OK so we're heading into the third week and things seem to be going alright. I've solidified my place in the men's dominant alliance. As far as I know it consists of me, Shane, Daryl, Merle and Morgan. We originally planned to have 6, but since no-one else came forward as being particularly active or useful we seem to have stuck with five. Carl is gone now meaning that there's only 9 of us left on the tribe so now we have power
I've spoken with Dale a little too and he seems like a cool guy and doesn't seem to be tied to anyone in particular so I'll be keeping him close too I think. Carl being inactive was a bit of a dream really because it made the first vote so easy. I think if we have to go back to tribal again it will be Rick who goes because he doesn't show too often (he missed both challenges so far). He appears to be stepping up his activity now, but it might be too little too late. We'll see anyway.
I've tried to talk to the ladies a little, well Patricia mainly, but she has gone rather quiet since the game started. I might try and open up some communications with Maggie using my position as her father lol. I shall keep you posted.
