Tribal Council
         Hello Loa Seki and welcome to Tribal Council. This is the first visit for some of you, so I'll go through the rules. Behind you are torches, please grab one, approach the flame, and light your torch. In this game fire represents life, and once your fire is out, as is your time in this game. Now, let's get to the business portion of Tribal Council. We will begin with a question period, where I will ask each of you questions. From now until the deadline you are responsible for answering your questions and posting your votes in the thread in you confessional titled "Voting History". You will vote by modifying the following parchment.  Using editing software you must write the name of who you are voting out on the parchment. You must then upload it (imgur.com is suggested as your ideal uploader) and post it in your "Voting History" thread. If you have any problems with this, please come to me for assistance. If you fail to do vote before the deadline, you will receive a self-vote, and if you self-vote twice in a row you will be removed from the game. More rules regarding Tribal Council can be found in the thread titled Tribal Council Rules. Now let's get to the questions. Shane - You had a very public blow up against your tribe and admitted that as of Tuesday you won't be around. What has been the aftermath of your blowup?
Coach - You stepped up as the main creator for this portion of the challenge. Are you worried that you'll be blamed for the loss and as a result targeted?
Bob, Courtney and Jaclyn - You were all swapped to Loa Seki into the minority based on old tribe lines. Are you nervous that you're in a vulnerable position or do you feel as though given the dynamics of old Loa Seki, that you have a chance?
Alec, Cao Boi, and Morgan - Shane's blow up exposed a lot of the dynamics of the old Loa Seki tribe. Even though you guys have a majority in this tribe after the swap, are past alliances still a factor? Did Shane's blow up shatter any unity amongst your tribe, and if so have have the dynamics shifted?
Everyone - What have been your first impressions of your new tribe?
Everyone - How will you be basing your vote tonight?
The voting deadline is Monday, January 12th at 10:00pm EST. If you do not vote by this time, you will receive a self-vote. As I have previously stated voting is to be done in your confessional, in a thread titled "Voting History", that has already been created.
Good luck!

i mean i would hope that this is not a tribe vs tribe thing because that would be awfully lame. as far as im concerned when swap happens its a new tribe with new people, why just automatically side against people when you could make good allies? lol
Everyone - What have been your first impressions of your new tribe?
i like it, the ppl all seem cool and fun to talk to, so its kind of exciting to be here
Everyone - How will you be basing your vote tonight?
in myyy opinion i think we need to stay strong/active/united/bffsforlife so we can win something because losing every challenge makes me wanna cry tbqh

What alliances there were in the past are very confusing, because while on one hand Shane’s information was enlightening, on the other it showed people saying contradictory things, so a lot of people don’t know where things stand. Especially because we know we’re losing Shane on Tuesday, who’s with who and who’s not is very confusing. A lot of the tribal unity was shattered when that happened, but Shane’s so damn tenacious it seems to be restructuring itself – whether it will significantly influence our dynamics long-term, and this particular vote, remains to be seen.
As for first impressions, this tribe is awesome, and it’s a travesty we lost. We have a poppin’ groupchat haha, and I can honestly say there’s no one here I dislike, even whatever person I end up voting for. If I were the type of player to base their vote on personal feelings, which I’m not haha, it’d be about who I like less in our scenario, not who I dislike. On that note, my vote is based on who I think wants to keep me around to play the game tell my lame jokes, for as long as possible, haha.

Oh, sure, I feel vulnerable. I would feel vulnerable even if I thought I was in the majority, strange shit happens at TC. I hope I have a chance though, that would be great.
Everyone - What have been your first impressions of your new tribe?
What a wild and crazy crew! I really don't dislike anyone, which is amazing! These are my people!
Everyone - How will you be basing your vote tonight?
Basically on what's going to get me through this round. Majority Rules.

Jeff,
my public blow up was a bad idea. I felt really bad about my position in the game, and as such I decided that I would cause some havoc between my tribe mates by making them hate each other.
Well, it did something I don't know how I overlooked: it turned my own 'alliance' against me.
I feel very vulnerable. I feel like many people want me out and I think that puts me in danger.
But I hope people have listened to who I think should go and they understand that keeping the tribe strong is of paramount importance.

Can I just get a quick raise of hands; who's planning on voting me?
I just need to know so I can come around to all your shitty apartments and murder you. Especially you, Courtney.

I think Shane's blowup was... very interesting.. to say the least. The reason it had the affect on me that it did was because I was very tired and worn out. Shane and I have since made amends and I think we're past all that now. The way I see it, this is a new Loa Seki so all the unity is there once again.
Everyone - What have been your first impressions of your new tribe?
I think they're all good people. I've enjoyed the chance to talk with Courtney, Jaclyn and Bob Dawg and to get to know them. It was definitely quite the surprise to see us swapped so early but I'm making the most of it.
Everyone - How will you be basing your vote tonight?
I think my vote will be based on what I feel in my gut is the best for me. Of course the majority will have a factor in that as well.

Yeah, I do feel it might have SOME sway in how people vote, but not that much, everyone here knows that I'm a total team player and this particular go around I just dropped the ball a bit. This new tribe is pretty interesting, we get the likes of THEE ALMIGHTY BOBDAWG, Jaclyn and Courtney, and they're all pretty interesting people in my opinion, haha. I'm basing my vote tonight on what is known as a "parchment", which is a piece of paper that will adequately hold the weight of the name of the person I end up voting for. |

I really don't know anymore, a lot of people tell me one thing and then run to the next person and say something different. It's annoying! But, whatever. I'll deal with it because there's nothing I can do about it. Really loving this tribe though, everyone seems active and excited to be here. Always go with the majority. |

Never get TOO comfortable, Jeff. Easy question!
First impression was probably a pretty wrong one.
Just gotta do what's best for a mix between myself and everyone.
