My confessional is as good a place as any to start, and actually mine & Chet's partner thread is a fairly decent snapshot of the game.
The tribe board link and individual passwords can be found in the Host area if you wanna see the inside of some of the pre-merge confeshes.
Anywho.. Jeff gave me the go-ahead to link you to last years board, but since the first three rounds are missing I'll fill you in on what I remember up to that point;
Tribe set-up is two tribes of eight, the first is Baru who are all brand new players to the Stranded series - these are all the Young tribe from Nicaragua's Season; Sash, Shannon, Chase, Alina, PurpleKelly, LimpyKelly, Benry, Fabio & yours truly.
The second is Peluang, who are all second-chance players from previous Seasons. You had Taj, CaoBoi, Darrah, Paloma, Peih-Gee, Chet, Joel, KrazyKathy & Redneck James. Each had either been robbed or shown serious potential in an earlier season and was invited back for a second chance - a noobs vs vets season if you will.
Apart from the returning players, the second big twist was that one player from each tribe was made a partner with one from the other, so you will see a set of Partner forums where you could communicate cross-tribally - Chet and mine is a good example, because we literally only used that thread instead of ever PMing. There are additional parts to that twist but you'll read it over there.
So anyways, to sum up the first three rounds, Sash & Limpy had both been booted from my beach due to not not really turning up (inactive first boots, see?) and on Taj's side Redneck James had left. I don't remember much about her side's early dynamics (she will be in to reminisce no doubt) but afaik she was the HBIC and running the show - everyone thought they were allied with her while in reality there was a true majority, and she had a second alliance on the bounce that believed they were in charge but weren't. And she has their HII at this point.
Over on my side the web of alliances had kinda been caught up in a lie (well I was anyways :D) so there was a massive fallout and public bitchfest :D which ended up with Chase and Alina scapegoated into a srs minority. (though Chase had our idol, so I made sure everyone knew it :P )
Then after round three another twist was revealed - a one-off chance to mutiny sides - which was also the night the server crashed. At the Mutiny Chase & Alina jumped to Peluang, quickly followed by Shannon who thought he must be suddenly bottom of the totem, while Chet and Darrah jumped the opposite way back to our side.
Which brings us up to date on the lost board, you can follow the rest yourself;
http://z13.invisionfree.com/TiomanIsland/index.php? is the main Island, all threads are open in there.
The two tribe beaches are here & here;
http://z13.invisionfree.com/Baru/index.php?
http://z13.invisionfree.com/Peluang/index.php?
But accessing these is a little trickier as they were never opened up, but if you want to access these (you do) for the pre-merge action & TC etc., you'll need to log in as one of the players - and there is a list of usernames/passwords in the admin area of the main beach. And then again as each player if you want to read each's confessional.
Last thing, it's a different type of board so make sure to set the sub-forums to all topics since 'the beginning' instead of 'last 30 days' as you navigate around the place like so, or you won't see some of the threads.
And you can click the main header to get back out to the main page at any time.
