I Gotta Tread Carefully/Confessionals

Day 1

“	-bangs head against rock- Ugh this already sucks xDI haven't really spoken to anyone on my tribe before except for Ivan, so this is a bummer. Maybe I can try and pull in someone else. But an alliance w/ Ivan seems smartest right now.The other bad things are: Andrei is here. Great. He'll try and drag me down with his Malakal crap, and get me booted if we end up on a swap tribe in the future. Biggest threat in my game. Then finally there's the live challenge, served to me on a silver platter. I haven't done a live challenge except 99 bottles of beer since Rome. I even didn't include them in the past two seasons of my ORG. Absolutely HATE them. But hey, it's one challenge. Let's just hope I don't end up flopping, and that I can get out of my "first merge boot/ boot right before merge" slump	”
–Koror

“	I've never been in tribes these small before so this season has already begun to scare me straight ... lol as if that would ever happen (vaginas are gross). And the fact the I don't have any previous relationships with these people doesn't help at all. It feels like I'm starting my ORG career from scratch, but that should make for a fun and exciting season. Cobo seems strong, so hopefully we can pull out some challenge wins until a swap comes	”
–Blaine

“	I can't resist the calling of an ORG, especially it is The 703 ORG. So I am back!!! Its day one and I learned that we are only five in the tribe. This is a first for me, and I am not comfortable with it tbh. This five person starting tribe is making me so nervous! So I have only bonded with one person (this new person and I even forgot his name omg). I am not comfortable. Koror is the only one I know and I voted him out in Rome! But he messaged me that we should work together and ofc I said yes. Casey of Indo and the other guy I havent talked to. The challenge is Live and is starting in an hour. And here Iam drinking. I hope I am not yet drunk by then. I dont want to be the season's drunk again (Minke might do a drunk roast again) Overall Im playing a bit slow paced... but I am excited! *wishful thinking not to be the first boot*	”
–Ivan

“	Just finished my profile bio and I think It looks pretty fetch	”
–Blaine

“	I just got my first fan!! I feel so accomplished right now tbh I'm ready to slay some bitches now	”
–Blaine

“	Alrighty, so it's Day One, I've barely interacted with my tribe, but I'm already a bit scared since I'm basically brand-new to the community and have no clue who any of these people are. Since I'm the new guy, they could just lie to my face about who they are and/or about who the others are, so I gotta tread carefully in this tribe for a bit. Hopefully I don't end up being first boot cause of how new I am.	”
–Nifty

Day 2

“	So yeah. Here we are. I haven't played in an ORG in quite a long time so this is all kind of weird to be doing this again. So far my tribe seems to be okay. We have Trace who is a huge threat but at the same time is probably one of the few people who I have had any real connection with before the game. So for now I'm definitely looking to work with him. Grace is someone who I know played in Rome and people liked her a lot both in and out of the game. So again she's going to be dangerous later on. I like her though so I would like to work with her as well. Vince is in an ORG that I'm helping host. I know that he's quiet and pretty loyal if you get to know him (at least I think so based on my impression of him). I'd like to keep him around because I feel like I could work with him late into the game. Nicholas... well so far he's been MIA. He accepted my friend request but he hasn't tried to contact me. So either he's not that active or he's just not talking to me. Either way I don't see much reason for me to want to keep him around at this point.	”
–Will

“	I think I'm gone first if we lose, and I hate that feeling. I know I'm not going down without a fight.	”
–Tom

“	I'm surprised to be here. I got welcomed into my tribe. I really hope I can do good in this game.	”
–Blake

“	Well, looks like I'm going to be on the tribe that fails at everything. Atm every other team is 30+ names ahead of us, and it's great how I'm the only member of my team available to play. They're either on the other side of the world, or they're at work. I was able to align with Tom and Ivan, so hopefully we'll be alright if it's us at tribal council	”
–Koror

“	This is a great challenge for me. I know my Survivor History	”
–Jordan

“	Oh. My. God.I'M HERE!I am so excited to be in this game y'all don't even know. I have been waiting for a chance to prove myself and I've got a good feeling about this place. Isla del Sol, Island of the Sun. We're on a beautiful lake, with beautiful people (looking at you, Trace), and beautiful weather to kick some ass in this game.That is, if I can get out of this tribe of five situation in one piece. Cobo is giving me weird vibes. Blaine and I have hit it off really well and I've made small talk with Melca but I'm really worried because Blake and Lucky haven't talked to me yet. I know they've been online, so that worries me. It worries me a lot. Hopefully we can shake things up down the road and avoid Tribal Council.	”
–Zane

“	So its Day 2, we are still working through our first immunity challenge to keep us safe, and we have this MASSIVE lead over the other players right now! We managed to get Jake to pitch in on a few, and Andrei came on for a bit to help out, but Jordan and I have been the main ones leading this charge into our big lead in this challenge. We got 3 seasons of boot order down while the other tribes are currently struggling with the first season. I noticed, however, during this challenge, that I've kind of taken up to be the leader. I mean, I don't see myself as leader of the tribe, but I was calling out who was to go when, what Andrei and/or Jake should post next, etc. I just took leadership all of a sudden. I don't know if this will turn out to be a permananet thing, a bad thing, or a good thing. But its definitely a thing I have to be aware of.	”
–Nifty

“	So yeah, I’m playing a season again…. We’re currently in a posting challenge… I’m the only one online… That’s. So. Cute… In reality I’m like crying at the fact that we are in DEAD LAST right now. Like I even have a google doc with all the names on it, I CAME PREPARED FOR THIS. People just need to show up and post a name. Yet we have the person who hasn’t shown up at all, the person who’s from the Philippines and asleep, the person we haven’t seen since last night, and Trace, who’s in school. So our only hope is when Trace gets out of school, and whenever Will comes back from wherever he is. So far, I really like Trace, like we both looked at each other and were like “TUMBLR”. I had never met the famous Trace before until now. Apparently he’s like some rich white kid that has 4 houses according to my friend Dane, and I absolutely adore him. I really like Will too, except the fact that he’s apparently sneaky. Like I was talking to my bae Justin, and I was like “do you know anyone on my tribe” and he’s like “THAT’S CHEATING” like okay obviously there’s something he didn’t want me to know about someone on this tribe, and I think it had to do with Will. Trace said he’s really smart and sneaky, but on a tribe with a no-show and someone with the personality of cardboard, you take what you can get, and Will is really nice, and apparently already asked Trace for an alliance, which is good if we want to have a majority since we’re losing this posting thing thus far. Vince is honestly one of the most boring people I’ve ever met like Me: Hey!!Vince: Hi smile emoticonMe: How are you??Vince: Doing great. You?Me: Really didn't want to get up this morning hahaVince: Haha why?Me: Because I stayed up until like 1am for this game and had to get up early for once lolVince: Haha where are you from?Me: Louisiana lolVince: I am from the Philippines smile emoticonMe: Aww that's coolVince: Yep and I need to sleep now. I have my 7am class tomorrow frown emoticonMe: Yeah get some sleepVince: thanks smile emoticon nice meeting youMe: Nice meeting you too smile emoticonChat Conversation End … okay But like I said, I take what I can get, and by the looks of it, Nicholas is going to be on the outs due to not showing up yet, and because the challenge is of this nature, he kind of needs to be here. I really want to take a nap so I’m just praying some people show up and use my google doc and continue so we don’t have to go to tribal first.	”
–Grace

“	Minke is being shady. Probably throwing the challenge here just to vote someone off--I'm thinking its either Jordan or I. There literally isn't much I can do other than hope that Andrei or Jake aren't with the alliance and have them post, cause I don't wanna be 20th place. Literally the worse thing that could happen to me.	”
–Nifty

“	So... Nicholas is being weird. So he sits and does nothing while Trace, Grace and myself work our asses off to catch up in this challenge. Then apparently he's talking in another chat that Grace is also in. So he's basically just choosing not to do anything. Then Grace asks him to come help and he shows up in the chat and just acts like a prick. Then he leaves again and we still have to do this challenge. So then Trace has to go and now our fates are in the hands of this guy who doesn't appear to have any idea of how close he is to leaving this game on Day 3.	”
–Will

“	As for my strategy at this point. I'm planning on laying low for now. Make some friends, participate in challenges, etc. Basically do everything I can to be an asset. I've formed an alliance with Trace and I'm working on forming one with Grace. I'm hoping that maybe we can all work together for at least awhile. They could already be working together though for all I know. I also have a cross tribal alliance with Blaine on Cobo. He's probably the person who I'm closest to outside of the game and I'm not going to miss the chance to get an in with another tribe. So hopefully everything I'm doing isn't for naught and I'm not being played for a fool.	”
–Will

“	**Okay so the name of the only person I talked to very much today is Adrian.**	”
–Ivan

“	Dont call it a comeback *Shmoney dances*	”
–Tom

“	I really love this challenge. It's actually challenging, it requires teamwork, and it's Survivor-related. So far I think we've been pretty good at teamwork. Working around schedules is always tough but everyone's been putting their best foot forward, I think.Blaine and I have been available quite a lot, Lucky has contributed quite a bit, Blake has been busy but has helped out, and even Melca stayed up as late as possible to help out, and she should be back soonwhen we should be nearing the home stretch. I think we have a good chance at avoiding Tribal tonight, which will help me sleep a LOT easier.	”
–Zane

“	I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but I took that leadership role. And if it bites me in the ass it does. But I'm going to take this tribe as far as I can take it.	”
–Tom

“	Really Blaine, why the hell do you keep messing up? There is only Melca on the tribe, what about her?	”
–Blake

Day 3

“	YASS COBO SLAYY! I'm honestly so proud of my tribe right now! Live challenge have always been my krytonite, but we managed to actually come in first! Wooooo! It's only been like two days, but I feel very connected to my tribe.. well at least to some of them. Zane and I quickly bonded and I had a nice, long conversation with Melca. It was kinda awks with Lucky because we're currently playing in another game together and we just happen to be in opposite alliances in the same tribe lol. Hopefully we smoothed everything out. Blake is the only person I haven't really talked to yet though, but I've know him for a while. I'm just hoping that we can continue to dominate these challenges until a swap comes Emoticon heart	”
–Blaine

“	I literally can't stand watching us lose because we can't manage to get 3 people online at the same time. That's so sad omg	”
–Grace

“	Note to self: Stay calm if we ever get into a situation like this in the future. Cause dang, I was just too paranoid back there. I think I'm causing some bad impressions, so next challenge I just gotta keep my cool and if we lose calmly figure out how to deal with it. I still don't know if I can trust everyone here but I do know that I need to relax in the future if I'm going to stay in this game. At least I'm safe now...	”
–Nifty

“	We won immunity yay but barely because almost no one was active. We had a massive lead and blow it.	”
–Jordan

“	Well, we lost the first challenge. It sucks because we were actually pretty close to 3rd place. Well now we have to vote out someone and I think the obvious choice is Nicholas. He's the only one who didn't contribute at all to the challenge and he hasn't made any attempt to contact me. At this point I have no reason to contact him so either he has formed an alliance and I'm not in it or he's just not focused on the game at all. At this point I think Vince and Grace are of the same opinion, but I need to check with Trace first before committing to voting out Nicholas.p.s. Tyler is my favorite host	”
–Will

“	That challenge was an ass-kicker to be sure. I'm really proud of our coordination as a team and the fact that we were the only ones to actually finish the challenge.Our win today also gives me more time to strategize and get comfortable with the people on my tribe. Blaine and I seem really tight, so any majority alliance I build will use that relationship as its foundation. I like Lucky, but I don't know how much I can trust him. He seems a bit high-strung. Then there's Blake, who's nice but socially awkward, which is something I can totally deal with. Melca is around the world so I've had the least interaction with her. It's something that's mostly out of her control but she needs to make a bit more of an effort or she'll be the first person gone in a game that's mostly about how well you connect with others.	”
–Zane

“	I've been chatting with Andrei lately and he's been giving me advice on how I should socially behave, or at least a few tips, around the tribe. I think he wants me to stick around and likes me, but I don't really like the fact that he's telling me how to play the social game. Like, dude, it's my gameplay. I'll play it how I want to. Like, I appreciate the thought, and I'm glad I can trust you a bit now, but I don't really like the fact that you're doing it.	”
–Nifty

“	Just had an excellent idea to go into this ORG's and the Main ORG's past seasons and read those confessionals to kinda get an idea of how I could deal with future situations. Dunno if this'll help or hurt me, but it's a good way to past time all the same.	”
–Nifty

“	Wow what a game. Im exhausted. On the other hand I think Alex, Ivan and I are the solid trio. But we wont face an elimination so we're fine	”
–Tom

“	so we won the challenge! Adrian, Thomas and me did most of the work we came from behind and ended up in 2nd. I should probably try to make an alliance. I know Adrian from tumblr but he's pissing me off. We just started a bb game on tumblr and he nominated me? Why would he try to get on my bad side when we are playing another game? I'd vote him out he's a flip floopa. I wouldn't be surprised if he went after me, I'm literally getting targeted in every game I'm in for no reason this week, at least we're safe but I will have my revenge on Adrian, you just wait. *gets voted out*	”
