THE POWER OF THE BLOOD!/Confessionals

Day 12
"uspekh"

- So, it's obvious that the original Uspekh is the target over on the new Uspekh just based on how people are acting. They didn't want to send anyone from old Uspekh over, and when talking to people they questioned if I was on that tribe or not before the swap. However, I don't mind as long as I'm not individually targeted because I made only one true alliance on that tribe, and that was with James who, unfortunately, named out alliance "BJ" ... Kill me now. I'm open to flipping things over in the event we lose, but it's risky because they could take this opportunity to take myself out if they see I am vulnerable.

"uspekh"

- I would just like to point out how much I hate my tribe. No one talks to each other. No one. They only talk when they want to speak game. No one wants to socialize. And then try to, I look like a try hard. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Pobeda. We were all best friends. I knew who they were. I actually talked to then.

Ryan thinks it's a great idea to vote out our best challenge performers and keep people like Erik around, who forgets to send challenge scores in...all the time. I just came from Pobeda where we did that, and look what happened. We legitimately became the worst tribe in Survivor main ORG history. We never won a single challenge. I thought these people were supposed to be smart! But no. Like, do they not realize Survivor is a social game ???

"uspekh"

- Oh my god. Your kidding right, no matter what I do, I can never complete it, and it doesn't help everybody's like. "Oh, I completed it with this score of blah blah blah" It just makes me feel rushed... Oh, and I have this idea in the back of my mind some of them are show offs... Its a little taunting actually.

"uspekh"

- So now that Pobeda is finally trustyworthy enough (or at least I have to just assume they are), we can start taking down old Uspekh. None of them have really tried to talk to me, so I wouldn't feel anything if they all got out consecutively, but I just have to worry about Pobeda jumping ship if old Slava looks like they are a tight tribe that is too powerful.

For some reason I was able to convince Nickson to take the indivual reward on temptation island without actually talking to him, so now he's pretty much thrown the challenge for Slava. Hopefully we can pull a win out of this, and then Lindsay, Nickson and Pydo can send an Uspekh member home.

Original Slava tribe until the end baby!! yew

"slava"

- Well, we lost reward. Uspekh, no surprise, did exactly what I was told and sent Nickson to Temptation Island. WHERE THAT FUCKER TOOK A SELF-ADVANTAGE. A FUCKING SELF ADVANTAGE. If there wasn't already a target on his back, there is now, and it's neon, flashing, and makes a siren noise of some sort... Everyone sees it, and now Nickson and Ivan will be broken up for sure, as soon as humanly possible. I'm so pissed off, but it's only fueling my fire...

Day 13
"slava"

- Finally after hours of waiting Lindsay and Pydo talked to me. I pitched the plan to Pydo carefully.. I didnt want to be pushy. And he agreed to oust of the Uspekhs.

I didnt talk strategy with Lindsay. I just had some small talk with her. Apparently she battled cancer at the age of 19 and that amazed me so much. I mean putting aside the game.

I just asked Nickson to be the person to let Lindsay know who we are voting for...

...and the consensus is that Molly is the weakest... So goodbye Molly... I appealed to her to let me in her alliance but she didn't give me a concrete answer..

So hopefully its 5 - 3 vote tonight! If not then im totally blindsided! Lol

"slava"

- So its tribal council and i am starting to panic! No one is talking to me except Caleb and Nickson!!!

I ideally saw that Caleb and I are in good position because if orig Slava or orig Uspekh needs number, they will just pull us in. So we are in power to be in the middle!

Nickson and I hatched a plan to propose that Slavans and Pobedans work together to oust the Uzpekhistans in the tribe. But i was very nervous because Lindsay and Pydo were not talking to me during the first twelve hrs since we lost the challenge. So i tried to talk to the Uspekhs instead. But they are not giving me clear answers and they are just asking me who i want to vote out. Of course im not that stupid to drop a name this early otherwise they can use it against me... Hmmmm

"slava"

- We lost the Reward Challenge. Then we lost again in the Immunity Challenge. So it is either Caleb or I who is cursed because we share the distinction of having no wins so far. On a lighter note it means everybody is committed to playing which is nice.

Andreas came clean that he lied to me when i was asking about challenge scores. Am i pissed? Well yeah because i was genuine to him sharing info on my new tribe. So we'll see...

"slava"

- Sorry for the gap :/ it was a very busy week for me.

So I'll catch you up on my game, to be honest not much happened for me until after immunity, because I was so busy. We swapped tribes, and I could like my tribe more. We got both Uspekhs that Lindsay aligned with, and Nickson along with us. Of course, Lindsay will stop at nothing to get Nickson out of the game, and feels even more inclined to do so if she likes the Uspekhs on our tribe. Great. In the time I was busy, only Nickson and Ivan really talked to me. Nickson wanted my input on whether he should take the advantage, and ended up doing it. I know he has a mask of restriction.

Earlier today when I finally got free time, Lindsay was away and I ended up in an alliance of me, Nickson, Ivan, and Caleb. Nickson basically told me that he's totally loyal to me, and the alliance agreed to vote Molly. Then Lindsay comes onlineand tells me what's been going on. She has the Uspekhs at her beck and call and is having them vote Nickson. Surprise, surprise. Apparently Nickson won't stop lying to her, he told her that's he's voting Ziggy and lied about how Temptation worked. This rightfully pisses her off, but it lets me know that he really is close with me, and I really, really want to keep him. Of course, I have to tell Lindsay that I'll vote him off.

Here's the tricky part. Lindsay has an obscene amount of power, basically being able to dictate what goes on on both tribes at once. While it's good that she's using that power to take me deep in the game, I can't be going deep based off of someone else's moves. I'll have nothing to say for it at the end, and if I wanted to take her out, there may not be people left at the end who aren't buddy-buddy with her. Anyone I'm close to, Lindsay is closer to. That is, except for Ivan, Nickson, and (maybe, he's been quiet) Caleb. They've given me a base. If I take out someone who has flat out told me they're loyal to me over someone I've never even really talked to, I'd have to be an idiot. On the other hand, betraying Lindsay would have serious consequences. I'd lose my inside info and have only Ivan, Nickson, and Caleb left with me, as everyone would side with Lindsay.

I have a choice to make, and neither choice is what I want. I could work up something crazy that could get Molly sent home without getting me in trouble, but it would take work. We'll see. I haven't decided yet.

"slava"

- We(TheUspekhs) have a plan with Lindsay to get rid of Nickson. She says Pydo is on board with taking him out as well. Pobeda(Ivan and Caleb) are trying to team up with the 3 Slava members to take out Uspekh. Partly because we are weaker than others on our tribe. Lindsay is definitely the person putting this plan into motion to take out Nickson. She is telling me and Molly what to do. She is definitely showing me how great of a player she is! I know I dont want to bring her to the end.

This is working out perfectly for me though! If she is willing to take out her own tribemates before merge, then it will only give Uspekh the advantage. Uspekh can go into the merge with our numbers. It won't even matter if we(Slava2.0) continue to lose either because she wants Ivan out after Nickson. Then the Uspekh 3 on this tribe will be closer to having a number advantage over them. If that all makes sense! I will continue to let Lindsay go on her little power trip, then drag her further into the merge to help take out the threats within my own original Uspekh tribe, and then I can finally dispose of her and go to the end with weaker players. I love her as a person and feel bad, but you gotta do what you gotta do. At least that is the plan as of now. Hopefully she isn't lying though. I dont see why she would go to these lengths to lie to me. Lindsay said that I could throw her under the bus if needed. So I said I wanted her out to Ivan because we figure the blindside will be cooler that way. I was a little hesitant though because she could easily use that against me. It was also kind of stupid because I figured out Nickson has the right to rid of one vote. It will be mine now! Hoping I survive this tribal.

Hahaha! Told Nickson "I will vote for what ever the majority wants." He thinks I mean Ziggy. I mean him... oops.

"slava"

- I really feel like absorb is coming after this tribal council. My goal is to have Ivan in our tribe (if he survives) but my problem will be Tyler who knows our secret from Day1. The worst thing that can happen is instead of absorb, it will be a switch and I don’t think everyone wanted to have a switch.

"uspekh"

- -Winning immunity was a bummer because I really need to start feeling like I'm on the majority in this new tribe and there's only one way to test our plan -Our plan is for Jeremey and Andreas to use their double votes along with Tyler and I's to vote out Erik. -Rebekah and James are so happy and like "go team" and I'm here like I want to win challenges and y'all are really killing my vibes. They probably think their safe but I'm coming for them. -I spoke to Lindsay and she wanted Nickson gone from temptation island. Since I have the hidden immunity idol it won't really help him. -I hope Nickson goes home at tribal for Slava tonight, but not completely sure how the vibes are back at their camp

"uspekh"

- Alliances are fun, especial when they are a word of from a movie title. Lets play guess the title! The Fantastic Four? Cross out fantastic, now replace it with our tribe name. You have discovered a never before seen but easily guessed alliance!!! The original Uspekh's that stayed on Uspekh are in an alliance, and daym, we're amazing. <3

"slava"

- Welcome to our very first tribal council as a new tribe. Am I scared? Ofcourse not! Am I confident that I will survive this tribal council? My answer is Yes! Now why do I feel confident, here are my reasons:

I have a Double Vote reward, although I don’t think it can be useful at this point but I believe that when I felt I needed to do it then it can increase my vote and hopefully I can kick some people out.

Another reason is I have the Original Slava alliance, I know there would not betray me as of the moment since our goal is to reunited with the other Slava from Uspekh. However, I feel that Lindsay is not wholeheartedly part of this alliance and I feel that anytime she will flop. I am not really that close with her and I feel like she is flirting with like everyone else.

And lastly, the most important thing is I have Ivan whom I feel confident that will do anything to keep me and that goes for me as well. It funny when we are like playing this game where we both feel comfortable with each other and that none of us will betray each other. From this time until the end of the game, everyone will know THE POWER OF THE BLOOD!

Our plan for tonight’s tribal council would be to vote for Ziggy (since he is a badass..lol!). Kidding aside, I felt that Ziggy is pulling the tribe down with his score and he is the least person to have an idol or any reward. At this point of the game, what we need are strong players (like me who contributes in challenges except this one). I hope after this Tribal council we became strong. I just want Jeremy and Tyler out before merge. It is terrible if we (Ivan and I) reunited with them.

Day 14
"slava"

- Okay, so Lindsay recommended that we send Bryce if we win immunity and reward! That is a BAD BAD BAD thing for the Uspekh 7(well, I guess you could just say Uspekhs). That would mean he would miss tribal council and James, Erik, and Rebekah would be down in numbers to Slava and Andreas, who claims he is with the Uspekhs. Lindsay said Andreas has a double vote though. This means that if one of them wasn't missing tribal then he probably would NOT have sided with USpekh. He would have voted with the 3 Slava and used his double vote to gain the numbers advantage. This means WE NEED TO LOSE!(I wish I was playing so I could throw it now. Lindsay is a writer... so we probably will win.) That way they can send Molly or me to Temptation. There, Molly or myself will choose a double vote. Back at Tribal things will most likely go as planned as we vote out Ivan(unless Slava flips, which is very possible.) We would have to lie and say we were choosing the challenge advantage to help out the tribe in a future challenge just as I did for Uspekh way back. Molly, Ziggy, and I would then throw the future immunity challenges to save our Uspekh members. Slava would be worried and try to side with Caleb possibly. It wouldn't mater though because Molly would use her double vote to give us the # advantage over them. Then Uspekh would be 3-2 on my tribe and could continue to dominate until merge. Whew... my mind is racing. Hope that was easy to understand!!!

"uspekh"

- Sigh.

Lindsay's sweet but deciding to vote off Nickson instead of Uspekh was stupid. Plain stupid and reckless. We NEED to get majority by the merge, and Uspekh still have all 7 members of the their original tribe. They're probably sitting there laughing at us.

Anyway, it's good that Lindsay has had to orchestrate so many strategy tactics so far. That'll make it so much easier for people to vote her out later in the game, becuase let's face it, she's to likeable to be allowed to finish the game. She's my greatest ally, but I won't beat her at the end.

Andreas is good, I'm beginning to trust him over some other original Slava members. Now that Nickson's gone, I hope that scared everyone else into not backstabbing Lindsay or me. I hope Lindsay didn't lie about Nickson backstabbing us.

All I need to do is use Nickson as a pawn and make up stuff about what he was saying to manipulate the rest of the tribes decisions.

"uspekh"

- This challenge is golden. The irony of me searching for the hidden immunity idol in the story must not go un-noticed. I mean, I already have one, so hopefully ill get a second one :)

And Jeremy's little lecture on how to spell colour correctly was so funny. I don't understand how some someone can be so serious on how to spell a freaking word. I was laughing so hard. And he thought the whole world cared. Wow... that reminds me of little Miss Day 2 vote herself, Ruby.

So I quickly chatted with Lindsay today, and I didn't really like the way she was talking.. it's like she power crazy. She was like 'this person could go, but this person annoys me. I've also been eyeing this person so they could go at any second'. I was like 'yeah ahha so funny.....' Actually it's not funny. I don't want to play with someone who acts like that, nor do I want to be associated with someone like her. I'm really leaning towards the Upsekh way, which is voting out Ryan, Tyler and Jeremy. I'm done playing for what's best for 'Pobeda'. It's now time for what's best for Andreas.

"uspekh"

- Here you goo tbh

I am so happy right now! Why? Well I'm confident that Rebekah and I are on great terms, as is Andreas and I, so that gives us a five-to-three advantage over the Slava's in case we do go to tribal. And I doubt Andreas would actually turn against me in any way, shape, or form and I really believe he trusts me a lot because he's telling me all of his darkest in-game secrets, maybe it's because he has no one else to go with?

Either way, now I know some interesting things about Lindsay that I'm fairly certain I need to talk to the others about...she's a threatening player, and she's even going as far as to blackmail Andreas? Hmm, she sounds like a villain, all right. And we know what happens to the villains, right? Bye-bye.

As far as long-term game, I really really really wanna go deep into the game with Rebekah! She's like sooo funny and I don't think there's a mean bone in her body! I really do want to go final 2, final 3 with her simply because I like her so much as a person, I think I might just start talking like her~! As threatening as her social game is though, we seem to be on the same page during our strategy talks so I don't see why I shouldn't go with her for now!

"slava"

- I DID IT. I FUCKING DID IT. I spearheaded the biggest blindside yet in this game, and I couldn't be happier about it! My least favourite person and least trustworthy tribemate is out of this game, and I honestly wasn't sure if it was going to work.

First of all, I didn't even have to throw a challenge for us to lose. That's how bad new Slava was at the 2048 challenge. 2 people didn't submit and a lot of others just kind of sucked. I won my round because I actually tried for once. LOL. DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO.

Then the voting war started.

Our tribe was split into two sides of four- me and the old Uspekhs (Taylor, Molly, and Ziggy), and the old Slava/Pobeda (Pydo, Nickson, Ivan, and Ziggy). Except Pydo's actually MY ally- not theirs. So that tribe half decided to vote for Molly. I can kind of see why- she's a threat, and they're not allies with her, so why not prevent a potential girl alliance and get her out? (Even though the chances of a girl alliance are zero- it'd be three of us against a million of them...) I knew from the minute we lost that we had to get Nickson out. He's been talking smack about me since day 3, he lied to my face about what happened at Temptation Island and why he took a self-advantage, and he was starting to talk shit about other people on the old Slava tribe and lie to them, too. I was having serious anxiety with him still on this game- his lack of predictability and honesty was throwing away all the power I had worked so, so hard for, and I wasn't going to have that. So I got old Uspekh and Pydo, and I tried to get Caleb, too, but he wasn't around much, to vote Nickson. It took so much effort- I was literally going person to person to person coordinating everything for at least two or three hours straight.

IT WORKED. NICKSON GOT 5 OF 8 VOTES AND HE'S GONE!!!

Knowing he left gives me so much more comfort and safety in this game. Yeah, there are a few people I don't know or trust, but considering I have the majority on my side, I think I'm good. Just gotta hope that we can pick off a few more people, especially the old Uspekh on the tribe I'm not on, so that I go into the merge with a huge majority. Then, I start picking off "allies" one by one until I get to FTC. It's a solid plan... I just have to hope it works.

"slava"
