Mike Bahooski: (10:06:21 PM) Howday Adam!
Adam Levine: (10:07:31 PM) hey mike!
Adam Levine: (10:07:35 PM) what's up with you?
Mike Bahooski: (10:09:29 PM) Not a whole lot, looking forward to getting a good night sleep tonight, for once, since the game has started. haha. Good job on the PoV btw, sorry you came up short. Would it have mattered if you didn't get a few wrong?
Adam Levine: (10:12:33 PM) no, i didnt know anybody else
Adam Levine: (10:12:38 PM) i was surprised!
Adam Levine: (10:12:46 PM) i thought people would know more
Adam Levine: (10:13:56 PM) im jk
Mike Bahooski: (10:13:56 PM) Even after the results were posted, I was like...who is that??? to half of them, haha! Nicki getting 26 is unreal
Adam Levine: (10:14:04 PM) i asked everyone i knew if they recognized anybody
Mike Bahooski: (10:14:10 PM) haha
Adam Levine: (10:14:12 PM) i knew about 10 myself lol
Mike Bahooski: (10:14:35 PM) I knew Mr. Peanut, who would've guessed that he is a star?
Adam Levine: (10:15:24 PM) lol i thought it was funny he was in
Mike Bahooski: (10:16:29 PM) and have you ever heard of a HoH disappearing? where did Noah go?
Mike Bahooski: (10:16:43 PM) send out a search party or something
Adam Levine: (10:18:41 PM) yeah that was weird
Adam Levine: (10:18:46 PM) maybe he got too comfortable
Adam Levine: (10:23:25 PM) idk how to say this without sounding suspicious or whatever
Adam Levine: (10:23:35 PM) but i wanna work with you
Mike Bahooski: (10:26:44 PM) haha, that's cool, yeah I wouldn't say it's suspicious, haha even if you are eager, I take that as a compliment. I think it would be great if we can work together.
Adam Levine: (10:27:11 PM) i guess forward was the word i was looking for
Mike Bahooski: (10:29:07 PM) haha, that's alright, but yeah, I definitely have noticed you are an awesome person so far, on top of feeling like you are pretty good at the challenges
Mike Bahooski: (10:29:37 PM) I'm sorry we haven't gotten to talk much more before this
Adam Levine: (10:30:13 PM) no when you sent me that message
Adam Levine: (10:30:35 PM) thats when i thought i wanna work with that guy
Adam Levine: (10:30:41 PM) you think before you act
Adam Levine: (10:30:49 PM) and you get along with basically everyone
Adam Levine: (10:30:53 PM) you're a likeable guy
Mike Bahooski: (10:32:40 PM) thanks man, I try and not stir the waters too much, I mean when push comes to shove sometimes you have to get dirty but I like talking with people, and I feel like people are more likely to not stab you in the back if you are good to them
Mike Bahooski: (10:33:01 PM) hey, just thought, what happens with nominations if Noah doesn't sign on to replace Lindsay?
Adam Levine: (10:33:35 PM) second strike...
Adam Levine: (10:33:39 PM) not sure really!
Adam Levine: (10:33:45 PM) it might be in the rules somewhere
Mike Bahooski: (10:35:27 PM) Hmm, just skimmed and didn't see much, maybe the Host would have to make a ruling at that time?
Mike Bahooski: (10:35:45 PM) Or maybe HoH gets auto evicted...that would be epic
Adam Levine: (10:35:53 PM) that would be AWESOME!
Adam Levine: (10:36:00 PM) no offense to noah
Mike Bahooski: (10:38:00 PM) haha, yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that happen, but I don't know any other way of it happening. It would look great on the final Voting History page
Adam Levine: (10:41:07 PM) most definitely lol
Mike Bahooski: (10:42:12 PM) On some of these up coming challenges if it's warranted, we should try and work together, specially to try and keep each other in the A-list so that we can get that extra vote. I figure if two people can work together, and win opposing HoHs then there is nothing preventing them from getting the extra votes.
Adam Levine: (10:44:47 PM) right
Adam Levine: (10:44:53 PM) how often do the lists change again?
Mike Bahooski: (10:45:21 PM) every HoH
Mike Bahooski: (10:45:42 PM) who ever is the HoH gets bumped to the top and everyone drops down one
Adam Levine: (10:45:59 PM) does the veto comp come into play?
Adam Levine: (10:46:04 PM) /reward challenges
Mike Bahooski: (10:47:28 PM) not really, unless that is the particular reward, for instance this reward challenge had the "bump up 1" reward
Adam Levine: (10:47:54 PM) right
Adam Levine: (10:48:01 PM) ok makes sense
Mike Bahooski: (10:49:19 PM) I'm sure there will be a reward that gives someone the ability to switch themselves into the A-list from winning the reward challenge or something like that
Adam Levine: (10:51:30 PM) oh i bet
Adam Levine: (10:51:50 PM) the list is a great way for reward challenges to not be a waste of time
Mike Bahooski: (10:52:43 PM) yeah, exactly, someone who might have thrown a challenge before would probably be less likely to do it now. I don't know anyone that doesn't want to be on the A-list! haha
Adam Levine: (10:53:24 PM) lol yeah its great!
Adam Levine: (10:53:33 PM) its a lot of pressure to try and stay there
Mike Bahooski: (10:53:53 PM) yeah, exactly, specially if you have a target on your back for what ever reason
Adam Levine: (10:55:01 PM) yeah, but targets on your back turn into jury votes in the end
Adam Levine: (10:55:12 PM) so its not that bad to be targeted
Mike Bahooski: (10:56:05 PM) that's so true, I've never seen someone win by slippin through the whole game
Adam Levine: (10:58:51 PM) do you think there's any inactive people in our cast?
Mike Bahooski: (11:01:51 PM) not really, like I've at least been able to talk to everyone one, and from what I've seen from the host, it looks like everyone participated in the reward challenge with. There are a lot of people that i don't seen on IM as much as I want, but I guess there isn't anything I can do about that. How about you, is there anyone you haven't really been connecting with?
Adam Levine: (11:02:43 PM) i would say christie
Adam Levine: (11:02:54 PM) i havent heard anything from her really
Adam Levine: (11:03:15 PM) and noah i guess with this comp lol
Mike Bahooski: (11:04:38 PM) yeah, true, and I have only talked with Christie once, and we really didn't connect too much, it was a short hello, how are you, good bye type deal
Adam Levine: (11:05:06 PM) right
Adam Levine: (11:05:15 PM) i bet shes more invested somewhere else
Adam Levine: (11:05:23 PM) b/c she is online at times
Adam Levine: (11:05:29 PM) it just seems minimal
Adam Levine: (11:05:36 PM) like in competing
Adam Levine: (11:05:40 PM) and convos
Adam Levine: (11:05:42 PM) very minimal
Mike Bahooski: (11:06:25 PM) yeah, I haven't even really seen her posting on the boards either, like we are posting all the time I feel. I'll have to check out her post count and see how she is doing?
Adam Levine: (11:07:27 PM) lol you give people the benefit of the doubt
Adam Levine: (11:07:35 PM) how often do you play ORGs?
Mike Bahooski: (11:09:14 PM) not very often at all, like not at all, like this is only my 3 ORG, and I'm playing in this one because I've played in another game for this host a while ago and he asked me if I wanted to play
Mike Bahooski: (11:10:03 PM) it's probably my greatest weakness is my immaturity in game play, but I've picked up a lot of things from watching a few and in the couple I've been in already
Mike Bahooski: (11:10:26 PM) I'd love to host some day, but I'll have to play a lot more before I could ever do that
Mike Bahooski: (11:10:38 PM) how about you? what's your ORG experience?
Adam Levine: (11:10:44 PM) its good you recognize where you can improve on
Adam Levine: (11:10:55 PM) i think this is the 5th org i played
Adam Levine: (11:11:24 PM) but i have extra motivation playing as adam
Mike Bahooski: (11:11:31 PM) oh yeah, there is always something I can improve on, and really I love just competeing in the challenges, I just want to constantly be doing challenges
Adam Levine: (11:11:35 PM) maroon 5 is my fav band EVER!
Adam Levine: (11:11:46 PM) lol yeah!
Adam Levine: (11:11:50 PM) i freaking love competitions
Mike Bahooski: (11:12:30 PM) haha, I enjoy Maroon 5 a lot too, I'm not hardcore at all, but I do like them, they are in the stream of music I like
Mike Bahooski: (11:13:28 PM) someone told me I should get into BB Warzone if I want to play another good series, I was also looking at recycled but don't know if I like it that much
Adam Levine: (11:15:26 PM) yeah those are the ones im familiar with
Adam Levine: (11:15:36 PM) i think the hosts know/play with each other
Adam Levine: (11:17:16 PM) the good thing about recycled is that they do episodes
Mike Bahooski: (11:17:21 PM) yeah, I feel like despite how many games there are out there, it feels like the ORG community is actually a small world. it always seems like a whole bunch of people know one another at the end of a season
Mike Bahooski: (11:17:42 PM) yeah, I've never been in a game with episodes before
Mike Bahooski: (11:17:46 PM) is it nice?
Adam Levine: (11:17:51 PM) its pretty neat
Adam Levine: (11:18:06 PM) to see what was important enoguh for you to say in your dr
Adam Levine: (11:18:13 PM) see who's name was brought up a lot
Adam Levine: (11:18:28 PM) and that's where everyone acted like HBIC lol
Mike Bahooski: (11:20:45 PM) so it kind of adds an entirely new dimension to the game? that's pretty cool though, it would be some good reading
Adam Levine: (11:21:44 PM) yeah
Adam Levine: (11:22:04 PM) it would help you further develop your bb game!
Mike Bahooski: (11:24:03 PM) that's what I'm hoping the moment that I really start playing more games, I'm going to develop a better resume with different games, also might play a couple survivor games too some day
Adam Levine: (11:24:39 PM) well i definitely wanna be here to help you
Adam Levine: (11:25:05 PM) i got two wins under my belt, so i think im somewhat knowledgeable of this game
Mike Bahooski: (11:25:25 PM) awesome, that's not too bad of a track record!
Adam Levine: (11:25:40 PM) i think you have great potential, so i really wanna see you succeed in this series!
Mike Bahooski: (11:27:17 PM) thanks man, that would be sweet if we can go far together, specially because you've been really cool to talk to and I like the way you think too, it makes it a lot easier to talk to someone like you
Adam Levine: (11:27:48 PM) yeah, and i think you're a stand up guy
Adam Levine: (11:28:14 PM) part of this game is reading people
Adam Levine: (11:28:27 PM) and my instincts are telling me to trust you
Mike Bahooski: (11:28:48 PM) thanks, but what if I told you I'm too lazy to stand, I don't think sit down guys are too bad either, haha
Adam Levine: (11:28:57 PM) haha
Mike Bahooski: (11:29:39 PM) thanks, I get the same vibe, and I'm usually pretty good with that, I've definitely been able to feel when things are going wrong before, plus there is no reason at all for us to be targetting one another
Mike Bahooski: (11:30:01 PM) and I love having someone to talk to about noms and so for if either one of us become HoH
Adam Levine: (11:30:57 PM) yeah i just want to talk to someone where i can spill my guts and get some feedback
Adam Levine: (11:31:18 PM) i already see some alliances to work on
Adam Levine: (11:31:26 PM) as in alliances in progress
Mike Bahooski: (11:32:29 PM) definitely man, I haven't caught too many eyes on that, that's one thing I haven't probably asked too many people is if they have been working with anyone else or if they have any options of anyone else
Mike Bahooski: (11:32:45 PM) who all do you see working together thus far? or who should we be worried about?
Adam Levine: (11:33:01 PM) ok let me catch you up on what i know
Adam Levine: (11:33:10 PM) i'm from the recycled series
Adam Levine: (11:33:49 PM) but so is bradley, britney, dianna, johnny, and nicki
Mike Bahooski: (11:33:52 PM) oh okay, do you know anyone else from Recycled>
Mike Bahooski: (11:33:55 PM) oh okay
Adam Levine: (11:34:06 PM) but don't worry, theres not an alliance between us
Adam Levine: (11:34:10 PM) at least not from my end
Mike Bahooski: (11:34:15 PM) so far of which they all seem very nice
Mike Bahooski: (11:34:50 PM) that's cool, and even if there was I would understand, but I also understand wanting to start from scratch too
Adam Levine: (11:35:08 PM) yeah i wanted to start from scratch really bad
Adam Levine: (11:35:16 PM) i shoulda changed my sn lol
Mike Bahooski: (11:35:24 PM) haha
Mike Bahooski: (11:35:29 PM) I know what you mean
Adam Levine: (11:35:35 PM) but moving on
Mike Bahooski: (11:35:42 PM) that would've been the best way I guess
Adam Levine: (11:36:19 PM) since there are episodes in recycled, you could 'research' your opponents if you'd like
Adam Levine: (11:36:28 PM) adam= james r.
Adam Levine: (11:36:32 PM) bradley= brian
Adam Levine: (11:36:46 PM) britney= kevin
Adam Levine: (11:36:57 PM) dianna= james z.
Adam Levine: (11:37:04 PM) johnny= casey
Adam Levine: (11:37:10 PM) nicki= britney
Adam Levine: (11:37:28 PM) everyone but johnny was on recycled 5
Adam Levine: (11:37:33 PM) johnny was on recycled 6
Mike Bahooski: (11:37:59 PM) ohh, sweet deal, wow thanks for letting me know! I appreciate that
Mike Bahooski: (11:38:10 PM) I'm impressed you know all that and everyone too
Mike Bahooski: (11:38:11 PM) haha
Adam Levine: (11:38:30 PM) lol you gotta be in the know of things like this!
Adam Levine: (11:38:38 PM) also be careful who you share this info with
Adam Levine: (11:38:41 PM) knowledge is power
Adam Levine: (11:39:12 PM) and you knowing this gives you power over those who dont if that makes sense
Mike Bahooski: (11:40:49 PM) oh no problem, that's one thing you learn about me, I keep things pretty tight to the chest, specially if you ask me too, not that you have to always ask me too, but if there is somehting that you feel shouldn't be general knowledge, then I'll be sure to keep it hush hush, I learn the hard way in my first game I played. Do you know who Seb is?
Adam Levine: (11:41:19 PM) no, sounds reeeally familiar though.
Adam Levine: (11:41:24 PM) who's seb?
Mike Bahooski: (11:43:02 PM) Um, I don't know really how to explain him, but he is just very prying and he really took advantage of my noob status and got a bunch of stuff out of me that I should have kept to myself, after that I didn't tell people much of anything
Adam Levine: (11:43:44 PM) oh i see
Adam Levine: (11:43:46 PM) :/
Mike Bahooski: (11:44:40 PM) I don't know a lot about him, I just know that he was trying out for this game, he was playing as marshal mathers, and a lot fo people have their own opinion about him
Mike Bahooski: (11:44:40 PM) hah
Adam Levine: (11:45:13 PM) oh cool
Adam Levine: (11:45:22 PM) he was actually a person i said to not bring in the house
Adam Levine: (11:45:26 PM) i just didnt know him lol
Adam Levine: (11:45:36 PM) as in i thought he was inactive
Mike Bahooski: (11:45:52 PM) yeah, I think I might have done the same, plus he wasn't posting in the house
Mike Bahooski: (11:46:06 PM) exactly
Adam Levine: (11:47:26 PM) but yes, bradley and I work very well together
Adam Levine: (11:47:39 PM) we both made final 3
Adam Levine: (11:47:59 PM) he won part 2 of the hoh competition, and he had to put who he would vote out if he won
Adam Levine: (11:48:04 PM) and he put me!
Adam Levine: (11:48:32 PM) i was really shocked when i found out lol
Adam Levine: (11:48:45 PM) the other person ended up winning the final part and voting out bradley
Adam Levine: (11:48:49 PM) where i took the game
Adam Levine: (11:49:10 PM) but still, i would rather take my friend to the f2 than an inactive/easy win
Mike Bahooski: (11:50:21 PM) yeah, I think in away it's more respectable, liek I feel like I can beat a better person head to head, I think that almost deserves a vote
Mike Bahooski: (11:50:21 PM) haha
Adam Levine: (11:51:19 PM) yeah, so people that know of us are going to assume were going to be working together
Mike Bahooski: (11:54:16 PM) I can see where people would get that, but don't worry I'm not thinking that, and I like Bradley too, he is a nice guy from what I've talked to him. I feel bad because a couple of our convos just abruptly died, ahah, but he's been good to talk to regardless
Adam Levine: (11:55:12 PM) and i think there's going to be this boring male alliance
Adam Levine: (11:55:22 PM) b/w Bradley, Noah and Sean mostly
Adam Levine: (11:55:31 PM) maybe Johnny and Drew as well
Adam Levine: (11:55:58 PM) but i think those first 3 are tight
Adam Levine: (11:56:23 PM) Bradley told me he thinks lindsay, britney, and nicki are aligned
Mike Bahooski: (11:56:42 PM) that'll be something to keep a close eye on then, thanks for the heads up
Mike Bahooski: (11:56:59 PM) that would make sense too, specially Nicki saving Lindsay when she really didn't need too
Adam Levine: (11:57:10 PM) right
Adam Levine: (11:57:13 PM) just a lot of hearsay now
Adam Levine: (11:57:24 PM) and also its good to know who the sinking ships are
Adam Levine: (11:57:35 PM) as in people who no one wants to align with
Adam Levine: (11:57:47 PM) and use them for your benefit
Adam Levine: (11:57:56 PM) like sandra
Mike Bahooski: (11:59:22 PM) haha, yeah, and Drew too I feel
Mike Bahooski: (11:59:41 PM) have you talked to him much?
Adam Levine: (11:59:55 PM) just barely
Adam Levine: (12:00:15 AM) i think he'll be a solid potentially lethal floater
Mike Bahooski: (12:01:37 AM) yep, probably make jury because of that, hopefully he won't get on a lucky streak
Adam Levine: (12:06:50 AM) so yeah, i'm eager to see how this game plays out!
Adam Levine: (12:07:10 AM) i'll def be honest with you and we can vent to each other each week and paranoia and stuff
Mike Bahooski: (12:09:49 AM) haha, def man, I appreciate you being there for me, you are definitely going to be a valuable resource, i hope I can be a good enough one to you too
Adam Levine: (12:12:32 AM) most definitely, we'll see what happens!
Mike Bahooski: (12:13:07 AM) Hopefully all good things from here out!
Adam Levine: (12:21:04 AM) alright im going to sleep
Adam Levine: (12:21:10 AM) thanks for chatting!
Mike Bahooski: (12:21:46 AM) alright, I should be going soon too, it was great chatting, talk to you again soon, goodnight
Adam Levine: (10:07:31 PM) hey mike!
Adam Levine: (10:07:35 PM) what's up with you?
Mike Bahooski: (10:09:29 PM) Not a whole lot, looking forward to getting a good night sleep tonight, for once, since the game has started. haha. Good job on the PoV btw, sorry you came up short. Would it have mattered if you didn't get a few wrong?
Adam Levine: (10:12:33 PM) no, i didnt know anybody else
Adam Levine: (10:12:38 PM) i was surprised!
Adam Levine: (10:12:46 PM) i thought people would know more
Adam Levine: (10:13:56 PM) im jk
Mike Bahooski: (10:13:56 PM) Even after the results were posted, I was like...who is that??? to half of them, haha! Nicki getting 26 is unreal
Adam Levine: (10:14:04 PM) i asked everyone i knew if they recognized anybody
Mike Bahooski: (10:14:10 PM) haha
Adam Levine: (10:14:12 PM) i knew about 10 myself lol
Mike Bahooski: (10:14:35 PM) I knew Mr. Peanut, who would've guessed that he is a star?
Adam Levine: (10:15:24 PM) lol i thought it was funny he was in
Mike Bahooski: (10:16:29 PM) and have you ever heard of a HoH disappearing? where did Noah go?
Mike Bahooski: (10:16:43 PM) send out a search party or something
Adam Levine: (10:18:41 PM) yeah that was weird
Adam Levine: (10:18:46 PM) maybe he got too comfortable
Adam Levine: (10:23:25 PM) idk how to say this without sounding suspicious or whatever
Adam Levine: (10:23:35 PM) but i wanna work with you
Mike Bahooski: (10:26:44 PM) haha, that's cool, yeah I wouldn't say it's suspicious, haha even if you are eager, I take that as a compliment. I think it would be great if we can work together.
Adam Levine: (10:27:11 PM) i guess forward was the word i was looking for
Mike Bahooski: (10:29:07 PM) haha, that's alright, but yeah, I definitely have noticed you are an awesome person so far, on top of feeling like you are pretty good at the challenges
Mike Bahooski: (10:29:37 PM) I'm sorry we haven't gotten to talk much more before this
Adam Levine: (10:30:13 PM) no when you sent me that message
Adam Levine: (10:30:35 PM) thats when i thought i wanna work with that guy
Adam Levine: (10:30:41 PM) you think before you act
Adam Levine: (10:30:49 PM) and you get along with basically everyone
Adam Levine: (10:30:53 PM) you're a likeable guy
Mike Bahooski: (10:32:40 PM) thanks man, I try and not stir the waters too much, I mean when push comes to shove sometimes you have to get dirty but I like talking with people, and I feel like people are more likely to not stab you in the back if you are good to them
Mike Bahooski: (10:33:01 PM) hey, just thought, what happens with nominations if Noah doesn't sign on to replace Lindsay?
Adam Levine: (10:33:35 PM) second strike...
Adam Levine: (10:33:39 PM) not sure really!
Adam Levine: (10:33:45 PM) it might be in the rules somewhere
Mike Bahooski: (10:35:27 PM) Hmm, just skimmed and didn't see much, maybe the Host would have to make a ruling at that time?
Mike Bahooski: (10:35:45 PM) Or maybe HoH gets auto evicted...that would be epic
Adam Levine: (10:35:53 PM) that would be AWESOME!
Adam Levine: (10:36:00 PM) no offense to noah
Mike Bahooski: (10:38:00 PM) haha, yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that happen, but I don't know any other way of it happening. It would look great on the final Voting History page
Adam Levine: (10:41:07 PM) most definitely lol
Mike Bahooski: (10:42:12 PM) On some of these up coming challenges if it's warranted, we should try and work together, specially to try and keep each other in the A-list so that we can get that extra vote.

Mike Bahooski: (10:45:21 PM) every HoH
Mike Bahooski: (10:45:42 PM) who ever is the HoH gets bumped to the top and everyone drops down one
Adam Levine: (10:45:59 PM) does the veto comp come into play?
Adam Levine: (10:46:04 PM) /reward challenges
Mike Bahooski: (10:47:28 PM) not really, unless that is the particular reward, for instance this reward challenge had the "bump up 1" reward
Adam Levine: (10:47:54 PM) right
Adam Levine: (10:48:01 PM) ok makes sense
Mike Bahooski: (10:49:19 PM) I'm sure there will be a reward that gives someone the ability to switch themselves into the A-list from winning the reward challenge or something like that
Adam Levine: (10:51:30 PM) oh i bet
Adam Levine: (10:51:50 PM) the list is a great way for reward challenges to not be a waste of time
Mike Bahooski: (10:52:43 PM) yeah, exactly, someone who might have thrown a challenge before would probably be less likely to do it now. I don't know anyone that doesn't want to be on the A-list! haha

Mike Bahooski: (10:53:53 PM) yeah, exactly, specially if you have a target on your back for what ever reason
Adam Levine: (10:55:01 PM) yeah, but targets on your back turn into jury votes in the end
Adam Levine: (10:55:12 PM) so its not that bad to be targeted
Mike Bahooski: (10:56:05 PM) that's so true, I've never seen someone win by slippin through the whole game
Adam Levine: (10:58:51 PM) do you think there's any inactive people in our cast?
Mike Bahooski: (11:01:51 PM) not really, like I've at least been able to talk to everyone one, and from what I've seen from the host, it looks like everyone participated in the reward challenge with. There are a lot of people that i don't seen on IM as much as I want, but I guess there isn't anything I can do about that. How about you, is there anyone you haven't really been connecting with?
Adam Levine: (11:02:43 PM) i would say christie
Adam Levine: (11:02:54 PM) i havent heard anything from her really
Adam Levine: (11:03:15 PM) and noah i guess with this comp lol
Mike Bahooski: (11:04:38 PM) yeah, true, and I have only talked with Christie once, and we really didn't connect too much, it was a short hello, how are you, good bye type deal
Adam Levine: (11:05:06 PM) right
Adam Levine: (11:05:15 PM) i bet shes more invested somewhere else
Adam Levine: (11:05:23 PM) b/c she is online at times
Adam Levine: (11:05:29 PM) it just seems minimal
Adam Levine: (11:05:36 PM) like in competing
Adam Levine: (11:05:40 PM) and convos
Adam Levine: (11:05:42 PM) very minimal
Mike Bahooski: (11:06:25 PM) yeah, I haven't even really seen her posting on the boards either, like we are posting all the time I feel. I'll have to check out her post count and see how she is doing?
Adam Levine: (11:07:27 PM) lol you give people the benefit of the doubt
Adam Levine: (11:07:35 PM) how often do you play ORGs?
Mike Bahooski: (11:09:14 PM) not very often at all, like not at all, like this is only my 3 ORG, and I'm playing in this one because I've played in another game for this host a while ago and he asked me if I wanted to play
Mike Bahooski: (11:10:03 PM) it's probably my greatest weakness is my immaturity in game play, but I've picked up a lot of things from watching a few and in the couple I've been in already
Mike Bahooski: (11:10:26 PM) I'd love to host some day, but I'll have to play a lot more before I could ever do that
Mike Bahooski: (11:10:38 PM) how about you? what's your ORG experience?
Adam Levine: (11:10:44 PM) its good you recognize where you can improve on
Adam Levine: (11:10:55 PM) i think this is the 5th org i played
Adam Levine: (11:11:24 PM) but i have extra motivation playing as adam
Mike Bahooski: (11:11:31 PM) oh yeah, there is always something I can improve on, and really I love just competeing in the challenges, I just want to constantly be doing challenges
Adam Levine: (11:11:35 PM) maroon 5 is my fav band EVER!
Adam Levine: (11:11:46 PM) lol yeah!
Adam Levine: (11:11:50 PM) i freaking love competitions
Mike Bahooski: (11:12:30 PM) haha, I enjoy Maroon 5 a lot too, I'm not hardcore at all, but I do like them, they are in the stream of music I like
Mike Bahooski: (11:13:28 PM) someone told me I should get into BB Warzone if I want to play another good series, I was also looking at recycled but don't know if I like it that much
Adam Levine: (11:15:26 PM) yeah those are the ones im familiar with
Adam Levine: (11:15:36 PM) i think the hosts know/play with each other
Adam Levine: (11:17:16 PM) the good thing about recycled is that they do episodes
Mike Bahooski: (11:17:21 PM) yeah, I feel like despite how many games there are out there, it feels like the ORG community is actually a small world. it always seems like a whole bunch of people know one another at the end of a season
Mike Bahooski: (11:17:42 PM) yeah, I've never been in a game with episodes before
Mike Bahooski: (11:17:46 PM) is it nice?
Adam Levine: (11:17:51 PM) its pretty neat
Adam Levine: (11:18:06 PM) to see what was important enoguh for you to say in your dr
Adam Levine: (11:18:13 PM) see who's name was brought up a lot
Adam Levine: (11:18:28 PM) and that's where everyone acted like HBIC lol
Mike Bahooski: (11:20:45 PM) so it kind of adds an entirely new dimension to the game? that's pretty cool though, it would be some good reading
Adam Levine: (11:21:44 PM) yeah
Adam Levine: (11:22:04 PM) it would help you further develop your bb game!
Mike Bahooski: (11:24:03 PM) that's what I'm hoping the moment that I really start playing more games, I'm going to develop a better resume with different games, also might play a couple survivor games too some day
Adam Levine: (11:24:39 PM) well i definitely wanna be here to help you
Adam Levine: (11:25:05 PM) i got two wins under my belt, so i think im somewhat knowledgeable of this game
Mike Bahooski: (11:25:25 PM) awesome, that's not too bad of a track record!
Adam Levine: (11:25:40 PM) i think you have great potential, so i really wanna see you succeed in this series!
Mike Bahooski: (11:27:17 PM) thanks man, that would be sweet if we can go far together, specially because you've been really cool to talk to and I like the way you think too, it makes it a lot easier to talk to someone like you
Adam Levine: (11:27:48 PM) yeah, and i think you're a stand up guy
Adam Levine: (11:28:14 PM) part of this game is reading people
Adam Levine: (11:28:27 PM) and my instincts are telling me to trust you
Mike Bahooski: (11:28:48 PM) thanks, but what if I told you I'm too lazy to stand, I don't think sit down guys are too bad either, haha
Adam Levine: (11:28:57 PM) haha
Mike Bahooski: (11:29:39 PM) thanks, I get the same vibe, and I'm usually pretty good with that, I've definitely been able to feel when things are going wrong before, plus there is no reason at all for us to be targetting one another
Mike Bahooski: (11:30:01 PM) and I love having someone to talk to about noms and so for if either one of us become HoH
Adam Levine: (11:30:57 PM) yeah i just want to talk to someone where i can spill my guts and get some feedback
Adam Levine: (11:31:18 PM) i already see some alliances to work on
Adam Levine: (11:31:26 PM) as in alliances in progress
Mike Bahooski: (11:32:29 PM) definitely man, I haven't caught too many eyes on that, that's one thing I haven't probably asked too many people is if they have been working with anyone else or if they have any options of anyone else
Mike Bahooski: (11:32:45 PM) who all do you see working together thus far? or who should we be worried about?
Adam Levine: (11:33:01 PM) ok let me catch you up on what i know
Adam Levine: (11:33:10 PM) i'm from the recycled series
Adam Levine: (11:33:49 PM) but so is bradley, britney, dianna, johnny, and nicki
Mike Bahooski: (11:33:52 PM) oh okay, do you know anyone else from Recycled>
Mike Bahooski: (11:33:55 PM) oh okay
Adam Levine: (11:34:06 PM) but don't worry, theres not an alliance between us
Adam Levine: (11:34:10 PM) at least not from my end
Mike Bahooski: (11:34:15 PM) so far of which they all seem very nice
Mike Bahooski: (11:34:50 PM) that's cool, and even if there was I would understand, but I also understand wanting to start from scratch too
Adam Levine: (11:35:08 PM) yeah i wanted to start from scratch really bad
Adam Levine: (11:35:16 PM) i shoulda changed my sn lol
Mike Bahooski: (11:35:24 PM) haha
Mike Bahooski: (11:35:29 PM) I know what you mean
Adam Levine: (11:35:35 PM) but moving on
Mike Bahooski: (11:35:42 PM) that would've been the best way I guess
Adam Levine: (11:36:19 PM) since there are episodes in recycled, you could 'research' your opponents if you'd like
Adam Levine: (11:36:28 PM) adam= james r.
Adam Levine: (11:36:32 PM) bradley= brian
Adam Levine: (11:36:46 PM) britney= kevin
Adam Levine: (11:36:57 PM) dianna= james z.
Adam Levine: (11:37:04 PM) johnny= casey
Adam Levine: (11:37:10 PM) nicki= britney
Adam Levine: (11:37:28 PM) everyone but johnny was on recycled 5
Adam Levine: (11:37:33 PM) johnny was on recycled 6
Mike Bahooski: (11:37:59 PM) ohh, sweet deal, wow thanks for letting me know! I appreciate that
Mike Bahooski: (11:38:10 PM) I'm impressed you know all that and everyone too
Mike Bahooski: (11:38:11 PM) haha
Adam Levine: (11:38:30 PM) lol you gotta be in the know of things like this!
Adam Levine: (11:38:38 PM) also be careful who you share this info with
Adam Levine: (11:38:41 PM) knowledge is power
Adam Levine: (11:39:12 PM) and you knowing this gives you power over those who dont if that makes sense
Mike Bahooski: (11:40:49 PM) oh no problem, that's one thing you learn about me, I keep things pretty tight to the chest, specially if you ask me too, not that you have to always ask me too, but if there is somehting that you feel shouldn't be general knowledge, then I'll be sure to keep it hush hush, I learn the hard way in my first game I played. Do you know who Seb is?
Adam Levine: (11:41:19 PM) no, sounds reeeally familiar though.
Adam Levine: (11:41:24 PM) who's seb?
Mike Bahooski: (11:43:02 PM) Um, I don't know really how to explain him, but he is just very prying and he really took advantage of my noob status and got a bunch of stuff out of me that I should have kept to myself, after that I didn't tell people much of anything
Adam Levine: (11:43:44 PM) oh i see
Adam Levine: (11:43:46 PM) :/
Mike Bahooski: (11:44:40 PM) I don't know a lot about him, I just know that he was trying out for this game, he was playing as marshal mathers, and a lot fo people have their own opinion about him
Mike Bahooski: (11:44:40 PM) hah
Adam Levine: (11:45:13 PM) oh cool
Adam Levine: (11:45:22 PM) he was actually a person i said to not bring in the house
Adam Levine: (11:45:26 PM) i just didnt know him lol
Adam Levine: (11:45:36 PM) as in i thought he was inactive
Mike Bahooski: (11:45:52 PM) yeah, I think I might have done the same, plus he wasn't posting in the house
Mike Bahooski: (11:46:06 PM) exactly
Adam Levine: (11:47:26 PM) but yes, bradley and I work very well together
Adam Levine: (11:47:39 PM) we both made final 3
Adam Levine: (11:47:59 PM) he won part 2 of the hoh competition, and he had to put who he would vote out if he won
Adam Levine: (11:48:04 PM) and he put me!
Adam Levine: (11:48:32 PM) i was really shocked when i found out lol
Adam Levine: (11:48:45 PM) the other person ended up winning the final part and voting out bradley
Adam Levine: (11:48:49 PM) where i took the game
Adam Levine: (11:49:10 PM) but still, i would rather take my friend to the f2 than an inactive/easy win
Mike Bahooski: (11:50:21 PM) yeah, I think in away it's more respectable, liek I feel like I can beat a better person head to head, I think that almost deserves a vote
Mike Bahooski: (11:50:21 PM) haha
Adam Levine: (11:51:19 PM) yeah, so people that know of us are going to assume were going to be working together
Mike Bahooski: (11:54:16 PM) I can see where people would get that, but don't worry I'm not thinking that, and I like Bradley too, he is a nice guy from what I've talked to him. I feel bad because a couple of our convos just abruptly died, ahah, but he's been good to talk to regardless
Adam Levine: (11:55:12 PM) and i think there's going to be this boring male alliance
Adam Levine: (11:55:22 PM) b/w Bradley, Noah and Sean mostly
Adam Levine: (11:55:31 PM) maybe Johnny and Drew as well
Adam Levine: (11:55:58 PM) but i think those first 3 are tight
Adam Levine: (11:56:23 PM) Bradley told me he thinks lindsay, britney, and nicki are aligned
Mike Bahooski: (11:56:42 PM) that'll be something to keep a close eye on then, thanks for the heads up
Mike Bahooski: (11:56:59 PM) that would make sense too, specially Nicki saving Lindsay when she really didn't need too
Adam Levine: (11:57:10 PM) right
Adam Levine: (11:57:13 PM) just a lot of hearsay now
Adam Levine: (11:57:24 PM) and also its good to know who the sinking ships are
Adam Levine: (11:57:35 PM) as in people who no one wants to align with
Adam Levine: (11:57:47 PM) and use them for your benefit
Adam Levine: (11:57:56 PM) like sandra
Mike Bahooski: (11:59:22 PM) haha, yeah, and Drew too I feel
Mike Bahooski: (11:59:41 PM) have you talked to him much?
Adam Levine: (11:59:55 PM) just barely
Adam Levine: (12:00:15 AM) i think he'll be a solid potentially lethal floater
Mike Bahooski: (12:01:37 AM) yep, probably make jury because of that, hopefully he won't get on a lucky streak
Adam Levine: (12:06:50 AM) so yeah, i'm eager to see how this game plays out!
Adam Levine: (12:07:10 AM) i'll def be honest with you and we can vent to each other each week and paranoia and stuff
Mike Bahooski: (12:09:49 AM) haha, def man, I appreciate you being there for me, you are definitely going to be a valuable resource, i hope I can be a good enough one to you too
Adam Levine: (12:12:32 AM) most definitely, we'll see what happens!
Mike Bahooski: (12:13:07 AM) Hopefully all good things from here out!
Adam Levine: (12:21:04 AM) alright im going to sleep
Adam Levine: (12:21:10 AM) thanks for chatting!
Mike Bahooski: (12:21:46 AM) alright, I should be going soon too, it was great chatting, talk to you again soon, goodnight
