"rubicante"

- Shane going home is a pretty great thing for me, honestly. I don't vibe with him well and we just don't have much of a connection at all, so if there was one person on that tribe I wanted gone, it was him. I do feel a little uneasy about being the one that stuck my neck out on the line for Ian to save him, especially since he's not even aware that I did it, but fuck it I want to work with Ian in the future and he's such a good kid that I couldn't let him go home this soon. Liam's also really mad about Shane leaving and wants to belt Lex with a hockey stick or some shit, but as much as I really like Lex, I'm obviously going to let Lex keep taking the heat for that instead of me. Liam cannot find out that I was the one that lobbied for Ian when he was a consensus boot otherwise. Either way, I saved my boi, the person with the least good vibes here went home, and I'm on fucken cloud nine bro. Shit's good.

"rubicante"

- I honestly don't care about this garnet shit at all. Not gonna lie, I didn't even realise they can't be used or anything yet when I gave mine away, but the fact that I found that out now makes me stand by the decision even more. It's worthless to me at the moment, and Joe asked so nicely in the one world chat that I had to give it to him. I'm literally no worse off for not having a garnet now, and if anything, it saves someone pulling a Sarah Lacina to Sierra in Game Changers where she voted her out to snag the legacy advantage. Nobody can boot me now with the intent to get my garnet if I make it abhorrently public knowledge that I don't have it anymore. I'm not even working with Joe at all but fuck it, Joe is a good dude and he can have my useless garnet. When I whine about being bullshitted out by some advantage bought by the garnets at some future hellish auction, then just rewind to here and call me out on it, but for now I don't care about the garnets and nobody else should either.

"rubicante"

- Okay, didn't expect Shane to get voted out, he seemed really charismatic and proactive. It was a 4-3 vote but it's not worth lingering on about until the event of a swap.

In terms of the challenge I wanted to sit out because I had some stuff going on but it was not meant to be and now I'm in it again. I contributed a shit ton to the overall list and I made sure to log into my google account so people can see my edit history. I'm taking a break but I hope it's enough to get us the immunity because I am not looking forward to tribal if we go.

This garnet thing is cool but we don't know too much yet. I'd probably give mine to Sam if I got voted out but hopefully I won't have to ever give it up.

"alichino"

- Vincent told me that it’d probably be smarter if I not tell people about how this vote went for us. But I already told Chloe a little about it. Shit. On the other hand, it was awesome; I can’t believe it worked.

"alichino"

- Okay, I've calmed down a bit more this time I think. That being said, I'm still not very happy here.

Though we're now making progress on the challenge, will it be enough? Will I be lied to again and wind up being sent home? Will Sam be sent home? This has already become very mentally taxing and this is somewhat of a cry for help, but I'm at a loss here. Just let me win immunity, please...

"rubicante"

"alichino"

- I wouldve made this confessional earlier but... hurricanes are a bitch. Anyways, fuck that last vote bruh. So I guess some paranoid fucks thought one of the most genuine people on the cast and one of the few with an actual personality was being "shady" so they teamed up and voted him out leaving me and Liam in the minority. Them some bitches aint they. I mean lex told me about it before tribal but still I know those 4 got a lil group going now and it sucks esp cuz I miss Shane like he was so fun to talk to. I came into this game after a long break wanting to play more of a hero-like role and not be this villain that I usually play as. But we see how that got my game started, with me in the minority and losing a great player. So fuck that, fuck tryna be more of a good guy, these dummy dumbs fucked up and now villain Sam is back into play baby and these fucks don't aint even ready for what's finna hit them now. WE BACK BABY AND IT FEELS GOOD YAAA YEEEEEET

"rubicante"

- This proposition for an alliance with Lex, Vincent, Zach, Isaac, Sam and I is something I'm not too comfortable with, honestly, but I feel like my hands are tied and I have no choice but to say yes to something that's going to inevitably get me in trouble later. Individually I don't have any problems working with those latter three, but together there's absolutely no way I'm locking myself into that. Especially not Zach and Sam together. That's a recipe for disaster and I know with certainty that I'll get burned by them if they're working together, and the fact that Zach was apparently the one to pitch that makes it abundantly clear what sort of game he's playing. I'm guessing Vincent leaked the trial winners group to Zach and that's why we're all involved in it, but outside of that Zach literally just picked up his pregame friendships and said "here, this is something new, let's do this". Let's not do that. I'm going to say yes for now and be in the chat with them, because you can't really deny an alliance offer in Survivor, but I'm absolutely putting no weight into sticking by them or having any sort of longterm working relationship with any of them, at least not in this group configuration. An alliance with just Isaac and some other people? Sure. Just Zach and some other people? Sure. But Zach, Sam and Isaac under one roof? Absolutely not.

"malacoda"

- So Shane went home and j knew about it. I tried to stop it but after lex and I talked he felt it was best. He wants Liam and Sam by his side so that’s whatever. Shane would’ve been good for my game. But time to pivot to Liz on that tribe now. Sam and Liam and Zach and I are a foursome which is great and Sam Zach and I are the core. Then I’ve got Zach Vinnie and Liz. Then I’ve got Chloe and Zach and now I’ve got Joey Tommy and Zach. Also I’ve still got lex even though he’s lied now once about his teams score. I want isiah to go hom but him or Andrew will do. Joey wants Vinnie and that won’t happen. Anyway we lost so time to get to work

"malacoda"

- We lost the challenge and I'm sad. I really like this tribe and don't really want to vote anyone off but the show must go on. I think Vincent will be the one to go because he barely contributed to the challenge and he's very dry when it comes to having a conversation with him. Like you have to try really hard to have a decent talk with him. That being said, Andrew's name is on the chopping block as well since some people barely talk to him. But Andrew going would be a kick to the teeth because he did carry us in the challenge. We wouldn't have gotten as many as we did without Andrew so voting him out is saying 'Hey, thanks for being the main contributor buuuuuut you gotta go.' Plus I feel like Andrew trusts me the most on this tribe so it wouldn't benefit me at all to see him go. I do think it'll be Vincent in the end but we'll see. It was Ian that was suppose to go at the second Tribal but shenanigans ensued and we lost Shane way too soon.

"alichino"

- I cant believe we pulled that off. Especially after posted my vote in the tribal chat like a true dumbass. Luckily nobody remembered they could change their votes. Alas, Shane has been vanquished. It was meant to be a 3-3-1 vote. No need for Ian and we get Shane out on the revote. However, I felt it was necessary in like the last 30 minutes to get Ian on our side. It'll probably hurt when I have to vote him out but it was needed. Still just cant believe we pulled that off, yeah it couldve backfired but it seems as though Liam and Sam are oddly okay with it? Me and Lex have done some serious damage control. Sure, they could be putting on a facade but who cares? At this point I'm in the majority and it's feeling good for the time being.

"rubicante"

- Garnets? Are you fuckin' serious?

"rubicante"

- Like, seriously?

"rubicante"

- 20 of us left and the hosts have added fire tok- GARNETS into play, because why the hell wouldn't they?

Brian and I are still reeling from losing Shane. If anything, it's only strengthened our resolve as a duo - he and I are both pissed, and we're both looking for vengeance. Thankfully, my previous bond with Lex allows me to keep getting info funneled to me from his side, and my bond with Liam allows me to prepare a counter-strike in the case of Alichino going back to tribal. All of the pawns for revenge await me, it's just a matter of Lex going back down the well.

Our challenge this round is to pick out reality TV contestants based on what seems to be an eighth of their cast photos. Surprisingly, this one is right up my alley. I immediately pick out the Big Brother and Survivor contestants, and I get some of the underground ones as well - Ivan from King of the Nerds, T from Hells Kitchen, some of the international contestants, etc. There's still a couple throwing us off, but I'm shocked at how well this tribe is doing here. Lora in particular is making her mark, keeping our document clean and giving us some truly underground picks.

Lora and I have been chatting recently and have entered a little mini-alliance, which effectively means I'm somewhat close to everyone on this tribe. A blessing but also a curse, because going to tribal will suuuuuuuck. I actually like all of these people!

Day 6
"alichino"

- So, Elizabeth and I were talking today-talking about our previous instances being dragged to the end. We’ve noted how hard Aaron M. is playing so far, and we can hopefully figure things out together so that he, or anyone, doesn’t drag us to the end. But we’ve got some time to think-we have immunity.

"malacoda"

- hey i forgot when i made my last cf so i am about to skip a lot

so we lost bc we weren't as insanely good as everyone else sadly

it has been decided that to counteract the messy tribal we need a simple tribal. so we're voting out andrew. it's been quite easy to get people on that because we're still doing that thing where if it isn't you you should vote them out.

some people might be like 'how rude to vote out the guy who did most of the challenge work???' and to that i say 'if he was good enough we wouldn't be in a position to vote him out'

for non tribal news, zach wants an alliance of 6 with me, him, lex, aj, isaac, and sam. not a bad group. zach and i both see lex as a shield due to the perception of him as a big gamer already. aj and sam are both going to be huge threats (sam especially), but i don't really foresee isaac being too big of a threat. of course zach is the best player of this 6 though, he's winning the season if i don't get him first

before you look at me like that i';ll have you know that i am not about to try and blindside one of my closest allies at f20 because he'd be a threat at f5. i've improved a lot in the two months since i last tried something like that.

"rubicante"

- Sorry if I already made a confessional about this my brain is worms right now aaaaaa

So anywho, we won immunity which is great, and I think I've earned enough respect from my tribe to where I don't feel as unsafe as I was before if we did happen to go to tribal. I think Isaac and I get along pretty well and Lexi is someone who I always sort of vibe with. I wanna say I'm good with Brian as well but it's a bit uncertain there. I know I technically don't have a majority or even a solid alliance formed yet but I don't necessarily feel like I would be the target, or at least it wouldn't make sense for me to be the target.

The great thing about one world is even if I get swapped (which who knows when that's happening) onto a tribe with minority Rubicante, I have some good bonds who would have my back on the other tribes, like say Sam, Hesh, Liam and I wanna say Joe and Andrew but we'll see. I do not want to sound overconfident because everything can change fast, but in this moment, I feel at ease, ya know?

"malacoda"

- I’m so pissed we lost that challenge. The fact that it was so close makes it even worse. Going to tribal really sucks, I get along great with everyone on the tribe so it’s rough that someone has to go. I was a bit worried at first, I just met most of these people 6 days ago and some have known each other for years, but that alliance with me Joe Tommy and Hesh makes me feel a lot better. Our target tonight has narrowed down to Vince and Andrew. Andrew hasn’t been too active, and Vince did literally nothing in the challenge. I feel bad voting Andrew since he carried us in that challenge, but most of the tribe is leaning toward him. Joe is pushing for Vincent to leave instead though, so I’m not exactly sure who’s going. I don’t really have a preference tbh, I just want to make it through. My strategy rn is to just being very social and make sure I have a hand in deciding who goes, and that seems to be working out so far.

"malacoda"

- I guess ill try to fall into a habit of writing at LEAST one of these a round but

So, much to the chagrin of the entire fucking cast, Shane got yeeted out in a 4-3. right at first, everyone p much erupts into thinking its a blindside against sam and liam. come to find out it was a vote to prevent a perceived metagame, but my boys are obv still worried. i go and so some digging around and discover that this was a one time thing and that ians the next to go over there. I also find out that lex, who pushed the shane vote, actually loves sam and said his name as an ally in a group lex wanted to make w me, him, sam, aj, isaac and vinnie. during all this time im also talking about setting up a group with sam, liam and hesh, so at this point im pretty worried that im spreading myself waaay too thin. im on good working terms with like, most of the cast which will deffo bite me in the ass when i need to really start playing.

one funny thing that happened was that everyone got super shaded out by aaron m, which is pretty much exactly what i expected when he messaged me at 4pm and talked about how shit was going down and that people were gonna be mad at him. still dont rly understand his nor lex's logic in the last tc but theyre both the same type of player and i think they both trust me. im keeping a closer eye on aaron now though cause apparently he told shane AND sam he wanted to work with them long term and this this happened. I know Lex tried to fill Sam in on the vote but he had voted early already. idk rn hes someone id like to have around for the same reason as i like lex around, and i do think lex and he are close, but ill deffo snipe aaron out before most of my other allies now that i know how loose he likes to play.

we get the chall and the chall is just ""who watches the most tv"", so naturally i sit out. Apparently Andrew really carried the chall (i didnt pay much attn to it tbch sorry guys), so despite him being in last place with everyone on the tribe socially, that deffo worked wonders for his game. The Joe/Hesh/Zach/Tommy group finally got made, but come to find out from Hesh, apparently Joe is trying to make another group with Isaiah instead of me, to ""cover all their bases"". The tribes pretty split in half on who they want gone between Andrew and Vinnie, with Joe, Andrew and Tommy pushing for Vinnie and me, Hesh and Vinnie pushing for Andrew, with Isaiah somewhere in the middle. On paper, this looks really bad for Vinnie due to the group with Joe and Tommy, but Hesh told me that while he was discussing it with Isaiah, Isaiah just kinda casually dropped a ""i really like zach"", which makes me think he might lean towards our direction which would be dope. I honestly dont trust Tommy all that much - we've only talked game in the alliance chat and he keeps getting shoehorned into groups by Joe. I really love Joe, but I know exactly what game hes playing on this tribe, which is to get close with the people I'm not super close to in case he needs to snipe me. Hes a very smart dude and someone who i want to work with for the time being, but at this point hes probably below isaiah on thr trust meter on this tribe.

So I've advised Vinnie to be open about targeting andrew with people for the most part because I feel like the tribe just wants unity right now after the last vote. Joe and Tommy have been very silent since giving their case to save Andrew - simply just being that hes better at challenges - but i dont even really put much stock into that at all. The challenge today was literally just identifying reality tv contestants and we lost to brown, who just got rid of their best performer in the last challenge. The challenges thus far have been 3 completely different skill sets and basing a vote off of performance thus far is ridiculous, especially since i am easily the worst challenge performer on this tribe. if we were looking at challenge strength, id be gone. i dont look at that.

i would love to bring this up to joe and tommy, but its just super risky right now, and way too early. if i can save vinnie itll be ideal since i pretty much know that hesh and i are his allies around here, and with me bringing him into lex's group that gives us a lot of wiggle room AND puts some shields between us. Lex is playing hard and aggressive and most people dont trust him. I trust Lex because I know how Lex plays and what he values in an ally, but the bottom line is that hes gonna be a very wonderful shield for me down the line.

Theres a lot of paranoia involved about bringing AJ into a group with Sam and I, given that I am essentially the bridge buffer between the three of our complex history. this is our third game together, the three of us, and both other times either AJ or Sam took each other out. The first was at f8 and it was both me and AJ (where i beat him at f4 tiebreaker and won the org), and the second was when AJ was the final premerger and im pretty sure Sams the one that threw it out there. AJ and Sam dont interact much outside of ORGs, so its always spooky. the one positive though is that when Ian mentioned Austin W and JPORG and i mentioned a season, AJ messaged me and just said ""dont say JPORG"", which makes me believe hes much more on the same page as sam and i are by not bringing attention to it. I also think Isaac and Liam will be able to quell that too, as im 95% sure both of them are close or at least wanting to stay on good terms with all three of us.

i dont really have a whole lot of complex insight for this one because the vote - unless im getting bamboozled - is gonna be straightforward. Guess ill have more later? idk who knows fuck it im tired and at work and people keep asking me stupid braindead questions like ""if i use a portable wifi will it fuck with the colleges wifi"" or ""how do you scan a document on the 2 click document scanner"" and shit like that and my frap is melting and yknow its just a bunch of spoiled white kid problems but its whatever who cares

"alichino"

- After that tribal and talking with Ian, Lex/Aaron are definitely a duo that’s running our tribe. I was talking with Ian who told me that Aaron told him similar info to what Lex has told me. Going forward Aaron is someone I’d now want to work with but definitely not go to the end with considering how he’s playing. Ian basically told me he was dragged by Perry to the end and Aarons playing exactly how Perry did so I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees how Aaron is playing.

I was thinking if our tribe were to lose again, I could try using Sam/Liam to get Aaron out (either flip myself for a 3-3 or try to flip Ian also and 4-2 it) but I’d have to deal with damage control with Lex either way if aaron goes. I also don’t want Lex flipping on me later on in the game either. On the other hand it may be too early to go for Aaron and keep him as a shield since Ian also knows how he’s playing. I also have the group with Zach/Hesh/Vince so i could use that down the road to get aaron out if they all make merge or we end up on a tribe together.

"malacoda"

- So I’m in a few alliances

Me Vinnie Zach- Vinnie is voting Andrew and Vinnie is going home, didn’t want that, but sorry buddy not gonna fight for you

Zach Tommy Joey me- this will be the power alliance I believe all voting Vinnie

Tommy Joey isiah me - a way to keep isiah under wraps nice side alliance

Joey has Andrew under his thumb but Andre goes next

Not sure who Tommy trusts more me or Joey but he works for us both

Joey feels like I’m with him at the top and I might be

Zach and I are running the tribe quietly

Isiah and Zach are a combo isiah is bleh

"rubicante"

- Winning immunity is honestly a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I’m pretty glad to be safe consistently and I’m the only person in the game to never actually be vulnerable at a tribal yet which is cool, and I love preaching this grey tribe best tribe mantra even if it’s not that serious, but there are a few complications that come up from winning so much. Our tribe hasn’t had a chance to prove loyalties to each other, and while I think these hosts are classy enough and not dumb enough to have us swap immediately, if we swap at any point we don’t have proven trust with each other or real alliances - at least not ones that I’m in - so it puts us in a little bit of a grey area. Haha grey pun. This is noticeable to the other tribes too. I’ve had people ask me who a target would be and there’s genuinely not an answer among us, which people keep interpreting as our tribe not being sociable enough to have a power structure yet. Sam pretty much verbatim said that but with dumbed down Sam words. I’m also just worried I’ll become a threat if I personally keep winning everything, so I’m actually glad there’s a flash game for me to stumble on so I’m not front of the pack in every single challenge. Believe me, every non flash game challenge I will win if I want to, but I don’t really think it’s a good idea to do that - at least until late game where there’s less danger of surprise flash games showing up - if I want to survive long. I’ve got to play the long con. If we lose the next challenge though, I’m not mad. I won’t outright throw it, but a loss is a win anyway.

"alichino"

- So it looks like I'm back in good graces with mainly Sam. He's a smooth talker for sure. Dont entirely believe him but hey it could be something. Liam on the other hand isn't doing a great job at convincing me he's not pissed about being left out. Luckily for me Liz has some sort of agenda to go after Liam. So easy excuse to get him out. Only if it comes to that of course. Liam's doing such a great job on the challenge that we're probably gonna win it. Well played Liam, well played.

3 The easy vote

We have all refered to the term "easy vote" at one point or another. In the early game, it is mostly represented by fellow tribe members who aren't active. Post-merge, the public enemy number one might get labelled as such. It is what is presumably the path of least resistance towards making it to the next round. To get the definition of "easy vote", it must be reasonably possible for the vote to be unanimous. It is a rare beast that we often pursue because it brings with it many advantages. First, it unites the tribe. In some way, if unanimous, it resets the game. It sets a precedent that you can work with everyone. Secondly, it promises a break from the strategy of the game or, if done very early in the game, it pushes the bloodbath to later. These advantages cannot be underestimated. In the early game, under the radar strategies are extremely popular and the easy vote is, of course, a great choice for an under the radar game. But I believe that being too quick to grab these easy votes in the premerge is an easy trap to fall into. It is common belief that premerge is the part of the game where we build relationships, alliances and anger the least amount of people possible. If we follow this to the letter, we can miss many opportunities. Others will have their troops ready at merge, will you? Be aware of your position in the tribe, of the dynamics of the tribe and how you can be sure to stay safe over a reasonable timeframe. Do not simply go to the easy vote by default. However, I also believe that we are too tempted by big moves once merge arrives and let the easy vote fall on the wayside. If the opportunity arises for an easy vote during merge. Consider it very carefully. Do not shake things up just for the sake of it. This would raise your threat level and, depending on the number of rounds left, it may catch you. Merge is more or less a bloodbath from start to finish and it is only inhabited by hungry vultures and sheeps owned by said vultures. A break is one less round before you reach your goal and as stated earlier, a unanimous vote sets a precedence of working with everyone. If you're aware of your position in the tribe and know that this easy vote won't hurt you, it may be the right move.

"rubicante"

- Boom goes the dynamite! We submit our score at 38/40 - in the last minute I crack the code and find two Bachelor contestants. Results come in and we're shitting ourselves, because all three tribes did really well and there was only a two-point gap between first and third. If someone got 40, we'd be fucked.

Thankfully, we lived! Rubicante asserted dominance on these fools yet again, and Malacoda is off to tribal. Alichino scrapes by, and in a sense I'm grateful - Liam and Sam ultimately may still be vulnerable, and I'd like to see them both make the swap so that something can be organised against Lex.

I hear from Zach that it's looking to be a unanimous vote, either against Andrew or against Vincent. I'd rather Vincent go, if I'm honest - Andrew is a great dude, but he also seems somewhat malleable. He'll take a name and vote it. Vincent has more independence in that regard, and that's something I'd like to see snuffed. I guess we'll see.
