This is something I've seen been done before, by the host of States. I tagged along with it once before, and figured it'd be fun and keep me involved here. I'll be ranking the players after every Tribal Council based on gameplay, sociability, confessionals, and general gut feeling. You can all do this too if you want. N-Not like I made this thread for you or anything, I-Idiots. >///> =FIRST IMPRESSIONS= There's no real gameplay going on pre-tribes, so I'll just list off my base feelings on what I read when I signed on today. Normally the players would be ranked by numbers, but for this I'm going by category. THE GOOD Has a fire to her speech. I like it. Could be beneficial or negative to her. We'll have to wait and see the tone of the season for which.  Active, social. People are noticing her. Could be beneficial or negative to her. We'll have to wait and see the tone of the season for which.  Extremely obvious she's a hard ball player. I'd even call her a hailmary type. Expecting her to go far or go short, with no inbetween.  Well known player with a solid idea of how he's going to play. Expecting to do well unless his alias gets blown.  Solid confessional. Expecting to make Merge fairly easily.  Quiet in his confessional, but made an impression on Ashley. Interested to see more.  Solid and confident confessional. Strong personality. Could be beneficial or negative to her. We'll have to wait and see the tone of the season for which.  Solid confessional. Expecting to make Merge fairly easily. THE BAD OTTF (Over The Top Fernando) is a crack shot. Sometimes works, usually doesn't. Hell of a lot of fun, but expecting early boot.  Weak confessional, poor grammar. Not a good sign.  Weak confessional, poor grammar. Not a good sign.  It may be just me, but she kinda seems like she runs her mouth off. Putting her here in the off chance that annoys someone. (It does annoy me.)  Weak Confessional. Not the biggest deal though. She could still do well.  Character players can be fun, but they do very easily come off as fake and are very rarely respected. May go far, but won't win unless he drops it.  Weak confessional. Not the biggest deal though. He could still do well. THE UGLY   No confessional yet = Very bad sign. Even if social, shows a lack of passion for the game. |

=Round 1= Simple round with an inactive boot, although the Kel hinky vote and the drama was interesting, although no one's blown up yet we can't say the same for rounds to come! --1-- I personally think Pete is in the best position. He's on good terms on both sides, and is an easy pick for most likely to make the merge. --2-- Super popular. Good for now, may be bad down the road. --3-- Maybe a bit high, but I'm putting Laura here. The negative karma very likely helped her build bonds, as she asked for help against a bully. --4-- Doing exceptionally well, actually. Is not at the top because of going beyond the levels of "really good" and into the areas of "too good" --5-- Has a fantastic head on his shoulders, putting him near the top of the currently behind tribe. --6-- Good so far. May be a bit low. --7-- Really turning out to be surprising. --8--  In the good alliance I guess. --10-- Is playing too hard. Alliance with Brenda/Kel may burn her or save her depending on how things go, but the larger alliance she's a part of is really solid. She could be on the outs of it if her smaller alliance is found out. --11-- Sitting well, and expecting to move up, but hasn't done much so far. --12--  Not in the best situation but have the potential to get out of it. --15-- On the outs of his tribe and too awkward to do anything about it. --16-- No me gusto. --17-- Inactive. |

=Round 2= An extension of last round, this time they had to deal with Brianna, an active player. Sadly, she didn't make any waves.  Elaenia's getting complacent and under-confessional giving, Vireo's slowly getting their shit together. Expecting them to turn this around. --1-- Jeff (^1) No one dislikes Jeff. He holds a lot of power. --2-- Ashley (^8) She really got her shit together, worked through the mistakes she made last round, and turned them into a profit. Not bad.  --3-- Pete (v2) People were starting to really notice him... and his bonds. Making people wary is not a good sign. --4-- Allie (-) One of the few members of her tribe whom gave a solid confessional this round. I think the tone of the season is in her favor. --5-- Chris (-) Still solid. Even when he dropped from the challenge, only his enemies dropped a bat of their eyelids. --6-- Zane (^2) Surprisingly did very well this round. Had a good confessional, had multiple people supporting him and saying good things. Not as low on the totem pole as I thought he was. --7-- Laura (v4) Not a good confessional round for her tribe. Less coverage means I can't really keep her up high, can I? --8-- Tarzan (v2) Had his cooling down episode. Come on, Tarzan! Be big!  --9-- Eddie (^2) On the outside of his alliance, apparently, but slowly ingraining himself into it. Not so great in the challenge though. --10-- Julia (v3) Maybe a little too surprising. She's being hyper, and I think it'll work against her in the long run. --11-- Keith (^1) Hard to tell where they stand in their tribe until they go to tribal. Good confessionals, hoping doesn't leave early and gets to go up! Sierra (^1) Hard to tell where she stands in their tribe until they go to tribal. Call this my baseline. --13-- Brenda (v5) OKAY SO I COMPLETELY FORGOT BRENDA WAS IN THE GAME WHILE MAKING A RANKING LIST. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN. --14-- Alex (^2) Eh. He's slowly working his way up. --15-- Kel (-) I think Kel's worked himself into a hole. He's the only person not in his tribe's alliance. Win immunity until he's got access to more cards, or he's toast. --16-- Heidi (^1) 6 days gone, and yet she's going up on here simply by not being voted out yet. Good lord. |

Once Heidi leaves hopefully Elaenia steps up. Regardless what happens tomorrow Heidi will leave. If they win she is going to be removed for being off site for a week if they lose she'll just get voted off.

No real need to update this for this round.
Keith is in a better spot then Sierra with his confessional, so I'm editing that post to move Sierra one notch down. Next round ahoy~!

=Round 4= Loyalties on Vireo really got tested this round. Kel got through it pretty well, but Eddie bit the bullet, which kinda sucks. --1-- Jeff (-) Very much at the center of this game, yet he's not the biggest threat still, despite TOTALLY BEING THE THREAT. --2-- Ashley (-) Still solid. Probably the one to make the call to get Eddie out. Seems she did so to test the waters, and may have found out more about some members of her alliance in doing so. --3-- Allie (^1) No one's really challenged her yet, so she's sticking high, but anything can happen. --4-- Chris (^1) Oddly enough, even though he's going up this round, I feel he may be pegged as a target soon, as people are starting to get wary of him. --5-- Pete (v2) I don't think he's really done that much lately. May just be his lack of confessional. --6-- Zane (-) He's getting mixed messages. Some like him, some are wary of him. Either way, he has a presence in his tribe and the game. --7-- Tarzan (^1) Explained what was up with him. I've had the same thing happen before, so I won't negative him for it. Also placed a bet on Alex becoming useful down the road. Curious to see if that works out. --8-- Laura (v1) Not in the worst situation, and decent confessionals, but can't really put up high. --9-- Keith (^2) Everyone's got someone they want to do well. I'm personally rooting for Keith. --10-- Sierra (^1) STILL hard to tell where she stands in their tribe until they go to tribal. Call this my baseline. --11-- Kel (^4) I said he needed more cards. Well, he got them. "Devoted to the game" and "Friend of Jeff's" were good for him. "Poor challenge performance" on Eddie got him through that round, but he's still in a better situation then before. --12-- Julia (v2) "Activity drop" is not something you want to hear for someone whom was already slowly falling to the bottom of their alliance from their current activity. --13-- Alex (^1) In serious danger. Needs to radically pull things together. --14-- Brenda (v1) WHO IS THIS PERSON. They didn't submit in the challenge either. :/ |

=Round 5= Soooo much happened this round. Pete and Alex burnt eachother out, and the game is quite a bit different because of it. --1-- Jeff (-) I think Pete being out makes his game a bit more clear. His allies/enemies arn't really challenging him yet. He has eyes on him, but no one is really threatening him. --2-- Ashley (-) Keeping very close to Jeff. Probably the best. --3-- Laura (^5) She systematicly broke Prestige Worldwide, one of the two power alliances of the game, and built herself her own, new alliance of misfits. Not bad! --4-- Sierra (^6) HUGE jump in her gameplay. Worked her way out of the minority thanks to Laura, and now very relevant to the game at hand. --5-- Chris (v1) While still in a situation that is preferable to him... I think he's starting to make people wary of him, and that will be very negative going forward, especially with his very clear dislike of Kel. --6-- Keith (^3) Was targeted, but was shifted into a new alliance to get out a threat. Is in a much better situation then before. --7-- Kel (^3) It's happening slowly, but Kel is inching his way out of the outside of his tribe. If the cards go well for him, he'll be going far. --8-- Zane (v2) His situation isn't bad, but there are mixed messages of people getting closer to him and people feeling he's getting distant. Very hard to pin point where he's at, which is why he's not very high. --9-- Tarzan (v2) People are starting to be bugged by Tarzan... and he's no longer in the majority alliance. This could be very bad for him. --10-- Brenda (^4) I still don't even know if she's very well into the game, but I was watching the challenge a bit and she showed some sassiness there. Also others have been positively speaking about her, minus Sierra's comments on her finickiness. --11-- Allie (v8) Nosedived. She's distrusted and on the outs. She very well could be out if her tribe loses again. --12-- Julia (-) Don't take the 0 change this round seriously. She is losing a lot of ground, and could be out if her tribe loses again. |

=Round 6= Well frig. The boat got rocked, but it steadied out right after. siiigh. =_= --1-- Jeff (-) When he gets challenged, his position will change. :/ --2-- Ashley (-) When Jeff gets challenged, her position will change. :/ --3-- Chris (^2) As his tribe goes into the late game with numbers, his situation is better. Also, Zane/Jeff F3? He's in a great position. --4-- Laura (v1) Chickened out and voted out an ally. For shame. --5-- Zane (^3) As his tribe goes into the late game with numbers, his situation is better. Also, Chris/Jeff F3? He's in a great position. --6-- Sierra (v2) Voted out Keith, whom was necessary to keep herself on the high side of things. --7-- Kel (-) Quiet, but slowly becoming less of a target thanks to Julia. --8-- Allie (^3) Surviving that last round was good. Now she just needs to work the target off her ass and she'll be fine. --9-- Tarzan (-) I don't think he has a shot to get far any more, unless he gets lucky and finds a perfect alliance. --10-- Julia (^1) She is not improving. Her tribe is improving and other players are being voted out. --11-- Brenda (v1) Are you fucking serious. |

=Round 7= This round was dull. One thing DID happen though. --1-- Jeff (-) --2-- Ashley (-) --3-- Chris (-) --4-- Laura (-) --5-- Zane (-) --6-- Tarzan (^3) Is suddenly Laura's closest ally through de-aliasing. This is the thing that matters from this round. --7-- Sierra (v1) --8-- Kel (v1) --9-- Allie (v1) She knows she's on the outs. Gonna be a struggle for her from here on. :/ --10-- Julia (-) |

=Round 6= Elaenia got fucked, but Kel survived to merge? Cooliio --1-- Jeff (-) --2-- Ashley (-) --3-- Chris (^2) --4-- Zane (^1) --5-- Kel (^2) He's super lucky he made it this far, but he's not in as bad a position as he could be! He's the biggest chance of turning things around for the minority. --6-- Laura (v2) Lost too many challenges, didn't socialize much cross-tribal. huge target at merge. Playing best game of minority, but will likely be targeted as such. --7-- Tarzan (^2) His fate is with Laura. I expect him to fall soon. --8-- Allie (-) Outside of the minority. Not a good place. May work into an alliance with Ashley, but who knows. --9-- Julia (^1) Basically inactive and it's leaving everyone wary of her. |

=Round 6= Merge and all hell broke loose in a crazy tribal! Also finally got to see some dust shifted on Vireo. --1-- Jeff (-) He is currently the top dog, as he was on Vireo... but others are making a run at it. It is very, very likely he will be dropping next round. --2-- Ashley (-)/Chris (^1) Oh my god. Seriously. Chris has better set up his game, and has a lot of social power right now. HOWEVER, Ashley has been matching that, and keeping up enough to not lose her position, so they are SHARING a spot, this late int he game. One will stand, one will fall, or both will work together and turn this game around! --4-- Kel (^1) Kel's sole purpose in this game is to be in the most crucial position without ever realizing it. While yes, he doesn't realize the weight he has in the game, he does however have some really good bonds and a strong loyalty which has moved him into the middle-tier Vireos... a non-threat, but not a target. He has the most stable game right now, after so long of being the easy target. It is literally one of the the most interesting story lines going on this season and I'm curious to see where it goes. --5-- Allie (^3) A bit light, I guess, but she's working on a strategy for her to get farther, even if the odds are impossible. If there was anyone who could do it, I think she has a shot at it. --6-- Zane (v2) Oh my god Zane nearly imploded this round. He was TOO convincing in his flipping to Elaenia, which made him enemies out of them. He is now being bussed for doing so. It's leaving him in a weak state of game, but with the potential to go farther. --7-- Laura (v1) Sometimes you just need to learn when to kiss ass. Laura's not the type to do that. Voting for Ashley in the revote was an awful idea and now she is the easiest target in the game. --8-- Julia (^1) This is a player rankings. Just because she's the player I consider doing the worst, doesn't mean she's a target. :/ |

=Round 7= Yeah I cheated. Jeff was taken out, and the game got flipped. Decided to wait halfway through Round 8 to do this. --1-- Chris (^1) The new king of the mountain and the biggest threat. Not as under the radar as Jeff was. He is, however, at the center of the game now and everyone is freaking out about it. --2-- Ashley (-) Shaken up, but not stirred. Ashley still has quite a bit of pull in the game and no target thanks to Chris. I predict she will win this season.--3-- Zane (^3) Aaaand linked to Chris, but in a good way? People wanted Chris out, but he won immunity so they COULD have voted Zane out, but he's not the target, which means he does have some good game going for him. --4-- Kel (^1) His name has been tossed around as a boot, but I don't really believe it at this point. He's been a target from Round 2, and he's still here. --5-- Laura (^2) Allie's drop was Allie's fault and Laura was along for the ride. However, Laura has a bit of a lifeline with Ashley, so we'll see? --6-- Allie (v1) Got in good with Chris, but got cocky and relied on that this round. And given she's totally being blindsided (atleast at this point), her game's at an end. --7-- Julia (^1) Not being voted out because goat. |

=Round 8= Oh hey! Doing this in the same day, when this have actually settled and it's pretty clear what's going on now! Excited to say... this has changed. --1-- Ashley (^1) A powerhouse socially and not the target right now. She has Kel and Laura in her pocket easily, which means whether or not she stays on the top... relies on the person on the bottom. --2-- Kel (^2) Look at how far he's come! I mean SERIOUSLY. Dude's got some serious angels over his shoulder. He's been a target since Round 2, and yet here he is... in an alliance with the person I believe has the most power in the game! I see his route to the end. --3-- Chris (v2) Oh man. Taking out Allie is a mixed blessing. On one hand, Allie can't hurt him. On the other, Ashley has taken control of the game, and he still has the blood on his hands. Still doing exceptionally well, but is on the fast track to A) not winning or B) Being eliminated as a threat. --4-- Laura (^1) Laura's Fiesty, I'll give her that. Last of the Elaenia's, it is doubtful she'll make the end. However, I could see her linking onto Ashley. --5-- Zane (v2) Sigh... he had a lot going for him, but he's been reduced to Chris' lackey. Just a vote for Chris, with no game outside of that. --6-- Julia (^1) Julia is... unimportant and important. One one hand, she's a wildcard and should have been taken out much, MUCH earlier. On the other hand, getting this late in the game makes the weight of her vote matter more, and with each round it becomes more clear how valuable she is. I think the fate of this game will be decided by whom gets Julia on their side. |

=Round 9= Annnd Julia left as a threat after a season of uselessness. Interesting. --1-- Ashley (-) In control. Respected. --2-- Kel (-) Love how he's playing and how he approaches thought of the finale. I don't think he'll win unless he makes the end with Zane though, due to not being respected as much as others. --3-- Laura (^1) Not the target this round, but soon. --4-- Chris (v1) Sigh. What is gonna happen to Chris? I don't even know now. But he no longer has any power in the game. --5-- Zane (-) He's the goat at this point. But will he be sacrificed or carried? Pretty even either way, but depends on if Chris leaves. |

=Round 10= ...Mother FUCKER. --1-- Chris (^3) His game should have been over. Ashley should've not been braindead. He's easily the best case for winning. --2-- Laura (^1) Chris' only competition. --3-- Zane (^2) Shouldn't have survived that round. Suppose he's got a shot, huh? --4-- Ashley (v3) Chris' bitch. ._. After a decision like that, her game's not gonna be respected. |
