for a little while.
James----- yup!! apparently heidi and amanda are voting jp now  easier than i thought.----- ROUNDS 4- Hey Jeanne
Well that last tribal council didn't end as I thought it would? That really sucks. But I don't feel too bad since Ami self-voted and could've saved herself. JP's little "fuck y'all" thing was really inappropriate. He's just making things worse on himself.
Anyway, shall we work on this challenge some?
James----- im pissed. i got a self-vote for changing (when many others changed), and jaime was being so difficult. she told me to change to ami. and right after i signed off, she pms me all "k im voting jp now" so i didn't vote jp =\ btw jp is making things worse with his comments----- Hey Jeanne
Yeah that was just a really strange tribal council. Why in the world was Jaime trying to make the vote for Ami? She always told me that she was gunning for JP? Ugh...
Anyway, yeah I know. JP just probably made things worse on himself for making that comment. Our tribe is getting really split now.
By the way, let's work on the challenge so we don't have to do tribal council again!
James----- well because heidi/greg were influencing her (at least i THINK, god knows what she was thinking ) and telling her to vote for ami cause she's the least active and we need to keep the original banayri together. basically she rehashed everything heidi told me, which i do NOT like. she was telling me that ami's less active (even though she had more posts than jp) and hasn't logged on in 24 hours, so she'd be worried. so i changed my vote and went to bed (had to get up at 8 for work ) and when i come home, i look in my pm box and RIGHT after i sign off she pms me saying that she ended up voting for jp. so pretty much she got me a self-vote for switching (which i pmed host about, because i'm about 99% sure others changed their votes, not just me) ----- Hey Jeanne
Damn. That does suck. That kinda concerns me about Jaime. I won't even lie. I mean, I know she's a good girl and everything, but I hope she doesn't always do that.
Anyway, now that we're unfortunately headed back to tribal council, are we going to go with JP again? Honestly, after his little "fuck y'all" comment, I think he's undoubtedly the one that needs to go.
Let me know something...
James----- yup, so far i've heard jp's name exclusively. so i think he's our best bet for now.----- Hey Jeanne!
Great win just now! I'm really pleased. I feeling the morale of this tribe is alot better without JP. That may be harsh, but it's really the way I feel.
Anyway, how's life? We're immune for a little while so why not take a chance to actually get to know each other a little better?
James----- |

[shadow=yellow,left,300]Amanda[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey Amanda!
How's everything going? Alright, so our first challenge apparently starts tonight, so I wanted to get in touch with you and hopefully start things off on the right foot as tribemates. Hope to hear back from you soon.
James----- That's great James,
I love having a real active, fun and talkative tribe,
I hope we can win it, and celebrate our victory together in nice warm pea water, eating bananas and popcorn ;D  ----- Hey Amanda!
Oh I know! I love how talkative these people are. We're amazing. It's seriously like a tight-knit little family here. I think its great.
That's hilarious about the win! For real, though? What is up with these new smilies?! I hate 'em! Haha They're so strange. But, yeah, winning the challenge really would be awesome. I'm liking our chances so far. You did a great job by stepping up and doing one of those mazes. That definitely helped us out alot!
Anyway, stay in touch, Amanda!
James----- Hey Amanda!
How's it going? It's been a little while since we've talked so I wanted to write ya. I'm loving how being such a dominant tribe gives us a few days to just chill and talk. That's pretty awesome. Anyway, where are you from? Have you played alot of these games before?
Holla back...
James----- Hey James!
Oh I know ey? what's your AIM? There is a lot to tell you----- Hey Amanda
Oh wow. Lots to tell, eh? That sounds good. My AIM is golfinredhead. I tend to use pm's more than AIM, but I can sign on there if I need to. What all do you need to tell me? 
James----- ROUNDS 4- |

What's up bro? How's everything going? I wanted to take a second and write you a message and hopefully start things off right between us. Are you pretty pumped for this game? Stay in touch...
James----- Hey, I appreciate the message. Everything's going good over here! How are ya?----- Hey JP!
No problem, bro. I'm glade I could send ya one. I'm doing great, too... especially now that I'm seeing what a good start this tribe is off to in the challenge. We're already getting close to actually being finished. That's incredible! Anyway, stay in touch, bro.

[shadow=pink,left,300]Heidi[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey Heidi!
How's it going? I wanted to take a second and send you a message. First challenge tonight! Are you excited for it? I know I sure am! Anyway, I'm hoping we can stay in touch throughout the game so hopefully I'll hear back from you...
James----- Hey James!
I saw your karma , so I exalted you.
I'm glad you sent me a PM though, I haven't been introducing myself to people yet lol. As for the challenge I'm definitely excited. This game looks really promising and I'm glad to be casted.
Hopefully we have a more active tribe than them. =]----- Hey Heidi!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the exalting! I really don't know why people feel the urge to smite people. Well, I mean, I kinda do. But I hadn't even posted my AIM or given anyone a reason to hate me yet. Before I ever posted anything, I had a -4. I guess someone had a vendetta against James? Oh well, sad story! I'm just really glad people like you are helping me out on that one. I'm almost back to normal!
You're welcome for the message. As you can probably tell by now, I'm a little social butterfly, so I had to do that. I'm judging by the looks of things, we are a much more active tribe than Kadarma. If nothing else, we're much more fun and talkative. That's for sure!
I'm pretty pumped about this challenge. I feel like we're off to a pretty good start? I hope so anyway.
Anyway, stay in touch, Heidi!
James----- Yea I'm very pleased with our tribe and the activity compared to the others. And I love love that your a social butterfly. lol. It makes it easier to talk with you. And yea the karma thing is weird, but I exalted you again. Negative karma would irk me too when it's so random. But yea definitely keep in touch.----- Hey Heidi!
Thanks a bunch! I really am. I was always that kid growing up who always made worse grades just because I talked to much in class. Hahaha. I really hope you meant what you said about it being easy to talk to me. I love that aspect of this game so if you want to chat it up about strategy, challenges, voting, or just get to know each other a little bit, I'm definitely your guy.
You are too good to me for that karma exalting! For real. I do appreciate that. And I'm going to pay you back some how, sometime!
Holla back
James----- Aw thanks <3
And yea I'm sincere, you definitely seem like a good person to talk game with. So I'll make sure to keep in touch
1 more post in the challenge and we win. The way things look now when you compare the two tribes, Banayri = Koror. We seem to have the upperhand lol
-Heidi----- Hey Heidi!
You're very welcome! I'd love to kinda have that kind of relationship with you where we can talk about anything. I think we're having a bonding moment. Hahahaha!
But, yeah, I know what you mean. I just really, really wish Julie or JT would hurry up! It would so suck to lose at this point.... but I'm not even going to think like that!!
James----- xD yea, you definitely seem like a great ally in this game
I hope Julie or Jt comes on soon, but at least we did our part =)----- Hey Heidi
Well thanks a bunch! I love how complimentary and positive you are. That's awesome. But, yeah, it'd be great if someone would come on soon and win this challenge for us. Hopefully we'd have nothing to worry about, though, if we did have to go to tribal council since we pulled our weight. Anyway, where are you from?
James----- I know lol. They would be the two people on the chopping block, should we lose. So I don't think there is anything to worry about. I'd just like to win to have the numbers advantage against the other tribe, ya know? And i'm from Jersey, what about you?----- Hey Heidi!
Yeah, I know exactly what you are saying. Of course the numbers would be nice, but I have a feeling this new twist might make that a complicated thing to control. I'm curious to see just how many people end up switching tribes.
Jersey! That's awesome! I used to date a girl who moved here from Jersey. Some of her family had that accent (which I'm sorry to admit... I hate that accent! =P). I'm from Tennessee. I'm probably working the southern accent so you probably hate my accent just as much. Do you have one?
James----- Lol. I don't think I have an accent at all. But I suppose people could think that from southern places.
As for the twist, hmm. I am not sure much people will. Because the person with the second highest votes would probably be voting in the majority on their tribe, so I don't see why they would switch.----- Hey Heidi...
I gotcha. Well, I'd be willing to bet you would think I have an accent. It's pretty bad. I have family from other states who make fun of me for it. I seriously sound like James or JT from the real show... but in my opinion, they are the ones talking normal.
That's true what you said about the twist, though. I never really thought about it like that. I'm really anxious to see how that all works out.
Stay in touch!
James----- Hey James! Any idea on who we should vote?----- Hey Heidi!!
Well, I hate that we're having to discuss this, because I didn't want to have to come to tribal council at all. But oh well.
I'm pretty sure the vote will be between JT and JP. I personally will probably vote for JP. I think he's a good guy who has been fairly consistent for us, but he never seems to be interested in talking to me and he doesn't seem to be a really passionate player. That's just my opinion.
I'm pretty sure both of those two will be catching some votes, though. Who were you thinking for the vote?
James----- I haven't spoken to either about the vote yet, I assumed it was between JT and Ami. Though of course we should give Ami a chance over here. Do you know who all is voting for JP? I just want to be in the majority lol----- Hey Heidi...
Yeah, I agree. I think Ami deserves at least one chance. She's going to have to earn her spot, though, just like the rest of us. This is one tough tribe, ya know?
Anyway, I don't know specifically who is voting for JP. I've just heard several people mention his name. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up being the majority. Would you rather vote for JT over JP?
James
P.S. I'm going to get off here and run a few errands, but I'll message you back when I get back.----- I've spoken to them both very little, so I don't mind which. I originally thought JT, because we were usually waiting on him for challenges. But if he's been social I have no problem switching that up to JP. I'll see if I can talk to other people and see where there minds are at. But if you hear anything please let me know----- Hey Heidi
Alright, well this is turning out to be much more of a dramatic tribal council than I thought it'd be. Ami's name is now back on the chopping block along with JP and JT. It really wouldn't surprise me to see any of the three leave, because I think the votes could be really spread.
Anyway, what all have you found out in your efforts? And do you know yet who you are thinking of going after?
Holla back...
James----- Hey James, yea it's pretty crazy already. I think the vote is going to end up between JP and Ami, but I don't care which leaves. I've spoke to JP once in the beginning and Ami none at all. [Since she just switched] I'll vote soon, but I just want to be sure it's what most people are doing.----- ROUNDS 4- Hey Heidi
Wow. You called that one. That last tribal council was about as close and as crazy as they come. That almost backfired on us, though. We almost had to pull rocks!
Anyway, hopefully we can regroup and bounce back with a win in this challenge. I can tell by the post count that Kadarma is already off to a good start so we already have some ground to make up! We can do it though!
Write back..
James----- I know lol. A lot of people were confused on what to do . xD
But yea hopefully we can come back and win. Otherwise I hope we can all get on the same page, a slit vote was weird.----- Hey James. We were close
Any idea for the vote?----- Hey Heidi!
Oh I know! I hate it so bad that we lost. Honestly, I kinda hate it for you the most. You poured your heart out into that challenge and, to my knowledge, contributed more to it than anyone else. I guess I just wish we could've won that one for you. You did a damn good job is all I got to say!
Anyway, as for the vote, I'm leaning more and more towards JP again. He just seems to have no interest in the game, ya know? We're four rounds into this thing and he only has 13 posts. I'm pretty sure over half of those are just from doing the basics in challenges. I just don't feel like anyone deserves to be voted out over him. But I'm open to whatever you may have in mind... What are your thoughts?
James----- Hey James, yea I tried to help as much as I could. Suck we lost.
And as for JP, I agree hands down lol. Haven't spoken to him since the beginning and he barely logs on. So I'm cool with it lol----- |

[shadow=blue,left,300]JT[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey JT!
What's up bro? I'm definitely pretty pumped to be on the same tribe as one of -- scratch that, by far my favorite winner in the history of Survivor. JT was awesome. Anyway, I can't wait to hear back from you bro. Hopefully we'll dominate together on Banayri.
James----- Hey, whats up?
Sorry I haven't been on the last day, but I'm not inactive. I just was gone yesterday. I hope we win the challenge, I will probably leave if we lose
JT is awesome.----- Whats up?----- Hey JT!
Dude I just read your message again since I didn't get a chance to reply the other day. Don't be so hard on yourself bro. No one thinks you are inactive, and I highly doubt you'd be the first to leave. Just stay confident bro. And if you want to prove to the tribe that you aren't inactive, just try to be the best in one of the challenge or something.
Anyway, not much is up here. What about you bro? How's it going?
James----- Yeah, I've just been busy the last few days. Now I should be more active, and I'm ready to play the game.
thanks for the support!!
nothing going on here now, I'm bored lol----- Hey JT!
You're more than welcome for the support, bud. I'm glad to have your back. You did an outstanding job in that last challenge. I'll be honest with you here: I think your SOS image was good enough to earn you more time in this game in the eyes of many. I hope so anyway. I really like you, bro.
Anyway, I had kinda heard some rumors of a JP vote. Would you be game with doing that?
Write back...
James----- Yeah thats cool, I haven't heard anyone talk about tc yet. I think I'm out of the loop. lol----- Hey JT...
No worries, bro. I'm hoping you'll be okay. Do you have pretty good connections with the other tribemates?
Stay in touch...
James----- to a certain point, but we'll see how this tc goes =/ ----- ROUNDS 4- Hey JT
Well, we both made it through, bro. That's the good news. Now we've got another challenge to do, so if you come on soon, give me a shout and we'll make some ground on this challenge. Holla back.
James----- Hey, I'm on now.----- Hey JT...
Well, it looks like we're going to go to tribal council. I hate that, because I really felt like we put in a good effort, but it is what it is. Do you have anything in mind for the vote?
James----- Not yet, I haven't talked to anyone yet. I'll get back you to when/if I hear something----- I heard JP, he is the weakest on our tribe.
Also, I'm hearing rumors of heidi/jp/amanda/greg alliance.
Is there any truth to that?----- Hey JT
Yeah, bro, I've heard those same rumors. At first, it really concerned me. However, since Heidi, Amanda, and Greg all voted for JP last round, I'm starting to doubt that. Who knows though? It could be true?
I just hope we can win this challenge and not even think about voting for a little while.

[shadow=brown,left,300]Ami - 17th[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey Ami!
How's it going? I just wanted to take a second to write you a message and welcome you to this tribe! It's great to have you. I can't wait to get to know you a little better. Stay in touch!
James----- Hey James, thanks for the warm welcome! I will stay in touch.
Can I ask for your aim or am I being too forward ----- Hey Ami!
Hahahahaha! That's hilarious! "Am I being too forward?" Lol I love it. What kind of guy do you think I am?
Nah, my AIM is golfinredhead. I don't tend to use it as much as I do pm's, but I can use both if I need to.
It really stinks that we have to go to tribal council. That probably leaves a bad impression of our tribe on you. But, yeah, did you have any ideas of who to vote for or anything? I've heard a couple names tossed around, but I'm open to any ideas you might have.
Write back when you can...
James----- I havent heard anything yet and am open to vote anyone----- |

[shadow=purple,left,300]Jaime[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey Jaime!
How's it going? I wanted to drop you a message here in the early going. There are definitely alot of hotties in this cast but I think Jaime is probably the hottest so I'm definitely hoping you stick around for a while and rep for this season! Hahaha But anyway, stay in touch. I can't wait to hear back from you...
James----- Hey James, thanks for the compliment. I think you're........well you we can't all be hot. Just kidding You're the most suave man in the game.----- Hey Jaime!
Hahahahaha! That's hilarious! I'm probably rivaling Jeff Wilson for the bluest eyes. But it's cool. I wasn't going for a hottie. I guess moreso for some diversity --- and of course to stay true to my southern roots!
But, anyway, I can't believe all the names that start with "J" in this cast. Random fact, I know, but it's unbelievable! We could all align and be set for merge! Hahaha!
You seem to have a great sense of humor, Jaime. I'm definitely looking forward to meeting you a little more. Holla back!
James----- I noticed all the Js too. I was like damn, I should have picked someone else.
Also I don't know about you being in the same category as Jeff. Maybe more Jeanne.
And I just noticed that pretty much all the hardcore southerners are in our tribe. You, me and JT. Jamie is also southern, I think, but he got the shaft.----- Hey Jaime!
Oh I know! That J thing is so crazy! I've been in several of these ORGs but never seen anything like that. I think its hilarious.
As for the Jeanne/Jeff thing, I was talking about eye color. I don't know if you've noticed or not (maybe thats just me), but James and Jeff both have such bright blue eyes. They are so blue that they almost look white. I don't know why I notice weird things like that? Hahaha
Heck yeah to the southern players! I love it! I'm really from the south (Tennessee) so I'm always a fan of the good ole country boys and country girls when they go on Survivor. But yeah, this tribe is definitely reppin' for Dixie! So where are you actually from? Like.. what state?
Stay in touch!!
James----- I'm actually your northern neighbour from Canada eh. I'm orginally from Elmsdale, Nova Scotia but now I live in Toronto, Ontario. Elmsdale was very southerny, so I've kinda grown up in that kind of atmosphere my whole life.----- Hey Jaime...
Oh okay. I've always wanted to take a trip up to Canada. I think thats one of those things I'll add to my own little Bucket List so I definitely need to do that before I die. If I do manage to make it up there sometime, what part of the country is best to visit? I'm completely unaware of my Canadian fun facts.
James----- Um, Toronto is really nice. It's the most industrialized area. It's kinda like a clean New York City. Also I've heard British Columbia is really nice, but I've never been there before. And of course Nova Scotia is beautiful.----- Hey Jaime
Oh okay... thats awesome! I loved New York City. It was amazing. I've still determined that I'm going to make a trip back so I can ring in the New Year in Times Square. Anyway, I don't know how I got off on this. Haha I guess you telling me how you were from Canada just kinda got me thinking about it. Sorry about that.
Anyway, Jeanne told me something about maybe me, you, and her working together. That would be absolutely amazing in my opinion. Do you like that idea? Just give me a shout...
James----- I definitely do, because I've talked to both of you and honestly you guys are my loves
I love NYC when I went there too. Broadway is so amazing. Also *goes into geek mode* I want to got to the CBS and NBC stores to buy more buffs and memorabilia of my favourite shows.----- Hey Jaime!
I know! It really would be amazing for the three of us to have some sort of core three. I'm lovin' you and Jeanne, too! I can appreciate how ya'll can handle my random conversations!
I loved Broadway as well! Times Square took my breath away, though. It was incredible. In case you are a traveler like myself, I would also recommend you make trips to Chicago, Miami, San Antonio, and Nashville. Those are some of my other favorites!
Anyway... hopefully we are going to be immunity winners sometime very soon. Let's hope.
James----- I love travelling, but I don't do it as much as I wish too. Other then Orlando, NYC is the only place in the USA I've been too, I know I'm so deprived.
I'd love for you, me and Jeanne to have a core three. I've talked to a lot of our tribe, but the conversations I've had with you guys have been the best----- Hey Jaime!
Holy cow. Yeah, you need to take a few more trips to America. I'd love to go visit the west coast. Someone once told me that San Francisco is the prettiest city in the whole US. So I definitely need to get my frequent flyer miles up too! Haha!
Anyway, I know exactly what you are saying. You are such a chill girl and very down to earth, and Jeanne is so easy to talk to as well. I have a feeling we'd all work well together from a strategical standpoint as well. Hopefully we won't have to strategize for a while, but if Julie or JT don't show up soon, we may be forced to. Anyway, give me a shout.
James----- Well if those two don't show up, there isn't much strategizing needed, right? Obviously one of them would have to go.----- Hey Jaime
Yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking. I guess we'll just wait and see how things shake out before we even worry about strategizing or anything. Stay in touch...
James----- Hey Jaime...
I was just wondering if you got the message from Jeanne about the Amanda alliance? That seems like a little bit of a pressing issue. As far as I'm concerned, that's something that could divide this perfect little Banayri tribe in two. Anyway, just write back and let me know if you're aware.
James----- I'm aware and already working on Ami. Jeanne said she was going to get JT on our side and we have Ashlee. Wanna help in the efforts to convince Ami to turn to our corner.----- Hey Jaime
Yeah I can handle that. I already tried to send her a little bit of a message earlier so hopefully that'll work. I'm actually hoping we can continue this winning streak or something, but I realize that'll probably come to an end eventually. Anyway, so when you ask if I'd like to help, is there something specific you want me to do or just stay in touch with her?
James----- Basically we have to reel her in. We need to brefriend her, then pop the alliance question.----- Hey Jaime
How's it going? I just wanted to touch base with you since we have to go to tribal council. We're going to vote for JP. Is that correct?
Hope to hear back from you soon...
James----- Yes, we're voting off JP----- Hey Jaime...
Alright good stuff! Thanks for keeping me posted...
James----- No problem James, I've got confirmations from Jeanne and JT that they're voting JP. Also Jeanne told me she'd get Ashlee to vote that way too, so all should go as planned ----- ROUNDS 4- Hey Jaime...
Wow. That last tribal council definitely didn't go as we hoped. It could've easily blown up in our faces, too. It would've sucked to have to pull rocks! We can't let that happen again.
Anyway, hopefully we can bounce back from that and regroup with a win. If you come on anytime soon give me a shout so we can work on this challenge some!
James----- Ya a tie definetly would not have been fun, but at least we know we have a solid 5 people. And I'm here and ready to help with the challenge.----- Hey Jaime
Well, thats very true. I'm really glad we have a solid five. That should come in handy for this tribal council now. Are we going to try to re-execute this JP plan? Holla back...
James----- I definetly think we should. Just do what we did last round and hopefully it works.----- Hey Jaime!
Alright that sounds like a good plan to me. I think JP should go down a little easier this time. I think there are more people on board with it this time. Let's hope so anyway. I just want to move on to the next challenge already and try to get us an immunity. Anyway, stay in touch.
James----- |

[shadow=maroon,left,300]Greg[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey Greg!
What's up bro? I wanted to drop you a message since we're tribemates now. It looks like us guys are outnumbered a little bit so the boys are gonna have to watch each others back! Haha but na, I can't wait to meet you man. Stay in touch!
James----- Hahah, riiight? Four guys and five girls. Hopefully us dudes can survive.
lol and I agree! I hope we can talk very soon. I'll catch ya' on aim sometime.
Can't wait to talk and get to know you. =]----- Hey Greg!
Actually, bro, its six girls to four guys! That's cool with me, though. If my math serves me correctly that's 1.5 girls for each of us. If thats the case, I think I'll take all of Jaime and the top half of Ashlee! Hahahah
But, I know what you mean, bro. We're going to have to hold our own. I actually really like this tribe so it'd be great if tribal councils weren't even an issue!
Anyway, I'll definitely catch you on AIM some. Holla at me there! Until then, pms will work.
Give me a shout back, man.
James----- Yeah dude! I totally see that. I'll take Heidi and the bottom half of Ashlee if you don't mind, haha.
But seriously we are kicking ass in the challenge! Only two more posts and we'll win immunity. I can't wait. =]
and I'm always on aim for the most part. I can't wait to talk to you and we can hit it up dude. :]
Catch ya' later man!----- Hey Greg!
Hahahaha! I love it dude! This tribe would definitely have some options if we really were going for some girls here.
Anyway, I know it dude! We are sooooo close! I'm hoping Julie or JT will come on soon to do the gong part for us. This has got to be one of the best starts I've ever seen a tribe have in a challenge. It really is incredible. I think we're about to set the pace for the rest of the game, though! It's going to be tough!
Anyway, keep in touch man.
James----- Haha yess! I knooow! I can't believe we're almost done with our immunity challenge already. I'm so stoked to see that we're one post away from finishing this competition. And the best part of it all is that something that probably is going to take the other tribe all night and day only took us a little over 4 hours. :] It's just a good feeling.
If we keep this up we'll be unbeatable.----- Hey Greg!
Oh I know it, bro! Unfortunately, neither Julie nor JT have shown up to finish things off for us yet. It's really starting to make me nervous here. We got off to way too good of a start to end up losing this challenge. I won't even lie -- I'll probably be a little pissed if we end up having to go to tribal council. Anyway, holla back man.
James----- Duuude! I know exactly how you feel. I'll be steamed if we lose because, like you said, we got off to a killer start! Oh, well. I guess losing would be a good way to weed out inactives, but still I really don't wanna go to tribal council already. :/
It's weird though, because Julie SN is the same one as the person who played as Sydney in Season 01 and made it all the way to Final 3 and I talked to JT the night before the game started. It's weird how they just all vanished. Haha
Hit me up again, James. :]----- Hey Greg!
I didn't realize that? That is really weird that they were both so active and then disappeared into nothing. Like you said though, on the plus side of things, if we lose, it'll make tribal council that much easier I suppose. I just don't think I've ever been on a tribe that got off to such a good start in the very first challenge. That was amazing last night. Oh well... I'm really just starting to accept the fact that we're probably going to get beat on this one. It sucks, but oh well.
So how do you like our tribemates so far?
James----- I know exactly how you feel. I was pretty much accepting the fact that we're probably going to lose this one also. :/ It sucks, but what're you gonna do? Haha. Hopefully Brook is as inactive as Julie and JT are and who knows maybe they aren't caught up by that much, lol. That's just me though I try to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hahaha.
And our tribe rocks, James! I love everyone on it. We got off to an amazing start at our immunity challenge and everyone on our tribe is just so nice and social, it's really good to have such an active, good cast. What about you, James? You likin' everyone so far, too? =)----- Hey Greg!
That's true! I'm like you. I'm trying to stay optimistic about this. Hopefully they are having some timing issues. That's about our only hope at this point. We've given them more than enough time to catch up if they really wanted to. Ugh.
Anyway, yeah, I love this tribe. We've got some pretty interesting people on this tribe. Our tribe is a hoot. I feel like I've got some unique bonds going I guess. I don't know? It's just different that most other games, ya know? Like me and you were cutting up last night about what girls we'd take or whatever. It's just little stuff, but it makes you feel like you've truly got a bond going with people, ya know? Anyway, stay in touch.
James----- I agree with you there whole-heartedly, James. I totally click with you and I feel like we would work well together given the opportunity.
And, not to be a pest or anything, but did JT sign onto the board and not even post? lol----- Hey Greg!
Sorry I'm just now responding to this! My bad! Anyway, yeah I totally agree. I think me and you could work really well together in this game. And even though you said "if given the opportunity", I'm going to go ahead and say that we will have the opportunity to work together. I definitely want to make that happen.
Anyway, yeah, JT did sign on the other day and not post, and now we are waiting for him again in this challenge. He's really starting to frustrate me.
Keep in touch...
James----- Yay! We won again, I'm totally falling in love with out tribe. It's like the best, lol.
Looks like we got a new member to our tribe, hopefully she can pull her weight around and we'll be in good shape. =)
And I agree with you! I think if we have each other's backs we'll go far in this game. I deff like the idea of that.----- Hey Greg
Alright, bro, that's awesome! It sounds like me and you are good to go then! I totally agree with you about Ami. As far as I'm concerned, we traded off Julie for Ami. That should undoubtedly be a good trade. I'm really anxious to see how Ami meshes with us in these challenges. As you know, we've been quite a stellar team when it comes to those things. Hopefully we can count on her to be online right when its posted like we've been.
Anyway, I'm totally with you man. Our tribe is freaking amazing. I'm so excited about it all! Keep in touch...
James----- I couldn't agree with you more. Now with an even MORE active tribe we're going to, for sure, dominant all of the challenges. I'm really excited about that. And definitely. I'll keep you posted on any information I get or anything along those lines so we can compare notes and what not. This is going perfectly for us. :]
Later!----- Duuude! :/ We lost the challenge. This sucks. I have no idea who to vote out. You have any ideas whatsoever?----- Hey Greg
I know dude! This sucks! I really hate that we lost. We had something really good going there for those first couple of challenges.
Anyway, yeah, I might have some ideas of a vote, but I'm kinda open to anything really. I guess before we try to figure out who to vote for, we should figure out who we're close to and who we aren't willing to vote for, because I had an idea of someone, but I don't really want to throw it out there if you are close to this person.
Anyway, stay in touch.
James----- I'm pretty much game for anyone that's inactive, to bad we don't have Julie still on our tribe, hahaha. Hmm. Not close to? The only one I haven't spoken to is JT, but he's barely ever on. None of our tribe is ever on aim so that really sucks lol. Honestly, I talk to you the most in PMs, but that's it. Hmmm, I guess if I had to pick someone it'd probably be JT, but obviously I'm open to anything.
You?----- Hey Greg
Alright, well in that case, the only names I had heard or thought about were JT and JP. Personally, I was kinda leaning toward JP just because he nevers talks to me. JT doesn't really talk to me alot either, but its more than JT. Would you be interested in that vote?
I might talk around and see what some of the others are going to do. I'll be sure to stay in touch with you frequently about this decision, and write back to let me know what you think about the JT/JP situation.
James----- Alright, that's cool. Either or is fine with me, I'll probably just end up going with majority once we figure out what we're going to do. Yeah, just let me know the buzz about who our tribe wants out and you can deff count me in.----- Hey Greg
Alright man. That sounds good. Hopefully we can come up with a definite solution pretty soon. Keep me posted on what you hear from everyone, and I'll definitely do the same for you!
James----- Hey Greg
Alright, dude, I feel pretty confident that JP is going to be the one who goes. You can talk around some too, but I've heard several people say that is what they are going to do or they're going to talk around to make sure that is the majority. JT may be a good Plan B though if you want to try that.
Just thought I'd give you the heads up...
James----- Thanks James! I mean if everyone is going to vote out JP then I'll just hop on that bandwagon, it's all fine by me. :] As long as it makes our tribe stronger I'm totally for it.----- I was thinking about booting off JP, but I was asking around and some people mentioned Ami because we didn't wanna kick off any of the original Banayri which kinda makes sense. To me, at least, Ami and JP are kinda equal in activity so I guess it's an even battle there, but getting rid of Ami makes more sense because of the original Banayri. I think I might go with that, hope you reply back soon. :]
-- Greg----- Hey Greg!
Alright, bro, that's totally cool with me. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if any of the three of them go (Ami, JP, JT). It could be a close vote since the votes are all spread out. Frankly, as long as it isn't you or me AND it makes the tribe stronger, then I'm cool with whatever. I just want to make sure we aren't turning around and coming back here next round. I already hate tribal council and we've only been to one!
Holla back, bro.
James----- same here. sounds good to me. i guess i'm just gonna go ahead and vote out ami and hopefully one of those three go. and like you said, as long as it's not me or you AND it makes our tribe stronger then i'm all for it. :]----- ROUNDS 4- Hey Greg
Well, that tribal council was definitely pretty crazy. I'm so glad we didn't have to pull rocks! That would've sucked so bad! Ya know, since Ami self-voted, I'm thinking you probably made the better choice on who to vote for. I was thinking it'd be best to give her a chance on this tribe, but she pretty much blew that and deserved to go.
Anyway, I can tell by the post count that Kadarma already has an early lead in this challenge so if you come on soon, give me a shout. We need to make up some ground!
James----- Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about Ami. Like, the fact that she self-voted just made me realize "Yeah, she didn't deserve to be here." ahahah
I know! ughhh. we need to totally go into overdrive for this comp. :/----- Stupid 18 points! -_-
I have no idea what to do. I guess it's safe to say JP is toasted this round. I mean he didn't even help with the challenge. What do you think?----- Hey Greg!
I know dude! It sucks so bad that the challenge ended up being that close. I just can't help but think about all those times where we were going good and JT would screw up or Jeanne's clock would screw up. I mean, I know I messed up a time or two myself so I'm not blaming them. It just sucks to know how many points we let slip out of our hands. We could've had them beat!
As for the vote, I feel really strongly that JP should be the one to go. Once again, his effort doesn't seem like its matching that of the rest of the tribe. Not to mention his little "fuck y'all" comment at the last tribal council leads me to believe he'd screw us all over if he got the chance. I don't know? It's not that I have anything against JP. It's just that I think we need to get rid of him. He's a hinderance in challenges and a risk when it comes to strategy down the road.
What do you think?
James----- Fully agreed. Ami self-voted and was pretty inactive and wasn't on all day whereas JP may not be inactive per-se, but he didn't even bother help with the challenge. Sounds good to me.----- Hey Greg
Alright man, good stuff. Let me know if you hear anything different. I truly feel closer to you than anyone else right now so hopefully we can continue to strategize like this in the future. Maybe then the decisions won't be so easy?
James----- Ahaha, agreed and same here! I always talk to you about my vote and everything so it's good to have someone on my side. I won't vote you out and vice versa I hope I deff will let you know if I hear anything different, I doubt it though. I think, pretty much, our whole tribe is dead set on voting out JP. Oh, well. We just have to kick out tribe into overdrive and decimate the next immunity challenge. We can totally do it.----- Hey Greg!
Oh man! For real, there's no way in hell I'd vote for you right now. We've got something good going, bro. I really do feel pretty tight with you. I'm hoping we can work some magic and get to the late part of this game togehter. Honestly, I would love nothing more than the finals with you. But thats a long way away. I guess we just need to take things one step at a time for now?
Anyway, good call on the regrouping thing for this challenge. I was really impressed with our effort. Hopefully its a sign of things to come. No joke, I despise tribal council! 
Holla back, bro!
James----- |

[shadow=limegreen,left,300]Ashlee[/shadow] ROUNDS 1-3 Hey Ash!
How's it going? I wanted to take just a second and write you a quick message. I hope everything is going alright for you. I'm definitely excited to be tribemates with you. Are you ready for this game? Stay in touch!
James----- Heya James!
Hell yes I am pumped for this game! I am glad we are on the same tribe. We has better own!
~Ashy----- Hey Ashlee!
That's awesome, girl! You better be pumped for this game! Our tribe is soooo going to dominate. The best part about it all, too, is that we definitely kill the other tribe in the looks department too, if you know what I mean?! Hahaha stay in touch!
James
P.S. I don't really know what I mean by this, but I love the way you type on here. It's really original. Idk? Hahaha----- Why thank you James, I'm glad you enjoy my *amazing* typing skills.
As for beauty, I don't think you could get anyone more fly then the peeps on this tribe.
~Ashy----- Hey Ash
Yeah, I know that was probably a really weird compliment and a weird way to make a first impression, but I'm serious. It's pretty cool. It makes you memorable, I s'pose.
Anyway, before I sound any dumber..... Hahaha. This tribe really is awesome. We're so close to an immunity win already! I love it! Hopefully we can secure it tonight.
Holla back
James----- Jamesss:
I'm glad you think I'm special..
First immunity would (or should I say WILL) be SUH-WEET. <3
~Ashy----- Hey Ashlee
Oh I know! We are so durn close! If only JT or Julie would hurry it up. They're playing with my emotions here! Hahaha! I want to celebrate this already...
James----- Jammmmes:
I know! I really hope they get online so we can win this!
~Ash----- |

easier than i thought.
