We Love Some Math/Confessionals

Day 3
"hakra"

- Oh my god so like I don’t even know how to put my thoughts together here because this start has been wild. I say that because this tribe is extremely active and they are ALL here to play. I have tried to keep up with all of the conversation but it is just tough. I have bonded with Matt the most in my opinion and also have talked with Nathan. I was just about to give a summary about how much I hate this challenge because I don’t have a clue what the hell is going on and then unfortantly somebody on the other tribe had to withdraw so okay. Gonna go continue to make some bonds! Wish me luck

"hakra"

- God damn periods I hate fucking punctuation and those who enforce the use of punctuation. Dont take personally hosts BUT stick those ......... where the sun dont shine. Our tribe is fun and i am glad challenge was cancelled, but feel bad for Nathan. Hope all works out for him

"hakra"

- This is the worse. I hope Nicholas family is doing well and I wish him the best for the future.

"lothal"

- Well damn, Nick C is out of the game. Definitely a shame since I've been working at them for quite a while now, plus we're down in numbers. I need a new go-to ally now.

"lothal"

- I'm being misled by dogs and lavagirls here. Where in the world is this idol? I swear I'm gonna find the other tribe's idol instead at some point. That'll just be sad.

Incinerator out.

"lothal"

- Well it sucked losing one of our own but on the bright side - not the first boot! Poor Nicholas though, at least he was talkative, hope he's okay.

This is really a silent tribe, both in tribe chat and in pms. I hope it's not just me D: Feels like game barely started but oh well. Hopefully next challenge will get the game rolling!

"lothal"

- I'm spitting out Vi's name to a few folks. Hopefully a high possibility of who we should vote off.

"lothal"

- I spent most of my time with Nicholas, put all my eggs in that basket if you will. This puts me in a tough spot, having lost my only ally. I'll try talking to a few people and see who I get along with because I'm not going to last in this game without some sort of alliance.

"lothal"

- I've been looking damn everywhere for this idol. I've been checking logs, hyperlinks, OTHER wikis, outside of Wikia and I've even be boosting the contrast of images to look for secret messages.

I'm still coming out empty handed every hour though. The sands of time are taking it's toll.

"hakra"

- Nicholas' evacuation just saved my ass from being the first boot in case my tribe loses the first challenge, after when I fucked up the whole thread while typing. On another way, I really feel bad about his current situation right now and so does us and the opposing tribe- Hopefully he feels better sooner.

"hakra"

- Ok hi everyone my unforgettable name if Matisse, but you already knew that.

It's time for my first confessionnal, be ready I'll tell you a lot of things.

So in my team we have :

-Ace

-Adam

-Antoine

-Chieko

-Courtney

-Lex

-Matt

-Nathan

I've talked to all of these people. I've got a very specific opinion for each of them, I'm too lazy to Screenshot the convos, but I promise I'll explain everything. So let's start guys for the Matisse's one man show !

I'll start with Adam, he seems to be either distant or maybe we talked too late. In all the cases I won't let him think that I Don't take care of him, I want to play as social as I can for this beginning and nobody has to be that distant.

Ace is a bit more friendly, I'll try to develop Something clean between us even if it's obvious that he has his preferences, my goal is to get a part of trust from as much persons as I can to get all the informations I can. I truly Don't want to let away some elements that could make me in trouble in this game.

Then we have Antoine, he's the one I had the most intense and interesting conversations with. He's from Québec as we say in France, he's very nice but I found Inside him a very developed brain open for strategy. I think it's the typical calm guy who's planing his stratgies in the shadows. That means I HAVE TO keep him in my side, apparently he likes me very much, we have some things in common. I like him as well, we have an alliance, but, do you guys remember my sign up ? I'm an antipathic vilain player. I trust absolutely nobody, but I'm doing as much as I can to make them trusting me. Sooooo Antoine is really the guy I have the most to stare at.

Chieko ! She's a Young girl who clearly told me that her complicated life will be her priority, for me it's the best Opportunity to listen her, be confident, then just take her in my Pocket, I think I can achieve this, she's even starting to talk about our mates, she admitted that Ace left her read, that is a good new for me because she's starting to tell me some infos, if I give her back some infos I know (true or fake idk) she'll really start to think that I am a clean guy. My advantage is that I've a Young age, it helps me to hide myself in the cover of the little french naive boy. Chieko is still an intelligent and lucid person for her age, I appreciate that, maybe it helps to understand each other. In all the cases, she's someone that I want to keep in the Pocket because I've a good feeling about her potential loyalty to me.

Courtney, she's nice ! But I'm sure she hides a huge potential, idk if I'm just paranoid but she's extremely calm, naturally friendly, the mainstream social player. She even told me that she's talking about life with everyone. I think that she has a lot of friends, so I have to keep the fire rising up between her and me and especially to be careful about which infos I'll give to her. She's also a very careful player.

Lex is also from Québec and apparently a veteran of this Survivor Community, I truly think he's one of the most potential vilain/vicious/strategic player of this team, but I like talking with him, he has a good potential of social game. Since the language makes people get closer, I'll try to build up a real friendship with him, I have to see if he has some empathy or if he's just an antipathic playing the game as myself.

Matt… I Don't like this guy,even if he's in the alliance "Invasion française", I am clearly not part of his best friends, I see in our convos that he doesn't really take care to develop Something with me or not because he's already very close to Nathan. I'm 80% sure they both have an alliance.

Nathan ! I Precisely wanted to talk about him. He's a really Strange character, but I think one of the less Dangerous, he hard played to develop and based his group about his best first impressions about people, he had a sort of crush in me, Antoine and sadly Matt. He is the synonym of the man who overplays, tryharding in order to not get paranoid which could blow up his whole gameplay. I'll just keep my correct Relationship with him in order to look at how he acts, but between us guys, I won't be surprised if some people soon tell me infos about him.

I wanted to talk about my strategy, but I realize that I've said everything when I was talking about my mates lol. I'm obviously very careful about my safety in this team, even if I think that I've made a pretty good start, I'm a paranoid player, but this is the good paranoia, the one who will bring you back to the Truth, the one who doesn't let you take too much trust in yourself.

Everyone in this team is really careful when we talk about the other people, it's just normal, but a few are hiding their game very efficiently, strategic spirits are growing up, I just have to catch them all to get the informations then plan my shit to survive without being a stupid goat.

I hope you all enjoyed this confessional, this was the Matisse's one man show episode 1 !

"lothal"

- Yargh! The Lethal Lothal tribe hath gotten thee elusive clue to thee idol, yar har!

Idol ahoy!

Day 4
"hakra"

- So Matisse voluntered to do the Hero Challenge, and he lost saying it was his fault he didn't win when he promised us to bring another idol clue to us. Honestly, I don't think we should put the blame at him, I mean't I've saw some people were disappointed when they didn't win against the other person from the other tribe, and I've felt this way before. Trust me, it's not really easy. He gave his best effort on this despite we didn't win the reward, so we can try our best next time when there's another reward challenge.

Also, did I hear some math? I love math. We love some math. But the question is, will it be somehow complicated rather than the basics? Maybe. We would really love and hate at the same time doing that.

"hakra"

- Hello sooo. My new assessment. I like Lex and Matisse the most. Got to know Chieko, Matt, and Ant a bit. Haven't really spoken to Nathan and Courtney but I do like them from what I seen of them in tribe chat. I think I'm forgetting someone... oh yes. Adam... who is that. Im sorry but I rarely see you talk XD Easy first target if we lose but that doesn't mean I feel confident about my own safety. Looking at this other tribe... Zack is clearly a beast. I'll be looking forward to getting to know him. Just hope I survive!

"lothal"

- Finally got around to talking to Vi. She seem's pretty decent but oh boy do I need to hear more.

Jury's still out on the idol's whereabouts though. The clock is ticking.

Incinerator out.

"hakra"

- Alright, so I guess I shall do a late night rant this time. We had been waiting for hours to decide our sitout- Until Adam comes and then literally say "I am terrible at math lol" when he was about to sitout. First of all, the way he did talk PISSES ME THE HELL OFF. Seriously. Just because you are terrible at something you have the right to come up with a shitty-ass reason, instead of saying you couldn't do it and maybe give a decent reasoning? Bullshit. Basically bullshit. No really, I really want this guy gone as the first boot if we even lose, that pathetic reasoning rubbed me in the wrong way and I don't like any shit excuses from anyone who's not willing to do the challenge.

"lothal"

- Alright a brand new ORG! I'm so keen for this ORG and I just can't wait to get my hands dirty. It was very sad that Nicholas had to leave because I felt like he could have been quite a bit help down the track but it still is good for me because you really don't want to be the first boot in any game you play. Saying that you also don't want to be the first one voted off and I really don't want that to happen to me. From the connections I have made though I think I will be fine because from what it seems I am getting along with everyone fine. For me at the moment the people that I like the most in order are XFire, Byron and then Zack. They are the three main people that I click with and that I can see me working together in the future. If I wanted to create some sort of alliance soon they would probably be the ones that I would want in it. Also something to not is that I have NO CLUE where the idol could be. I'm used to guessing something in your chat or having to guess a place on a map but this is something else. I really want to get to the bottom of it so I can be able to find the idol because I know how important they can be in stages throughout the game. So what else? I think if we did go to a vote Infinity would probably be the person I'd want to send home or to "infinity and beyond", I just don't get much from them and XFire also agrees that Infinity and others in the tribe are quite quiet and that doesn't really match up with my social kind of gameplay so I guess I will just have to do a bit of prodding to get some responses out of some of the tribe members. Also what I find interesting is that a lot of these players in the game are new players or people that I haven't talked to before. XFire I know quite well so he will probably be a very good ally for me to have but other than him I haven't seen any of my tribe mates in other games. This is compared to me who is experienced and has played my fair share of ORGs. I think I will be able to take advantage of this and create some rumbles under the camp which can turn into cracks. I think I will be able to do well in this game if I stick to my guns and do what is best for my game. I'm excited to see what is to come! I'm pretty good at maths but let's hope that we do more than pretty good in the challenge!

"lothal"

- I'm super glad I managed to win that reward challenge, it was a gamble to show myself within the tribe as a valuable member and hopefully it worked! I have no idea what to do with the clues yet but eh eventually I'll think about it.

Next is the immunity... Hopefully we can snatch it to even the numbers. I have no idea what's gonna happen if we actually go to tribal as this tribe is really quiet. I think I like Byron and Zack the most, Tom and Mark are okay, and rest is pretty null. Fingers crossed on this challenge bringing us together a bit more!

"hakra"

- Hey specs ! I've a short funny thing to say hehe. You know the reward challenge where I was volunteer and determined to bring back the idol clue ? In fact I did not even try to win this for one Reason : it's the beginning of this team, I want to know my mates to keep a real control of this informations. That's why I specificly wanted to NOT bring back the idol clue, it worked. I showed to almost everyone how "disappointed of myself" I was. I want to make them think that I'm a Young innocent and excited kid. I want to make them feel enough powerful to make them think that they can treat me as their goat/slave. What are their opinions about this ? I truly Don't know, it has permitted me to play a bit and I really had fun by doing this ! I'm very curious to know what will happen if we lose a challenge, how the strategic spirits will grow up. In all the cases, I'll do my best to stay intelligent still in playing a gameplay where I really have fun to play. The challenge just started, I'll try to answer just to show to my mates "how I can be a useful people in the determined criteria". I would like to lose this challenge to be honnest in order to send home a few people that either Don't talk that much to me or that I just Don't feel that good. I mean here Adam (first Reason) and maybe Ace or Matt (second Reason). Idk, I'll just see what happens and adapt myself haha ! See you for another confessional after the end of the challenge I guess.

"hakra"

- Damn, I can't believe Nick, Byron and Mark, all from the other tribe, has an alliance against me just because I kept heart reacting to my tribemates on the challenge. Sad.

"hakra"

- Also Byron changing my nickname was a really nice trolling attempt so I can stop reacting to every single thing. Sad.

"hakra"

- I'm a useless mess in this challenge. As a first language french speaker, this is so hard like I know english but I don't know my maths terms in english so in a race, i'm lost. I just have to keep trying and make myself at least someone that my tribe will keep around if we end up losing.

"hakra"

- This game so far has been something else. I'm becoming so invested that I am forgetting that we eventually have to vote people off and that realization is sucking. So far I'd like to make an alliance with Lex but I ask him who else he's comfortable with and he didnt say anyone but me. A lil sketchy. I may have better luck with Matt and Matisse so I'll ask them tonight.

"hakra"

- Anyways, you know what's more funny? Whenever someone from the opposite tribe scores a point, we will do the same thing with disliking their answers back as they had shown it before with us, and that's what I am exactly trying to do right now. At the moment, some people would see me as someone who didn't contribute to the challenge but reacting to everything, which it's at least better than losing a point in purpose, but I'm keeping my eye on it for a while and won't be posting anything unless I find the perfect timing where no one from Lothal guesses something.

"lothal"

- Looks like I've got an alliance with Zack, Tom, Byron, and XFire. Tom and I were talking and we noticed we both had good feelings about the same 3 people, so we reached out. This alliance of 5 seems to be made up of the most active 5, so that's good too. I found Jacob to be kind of rude, he kind of shut me down when I approached him. I'm pretty scared that Vi is having some health issues and I want to mercy vote her out to keep her mind off this game. I'm super glad that I found my footing, even though losing Nicholas was a harsh fall.

"hakra"

- Another late night rant coming from myself this time. Since it has been only three days I already knew all of my tribemates and socialized enough with what I can, here's my particular list in no order, on a scale from 1-10 on how I do enjoy talking to them and how much I do really want them to be voted out in case we don't win immunity. Part One is here for the meanwhile, so here we go.

Ace: We haven't talked that much, but when I tried to start my conversations with them, he left me on read twice, which it's not good that I really wanted to questioning about his lack of social effort from other tribemates. But on the other way, he seems nice based on the tribe chat, but his social is lacking. Like please, at least try to respond me back if you don't have time for other stuff, or just do a short response... It actually takes less than one minute and I don't see the reason why it is really so hard to type them back.

Enjoyment: 2.4/10.

Boot Rate: 4.5/10

Adam: ...Well, for sure, I do really still have a problem with this guy. Being terrible at math doesn't mean you are sitting out because of it, that's just a shittable excuse and hopefully he doesn't pull this crap again next time, because if he comes up with the same reasonable objective bullshit from before, he's automatically cancelled. I really want him gone as soon as possible, he's not meshing up well with the rest of us. Other than that, his conversations with me were basically bland at some point, but then... They turned out to be at least interesting?? Well, not really what do you think.

Enjoyment: 2.6/10, probably better than Ace though.

Boot Rate: 8.5/10

Courtney: Seems really bland. The only good part is at least there's another female on my tribe to talk with, so I don't need to talk with a bunch of disgusting men all day. My fear is that if she gets voted out, I wouldn't be so surprised thus have to deal with my I hate Men problem until there's a chance I'll may get swapped and end up on the other tribe, where I could meet up Vi for real time being who is also alone too and probably hates to deal with men.

Enjoyment: 2/10, none of her personality convinced me otherwise

Boot Rate: 4.2/10

"lothal"

- tag yourself i’m literally me talking to xfire saying how i look out for all my allies not just myself and always wanna keep them updated and never backstab them,, when in reality i would literally sell my mother out for the slightest advantage in any game. i’d pull the plug on my mom to win a game of uno,, these hoes can’t trust me. i only look out for myself.

"lothal"

- We busted our asses through hell and night in that challenge. Taking home the immunity idol when it was clearly needed. Jesus Christ does Nathan have some good maths skills. Might not prove good for him in the future however, it's all strength and creativity from down on.

Pressure of tribal council is out. The chronology speaks to me and says it's time for another idol hunt.

Ay, not only that but I'm in the majority alliance with Nick, X, Tom and Zack. We call ourselves the Lethal 5 or something like that. Who knows, maybe next tribal I could flip to the minority and bring along X to vote someone out. But that'd be hella stupid, despite the fact I am clear on not staying 100% loyal to this alliance. It's not clear to them, but I'm seeing snake eyes.

"hakra"

- Starting on the losing tribe again for the fourth time in a row. How cute. Cannot wait to get all of my tribemates pagonged later on!

"hakra"

- Also, it's really weird that I really like Courtney right now while we are at Tribal? She's very interesting, such a likeable woman. She seems to be in the same page as I about getting XFire out in case both of us get swapped due to how he is really good at challenges- He could be a threat later on if he even makes it to merge, so the best chance to vote him out is before merge.

Day 5
"hakra"

- So far I have made myself known to pretty much everybody in the game. My tribe I am helpful and I connect to most of them. The other tribe, they see me doing challenges and also doing well in them. That is why I think I will be safe for the time being. We'll see as we get closer to merge.

"hakra"

- So heartbreaking to lose. We had that down, but i was more disappointed that Nathan had to carry us and not many were willing to help. So i am gonna vote one of those ppl. I absolutely adore nathan, ant, and matisse. I would love it if we formed an alliance

"hakra"

- Okay wow I am actually shitting my pants not gonna lie. So not only do I sit out of the competition but then We as a tribe fall short by 2 points and I fear that I am on the hot seat. I have been working hard at keep talking to these people but I fear the crucial alliances may have already been formed and that would leave me on the out side. I’m trying to work with Matisse to bring in ant Chieko and maybe Alex to form a majority but this all maybe a little too late. I got off to a really bad start and climbing back on this highly active tribe has been tough.

"lothal"

- We won the immunity!!! Hurray!!! Boy that was unexpected! Nicholas' alliance shaking.

So from what I see Nicholas made this alliance of "active people" when he saw us losing the challenge just to keep himself safe. And now that we have won the challenge it's awkward as fuck in there. I'm okay with being in an alliance that's fo sure, it's better than the alternative but the problem is I don't trust Nicholas AT ALL.

As much as I don't trust him I don't want Nicholas out yet. If we happen to go to tribal I want Jacob out. Vi is an okay compromise but I feel like I can't connect with Jacob so he. Must. Go.

I want to work with Zack most but I don't know how much I can trust him yet. Byron is cool. Mark is cool but silent. Tom is okay. Vi is cool in tribe chat but a wall in PMs. Jacob is not even trying. Nicholas is sketch.

"hakra"

- Okay so I was going to wait until later too make a confessional but things just got very Spicy, so I’ve been talking with both Matisse and Chieko throughout the day and originally Matisse talked to Nathan and was like let’s save Adam let’s use him as a number and take out Chieko, so then Apparently Nathan had brought in Matt to vote out Chieko and this is where it got interesting. Matt tells Chieko that she is a name that is being tossed around as a potential target so immediatley a red flag went off in my head not that I was being bamboozled but that Nathan and Matt seek total control. So I went back to talk to Matisse and we are going to try and launch a very early yet still very ideal and highly risky blindside, Nathan. In order to do this we will need to make sure that Antoine and Alexander vote with the 3 of us and then not only will we be the majority alliance but Nathan who is indeed a power player will be blindsided as all hell!!

"hakra"

- Wow! I really didn't think we would be going to tribal and now everything is going downhill. For some odd reasons, Matisse, Lex and I became sort of swing vote between two sides. The plan to vote out Chieko led by Nathan was leaked out and now we have to scramble to find a way to upgrade our position in the tribe and make sure our butts isn't on the line

"lothal"

- That challenge win was clutch. That's what happens when we work together. Sure, individually Hakra may have better players, but I got the sense that they were competing with each other as well as competing against us. They seem dysfunctional, and I'm hoping that doesn't change any time soon.

We named our alliance Lethal 5, and we're trying to figure out who to vote out if we do visit tribal. It's pretty unanimous that Mark can stay since he was arguably the MVP of our tribe in the challenge, so we have until we visit tribal for the first time to decide between Vi and Jacob. Both of them are becoming more active and if nothing major happens it will basically be a coin flip, so I'm hoping we don't lose in the foreseeable future.

"hakra"

- A moment of paranoia just hit me and I feel like it could be Nathan and Chieko playing us all along with matt as the sidekick. At this point, I feel like being reasonable is my only option and trust that I'm not being lied to. The first vote is always the trickiest cause there's no way to really trust someone until you vote with then at tribal and even then. It would be devastating to go first but maybe i'm just pulling a Gabby and just let my social insecurities go into my head. Let's be confident a bit and hope that I can pull this off.

"hakra"

- We lost sadly, but it really made things heat up. Nathan targeted Chieko who I am aligned with and strangely enough she didn’t like being targeted. Adam, who normally is an obvious first boot for not being very active, ofc jumped on the plan to do Nathan. And then Ant and Matisse put in the final nail. So it looks like a strong 5 ready to take out a big player right out of the gate. Because Nathan has actually been really helpful in challenges and active socially. Not exactly your typical first boot.

"hakra"

- Most of the time, I won't have confidence in my own safety. Sometimes, I will be a bit confident. But this time, it's different. I'm not confident in Chieko staying. I think she's the one going tonight and I didn't vote her. I think I may be in minority for this vote, but in case that does happen, my defense will be that not many people have spoken to me about the vote, and that really is the case. You'd think Nathan or someone who just bonded with me would tell me, hey let's vote Chieko, but nope. I'll do what I have to do for now and hope for the best.
