Rips Off Your Toes Cutely/Confessionals

Day 1
"yowoggera"

- Prediction: Morgan will become sole survivor

"yowoggera"

- I had no idea the cast reveal bios were going to be revealed to the other players smh my head. I guess I should've figured but I basically put my strategy on my bio and nobody else did LMAO. Since this is my first confessional, I guess I can enlighten you guys a little bit more about my experience with ORGs in the past. I haven't played in an actual ORG since 2017, and I've only played for one "network" that allowed players to return and portray any type of character they want. I usually did pretty well, but the strategy I used was always game-botty and ignorant of a social game. I've never made it past the final 5, so here's to change this season! I refrained from playing ORGs because I have had a lot of bad experiences. A lot of people took my moves too personally, and in my most dominant season the entire jury kinda just ganged up on me and it damaged a lot of my friendships (though, I will admit I was in the wrong for the way I acted too). Last summer, I made the mistake of hosting an ORG for the same network. Although I had a cohost, he never really did anything, so I spent hours upon hours every day running the challenges, collecting conversations (in the network we collected every single conversation so it can be re-read) and on top of that I played a character to fill an empty slot. As I said, on that Wiki, you could portray anybody you like, and my character was an older male. I am a male and was 18 years old IRL, and a man who is in his LATE 20S IRL portrayed a young female. This grown adult's character accused my character of "sexual assault" and essentially forced me to remove my player. Being the only host, I couldn't just step away or else the season would crumble, so I had to finish hosting that god-awful season. Not to mention, most of the players showed me zero respect. Ahem, sorry, that was quite the tangent but it reinforces the point that ORGs honestly scare me at times. I will NOT let the game get personal for me. I won't ever ease off the gas in terms of how hard I play the game, but I'm primarily here for fun and I'm not going to let anybody ruin that. Shit, this is probably way too long but I am really excited to try out an ORG completely different from what I'm used to, and I hope it'll be a nice experience.

"yowoggera"

- So, everyone seems nice so far. The returnee twist is interesting. We'll just have to see what happens.

"yowoggera"

- Mk

"yowoggera"

- 1st confession of the season!

And hosts, I love you, but Anarchy starts SUCK. Like I love socializing, but damn 17 people at once is a pain to keep track of lol. Anyways, so far I immediately talk to Jason, Magnus, and Cole again since I knew them from previous orgs and have worked with them enough to have a decent relationship with them. Jason is an easy #1 since we have been allys in every org we have been in and each time it has worked out very successfully.

As for the new people I'm meeting today, I have really gotten along with Gavin, Logan, and Nat, but not enough to really click so far. Yeah our conversations so far flow, but we really need to get the game started and in tribes to really see who I want to work with.

"yowoggera"

- This twist is very interesting. It is complete luck whether you get immunity or not. Oh well, I guess I have to make a choice. Hopefully, I make the correct choice and am safe at tribal council.

"yowoggera"

- Ughhhh I don't like anarchy because there are just sooo many people to account for. I'm optimistic about it, and I don't think there will be much reason for people to target me early on, but a big group means that the momentum of a plan is a lot stronger. If some plan is formed to vote for somebody, most people will go with what they hear simply because there are so many people. Nobody wants to make the first move, so I'm trying my best to not speak of any alliances or talk too much about the challenge. Speaking of the challenge, it'll be hard to reach a decision. If I get the sense that a lot of people are going to pick safety, I'll voluntarily sacrifice. If I feel that I've formed enough basic friendships that I'll slide past the first vote, I'll sacrifice immunity because I feel safe. Nat and I already want to form an alliance because we know each other, and we hope to link up with Andrew and Logan because we're all from a mutual Discord server (Survivor Fanon Wiki). As of now, I've also spoken to Cole, Gavin, JJ, Kamen, and Magnus, and they all seem like nice people. I'll expand on my read on people once I get to know them a little more.

"yowoggera"

- OK so like we've been marooned but we haven't been divided into tribe and also there are three returning players so that's 2 twists in 1 day. I suspect that after our 24 hours of bonding they're going to have us schoolyard pick our tribes, starting with the returning players so that we're in 3 tribes of 6

"yowoggera"

- ok so I'm going to do a day 1 cast assessment

Andrew: He's been a little inactive but he is sick so I don't hold it against him Brady: I have hosted him twice before but we aren't exactly close and he's been quiet here as well Catnip: She's nice enough and she seems excited about the game so I don't really have anything memorable to say about her Conch: I love Conch they are really fun, they're queer and they like drag race which wis something we've been bonding over Eamonn: Inactive Gavin: We haven't talked all that much but I have enjoyed our short conversations together Izzy: She is the dryest goddamn person here, I tried starting conversation with her and she would only send 1 word answers. For someone with an anime based Manga, Name, and PfP she is really boring Jason: Jason is so annoying, they just like don't shut the fuck up, it's taking me all I can to tell them to not shut the fuck up Kamen: I have played with Kamen 4 times and each time we have worked together and this time is no different Logan: They are one of the more quieter people but I think they have good banter so far even if it isn't a lot Magnus: I was so disappointed to see Magnus here.They have elimineted me twice. they're a really good and cutthroat player so I'm gonna try to take them out Mason: Inactive Nat: I have played with Nat before so I think I can get a working relationship with them but they do have a big personality so I have to be wary of that Nick: Inactive Ollie: Inactive Cole: I have met Cole on two other occasions but this is the first tine that we've had the opportunity to play together so I'm excited to see how that plays out Morgan: Inactive, which is disappointing because they are a returning player

Tal: Tal has hosted me twice before but we aren't particularly close but I think I can work with himbecause he is familiar with me

Day 2
"yowoggera"

- So with Anarchy, I love it and hate it. While I do like the odds being far better for me to stay overall, I hate having to rely on individual challenges and hate having to remember everything from 17 people's dms.

Now with this first "challenge" I honestly feel extremely confident for once that I'll be able to survive regardless of what I choose. If I choose safety and it sticks, then ofc I'm all good. If I choose sacrifice then my odds increase everytime someone else sacrifices as more people = more room to move around and make sure I'm not the vote. And if I end up getting immunity due to a bunch of people taking safety, then boom I'm safe there too. All I have to do is talk to everyone and make sure I'm on their good sides and I should be good at the end of this round.

"yowoggera"

- ok so um we are in anarchy so what is that, 3 twists in 2 days, great

"yowoggera"

- I hate this Immunity challenge

"yowoggera"

- I spent the first day mostly just observing. I made up some kinda bullshit excuse about feeling awful (which I did, but only on Sunday) while chiming in just to avoid being the first boot.

I would be worried about the whole existence of the SFW people and *especially* the fact that Gavin got invited to the SFW server today but I think I’m just going to not bring it up and if he wants to talk about it then fine by him. As for tribal, I think I already have a plan. Brady has been complete and utter radio silence and while I haven’t gotten anything back from most players it’s because they’re offline. The one person who I did get back from and was completely and utterly uninteresting was Izzy. I really hate to call names but from everything I’ve seen from Izzy they seem super young. Like the youngest person I know in orgs is a guy named Twelve (who ironically enough is 13) and I feel like Izzy is younger than that. I don’t know, I’m just guessing. Izzy, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry. Anyways, besides that, I did tell Mason that I was open to making a SFW alliance. Now I do not plan on upholding this at ALL because of the existence of Gavin and if he smells anything fishy he can call us all out. Nat really fucked us over by asking who did his manga because now Gavin knows that Nat lied and something could be going on. Doesn’t help that he hasn’t talked to me since joining the server.

As for the challenge, I feel safe. Hopefully a 9-9 situation occurs and I can safely boot Brady but I feel like he might just get a strike anyways. If Brady is immune, then Izzy. If Izzy is also immune, panic ensues, but I feel like I have enough people who have decent levels of trust in me (I’ve never been good at getting to the next level but in these surface level situations I should be good) to boot someone who’s inactive. I can’t really pinpoint anyone else yet, though.

"yowoggera"

- Ugh having no tribes at the start is pretty bad for me because I want tribes to exist so I can get a footing in the game. I'm like a snowball, the longer I stick around, the harder it is to take me out. Thats why you see me getting out super early either pretribe or super early merge or lasting deep into the game. With about half of the people being immune, I have no room to hide as there isnt much targets except for the three returnees and I'm one of them. I hope I can get this immunity and pray theres gonna be tribes next week.

"yowoggera"

- Until now everything is, like, caos. But I think I handke this.

I don't like the anarchy, I don't like the first immunity challenge as well. But, I try to have an active conersation with each of the players, that the only way I will be able to get people to trust me.

I have a lot of plans for this season, and this is the first step for getting these.

"yowoggera"

- I like the cast but there’s way too many people on a tribe. Socially, I’m a mess and adding to the amount of tribe members doesn’t help. I have a small fanon alliance going on plus I think Gavin will work with me. I get good vibes from a few different people like Conch, Jason, Kamen, Tal, and Magnus. I don’t get a good vibe from Izzy. She rejected my friend request and keeps screaming in the chat “BOTTOMS” which is funny once, annoying the rest of the time.

"yowoggera"

- Izzy made the right choice by saving herself tonight lmao. I think everybody is rubbed the wrong way by her very odd behavior. However, Purple Brady was second on my list and he didn’t save himself, so I think I’ll end up voting for him. I have my solid alliance with Andrew, Logan, and Nat, and it appears that Cole, Conch, Magnus, are all good with voting for Brady as well. I mean, as long as people don’t get too antsy to play the game, Brady should be the one to go.

"yowoggera"

- It looks like most people agree with the plan to vote off Brady tonight. I felt a little bad because I had dmed him and he responded pretty quickly, but he hasn’t responded since so oh well. Nick is worse than Brady at least in my case (Brady responded twice, Nick only once), but there’re too many people on board already to change things up. I don’t want to let my alliance with Andrew/Logan/Nat somehow get exposed. It looks like the four of us have mutual trust in Conch and Magnus right now, but I don’t think we want to initiate an actual alliance just because there are so many people. Izzy’s causing trouble too, shocker. They told Andrew I think that the vote’s for Nat, and I think Izzy’s just trolling.

"yowoggera"

- I have probably forgotten a good chunk of exciting things from Day 1, but I'll try to remember at least the important ones.

The cast. A lot of cool avatars, couple interesting people. I thought it was already silly weird that Arlie was hosting and I needed to communicate with him while he was in the redemption house for Fresh Meat, but apparently that wasn't enough. Apparently, I needed three more Fresh Meat players, namely Brady, Eamonn and Cole. Now, Cole and me are really good in Fresh Meat right now, so that's lovely. Obviously, can't know for sure, cause it's still different things and we may end up on different alliances and what have you, but it's at least a starting point and likelihood that we will keep each other individually, even if on different sides and such. I don't think I've spoken to Brady in Fresh Meat, maybe just couple messages. So... I don't really have any feelings about that. Now Eamonn... Ah, the drama king. Nope, don't want to deal with that kind of player, though probably useful to pretend I'm friendly due to prior connections for the sake of potential of future ones. I sort of wonder if the returnees were simply a back up plan, The people. Definitely an influx of new chaos with so many new people to talk to and remember their pronouns and their life facts and things from their bios (by the way, I feel my bio was the longest and I wanna grunt at people who didn't put any). I think on the first day more people messaged me than I messaged them. I still messaged a few and started building bonds. After the first couple days, I felt mostly connected to Conch, Kamen and Tal, and - obviously - Cole. Though like mentioned before, Cole's connection is pretty much due to Fresh Meat, if I consider specifically Meanjin, it feels at neutral. Probably nothing to worry about, but be wary about should help. I do talk a lot with Nat too, so that's a good thing to have - also he's another kpoper. But several things just don't click as much to actually enjoy that for proper personal reasons, it's more surficial and social for the sake of the game. It sounds more mean than I mean it though, I'd say. Age. Sometimes I wonder if I should have revealed my age. I feel old. A lot of people seem to be still in high school, and I can definitely see high levels of immaturity. I still some pleasant examples of youth, for example Kamen. Also, it feels I'm more uneased by others' age than they are by mine, so I probably should forget about it soon. Alliances. Speaking of Kamen, Conch initiated an alliance between us three. Getting good vibes so far, obviously knows what can happen later. Somehow immediately I'm telling them a lot of what I know about other players and overall info what I get in the game. On one hand I feel I should be more careful, but at the same time, if it's an alliance, I may as well give into it and see how it goes. I mean, this is my first Survivor ORG, how else can I find the best gameplay strategy for me unless I try some sort of one and see how it goes, right? The challenge. Now, everyone kept saying it's all about just luck and guesswork. I'm not sure if they really don't understand or if they pretend to not to, to mask their own plans and strategies for it. It's essentially game theory. And while I do recognise game theory, I'm bad at it. Even though based on my education (even if incomplete) I kinda should. But essentially, to me this game is about one of the two things: either simply figuring out based on yomi, what will people go for and go for the other option instead (i.e. you very much need to end on the minority choice); or talk to people and tell lies and give and take info to be able to have the knowledge about what the minority choice will be. Now, the latter is extremely tough to execute considering it's just the first challenge, and bonds are very much not a thing, and it's a lot of people to talk to like that and what have you, so it's not really an option here. Now for the former... I maybe sort of can do something there. My logic was that people are usually risk averse, so they will be too scared to go for safety, in case that gets reversed and they lose it. Now, going for sacrifice essentially does the same thing, but there's that risk of losing something you don't actually have... So the majority should go for sacrifice. Thus I decided to go for safety.

And that, ladies and gentlemen and other folk, is apparently how you win immunity ;)

"yowoggera"

- I think that most people are on the same page that Izzy is weird. I don’t understand their behavior, the obsession with toes, the Steven Universe gifs, etc. But the fact that Izzy does not respond to DMs is the worst part. I’ve spoken to Conch, Magnus, and Nat about Izzy, and all three seem to agree that Izzy is good first-boot material. I’ve tried to strike up a conversation with as many people as possible, and most have responded. Brady, Eamonn, and I know at least a couple others are still MIA, but hopefully they’ll make it to camp soon. I like pretty much everybody at this point, too. It can be hard to keep a conversation flowing simply because I don’t want to reveal a lot about my real life, and just having met a lot of people makes it difficult to find things to talk about. Regardless, I think my “allies” in the game, or at least those who I’ve established a baseline of trust with, include Andrew, Conch, Logan, Magnus, Morgan, and Nat. Andrew, Logan, Nat, and myself are all a part of the Survivor Fanon Wiki, so we all want to look out for each other just as courtesy. Conch and I verbally agreed to look out for each other as well. I would hope for the others, although we didn’t explicitly agree that we would be forming an alliance or partnership, that some form of mutual trust has been established.

"yowoggera"

- Just won Immunity!! Feels great, nervous about what will go down at tribal tho....

"yowoggera"

- Everyone is telling me Brady, I'm just probably gonna go with Majority. Getting nice conversations with some peeps.

Day 3
"yowoggera"

- Hi everyone! I'm Conch, and I've spent the past year or so trying to write a book! Instead of writing that book right now, I'm going to procrastinate and give my first impressions of everyone on the cast:

Andrew: Andrew messaged me and he seems nice enough, but doesn't quite know how to talk to people. I said one thing about myself and he immediately changed the subject and started monologuing about his hometown. So now I know about which municipalities in Florida are and aren't incorporated? Cool, I guess? Brady: Brady isn't replying to anyone, so people are already bringing his name up, and immunity hasn't even been called yet. Catnip: I LOVE Catnip. If you told me 5 days ago that a 30 year old Lithuanian woman was going to be my ride or die, I wouldn't have believed you. But we've already gotten really close. So far she's the only person on this cast I can truly be myself around, partially because we're the 2 oldest people here (I might be wrong on that, I don't know everybody's age) and can talk shit about work and whatnot, and partially because we just get each other. We've agreed that we're a tight 2, and have talked about bringing Kamen in as well, since we both like him a lot. Not to speak too soon, but if thinks shake out right, I think Catnip and I could run this game. Conch: What a loser. Ew. Eamonn: Like Brady, he's inactive, and his name is floating around. Catnip really wants to vote him out because she played 703 the Challenge with him and apparently he was rude and picked fights with everyone. I too would like to vote him out. Gavin: I have no idea what to make of Gavin. I saw him play in main org, and he spent the entire game just reacting with his own mangatar to everything, but everyone thought he was an endearing meme so he made it to final 8 and was in a pretty tight alliance. It seems like he's trying to do the same thing again. Except this time the memeing is more surreal. He's making memes of other players in the tribe chat, but all the memes consist of is the person's name and a completely unrelated image. I've tried to figure these memes out and I cannot. Am I just too old? He's also doing some weird cannibalistic/sexual roleplay (????) with Izzy in the tribe chat, and it's frankly a little disturbing. He reached out to me and we talked a little, but I didn't learn much about him. He's kind of hard to talk to. Or maybe we just have nothing in common. Izzy: Oh boy. Where do I start. Izzy, what is your deal???? You are possibly the most active person in the tribe chat and keep spamming the chat with bottoming content. Don't get me wrong, I like bottoming as much as the next enby, but as a 25 year old, I just can't ethically engage with bottoming content from a bunch of minors). Are you intentionally excluding people? Also, why are you not replying to anybody's messages??? Why do you have so much time for this bottoming spam but no time to DM????? Izzy's name is spreading like wildfire for obvious reasons and I would love to vote them out and finally free the tribe chat from this bullshit. Jason: I love Jason. They're a bit awkward but in a way I really vibe with. They do drag and are great at makeup. I'm trying to make my face more androgynous and got some great tips and youtube video links from Jason. Somebody I would love to work with, even though our strategy talks have been very limited. Kamen: Kamen is very sweet and we've had some great conversations. Extremely introspective and soulful, especially for a high schooler. Catnip loves him too and we've agreed to bring him in as our #3. Logan: I watched Logan play main org and nobody really gave him a chance to play. I reached out to him and let him know that I didn't appreciate that behavior from his tribemates and that I had his back. He seemed really appreciative. Idk if I actually have his back (if he rubs everyone the wrong way, I'll cut him loose so fast), but he could potentially be a good ally/shield. Magnus: Another extremely sweet, soulful high schooler. Crushing the social game. Strategic too. Definitely an all-around threat. A good person for me to align with (for now) Mason: Mason reached out to me and started talking game right away. Is he just extremely trusting, or is he trying to throw out a name and then pin me as the name-thrower? Either way, Mason, my dude, you've thrown out a lot of names for day 3: Izzy, Brady, and Eamonn so far. Strange gameplay from someone who said he wanted to start out slow and ramp up in his bio. If this is slow, what does Mason at a 10 look like? I'm afraid to find out. Nat: When I read Nat's bio, I was like who the hell do they think they are? And sure, Nat is a diva. But Nat's also a total charmer. I've really enjoyed our talks so far, and they have a way of making you feel like the most interesting, important person who's ever existed. That's a dangerous skill. They're probably the funniest person this season, an almost guaranteed fan favorite, and have such a good social game that they could run this season if we let them. Also, the fact that I genuinely am interested in Nat's rap career is a testament to just how charming they are. When the album comes out, I'm buying. Nick: I have not talked to Nick. Nobody has talked about Nick. I'll reach out to him sooner or later Ollie: I have not talked to Ollie either. He's more active in the tribe chat than Nick though. I'll reach out to him before I reach out to Nick. Cole: Cole seems nice, I guess. Are conversation was a bit forgettable. We talked about how he's a returnee and I'm new to orgs. Then the conversation petered off. Morgan: Morgan's my favorite of the returnees so far, all of whom are much less talkative than I expected. But Morgan seems really genuine. And probably the smartest person in this cast. We talked about civil engineering (and by that I mean he talked about civil engineering, because I don't know shit). Tal: Tal may be a victim of timezones. Then again, he's in the same timezone as Catnip, who I've been talking with the most, so who knows. We talked very briefly about how he lives in Israel and I live in Boston. That was it.

I apologize for how long this confessional has been! I will never let a confessional go on this long again. Thanks for your patience!

"yowoggera"

- So this anarchy twist was definitely unexpected. I think I have done an okay job at talking to people, and Brady seems to be the consensus for his inactivity.

"yowoggera"

- I'm very nervous about this tribal council even though there has only been 1 name I'm the air but I'm always nervous about being the victim of a blindside

"yowoggera"

- Ok so Brady went home which wasn't a shock his name was the only one in the air
