Come on in, guys! You know the drill, each of you has a torch, grab it, dip it in, get fire. In this game, fire represents your life. If your fire's gone, so are you. The rules have changed somewhat since last time! This is a completely fresh set! 1) Voting deadline will always be posted below the TC. It's typically about 24 hours. Remember: No late votes are accepted. 2) You are to make a voting history topic in your confessional. ALL VOTES must be placed in that topic - if they aren't, they won't count. 3) If you want to change your vote, you may, just please edit the SAME post - I don't want to have to decide which parchment to use. You don't need to tell me you changed it, I'll look at the deadline. 4) If you have a reward to play, do it in the SAME POST as your vote. Edit it in if it changes! Also remember - this season, you may only play one reward per round. You may play a multiplier on another person's vote, but if they play a multiplier too, yours will be refunded. Multiple nullifiers will not be refunded; two vote changers used on the same vote will CANCEL each other. 5) With your vote, please state a reason WHY you are voting the way you are. At least one sentence, doesn't have to be spectacular. 6) To ensure your vote counts, you MUST answer your question here at Tribal and write at least one confessional for the round. You HAVE to do this to show WHY you deserve to be here. 7) You MUST use this parchment if you are able to: Since it's the first round and I'm drained, I'll be asking the same questions to everyone. 1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges? 2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka? 3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early? 4) What do you think of your tribe name? Votes are due at 12:40 Eastern tomorrow - 23 hours, yeah, so I can get to BED on time, which I am NOT RIGHT NOW xD Good luck all!

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges?Response: Its hard to say! I think that at this point everyone is just getting to know each other all over again. I think of course people are going to be paying attention to past alliances, rivalries, and maybe some will hold onto grudges. For me though its all about how do we now get past this Tribal Council and put ourselves in a place where we don't have to come here again. 2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka?Response: Well I think it was close! I think we still have the stronger tribe though. If Yau Man and Adam were able to compete then I think we would have easily won this challenge. So I think regardless were still going to be very competitive with the other tribe. Challenge performance I'm sure will be something some will consider to take into account for this first vote. 3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early?Response: For me it doesn't and it probably never will. 4) What do you think of your tribe name? Response: I'm having just as hard of a time pronouncing it as I am spelling it!

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges? AS2? Lol what's that? I don't remember anything!!!1 I'm sure it will be hard for everyone to forget what happened in that game, which only makes sense. People will also assume a lot of things based on that game though, and these assumptions will affect the game, whether we want it or not. So it's not necessarily alliances/rivalries/grudges, it's assumptions I believe that will impact the game.
2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka? Seeing how well they got it together, we certainly need to keep our tribe strong if we want a chance to beat them. I was impressed by how well they did and given time restrictions and real life stuff on our side we just weren't able to beat them.
3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early? I'm not sure why it would influence the voting process. Yeah maybe later if someone likes to pull an Ozzy or something.
4) What do you think of your tribe name? Being Dutch, it's easy for me to pronounce. It looks African or old Dutch. It means "three goddesses", so I don't think it really represents our tribe very well unless we lose the next eight challenges and keep three goddesses here or something. I like the color though.

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges?
Oh gosh, everything from that is carrying over, for me. I'm sticking with all of the same alliances I had back in that game, and totally keeping up all of my old rivalries. And for the people I had grudges with in that game, they had all better watch their backs, because I am comin' for them!
...Oh, wait, I wasn't in that. So I guess nothing is carrying over.
2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka?
I think challenge strength is definitely a factor. After all, what's the point in taking command of a sinking ship? If we start fracturing into a bunch of different factions this early, then it's going to be easy for Bobmaka to break us apart later. After all, that's a group of people who've had an entire year to figure out strategies for this game, and we're coming into it fresh, so we definitely need to step it up if we're gonna beat them.
With that being said, I'd like to take this opportunity to officially apologize for not being as awesome in this first challenge as I could have been. If I'd known that it was a 24 hour challenge, I would definitely not have stepped up as Overseer, and would have left that to someone busier than I was, but that didn't happen due to poor communication on a couple of levels. So hopefully we can get all of our ducks in a row and really kick some butt next time!
3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early?
Not for me, no. Redemption Island never factors into it for me, because given how randomly the challenges are likely to go, there's no way to predict who will or won't come back. It's kinda pointless to worry about it, imo.
4) What do you think of your tribe name?
It's interesting.

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges? A few of us were out early and never got to play with some people, so for me personally, I don't think I have any rivalries or grudges lol In any game you play you're going to have a lot of that carry from game to game so it's hard to judge if it has to do with AS2 or just friendships/enemies overall.
2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka? Of course, but I don't think this challenge is completely a valid challenge to compare to. One challenge doesn't determine if certain people are hard core or not.
3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early? I forgot about it lol
4) What do you think of your tribe name? I like the colour haha. I really wish all 11 players had of voted on tribe name but we still might have ended up with the same name. I like it but it's hard to remember how to write it out and I'm going to have to google how to pronounce it lol I'm just glad that a good colour was chosen since the reds are just way too hard to read on this site.[/color]

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges? I never played with, like, half these people, so I am just trying to start out fresh 2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka? I mean, Yau is one of the strongest physical competitors in the game, and he couldn't help us, so I feel like overall we are stronger, we just got a bad hand. 3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early? No. 4) What do you think of your tribe name? It's a pretty color! I'm pronouncing it "dry-go-DEEN" in my head but Anthony can probably clear up pronunciation problems haha.

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges?
~ For me this is a new game so I'm not holding any grudges toward other players. But you just can't help the bond that you made with other people before.
2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka?
~ Yeah I do think we need our strongest members here. I was surprised to see how strong was Bobmaka in the last challenge.
3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early?
~ I don't think it's going to influence the voting process but who knows...
4) What do you think of your tribe name?
~ I really love our tribe name. It reminds me of a Drag Queen's name. So I'm cool with it. Love the color too.

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges?Well, there are obvious connections and I'm sure that's already being considered. This whole game is pretty much boiled down to pre-games, friendships, previous rivalries, etc. I'm sure it will play into things but I think that can really narrow your thinking if you focus on it. I'd rather see everyone as an individual, form an opinion on my own, and not judge them on who they may or may not be aligned with. As far as grudges, I don't carry any into this game but I'm open to forming new grudges. 2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka?Yeah, obviously I'd like to keep strong players and win challenges. 3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early?No, you can't play that way. Anything can happen with Redemption Island so it's impossible to guess. 4) What do you think of your tribe name?Well, I can't remember, spell or pronounce it. It is what it is, though.

Lol uhm dree-go-dinne(r) (pronounce dinne as if you were going to say dinner, but without the r, if that makes sense xD). Idk how to write in phonetics.

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges?
I think that everything that happened in AS2 is going to come over here on some level. Even if it doesn't, where it doesn't, it is the result of a conscious decision to not let it come over from that game to this one. So really, it definitely does play a role on some level.
2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka?
I think strength is important overall, but other things are important too. It is also important to recognize we've only gotten to play one challenge thus far. I certain think that this however, as well as other things, are all factors that will play into the vote.
3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early?
It plays a role, probably, but for me I'm not really thinking about it. There are players though that do take every single little thing into account, so I'm sure someone somewhere is thinking about it, and one person thinking something is sometimes just enough to affect the voting process.
4) What do you think of your tribe name?
I really don't know, it's random to me, and I don't know what to get out of it, lol.

Since it's the first round and I'm drained, I'll be asking the same questions to everyone.
1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges?
I wasn't in All Stars 2 long enough to have any roll over beef!!!
2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka?
Honestly I was one of the few who unavoidably couldn't make the challenge, I think though knowing what people have brought to the table previous seasons will play factors... Sometimes a strong group of trust is better then all the BEST performers if it keeps the drama at bay.
3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early?
Too Early in my opinion
4) What do you think of your tribe name?
Rock On!!!!

1) AS2 just finished a few weeks ago. How much from that game is carrying over here? Alliances, rivalries, grudges?
I'm not really carrying over a whole lot from that game. I don't like to let the past affect a new game and like to give everybody a chance even if we didn't get along in the past.
2) How does challenge performance play a factor here? Do you need your strongest members to bring it against Bobmaka?
Of course we need our strongest competitors to stay in the game, but it's tough since I think we're all pretty strong; the challenge just came at a bad time.
3) Does Redemption Island influence the voting process? Or is it too early?
I think it's too early yet.
4) What do you think of your tribe name?
I like it, and I'd help with the writing in phonetics thing since I took a linguistics class last semester; except I didn't understand any of it and almost failed the class so probably not a big help in that department LOL

I do think that there are many assumptions based on how things went in AS2 but I personally don't have a grudge against anyone here and I don't think that I have any rivalries at least on my part with anyone. I came in hoping to play this game from square one and see where things go
I think that having strong members is very important but I do not think that this past IC is really a deciding factor for me on who will be strong and who won't.
Too early. I am not thinking about that yet
It is really hard to remember and type but the more I use it I am sure it will get easier

I'm just going to save you all a potentially hard decision. I would just ask you to vote me out but since the deadline is approaching, I have decided to just bow out. I struggled with whether I really wanted to play and once I told Andy I would, I didn't want to back out. I realize that I probably should have, though. I don't want to take up a spot while there are 10 other people on this tribe who want to play the game more than I do.
So, with that said, good luck to you all and have fun!
Andy, I'm really sorry. Thanks for asking me and I'm sorry I can't continue in the game.
PS - For those of you who may be wondering, "Three Goddesses" is not myself, Tracy and Heidi. You can all figure out who they are but I can assure you, you're looking in the wrong direction.

Eliza, don't worry - I understand. Life comes before a soul-sucking game like this. I hope everything is okay with you and your family, and I'm going to miss you a LOT! You know you're one of my favourites and you are easily one of the best players I have ever encountered. I hope we can keep in touch. I wish you the best! Since Eliza has left the game, Tribal Council is canceled. None of you are getting voted out this round. Eliza is not going to Redemption, unfortunately. That's all there is to this. For now, grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night!
