Week 4 - Narrowing the Field

[Parker Somerville]

I love how Chima and Britney were evicted on unanimous votes. See that viewers? That's some good ol' fashioned reality show justice there~

So now we're going to be heading into another Head of Household competition and there's only four players on the nice side that can compete; Nick, Karen, Dominic, and Lori; I know Lori for sure won't put me up if she wins and I have a good chance on not going up on the block if Nick wins too. Dominic I'm going to butter up like crazy, the only person that I'll probably need to put some significant effort into is Karen.

I think I'll be fine this round but I need to actually work and solidify something that will make me a formidable opponent at the Final Two as opposed to just being a floater. I seriously don't want to screw this third and possibly final opportunity up.

[Parker Somerville]

Cross out Dominic's name since he forgot to vote apparently... herpa derp.

[Parker Somerville]

I'm officially in an alliance... shock of shocks. In terms of who's left in the game, the only people who I don't have any legitimate deals with -that either never happened or I could really care less about- are with Dick, Jason, Nick, and Russell... everyone else I'm pretty cool with although Dominic is a little iffy.

Anyways here's the conversation in question formulating my now firm alliance... with Karen.

Ryouseiken 11:30 pm
Yum.
So I actually wanted to talk to ya about upcoming noms if you haven't already decided/don't mind? xD

Karen O'Neil 11:33 pm
Of course I don't mind.
What's on your mind?

Ryouseiken 11:34 pm
Well I'm more-or-less curious where we stand and if I'm on your mind for nomming really. xD

Karen O'Neil 11:36 pm
Well, I have basically went through and considered all my options as far as nominations go. I didn't go into this HoH with any real targets or gunning for anyone so I've been brainstorming all day about this.

Ryouseiken 11:36 pm
Yeah I can imagine.

Karen O'Neil 11:36 pm
I feel like you and I have a bond and I love that.
You just seem so friendly, and I really like you as a person so nominating wouldn't benefit me at all really.

Karen O'Neil 11:38 pm
I guess my only problem is I don't really know where you stand in the game with other players.
That's my one and only concern.

Ryouseiken 11:39 pm
Aw, thanks Karen. I really like you too and I do appreciate that a lot. In terms of where I stand, well, I don't have anything solidified in terms of alliances and that much I can say with ease. It's kind of something that I took from my first two times playing./
Every time I alligned with a group of people I kept getting betrayed so I've just been kind of... winging it.

Karen O'Neil 11:40 pm
Awe, you're so nice though... how could people want to betray you?

Ryouseiken 11:42 pm
Well Evel Dick kind of found me irritating in S9, you could look in some of his DR entries and you'd see him talking plenty of shit. He double-crossed me when we had a deal.
S10... Dustin. *hiss*

Meh I just pick the wrong people to allign with, either that or I get a bit grating.

Ryouseiken 11:46 pm
I'll say this though in my defense. I know you're concerned over my bonds with other players but in terms of how I nominate I think about people who I like, and then the people who I don't talk to often and/or try to plot things against me. I agree with what you said, I feel we get along great and have something of a bond, so if I was to win the next head of household I would have no reason to nominate you. I wouldn't.

Karen O'Neil 11:50 pm
Awe that's so awesome, Parker.
So if I keep you safe then you'll keep me safe?

Ryouseiken 11:51 pm
Absolutely. You would have been safe if I won this one but this might work better since you won't be able to participate in the outgoing HoH. I'll be fighting hard.

Karen O'Neil 11:53 pm
Okay then, it's a deal. I think though, that we should consider an alliance. I mean, neither of us have any really solid allies.
What do you think?

Ryouseiken 11:54 pm
Really? You don't either? I mean you're really sweet so I would have expected quite a few offers to come your way... but I would definitely not mind an alliance at all. :-) To help keep each other safe and hear if someone's talking about the other.

Karen O'Neil 11:56 pm
Well, I'm a competition threat, did you observe my season at all?
I've already one two competitions. A PoV and now HoH
I don't know why people don't want to be my ally.
:-(

Ryouseiken 11:58 pm
Ohh I haven't observed many past seasons to be honest, that's why I was so worried the first round when most of the questions revolved around it. Looking at the history for your season now though and holy crap, nice. xD

Karen O'Neil 11:59 pm
Yeah, that's why I think no one really wants to allign with me.

Ryouseiken 12:00 am
Huh, I thought that would be a reason TO allign with someone... whatever the case I'm up for an alliance :-) Because I definitely trust you.

Karen O'Neil 12:01 am
Okay, do you have any ideas of who else we might be able to align with?

Ryouseiken 12:03 am
Hmm not entirely sure... what do you think of Drew?

Karen O'Neil 12:05 am
Well, we were in last season together and we were in an alliance last season.

Ryouseiken 12:06 am
He seems like a really nice guy. Of course the problem would be if people might catch on quick BECAUSE you two were together last season.

Karen O'Neil 12:07 am
People are already assuming that. LOL.
So what harm could it do?

Ryouseiken 12:08 am
xDD You think he'd be up for it?

Karen O'Neil 12:10 am
I don't see why not. From what I understand he's not in any alliance either.
but I think you should pitch the idea to him.

Ryouseiken 12:13 am
Hmm yeah I could do that. Should I say that you and I talked it over and we want to know if he'd like to join in as a third?

Karen O'Neil 12:18 am
yes, that's fine.
:-)

Ryouseiken 12:23 am
You mind if I do it later today? (Woulda said tomorrow but it's midnight already xD) I'm a bit on the tired side and I'd rather not say something silly or misinterpreted by accident y'know?

Karen O'Neil 12:24 am
No problem. If I'm not online just shoot me a PM.

So it's myself and Karen, possibly to include Drew in the future. I have to say I'm liking the position I'm in. I suck in terms of competitions but I don't even need to win 'em, a majority of people either trust me or like me enough to keep me around for X amount of time.

[Parker Somerville]

-Proceeds to impale myself on something sharp after the Veto Competition- So Porsche and I will be initial nominees... great, just great.

[Chenbot]

*hug*

[Parker Somerville]

So apparently Jason and Russell are in an alliance together? And they were throwing both myself and Joshuah under the bus to cover their own tracks? Oh ho ho... first off I have to say I love... looooooooooove my alliance this time; second, screw you Jason. I hope you enjoy the time you have left because you just earned yourself a one-way ticket outta here!
