My Opening Conversation with Jeff (Sorry about the time stamps)
Jrdoodle33: Hi Roddy! Just thought I would send you a message so we could maybe get to know each other.
King Jamesth: hey! hows it going?
King Jamesth: and sorry, I am not sure exactly who you are
Jrdoodle33 (10:32:34 PM): I am Jeff from the game and it's no worries. I am doing great, how is it going with you?
King Jamesth (10:33:56 PM): I'm doing awesome, just writing my first confesh actually.
King Jamesth (10:34:01 PM): Looking forward to tomorrow
Jrdoodle33 (10:36:52 PM): I am thinking of writing a confessional soon too. I just want to get to know some people first. I am looking forward to tomorrow too it should be fun.
King Jamesth (10:37:48 PM): yeah I dont have much to say really. I am just writing for the hell of it
King Jamesth (10:38:36 PM): It will be interesting to see if people start playing hard right away
Jrdoodle33 (10:39:36 PM): That is a good idea, I hope you don't mind if I copy you but I should do one too, a confessional. Yeah I wonder if people will play hard at first. It's always something that seems to happen though.
King Jamesth (10:44:06 PM): lol no worries, I would never tell people not to write a confessional... dont think Chelsbot would like it very much if I did that
King Jamesth (10:44:16 PM): but yeah I think a few people are gonna go really hard
Jrdoodle33 (10:51:14 PM): Which players do you think are going to play really hard? I promise not to tell, if you don't want to put trust in me right now I would completely understand.
King Jamesth (10:52:37 PM): lol, well I have only talked to you Chiara and Renny. So it is pure speculation really if I were to say anything.
King Jamesth (10:52:51 PM): But I would hope that the person who picked Russ would try to win lol
King Jamesth (10:53:22 PM): I am just adding the other people now
King Jamesth (10:56:36 PM): lol am I behind on that btw? if you don't mind me asking?
Jrdoodle33 (11:02:39 PM): Oh okay that is fine thanks for updating me on what is happening in the game, I went to do dishes and just came back now so sorry for not responding right when you typed it. What do you mean are you behind? What do you feel you're behind on and you think Russell is being targeted?
King Jamesth (11:03:34 PM): no I was makinga joke about the Russell thing
King Jamesth (11:03:43 PM): Just based on how he was on the show in BB11
Jrdoodle33 (11:04:07 PM): Oh yes! Technotronics.
King Jamesth (11:04:09 PM): and I just kinda felt behind because a lot of people messaged me at once, and I hadnt even seen the memory wall post yet
King Jamesth (11:04:37 PM): but its all good
Jrdoodle33 (11:04:42 PM): No I don't think you're behind to be honest.
Jrdoodle33 (11:04:46 PM): How are you liking the cast?
King Jamesth (11:08:15 PM): well I am not too sure yet. Still figuring things out. Alex seems alright.
King Jamesth (11:08:44 PM): and Chiara and I talked a little too. But she had to go to bed pretty fast
Jrdoodle33 (11:09:54 PM): Yeah I think Chiara has school and yeah Alex seems cool. What did you think of Renny?
King Jamesth (11:10:23 PM): ummm, hard to get a read on. Not too talkative I dont think
Jrdoodle33 (11:11:12 PM): Yeah she talked some to me about the Killers. Now I am addicted to them. By the way, I am sorry if I talk too much, I probably will get annoying if I haven't already. Just don't want to be.
King Jamesth (11:13:01 PM): Lol no I am just a kinda quieter person, you are not annoying me. I am glad to have someone who can maintain a conversation to be honest. I dont really feel like many people have been very good at that so far
Jrdoodle33 (11:13:52 PM): Yeah I don't think a lot of people like to talk like you said. It just makes the game so much more boring. So I thank you for putting up with me being chatty and holding the conversation as well. You get an A+!
King Jamesth (11:16:36 PM): Glad to hear that! I hate when people only give you one word responses. Makes for the worst conversations.
King Jamesth (11:18:05 PM): So have you had a chance to talk to many other people?
Jrdoodle33 (11:18:23 PM): Yeah and it's also hard to trust them in the game because you have no idea where their head is at. I have talked to Lydia, Alex, Jordan, Chima, Russell, Renny and Chiara.
King Jamesth (11:19:15 PM): Damn I am just not very good at holding tons of conversations at once.
Jrdoodle33 (11:19:38 PM): I have talked to them yesterday though and today so it was spread out. I am only talking to you currently right now and Jase.
King Jamesth (11:24:33 PM): ok, so you asked earlier about who is gonna try for the challenge. I'll be honest I am probably gonna gun for the HoH challenge tomorrow.
King Jamesth (11:25:00 PM): I don't really have any clue what anyone else is doing
King Jamesth (11:25:03 PM): but I know that lol
Jrdoodle33 (11:25:10 PM): I am going to try my hardest for it also.
Jrdoodle33 (11:25:19 PM): Hopefully one of us could win it, that could be cool.
King Jamesth (11:26:10 PM): yeah, it would be. I dunno, I dont think that a lot of people are really gonna be willing to put themselves out there. I think it will come down to a few people really trying.
Jrdoodle33 (11:26:51 PM): Yeah it probably only will be a few people and to be honest with you. You seem like the only person who actually likes to talk other than me it's such a relief.
King Jamesth (11:27:51 PM): yeah I am getting the same feeling. A lot of these people don't really engage in the convo.
King Jamesth (11:28:00 PM): Monica especially lol
Jrdoodle33 (11:31:55 PM): Yeah Monica I think is pretty slow to be honest. Thanks for engaging into the conversation and keeping it going it means a lot.
King Jamesth (11:34:13 PM): likewise. I think Chiara seems alright, from the little bit that I talked to her.
Jrdoodle33 (11:36:00 PM): Yeah I like her too. You're growing to easily be my favorite you seem like someone I could tell anything and I would never have to worry about it going anywhere.
King Jamesth (11:38:40 PM): lol same here. I will be honest, I know the goal of these things is to win and all, but I am bot reallt the type taht would want to go to the end with a bunch of stupid people just because I thought I would beat them in final 2. Where is the fun in that?
Jrdoodle33 (11:39:14 PM): Yeah I agree with you there is no fun in that at all, are you hinting that we should maybe work together?
King Jamesth (11:40:08 PM): I dunno, Im just sayin' lol... but yeah I think that I am getting much better vibes from you than from other people
Jrdoodle33 (11:40:36 PM): Oh your I dunno, makes me seem like I thought wrong, I am sorry. I am getter better vibes from you too.
King Jamesth (11:40:49 PM): no you didnt think wrong
King Jamesth (11:40:55 PM): I am just kinda sarcastic
King Jamesth (11:41:03 PM): and it doesnt always translate into IMs
Jrdoodle33 (11:41:33 PM): True, I can be sarcastic too so if you would like to work together that would be cool with me but of course it's fine if you decided not to.
King Jamesth (11:43:30 PM): I would be down for working together. I wouldnt be surprised if the HoH might be one where people can help eachother
King Jamesth (11:45:39 PM): and combine that with the fact that a bunch of people might throw it...
Jrdoodle33 (11:47:25 PM): Yeah so I don't think we would go home this week anyways, I'd be down with working together also.
King Jamesth (11:53:16 PM): so do you work/ go to school or anything?
Jrdoodle33 (11:53:56 PM): I am an accountant, how about you?
King Jamesth (11:54:45 PM): A student and a waiter. Finishing school this year though.
King Jamesth (11:55:00 PM): and then god knows what...
Jrdoodle33 (11:55:35 PM): Yeah true, there are a lot of opportunities out there man. Just hope the economy gets better and is it hard to get both done? Meaning school and work?
King Jamesth (11:57:04 PM): ummmm, kinda. I actually have two part time jobs at different restaurants. But it is not so bad because I am part time student meaning the workload isn't as heavy.
King Jamesth (11:57:20 PM): So I end up being busy, but I just have to mange my time appropriately and Im fine
Jrdoodle33 (11:58:17 PM): You sound like you have your life all organized which is good. Plus you're someone who doesn't bore me to death. So yes!
King Jamesth (11:59:47 PM): yeah good conversation might be slim pickings with these houseguests lol. I think that I will get along decently with some of these people, but I dunno.
King Jamesth (12:00:32 AM): Everyone ends up being so cautious and fake in the beginning of bb games
Jrdoodle33 (12:02:27 AM): Yeah I am just being myself that's all I can be. True colors will begin to show with the fake people.
King Jamesth (12:05:10 AM): Im glad you are, because I am too and we probably wouldnt have connected with eachother if one of us was putting on a facade
Jrdoodle33 (12:05:56 AM): That is very true. I am just glad I already found someone I can talk to about anything.
King Jamesth (12:07:11 AM): yeah me too. I dont think I could play this game without someone to hear my running commentary. I'd go crazy
Jrdoodle33 (12:07:50 AM): I would go nuts too. So if I ever have anything I feel at the moment I will come to you and tell you about it, so please don't get annoyed and be warned because I trusted you so that is why.
King Jamesth (12:10:00 AM): ok cool. I am a pretty laid back person, I don't get ruffled very easily. Don't worry about annoying me. Because I will tell you if you are.
Jrdoodle33 (12:10:28 AM): That sounds good with me, thanks for being a sane person who I can chat with and now we're working together, todays been awesome .
King Jamesth (12:11:00 AM): yeah
King Jamesth (12:11:30 AM): ok so have you looked at the last seasons at all?
Jrdoodle33 (12:13:27 AM): Yeah I have brushed through them. What are you thinking?
King Jamesth (12:14:18 AM): just that there is usually some sort of secret power in the house.
King Jamesth (12:14:26 AM): and I think that if you win some of the early competitions
King Jamesth (12:14:44 AM): you are potentially able to get them
Jrdoodle33 (12:15:09 AM): Really? Then that means we must win them, I wouldn't want some of the others winning the powers.
King Jamesth (12:16:49 AM): yeah, I basically read the season 2 episodes. and I kinda glanced at season 1. But the common theme about the people getting the powers was that they had won a competition and gained access to a secret room which contained their power, where but they would have to crack a bunch of codes and stuff.
King Jamesth (12:17:30 AM): so yeah I think these first competitions will be important in some way
Jrdoodle33 (12:18:40 AM): We can work together to make sure we win them, if you wanna do that? I trust you.
King Jamesth (12:19:23 AM): yeah I think it would be a good idea.
King Jamesth (12:19:28 AM): could have a big impact later on
Jrdoodle33 (12:20:14 AM): I agree with you. I will enjoy working with you. Someone I can talk to, it's nice. I appreciate it, man.
King Jamesth (12:23:20 AM): yeah same here. Glad I have someone who has a head on their shoulders to bounce ideas together. 2 person alliances always end up being the most important in these games IMO.
Jrdoodle33 (12:31:29 AM): Yeah I agree with you. It's easier to talk to the other person without worrying about everyone else in the game being okay with it. We just need to worry about ourselves and usually I don't like getting threats out early but don't you think it would benefit us?
King Jamesth (12:34:06 AM): well, I dunno, I kinda go on a case by case scenario. Because some threats are better to keep around just for the sake of keeping another target in the house.
Jrdoodle33 (12:34:45 AM): True but somewhere later down in the game they are like the only people who could take us out.
King Jamesth (12:36:30 AM): yeah I agree with you on that. I haven't played many ORGs before, but I have been burned by decideing not to take out the biggest threat.
King Jamesth (12:36:53 AM): So I dont plan on letting that happen again
Jrdoodle33 (12:37:32 AM): I agree it shouldn't happen. So you think us taking out the biggest threat will help us out? I think so. Just got to make sure we win that Head of Household and Power of Veto.
King Jamesth (12:38:40 AM): what is your take on Alex? I think he is gonna be a social player... but Im not really that sure
Jrdoodle33 (12:39:26 AM): I agree he is going to be a strong social player and someone to watch out for.
Jrdoodle33 (12:40:30 AM): Do you agree?
King Jamesth (12:42:16 AM): yeah I do. He seems like the strongest player I have talked to other than you. Mind you taht is like 4 people only, but still
Jrdoodle33 (12:44:20 AM): You think I will be a strong player?
King Jamesth (12:45:01 AM): lol you better be because I've made up my mind
King Jamesth (12:45:26 AM): but yeah I think the two of us will make a very good team
Jrdoodle33 (12:46:01 AM): You seem like a strong player too, we just need to make sure that since we're both strong we get the strong people out.
Jrdoodle33 (12:46:07 AM): So we can rule the house.
King Jamesth (12:49:20 AM): Do you think it would be better to have two strong people on the block? or one weak and one strong in an effort not to make an enemy
King Jamesth (12:49:38 AM): I mean, i know this is kinda getting ahead of things lol
King Jamesth (12:50:18 AM): But Im just interested, because its usually a tough deciesion when it comes up
Jrdoodle33 (12:50:49 AM): Sorry just responding now, didn't see this. I really to be honest would eel comfortable putting up two strong people. I am pretty good at competitions, are you?
Jrdoodle33 (12:52:59 AM): feel
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:41:55 AM)
King Jamesth (12:53:43 AM): I like to have time to think things over
Jrdoodle33 (12:54:15 AM): Yeah I am not a fan of live competitions either. If you won the Head of Household you know the main people who will be kissing your ass and then maybe you could see what to do from there?
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:03:09 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (12:56:24 AM): Back, sorry about that.
King Jamesth (12:56:56 AM): its all good. btw, I am quite often signed in under invis if you need to leave me a message or something
Jrdoodle33 is available (12:57:10 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (12:57:32 AM): That is good to know incase I need you thanks for warning me.
Jrdoodle33 is available (12:57:57 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (12:59:09 AM): I love how we're just observing the ongoings in the chat room.
King Jamesth (12:59:21 AM): yeah I know. I never really participate in those things
King Jamesth (12:59:29 AM): I find them so mundane
Jrdoodle33 (1:00:45 AM): Yeah I am not really into them either. Also for the Head of Household competition to make sure the power is in our hands would you like maybe working together over IM? That would probably be the best way to maintain a win.
King Jamesth (1:01:01 AM): yeah for sure
King Jamesth (1:01:58 AM): I dont think many people will be considering working with other people right now. Very early still
Jrdoodle33 (1:02:16 AM): Yeah I think people will create big alliances, right now.
Jrdoodle33 (1:02:33 AM): Who do you find the biggest threats in the chat? I'd say Alex and I don't know on the other.
King Jamesth (1:03:30 AM): yeah Alex is gonna try and join up with the ladies for sure
King Jamesth (1:03:32 AM): I think
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:43:41 AM)
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:25:17 AM)
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:16:01 AM)
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:07:50 AM)
King Jamesth (1:07:57 AM): yeah I think so too.
King Jamesth (1:08:05 AM): but I have no idea what the lines will be
King Jamesth (1:08:21 AM): the people in the convo don't seem super smart lol
Jrdoodle33 (1:08:44 AM): I know the definitely don't.
Jrdoodle33 (1:09:02 AM): It could be to our advantage though if we aligned with some dumb people.
Jrdoodle33 (1:10:15 AM): Not saying them of course.
King Jamesth (1:10:17 AM): I generally try to stay away from aligning with dumb people because they self destruct.
King Jamesth (1:10:19 AM): yeah
King Jamesth (1:10:32 AM): If the dumb person is loyal then I would do it
Jrdoodle33 (1:11:13 AM): Yeah that is a good point you have there.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:13:04 AM)
King Jamesth (1:13:40 AM): Well I basically would be willing to work with most people to some degree or another. Lets just make sure we always remember that you and I have to come first over anyone else and then we should be set.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:13:46 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:14:13 AM): Yeah I agree with you, we need to come first out of everyone and we need to take out threats in this game.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:14:40 AM)
King Jamesth (1:16:02 AM): So you know how you can kinda divide people into social/strategic/physical threats? I think we should definitely gun for a social threat this week.
King Jamesth (1:16:47 AM): because others will start to target comp threats automatically later on.
Jrdoodle33 (1:17:15 AM): Yeah I agree I think the social threats right now are Renny and Alex.
Jrdoodle33 (1:17:22 AM): Of course us, but we're not going anywhere.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:18:53 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:20:55 AM): Roddy, I have some news I need to tell you.
King Jamesth (1:21:05 AM): alright?
Jrdoodle33 (1:21:34 AM): So an alliance is trying to form right now and they are looking to add one more player into the mix, I think I am going to mention you if you're cool with it.
King Jamesth (1:21:47 AM): ok
Jrdoodle33 (1:21:49 AM): The people who invited me were Chiara, Holly and now Lydia and I are in it.
King Jamesth (1:21:50 AM): that sounds good
King Jamesth (1:22:08 AM): oh good I am talking to Lyd right now
Jrdoodle33 (1:22:10 AM): So would it be cool if we worked with those girls. I think it'd be okay because we could get out whoever we wanted.
King Jamesth (1:23:06 AM): yeah they seem alright.
King Jamesth (1:23:31 AM): and Holly is the only one I havent really talked to yet from that group
Jrdoodle33 (1:23:58 AM): Yeah I talked to her sometimes. So I guess we should make it official right now?
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:24:30 AM)
King Jamesth (1:26:00 AM): yeah I'm down
Jrdoodle33 (1:26:10 AM): We're going to rock this game.
King Jamesth (1:28:32 AM): yeah this is lookin good.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:33:34 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:33:52 AM): I really like this alliance, and think if it gets down to us 5 we will dominate.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:36:11 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:36:51 AM): Meaning us two.
King Jamesth (1:37:03 AM): Yeah I totally agree with that.
King Jamesth (1:37:25 AM): We just need to work those girls throughout the game though
Jrdoodle33 (1:37:53 AM): Yeah I think we both have strong social and strategic games, wouldn't you agree? I think we could control them easily.
King Jamesth (1:38:52 AM): yeah but we need to watch them closely... because if one of them is particularly strong then they might rally behind her
King Jamesth (1:39:00 AM): But I think we are good for the short term with thewe 3
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:39:04 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:39:34 AM): I think so too, we'll see how everyone matches up in the competition.
Jrdoodle33 (1:39:52 AM): I am just observing the chats trying to see who are the social threats so we know who to target if we win Head of Household.
Jrdoodle33 (1:40:24 AM): So far I would say the social threats are Renny, and Alex.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:41:24 AM)
King Jamesth (1:42:23 AM): hmmm, cant really comment yet... Renny and Alex are really the only people that I have had a good convo with outside of our alliance
Jrdoodle33 (1:43:00 AM): Are those the kinds of people you would like to target? I agree on you with going after social players because they're the only people who could sway our people to go with them.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:43:26 AM)
King Jamesth (1:43:41 AM): yeah, I would want to target that type of person
King Jamesth (1:44:22 AM): I dont want them to have enough time to get inside any of the girls' heads
Jrdoodle33 (1:44:27 AM): Great we are on the same page then. We could continue to talk to people maybe and then rank them and the top two are the people we would target.
Jrdoodle33 (1:44:31 AM): Me either.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:46:36 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (2:03:46 AM): You have a good feeling on them?
Jrdoodle33 (2:03:52 AM): I think I do so far.
King Jamesth (2:04:28 AM): I have a pretty good feeling. Gonna be interesting to see how they perform in challenges.
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:04:41 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (2:04:59 AM): Yeah I agree, I have a strong opinion you will do well on them.
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:05:34 AM)
King Jamesth (2:05:39 AM): Yeah if its puzzle related I think I have a pretty good shot. Those are what I excel at
Jrdoodle33 (2:05:49 AM): I love puzzles also.
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:05:58 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (2:17:02 AM): What kind of puzzles do you like? Math ones, or like word puzzles?
King Jamesth (2:17:56 AM): ummmm, for the most part I am a bit better at the mathy ones. But I can do alright with word puzzles
King Jamesth (2:18:08 AM): except I am terrible at crosswords
Jrdoodle33 (2:18:55 AM): I like the word puzzles and the math ones also. I am not a big fan of crosswords, either.
Jrdoodle33: Hi Roddy! Just thought I would send you a message so we could maybe get to know each other.
King Jamesth: hey! hows it going?
King Jamesth: and sorry, I am not sure exactly who you are
Jrdoodle33 (10:32:34 PM): I am Jeff from the game and it's no worries. I am doing great, how is it going with you?
King Jamesth (10:33:56 PM): I'm doing awesome, just writing my first confesh actually.
King Jamesth (10:34:01 PM): Looking forward to tomorrow
Jrdoodle33 (10:36:52 PM): I am thinking of writing a confessional soon too. I just want to get to know some people first. I am looking forward to tomorrow too it should be fun.
King Jamesth (10:37:48 PM): yeah I dont have much to say really. I am just writing for the hell of it
King Jamesth (10:38:36 PM): It will be interesting to see if people start playing hard right away
Jrdoodle33 (10:39:36 PM): That is a good idea, I hope you don't mind if I copy you but I should do one too, a confessional. Yeah I wonder if people will play hard at first. It's always something that seems to happen though.
King Jamesth (10:44:06 PM): lol no worries, I would never tell people not to write a confessional... dont think Chelsbot would like it very much if I did that
King Jamesth (10:44:16 PM): but yeah I think a few people are gonna go really hard
Jrdoodle33 (10:51:14 PM): Which players do you think are going to play really hard? I promise not to tell, if you don't want to put trust in me right now I would completely understand.
King Jamesth (10:52:37 PM): lol, well I have only talked to you Chiara and Renny. So it is pure speculation really if I were to say anything.
King Jamesth (10:52:51 PM): But I would hope that the person who picked Russ would try to win lol
King Jamesth (10:53:22 PM): I am just adding the other people now
King Jamesth (10:56:36 PM): lol am I behind on that btw? if you don't mind me asking?
Jrdoodle33 (11:02:39 PM): Oh okay that is fine thanks for updating me on what is happening in the game, I went to do dishes and just came back now so sorry for not responding right when you typed it. What do you mean are you behind? What do you feel you're behind on and you think Russell is being targeted?
King Jamesth (11:03:34 PM): no I was makinga joke about the Russell thing
King Jamesth (11:03:43 PM): Just based on how he was on the show in BB11
Jrdoodle33 (11:04:07 PM): Oh yes! Technotronics.
King Jamesth (11:04:09 PM): and I just kinda felt behind because a lot of people messaged me at once, and I hadnt even seen the memory wall post yet
King Jamesth (11:04:37 PM): but its all good
Jrdoodle33 (11:04:42 PM): No I don't think you're behind to be honest.
Jrdoodle33 (11:04:46 PM): How are you liking the cast?
King Jamesth (11:08:15 PM): well I am not too sure yet. Still figuring things out. Alex seems alright.
King Jamesth (11:08:44 PM): and Chiara and I talked a little too. But she had to go to bed pretty fast
Jrdoodle33 (11:09:54 PM): Yeah I think Chiara has school and yeah Alex seems cool. What did you think of Renny?
King Jamesth (11:10:23 PM): ummm, hard to get a read on. Not too talkative I dont think
Jrdoodle33 (11:11:12 PM): Yeah she talked some to me about the Killers. Now I am addicted to them. By the way, I am sorry if I talk too much, I probably will get annoying if I haven't already. Just don't want to be.
King Jamesth (11:13:01 PM): Lol no I am just a kinda quieter person, you are not annoying me. I am glad to have someone who can maintain a conversation to be honest. I dont really feel like many people have been very good at that so far
Jrdoodle33 (11:13:52 PM): Yeah I don't think a lot of people like to talk like you said. It just makes the game so much more boring. So I thank you for putting up with me being chatty and holding the conversation as well. You get an A+!
King Jamesth (11:16:36 PM): Glad to hear that! I hate when people only give you one word responses. Makes for the worst conversations.
King Jamesth (11:18:05 PM): So have you had a chance to talk to many other people?
Jrdoodle33 (11:18:23 PM): Yeah and it's also hard to trust them in the game because you have no idea where their head is at. I have talked to Lydia, Alex, Jordan, Chima, Russell, Renny and Chiara.
King Jamesth (11:19:15 PM): Damn I am just not very good at holding tons of conversations at once.
Jrdoodle33 (11:19:38 PM): I have talked to them yesterday though and today so it was spread out. I am only talking to you currently right now and Jase.
King Jamesth (11:24:33 PM): ok, so you asked earlier about who is gonna try for the challenge. I'll be honest I am probably gonna gun for the HoH challenge tomorrow.
King Jamesth (11:25:00 PM): I don't really have any clue what anyone else is doing
King Jamesth (11:25:03 PM): but I know that lol
Jrdoodle33 (11:25:10 PM): I am going to try my hardest for it also.
Jrdoodle33 (11:25:19 PM): Hopefully one of us could win it, that could be cool.
King Jamesth (11:26:10 PM): yeah, it would be. I dunno, I dont think that a lot of people are really gonna be willing to put themselves out there. I think it will come down to a few people really trying.
Jrdoodle33 (11:26:51 PM): Yeah it probably only will be a few people and to be honest with you. You seem like the only person who actually likes to talk other than me it's such a relief.
King Jamesth (11:27:51 PM): yeah I am getting the same feeling. A lot of these people don't really engage in the convo.
King Jamesth (11:28:00 PM): Monica especially lol
Jrdoodle33 (11:31:55 PM): Yeah Monica I think is pretty slow to be honest. Thanks for engaging into the conversation and keeping it going it means a lot.
King Jamesth (11:34:13 PM): likewise. I think Chiara seems alright, from the little bit that I talked to her.
Jrdoodle33 (11:36:00 PM): Yeah I like her too. You're growing to easily be my favorite you seem like someone I could tell anything and I would never have to worry about it going anywhere.
King Jamesth (11:38:40 PM): lol same here. I will be honest, I know the goal of these things is to win and all, but I am bot reallt the type taht would want to go to the end with a bunch of stupid people just because I thought I would beat them in final 2. Where is the fun in that?
Jrdoodle33 (11:39:14 PM): Yeah I agree with you there is no fun in that at all, are you hinting that we should maybe work together?
King Jamesth (11:40:08 PM): I dunno, Im just sayin' lol... but yeah I think that I am getting much better vibes from you than from other people
Jrdoodle33 (11:40:36 PM): Oh your I dunno, makes me seem like I thought wrong, I am sorry. I am getter better vibes from you too.
King Jamesth (11:40:49 PM): no you didnt think wrong
King Jamesth (11:40:55 PM): I am just kinda sarcastic
King Jamesth (11:41:03 PM): and it doesnt always translate into IMs
Jrdoodle33 (11:41:33 PM): True, I can be sarcastic too so if you would like to work together that would be cool with me but of course it's fine if you decided not to.
King Jamesth (11:43:30 PM): I would be down for working together. I wouldnt be surprised if the HoH might be one where people can help eachother
King Jamesth (11:45:39 PM): and combine that with the fact that a bunch of people might throw it...
Jrdoodle33 (11:47:25 PM): Yeah so I don't think we would go home this week anyways, I'd be down with working together also.
King Jamesth (11:53:16 PM): so do you work/ go to school or anything?
Jrdoodle33 (11:53:56 PM): I am an accountant, how about you?
King Jamesth (11:54:45 PM): A student and a waiter. Finishing school this year though.
King Jamesth (11:55:00 PM): and then god knows what...
Jrdoodle33 (11:55:35 PM): Yeah true, there are a lot of opportunities out there man. Just hope the economy gets better and is it hard to get both done? Meaning school and work?
King Jamesth (11:57:04 PM): ummmm, kinda. I actually have two part time jobs at different restaurants. But it is not so bad because I am part time student meaning the workload isn't as heavy.
King Jamesth (11:57:20 PM): So I end up being busy, but I just have to mange my time appropriately and Im fine
Jrdoodle33 (11:58:17 PM): You sound like you have your life all organized which is good. Plus you're someone who doesn't bore me to death. So yes!
King Jamesth (11:59:47 PM): yeah good conversation might be slim pickings with these houseguests lol. I think that I will get along decently with some of these people, but I dunno.
King Jamesth (12:00:32 AM): Everyone ends up being so cautious and fake in the beginning of bb games
Jrdoodle33 (12:02:27 AM): Yeah I am just being myself that's all I can be. True colors will begin to show with the fake people.
King Jamesth (12:05:10 AM): Im glad you are, because I am too and we probably wouldnt have connected with eachother if one of us was putting on a facade
Jrdoodle33 (12:05:56 AM): That is very true. I am just glad I already found someone I can talk to about anything.
King Jamesth (12:07:11 AM): yeah me too. I dont think I could play this game without someone to hear my running commentary. I'd go crazy
Jrdoodle33 (12:07:50 AM): I would go nuts too. So if I ever have anything I feel at the moment I will come to you and tell you about it, so please don't get annoyed and be warned because I trusted you so that is why.
King Jamesth (12:10:00 AM): ok cool. I am a pretty laid back person, I don't get ruffled very easily. Don't worry about annoying me. Because I will tell you if you are.
Jrdoodle33 (12:10:28 AM): That sounds good with me, thanks for being a sane person who I can chat with and now we're working together, todays been awesome .
King Jamesth (12:11:00 AM): yeah
King Jamesth (12:11:30 AM): ok so have you looked at the last seasons at all?
Jrdoodle33 (12:13:27 AM): Yeah I have brushed through them. What are you thinking?
King Jamesth (12:14:18 AM): just that there is usually some sort of secret power in the house.
King Jamesth (12:14:26 AM): and I think that if you win some of the early competitions
King Jamesth (12:14:44 AM): you are potentially able to get them
Jrdoodle33 (12:15:09 AM): Really? Then that means we must win them, I wouldn't want some of the others winning the powers.
King Jamesth (12:16:49 AM): yeah, I basically read the season 2 episodes. and I kinda glanced at season 1. But the common theme about the people getting the powers was that they had won a competition and gained access to a secret room which contained their power, where but they would have to crack a bunch of codes and stuff.
King Jamesth (12:17:30 AM): so yeah I think these first competitions will be important in some way
Jrdoodle33 (12:18:40 AM): We can work together to make sure we win them, if you wanna do that? I trust you.
King Jamesth (12:19:23 AM): yeah I think it would be a good idea.
King Jamesth (12:19:28 AM): could have a big impact later on
Jrdoodle33 (12:20:14 AM): I agree with you. I will enjoy working with you. Someone I can talk to, it's nice. I appreciate it, man.
King Jamesth (12:23:20 AM): yeah same here. Glad I have someone who has a head on their shoulders to bounce ideas together. 2 person alliances always end up being the most important in these games IMO.
Jrdoodle33 (12:31:29 AM): Yeah I agree with you. It's easier to talk to the other person without worrying about everyone else in the game being okay with it. We just need to worry about ourselves and usually I don't like getting threats out early but don't you think it would benefit us?
King Jamesth (12:34:06 AM): well, I dunno, I kinda go on a case by case scenario. Because some threats are better to keep around just for the sake of keeping another target in the house.
Jrdoodle33 (12:34:45 AM): True but somewhere later down in the game they are like the only people who could take us out.
King Jamesth (12:36:30 AM): yeah I agree with you on that. I haven't played many ORGs before, but I have been burned by decideing not to take out the biggest threat.
King Jamesth (12:36:53 AM): So I dont plan on letting that happen again
Jrdoodle33 (12:37:32 AM): I agree it shouldn't happen. So you think us taking out the biggest threat will help us out? I think so. Just got to make sure we win that Head of Household and Power of Veto.
King Jamesth (12:38:40 AM): what is your take on Alex? I think he is gonna be a social player... but Im not really that sure
Jrdoodle33 (12:39:26 AM): I agree he is going to be a strong social player and someone to watch out for.
Jrdoodle33 (12:40:30 AM): Do you agree?
King Jamesth (12:42:16 AM): yeah I do. He seems like the strongest player I have talked to other than you. Mind you taht is like 4 people only, but still
Jrdoodle33 (12:44:20 AM): You think I will be a strong player?
King Jamesth (12:45:01 AM): lol you better be because I've made up my mind
King Jamesth (12:45:26 AM): but yeah I think the two of us will make a very good team
Jrdoodle33 (12:46:01 AM): You seem like a strong player too, we just need to make sure that since we're both strong we get the strong people out.
Jrdoodle33 (12:46:07 AM): So we can rule the house.
King Jamesth (12:49:20 AM): Do you think it would be better to have two strong people on the block? or one weak and one strong in an effort not to make an enemy
King Jamesth (12:49:38 AM): I mean, i know this is kinda getting ahead of things lol
King Jamesth (12:50:18 AM): But Im just interested, because its usually a tough deciesion when it comes up
Jrdoodle33 (12:50:49 AM): Sorry just responding now, didn't see this. I really to be honest would eel comfortable putting up two strong people. I am pretty good at competitions, are you?
Jrdoodle33 (12:52:59 AM): feel
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:41:55 AM)
King Jamesth (12:53:43 AM): I like to have time to think things over
Jrdoodle33 (12:54:15 AM): Yeah I am not a fan of live competitions either. If you won the Head of Household you know the main people who will be kissing your ass and then maybe you could see what to do from there?
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:03:09 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (12:56:24 AM): Back, sorry about that.
King Jamesth (12:56:56 AM): its all good. btw, I am quite often signed in under invis if you need to leave me a message or something
Jrdoodle33 is available (12:57:10 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (12:57:32 AM): That is good to know incase I need you thanks for warning me.
Jrdoodle33 is available (12:57:57 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (12:59:09 AM): I love how we're just observing the ongoings in the chat room.
King Jamesth (12:59:21 AM): yeah I know. I never really participate in those things
King Jamesth (12:59:29 AM): I find them so mundane
Jrdoodle33 (1:00:45 AM): Yeah I am not really into them either. Also for the Head of Household competition to make sure the power is in our hands would you like maybe working together over IM? That would probably be the best way to maintain a win.
King Jamesth (1:01:01 AM): yeah for sure
King Jamesth (1:01:58 AM): I dont think many people will be considering working with other people right now. Very early still
Jrdoodle33 (1:02:16 AM): Yeah I think people will create big alliances, right now.
Jrdoodle33 (1:02:33 AM): Who do you find the biggest threats in the chat? I'd say Alex and I don't know on the other.
King Jamesth (1:03:30 AM): yeah Alex is gonna try and join up with the ladies for sure
King Jamesth (1:03:32 AM): I think
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:43:41 AM)
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:25:17 AM)
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:16:01 AM)
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:07:50 AM)
King Jamesth (1:07:57 AM): yeah I think so too.
King Jamesth (1:08:05 AM): but I have no idea what the lines will be
King Jamesth (1:08:21 AM): the people in the convo don't seem super smart lol
Jrdoodle33 (1:08:44 AM): I know the definitely don't.
Jrdoodle33 (1:09:02 AM): It could be to our advantage though if we aligned with some dumb people.
Jrdoodle33 (1:10:15 AM): Not saying them of course.
King Jamesth (1:10:17 AM): I generally try to stay away from aligning with dumb people because they self destruct.
King Jamesth (1:10:19 AM): yeah
King Jamesth (1:10:32 AM): If the dumb person is loyal then I would do it
Jrdoodle33 (1:11:13 AM): Yeah that is a good point you have there.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:13:04 AM)
King Jamesth (1:13:40 AM): Well I basically would be willing to work with most people to some degree or another. Lets just make sure we always remember that you and I have to come first over anyone else and then we should be set.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:13:46 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:14:13 AM): Yeah I agree with you, we need to come first out of everyone and we need to take out threats in this game.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:14:40 AM)
King Jamesth (1:16:02 AM): So you know how you can kinda divide people into social/strategic/physical threats? I think we should definitely gun for a social threat this week.
King Jamesth (1:16:47 AM): because others will start to target comp threats automatically later on.
Jrdoodle33 (1:17:15 AM): Yeah I agree I think the social threats right now are Renny and Alex.
Jrdoodle33 (1:17:22 AM): Of course us, but we're not going anywhere.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:18:53 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:20:55 AM): Roddy, I have some news I need to tell you.
King Jamesth (1:21:05 AM): alright?
Jrdoodle33 (1:21:34 AM): So an alliance is trying to form right now and they are looking to add one more player into the mix, I think I am going to mention you if you're cool with it.
King Jamesth (1:21:47 AM): ok
Jrdoodle33 (1:21:49 AM): The people who invited me were Chiara, Holly and now Lydia and I are in it.
King Jamesth (1:21:50 AM): that sounds good
King Jamesth (1:22:08 AM): oh good I am talking to Lyd right now
Jrdoodle33 (1:22:10 AM): So would it be cool if we worked with those girls. I think it'd be okay because we could get out whoever we wanted.
King Jamesth (1:23:06 AM): yeah they seem alright.
King Jamesth (1:23:31 AM): and Holly is the only one I havent really talked to yet from that group
Jrdoodle33 (1:23:58 AM): Yeah I talked to her sometimes. So I guess we should make it official right now?
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:24:30 AM)
King Jamesth (1:26:00 AM): yeah I'm down
Jrdoodle33 (1:26:10 AM): We're going to rock this game.
King Jamesth (1:28:32 AM): yeah this is lookin good.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:33:34 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:33:52 AM): I really like this alliance, and think if it gets down to us 5 we will dominate.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:36:11 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:36:51 AM): Meaning us two.
King Jamesth (1:37:03 AM): Yeah I totally agree with that.
King Jamesth (1:37:25 AM): We just need to work those girls throughout the game though
Jrdoodle33 (1:37:53 AM): Yeah I think we both have strong social and strategic games, wouldn't you agree? I think we could control them easily.
King Jamesth (1:38:52 AM): yeah but we need to watch them closely... because if one of them is particularly strong then they might rally behind her
King Jamesth (1:39:00 AM): But I think we are good for the short term with thewe 3
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:39:04 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (1:39:34 AM): I think so too, we'll see how everyone matches up in the competition.
Jrdoodle33 (1:39:52 AM): I am just observing the chats trying to see who are the social threats so we know who to target if we win Head of Household.
Jrdoodle33 (1:40:24 AM): So far I would say the social threats are Renny, and Alex.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:41:24 AM)
King Jamesth (1:42:23 AM): hmmm, cant really comment yet... Renny and Alex are really the only people that I have had a good convo with outside of our alliance
Jrdoodle33 (1:43:00 AM): Are those the kinds of people you would like to target? I agree on you with going after social players because they're the only people who could sway our people to go with them.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:43:26 AM)
King Jamesth (1:43:41 AM): yeah, I would want to target that type of person
King Jamesth (1:44:22 AM): I dont want them to have enough time to get inside any of the girls' heads
Jrdoodle33 (1:44:27 AM): Great we are on the same page then. We could continue to talk to people maybe and then rank them and the top two are the people we would target.
Jrdoodle33 (1:44:31 AM): Me either.
Jrdoodle33 is available (1:46:36 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (2:03:46 AM): You have a good feeling on them?
Jrdoodle33 (2:03:52 AM): I think I do so far.
King Jamesth (2:04:28 AM): I have a pretty good feeling. Gonna be interesting to see how they perform in challenges.
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:04:41 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (2:04:59 AM): Yeah I agree, I have a strong opinion you will do well on them.
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:05:34 AM)
King Jamesth (2:05:39 AM): Yeah if its puzzle related I think I have a pretty good shot. Those are what I excel at
Jrdoodle33 (2:05:49 AM): I love puzzles also.
Jrdoodle33 is available (2:05:58 AM)
Jrdoodle33 (2:17:02 AM): What kind of puzzles do you like? Math ones, or like word puzzles?
King Jamesth (2:17:56 AM): ummmm, for the most part I am a bit better at the mathy ones. But I can do alright with word puzzles
King Jamesth (2:18:08 AM): except I am terrible at crosswords
Jrdoodle33 (2:18:55 AM): I like the word puzzles and the math ones also. I am not a big fan of crosswords, either.
