Kathy! Very, very nice Seems loyal too, and considerate. Whatever happens in this game, I'll be thankful for the friendship we made

[Alicia Calaway]

I'm having a lot of trouble now since the past vote trusting a lot of people. Wow did a lot of rumors start flying. When I say rumor I mean it's something I hear second or third, and even fourth hand that people have said someone else said. So I don't know if any of it is true and tend not to believe it. It does make me doubt those I have told things to - so there are a lot of those people. I have tried to ask some and when they don't reply then I don't know what to think - all I know is - then I hear more stuff about me..

Your statement gives me the impression that you've been hearing rumors about yourself, and that I am the source of those rumors. Am I right? But I can swear to God that I have never said one word against you either inside or outside of this game, I'm not sure if you believe me when I say that, and if you do not, I'm not sure how I can make you believe me. I like and respect you too much to do such a thing. I have also been hearing rumors about me that are not true as well, but I am not entirely sure who is behind them, although I have my suspicions. But I'd never spread untrue rumors about a person in the game, whether I like them or not.

Alicia, I got to know you in this game and truly have enjoyed talking to you on aIM and believe our friendship was and is genuine. When we mix a game in that and are not on the same side in voting now it's obvious, and you had a lot of friends you wanted to play with that was obvious by your posts. But I did not fit in with that I think. I felt used by you the last 2 votes. Didn't let you use me, but felt used - like you decide who you are voting for and then figure out what to say to me or ask me in voting. Our last talk - when you said "I didn't mean to try to control your vote" I didn't like that - it sounded very confident but in a way that left me feeling put down - stupid?.

I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. I didn't mean to. I guess what I said did not come out the way I intended it to mean.

When people have asked me who I think is a threat in the game - I have said you (also Silas). That's not to get you out, it's just what I think - a threat to win the game. Not a personal threat. No one agrees or sees you that way but if asked I will say what I currently think - I'm sure you do too.

I was most worried getting to know you in the game and adding you to talk on aIM because I worry when the game gets in between being friends and so for me I am worried you and I are at that point. i will always like you - we have a lot in common and i have enjoyed talking to you, I would never want to hurt you or be hurt so that's why I hate games. Would rather have you as a friend then play a game with you.

If it sounds like I am thinking of leaving I am, or thinking or ways to stay that make me feel comfortable. There are others who I feel uncomfortable with now, too so this is not all about you. But I was not close to them.

You love talking on messengers I do not, that's how we are different. I want to thank you for always asking how I am and remembering things I have told you - talking about real life and sharing that - I love that you can do that and play and talk about the game. i think it may be best if we don't talk about the game - I stopped asking you about votes but you have come to me though not really discussing - I don't feel enough trust to do so.

Maybe that might be best, not talking about the game; I do not want to throw away our friendship because of a game. I feel very comfortable chatting with you, and it's rare that I find someone whom I can talk to very easily and can be honest with them. I do not want to lose this friendship, I will be very sad if that happens.

The game is no fun for me now. So I have some thinking to do.

It certainly isn't as fun as it was at first.

Hope everything is ok with you, and I'll always be your friend.

Who is spreading untrue rumors? I think it's a low way to get people out of the game.

This game isn't very much fun anymore

---------
I promised her not to confront that person about it (Kathy??! It couldn't be, could it?!?! She's such a dear..) but I never said I wouldn't tell my friends.
