Alright, let's get this party started. Let's see how long it takes the Gold Tribe to learn that I'm not actually a millionaire. |

First order of business. Who PMs me first, and who needs me to take the initiative? This is always a fun game of chicken. Let's see who wins. |

The first three contenders are Jenn, Peih Gee, and Chumlee. One of these introductions is not like the other...
I'm intrigued by Peih Gee. I assume she's sending that offer out to everyone, but I think I'm more likely to take it seriously than most and that could bode well for me. Edited by Evan Marriott, Feb 15 2018, 05:53 PM.

Alright, feeling comfortable with Peih Gee. We're already talking about card strategy and expected values. JT has had plenty of time to PM me but didn't do so. I've sent one his way. |

Lots of Contact: Peih Gee Transitioning to Decent Amount of Contact: Jenn Stopped Replying To Me: Chumlee Never Replied To My First PM: JT, Bentley Hasn't Logged On Yet: Sanjaya Martin and I have just started talking, so no categorization there yet. |

Alright JT and Bentley, you've each had my PM for an hour and have yet to acknowledge that I do indeed exist. Thanks for creating an obvious bottom-tier of people to care about, I guess. |

JT has finally started messaging. We're not exactly gelling, although he did offer an alliance. Martin tells me JT offered one to everybody who PMed him first. JT then told Martin he wanted to make a group of him, Martin, and Chumlee. Now, JT asked Martin for ideas for a fourth and Martin said me, but I can't help but notice that I wasn't mentioned as one of JT's options in the first place. Meanwhile, I sent a message to Sanjaya earlier and finally got a response!
Well fuck you too. |

I like the sound of this. As long as I can avoid the "Evan's a threat because too many people like him!" scenario. (Remains blissfully unaware of all the other confessions where people say they hate Evan) |

Alright, I may be in a quad with Martin-Chumlee-JT. Wonder how this will pan out. |

Gone an uncomfortable length of time with no replies. Gotta shake off the rust and adjust my mindset. |

Alright, things are okay. Martin is my #1. Chumlee is great as well. JT is usable in the medium term. Peih Gee has potential but I want to talk to her some more. Jenn is giving me nothing from a game perspective. Bentley has made no impression on me. Sanjaya has left a negative impression. I can work with this. |

This is awkward. Martin and I have been talking. We actually don't need a fifth in our alliance because all we need is an easy first boot (which I think we have) and then #This4 is the majority. So of course JT goes and invites Jenn to be in the alliance. She's, and I quote, "in, sort of." That's some real confidence-boosting right there. So what does this mean for me? It means that I need to think about Jenn being the second boot from this tribe, because if she sticks around I risk her and JT creating a new four that doesn't have me in it. |

Oh God. Bit the bullet and tried segueing my convo with Jenn towards game talk. I told her that "JT mentioned that he liked you." A literal 10 seconds later I get a message from JT: "Want to join an alliance? I can't tell you who's in it, but don't be worried about being on the bottom!" Now that's diplomacy! Jenn may actually need to go first. |

Okay that's slightly better. JT isn't as big an idiot as I feared. |

Woo, was at work for most of the day but it's nice to come back to a winning result. I'm at a bit of a loss in terms of making connections outside my alliance. Peih Gee hasn't been messaging back. Sanjaya told me he was new, I gave him some advice to talk more with people privately, and he never replied. Bentley is almost aggressively bland. So that leaves #This5. I really, really wish it was #This4. And it turns out there may be a way to make that happen.
This is great news. Five splits into three and two too easily, and I don't want Martin and I to be the two. If I can actually get the others to open up with me then we may be able to make something happen. |

Okay, I finally have an opinion on Bentley. This guy is weird. I feel like either English isn't his first language or I'm slowly getting Kawazu'd. Something about his phrasing is hitting the uncanny valley for me:

I know I haven't been updating as much today. Unfortunately people aren't talking to me as much today. At what point can you send a followup PM to people who haven't replied to the last one without looking pushy? I suspect I'll find out later this evening. |

Huh, we reached an attack of "Oh god nobody is PMing me I'm going home next" anxiety a lot earlier than usual. |

Okay, woke up to five PMs and am feeling good again. Quick summary: Peih Gee wants her, me, and Jenn to be a trio. Sanjaya wasn't offended by my "Step up your game" message. Chumlee hasn't been getting anything from Peih Gee, Bentley, or Sanjaya either. JT is in all-business, all-the-time mode. I'm comfortably in the alliance, JT is perceived as the head, and things are going well. |

The -5 was played by either Peih Gee, Sanjaya, or Jenn; all of them are claiming that they played a six. Gonna use this to sow the seeds of Jenn being untrustworthy in JT's head:
