Welcome to The Survivor Games: Luanda!

This will be your own personal confessional for the remainder of the game. It will be completely private, so feel free to be as candid as you like. You have complete control over what to do with your confessional. You can create as many new threads here as you would like, this thread is yours to do with as you please.

Along with confessionals, this thread will be used for some challenges, as well as voting. Voting will take place in the thread that I have created called "Voting History". Each time you visit Tribal Council you will cast your vote in that thread, thus ensuring that it remains private.

I hope you take advantage of this space and document your time within the game. I love reading confessionals so I look forward to whatever you post in this thread. Good luck!

Week 1: A Little Close For Comfort 

Well, it has been 3 years since my last ORG and I just came very close to being the first boot in my return. The struggle is that everyone seems active right now, so there isn't that obvious choice for a vote. Apparently Parv and I seemed to be the least active so the vote was between us. Thank God I was off today and was able to do some damage control to prove I'm active. Even still I wasn't to comfortable until the vote was actually read. Sucks to suck Parv. 

I'm still working on getting a good read of the tribe. Some of the people are a little tough to talk to. Amber specifically is hard to get talking. She answers very short and to the point and doesn't really reciprocate asking a question. Matty seems really cool, but he is also someone that could do really well in the long run of the game. I would actually really love to align myself with Matty for the fact that he will always be a bigger target than me at merge. I don't want to make the mistake of taking a huge competitor far, but I also don't want to be seen as a huge threat come merge. Matty is the perfect person to take some heat off. Given, I do need to make it far enough to get to that point. For some reason I have a feeling him and Amber are tight, but it is just a hunch. 

Steph and Edgardo both seem really cool. Steph seems to be having as much trouble talking with people as I am. We aren't the most social tribe. Edgardo isn't on often, but talking to him is really easy. His english is a little choppy, but you can still understand him. He would be awesome to align with because he seems a bit naive to ORG life. This could totally be him playing a character, but if it isn't a persona, he would be someone that I would want to trust. 

HOPEFULLY we can win this next challenge so I don't have to worry so damn much. I'm not about those pre merge boots.

Week #3: About Time 

Thank God we got a tribe switch. i could not handle that boring excuse for a tribe any more. The only interesting person was Steph who I thankfully got on my tribe again. 

First, I'd like to clarify my Amber vote. I knew the vote was Ed. I also knew there was an idol floating around and I knew everyone was telling Ed to vote me. I voted Amber so that IF Ed had an idol and voted me I could have another vote out there so I could try and stay. It would have been a revote and I could have tried to sway people to get rid of Amber. I wasn't going out by idol. 

So far I am really liking the new tribe. I'm obviously keeping Steph close, but I also really like Crystal and Ian. I'm just glad these people actually want to talk. What I am hoping is that the two tribes stick together and try and sway Steph and I. We could go along Tyler and Caroline style. It would be beautiful. Of course my first choice is just no tribal but one can only wish. 

Steph and I are officially the Jeter alliance. It all came when she said that she never tells lies. I called her Jesus. I told her I could be Peter and deny that we are working together. That led to Peter and Jesus, which combined makes Jeter. So the lord our savior + his right hand man = the drug abusing Yankees player. #TeamJeter.

Week 4: My Journey Through One Thousand Hells 

Good news: I don't think I'm actually getting votes this week. 

Bad news: This week is a fucking mess. 

So there is a 5 person alliance consisting of the Barra three (Crystal, Ian, Joaq) and Steph and I. Last week we got together and voted out Osten. Chelsea and Varner were on board with that as well, so that was strange, but whatever. This week, the vote should be between Chelsea and Varner then, right? 

I like Chelsea and Varner way more than I like Joaq, but it may be a little early to try and make something happen. So I ask Ian/Crystal who we are telling Varner/Chelsea we are voting for. Both of them reply that they are avoiding the question for now and don't want to pick anyone. 

MEANWHILE: I'm having conversations with Varner/Chelsea who are both telling me that Ian is saying to vote Steph. I start to really realize that the Barra 3 are playing both sides of this game. If they get Steph and I to vote the other two, and Varner and Chelsea to vote Steph and I, the Barra 3 get to make the decision. As of the next tribal council they control half the vote and we have no power. 

Since I am not about to let that happen, I approach Varner/Chelsea about teaming up with Steph and I to take out Joaq. It could be a huge blindside and we can take control of this tribe. These dumb asses seem to think that I/C/J are telling them the truth and are lying to Steph and I! Well great, even if that is true they are obviously playing both sides! Why would you want to align with people like that? 

I think I have finally convinced Chelsea and Varner to vote with us, but I am not sure at all. This could get ugly. If Varner doesn't stop being paranoid he is going to buy all of Ian's shit and vote out Steph, leaving Barra with control of the tribe and nothing we can do until merge. 

I'm saying a little prayer for this vote, because things are about to get ugly.

Week #7: Does Anyone Really Know What's Going On? 

So in all seriousness, who is actually running this game right now? I don't think that person or people really exist, because everything is a mess. Any time I try to talk to anyone the shadiness is so unreal. Every promise anyone makes is just filled with complete bull shit. Our tribe keeps talking about how the six of us are going to stick together, but we all know we are kidding ourselves. Crystal and Joaq are still pissed about the Ian thing, Steph and I are still trying to figure out how Crystal knew about the Joaq vote, Varner still seems very shady to me and Chelsea is a paranoid mess. Sounds like an ideal final 6 to me. 

The other tribes drama does make me feel better, because at least they are worse off than we are. I am shocked that Amber looks to be going tonight, because I was expecting another Barra to go. I have no idea what is going on over there. That pre-game alliance she posted about could be complete garbage, but there could also be some truth to it, so I will need to watch for it. If anything, Matty, John and Sierra are obviously close. 

If anyone has a plan for merge they can pretty much throw it out the window when it comes. Shit is going to hit the fan and I just hope to come out as clean as possible after it's all said and done. I hate playing the under the radar game, but it may be smart to just sit back at merge and let some of the big personalities come at each other. If Steph and I can make it through a few more rounds we may be able to get some power and take things over, but that is still awhile away.
