Alright time to get you guys updated. This tribe has the potential to be very good for me if I can keep everyone in order. I unfortunately have the curse of everyone knowing who I am and my Stranded reputation so it's going to be hard to maneuver things perfectly. Alex pointed out you have season summaries out and I'm sure my Portugal one has me slated as the overplaying nut job that young Cochran actually was.
But we're going to be optimistic here. Tribe rundown:
1. Cassandra- Cass and Jeff are pretty interchangeable for top placement but I'm going to put Cass in here first because she's a lot more outspoken. We have a similar playing and writing style, I don't feel the need to sort of hide any of the aggression there and I feel that there's a mutual respect there. Definitely a long haul ally.
2. Jeff- Jeff is an old friend that not everyone really knows about? So he's going to be key if he can find footing with out me in being someone to depend on later. But it's hard to find trust in these games and I feel like with him there's no reason why I'm not able to trust him through this thing, as long as we keep communicating openly. Truthfully I'm not going to back stab this guy so as long as we're together expect big things.
3. Penner- He's third because while he's a good ally to have and is close to me I think he likely has a better relationship with the other two more. Still trust him in the short term but we can reevaulate as we get further away. He rounds out my alliance though, and I think that it's all but said out loud but I want that to be my group and I'm pretty sure they're all at least close to the same page. Trust level if very high for now, we're being very open.
4. Yve- Just a good chat, obviously very strong and one of the only people to keep up with my word vomit in messenger. I can see her potentially being courted by other people but I would want to work close with her if possible. Next chance I get I'm going to push towards some game talk here, she sounded like she wanted to talk things out with Cassandra, but also noted she knows Cass and I played together before, that's something to watch out for. I should note that her messages are obviously guided in how she talks. She's a player.
5. Aubry- Great chat too, talked about real life stuff and she's really relate-able. She's friends with Kimmi and that's something we bonded over for sure. Jeff noted that he was a fan of hers and I already sort of reached out saying we should figure out being on the same team. But if I can wrap those two in together to find a certain level of comfortability for them that would be best. I feel she's kind of disconnected from the rest a bit which could be good for me.
6. Kim- I just like Kim's style. She's a longer spoken kinda person and cut from the same cloth as me. I'm not sure how we're going to line up but I think that we can potentially work something out provided that we end up in a different situation. We'll see how that goes. Already kicking some good game talk but she's a vet so it's to be expected.
7. Alex- He's a little slower but I'll put him here because I want to work things out with him. I see him as another person who isn't entirely connected here and that's going to be a key pull in. He mentioned that he read up about everyone and I know none of the past season blurbs paint me that well. He and Penner have a similar time zone so I'm going to try and use that to build something here.
8. Tammy- She's fine. Very connected out here and I know of her, we talked about working things out here to keep us past the first vote but I'm not roped in here yet. Maybe it'll come over time but I like pretty much everyone else so some people need to fall by the wayside. I could work with her in a swap or something like it.
9. Ziggy- He's alright too, I really like everyone here but I think the shear fact of him being newer and connected with all the other Season 34 veterans that are riddled throughout the game. I don't know if this is like a death sentence for him at all or not since he has his fans but if I can keep him lower on everyone's radar that would be perfect.
10. Penny- Super slow and kind of a flop. Hopeful to push her as the first boot here if we can manage. I don't think it would be too hard. She's just so fucking dull.

Game plan is to be the middle point of the tribe. Should not be hard. I have an all but set alliance of four people who I'm working very closely with. The game plan though is to make a bunch of sub alliances to cover the rest of the team. 6 people would be enough but I don't want to just try and add two more because that would be a little bit too obvious almost? And it leaves room for others to try and turn against my four. So the plan is to rope in every person individually to a three person alliance involving me. Cassandra, Yve and Myself. Jeff, Aubry and Myself. Penner, Alex and Myself. That way I have some people who are relatively disconnected working with me and my alliance with it seeming like they're actually working in a tighter group than that. Yve has already confirmed since she is a little more goal oriented while the other two are wanting to talk and have fun which like fuck I get quarantine but I just don't care that much lol. That's not why I'm here. So I'm pushing that way. Hopefully with a unanimous Penny boot to kick things off but if she wins immunity then we can look at Ziggy or something. Only problem with eliminating Ziggy is that Jeff likes him but I think that we can potentially work around that. I'm not crazy worried.
