A Certificate in Graphic Design/Confessionals

Day 1
"jinan"

- Ok so I made sure I was 100% here for the exact moment we were allowed to talk to each other because it's gonna be HELLA easy to just make me an easy vote if we lose because I'm in a different time zone because ITS HAPPENED BEFORE so now they have no excuse. Blake is super nice and me and him bonded so I think we're pretty tight for now. Jose and I have got a pretty chill vibe right now too. I've also talked to Devon and Felipe but not all that much but I think I'm cool for right now. WE'LL SEE THOUGH. I'm not gonna play strategically till I have to bc honestly I'm bad at it social game is where it's AT.

"wonsan"

- Sam added me to an alliance with Juliet, Dan, and Max. Sam asked me to be an alliance with her and Juliet. I find it a little suspicious that I was added to such a large alliance early on in the game and this is something I definitely wanted to avoid-- but we'll see how it goes. I like Juliet and Sam, but I feel like they could be snake-y. We'll see!

"jinan"

- The tribe so far seems to be the best tribe I've been on, ever really! Everyone is super nice and I really don't want to lose the upcoming challenge. I'm so happy to have Blake on my tribe because he is the best and Louise is super fun to talk to! Devon, Felipe, and Jose are all super nice as well! I've had a short conversation with Hannah and I'm still waiting for Ally to reply to my message, but everything seems to really nice!

"jinan"

- I am sitting there relaxing, when all of the sudden Devon messages with a "Hey, it's nice to see you again :)", and I am like "um excuse me" and then he tells me that the season started and I was like "Oh fuck".

"jinan"

- We are getting to know each other, Devon and I are winking at each other because we created an alliance since we come from Mauritius but let it be known, that he wrote down my name 3 FUCKING times so I am totally keeping eye on him.

Anyways, we are all having a great time and all of the sudden this girl quits the game 3 minutes in and everyone was left shook, so now we are waiting on her replacement.

"jinan"

- So the replacement is Ally, I am excited to play with her because her last name is Reyes so she must be Latina, and I am latino. So "Hola comadre", Jose is also latino I think so we might have a latino alliance <3. As for my other tribemates:

- Louise, she's fun <3

- Devon, he's the same

- Hannah, Eh

- Miles, he is a sweet kid, with a poor social game but I still think he is a very sweet boy.

- Blake, he's a cool kid.

Day 2
"jinan"

- So at this point I'm super tight with Blake and Miles like supppper tight we talked pretty much all of today. Me and Jose are still going strong and I managed to talk to both Ally and Hannah today to so I think we're ok there. I haven't talked to Felipe that much outside of the tribe chat I don't think he finds me interesting or anything which is worring. I feel like Devon might be getting sick of me as well which is SCARY but whatever I'll try and sort that out. I'm excited for this challenge! I'm terrible at both flash games and puzzles so I'm getting to design a Korean Hanbok instead which is spooky because I don't wanna fuck up and insult an entire culture so WOOPS we'll see how it goes lol.

"wonsan"

- First confessional <3

Not too much to talk about but.... idk, this is probably one of the more active tribes, except for Bronson (who I voted out in another org oops o.o)

Tribe dynmatics it seems like there are A LOT of extroverted people, at least coming from someone who was on tribes with relatively quieter people. Zach and Jake seem to be the loudest and seem to get along with eachother and are like memers. Cammy is nice but I do believe her and Jake know eachother. I actually know Max and Blake however I don't really have much of a connection with Max so he's really just a newbie to me and in regards to Blake i haven't played a gameshow with him yet so if he doesn't fit into my plans then as mean as it seems I think i'll have to cut him.

Alliance wise there was already one that Juliet made that consists of Her, Sam, Cammy, Max and myself. I don't actually trust this alliance all that much because Cammy knows Jake so if we were to lose challenges and we targeted him I think she would play double agent, granted this is purely speculation.

In all honesty out of everyone here, Sam is my absolute fav and it seems like she is very observant but loyal and I definitely want to form a effective final 2 with someone like that so i'm probably gonna propose the idea of linking up

That's pretty much a rough copy of how i'm feeling. Definitely looking forward to the lake twist and perhaps even more surprises :3

"jinan"

- Honestly I have to say that I'm really in a good position right now. Firstly, Devon who I deem my closest ally right now is really, really adamant in having me as a close ally, and I think that's for the best. In addition to this, he proposed a four majority alliance along with Miles and Ally, but what bugs me a lot is that he told me first and he kinda insinuated that they already knew about it. So it was just awkward overall telling them about it since they weren't aware of it; however, regardless they were cool with it. Kinda feels like he'll throw himself out there too much to the point where he's going to destroy his own game, hopefully that doesn't happen since I really want to see him for quite a while in this game. Ally seems pretty chill too since we already know each other although I've had a tendency to destroy her game in past games, but I swear this won't happen here!!! She seems like she really wants to work with me as long as I don't wrong her, which of course she doesn't want me to backstab her, but just the idea of her wanting to have me as an ally shows me that we're going to go far. I think one of the things that kinda worries me is that we'll head to the first tribal because I still need to strengthen my relationship with Blake since we've talked but at the same time I know I can improve it. By far I have to say Louise is someone that I really want to work with. She seems to have this very understanding nature around her, and I feel like if we were to become much closer allies, I'll be able to have her work with me in future plans. For now it's the first day and playing hard is the worst thing to do, so for now I'll just remain active and continue my strengthening my relationships.

"jinan"

- This challenge is super hard, I hate it, this puzzle is the worst, the other tribe is scoring 5 minutes and I am like "How?", honestly fuck them, bunch of puzzle making building ass freaks.

"wonsan"

- I hate Juliet. I honestly think she's one of those fake people who sign up as a girl but also why are you allowing 14 year olds to play these games? YIKES! Anyways she says "Im great at puzzles" and then gets 15 minutes so is like "i'll do the art" and then she begs everyone in the tribe chat to tell her EXACTLY what to do. If you can't do it, don't volunteer. I hate her and I want her out first cause we're gonna lose because of her awful art. I literally have a certificate in graphic design, I could make something nicer in my sleep but I didn't wanna over step. Also she refused to talk and just immediately made an alliance and told me to make the chat and that rubbed me the wrong way. OH OH!! TEA TIME BITCHES! Cammy says her age on day 1, then Jake says he's a week younger than her which was really sus. Then Jake told me he plays epic mafia and I've heard Cammy does too... so... yeah... I think I'm gonna troll this season because I really don't like anyone except for Daniel

"wonsan"

- I'd like to say I get along with this tribe, except that's the exact opposite of what I'm feeling. I'm no social butterfly but geez, trying to talk to some of these people is like trying to get blood out of a stone. Also, I prefer people to message me first (idk why it's just something I do) and half the fucking tribe hadn't even talked to me until yesterday when I had to start the conversation instead smh it's probably just me and my shit social plays because this tribe can't possibly be as quiet to me as it is to everyone else???

Day 3
"wonsan"

- Well thank fuck we won, I don't like this tribe too much so they've got a few more days to change my mind xD

"wonsan"

- Okay so my thoughts on everybody on the tribe....

I genuinely like Cam and Sam. I get along with them quite well and conversing with them feels natural and not forced which is a good thing. Sam is also my first (and main) ally at this point because you need to trust at least one person in this game, and she's given me the best vibes thus far.

Zach is also a nice guy, we haven't really talked too much but from the chats I have had with him he's not too bad.

I actually feel bad for Daniel, I can clearly see he's trying to be nice and get to know me, but god it just feels so forced and I really don't like that... Jake seems like a social butterfly in the tribe chat but geez not only does he make no attempt to talk to me in the first 2 days, when I reach out to him he seems totally uninterested in talking to me like wtf lmao is it cause I haven't taken interest in your dog like everyone else?? I'm a cat person xD

Juliet is a question mark for me; first of all she is a Taylor Swift fangirl and I hate that bitch LMAO but we exchanged what, like 10 messages and she suddenly wants to make an alliance with me? I'm 110% sure she's done the same with most, if not all of the tribe (idk about you Juliet but I prefer to get to know people before I approach them about being in an alliance), so initially, she comes across as shady and I'll be keeping an eye on her. Anyone who is a fan of Swiftie has to be a snake in some shape or form...

And Max, oh dear... He's a nice kid (and his parents are kiwis iirc which is a plus) but djkghdjsk it's like I'm talking to a brick wall

But I like this tribe a lot better than I did yesterday. It's like on one end of the spectrum there are people who I like and get along with, and on the complete opposite end of the spectrum there are people who could be substituted for a pile of bricks because that's how stimulating our conversations have been LOL

"wonsan"

- Hey guys! So ive been seriously slacking on confessionals this season so I suppose I should kinda compile the first 3 days into one thing, starting NOWSTVE

So we hit the beach on day 1 aaaannndddd

I know nobody on my tribe but I know 3 people on the other tribe! Yay! Now I have to actually have a social game. Gross, right? I mean i'm honesty cool with it, I feel like if you're a newbie you shouldn't know EVERYONE, right?

But yeah so I come in with a really over the top entrance. I do this kind of stuff on purpose because first impressions are so. important. And I want my first impression to be lighthearted and a bit goofy so that people are more comfortable with just straight talking to me. It could also eventually help and make people underestimate me which I really want to happen here - Everyone loves an "underdog", especially when they aren't actually an underdog and only ACT like an underdog, ya dig?

So I start chattin' with the tribe, and I get a few PMs as well as me sending a few. SO this is the part where I start analyzing my tribe and who i'd like to work with.

Max - Max is the first guy to send me a friend request and he was the first to have a chat with me - in other words, He got to work on the social QUICK. I would be shocked if this dude isn't in the core of the tribe right now, or if he ends up on the wrong side of the vote once alliances do form (unless theres already a majority without me, in which case yo YIKES lmao). I'd love to work with Max.

Dan - Dan is.... something. He's really proactive with conversation which I like, but our communication is kinda weird. Like, we don't actually have conversations. He just says shit then sends a gif and changes the subject. It's really odd. Still, hes a connection I think I might have eventually.

Jake - I love this guy. He was hilarious night one with CAH, hes got the most ADORABLE PUPPY which that alone is enough for me tbh, hes chill, lighthearted, funny, and probably seriously smart. I want to go far with this guy - cause I get along with him AND because he gives me a vibe that he won't play stupid.

Bronson - Bronson, I don't like this guy. He's the closest thing we have to an inactive, he only just had his first conversation with me yesterday, and other than that he only shows up at challenge time - like literally once a day. Plus he made fun of my college major in our very first convo which basic communication tells you that that is a bad idea. Even if he was likeabe and active, I don't want someone who cant talk to people on my side. I deffo want him gone first if we go to tribal.

Juliet - Juliet is a fucking mess but theres something strangely endearing about her. Like, her age deffo shows, esp in that challenge how she just like, wanted us to tell her exactly what to do (s/o to Camy for carrying that by the by). Plus, our pm history is hilarious and screams overeager. Just read:

Zach

h e n l o !

Juliet Rose

what's up!!

how are you

Zach

i am

a-ok

you?

Juliet Rose

yep!!

just finished the puzzle

Zach

Coo coo nice

How'd ya do?

Juliet Rose

i did ok!

Zach

"! !

Juliet Rose

so alliance

Zach

so yeet

Zach

im downstve

Juliet Rose

wig

This was our first convo in the game. Like, she wants to play but doesnt know how I love it its so much like my first ORG. I mean, she or Dan will probs go second, but i digress I dig the energy.

Sam - Sam is really laid back, really easy to chat with. I've heard things about her being a big deal tho, which kinda freaks me out as to who she might know pregame but I think shes the type to let game relationships carry her before non-game relationships. We were chatting about 90s nostalgia last night and i get a good vibe.

Camz - Camy is actually pretty hard to read. I think people knew her pregame based on people like, calling her Camy despite being Camz on fb and just the general reaction when shes around, but she mentioned in pms last night that she felt good with me and i do feel good with her, so i would ideally like to work with her if possible, but shes the one to keep an eye on.

So in an ideal situation, I get a core group of myself, Max, Camy, Sam, and Jake to run this tribe. Possible? Deffo. Likely? Honestly, probably. I feel like us and Dan are the most active, and I think the 5 of us gel the best with each other. Im gonna ask around today for some alliances and see who other people feel good about and id love to set this group into motion cause nobody likes being premerge

I mean, ive only been premerge like two times and one of em was in a 30 person all stars game where i died cause i wasnt in the villains pregame alliance and then they told me they regretted killing me. And the other was my first org so like

Getting premerge is kinda hard BUT IM NOT GONNA GET TOO COCKY. That just wouldnt be smarticle particle.

Anyway i think thats all there is to say for now, Ill try to make at least one daily from now on and ill probably do an update tonight or early tomorrow morning. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT
