A Complete and Utter Roller Coaster/Confessionals

Day 26
"doabslavskq"

- I hate my game right now. I'm so boring. But I don't have time for anything else. :(

"doabslavskq"

- I hope it's individual immunity for next tribal council! I really need it!

"doabslavskq"

- I'm really sick of Felix and I really want him gone, so I'm starting to campaign against him. With doing that, I'm trying to secure trust with John/Linus because I might need one of them when I'll blindside bigger threats later down the road.

"doabslavskq"

- I'm so glad that Scott is out of the game. Good for me. I need to start taking part in the season after the end of my trip. I can't believe that I'm still in the game. But it's all consequences of my game at the beginning. And people think that I'm not a danger because my absences and stupidy. So sweet. ♥ All the time I play a person who don't know what is happening and don't care about the game. :P

"doabslavskq"

- Claire's move at tribal council painted a big target on her back. I'm grateful that she saved me, but I would have been safe anyway if we went to rocks. Although, if she hadn't done it, it wouldn't guarantee that our side was safe. On another note, Felix is a vile arrogant piece of shit who thinks his personal opinions are fact. Well, I'll tell you one thing: HE HAS NO SHOT AT WINNING! No one from Aguateca will vote for that asshole to win. He's just here now to cause drama. He's publicly saying that I can't win against the other people in my alliance in an attempt to either get me to flip or reveal that I'll take my allies out later. He thinks I'm a sheep, but I am hoping that he doesn't influence other people's perceptions. I think that I have a chance of getting Mary and Lexi's votes at the end, but I will need to make a big move soon to get credit from the jury. I think I have the only idol at the moment and I've been saving it for the right time. I'm probably going to have to idol out Claire soon. My ideal Final 3 is Marie, Joanna and myself because if people eat up the bullshit Felix has been saying, then they'd be the only ones I can beat. Felix needs to go next though because I don't need him stirring the pot and trying to make me look bad. I thought it was a good idea to make it look like I'm at the bottom of my alliance so that no one would want to take me out and I'd be approached to make big moves, but in retrospect, it might have made me look like a sheep when I actually have created sub-alliances and contributed to decisions. I've been trying to position myself well and it's so frustrating to get shit on and not be able to explain the entirety of my strategy.

"doabslavskq"

- Tribal, as expected, wasn’t as simple as we wanted. While I was writing my other confessional, I had the thought that Claire might be telling us that she would vote Anna on a revote, in order for us to all vote for her. Then, they’d play an idol on Anna, and Scott (who was projected to get their votes) would go home 5-0. I and everyone else in WAISA was concerned about this, except for Felix. Felix just wanted to vote Anna and get it over with, but no one else wanted to do that, because of what I just said. So in the end, we decided to vote out Michael, since that would leave bigger threats like Christine available for the revote.

But Claire. This iconic woman pulls a me and uses the Vatanchu idol on Michael. So, all of our votes were negated, and Scott left 5-0. I’m surprised they didn’t vote for me, to be honest, after I got six votes last tribal and was chosen as the most likely to win, the biggest strategic threat, etc. But I’m still in, so I’m not complaining. Claire, when I asked, said it was because Scott didn’t talk to her during the vote. So good thing I did! Claire and I both seem to want to keep each other in the game, so I think we have some sort of unofficial alliance going on, which is good, if it’ll keep the Aguateca Five from voting me for a few tribals until I can get my hands on like seven or eight idols.

The big question looming overhead was how Claire found out that we were voting for Michael. Obviously someone had to tell her, because there was no way she could’ve correctly guessed that we were voting Michael, because he’s kind of insignificant at this point. I didn’t really pay too much attention to this question, because I have faith in my alliance that we can at least stick together for a few tribals and hopefully make something happen like the Sohcahtrio in Survivor Maryland, but there was someone who paid a loooot of attention to this.

Good ol’ Felix. Felix, just as I was starting to like him again, reminded me today why I wasn’t so keen on him during the tribal phase. In the tribe chat, he got into multiple fights (notably with Anna and Michael) about the vote and how they’re all irrelevant and whatnot. This pissed me off, because it’s not doing our alliance ANY favors, and just throwing a massive target on his back. If I don’t find an idol by tribal, I’m voting him out as long as Aguateca is, plain and simple.

Anyway, there were a few things I took issue with. First, in the tribe chat, he said that our plan would’ve worked out “if my alliance didn’t decide Michael was the smart vote”. Okay, like, no. He literally just throws all of us under the bus right here, pretty much blaming us for what happened. Sure, we decided to vote Michael, and he didn’t agree, but that’s because, given the information we knew, that was the smartest move. If we voted Anna, the same thing would’ve happened--someone would leak it, and Anna would’ve been given the idol instead of Michael. So it’s not like, just because we decided to vote Michael, everything failed. It’s their fault Scott left, not ours. Felix did terribly in his argument against Anna, who actually accused Felix of being the leaker. Whether or not that’s true, I don’t know, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised.

Second, in WAISA, Felix said the following: http://i.imgur.com/bWBNT8C.png. He seriously needs to calm down. I think it’s incredibly rude that he’s saying these sorts of things, and that he’s doing it in WAISA like we’re supposed to agree with him. I like everyone in the game right now, except for Felix, because he takes *everything* personally. He’s unable to separate gameplay from emotion, and I can’t work with people like that. When I play Survivor, I appreciate the strategy, and associate every single bit of gameplay not to a person but to a player. Like Claire’s idol, that was an amazing move! Sure, it screwed me over, but I’m not gonna hate her for it. I’m not gonna hate Michael for not flipping with us to vote Lexi, I’m not gonna hate Tucker for flipping on WAISA to get out Felix, I’m just not. But I am gonna take issue with Felix, because he isn’t separating the person from the player. He’s playing the game as a person, not a player, which doesn’t work in Survivor.

Anyway, I’m gonna have to figure something out in this game if I want to make it further than F6. Felix is likely going next unless he wins immunity (better not!), so after that I’m hoping that, if I just strengthen my personal relationships with everyone on Aguateca, they won’t want to get me out because I’m like nice to them or whatever. I dunno. It’s gonna be tough.

"doabslavskq"

- Our reward challenge is everyone’s favorite, the Survivor Auction! In 703 Antarctica RNGesus decided that I wasn’t going to be allowed to participate in it, so I’m glad I’m in this one. I don’t really like when there’s a lot of artifacts in the game though, because it just makes everything too complicated, so I’m sort of glad that 3 of the 5 revealed advantages are kind of instant advantages (the advantage, disadvantage, and idol clue). The vote peek isn’t too bad, it’s useful to see if the other side is voting the way they said they’re voting. The transferrable Dark Pearl is crazy though, because that’s essentially a double vote. I don’t really like that, because we already had a vote steal power earlier, but if WAISA gets a hand on it, we can make the vote 5-5 again, and then try to get someone to flip on a revote, but that’s not gonna happen because we’re all gonna vote Felix anyway, lol.

My strategy for this was to just go for the hidden advantages. Everyone already thinks I’m some massive strategic threat because I got lucky with an idol play, so I don’t need anyone knowing what power I have and targeting me because of that. Instead, I decided to put $20 each on Items 6 through 9, and the remaining $420 on Item 10. My thinking for this was that, in case there’s a dummy item like a grain of rice or something, I didn’t think the hosts would put it on Item 10, because it was the last one. (I don’t know, there’s not really a way to have a strategy for an auction you can’t collaborate in.) I put $20 on the other four items just in case one of them wasn’t bid on, or was bid on by someone else with $20, so that I have a chance at getting some other items too. I don’t think I’ll get any of those though, so I’m banking on someone not putting $500 on Item 10 and screwing me over in yet another auction.

"doabslavskq"

- So last night I talked with Anna and I basically told her everything Claire had told me about how she would like for John and Anna to go home back to back. Anna actually promised me she wouldn't write my name down if I didn't write hers and I intend on keeping that deal for now, until I get bored and feel like switching that up. It's kind of tough to like plan anything right now because of all the potential items that will come into play for the next few votes but I think that the fact that everyone hates me will help me, because who would want to waste a round on me when people like John and Linus are still roaming the streets amirite. Anyways yeah this is my strategy, I need to be like really insufferable so that I can outlast my alliance long enough for the other side to blow up on each other, then I'll just fall on the majority, make it to the end and "HOPEFULLY" get all the votes from my alliance when I'm sat next to Michael and Marie (HOPEFULLY)

Day 27
"doabslavskq"

- So I've been running around like a chicken with it's fucking head cut off today. Up until now, I've been playing a somewhat reactionary game, and now Im in a position where I've got to make some moves happen! First off Felix and I just solidified a final 2 deal, which is great for me because I sweep against Felix, and like, he has no reason to turn on me for being a threat because literally everybody sweeps against Felix. We've also come up with a plan to try and flip either Marie or Anna over to our side. Claire has become a force in this game that her own alliance fears because of how powerful she is with 2 light pearls and a dark pearl, as well as Christine and Michaels votes in her back pocket. Felix is going to attempt to work the Marie front since yesterday Marie was implying to me that she was worried about being seen as just a goat come end game and she wants to make a move. She said she wasn't quite ready yet, but the idea of going deep with Felix might be very appealing to her since he is an even bigger goat. I on the other hand am going to forge a couple chatlogs between myself and Claire that imply Anna wont be long for this world if a Vatanchu goes this round, and if she seems like she is biting, offer her a final 3 with Felix and Myself since you can never tell where Joanna's head is at, and John is too big a threat to take to the end. Anna takes chatlogs as gospel truth, despite how easy they are to fake, so I really think this could work. Am I actually going to turn on John and Joanna, probably not, I don't want to go to the end with John, but a final 3 of myself, Joanna and Felix would be great. That said, I've got to take the game into my own hands this round, and if Felix does go like I've been hearing, than I am just at others mercy. If I can clinch this immunity, which I have my advantage for, then I can definitely afford to play a bit on the edge!

"doabslavskq"

- I think tonight it's gonna be between John and Felix, John is really threatening but I know I could make a move with him, while Felix is a big goat but nobody can stand him anymore. Tbh, me and Michael could bring Felix to the end, but I think he could have a chance to win! I mean, I'm sure he already has a FTC speech prepared. I really want to sit next to two Aguatecas, because if I sit next to a Vatanchu, even Felix, they'd probably win! I want to sit next to Michael (who I think I could beat) and Christine, but Felix told me that I couldn't beat any of Anna/Claire/Christine because they have a flashier gameplay, I mean I totally agree with Anna and Claire, but Christine? Really? She didn't do much strategically, she's really social like me imo, so I think I could beat her but I'm not sure... Ugh this game is too complicate

"doabslavskq"

- So I won a clue to the hidden immunity idol at the auction and Claire came up to me asking about what it was. *Eyeroll* I won this reward… Not you! I need to convince her that I still have her back 100% and that I feel like I’m in debt to her for playing her idol on me. I decided to tell her that the clue was for a guy on a merged tribe, even though the clue was actually for a male on a black tribe. I didn’t completely lie because only merged tribes are black, but I didn’t want to give her the full clue.

Day 28
"doabslavskq"

- So I won immunity, and thank God because every plan I'm trying to set into motion is falling flat on its face. There's a clear pecking order over on the other side of the island, but everyone who should be chomping at the bit to make a move is too afraid, and that's really lame. It looks like Felix is probably going unless we can somehow find this idol, and that will be moving me from near the bottom to right at the bottom.

"doabslavskq"

- Holy fuck everything just exploded, I take that whole last confessional back 0.o. It looks like it's Felix, Claire, Anna, myself and hopefully Joanna voting John now and forming a new majority 0.o

"doabslavskq"

- More plans get set in place and things are going as planned

"doabslavskq"

- We're still debating between John and Felix, and myself, Mike and Christine really wants Felix out while Anna wants John out, I mean, she even said she was voting for John without us agreeing like wtf? She obviously has a deal with him and is planning to flip on us and drag Felix to the end. Sonner, Felix told me he had convinced two Aguatecas to vote John, I think these two are Anna and Claire, which is really worrying. We have to convince Claire to vote Felix, or else we're screwed

"doabslavskq"

- Lmfao if this turns out like I think it will. Claire and Anna want to keep me in the game and to do that, want to get Me/Linus/Joanna to vote off John with them while John seems to have flipped to Marie/Michael/Christine which is fucking gross but w/e. The problem is ME/JOHN/JOANNA/LINUS COULD HAVE THE NUMBERS IF CLAIRE/ANNA DON'T VOTE WITH THE REST OF THE ALLIANCE AND WE COULD DECIDE WHO GOES HOME BUT JOHN'S A RETARD SO IT CAN'T HAPPEN I GUESS???

"doabslavskq"

- Auction results! As expected I win Item 10! And my illustrious prize is...a freaking mosquito net. Of course, a gag item. I’m really pissed about the auction results, for a few reasons. First, WAISA didn’t win anything. Linus got an individual challenge advantage but Felix, Joanna, and I all got gags. Second, there’s more artifacts in the game now. Even if we had gotten some of these artifacts, I would still be annoyed, because I hate artifacts in ORGs. They incorporate too many variables into the game and make it too twisted to the point where there’s too much luck going on and not enough skill. For example with this transferrable Dark Pearl, it’s essentially a double vote, which is too overpowered because now in every tribal hereafter we either have to ignore its presence or find some stupid way to work around it. It’s dumb and really brings nothing to the game. Anyway, yeah, shafted there.

Our next immunity challenge was another crapshoot comp, Two Truths and a Lie. Exactly what I needed, another social comp where the winner is basically random. I literally just guessed for every question. Just a random sequence of 1’s, 2’s, and 3’s. Like this might as well be random.org’d. I really just want to do more Flash games, at least those involve some skill than just trying to find some excuse for a strategy in these things. Nothing too exciting here, really. I really hoped I would win because I knew that, after Scott leaving, it was going to be up to Felix and I tonight. In the end, Linus won with six points. I got two, tied for last place with Anna. As expected, I guess.

The general atmosphere for the vote, like I just mentioned, is that it’s either going to be me or Felix tonight, unless one of us pulls out an idol again (in which case this season will have had too many idol plays and something will have to be done about that bc it’s ridiculous). You can probably tell from the pissed off tone I’ve been writing this confessional in that I’m kind of annoyed, and yeah, I am. I’m not going to go all Felix-like and start fighting with everyone or getting super bitter about everything, but I’m just annoyed.

First, I don’t really see the reason why I’m such a target. Everyone seems to think that because I got lucky with an idol I’m now some strategic genius, meanwhile I haven’t really done anything strategic this whole game. I’ve done horrendously in challenges recently, so that’s not an excuse either. You could argue that my social game is making me a target, but I’m really not trying to play a social game, I’m just talking to everyone and being nice to them. That’s what you’re supposed to do in Survivor, ya know? So I don’t think Aguateca’s reasoning (of which I haven’t been given any) is sound.

I’m also annoyed at Felix, because I feel like I deserve to stay over him. Felix is literally not going to win, and at this point he’s just going to get dragged to the end so people can win against him. Felix has said to us that he doesn’t really give a fuck about the game anymore, and so why should he stay over me? I actually want to be here to compete and strategize and talk to everyone as opposed to Felix who just wants to fight with everyone.

I don’t know, I just hope I get some good reasoning for this eventually, if I do go home. I’ve been going around to everyone, kind of just talking to them and making sure they like me, and pitching my case if I have to, just to try and get myself to stay another few days, but I don’t think it’ll happen, which is really upsetting. I don’t want to get 9th place, I feel like 9th place is so irrelevant. Hopefully they see that Felix is a bigger threat than I am and want to get rid of him, and that there’s at least someone on Aguateca who wants me to stay that can convince the rest to keep me. We shall see!

"doabslavskq"

- So the plan of making a false majority is going way more smooth then I thought (me Linus Anna Felix Joanna) Hopefully John leaves and next we can blindside Marie because from what I hear she doesn't want me to make it past final 5 so that's the main goal of this false majority and then I can just flip back and take the old tribe of Felix Joanna and Felix out. And make final 3 with Anna and Christine Christine has been with me since the start of the game and I love her so much and I know anna off site so that's my goal but I need to make them like each other! These items worry me a bit but with my pearls I should be fine I even told Christine the plan she seems all set for it I think I'm able to have my cake and eat it too

"doabslavskq"

- Um NO Linus I never said anything about Felix when does Felix come into the photo I never agreed to this hold the fuck on what's HAPPENINGGGGGGG

"doabslavskq"

- After the immunity challenge, John made it clear to me that he was voting for Felix and Felix had a very long and persuasive pitch as to why I should vote for John. Felix’s pitch ironically made me want him gone even more because it proved how dangerous he could be in this game. Everyone is afraid to take John to the end because they think he’d win, but Felix can continuously pitch to people that he’d lose in the end so they should keep him. When my alliance was deciding on which person we should vote out, I started off by saying how dangerous I think Felix could be and Marie and Christine agreed. However, Anna seems dead set on taking John out and Claire wants him gone too. We’re split 3-2 and we all seem set on what we want. I don’t see why anyone in this game would want to keep Felix around unless they intend to go with him to the end, so it seems obvious that Anna and Claire have a deal with him. Marie and Christine are on the same page as me about Anna, but I was a bit more cautious about saying I’m sceptical about Claire to Christine because we have an alliance together and I don’t want what I said to her to get back to Claire. I think it’s inevitable for our alliance to get shaken up tonight, so I need to do what’s best for me and take out Felix. Christine suggested using Marie’s dark pearl to put another vote on Felix, so she’s gonna ask her about that. I was talking to Joanna earlier and she seems really unconfident about her position in the game, so I’m going to talk to her about working with us and voting out Felix to make it a 5-4 vote. This could have been a very straightforward vote, but paranoia is kicking in and we’re all realizing that sometimes being selfish is worth it.

"doabslavskq"

- Alright, so this round has been pretty much a complete and utter roller coaster so settle down, it’s story time. Ok, so first off I approached Joanna about the touchy subject stuff and she told me everything was random which is super sketchy cause her answers were very consistent but whatever. If she has a problem with me she’s definitely not gonna tell me so there’s no use at this point. Next is the lovely auction. I won a rock. A rock saying it’s an idol. Now I love rocks. I think they’re a neat part of nature and all but am I gonna look like a complete idiot trying to play this thing? I don’t know. I just wanna know if it’s an actual thing, cause how cool would that be? But with my luck it’s probably just a good ol’ regular rock.

But yeah, regarding tribal….I want Felix gone. I can’t stand him anymore, like, it’s enough. I trust John a lot more than I do him but Anna and CLAIRE OF ALL PEOPLE, want to make things complicated and vote off John. I don’t know what Claire is thinking but I just want to do what’s best for us cause she’s my ride or die so if that means playing this potential idol on John to keep us safe from something stupid, I will. Apparently Marie wants to use her pearl on Claire later on so I’m trying to get her to use it this tribal. It’ll create a tie and John will still probably go home on the revote, but it gets that pearl out of the way and Claire won’t be as paranoid about it. I’m trying to give John a hint that he’s in trouble but he thinks Joanna and Linus are on his side and I’m just like…no…they’re not…but I can’t tell him that cause Claire spilled that to me so I can’t just expose her…This is gonna get complicated so I’m just hoping something works out or else I’m chucking rocks at everyone.

"doabslavskq"

- I have myself, Mike, Christine and John voting for Felix, so now we just need to convince Claire to vote with us.

"doabslavskq"

- Marie/Christine/Michael - Felix (for sure)

Felix/Linus/John - Marie (for sure)

Anna/Claire - John (probably BIG lie!)

5:3 Felix:Marie...

"doabslavskq"

- I don't know what to do... I should probably try to vote out Felix bacause the powers from the auction.

"doabslavskq"

- I have voted for Felix because I don't want to be +1 of the boys. I'm a villain, I'm not their friend. I'm sure that there will be a mess after this tribal council. I love it. I had temptation to vote for Claire but I resisted it.

"doabslavskq"

- This vote is fucked up. I'm ready to flip, but the plan keeps changing. First Felix, Joanna, Claire and j were going to make the new majority, then Felix messed that up, so no I'm trying to be the sole flipper because I'm not going down with the sinking ship that is vatanchu. It makes 0 sense to go against all those powers.

"doabslavskq"

- Apparently Claire is voting John and she told Christine that Felix, John and Joanna will vote together which is probably a lie to make Christine flip, that's really disappointing from Claire and that shows she has a deal with Felix

"doabslavskq"

- *ahem* YOU DUMBASS THIS WAS SO SIMPLE AND YOU GOT TO TRY AND MAKE THIS HUGE BACKSTAB WHAT GAME ARE YOU TRYING TO PLAY HERE YOU HAVE LESS FUCKING BRAINCELLS THEN MY FUCKING PINKY FINGER

"doabslavskq"

- Why out of all tribals does this have to get so complicated. I just want Felix to go but noooo. Ugh. According to Claire, Linus told her that Felix, Joanna and John are possibly voting for someone else and creating a 3 way tie which is so pointless but whatever. I’m going back and forth on asking Marie about the pearl cause it could help us later on and I do trust her but at the same time if Claire is telling me the truth is might be better to just get it out of the way. Or you know. Claire could vote Felix out. But we’ll see…

"doabslavskq"

- So as I said early on John should be leaving 5-4 right so I go to sleep happy this plan is gonna work and when I wake up Linus msgs me like "Felix John and Joanna are voting together and want me with them" SO NOW ME AND LINUS BE LIKE WTF and we are gonna vote John so the vote should be 3-3-3 and if it ties I'll flip so fast because you don't try and pull a fast one on me
