Special Agent Briefings

[phillip]

Next vote I am subtly pushing for it to be Penner, but not too hard. I need to talk to the others and see what they wanna do, everyone seems pretty chill about it, I mean if I go home this time I died trying my fucking ass off, all I can say is I died trying. I told Penner it would be Chicken so as not to arouse his suspicion, and he still thinks im with him...I'm excited to snuff his torch and rub it in his face.

[phillip]

Chicken ended up going...I wasn't going to ruffle any feathers here, I was a little spoofed by a comment LJ made about "bringing Penner back in.

LJ-Zoe 

Hey peeps

whatsup  

I think Chicken is the way to go. Penner might reconsider and come back to us. 

Ummm....dude, why? We do not need Penner at all. Right now we have the votes locked up. LJ is trying to keep side deals with Penner, and that is not a good thing. This is something we have to keep in mind for later. I kinda wish it was Penner, Sherea and Mikayla were not here today to back me up at all, so there was only so much I could do.

I'm expecting them to want to target Bob next, Penner next would be preferable..I just want to stay alive, I made the jury, I made the merge, I acomplished my initial goal, now to make the end and win for the 4th  3rd time is my ultimate goal. In order to do it I'll need to plant subtle hints in people to make it happen. Malcolm and Jeremiah are the most important people for me to stay close to in order to pull this off

[phillip]

Ted Rogers

Dramatic confrontation between Penner and I:

Johnathan Penner (johnathanpenner) is available

Online: 1d 5h 9m



Johnathan Penner

So what are you thinking moving forward?



Ted Rogers

sticking with who I can trust and getting rid of people who after me basically



Johnathan Penner

Which you think I'm one of the people who are after you?



Ted Rogers

I dont have to think it



Johnathan Penner

Well I have eyes and I see when people tell me you want me out



Ted Rogers

You have wanted me out since long before that

after the Boston Rob vote as soon as we swapped

if I didnt take immunity u were going after me

u wanted me out when Chicken went last time

yet u act like we are bffs on AIM



Johnathan Penner

I'm not acting I'm just trying to conversate with you



Johnathan Penner

And who says I wanted you out last vote I wasn't even here...



Ted Rogers

I know



Johnathan Penner

And fyi I never through your name out to begin with



Ted Rogers

you don't think people tell me lol

LOL!!!!!

just stop



Johnathan Penner

If that's the game you'd like to play I'm up for it.



Ted Rogers

I saw it all



Johnathan Penner

I'm glad you did

I'd like to see it also...



Ted Rogers

u can stop being fake

I have had like 3 people tell me now



Johnathan Penner

I'm not fake in the least. I'm not the only who knows you're a threat..



Ted Rogers

we were fine I wanted to work with you, trusted you after the Boston Rob thing

seemed you had my back



Ted Rogers

and you tried to screw me very first chance you get

I don't get it but thats your choice

I guess you just went with Boston Rob because it was the majority



Johnathan Penner

If I wanted to screw you Phillip I could have already

Especially when several people brought up your name.



Ted Rogers

I know if you had your way id be gone right now

fortunately I took the immunity first



Ted Rogers

so if I shoulnt vote for you, who should I vote for?



Johnathan Penner

I really couldn't tell you who to vote for its something you have to decide. If your best bet is to target me then idk



Ted Rogers

well you dont really give me a compelling reason to vote anyone else



Johnathan Penner

Because I don't know where you are in this game you could be aligned with everyone and the moment I say a name you might run back and tell them



Ted Rogers

I would have been with you, we were very close after the BR vote or so I thought



Johnathan Penner

We were and just because people brought your name up because they know your a threat, I get all the blame? That's fine just know those 5 people you're with are not going to let you make finals



Ted Rogers

I saw the chats dude

I saw what you said

You won't take me to the end either



Johnathan Penner

Refresh my memory because I'm sure I wasn't the only person targeting you



Ted Rogers

No for the same reason you gave me, you will just run back to them

just know that I know

so there is no real reason for us to talk about the game anymore cause it wont go anywhere



Johnathan Penner

I would be stupid to run back to anyone at this point especially if I'm willing to work something out with you. That would put an even bigger target on my back



Ted Rogers

if you can't give me a reason to vote anyone else there is nothing I can do

the only person I know for a fact was after me is you



Johnathan Penner

Then you're surely mistaken and misinformed



Ted Rogers

Nope :-)



Johnathan Penner

I'm not going to be the guy that throws out names but trust me I'm not the only one



Ted Rogers

there is nothing for us to talk about then

ur gonna target me like you were gonna anyway

and that's that



Johnathan Penner

Seems like you want me to target you if you're going to put it like that..



Johnathan Penner (johnathanpenner) is available  [ /spoiler ]

[phillip]

Bob gave me a little more information than he should have in his fit of desperation. He told me who he is least connected with (Malcolm-Sherea-Mikayla, main allies) and essentially an order of his preferences, Morgan is his number 1 girl, followed by Penner, then Allie, Jeremiah and LJ.



Ted Rogers
Oh good thing I took immunity
was that Penner's idea?

Bob Crowley
Haha yeah. Good on ya. (Y)
Jeremiah and Penner both approached me at the same time
so I'm not sure who started it

Ted Rogers
any idea how we can continue forward from this:-P

Bob Crowley
So I have a question for you

Ted Rogers
yea?

Bob Crowley
Can we start on a clean slate? I don't know, I think we've been on opposite sides, but I was wondering if we can start fresh? I mean my #1 ally has been voted out so I'm kind of a free agent here.

Ted Rogers
Yes!
Im sure u know if u weren't sent away they would have targeted you over Chicken

Bob Crowley
Amen
I knew that

Ted Rogers
Im sure you had soooo many friends like me;-)

Bob Crowley
lol

Ted Rogers
If I had some more time I would have found more of them but didnt have the time

Bob Crowley
I literally posted "Vote for me" in my college facebook group and I got all the voes there
votes

Ted Rogers
oh thats a great strategy who knew , College and ORGs usually conflict

Bob Crowley
Haha yep
Anyways, so I can only tell you that I have Morgan as a vote..and that's it lol
I had Chicken and Morgan
but now just Morgan
I have no idea where Allie stands
and the rest are Napaco
I assume you don't want to work with Penner?

Ted Rogers
Penner is gonna need to come clean to me
then I might consider it

Bob Crowley
Well let's hope he does. I won't push him to come clean to you.
What about Jeremiah
or LJ. I haven't even spoken a word to Malcolm, Mikayla
a little convo with Sherea

Ted Rogers
I'm gonna have a chat with Penner and see where his head is at

Bob Crowley
Alright. Let him know we talked.
Because I'll be honest, I'll be a vote with you if we can work together

Ted Rogers
I know Morgan and Penner are at odds with each other
so me and morgan working with Penner seems unlikely

Bob Crowley
What else do you propose?


Ted Rogers
Not sure yet, I'm sure Penner won't be immune, so he will always be an option

Bob Crowley
Alright I mean if the only way I'll survive is if Penner goes, then so be it.

Ted Rogers
He's probably the most likely target after you, if he wasn't trying to kill me for the past 3 votes....

Bob Crowley
Guess so. But what happens after Penner goes?

Ted Rogers
absolutely no idea

Bob Crowley
hehe

Bob Crowley (bobcrowley1crowley) is available
Let it go. Let it go. 10d and 0h ago




I used this information and solidified a F2 deal with Malcolm. This way we have a clear target and enemies to take out once the game gets to all Napaco, or close to it. Secret Agent Phillip also made an alliance with the opposing side (LJ-Jeremiah-Allie) to keep them in check...and I told Malcolm about it in case they try to use it against me. I need to keep myself covered on all bases just in case people talk and think I am making alliances with everyone, and I sort of am...but anyway!

SPOILER: Click to show

Malcolm (MrJohnnyW) is available
Online: 9m

Ted Rogers
Hey!

Malcolm
Hey

Ted Rogers
Bob spilling his guts:-X

Malcolm
Is he?

Ted Rogers
he's trying to pull me in with Allie-Morgan-Penner and him
Bob Crowley
:-P Haha yep
Anyways, so I can only tell you that I have Morgan as a vote..and that's it lol
I had Chicken and Morgan
but now just Morgan
I have no idea where Allie stands
and the rest are Napaco
I assume you don't want to work with Penner?


Ted Rogers
Penner is gonna need to come clean to me
then I might consider it



Bob Crowley
Well let's hope he does. I won't push him to come clean to you.
What about Jeremiah
or LJ. I haven't even spoken a word to Malcolm, Mikayla
a little convo with Sherea

Malcolm
Wow he's very desperate haha

Ted Rogers
Yes, but he confirmed my suspicions:-X
Morgan and Bob are together

Malcolm
I knew that 100%
Morgan is with Bob, but she hates Penner

Ted Rogers
and Bob is with Penner
making Bob the middleman there
we gotta get him out:-X

Malcolm
But Morgan was with Chicken, so they were closer. And Morgan and Chicken voted for Penner last round, so there's definitely a rift

Ted Rogers
Penner voted for you
he told me it was a bootlist vote

Ted Rogers
I wanted to talk to you, about much more long term

Malcolm
Ok

Ted Rogers
Something occured to me yesterday
In the groupchat we had
LJ said something that seemed odd

Malcolm
What?

Ted Rogers
LJ-Zoe
Hey peeps
whatsup
I think Chicken is the way to go. Penner might reconsider and come back to us.
why would we need Penner to reconsider?

Ted Rogers
when we have the numbers without him? and why would we trust him again?

Malcolm
I find LJ plays the game too hard, and wants to be in good with everyone

Ted Rogers
then I realized, when Penner had won that individual immunity, he sent LJ to the other tribe to be safe

Malcolm
LJ literally has an in with everyone

Ted Rogers
yea, he also blindsided Whitney
with Jeremiah
which none of us understand
still

Malcolm
Ya, I thought that was really weird timing for that move
Because I also found Whitney a little shady, but that was way too soon

Ted Rogers
Yea, were it not for this Joint TC twist thing

Ted Rogers
that move really could have screwed us up, we got lucky

Malcolm
Also he was super shady at the last TC we went to deciding between Allie and Yve to vote out
He pushed so hard to save Allie, it was shady as fuck

Ted Rogers
yes, he's with her
and if u see what Bob said
he mentioned Jeremiah and LJ as potential people to work with
not you, Mikayla or Sherea

Malcolm
This doesn't leave us, but I know LJ is close with Bob and Penner
I think he is closer to us though, but I definitely know they're working him

Ted Rogers
K, this is gonna get real interesting real quick:-P , at this point I wanna go all the way to the end with you, ill probably be blindsided long before then cause people want me dead every round lol, but you're the only one I can feel I trust 100%

Malcolm
Thanks man, I feel I can trust you 100% too. I agree shits gonna get real. You'll find out soon LJ is crazy paranoid, and goes nuts at Tribal Councils

Ted Rogers
I think Mikayla and Sherea, have been pretty consistent and trustworthy so far and have the least ties with the other side, we should definitely work closely with them
LJ and Jeremiah...well especially LJ, we gotta watch

Malcolm
I keep LJ on a tight leash, so he shouldn't be a problem
I agree with Mikayla and Sherea, the only annoying thing with them is that they're often hard to reach since they're playing alias accounts

Ted Rogers
I know they are never on

Ted Rogers
I know LJ is not gonna want Allie out
he was ok with it being Bob though right?

Malcolm
Ya, he really wants Bob out
He thinks Bob is his biggest threat
Just for the challenge make sure you only target Bob/Penner/Allie/Morgan
Or if you want to make them think you're with them, target me

Ted Rogers
Ok Bob is perfect honestly
if Bob goes, we can probably get Penner next no prob cause of Morgan
and then, we can work on breaking up the LJ/Allie thing

Malcolm
Exactly, but we can't let Allie get too far
We may just have to blindside LJ, similar to the Ozzy/Amanda in Micronesia

Ted Rogers
OMG

Ted Rogers
yea if it was LJ after Bob, it'd be tough to pull off

Malcolm
No i meant blindside him with the Allie vote
Ya, its WAY too soon to consider a huge move like that
Plus he's really loyal

Ted Rogers
oh yea so like Final 8

Malcolm
Maybe, I think our next three targets have to be Bob, Penner and Allie

Ted Rogers
if we can get Jeremiah to vote Allie at that point
then we'd have it
he might think LJ is closer to her then he is with LJ
which is probably true

Malcolm
Who Jeremiah?

Malcolm
I also think that if Bob wins Immunity we should maybe target Allie before Penner

Ted Rogers
Oh Bob can't win immunity

Malcolm
But nevermind, there's no way he's winning

Ted Rogers
we will all throw rocks in his bag

Malcolm
Ya exactly

Ted Rogers
lol yea

Ted Rogers
we might be able to pull this off

Malcolm
Pull what off?

Ted Rogers
this game :-)

Ted Rogers
I don't want to jinx anything though\

Malcolm
Haha, i definitely think we have a great shot

Malcolm (MrJohnnyW) is available
Ted Rogers
you here?

Malcolm
Yep

Ted Rogers
Jeremiah-LJ sort of made an alliance with me
just today

Malcolm
Interesting

Ted Rogers
so I think the paranoia is setting in already
yea I agree
Penner tried to come with a deal too.......

Malcolm
Clearly
What was his deal?

Ted Rogers
Ted Rogers
so if I shoulnt vote for you, who should I vote for?


Johnathan Penner
I really couldn't tell you who to vote for its something you have to decide. If your best bet is to target me then idk



Ted Rogers
well you dont really give me a compelling reason to vote anyone else
He wants me to tell him a name
and he knows Bob told me he was after me...so he kinda knows he's in hot water

Malcolm
Ya, they're definitely after you

Ted Rogers
they campaigning to you right now?

Malcolm
Nope

Ted Rogers
im sure they will lol

Malcolm
I doubt it, I think they've focused their campaign on you three

Ted Rogers
you three?

Malcolm
You, LJ and Jeremiah

Ted Rogers
OHHHHH
yea
they will want LJ and Jeremiah to come after me

Ted Rogers
oh
guess what!

Malcolm
What?

Ted Rogers
LJ-Zoe
Talk to Allie! I think that would be good too!
*facepalm*

Malcolm
Wow

Ted Rogers
ikr?
so right now it is..supposedly
Jeremiah-LJ-Allie and me

Malcolm
That's annoying

Ted Rogers
he's want's Bob and Penner to go first, I'm didnt ask beyond that yet

Ted Rogers
Yea, the game has begun:-X

Malcolm
Clearly

Ted Rogers
do you watch Ponderosa videos?

Malcolm
Yep

Ted Rogers
just saw a few of them
this season has been the most unpredictable one I think out of the whole series
I guess we have Tony to thank for that

Malcolm
I know, it's been really good

Ted Rogers
I know, im wondering when the super idol expires?

Malcolm
Probably at final 5

Ted Rogers
so Tony is basically safe to F4

[phillip]

Bob went as planed, now I have 2 secret agent alliances going on at the same time:


Jeremiah-LJ-Allie and Phillip


Phillip-Sherea-Malcolm-Mikayla


Morgan ( a free agent so to speak)

Penner ( the clear outsider)


Since I told Malcolm about the alliance I have with the others and made an F2 with him, i think he will trust me and not try to use it against me. It's not like LJ-Jeremiah and Allie are reaching out to him anyway. I'm playing all sides right now which is aggresive but in my position I really have no choice. I almost went home twice pre-merge already and I just want to fight to make the end again to shove it in Boston Rob and Penner's face. I didn't really care as much prior to their relentless efforts to kill me, in a strange way it invigorated me and made me wanna play even harder.


Tonight seems to be a Live Auction and TC, which makes it a HUGELY important event. The immunity will be somewhat random, if Penner gets it, likely Morgan will go because LJ will want to protect Allie. We also don't have the time or power to organize a back up a plan, it would need to be in place before the live TC because not everyone is going to make it. I'm gonna try to make sure everyone bootlists Penner and either Morgan/Allie as a back up so tonight doesn't turn into a disaster.

[phillip]

Last Night was a drama fest! Everything pretty much worked out perfectly too! 

Here's a breakdown. I got arguably the best prize out of everyone, and it seems that LJ got the dummy item unless he doctored a screenshot. His other screenshot was not doctored, but you never can know.  LJ also wasted his idol like a total numbskull, which means he is vulnerable right now in the Teams portion of this game. This is absolutely phenominal. Much of the reason for all the drama was Malcolm pushing for Allie to go home over Penner, and I was kind of shocked at first at how LJ and Jeremiah so easily folded to this decision. But LJ was agreeing to trade Penner his own idol for a Penner's prize only for the purpose of figuring out LJ's prize, which was a nullify vote.  Then LJ went on a campaign to take out Penner first instead of Allie, as I originally expected he was going to do. This infuriated Malcolm and Sherea, which ensured our 4 Person alliance of:

Now to make matters even better, with Sherea having the double vote, and Myself earning that FUCKING TRIPLE THREAT, we have total control of voting numbers, we no longer need Morgan as a swing vote. However, Sherea WILL need Morgan's vote along with her double to take down either Allie or Jeremiah on the other tribe, and how hilarious would it be if Jeremiah is voted out of his own Team? 

This is the kind of shit I live for when I play these games! I am going to still try and kiss LJ's ass for now on the off chance he actually has an idol, so should he play it, he would idol Malcolm and NOT me? I'd hate to waste a nullify vote in this situation, and but the fact is as long as LJ is actually an idol, as long as he is voting someone that is NOT ME, it doesn't matter.

If... One of Jeremiah, Allie or LJ go home this vote, and I believe one of them will:

7th: Jeremiah/Allie/LJ

6th: Jeremiah/Allie/LJ

5th: Malcolm ( Shocker, I know Mikayla and Sherea will pressure me to do this, and its probably the correct play for my game)

4th: Morgan

Final 3: Mikayla-Sherea and Phillip, and if its Final 2 lol...fuck my life!

I can't believe though I am actually in position to make the finals truthfully, all I really need to do is next vote play both my Double and the Nullify with Mikayla and Sherea, that guarantees us making it through, even if Malcolm wants to make some kind of move. Final 6, if Sherea still possesses her double vote, we have the majority there as well. Then Final 5 we no longer need any gimmicks.

[phillip]

LJ winning, in a very odd way, may actually benefit me in the game. It gives Morgan more incentive to take out Allie knowing that LJ is definitely staying in the game, and I think Morgan will pull through with Sherea and her double vote to make it happen. I chose to use the nullifier to ensure my safety because I would be out in the event of a tie due to my many past votes, I have 100% faith in Mikayla to vote with me so it's my best play. I don't need the nullifier in the future so it might be the best play to make to 100% ensure my safety through this vote. Also, LJ staying gives Sherea someone to go after and ignore the whole "Phillip is such a huge threat" thing.

Next time, a group of 3 plus a double vote has the numbers, if Mikayla/Sherea and I stick together, we can take anyone out we want. The likely culprit then would be LJ...but I actually have a different plan. I am choosing to keep you in suspense for now, but don't worry, it won't be boring!

[phillip]

I apologize for my outburst in the groupchat, it's just a frustrating situation for me. I am working the night shift tonight, so I cannot do the challenge now...and tomorrow I am taking my Mom out to dinner for Mother's day in the afternoon, so I was gonna sleep when I got home, then do that, and then I'd have 0 time left to do the challenge.


Now I am in a position where if I dont do the challenge I am almost guaranteed to go home. It's so easy to justify voting me off over anyone else and I can't depend on Mikayla/Sherea to win it and protect me. Rupert said in BvW "I love Survivor, but I love my wife more". Unfortunately I am going to have to say "I love my Mom, but I love Survivor more". I plan on doing a respectable amount of time when I get home from work, I will be fucking exhausted for my Mom's mother day, but that's the price I am forced to pay for this game, it is really important to me to make the end of this and keep my Phillip record intact.


This whole twist also destroys the usage of my Double Vote, it has now essentially become worthless with an odd number of voters at the Final 6/5, a double vote only functions well as a tiebreaker. Yet another reason why I hate this twist.


I can't really make a plan until I know the results, all I can do is my best to guarantee my own safety and play it from there. Of the 3 voting, 2 make a majority, so I may not have much say, I can double vote and make a tie, but I don't think that would matter?

[phillip]

Winning immunity was crucial here, as me Mikayla and Sherea all being in the bottom would have been the end of our game, most likely mine. The plan is to vote off Jeremiah, I wanted to make Morgan vote Jeremiah with us, but she is gonna vote Mikayla apparently, which doesnt make any sense for her game. Maybe she is still mad at Mikayla from the public confessionals earlier in the game. At any rate, it doesn't really matter, I am worried Morgan may have the idol from the auction, it is still a total unknown what she may be packing, which is going to make the Final 5 vote very scary.

[phillip]

Morgan sucks and is voting for Mikaela, so now I have to vote for Jeremiah.

[phillip]

Well Morgan is making a public plea to get rid of me, so my options are kind of limited. If it is the last time to play the idol, and she has it, I am done for, there is nothing I can do really but try to convince LJ to vote for Mikayla so in the event of Morgan plays the idol it's a tie between myself and Mikayla. That could end up backfiring if Mikayla hears and wants to vote me with LJ and Morgan however. So my best hope overall is probably to just vote for Morgan and hope Sherea and Mikayla stay true to their word.
