Round 1 Confessionals

[RB]

I've been waiting for this journal for DAYS now and now I don't know what the hell to say.

The gameplay basically began as soon as people started getting announced and apparently way before that as well. So who the hell knows what alliances are out there right now.

I started forming alliances as soon as names were being announced. Bud and I had gotten to talking before the game began and we would have met in another game before this one if he didn't get voted off early on in that game.

We've formed an secret alliance between the two of us.

My other super secret alliance is with...

Joel

No one, including you hosts, knew or knows that I have a relationship with Joel that goes way way back. I've played with Joel several times. I've hosted him. He's hosted me. We're tight. We trust each other 100% and as of right now I'd like him to be my F2 partner.

Problem with both of these allies is that they'll be targets really early and they could get the boot but the way I see things shaping up I'd say I'm already in an good position. I wouldn't say I'm in an excellent position because well...I haven't talked to everyone and I haven't formed really close bonds with some of the people I've just met in this game yet but I'm in a decent position.

I'm disappointed Maiku wasn't cast. I would have had another automatic ally if he had been cast LOL. Anyways, onto the others that actually are in the game...

I think Bridget is a fan of me. I'm a fan of hers so far as well but I've been told to be wary of her. I don't see why...but apparently that's the thing with Bridget. She's well liked and popular and has connections with like everyone. I'm gonna keep on her good side.

Stickman and Hooker...who knows. I've talked with Hooker like twice. Stickman once. The good news about Hooker is that both Bud and Joel say they can ally with him so I think he's already on my side.

Megan...I like her. I've made it a point to try and drill in the fact that we're both newbies considering we played in seasons 12 and 13 and I hope that she finds that sticking with someone else who is considered an outsider is a better idea than siding with some of the veterans and more seasoned iSurv1vor alumni. I'll have to try and form something official with her before others do because I think she will stick with whoever aligns with her. She did in Bermuda...

Juice. Not a fan. He'll want me out early and I want him out early.

Katy...haven't talked to but I think she is pretty inactive or maybe I'm just on at different times than her. She's tied in with Juice so I can always target her before Juice if she is less help than Juice is.

Torah...not around right now. On Holiday. Easy to pin a loss on if we lose.

I HATE this challenge. Most of the time people aren't good at graphics. I'm certainly not. I like to think I know what looks good though. So unfortunately I've already come across as OTT and as a jerk.

Oh well. I'm here to win and winning challenges helps me do that. I hate tribal council and like to avoid it at all costs.

At least I've already got some allies.

Oh, I forgot Jeffrey. Whoops <3 him and we should be allied obviously because we got along great in FvF after we got to talking and we're getting along great here so far. I wish I could be on to talk to him more. Tomorrow hopefully.

And that's my first confessional.

Potential alliance at first tribal council we attend...

Bud/RB/Joel/Hooker/Jeffrey/Megan

Potential targets at first tribal council we attend...

Juice/Katy/Torah

imo anyways and my allies Joel and Bud will be aware of who I think is best to target.

Joel tried to tell me today that he heard that Bud and Bridget don't like each other and we could possibly use that to our advantage and I put a kabosh on that right away and told him no.

Okay and that's really the end of my confessional this time.

[RB]

Sooo I was right to decide that I'd need to have a little talk with Megan.

Megan LIKES Juice. I was not gonna have that be acceptable though. I mean whatever, girl is gonna have her own opinion...but if she likes me more...which is questionable...she's gonna listen to me and not trust Juice.

She said she'd like to stick with me so I hope that's the truth. Said she would not vote for me if we lose. I'll take it.

I'm just gonna keep talking to her every chance I get even though it's kinda difficult. She takes a while to respond sometimes and other times I feel like I am pestering her and annoying her by typing a bunch of things in a row trying to fish a response out of her.

Juice IMed me...trying to be nice. I'll try my best as well...but I don't trust him regardless. If we ever lose it is going to get nasty between us for sure.

Spoke with Hooker. He didn't want to talk strategy with me much. Talked about Bridget a bit. He isn't worried about her. Didn't want to talk about potential bootees even when I was like "There are other people I'd rather boot". He didn't even want to ask. I was hoping he would lol. I want to spread poison and I want to spread the fact that I want certain people out. If I get some names out there between now and our first loss people won't be so WTF about the vote. I hate when people are like oh no...what should we do!?

Let's get some options out there

Anyhow...love the flag. I think my tribe can easily win this if we all just post.

And now it's bedtime. I have to do some major talking tomorrow. Just small talk, make people think I give a shit about them and want to talk to them every single time I see them.

[RB]

We lost. Boo-urns.

I would use this confessional to go into how annoyed I am that we lost and all the things that I don't agree with that the Heroes Tribe did and blah blah blah but there has just been too much about it all already and I'm ready to move past it all.

We are attending our first tribal council and I think that it is pretty straightforward but a lot of people are being very shady and secretive in their tribal council answers and a lot of people are saying shit like everyone has a different opinion on what is going to make this tribe better, etc.

So it is making me wonder if people are trying to pull something together this tribal council and blindside someone over the easy target of Torah. Honestly, I can't be bothered talking to people to find out. I've talked to people. I've constantly heard that it is Torah. If it is me going then whatever, nothing I can change obviously.

That's the way things go in this game. If people don't want others to know about something...they won't. Unless someone feels guilty or has a big mouth or something. It's the first round. No one is going to want to ruffle feathers and stick their neck out for anyone else.

OH, by the way...I would have been extremely pissed off if Joel was removed from the game. I need Joel in the game. I need Bud in the game. These people have my back as far as I can tell. I need those people in the game to keep myself in the game as long as possible.

Anyway...my thought process is that if Torah goes...an alliance can form between myself/Joel/Bud/Megan/Jeffrey/Hooker. I have no clue if that is possible...but I'm hoping it is. I could be dreaming and I could already be on the outs of an alliance but I'm not playing without reason here. I have a plan. I just can't go shoving it down people's throats. I have to hope it comes together slowly. *sigh*
