Congrats on making the merge! |
Thank you! This is quite a fun and exciting place to have made it to and I'm excited and scared to see where it will go! Congrats on you hosts making it to merge too! Work work work it!
This is me writing this confessional:
|
| 1. Who is your closest ally? Do you plan to go to the end with them? |
Ho god this is a hard question. I am in a bit of a weird spot where I have quite a few people who I feel as though they could be my closest ally. I've clicked with a lot of people this game and consequently I now have a number of very good friends who I've really bonded with.
Hope and Neal are the top two contenders for who my closest ally is. I trust these two and I want to work with them. I think Hope is a bit more of a go-getter in this game and has a bit more of her own agenda. At the same time, I've been very open with her and she's been very open with me about who we are comfortable with. We might not have exactly the same plans or wants in the game in terms of who goes round by round, but I'm okay with that. I think she's a strong competitor and someone who could be a potential shield for me down the line. I hate to think of friends as shields, but when I have a lot of friends, I know that I'll be losing them some time, probably. I will probably go into more detail later!
Neal, he seems open and honest and our positions in the game seem to had lead us to have the same set of friends and people that we trust. I would possibly want to go to the end with Neal, but at the same time he's a really nice and funny guy. I have to weigh it out as time goes on, but I have lots of time for that. He has an idol and I think I might be the only other person to know, but he may have told someone else and not told me. I feel like he wouldn't keep that kind of thing from me though. I've tried to make it very clear that I trust him and am with him all the way. He is my Gordo :)
As for going to the end with these two, that would be a hell of an FTC. Plus, I do want to weigh friendship into it all. That matters to me in this game. Is hurting a friend worth it for a better shot to win an online survivor game? We'll see, I guess.

| 2. Who would you say is the biggest overall threat remaining? Strategic? Social? Physical? |
Oof that's a tough one. I'm sure most have said this is a tough one too. Strategically, I think we have a lot of strong players in this merge. I'll cover just a few of the people that I think are big strategic and social players:
Hope - She is an obvious tour de force. She wants her way sometimes and it can bleed into the conversation. She isn't afraid to put her foot down a bit and tell it like she sees it. She wants to keep her friends and build a strong set of people that won't target here in the coming rounds, but she seems amiable to giving her allies some leeway in their own games. I think she can make a lot of things work for her because she doesn't burn bridges and she has the potential to have a lot of good allies. I think her and I can be a bit similar in that style this game and I'm glad that we are working together instead of against each other!
Woo - I don't think he has Hope's social game, but I think he has a good eye for strategy. We've talked about how we want to form the merge and what will be best to keep the heat off of us for a while, suggesting stuff I hadn't really thought of and I was impressed. He has a good social game, but the caliber that this game presents, I'm not sure he can fully back up his strategic with his social.
Hunter - This dude is a bit of a sleeper. I don't hear his name come up often, but when I do it's in a positive light. He could be an incredibly sneaky dude that could bite any one of us in the ass. I like talking to him, but I would be a bit scared seeing him get far based on the threat he may present in the future. For now, he seems docile and nonthreatening, but I think that's what makes him dangerous for later.
Jeremiah - Much like Hunter, the dude is connected but his name doesn't get tossed around a whole lot. He got his way above Lil and he seemed to think he may have been next on that tribe, which may show Rita as a threat, as well. Jeremiah is someone I want to work with, but I want to be careful that he doesn't see me as someone he can't win against in the end so when his game really comes out, I don't get the raw end of the deal.
Rita - She is such...an odd case, I think. Again, much like hunter and Jeremiah, skulking her way through the game. She clearly has friends, but I'm unsure of her allegiances. Where does she fully stand? I know she's good at this game and she's go the social part of it down, but what the hell is her plan? I know she's got one and I'm curious as hell.
As for challenge strength, I think it could be a crapshoot. There is such a broad set of challenge strengths for the people in this game and I think we won't really be seeing any immunity runs. I feel like I have some good challenge strength, Hope as well. Woo and Jeremiah are decent strategists in challenges, and I've noticed Jenna really having a good drive as well. The rest I'm going to have to see as time goes on. I can see Hunter being strong there too!

| 3. Who would leave first from the merge tribe if you had it your way? |
Oh boy, I have no idea yet again!! I think that the top contenders for me would be Rachel, Jaison, and Nick. I find it harder to connect with them. Jaison is actually not the hardest to connect to but I also feel like he's a bit close to the chest. He has connections on the tribe, but I think people are willing to drop him and he'd be a strongish person that could go out early and not many would care too much (except Nick and maaaaybe Jenna and Hope, except Hope seems to be cool with dropping him sometime). (also hope says hi, but who even reads this anyways).
As for Rachel, I just don't care for Rachel. There's not really strategy in it! She seems artificial when I talk to her, like everything she is saying to me is some kind of pander instead of an attempt at being real. It's not something I click with well and not something I care to go a
Lóng with for a game!
Nick is just boring and Jaison's little bitch (:

| 4. What's your strategy from here on out? Will it differ from how you've played so far? |
My strategy is going to continue for a little bit. I just want to keep having friends in the game, try to keep things as calm as they can be, especially anything revolving around me. It's a 14 player merge and there is a fuck tonne of time to go. I'm waiting for others to make the plays now and I'm going to just steer it off of the people I like. Other than that, I'm just trying to slowly build the team that I want to go down with.
The people I'm comfortable with most in the game are Ken, Woo, Hope, Neal, and Jeremiah, and then to a certain extent Jenna. That's a good number of people, and if I can keep all of them happy, well that'll be more than a majority that won't vote me.
If I could get down to a final 5 of the first 4 names there, I think the best strategic decision will turn to being kill Hope, then Neal, and have a final 3 of Woo, me, and Kenny. In the case of a final 3, then I think my social game will trump out Woo and Kenny and Kenny will probably be drawing completely dead, meaning I only really have to worry about Woo. This is all very gamebotty though and something I should come no where to figuring out yet, it's just some random thoughts I'm having now.
My plans right now are very simply: Calm, Cool, Collective. The 3 C's of Joega. Make friends, minimize enemies, and werk it gurl.

| 5. Which cast members do you think deserve to make All Stars? Why? |
Aha, wow. I hope I do!! Like, I know this is a bit conceited of my but that's something I've really wanted in this game. I have no real idea on how to do that, I've never actually gotten all stars in a game, but I would loooove it. I've been working my butt off in this game and I really hope that's coming across! And I hope I'm in some weird way compelling!
I think Hope is going to be someone deserving of all stars, same with Neal. They are both big personalities that have the game to back it up. I don't see either of them not making it super far into All Stars territory. Others would probably be Hunter, maybe Natalie. It's a bit early to tell who is going to come out swinging and be a real character here since I think we all have the potential to be big characters in the game. I think Joe and Ozzy were the most likely candidates for all stars that went out pre-merge since both had some...crazy storylines, I think! #Joe4Heroes!!

| 6. If you had to give yourself a title based on your gameplay until this point, what would it be? |
Aha, wow. Uhm. I have no idea. I try to gauge other's perception of me throughout the game and I think it's slowly moved from timid, innocent girl into more of a drunkard, emotional person. Really, I tell them I drink a lot because I Uber Drive at night and lots of people in the community know that :P
I'm drawing a blank on this D: I feel like people know I'm a bit more of a social person in the game, so something going a
Lóng those lines mixed with my personality... I like "Organized Mess" a lot! I think it's appropriate :)
I hope you enjoyed this 2000 word confessional :)
