TOO MANY GODDAMN PEOPLE!!
I'm going to follow this up with a video confessional, but some quick thoughts:
The last ORG I played in had a setup like this, too. No tribes, everyone able to talk to each other, promise of tribes being formed on the night of the first challenge. In that game, I spent a lot of time making connections, locking in a few minor agreements, all in anticipation of forming tribes with at least a couple people I've made nice with, and a promise of being in good shape at a merge or shuffle. In that game people talked with each other a LOT and they saw what I was doing. It cost me.
Not this time. I'm keeping my connections a lot looser, with the exception of a couple people that I'm pulling in close. Lay a little groundwork and move on.
I'm... uncertain of the wisdom of letting a couple minors play this game. Don't get me wrong, kids are fucking durable little creatures, I don't think they're going to be broken by this experience or anything. But the people in this game, especially, are utterly unafraid of giving voice to whatever shocking bullshit they decide to throw out there, to make them stand out. Discussions about drug abuse, fucked up sexual experiences and fantasies... sure, these kids have probably heard it before, but it's just not appropriate. They're parents can make the call for them - that shouldn't be our job (or our lauded host's job).
OK, I have some more. That'll go into the video going up later tonight.

My take is their parents made the choice by allowing them to go on Skype calls with random strangers XD.

Sandy, I get that, but I think it's a cop out. If the same parents said it was OK to go to a party, and there's drinking at that party, I'm not going to offer the kid a beer. And, as host of that party, I'd consider it my responsibility to make sure the party doesn't get out of hand, or that the kids are sent safely home.
In essence, this is an adult party. It might not be with a different cast - it might be just a party where adults are present. But, with this cast, this party is more of a bacchanal.
At the end of the day, though, it's not MY party. I'm just a guest. So all I can do is moderate my own behavior.
Now, back to the game. Video uploading is being a pain in my ass.... but it's coming.

Goddamn that took too long. I need a better way to make these happen, so it doesn't take me 24 hours to post what I film.
This is just basic strategy. I'll go for greater entertainment value next time.

Hey! Your video is set to private so we aren't able to watch it! If you set it as unlisted we'll be able to see it, and random people won't be able to find it!

I set it to Unlisted.... OK, checking it now.
(15 seconds later)
You're right, it was set to private. It's fixed now.
