Day 1 me [gif] Salutations! You and me are about to dance the dance of SURVIVOR! One should always get to know their dance partner. May I introduce myself? I am Bellsprout, but you may call me whatever you like. them [image] Oh my, thank goodness I came to the premiere all ready dolled up. I'll have you know I'm quiet the expert at the Foxtrot! Fennekin is my name, but you can call me Fenny or whatever suits you. I might wind up calling you Bells. How are you doing? me My my, I must say you look poofy AND froufy. Such class! You make me think of a song! [chicago - overture & and all that jazz] Well, then, is it Mr, or Ms Fenny? Personally, I don't much adhere to such things, so you can use whichever you like with me. I like to both lead and follow in a good dance. ![]() So far, I'm doing quite well! I'm grooving along to a nice playlist and tapping away, fingers and toes as I type all my first messages. I'm the sort of person who needs a constant soundtrack to my life, and right now, I've got a good one! How are you, dear Fenny? them Ohh Chicago! I haven't seen that play in years. Thanks for the tunes. Although if we were gonna be dancing, I'd say the Cell Block Tango is a good song to start with ![]() According to the pokedex, Fennekins are mostly male, so we can use that one. At least until I evolve into Delphox. At that point we can switch over to Mrs since she has a beautiful dress! Are you listening to the Chicago sound track right now? Or what songs in particular are setting the mood for tonights introductions? I'm doing well. I was very surprised at how quickly this game started, I only submitted an application yesterday. It's made me a little nervous, but also anxious! I'm glad everyone on our tribe is active so far too. I'll probably have to head off to get some food soon but otherwises I'm doing good tonight. me It's a playlist full of songs that are all about dancing, performing and such. I found it on 8tracks and I've been listening to it nonstop all day today. I love Cell Block Tango, but it's a bit... murdery, and if I go around telling people that they remind me of that, some of them may think I'm being rude! It's nice to see that we share at least the occasional taste, though! I wonder how much overlap there is... That works for me! Mr Fenny sounds delightful~ You're the second person to mention that they were surprised how soon the game started. I guess not everyone has been waiting for this for months, huh? Haha, and you didn't eat before the game started? My, how unprepared! Think of all the things the rest of us shall say about you while you're gone! What, soon you'll be saying that you actually plan to sleep, I bet! How adorably naive. But don't you worry! When you come back, I'll still be here. And when the mean other players say rude things about you, I will totally have your back! After all, I don't think you're ear-hair is that noticeable or unsightly! Take care!~them It sounds like the type of playlist one would need after a hectic day. What are some of your favorite songs? Hehe, well I was mostly making a joke about dancing the tango, but Cell Block Tango is one of my favorites. And now its stuck in my head. Although maybe thats a good thing for a Survivor game. "Why did you vote out Player X?" "He had it coming!" Oh goodness... now you've made me even more nervous. Well hopefully people only say nice things about us tonight. Maybe I don't need sleep tonight now that I think about it. Hehe. So you were excited about this game a while? I've seen Pokemon themed survivor games on Mafiascum but never played any. Is it a good series? the mods causally mentioned it to me that they were hosting one so I applied last night and boom, game on. I had no idea it'd start that quick XD I will be getting some food now! Please make sure to let me know if anyone says mean things about me I'll bring you back some snacks as payment! <3me Hmmm, well I'll scroll through what's played so far. Hmmm Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment Marina & the Diamonds (<3<3<3), covering Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? Ke$ha (Katfyr remix) - We R Who We R Teddyloid - I Want You Studio Killers - In Tokyo That's not in any particular order, but just the highlights as I look back. I know there's some Queen in here, too, which I'm anticipating pretty hard! Yeah, oh my god, as soon as I saw it was being planned, I was in full HYPErdrive. Helmsman, take us to warp 5! And now I'm just jittering! It's finally happening! EEEeeeeeee! Oh shit, 'Don't Stop Me Now' just started! So perfect! Gotta jam, sorry!~ them Okay so right off the bat I think you and I are gonna get alone fine since I have 4 out of 5 of those songs on my ipod (although I also don't have the Marina and the Diamonds cover... gonna list to that now because I like them). And you can not go wrong with Queen. The Show Must Go On is one of my favorites from them. I give you an A+ on your music choice. Do you have a song of the moment that you are listening to a lot? A friend of mine introduced me to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAzH-YAlFYc. I don't know why but I liked it so much that I was singing it all through out December. O_O me It's a bit off-kilter to the songs I mentioned before, but this is in the back of my head like, constantly [grand ole party - watch out young son] That, and I've been listening to Mystery Skulls[link] a lot too. Oh! And Ivy Levan - Hang Forever! A friend shared that to me a week ago, and I've gone back to it a few times. Musically, I'm kinda all over the place. But yeah, that's about where I am right now. AND YES, The Show Must Go On is like my second favorite Queen song ever. After Don't Stop Me Now. They're both such instant-strut for me! I literally cannot listen to them without just flapping my gangly limbs all over the place. me Nice, that song was pretty great! I could totally see slipping that into my listening routine. We should just share shit back and forth if we're gonna be this in sync. :] them Never heard this song before but I love the tune of it. I'm assuming this is a more indie band right? Don't know who they are but I love her voice. It's always great to have a vareity in music. I like super poppy songs but I also wind up falling in love with more like rock like this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QralTt4Uado. Most people get very confused when I put my ipod on in the car. One section is a screaming dark metal song and the next thing you know its Britney, bitch. Have you gotten to speak to much of the tribe yet? I've talked to everyone but Pichu and so far everyone is pretty amazing. me Fuck yeah, Halestorm! Yeah I get that totally, when I was a lil thing, I was way to serious about my music tastes. I had to be 'authentic' and that meant being really damn uptight about whether something was punk or posing or just trash. And now, well I still love to appreciate music that doesn't get as much coverage, but I'm not nearly as snooty about what I listen to. I have just oods of TSwift and Ellie Goulding and just whatever just works, it goes in my playlist. If you can't just pop on the headphones and enjoy what you have, then what's the point? Yeah, pretty much the same deal here. Nobody's really falling flat for me, and the group seems varied and interesting! I get walls with you and Stunky, short/sweet joking messages with Unown, and Squirtle is somewhere in-between. Pichu's absence is a bit annoying, but *shrug*. They'll pick up the inbox or they won't. I've done my part in starting the conversation. That being said, it looks like most of them are turning in now. I may follow them, because I've already gotten a couple confessional posts made, and I think I've had a productive evening. That, and I have to work, so that means I actually should sleep... I guess. But probably not just yet. At least not if you're sticking around. :] them Oh you like Halestorm? XD Amazing!!! I 100% agree. People used to mock me for the tunes I like since I usually as a teen spent a lot of time picking up emo rock and stuff. They said it was tasteless and dull. But now I don't really care what people think. If you don't like the song I'm playing, you're free to leave the room. Or put your own headphones on. Haha thats pretty much the same vibe I'm getting Stunky is a talker and Squritle is super cute. I'm still getting to know Unown. Pichu finally messaged me back and has been short so far but I'm glad to see everyone is PMing and getting to know each other. On the topic of posts, I don't know if you've noticed but a few of the other tribes have a lot of posts already. It concerns me a bit in the whole we need to bring our A game to rock this challenge kind of way. I'm probably gonna be up a bit longer but soon I gotta sleep too. If I don't see you before you turn in, have a good night ![]() me Yeah, I'm talking to Pichu now, too. She's been a bit busy with summer research applications, I guess, so that's part of why she wasn't talking earlier. That and she didn't even know she had an inbox, lol! It's so refreshing to see that kind of newness to the game. I hope we can keep her around for a long time, personally. :] Eh, to be honest, I don't put a lot of stalk into post count vs challenge competence. From what I can see, at least 4 of us seem very committed to the game, so activity is probably just fine for us. At this stage, all posts that count would be useless chatter, right? My attention isn't directed that way. me That being said, wow. Vien has a posting problem. |

cont. Day 1 them Didn't know she had an inbox? Haha. Yeah she must be pretty new then! Thats pretty cool! Hopefully we can teach her the right ways of Survivor and show up to dominate the first challenge XDAnd yeah, post counts don't mean much espcially on night one, but like you saw, Vien is going crazy over there. I'm assuming they have like a "get to know you" post or something. Maybe we should do something like that tomorrow before the challenge goes up to make us a bit less on edge. me Sounds like an idea! I'll leave that to someone more leadery, because that's not me! Haha! I think this'll be my last message for the night. I've just said goodnight to Pichu, and I think she's absolutely great to talk to so far. Gotta say, this is a tribe of strong first impressions. It's exciting but also a bit worrying that any tribal council we go to may be a real wrestle. Anyways, goodnight! Talk to you tomorrow! |

cont. Day 1 them I might just post one for fun. Maybe a three letter story one? Or a this or that. Hmmm choices! Hehe. I wound up getting distracted by chores myself and just finished up. I'll see you on tomorrow. Have a good night Bells!Day 3 them Hey Bells! Congrats to us for winning. <3 I'm glad we didn't lose such a luck based challenge. How has life been around camp? I've been able to chat it up with everyone in depth now. Anything new happen with you? Things are pretty stable on this end. I think even if we had lost we'd both would be in good positions so thats a relief. me Yeah, that would have been frustrating. I was also thinking how glad I was that the silver serum ended up being a poison recovery item, and not some in-game advantage temptation. It would have been really frustrating to spend our time wondering who got it, and what it was, and all that crap. By the way, when you were saying how you wanted to make sure I took the right serum, were you worried that people might go for the silver one? I'm glad no one seems to have seriously considered it, though I think I remember Squirtle mentioning it. Ironically, if he'd taken it, he'd be the only person on our tribe who could have used it. ![]() I've actually been a bit too busy to talk much. I've had crappy shifts at work, so my schedule wasn't really great for when I usually prefer to play, I get home late and dead tired. Because of that, last night, I sent all of 3 PMs, and since then, I'm only now getting another chance to start PMing. So yeah - kinda fell behind a bit. That being said, it looks like everyone has high praise for you. I agree that it seems unlikely that you'd have anything to worried about. Squirtle and Stunky both seem to like you a lot. I haven't kept up with Unown very well, so I don't know what your impressions are, but I feel the least attached to him, I guess. Overall, things have been uneventful from my side. them Nooo. I'm sorry if it came across that way! XD I didn't think the Silver Serum had anything in with regards to an advantage anyway since the host said we have to use our "hostile serums" on two tribes. Made me think that whatever was in there had to be about the challenge because there was no way to tell if it was a Hostile Serum or not, you know what I mean? It was more like, god forbid something happens and you couldn't log on, I wanted to grab the Violet Serum to make sure it was used since it was clearly the strongest one. And it helped us secure victory thank goodness. Smart choice on that pick! Haha XD But yeah, I'm sorry if it came across that way. Don't worry about it. Real life happens. I've played through games on bad shifts where I went a few days without talking to people. Glad to see you're back though PMing. <3 I'm also flattered to hear that about Squritle and Stunky. I haven't heard anything bad about yourself, but a few have said you were being a bit quiet. But if you're work is giving you hell thats totally understandable. Other than that, yeah I mean I heard similar things with Unown sorta that they kinda drifted off with him. So far, overall it seems we're all pretty much content with each other. No one seems to stand out as being a rough patch in the tribe which is great. I hate when you have that one person who everyone just dreads talking too. Who do you think is gonna get the boot over on Vien? If we go by post count, Trapinch has the lowest. LOL I'd like to see Turtwig go though just cause he has 70 posts in the first round. Seriously what the fuck is thaaaattttt me Haha, no it's cool. I didn't want to be the one to say it, but I was very suspicious about someone going for the silver serum to get an advantage, which I guess is why I wondered if you were thinking similarly. In my opinion, that sort of consideration is very important! So absolutely no offense was taken, even if that was what you had meant. ![]() Yeah, to be honest, I don't even want to think about TC because there's no way this is gonna be an easy decision. I guess I have a hunch or something as to who might go, but it's really up in the air. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will do something seriously scummy! ![]() Oh my god. Seriously, seventy damn posts? I feel annoyed by them from all the way over here, and I can't even read the spam. What on earth could possibly be worth that much talking. It really serves that tribe right to have to go to tribal. I bet it's interesting, if they're all gonna be so active. Oh my god, I hope some serious drama happens. A big fight. Total blow up. That would be amazing to hear about when a swap happens, or if we're lucky, during a challenge. Wanna make a bet on it? I just looked at all their profiles, and they're doing the same thing I am! Jerks stole my style. (except haha, they don't have the same mildly creepy pokemon green sprites that I do. Take that!) All except Trapinch. I think you may be on to something, because that feels like he's on the outs, or a bit of a free spirit. Also, Turtwig's signature is kinda funny, so maybe he's spending all his posts being a goofball. He's probably safe. |

cont. Day 3 them Mhm. On the topic of Tribal, I was actually thinking. These tribes are probably not gonna last too long. Two more rounds at that I think. The next round may be a double boot and then a triple boot on the third round. That would be miserable, but I'm pretty sure they can't keep having single boots with 24 players. I don't doubt we can win the next challenge but if it is a triple boot on the third week, may Arceus have mercy on our souls. >_< Hopefully that won't be the case though LOL Yeah like seriously what kind of thread were they talking in that got it that high? I thought about posting like a three word story thread for our own tribe but 70 posts is ridiculous. Combined that whole tribe may have even more posts than the mods. I'm hoping and praying that they are this active they are totally going under some major drama right now. I think whoever goes may be pretty telling based on their post count. Turtwig may just be spamming up doing random shit in their team thread and really be on the outs. Only so much can be gathered by who goes but its still interesting. Mhm lets make a bet. Who are you betting on going? I'm gonna pick... idunno. Maybe I'll stick with Turtwig LOL me Okay, then I'll take the safe bet with Trapinch. Wanna do a whole draft? You choose one more, and I'll take two of the remaining three, leaving you one. Winner gets a shiny new ribbon to accessorize with for all those swanky Pokemon Contests.Yeah, honestly, I was surprised when I saw it was only gonna be one tribe going to TC after the last challenge. I was expecting each round to be double TCs until our first swap. You're probably on the right track with your predictions. I guess that's all the more reason to start considering who's the weak link in our little group. :\ Considering how all the other tribes seem to have ganged up on Vien together, it's probably a good thing you never started that thread. Not that I see us really getting up to the same levels that they did, but it's good to blend in when possible. On that note, if it doesn't turn out that we'll be experiencing double/triple TCs, have you considered making sure that we lose at least one challenge before a swap happens? I'm not saying throw the next one we go to - all that does is set us up to lose momentum and keep losing challenges after that - but if we walk into a swap untouched, we're gonna be in the same position Vien just found themselves in. Numbers is good, but with three other tribes to compare against, a slight numbers advantage isn't worth being seen as a threat that needs to be knocked down a peg. It all goes back to the idea that we should do what we can to blend in and seem average. Something to consider, if we keep avoiding TCs in the next round or two, at least. What are you up to tonight? Have you been listening to anything good lately? them Sounds like fun. Next I will take Oshawatt. ![]() Hmm... No I totally think that is a reasonable fear with regards to challenges. If we win every single one, we'd enter a swap with a target on our back and thats nothing I want to deal with. I'm not going to go out of my way to try and lose any challenge, at least not yet. We have no idea how long these tribes will last... maybe for some reason the hosts may instead of a tribe swap have the bigger tribes absorb the losing ones. Unlikely, but who knows. To be honest, I have a feeling we won't need to throw a challenge. I think Lunik and Vien are gonna be the challenge kingpins when it comes to actual challenges. If we go into double boots, I think we'll probably lose one without trying to anyway. Then again, with 4 tribes, even if we win everything I'm sure there will still be a healthy group of people on any swapped tribe. With good negotiation I'm sure we could enter into a swap at full power and stay fine. It's happened before. On the topic of weakest link, have you thought at all about it yet? I know that if we're speaking open and honest, up until the challenge I thought maybe Pichu. But I think Pichu proved herself more than valuable with the whole statics thing and I totally don't want to see her go first. She def won my respect. I don't know if anyone else was thinking it though, I haven't discussed potential boots yet. Today I listen to Gorgeous from Idina Menzel. Its an old song but I love her voice so its still one of my favs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnbSAw-FQ0g If you're curious! me Okay, then I'll take Snorunt and Tyrunt, just because of their matching names. No one wants two runts in the same tribe. I think that means Fennekin's draft: Turtwig, Oshawatt, Finneon Bellsprout's draft: Trapinch, Snorunt, Tyrunt May the best poké win. *handshake* For sure, we don't even need to consider throwing for at least one more round. No one's gonna look at us as being all that with just two challenge wins. We definitely have time to feel this out, and see what happens first. And while I hope we can keep strong in whatever challenge we face, I figure we're gonna end up losing sooner or later. But still, it was something that was worth bringing up and putting on the table. Now that it's something we can talk about, we're just better off. ![]() I totally see where you were coming from regarding Pichu, but I had a different experience talking to her, so for me she was never really at the bottom. I think if I had to pull out a name, it'd be Unown. I'm trying to see if I can kindle a connection there, but we'll see whether that sticks. Oh, I love her voice! I'll check that out right now! Here's a silly recommendation that popped up in my feed today: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnHVMcPyMXc] I love these sort of reimaginings. them *shakes your leaf* I'm excited now to see who turns up the first pokemon voted out. Hehe. Yeah don't worry, I'm not gonna go around spreading stuff about throwing a challenge. If you think we need to throw one though to maintain the image or not being too strong, let me know. If I think we need too I'll mention it to you too. Mhm Yeah I figured you two seemed to hit it off pretty well. Pichu was only really on bottom for me up until the challenge. Once we started chatting I totally grew respect for her and that whole perspective has changed. As for Unown, I know he is difficult to chat with yeah. I don't think your alone in your thoughts on him. I dunno how much that extends to people considering him as a boot or what not but I don't think you're wrong about pulling his name. LOL A 60s verison of Bye Bye Bye. This is hilarious and amazingly well done.... I love it. me Sounds like a deal. We can be like Peih-Gee and Dugan if we do this. Oh my god, I might just get hyped to lose something! ![]() But seriously, obviously challenge-throwing is a last-resort sort of option. If you did have to suggest someone, who would it be? Not to force the issue or anything, but I told you mine, so fair's fair. ![]() them Hmm. I mean at the moment I think Unown is probably who I'd go for. You've mentioned him, I know a few others have said he's hard to chat with. I'd be okay with that because I think the majority of the tribe would want to do it as well and with such a small tribe its better to find common ground. But I'm always up for anything if things change. But I don't think anyone else stands out against the crowd. At least not yet. |
