[2013-10-05 2:50:14 AM] David Oberholzer: Do you trust me, Joe?
[2013-10-05 2:52:23 AM] Joe Purcell: I'm still a bit shaken over what happened last round, but, I'd like to think I can... why?
[2013-10-05 2:52:41 AM] David Oberholzer: Understandable.
[2013-10-05 2:52:56 AM] David Oberholzer: Look, I know people think I'm full of shit, that I'm a twisty little bastard.
[2013-10-05 2:53:29 AM] David Oberholzer: But the fact is, I work DAMNED HARD not to lie to people
[2013-10-05 2:54:07 AM] David Oberholzer: And I'm starting to be concerned that that image is going to cost me this round.
[2013-10-05 2:54:42 AM] Joe Purcell: Well.
[2013-10-05 2:55:25 AM] Joe Purcell: I certainly have no idea how the vote is going to go this round and I have a feeling I'm going to continue to not know moments up until the vote.
[2013-10-05 2:56:04 AM] Joe Purcell: But no one has, thus far, mentioned you as being a target. Or anyone, I guess. Basically I haven't spoken with anyone about the vote. Lmao.
[2013-10-05 2:56:12 AM] Joe Purcell: And you have done your best to be honest with me, so, I'll give you credit for that.
[2013-10-05 2:56:27 AM] David Oberholzer: I appreciate that, Joe.
[2013-10-05 2:56:36 AM] David Oberholzer: So, the reverse question: Can I trust you?
[2013-10-05 2:56:50 AM] David Oberholzer: I ask, because I'm starting to really feel I need a new Best Friend.
[2013-10-05 2:57:24 AM] Joe Purcell: I am pretty much loyal to a fault.
[2013-10-05 2:57:36 AM] Joe Purcell: So, yes.
[2013-10-05 2:58:33 AM] David Oberholzer: OK. Ricky's sledge-hammering his way through this game. I want to trust him and work with him, but every time I turn around he's doing something to capture the spotlight, and cast me in the shade.
[2013-10-05 2:59:00 AM] David Oberholzer: But it's not him I'm really worried about.
[2013-10-05 2:59:05 AM] Joe Purcell: Okay.
[2013-10-05 2:59:29 AM] David Oberholzer: What I'm really worried about is the deals he's making that are likely to blow up in his - and therefore MY - face.
[2013-10-05 2:59:57 AM] Joe Purcell: Yeah. Well I imagine he's made a few.
[2013-10-05 3:00:05 AM] Joe Purcell: Was it his idea to blindside me last round?
[2013-10-05 3:00:13 AM] David Oberholzer: Completely.
[2013-10-05 3:00:27 AM] David Oberholzer: And it's because he was trying to spare Animal.
[2013-10-05 3:00:33 AM] David Oberholzer: And that's his new buddy.
[2013-10-05 3:01:01 AM] David Oberholzer: ALSO, he knows that you and I talk.
[2013-10-05 3:01:23 AM] David Oberholzer: So he tries to separate us - constantly reminding me of how shady you are.
[2013-10-05 3:01:47 AM] David Oberholzer: I roll my eyes in private and tell him, "well, yes, of course" and let it out the other side.
[2013-10-05 3:02:06 AM] David Oberholzer: But damnit, I can't play Ricky's game to the end and have any chance of winning this thing.
[2013-10-05 3:02:51 AM] Joe Purcell: He would definitely stand a good chance of winning.
[2013-10-05 3:02:57 AM] David Oberholzer: Yes.
[2013-10-05 3:03:31 AM] Joe Purcell: He's charismatic and I think he gets along with a lot of people.
[2013-10-05 3:03:52 AM] David Oberholzer: Usually not at first, but damn, that kid has some twisted charm
[2013-10-05 3:04:33 AM] David Oberholzer: OK, so, piece of info.
[2013-10-05 3:04:47 AM] David Oberholzer: Ricky and Brookie were chatting just a few minutes ago.
[2013-10-05 3:04:55 AM] David Oberholzer: Brookie is asking him to vote her out of the game.
[2013-10-05 3:05:28 AM] David Oberholzer: I know a lot of people would be fine seeing her leave, but I also know a lot of people would consider it a ruse.
[2013-10-05 3:05:53 AM] Joe Purcell: That's... interesting?
[2013-10-05 3:05:54 AM] Joe Purcell:
[2013-10-05 3:06:00 AM] Joe Purcell: Did she provide a reason?
[2013-10-05 3:06:28 AM] David Oberholzer: Apparently, she just has no time for the game - that it's an inconvenience - but since she's Sandy's friend, she doesn't want to disrespect him and his game by quitting.
[2013-10-05 3:06:43 AM] Joe Purcell: Interesting...
[2013-10-05 3:07:42 AM] David Oberholzer: But here's the problem. Until Ricky starts spreading that word himself, my mentioning it to you will cause a shitstorm between Ricky and I, and he might try to make a move against ME instead.
[2013-10-05 3:08:16 AM] David Oberholzer: Aside from Animal, I just don't know who else he's got reporting to him.
[2013-10-05 3:08:29 AM] Joe Purcell: Are he and Jedda close any longer?
[2013-10-05 3:08:45 AM] David Oberholzer: Yes.
[2013-10-05 3:09:06 AM] David Oberholzer: And Jedda may still be pissed at me that I didn't give him the Amulet last round
[2013-10-05 3:09:21 AM] David Oberholzer: (not that I ever even hinted he might get it. He just assumed)
[2013-10-05 3:11:33 AM] David Oberholzer: Anyway, you can see that I need to be doing something different. And we've both worked hard to build trust with each other.
[2013-10-05 3:11:57 AM] David Oberholzer: It may not be perfect, yet, but we've put a lot of effort into it, and I'd like to see us both be rewarded for it.
[2013-10-05 3:13:09 AM] Joe Purcell: Mmmhmm. Understood.
[2013-10-05 3:13:32 AM] Joe Purcell: Sorry if I seem nonresponsive or whatever. I'm just really tired. And have to sleep very soon. I work in just over five hours...
[2013-10-05 3:13:49 AM] David Oberholzer: I'm getting up in just over five hours myself.
[2013-10-05 3:14:40 AM] David Oberholzer: Basically, this: I want to survive this vote, and I'm not sure that I will. Since I'll be gone this whole weekend, I'm not going to be able to do anything to save myself.
[2013-10-05 3:15:09 AM] David Oberholzer: I want to work with you. And, just putting it out there, I want to work with Brenda, too. I don't know if you two are talking, but there it is.
[2013-10-05 3:15:59 AM] David Oberholzer: Help keep me safe, and on Sunday night when I get home (hopefully in time for the live TC), or on Monday, whenever you're available, let's talk about how to take control of this game.
[2013-10-05 3:16:34 AM] Joe Purcell: Okay. *Nod* I like Brenda. I just never get to speak with her very often because she's always in hiding.
[2013-10-05 3:16:48 AM] David Oberholzer: Perma-invis, yeah.
[2013-10-05 3:17:09 AM] David Oberholzer: But if she's on, she'll respond, or she'll respond when she DOES get on.
[2013-10-05 3:19:02 AM] Joe Purcell: Yeah. I was kinda speaking with her throughout this afternoon.
[2013-10-05 3:19:03 AM] Joe Purcell: Lol.
[2013-10-05 3:19:18 AM] David Oberholzer: Nice.
[2013-10-05 3:19:59 AM] David Oberholzer: Joe, I mean, seriously, I can't tell you how relieved I am that you can find some trust for me. I'm going to do all I can to make it worth your while.
[2013-10-05 3:20:21 AM] David Oberholzer: ::tells pillow to shut the hell up, I'll be there soon::
[2013-10-05 3:21:52 AM] Joe Purcell: If anyone mentions your name, I'll do what I can to deflect it off of you.
[2013-10-05 3:22:25 AM] David Oberholzer: That's fair. But don't expose yourself. Don't risk your own game.
[2013-10-05 3:22:57 AM] David Oberholzer: Gah.
[2013-10-05 3:23:04 AM] David Oberholzer: I'm needing sleep, like now.
[2013-10-05 3:23:22 AM] David Oberholzer: I'll be logged in for about 10 minutes, but then I have to crash
[2013-10-05 3:24:27 AM] Joe Purcell: Yeah don't worry. I won't be over the top about it.
[2013-10-05 3:24:55 AM] David Oberholzer: LOL! Can you even DO over the top!?
[2013-10-05 3:25:06 AM] David Oberholzer: But yeah, I know you get it.
[2013-10-05 3:26:32 AM] David Oberholzer: OK, I'm out
[2013-10-05 3:26:51 AM] Joe Purcell: Alright.
[2013-10-05 3:26:59 AM] Joe Purcell: Have a goodnight! And apparently see you in two days? Lol.
[2013-10-05 2:52:23 AM] Joe Purcell: I'm still a bit shaken over what happened last round, but, I'd like to think I can... why?
[2013-10-05 2:52:41 AM] David Oberholzer: Understandable.
[2013-10-05 2:52:56 AM] David Oberholzer: Look, I know people think I'm full of shit, that I'm a twisty little bastard.
