[EPISODE ONE]
The apocalypse has begun.
I find myself among a ragtag group of survivors. There are 8 of us in total. An older man and his adult daughter, a husband and wife whose son is somewhere out there, a lady who lost her daughter to the walkers and seems to have "adopted" another little girl, a lady who's looking for her brother, and me (Tara). I feel like some of these people have been together longer than I've known them, but when you're thrown together in a situation as dire as this, you become really close really quickly, so I'm not worried about finding my place among them.
We came across a prison and we've set up camp there. We cleared a cell block of walkers and other dead things, so we could have a safe and secure place to sleep at night. It's about the closest thing to a home we'll probably ever have again.
Now the search is on for supplies. First Aid, food, water, and weapons. All things important to our survival. Some of the group has already been working hard on this task - little Lizzie, old man Herschel, his daughter Maggie (who I think has the hots for me), and myself. Carol has recently joined in the efforts as well. The rest of them - Rick, Lori, Sasha - maybe they've given up hope, or maybe they just don't care. All I know is if we don't gather up enough supplies, we're not going to be able to keep us all going as a group and we may have to say goodbye to a couple of us along the way.
I don't want it to come to that point, but whatever we need to do to for the better of the group is what needs to happen. Hope and each other is all we have in this world. And you're not going to survive if you don't have that.

It seems like my entire camp has given up on gathering supplies. We were doing well at the start, but I can't do it alone. If we have to cut loose some of the dead weight, at least I know where we should start...either Rick or Sasha. Both of them just sit there, like nothing's going on, like we're not in the middle of a world crisis.

While Rick was staring off into space, a walker came right up behind him and took a great big chunk out of his neck...he never even saw it coming. I almost didn't expect to hear any sound come from the man since he was always so quiet and just sat there. But all I can hear is Rick screaming until he just stopped. Lori was a wreck, but I can also see that she may be a little relieved that she doesn't have to worry about her husband anymore. And she wanted to be the one to make sure that Rick wasn't going to come back as one of those things. I wish I had looked away for that part...

[EPISODE TWO]
We found another camp that is probably loaded with supplies that we could use. Problem is, another group of survivors has also found the place. So we're kind of at a standstill right now. Some of our group is occupying spaces and some of their group is doing the same. It's going to be a long night. They don't seem too hostile, but meeting outside groups is always a tricky situation, because you never know how much they can be trusted. So we're sort of checking each other out for now.
Lori, after losing her husband, was hoping Carl (her son) might be part of this other group. But so far, we haven't seen him. But we didn't look everywhere. She actually suggested that the first place he'd head would be the kitchen, but it seems like someone's occupied that space and we don't want anymore trouble than we can handle right now.

Turns out Lori's son Carl, was the one in the kitchen. But he didn't seem to happy to see his mother. The kid's a brat with a mouth and an attitude. This intense looking lady with a sword, Michonne I think, is definitely someone I'd want on my side. Fierce, and someone I would not want to cross. So I think I'll try to buddy up with her. Tyreese, Sasha's brother, is really cool too. I would love to travel with him and Michonne. If we could get rid of both camps' dead weight, we'd be a pretty awesome group.

It's practically a whole tribe vs. one right now. I don't expect to overtake the camp with all these supplies at all, but I want people to know that there is some life in the Prison tribe. Maybe at some point, they'll just take me in as one of their own. That's a plan.

The camp from Woodbury got more of their people into the abandoned camp, and made off like bandits. It was a tough battle. Neither side wanted to give any advantage. When we returned to the Prison, we found that Sasha had died from her wounds. She had previously fallen into a pit and was badly injured. Carol made sure that Sasha would not be reanimated as a walker. And another one bites the dust.

[EPISODE THREE]
We've run into the group from Woodbury again. People are a little more friendly this time, but probably only because we now "know" each other. All of a sudden though, we've been ambushed by a horde of walkers! Now we must fight them off to survive. It's like being trapped in a nightmare. Not everyone will make it out of this one alive. This will sound bad, but the only people I'm looking out for at the moment are myself, Maggie and her father Herschel. Little Lizzie seemed like she'd be a strong member of the group, and I hope she returns to that way, but right now, she's not very useful. It would still be terrible if we lost her to the zombies, so I'll try to protect her as best I can right now as well. Any of the others, such as Carol and Lori may have to be left behind if these walkers become too much.

As expected, not all of us have made it out of the latest walker attack alive. Both the Governor and Lori Grimes were lost in the battle. Carl didn't even seem to care. So weird.

[EPISODE FOUR]
After some time out here in this zombie apocalypse, and after losing too many people, the Prison group and the Woodbury group have decided to send a representative each to discuss some arrangements to possible help each other out. I've been selected from my group to meet up with one of theirs. I'm looking forward to working something out.

So Michonne and I have decided that it may be best to mix up our groups a little bit, help to even things out...So far, Hershel will joining Woodbury, and Tyreese will be calling the Prison his new home. I'm hoping that land both Maggie and Carol in the Prison with me as well, which would mean that Lizze would be going to Woodbury. Michonne will probably keep Daryl, which means that I'll be left to choose from either Andrea, Carl, Glen or Shane.
I'm going to break character right now to say that it may be better for me and my original prison group if we have one of the least active people from Woodbury join us. When all is said and done, my new tribe will consist of 3 Prison and 3 Woodbury folk. At our first tribal council, if we decide to vote along old tribal lines, it could tie and the best chance that we have (if Carol doesn't have an idol) is to hope that one of them self-vote. Either that, or we have a tie-breaker of some sort where hopefully Prison person will come out on top and we'll have the advantage. Then we can breathe a little easier going into the next Camp Council. It's not that I would 100% want to stick with Prison and get rid of of all Woodbury. I want to keep Tyreese around a long time, just afraid of them having the numbers at merge. So if we can get rid of a Shane or a Glen or an Andrea, then we'd need to try. Tyreese and I have talked a couple times about helping each other out, so I do think we'd look out for each other, especially at that first Camp Council.

Two new camps have been decided:
Michonne, Hershel, Daryl, Lizzie, Shane and Andrea in Woodbury.
Tara, Tyreese, Maggie, Carol, Glen and Carl at the Prison.
I wanted everyone on my new tribe except for that brat, Carl. But I'm hoping he's the weak link, should we need one. And I'm also hoping he doesn't have an idol or any such nonsense from his time in the Pit. Speaking of Pitiness, Michonne and myself have been tasked to face what's in there. Finally get to find out what the fuss is all about. I'm hoping that I have a chance to come out of there stronger than I am going in.

The Pit is walker trap, but there's a hidden immunity idol somewhere in there, waiting to be dug up. Of course I'd like to search for it, but is it worth the risk? Every five minutes a walker drops in there and you have to be ready to kill it. If you don't, and it happens more than once, you're done. You're dead. And soon to be undead. Chances of my finding it out a possible 54 locations is less than 13%. It would take at least 3 hours to dig up all 7 spots that I choose, but all the while killing a walker every five minutes to keep going and remain the game. I'm not sure the risk is worth it for me right now. I'd be fine with not having the idol, but I wouldn't want anyone else to have it either. At the very least, if Michonne does get it, I won't be seeing her for a while still, and hopefully she'd not use it against me when we do meet up. Also, I now know what the Pit is and if I need to decide to send someone in there, I can make a much clearer choice. It's also very unlikely that either Carol or Carl have it so that puts my mind a little more at ease about having Carl on my new tribe.

Zombie Probst, this is my official decision about the Pit:
I'm climbing the rope and getting out of dodge. I don't want to risk my life in this game for something I may not even find.

I'm excited about my new group. Most of the people have been really blah in general, so I'm thinking people would be willing to mix it up and want to get rid of old tribemates for the sake of a better game moving forward...I'd want to drop Carl first, but then I'd be willing to let Carol go. Maybe Tyreese, Maggie, Glen and I could come up with some kind of agreement. Or at least Tyreese, Maggie and I.  Of the Woodbury group, I'd love to see Andrea go followed by Daryl. Andrea is too quiet, and that scares me a little. lol And Daryl is the person I've had least amount of contact with and have no idea what he's thinking. PRISON GROUP
