clauderainsrmWelcome Asaga. It's been awhile since I've seen most of you.
Have a seat and let's catch up.
halfshellvenus - The old Asaga was on a roll in challenges. How big of a shock was it to you when you saw the tribe shake-up? is there anyone from the old tribe that you wish had stuck around?
adoptedwriter - On the other hand, you've been to the last 3 tribal councils in a row. You have a different tribe, but the same result. How frustrating is that? Do you think that being the only member of the old Luzon makes you vulnerable tonight?
wolfden - Its a tribe of 5. There is nowhere for anyone to hide anymore. What do you think should be the criteria for deciding who goes home tonight?
Megatronix - OR, is it a matter of "there are 4 original Asagas and 1 original Luzon? Easy decision!" Does original tribal loyalty play into this, or is "New Tribe, New Game"?
lawchicky819 - What about idols? There hasn't been one played since the first tribal council. Has anyone been talking about the possibility that they are out there, and the impact that might have on your vote?
lawchicky819 - Let's circle right back to your entry. What did you like the most about twisting expectations? Did you write this entry or did Lord Wasley? ;)
megatronix - At what point in your thought process did you go with the musical bridge as the angle for your piece? With your own jazz band experience, do you have your own The Girl from Ipanema-related story? The story is framed between two sets of "car trouble" (Abigail's and then Vanessa's) - Abigail was able to ask her sister for a ride in the same way Madeline asked for the chance to sing. Whereas Vanessa wasn't able to deal with a situation out of her own control (a flat). What do you think that says about asking the uncomfortable question and its role in finding opportunities?
wolfden - Breaking News: "Dream inspires Idol entry!" You said you dreamed about the story, but not about the specific characters. Was it just a bridge explosion or a gun running operation? What was it about the idea that made you want to write it as a small town newspaper article, with a pull back reveal at the end of the characters reading it? What did you find challenging/rewarding about that format?
adoptedwriter - Obviously, the timing of this entry hit me in a personal way, so I'll skip the bit about the content, other than to ask - How lucky are you to have been able to spend 18 1/2 years with her? It's truly a gift. What was it that made you decide to take this along "the rainbow bridge" route?
halfshellvenus - "A new setting, new opportunities" could also describe where you are with the new Asaga. How are you about embracing change in general or do you find yourself stuck under a bridge doing what you've been doing forever? How big does the goat need to be in order to shift you out of your own unproductive habits? Are the goats methods justifiable? They seem to have gotten a great response from readers, but at several points it's mentioned that they are "just as disagreeable" as trolls.
Jo-Jo ends up leaving his home, for some (new) grass... will he end up "getting back" to being someone who can belong? ;)
Seriously though, going from "a bridge you must cross" to trolls is an obvious path, but how did you decide that this was a particular story you wanted to tell? You've written about trolls before, what about them is so interesting to you?
adoptedwriter - There are probably some people sitting at home right now, screaming at their computers. The numbers are stacked against you. What have you been doing to prove to Asaga that you are the person they need to keep?
lawchicky819 - I'm just as sure that there are folx looking at how well Asaga did these past few weeks, and the makeup of the tribes and wondering if members of the tribe threw the challenge to keep their old tribe mates safe. Is that a reasonable question or knowing these people, is that something that no one in this group even considered?
wolfden - How have things changed since the tribe shakeup? Do you think that it's helped anyone's position in the tribe or just put a bigger target on specific people?
halfshellvenus - For you personally, what is "the greater good" for this tribe? Loyalty or staying strong for the challenges? At what point does that switch?
megatronix - I'll give you the last word - what is it that Asaga needs to remember before they walk down that long torch lit path and decides someone's future in this game?

With that said, it's time to vote!
