The Most Comically Bad Gaming I've Ever Seen/Confessionals

Day 28
"ralfiki"

- "Well after a day it’s finally setting in that I spent the last 3 rounds trying to get rid of the same person lmfao. Buuuut now with Joan gone there’s so many potential targets left. While the obvious next boot is possibly Zach (since he was the only one to vote with Joan), i don’t think for my game that going right after zach is a good idea at all.

Rob now wants to put his ‘Vote Aro’ plan into action since Aro seems to be trying to pull a seesaw strategy and go back and forth between the Moyas and Wananis (it’s not exactly a subtle strategy). That being said, as tempting as that move is, i think I have bigger targets in mind - those targets being Rob and Linus.

For someone who seemingly was in minority early on in the merge, Linus has managed to remain shockingly well connected with, well, everyone. He’s the only person this season with a 100% correct voting record, could probs comp beast his way to the end, and would clobber anyone he sat next to in FTC...oh yeah, and he also possibly has the idol - fan-fucking-tastic.

And then we get to Rob. Rob may not be AS formidable as Linus but for the last two rounds he’s managed to play a middle man between both sides yet somehow still hasn’t gotten shit for it - dude is absolutely cunning and while he’s currently ‘with’ Wanani, I’d rather not let him stick around long enough to find out what he’d do to get me out. Now it’s just how do I bring that up to my Wanani brethren. "

- So apparently literally everyone except Zach wanted to vote out Joan lmao, so much for me playing my own game. Time to kick this shit up a new gear. Rob told me that he wanted to split the vote on Zach and Linus. This is ideal, because if I'm part of the group that votes Zach, I can get Linus to play the idol and if me/zach/Linus vote together, we can send someone home ala Cirie in HvV.

Day 29
"ralfiki"

- "Hi okay so um somehow I’ve put myself into a position where people keep saying I’m a kingpin but also not doing anything about it.

This round people are targeting Linus, which is 100% NOT gonna happen. Linus has been my number one since Vivor left and somehow people haven’t caught onto that?? In fact, people are saying they’re afraid of Linus and Rob’s relationship but haven’t included me in the mix at all.

This round I want Aro to leave so I can continue to steer the target away from Linus/Me/Rob, where I’m kinda the middle of there. Hopefully my read on Mihai is right and he will go for Nathan next round once Aro is gone. Then at 6 I flip the script on zach, 5 I take out Linus or Rob, then the other at 4 for a final 3 of me/Gus/Mihai.

It’s easier said than done but we’re taking baby steps here"

- Day 29 and I got immunity, so I am pretty happy about that specially because I tried hours for the challenge. My goal was to win immunity so that Linus doesnt because I think he has an idol and I need him to use it tonight. I also didnt want Grace to win because I still want her out. I dont know what will happen this tc, but I wont tell Rob much of the info I get because I learned from my mistakes and it is better to keep some info to myself because information is power. Ideally, Linus uses his idol and Grace or Nathan go home, but that wont probably happen because people like Aromal are shady af. I think Rob has an idol because today he told me he will make sure he is safe and I was like thinking that the only way that could happen is if he has an idol. I hope he uses his idol too specially because he might get some votes since people suspect him of having the idol. If he has it then he lied to me about the idol, so I guess he is not as close to me as he said.

"ralfiki"

- "Excuse me but i just wanna know what the flying fuck is in the water here. It feels like absolutely no one knows how to keep a damn secret on this tribe. Like last time I checked, the important thing with a blindside is making sure as few people know as possible to make sure that shit can’t leak and fall apart. Tell me why, then, that I wake up to hearing that Gus leaked the Aro blindside to Mihai. Thankfully I don’t think Aro has an idol, nor do I think that Mihai, should he have an idol, is going to play one on Aro. It’s just frustrating trying to plan anything this season, knowing that the plan is likely to leak to everyone and their grandma by the day’s end.

In better news though, I think my relationships with Zach and Linus are finally starting to come in handy and we might just possibly be coming into the same page. Zach is proposing a 4some with myself/him/Grace/Linus going forward and honestly it’s probs the best thing that can happen to me. I have a buffer with Zach/Linus agreeing not to target myself or grace next round (especially since Wanani 3 are gonna be a seemingly clear trio) and there’s the additional benefit of Zach and Linus kinda being decent meatshields pour moi.

First step though: vote Aro, survive, and then it’s game on I suppose. "

"ralfiki"

- "hi last round i was 2 trusting and joan died and now its linus and i v everyone butr ppl are targeting aro and nathan and grace wanna work with us and augus is leaking the plan to aromal so idk whos whjere idk i wanna jkust make it thru im tired of aromal running the show i want my own game and i wanna get to the end and he snaked me lets kill aromal lets kill aromal 4-3-1 just leave rob out of it yknow idk i just wanna get thru it fuck this is short but uh im with friends i just wanted to give yall SOMETHIN

im still mad joans gone cause it was terrible timing but im gonna beat it yeeee yeeeee"

"ralfiki"

- "This is probs the most brazenly I’ve ever lied to someone in an org lmfaooo. So mihai and Aro are REALLY trying to push a Linus/Zach split so me, not wanting to spoil a blindside and not wanting to risk yet another idol - I’m basically telling mihai everything he wants to hear, like yes I’m totally gonna cut Linus for you, oh you want grace on board? I’ll take care of that.

Time now, literally no one but mihai and Aro are actually down for that plan. I probably should feel bad for lying so openly like that. It’s just like if they actually think this is happening it’s kinda hilarious to see it working."

"ralfiki"

- "OH MY FUCKING GODDDDD LMAO. So in the last couple hours, Aro and Mihai have:

Formed a split vote plan against Zach/Linus Thrown gus under the bus Thrown out my name, as well as graces and Rob’s

Like I don’t know if these dudes realise that no one is buying their BS but fuck even if I get voted out tonight by some ungodly cosmic power this has been some of the most comically bad gaming I’ve ever seen in a game of survivor. Like whew Chile, the mess. "

"ralfiki"

- i think Rob wants to play an idol for Grace and I am about to have my game ruined if he does that and my heart broken.

"ralfiki"

- So apparently people are targeting me now because I'm telling different plans to different people, so I'm fucked. If Linus or Zach leaked my HvV Cirie plan, I'm double fucked. After Joan was voted out, Augusto came to me and told me he felt he his only chance of winning was to go to the end with me and Mihai, so I think if I can grab those two plus zach/linus and vote one of the wananis, it could save me. I am getting really weird vibes from the latter two though, I've never seen them this silent so close to the deadline.

"ralfiki"

- "Wow I have some catching up to do! So last vote, we eliminated Joan as a result of both Aro and Mihai proposing the same idea to me- to flip the vote on the Moya group, join the Wanani group, and send a strong competitor home. As we saw, Linus decided to vote with us too which was shocking. It showed that he had a strong connection to one member of that group, Grace, and it could have exposed the three person alliance that we have formed- The Nucleus. My strategy for this vote was to target Aro next. I wanted him out of this game because we are playing similarly in the way that he wanted to play the middle of the two dominant alliances. Additionally, after Touchy Subjects, it was clear that Aro felt that he needed to step his game up to no long be perceived as a goat, so he wanted to make a lot of moves. This was clear when Mihai won immunity and the two next targets were Grace and Linus. I did not want to do this plan because of the information that the two were giving me, their closer relationship to me than other people, and the ability to use them as perceived shields in this game. Grace and Linus will always have a biggest target than me, but I do believe we have played comparable games at the minimum. I knew I needed to get Zach back on my side, but that was fairly easy because he thought that he was on the bottom of the totem pole and next to go. I assured him that everything I said to him was the truth and I genuinely did want to work with him this vote to eliminate Aromal. The way that The Nucleus was operating was that: Linus- Zach (Joan) Rob- Mihai, Aromal Grace- Augusto, Nathan So I knew that either Aromal or Mihai had to go from my group or either Augusto or Nathan from Grace's Wanani group. That is why at this time I was pushing for Aromal and instigating that Nathan needed to go next. I had a closer personal and game relationship with Mihai and Augusto over Aromal and Nathan. Aromal and Mihai were targeting Grace and Linus as I said, so I let them believe that. Some crucial things that I was doing this round were strengthening my personal connection with Mihai because I knew he would feel betrayed, letting Grace believe that she had a strong control over Augusto, and having Zach believe that even though he did not have many allies in this game, I was one of them. So this vote goes completely according to plan and Aromal is eliminated in a 6-2 vote. I needed him to go to eliminate the perceived group we were a part of, have Mihai trust me more, and let Grace and the Wanani group think that she was in the driver's seat on this vote. "
