We have over 50 applicants, all of which are new to the series, which is really great.

It can't be Alex, Danielle! Lex said in the sign up thread that all of the applications are fresh to the series, so if Semhar is Alex, that would mean that Lex was lyi... oh.

Well, now that I see myself saying that, I suddenly realize how stupid it seems.

[Semhar Tadesse]

I just had my first emotional break-down with Shawna. I'm getting ready to leave to the club so I can get plastered and be a total mess. So, in case I don't mention it in my next confessional you should remind me to talk about it

[Semhar Tadesse]

EPISODE III
”She sounds mexican.”

Well, shit just got fucked. I firmly believe I am going home this round. It’s so frustrating because I was the one to figure out the password and I was here despite the fact that I could have been away getting drunk already, I made my friends stay longer so I could complete the challenge for this people. And then to lose by three minutes? So discouraging. Not only that but the fact I left to go get wasted [which I am, but this is sobering me up [FML!]] and have a blast is seemingly acting against me because once again I missed out on the initial discussion which we all know is when plans get born.

I know I have Shawna in my corner and I am hoping the good relationships I have made with a lot of the others will help me as well. But I don’t know at this point. I am gonna give it my all because I don’t want to go, not when my character is so underdeveloped. Not when I know I can get an All-Stars spot and gain some redemption from past performances… I need this, I really do and I am going to do my best to get it. Fuck voting emotionally this round, I am going to be smart and keep myself in the game. Just this once.

I did start an emotional tirade earlier though. With Gregg and Shawna, I sold them this sob story about how I would have to leave early because I had to go study because if I didn’t pass my algebra final tomorrow I would have to take my class again and then potentially lose my RA job. Which, is actually true, but I still wanted to go clubbing so I didn’t do it. But that’s where they think I was tonight, and I threw this huge melodrama about how incredibly upset I was that I was going to leave soon [while I was putting on nice clothes and fixing my hair], in the end I did stall my friends for a bit so I could finish the challenge so the whole melodrama was unnecessary, it just made me look like a mess because I kept bringing up how I had to leave soon so we had to hurry during the challenge.

There is talk, according to Shawna about Bobby Jon being a target soon, since he is perceived as the weakest in challenges and he has ties with people on other tribes, which we all know is a very dangerous thing. I like him, but I like Gregg as well, in reality I like everyone on the tribe, so it would be hard to vote anyone out, but I have to survive and truth be told Gregg is the one who is the least around in AIM so my tie with him is a little weaker, if anything.

Time to work some magic.

P.S. Elise, I will def work on your poem soon. I have to save myself AND study for my finals tomorrow, because I don’t want to get fired. And probably rest at some point since my whole world is spinning.

EPISODE IV
”To be determined.”

Episode titles are back, thank Jesus! However, I have to say I am rather disappointed none of those quotes are mine, because lets face it: I’m freakin’ hilarious. Then again neither of the episode titles are funny, so maybe they are going for boring episode titles this season? Regardless, now that episode titles are back, I will make it my objective to have at least one by the time I’m voted out. I have great one liners, so I deserve one, AT LEAST.

Back on track, Gregg got voted out. Which was a huge relief, I really thought I was going to be voted out. Then again, I was pretty wasted so it could have been the paranoia from the alcohol making me much more worried than I should have been. Continuing with the good news band-wagon: today all my residents left so my activity level should sky-rocket into stardom and allow me to be SUPER active, that way no one is going to be able to complain about me not being around or whatever the fuck them bitches have been complaining about me. Hopefully this also means I will be posting more confessionals and I can actually start the “story” portion of my confessional.

As for tonight’s challenge… I’m thinking we are having a swap, and the three winners [one per tribe] get to pick new tribes, there are no sit-outs so you know something is gonna happen, because the only other option is that they average the whole tribes endurance scores, but why would they do that? Too many numbers. So either all three tribes go to Tribal and one person is immune for each, or the winners pick the new tribes. I’m going for the tribe-picking option, if anything, because it would be far less expected since half the players in the game are not even that smart or versed in possible twists and happenings of the game, so I feel they would be more surprised with that than a Triple Tribal.

If it’s a triple tribal then I need that stinking immunity, because we all know who is near the bottom of the totem poll now that we have gotten rid of the three easy votes. I’m not sure how another vote for Chorizo would go, at all. Me or Mick, I think, unless Shawna/Chase are still willing to throw Bobby Jon under the bus because of his connections with Aras and everyone else. I hope so.

P.S. tomorrow’s St.Patrick’s, can we not have anything due by then? I am going to be wasted from the second I wake up. All class right here baby

EPISODE IV
”I’m going down, but not on you.”

The challenge is finally over for me, and let me tell you, that was a pain in the ass. Not because the challenge was hard but because I had to endure people complaining about how boring it was. Me? I wasn’t bored. I was playing Draw Something while I had to wait for the minute to go by, so I kept myself entertained. When I was out of moves, I started watching YouTube videos but that proved to be a mistake because I would often forget to post since I was distracted. Overall I think I did really good. I could have probably done better but honestly, I am all about minimal effort. Mick and Bobby Jon did two-hundred-and-fifty which means I won’t be the lowest and then the blame can go on someone else. It’s a really good number, I feel. Shawna is an over-achiever and did three-hundred. And from the complaints from other tribes they are not doing so fresh, member-wise, we have all started, at the very least. Except maybe Amber, but she always shows up last minute. So, as long as she posts and comes down we should be good to go. We are expecting first, but second place [since they don’t go to Tribal] would not bother me.

Which, by the way, Brett & Lex: next time you are planning challenges please don't listen to Miley Cyrus. 'cause we all know that's how this challenge was born!

I really hope Salchicha can lose this challenge, but it looks like Bayonaca are going to continue to be mediocre like they have so far. I know it sounds fucked up that I say it when Chorizo has been losing a lot more, BUT think about it this way: every challenge besides the last one we came in second, Bayonaca has always lost or been lower than someone, they have never been number one in a challenge. We are slightly less mediocre than them, and especially when you notice we don’t have that Closet-Whore Misty as our leader. Which I just noticed, we are in the order we were chosen in the banner as opposed to by alphabet, that is a reminder that I was his, almost, last choice.

As of right now it seems that if by some reason we ended losing Bobby Jon would go home, people don’t trust him and view him as the weakest link of them all, accordingly he was comparable to Gregg and since he scored the same as I did for this challenge, then he would continue to be viewed as the weakest member. No problem at all.

I also realize that I have been lacking character a lot, besides the poems I have not done much more. Which is sad, because normally I’m SUCH a character, I surely hope I’m not boring you guys. I just haven’t had any reasons to do anything super emotional, I might have a mental break down if we lose this one though. And the fact I have no real alliance means I can’t vote all emotional either, then again if we lose I might vote with Bobby Jon since we are kinda good friends and Amber has been distant, so maybe an emotional vote that way?

I don’t know, the game is going well though and I am truthfully enjoying myself. I am very glad I decided to join even if it was super last minute. I hope you guys are enjoying watching the game unfold, but more importantly, enjoying me and don’t fine me some kind of game-bot, poser or any other horrible atrocity that would surely make me commit suicide faster than being locked in a room with Colton for a few minutes.

Anyways, HAPPY ST.PATRICK’s day! I hope everyone gets beyond wasted tonight

P.S. I will have that poem up soon. As will I have the story of Semhar up soon. Probably tomorrow.

EPISODE IV
”I’m going down, but not on you.”

I don’t think I have commented on our victory yet. Well, we won. Finally! It was long over-due and luckily the losers were Salchicha even though Sekou is obviously going since he went MIA. So we technically don’t win anything. It’s a pity that Gregg left before an inactive though. However, this is a reason to celebrate because I almost never win tribal challenges, possibly because I love going to Tribal Council. Actually, anyone who plays this games and doesn’t like going to Tribal is a retard because strategizing is the fun part of playing, I guess unless the whole tribe is super cloe and good friends.

Anyways, since we won and in first place [notice how my score was around the average] we get to decide whom to give the HII clue. And this idiots want to give it to the slave-runner Misty, it makes me mad because everyone always says she is such a sweetheart and all this amazing things and honestly she is a big bitch. Don’t you hate when people have the wrong perception of people? Plus, she is smart and the betch can get the Hidden Immunity Idol if she gets the clue, I mean come on, it’s common sense. Give it to Tammy, she was last picked and she is pretty cool.

It looks like Misty is going to get it, I’m not sure if that is because she has friends outside the game or this people are stupid enough to think she is the best choice. But I’m not budging, it’s going to go to a randomizer and give Tammy a shot. And then I’m gonna go ask Tammy if she has it and if she says no explain how Misty has it or whatever, that’s not against the rules is it?

Anyways, Semhar says she is very honest and blunt, and she wears her feelings on her sleeve so I figure I can add that and just say whatever is on my mind and not just give in to what they want me to do. Semhar wouldn’t do that, she would fight for what she wants and be stern, and then when she loses she would go cry or something. And that’s what I plan to do. Just because it would be funny and because I sort of feel strongly about Mistramp not getting any help.

Besides that I hope this victory gives us some momentum so we don’t have to worry about Tribal Council. I should probably write a poem about our victory, but I am feeling beyond lazy… we will see. Oh, and LOL at Brenda’s post, so delusional <3.

[Semhar Tadesse]

Shawna
Hey Semhar
Semhar
Hey!
How was your St-Pattys?
Shawna
it was fun
how was yours?
Semhar
Great!
Shawna
did you drink green beer?
Semhar
YES, obviously, you can't go out and not get green beer.
Shawna
lol
Semhar
I assume you did too?
Shawna
no, just beer lol
they didn't have green beer
maybe too hard to dye guinness
Semhar
Maybe, that sucks though.
Shawna
btw I agree with you about Misty
she is very smart and I have a feeling she is pretty set on her tribe
as far as her safety
Semhar
I don't see how they don't see it. Bobby Jon and me talked about it over aim and he kept pushing towards giving it to her.
Shawna
he probably has a deal
Semhar
You think?
Semhar
I hope not because I feel strongly about not giving it to her.
Shawna
I do too
I'm talking to Amber to try to get her to change her "vote"
okay this is what I think
and I could be wrong
but first BJ mentioned savage
and then he was all for agreeing about misty
misty is captain so she has to have had deals about who she picked to be on her tribe and Im sure she has an alliance
so she's not going anywhere
idc how long since she signed on
Semhar
And we have to remember there's an invisible user on the board.
Shawna
but I think BJ might have told savage he'd try to pick him
Semhar
And she could still come back. Since they aren't going to Tribal.
Shawna
and maybe savage/misty are aligned
idk
bj knows a lot of people
basically i just dont want to pick whoever he suggests lol
Semhar
Misty DID pick Savage first.
lol
Shawna
yep
Semhar
I don't even care if Tammy gets it, I just don't want it to go to Misty and them.
Shawna
i agree
Semhar
I guess Amber is the only way to tie it, Chase voted with them to make majority...
Shawna
I saw that
I am trying to talk to chase but he's not ansewring
Semhar
he stopped answering me too
Shawna
he does that a lot though
I think he might be at work
Semhar
oh, probably
Shawna
okay i just looked through all the faces of people who were online in the last 24 hours as far as the players
so unless that invisible user is a pw, it's misty
Shawna
and why would a pw be invisible?
Semhar
they have no reason to be
at all
Shawna
yep
Semhar
Misty probably went invisible so people would believe her whenever she had an excuse to not do the challenge.
Shawna
Okay semhar I heard that Tom has a hii - and he was picked 4th on their tribe, so if there is an alliance of the top three, or maybe the top four picked, we are just giving them another clue on top of an hii. I think your idea of tammy is right because she was picked last. she is kind of quiet so I am betting she's not in tight with the group.
Shawna
amber posted that she is not sold but I think she needs to post a name or it's going to misty
Semhar
Good, at least we got her more to see our point of view.
Well, you got her haha
Does Tom really have a HII?
Shawna
I think he got 3 clues so unless he's a total moron he should
if you have 3 clues it points to the hii
Semhar
ooooh yeah you told me this before
Shawna
and I re-read my clue - it says "one of the hii's"
Semhar
damn
Shawna
so there have to be one for each tribe
Semhar
I was about to say that, but I am sure anyone can claim it.
Shawna
yeah idk
Semhar
I hope we can keep the momentum from winning.
Shawna
me too
Shawna
we sooo overworked but we won so that's good lol
now i kind of wish bayonaca lost because salchicha will just vote off sekou
Semhar
That's what I posted in my confessional, but at the same time, next time they lose they'll have to do something.
Shawna
true
but we keep looking at salchicha as so strong..and they are. But we can't discount Bayonaca either
Shawna
anyway, I just want to do the opposite of whatever BJ says lol
Semhar
Yes, thats true. I just feel if it came down to it, we have a better shot against Bayonaca.
Plus, BJ's people are on Salchicha.
Shawna
he probably has people scattered
Semhar
True. If we lose again he is for sure the vote, right?
Shawna
I want to vote him yes
Semhar
Has Chase said anything else about it?
Shawna
hopefully we can convince two more people
no but just the fact he brought his name of last time means he might be willing
*his name up
Semhar
Yes, true. I think if we get that Mick would go with majority.
Shawna
yeah im sure he would
Semhar
Amber listens to you a lot too, so I think its doable.
Shawna
we'll see if she does - I think she listens to BJ too
Semhar
BJ is a charmer for sure.
Shawna
it says if we dont pick by noon it'll be randomized
and by then it was 2/2 misty v tammy
Semhar
lmfao its past noon
Shawna
i know lol
amber just posted tammy
lol
Semhar
I guess at least we have a 50/50 chance?
Shawna
yeah
chase is a blockhead
lol js
Semhar
lol whyy
Shawna
idk lol
I like him but sometimes I just feel like he's the strong silent type
unless he really wants misty to have it idk
Semhar
He is, he doesn't talk much or when he does its like short periods of time, it makes it kinda hard when we are so chatty.
He is hard to read.
Shawna
I agree
Semhar
It makes me nervous, I'd rather know where people stand.
Shawna
me too
Semhar
Which is why I trust you the most.
I don't think you are sketchy at all.
Shawna
because I tell you everything Im thinking lol
and thanks I trust you the most too
Semhar
haha yeah :-P
we just have a good open communication
Shawna
I value you the most out of everyone in the tribe
well game lol
but you know what i mean
Semhar
Yeah, I feel the same way. 100%
Shawna
Oh Lord I'll just say it lol. Do you want a F2 with me?
Semhar
YES!
<3
Shawna
lol okay!
Semhar
It was kind of a given lol
Shawna
I hate to make deals like that too early but I thnk we're far enough into the game
I agree but when I say it I mean it so I just like to make sure you know
Semhar
I know exactly what you mean, because things can change so fast but I think we have established enough trust.
I am good with my word too, I don't like breaking it.
Shawna
cool lol
well we're pretty much on the same page
with our thoughts/opinions
Shawna
and we're both strong and you're very smart lol
and this Misty thing...like you obviously saw alarms when they started saying Misty
Semhar
Thanks! But I agree, we seem to think very similarly even about the people playing the game, so that's good. Because we won't get into many arguuments or disagreements.
Semhar
Sorry to cut this short. I have to finish cleaning the place before my one remaining roommate comes back now that I have the chance lol
I will talk to you later tonight. Have a good one Shawna!
Shawna
[Offline IM sent 36m ago] np i'll ttyl

Me and Shawna are officially a Final Two! Who is excited? I am, I feel like it's gonna be bomb. I haven't made a Final 2 with someone I don't really know in SUCH a long time, it's a nice feeling.

[Semhar Tadesse]

Semhar
Hey Tom
Tom
hey semhar!
Semhar
How are you?
Tom
im good
how about you?
Semhar
I'm pretty good as well. Nervous about this swap.
Tom
aww
i know its scary for me as well
i hardly know anyone on this new one except for andrew
Semhar
I only know Bobby Jon
Tom
that's good
Semhar
I think it's 2-2-2
Tom
i mean id love to work with u guys if u wanna
Semhar
That could be smart, since Salchicha definitively has the numbers in general.
Tom
its actually 3-2-2 if u think old tribal lines lol
but i discount penner
i didnt trust him back in bayonaca
Semhar
I forgot Penner.
Tom
hes not even showing up tonight lol
so we might as well just hand in the towel
Semhar
Well, I'm game with you guys, if you are all fine with it.
Tom
id love it
Semhar
Do you trust Andrew and Jonathan?
Tom
i would trust andrew over jonathan
jonathan likes to stir shit lol
Semhar
Does he? Damn...
Tom
yeah
he has the habit to tell to everyone what u tell him
so dont trust him lol
Semhar
I will do my best not to.
Tom
so who else do u think we can add?
Semhar
Who do we even have so far?
Tom
theres bj, you, me
then theres mike, andrew, chelsea, penner
Semhar
I'm not too sure how much we can get BJ in, have you talked to him yt?
Tom
i have talked to him
but if u dont consider him trustworthy then we shouldnt include him
Tom
how was it like in old chorizo?
Semhar
To be honest, there were a lot of rumours going on around him. I always got along with him and I like him, but I am hesitant.
Tom
aahh
then if ur not comfortable with him, i will respect that
Semhar
I'm not sure if I am. I mean I kind of am, but at the same time, I'm not. I know that makes no sense.
Semhar
What did BJ say?
Tom
wait let me check
he hasnt really talked about what he wants yet
everyones just asking me the same ol question if i was an outcast lol
Semhar
Why do they think that? Were you?
Tom
i was
didnt really like it
and btw
mike just offered an alliance of u, me, chelsea
if u want that then ill be with you on it
Semhar
Do you think we can trust them?
I have BARELY talked to either.
Tom
i have talked to them for a few during the first challenge and they seem fine
but if worse comes to worse im with you and not them
Semhar
I'm with you too,seriously. I like the fact you are so open.
Tom
plus i know they barely talk to each other
so maybe we can use that to our advantage when its just us 4
Semhar
Really?
Tom
yeah but we can work with them for now :-)
and i like you too!
Semhar
Okay, I'm fine with that, I think. It depends on what BJ says, because if he is gonna be with us I'd hate to abandon him to his luck.
Tom
we can add him as a 5th
Semhar
Or maybe work with them and keep BJ to be the swing vote?
Tom
so as we have our options open
yeah
that sounds good
Semhar
And if they think you are the swing vote it would give you power.
like in the 5
Tom
yes and we can determine what we can do by then
Semhar Tdesse
Sounds like a good idea to me.
I'm in.
Tom
ok :-)

Off the gate strategizing, putting myself in a good position from the get-go. Who's the Goddess now? BYATCH!

[Semhar Tadesse]

EPISODE V
”Hosts gonna be regreeeetting this.”

Who’s surprised by the tribe-swap? Not this betch, why not? Well, last round I thought we were at Final eighteen [for whatever reason] which is why I expected a swap, when I realized we were down to not only twenty-two but only one tribe got to go to Tribal I knew that you guys wanted to weed us down to twenty-one so that we could swap remaining in three tribes. Basic math finally comes in handy, for once.

Anyways, the tribe swap happened and of course I get in a tribe with the most wishy-washy person. I guess I could be in a worst spot, like Mick who is Mickfucked. Poor guy, he was nice. But at least it’s not me, so who the fuck cares? On this tribe, as you can see with the conversation above, I am already settled into an alliance. Tom, myself, Chelsea, Mike and probably Bobby Jon. An alliance allows me to be super emotional and vote with my heart and basically give tons of fangasms to all the people who love me. So I expect a million thumbs up to this post.

Anyways, this challenge is absolute love. I always wanted to play in one like this because a very similar one is a given in the games I host and it’s one of my favorites from the real show. So this is just absolutely amazing to me. Sadly, my tribe-members don’t understand how to play it so I am having to educate them, for now we are fine, but once we get rid of Chorizo I want all of us to post on the same minute so we get some momentum going, it’s easy to overcome people posting all over but once we post as a unit it should be a done deal, because we have more members than the others around at the moment.

I think we can win, our tribe seems stacked. Besides Jonathan who hasn’t shown up, funny enough Morgan is a good friend of mine but since I’m going full alias I’m not going to reveal it to anyone. Not even Tom who is one of my closest friends in ORG-land is going to know it’s me. For what it’s worth I’m Semhar here and I am going to play the whole game like that. Even if it kills me, which it might very well do.

Anyways, now that I have an alliance going I am pretty pumped for what is to come. Emotional train-wreckery is at the reach of my hand, can you see it coming?

[Semhar Tadesse]

I would like to point out that I'm NOT sucking at the challenge, I am doing the minimal effort so it looks like I care. Why? For starters I want to go to Tribal Council 'cause it's fun and then, because I want Mick to stay safe since I might be able to use him in the future. I'm being devious. Oops2me.

[Semhar Tadesse]

EPISODE V
”Hosts gonna be regreeeetting this.”

So, we ended losing the challenge. Not from lack of trying [by the rest of my tribe-mates] but because quite frankly the others were better and had more dedicated members of the tribe. I hate to assume but I want to say it has something to do with Matt, he looks like a total power player and the leader type, the fact that the new Chorizo is basically the old Salchicha with Stephanie and Mick is not helping out case either.

But whatever, because I'm set for a few rounds, at the very least. This round Jonathan should be leaving, not only because everyone agreed on the chat-room that he should get the fuck out but because he came into the board, went invisible and didn't even attempt to post once, which would have taken him less than five minutes. We could have used him, but he decided to just hide on the shadows and be a pussy. Well, pussy gets fucked, so I hope he enjoys it.

In all honesty, if I have it my way after him we would get rid of Chelsea, not because I don't like her but because of two reasons: One. I don't really trust her and I think she probably has a strong bond with people like Sydney/Sandra and Two, because I want to be the only girl on the tribe, just for lulz.

So, after this round I am going to thread the water with Tom and see if it's a possibility. Tom being my closest ally is funny, because I came here with Bobby Jon but me and Tom have that connection thing going, we always work well together but this time he doesn't even know its me so it's funny that he seemed to trust me from the get go.

If Tom is on board then I am certain Andrew and Bobby Jon would be too, probably not Mike but we wouldn't hide it from him, because lets face it, he would then hate us forever and ever., And according to what he told me it's me, him and Tom because as he put it "We are the outcasts." yeah, seriously. The motherfucker called me an outcast, he clearly doesn't know I was and still am a popular betch, not an outcast...Hmmm, that gives me an idea for the next game I play... I wanna create a character that treats Survivor like High School and is the Queen Bee, wouldn't that be lulz as fuck?

Anyways back to this, it seems like I am in a great position, so getting rid of Chelsea might be easier than it sounds. Once Jonaturd is gone I shall focus on making the extinction of the blondes happen in Bayonaca. Wish me luck!

[Semhar Tadesse]

So, I'm pretty fucking pissed off and I might have broken character a little bit going off on Penner at Tribal. But honestly I'm SO mad, I hate when people come into online games and tell other people they don't have a life and that's why they are playing or why they got voted out? Um, excuse me? I have a fucking life, I work as a fucking Resident Assistant which means not only do I have to take care of my own life and my grades but of thirty other college students and make sure all of them excel, I am also captain of one of the volleyball teams on Camps, an active member of the Diversity club [soon to be voted President], President of ROTORACT and an e-board member for RHA. So, yes, I have a very busy life which is why I no longer play ORG's anymore, I'm on break so I have time.

It just pisses me off, I know it shouldn't but I hate how people come here and insult someone else for "not having a life" when they play so many of these games all the time. You had to go ONE High School friend, big deal, man up and admit that you fucked up and be happy that you chose your real life over a stupid online game. But don't be petty about it and try to bring people down and insult their character and their life.

I'm just so over people being like this, why can't people just be nice to each other? Or bitch about things game-wise and leave personal lives alone?

Sorry for this rant, it probably seems retarded, but it's something I deal with every single day with my residents and I received really fucking bad news today and comments like that are sending me borderline a non-pretend mental breakdown....

FUCK.MY.LIFE.

[Semhar Tadesse]

This video was me yesterday, at 1:27 is me today.
You wouldn't understand, it's a Semhar thing

[Semhar Tadesse]

Trying to decide the Episode title for the 6th episode, between:
"you cant gain a gangsta rep if you never go" or "we will find an excuse for me to ghetto finger snap" with good grammar, obviously.

Thoughts?
