The Diary of One, Ace Gordon

[Ace Gordon]

Once again I reiterate - Phillip's a nice man.

Anyway, that out of the way... I guess Kim is our next target. And let me just make this clear - I was open to burying the hatchet with her the moment we swapped. Mainly cause I thought I may have had to. But with the way she's been acting and playing since being on the same tribe... I have no interest in keeping her around. Besides, that would get a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm tired of pretending to be Cody and I hate doing it in the first place, but it's the only way I can guarantee she'll remain docile until I really fuck her over.

[Ace Gordon]

First, here's a split video DR I felt like doing just because. Good timing though cause the conversation was quite interesting.

The most important part of that conversation was that we found out Jay has one of the idols. Obviously good for me. He said he'll use it for me if I'm ever in immediate danger. We also made a final three between us and Ted.

When Ted got on, we had a group chat and discussed the target. Both of them initially wanted Kourtney gone, but I steered them into picking off either Semhar or Kim. Kim worries me just because she's living up to her reputation and has been playing slimey in this game. Semhar has been quiet, but I think she may be in good with a good chunk of the Outcasts.

Although we agreed on Kim, I expressed concern to Ted later on that maybe taking out Semhar may be the smartest move. Mary is sticking her nose into our tribe's politics and trying to get Kim & Semhar to vote off Kourtney. So we know for a fact the Outcasts want to stick together.

I think Kim is alienating herself and perhaps it may be something we need to take advantage of. If it looks like Kim is the one who masterminded Semhar's exit, it should cause a rift in her relationship with the outcasts. Kim swears up and down that she has no intentions of banding up with them at the merge but... Kim says a lot of things.

In addition, we have found out that the other idol is gone. Ted & Jay seem to think Kourtney has it and Kourtney thinks Coach has it. Not really sure what to think of that at the moment.

HATCH? INACTIVE??

(alright fine I was)

I love video + speaking ones. FUN

[Kim Powers]

I love your videos. I'd much rather watch a video then read a bunch of paragraphs, so hats off to you my friend!

[John Cochran]

"Do not let the British take over this game."


I think the best part of this statement is that it's run by Lex, who is most certainly not American. >_>

[John Cochran]

Also, do more videos, the sarcastic asshole comments are godlike.

[Ace Gordon]

If you paid any attention to that challenge at all, you have to be thinking one thing:

Ace, Ted, Jay, Coach and Mary seem to be... working together?

Hey maybe I'm just over observant and see things like that. Or maybe I just know cause we were, in fact, working together. Either way, you'd be blind to NOT see this.

Ok, you're probably confused so... here's the backstory.

Right before the competition started, Coach and Mary invited me to a chat. Jay and Ted soon followed into the chat. To our confusion, the two of them started ordering us what to do in this challenge. We were to cut Frosti, they were going to cut Kourtney. I was really biting my tongue on this cause I'm thinking "who the fuck does this guy think he is?", but... I restrained myself. Perhaps something can happen here that I can work off of.

Basically Coach & Mary used us to cut some of their tribe out of this challenge without getting blood on their hands. They did this to help us do the same. Course they ended up getting cut a lot in the midst of the challenge where as myself, Ted and Jay were relatively safe so.. they had no choice but to let Ted win the challenge.

Here's where it gets interesting. I was talking to Bob during this and he informed me that Coach had another chat going on... a tribe chat consisting of his fellow Valente peers. Nobody in that chat except for Mary and himself were informed of another chat going on.

So I reiterate - when you see that challenge, what do you say? Five people obviously working together, never targeting one another, and virtually allowing one of their own to win with little to no fight. Everyone had to have seen this. And I hope that everyone did.

To solidify this, I gave Frosti a screenshot of the chat we were in serving as an "anonymous leak". For no obvious reason, the last line of the chat is Mary telling us to cut one of Eliza or Bob. I'm sure that'll go well with both of them

The plan here is simple... we have to make Kelly and one other potential flipper be it Mike or Eliza think Coach & Mary have a side deal going on with the other tribe. The goal here is for them to talk about this, get it in their head and ultimately blindside one of them. Course for this plan to work, everyone has to keep their mouth shut. We know for a fact now that Coach has an idol and that has to remain in his pocket if he or Mary leave.

Even if this plan does blow up, it's a seed of doubt that I plan on watering every day. Hopefully that seed will grow into a large, healthy plant that will grow fruits of wisdom into these people's brains.

[Ace Gordon]

Should note that Kourtney is also informed of the above plan. Her and Frosti seem to be trusting of me again. Frosti in particularly was extremely thankful of the info and thanked me several times.

This is of course a good thing. I do feel like Kourtney's reputation is way overblown, although she's sitll a dangerous player and someone I'll never trust 100%. Frosti has shown to be a rat (course, this plan favors a rat which makes him PERFECT for his role) but he could be my rat in due time.

Ultimately I plan on reconnecting the wires and getting my connection ring started again. I want to have tabs on everyone in this game and with the way I'm setting up now, I may potentially get that going. I have Frosti & Kourtney, I have Kim & Wanda, I have Jay & Ted, I have Dawg & Judd and potentially Coach & Mary.

[Ace Gordon]

Talking to Judd now about this plan... apparently Coach PMed him this...

Just wanted to catch you on here since I don't know if you'll be on AIM later.

I said to you the other day I'd do whatever I could to protect you and I intend to stay true to my word. Don't feel hard done by with that challenge just now. We were working to get Ted the necklace. Mission accomplished. The main goal was with who to eliminate and with that done, it was a matter of making sure somebody solid got it.

I trust Ted. I think he'll do us well. He was the best man to win. Nobody objected to it and it was a foregone conclusion. Don't feel like you were attacked. We still have your back. I promise you'll make the merge.

Talk soon on AIM if you feel up to it. Hope everything is going well.

I'm... extremely confused right now. That makes no sense.

I'm thinking Coach has gotten word about this and is trying to cover his ass by making it look like he's aligning with Ted for the benefit of the tribe.

[Ace Gordon]

Having a very long talk with Kourtney.

Kourtney Moon (1:19:51 AM): Yoo
Ace Gordon (1:19:58 AM): hi
Kourtney Moon (1:20:06 AM): :-) How are you?
Ace Gordon (1:20:30 AM): good, going to bed in a few
Kourtney Moon (1:20:35 AM): Oooh ok :-D
Kourtney Moon (1:20:51 AM): But before you gooo
Kourtney Moon (1:20:57 AM): Who do you think we should vote? :-P
Ace Gordon (1:21:31 AM): Debating between Sem or Kim obviously
Ace Gordon (1:21:52 AM): At the moment I'm leaning towards Kim cause of Coach's attitude throughout the chall
Kourtney Moon (1:22:02 AM): What do you mean?
Ace Gordon (1:22:04 AM): Seems like Sem is going to crawl back to them at merge and Kim is alienated from them
Ace Gordon (1:22:21 AM): want Kim gone soon too though, but just in case we end up winning IC next week I think Sem would be the safer bet
Kourtney Moon (1:22:39 AM): Wait so you want to vote Kim or Sem? :-P
Ace Gordon (1:22:44 AM): Sem this round, Kim next
Kourtney Moon (1:22:59 AM): Alrightt
Ace Gordon (1:23:16 AM): This is just my thinking out loud though so I'm all ears if you have input
Kourtney Moon (1:23:47 AM): No no, it's whatever. I really like Semhar, and she seems to be really loya, so it's just wherever her loyalties lie at this point
Kourtney Moon (1:23:53 AM): loyal
Kourtney Moon (1:24:08 AM): So if she did have deals over there on the old outcasts, then she's probably going to stick with them
Kourtney Moon (1:24:24 AM): But I asked her if she wanted to vote with me during this little tribal stage and she said obviously, so idk..
Ace Gordon (1:24:36 AM): she has nobody on this tribe
Ace Gordon (1:24:44 AM): she will when we merge though
Kourtney Moon (1:25:00 AM): And Kim is always really expendablee
Ace Gordon (1:25:05 AM): I agree
Kourtney Moon (1:25:25 AM): But she basically went around to a lot of people and was like
Kourtney Moon (1:25:32 AM): I'll take whatever deal I can get!
Ace Gordon (1:25:41 AM): who Kim?
Kourtney Moon (1:25:47 AM): yeah
Ace Gordon (1:25:49 AM): oh yeah
Ace Gordon (1:25:50 AM): she is
Ace Gordon (1:26:09 AM): My current state of mind
Ace Gordon (1:26:22 AM): and again, this is just me thinking out loud over scenarios and shit
Ace Gordon (1:26:47 AM): but if we were to vote off Semhar and make it look like Kim masterminded the whole thing, that'd eliminate any chance of the Outcasts trusting her
Ace Gordon (1:26:54 AM): cause Mary has been really nosy today
Ace Gordon (1:27:01 AM): they want you gone bad
Kourtney Moon (1:27:10 AM): :-\ I don't know whyyy Ace
Ace Gordon (1:27:16 AM): They're threatened by you
Ace Gordon (1:27:21 AM): but that's another reason why keeping Kim is good
Ace Gordon (1:27:25 AM): cause she'll be a target over you
Kourtney Moon (1:27:39 AM): Ughh
Kourtney Moon (1:27:42 AM): I trust you Ace :-P
Kourtney Moon (1:28:01 AM): You're really smart, I can tell.
Ace Gordon (1:28:11 AM): I know what I'm doing
Kourtney Moon (1:28:16 AM): Obviously!
Kourtney Moon (1:28:18 AM): Was just about to say that :-P
Kourtney Moon (1:28:52 AM): When do you plan on telling them what went down today?
Ace Gordon (1:28:59 AM): who?
Kourtney Moon (1:29:06 AM): Like, whoever. To get rid of Coach
Ace Gordon (1:29:14 AM): oh, I already planted the seeds
Ace Gordon (1:29:26 AM): Frosti worked on Kelly
Ace Gordon (1:29:32 AM): Bob apparently is going to work on Eliza
Ace Gordon (1:29:45 AM): so we shall see
Ace Gordon (1:29:49 AM): hopefully it works
Ace Gordon (1:29:51 AM): that'd be huge
Kourtney Moon (1:29:53 AM): hopefully.
Kourtney Moon (1:30:01 AM): I'd feel so much safer if Coach was out of the game
Ace Gordon (1:30:05 AM): you and me both
Kourtney Moon (1:30:55 AM): Who's gonna vote with us to get Semhar out though?
Kourtney Moon (1:31:25 AM): You me Kim and..?
Ace Gordon (1:31:38 AM): Wanda
Kourtney Moon (1:31:42 AM): Oh right
Kourtney Moon (1:31:45 AM): I forgot she was on here
Ace Gordon (1:31:48 AM): LOL
Kourtney Moon (1:31:59 AM): Shhhhhhhh!
Ace Gordon (1:32:11 AM): so I'm curious about something
Kourtney Moon (1:32:16 AM): Ask awayy
Ace Gordon (1:32:20 AM): why'd Darrah leave over Wanda?
Kourtney Moon (1:32:50 AM): Ugh
Kourtney Moon (1:33:00 AM): I'm still hazy over that. We were a final 4 over there
Kourtney Moon (1:33:10 AM): I felt TERRIBLE voting Darrah because we were like best friends
Kourtney Moon (1:33:18 AM): But Frosti didn't want to change his vote
Kourtney Moon (1:34:03 AM): Because we figured she'd be more loyal (I told Darrah the vote was her and then mentioned flipping, and Frosti said that'd fuck us over if we tied it)

So she just flat out confirmed I was next to go. Good to know.

Ace Gordon (1:34:56 AM): intradesting
Kourtney Moon (1:35:15 AM): Is it? :-\
Ace Gordon (1:35:22 AM): it is actually
Kourtney Moon (1:35:27 AM): Why?
Ace Gordon (1:35:35 AM): Cause that's a pretty big talk of the town
Kourtney Moon (1:35:42 AM): What do you mean? Lol.
Ace Gordon (1:35:55 AM): A lot of people wonder about that vote cause Wanda seemed like the obvious target
Ace Gordon (1:36:11 AM): Wanda was talking about mutinying
Kourtney Moon (1:36:20 AM): I figured.
Ace Gordon (1:36:21 AM): and she told me she was on the outs
Kourtney Moon (1:36:31 AM): EErgghhh
Ace Gordon (1:36:44 AM): Don't confront her or anything though
Kourtney Moon (1:36:47 AM): Lol, I'll be 500% honest
Kourtney Moon (1:36:52 AM): I figured out her alias
Ace Gordon (1:37:00 AM): is she noctowlcity?
Kourtney Moon (1:37:05 AM): Um.
Ace Gordon (1:37:16 AM): I guess that's a no :-!
Kourtney Moon (1:37:19 AM): Idk.
Kourtney Moon (1:37:20 AM): Is it
Ace Gordon (1:37:22 AM): =-O
Ace Gordon (1:37:26 AM): you said you figured it out
Kourtney Moon (1:37:29 AM): I did.
Ace Gordon (1:37:31 AM): oh
Ace Gordon (1:37:37 AM): well who is it
Kourtney Moon (1:37:39 AM): Just, he doesn't usually go by that is all
Ace Gordon (1:38:05 AM): oh
Kourtney Moon (1:38:18 AM): I said Um. because that's just usually the email he uses
Ace Gordon (1:38:22 AM): ah
Ace Gordon (1:38:27 AM): I figured as such
Kourtney Moon (1:38:31 AM): Why?
Ace Gordon (1:38:35 AM): a silly reason
Kourtney Moon (1:38:40 AM): I wanna knoww
Ace Gordon (1:38:41 AM): Hey how are you
Ace Gordon (1:38:42 AM): I'm good
Ace Gordon (1:38:43 AM): That's great
Ace Gordon (1:38:50 AM): he always says "that's great" to that bullshit opening

Kourtney Moon (1:42:22 AM): We played in our first games togetha
Kourtney Moon (1:42:32 AM): Just..
Kourtney Moon (1:42:33 AM): You can

Kourtney Moon (1:43:10 AM): Alrightt.
Ace Gordon (1:43:13 AM): the alias means nothing to me
Ace Gordon (1:43:15 AM): I barely know him
Kourtney Moon (1:43:18 AM): Right
Kourtney Moon (1:43:18 AM): :-P
Kourtney Moon (1:43:25 AM): Idk, like I said
Kourtney Moon (1:43:30 AM): I trust you. So that's why I told you
Ace Gordon (1:44:31 AM): well like I always say
Ace Gordon (1:44:35 AM): trust goes a long way with me
Ace Gordon (1:44:58 AM): so even though that changed absolutely nothing about this game, that makes you a-ok in my book
Kourtney Moon (1:45:10 AM): Good :-) I'm glad.
Kourtney Moon (1:45:32 AM): I just really want to make the merge, if I do that, I'll feel okay if I leave.
Kourtney Moon (1:45:42 AM): I definitely won't like it
Kourtney Moon (1:45:52 AM): But I'm not going to all pissed and shit
Ace Gordon (1:46:11 AM): merge is always a good goal
Ace Gordon (1:46:22 AM): I'm happy either way

Yeeeeaaaah so, she's working hard to regain that trust we had at the start. Truthfully, I can never trust her 100% again knowing she had that final four. I don't want her anywhere near the end game and I will do everything to ensure she's an early merge boot if we get there together.

But for now, I'll use her as much as I can. As you can see, I did put on a happy face and gave her information. She's a useful ally because everyone hates her. Outcasts want her gone and the favorites are even thinking about taking her out over Semhar and Kim. Makes her a great meat shield, that's for sure.

[Ace Gordon]

Didn't note this last night cause it was literally right before I went to bed but...

Kelly is not willing to vote out Coach or Mary, but she is willing to vote out Mike to spare Judd, Dawg and Frosti. So if all goes well, Mike leaves and all three survive the merge.

Plan for us is to throw this upcoming IC and vote out whoever remains out of Kim or Semhar. I feel like Kim is the safer bet to keep now for a variety of reasons. But the main reason is because if we make it look like Kim masterminded the Semhar vote, Coach would be less willing to go out of his way to save Kim. This means any possibility of him transferring his idol to Kim to save her would, hopefully, be eliminated. On the other hand I could easily see him giving Semhar his idol the next time around should we dump Kim now like he wants us to.

[Ace Gordon]

Asked Bob for an update on what's going on... learned huge news in the process.

Everyone seems to think Coach or Frosti has the idol. Turns out Bob Dawg has the other idol. Even better, nobody expects Jay to have the other one. People still think Coach or Frosti has that one. So the vote there is going to be a clusterfuck and about four or five people are in contention for going home.

[Ace Gordon]

Looks like the outcasts were misleading our outnumbered friends. Frosti or Judd is going home in a revote. Shit.

I'm 100% throwing this next IC now. We need Kim or Wanda out of here... I'm not sure which one yet. But I can't afford losing Bob Dawg or whoever stays out of Judd/Frosti. We have two idols as extra insurance if things go awry at the merge. Game on, motherfuckers.
