Get Rekt Nerds/Confessionals

Day 4
"qala"

- This reward challenge really means a lot to me, personally. Having that idol could really change my position in the game, and if Qala won it, then I think our morale would go up even higher considering that we nearly lost a member yesterday. So I'm gonna do my best and encourage my tribe to do the same, cause we could really use this win.

"murokata"

- So yeah. Nichals went home as planned. It's good to know that my tribemates weren't playing me XD Now we've got a reward challenge and whichever tribe wins it get's an advantage in the next immunity challenge and a clue to the immunity idol. We've got to win this challenge. Or at least, I feel we need to win this challenge. Whatever that advantage is we're going to need it because if we lose the next immunity challenge. We're in rough shape. I have alliances with Trace and Grace. I'm sort of working on one with Vince just in case I need to have his loyalty in the future. I know he was worried about his position in the tribe at this last tribal. So now that he sees that we weren't all lying about getting out Nicholas, he may start to trust us more. My hope is that we can win this next challenge, then the tribes will change and we can move forward four strong. I also have my cross tribal alliance with Blaine. I've never really sought out a cross tribal ally before in any ORG. But I feel that with the four tribe twist I'm going to need someone who I can work with outside the tiny tribe I'm currently on

"manco capac"

- Oh Nuno, oh Nuno,The month right now is, June oh,Oh Nuno, oh Nuno,Do you eat your soup with a, spoon oh?Oh Nuno, oh Nuno,We all love, you oh. Thank you, I'll be here all week. Now gameplay wise: I made an alliance w/ Tom and Ivan, so luckily I have the majority on my tribe. Still can't believe that we pulled off second. I was sure we were doomed. Nicholas went home from Murcocka or whatever it is, so that's good. I wouldn't have aligned with him later on, so overall, good first episode for me.

"cobo"

- These hosts are making me do confessionals...

"manco capac"

- No one can get this cat going, we need fire. We need this reward.

"qala"

- This reward challenge really means a lot to me, personally. Having that idol could really change my position in the game, and if Qala won it, then I think our morale would go up even higher considering that we nearly lost a member yesterday. So I'm gonna do my best and encourage my tribe to do the same, cause we could really use this win.

"murokata"

- Soooo hey, we won reward! *throws confetti* I've been thinking for the last day or two how to sort of seamlessly create a three person alliance of myself, Trace and Grace. Thankfully my prayers were answered in the form of Vince not submitting for the reward challenge (which we still managed to win, get rekt nerds). So now that Vince has put a target on his back. I was able to pull the three of us together, so in the event we lose again and have to go back to tribal I should be okay. But hey, this is Survivor. anything could happen. Vince could find the idol and for that reason I need to keep him close to me. Assure him, make him feel safe. So if he finds it, he may feel like telling me (probably not though :P)

"qala"

- Okay, I didn't say this before now cause I wasn't sure if I could trust them, but Jordan and Jake approached me on Day Two to make an alliance with me. I haven't said that I'm in an alliance with either, but honestly I trust them. Jordan I trust more than Jake, but I at least know that I have both of them on my side if necessary. Might turn on Jake at some point due to challenge liability and the fact that I can't trust him a whole lot this early in the game but I'm hoping that is three get far in this game.

"qala"

- Day 4 5 Confessional - Nifty

Day 5
"cobo"

- Well we lost reward today. Whatever. That game was hard as hell. So of course we get to the immunity challenge and it's Winterbells. *sigh*

"qala"

- I was chosen to sit out because I suck in the challenge. I learned from my ally Niffy that was a target for sucking in challenges "manco capac"

- Is Casey good at anything. I don't want to lose anybody at all until I have to, but when I have too. Her grave is already buried.

"cobo"

- Oh my gosh I just did better at Winterbells than I've ever done ever. I really hope that's enough to keep us away from Tribal Council, because to be honest, I'm worried. I have barely heard from anyone. Melca is missing in action, Lucky is reserved, Blake is... well, Blake, so he's the wild card. Blaine is the only one I trust right now. If he screws me over, I can kiss Isla del Sol goodbye. If we do go to Tribal, I want him and Blake to vote out Melca with me. That seems like the most logical course of action to take at this point. I hope that this tribe doesn't get paranoid and antsy and perceive me as a threat, otherwise I'm toast.

"qala"

- I'm fairly confident that I now have control of this tribe. I'm the most active guy, I got good strategic ideas, I'm pretty sure that I could easily be viewed as a leader, and I got an alliance with Jordan and Jake. If we lose this challenge somehow, I'm pretty sure that I can just say 'Vote out Andrei' and the other two would do it. I could even approach Minke about it, bring up the fact that he doesn't talk a lot and isn't very active on the tribe in general, and get her vote for Andrei to go as well, making it a 4-1 for Andrei to go. My only concerns with this is two things: 1) Andrei, Minke, and Jake have an alliance, and Jake is more loyal to them than he is to Jordan and I. 2) Minke tells Andrei that I'm targetting him, and they manage to drag Jake to their side and all of them vote me out because I'm a leader figure, and I had that paranoia strike on Day 2. However, I don't view these things as huge concerns at the moment. Right now I just need to finish on winning this immunity challenge, and if we lose, then I'll just have to proceed with caution into tribal council.

"manco capac"

- I love carrying a team. It's fun. Hope they sleep well out here, because the million is coming to Daddy

"qala"

- Alright, so apparently I've been fairly good at the challenges so far. If this keeps up and I turn out to be an all-around game threat, I might just have to end up throwing challenges at the merge phase (if I get there) and calming down my clear leadership a bit, maybe handing it over to someone else once we dissolve into the other tribes. That, or I could do the Mike Holloway strategy by winning nearly every immunity challenge in the merge until I make it to the end, and get voted to win 'cause I had a nice personality and a great game. But I'd rather go with the former. As for my position in Qala right now, I just spoke to Minke about her opinions on the other tribe mates and I figured out that she wants Jordan gone the most (unless its me and she doesn't want to say it to my face, but I kinda think she's after Jordan more than anyone else.) Personally, I want Andrei to go home over Jordan, so I might do some talk with Andrei and Minke seperately and try to control their votes if we go to tribal, in which I convince Minke that Jordan is going home, I talk to Andrei and have him vote out who he wants most gone and convince him majority is going that way, and then Jordan, Jake, and I all get out Andrei. That's my game plan at the moment, at least. Might edit it with things that go on in the next couple of days.

"qala"

- I've been reading up on past ORG confessionals and such to see how the gameplay is, and also get advice on future situations and just gain awareness in general. I've been reading all these Episode 1, Days 1-3 confessionals and how the people always get around to talking and making alliances right away. I don't know if I'm just having better luck, or doing something wrong, but I literally didn't make any alliances or talk to many people (besides Minke) individually on Day One. So either I'm doing something wrong and should be worried, or this game is just a little different for me. I don't know which one is a better answer. I mean, as someone who's completely new to the ORG community I guess I should expect that different people play different ways, but there is this common theme of alliance making and huge interaction within the first few days...it might just be that there's the twist of 4 starting tribes, and the fact that we are in tribes of 5, but I honestly feel like I just missed a crucial part of gameplay. I think I mighta been makin' it up because of the fact that I"m the most active guy in this tribe, talking and bringing up subjects to talk about all the time, but I don't get to know the people a whole lot just one-on-one.

"qala"

- Oh yea should also point out that I told Jordan that both Minke and Andrei want him out. I did some talking with both and said that I'd get the majority to vote out Jordan, but that's a load of bullcrap. I'm just making the Europeans feel like they're safe, when in reality I'm turning us Americans against them--just like I wanted to--so that they stay in the minority. And, if Jake turns out to be a flipper, then at least Jordan gets out in a 3-2 vote and not me! Yea, also told Jake about the whole plan. He wants Andrei out as well, so I'm hoping he's truthful on that and takes him out with us if we ever go to tribal as this Qala tribe. Otherwise I'm either getting blindsided or left in the minority. In other words, I know pretty much everyone's position unless it's all geared towards me, which I suspect a little but not to the point where I'm concerned about it.

"cobo"

- This challenge gave me anxiety and high blood pressure

"qala"

- We're safe! 5% of the competition is gone and I'm still here. That isn't impressive at all but I'm gonna role with it cause it's a confessional

"manco capac"

- Wow, that one was pretty close. But once again Manco Capac survives........ On survivor. No pun intended.

"qala"

- YEEEEEESSSS YESSITY YES YES! We won immunity again! Ugh, so happy right now! I'm super excited to last even longer in the game, and I'm hopin' that a tribe swap or tribe dissolve occurs sometime soon (maybe tomorrow, maybe even at F16) 'cause this little tribe here, I'm not sure how stable my position in it really is. I keep saying that I have the majority, but Jake is the wildcard here that keeps me questioning my own position, so if I could swap into a new tribe without him, I'd feel a lot more comfortable in this game. As for the challenge, freaking Grace got 18 billion points like what. She said that she plays the game often when she responded to my post on the facebook group page, but 18 billion? God dang, that's just...wow. Speaking of high scores, I was the highest of Qala (and 2nd highest of all the people who sent in scores) with 12 million points, so I'm not sure if that'll have other people make me seem like a threat in the future, but it's definitely something I think is noteworthy. Curious as to if the tribe holds me to a higher value or as a higher threat 'cause of this...meh, either way, we're safe for today and get a guaranteed pass into Day 9! Which is June 20th! My one main goal at this stage is to make it to June 21st, so I'm already that much closer to making it there. Ugh, this victory feels so good. I know it'll end at some point but I really hope it doesn't end anytime soon.

Day 6
"cobo"

- BZB, it can mean anything. I'm glad that I made an alliance with Zane and Blaine. A rhyme that is less than a dime. I hope that it would be a duty, to kick some booty.

"qala"

- Day 6 Confessional - "Paradox of Emotions"

"cobo"

- May Winterbells burn in hell. I really liked the direction my tribe was heading in, but after that fucking challenge it turns out the only place we're going is Tribal Council. Going in I knew Melca and Blake were on the chopping block, but after talking to Zane, we decided on Melca. If it was just up to me, I'd rather keep Melca because: 1. I really liked the conversation we had on Day 1. 2. Blake has never talked to me until today. 3. I feel like Melca would have my back more than Blake. We later got Lucky on board, so I feel like everything's set in stone.But today the strangest thing happened when Blake started talking to me out of fucking no where. He proposes an alliance with myself and Zane, called BZB, and starts going on about going to the F3 and how we're really tight and shit. I just nodded and went along. I am solid with my alliance with Zane, but idk about this one. It's just nice that my name hasn't really come up and if we lose again, which we better not, I'll be safe again.

"qala"

- The whole next step in my strategy revolves around two factors which can happen/change within the next few days. 1) Jake's loyalty to the Ameriqala Alliance (that's what I'm calling our alliance of Jordan, Jake, and I) and 2) how soon the tribe dissolve/swap is. If either of these things change within the next episode, then I need to adapt my strategy accordingly to make sure that I can survive to the next round without having major damage done to my personal game. So, really, Day 7 decides a lot of things for me.

"cobo"

- Oh. My. God.So we lost the challenge yesterday and this game has officially begun. Blaine and I have formed a core two. We're now in the process of deciding how we want to proceed.Blake thinks we're working with him. For now, we are. Until we're not. Which will come later. But unlike Blake, I wanna make sure I'm taking this game one small step at a time.I have to make sure the majority rules in Cobo. I'm like the shepherd, keeping all the little sheep in the majority pen, only slaughtering the weaklings or shaving the ones that need to be brought down a peg. On Isla del Sol, Little Bo Peep will fuck you up if you try to mess with his numbers.Unfortunately, shepherds have to make those tough decisions. Tonight we have to vote Melca out, and it's gonna suck. But that's the way it goes. If I don't keep the sheep that follow me, the wolves will come and kill everything I've worked for.And that is NOT gonna happen.

"qala"

- kay so I've finally something to confess :D Thing is, Nifty's been acting freaking annoying around camp and today I found out Jake feels the same way. I got voted out of Rome because I apparently was too dominating but Nifty is definitely way worse so for his own sake it might be better if we just voted him off before he gets in contact with Grace, hehe. Tho we would have to go to tribal council for that and I don't think that will happen as long as Nifty keeps bossing around and tell us which scores are good and which aren't, while being so insanely good at orisinal games himself :x Also, Jake told me something very interesting today. Apparently Nifty wants to vote off me and Andrei but Jake doesn't want that so now there is an alliance between me Jake and Andrei (although Andrei doesn't know about it yet... But he is bae so I'm sure he will agree kiki emoticon ). So I'm in an majority for now I guess but I'm not sure if we're gonna have the chance to find out if the alliance is real.

"qala"

- It's like his first org and he thinks he is better than anyone else "oh look at me I scored a million I doubt anyone is gonna beat that" "oh oop, grace has 18 billion that was unexpected" Well if he had just stopped talking and let someone else add to the conversation he was having on his own, I could have told him she was that good but he didn't really ask anything about anything >_>
