Snakery Is Not Appreciated/Confessionals

Day 19
"nyuchi"

- We've merged and I really want to talk strategy with people but that would plant a massive target on my back. I am going to have to let the situation develop organically. Patience is the key to winning, and I know I will be able to wait for two days.

"nyuchi"

- roses are red social isn’t cute peep me being first merge boot 🙂

Day 20
"nyuchi"

- not to sound cocky but im not surprised I merged, am still insanely grateful. This org has been beyond easy for me rn and id love to see it spiced up...I WISH I had time for immuntiy

"nyuchi"

- Not being able to actively talk to people/participate is slowly killing the miniscule perfectionist puppetmaster spirit inside of me... Drew trying to exclude me from his idol move and push me into the bottom half of the power rankings of og hwadze is gross and I won't allow it. If i get my way, im gonna try to give drew and his ugly idol 9th or 10th. Vincent is better than i expected him to be and everything is scary. Fuck bees why is that the tribe name

"nyuchi"

- WE MERGED BITCHES I have never been more relieved and terrified in my life ofc it looks shady that dovile, Jake and I voted out Elizabeth over jack but I feel like I’ve managed to explain it to dan quite well and I still need to talk to Becky abt it grrrr I’m being a flop social wise also he last time I was in a game with Matthias he blindsided me premerge so hopefully we can avoid that this time LMAO other than that I think I’ll be ok for a couple of rounds I don’t think I’m a big threat or annoying or anything so sweet WEW

"nyuchi"

- ahhhhh! merge. i'm actually kinda shocked that i've made it this far, but now it's time to go from solid strategic/social gameplay (aka not stepping on toes but planting seeds/getting my ideal outcome) to potentially really wilding out.

i'm walking into the merge with a huge disadvantage. not knowing vincent, hals, matthias, drew, or roisin could seriously screw me over. rn - my immediate goal to avoid this is to work them socially more than louise or dovile would, so at least i'm more ideal to keep around. i could see myself working with drew, vincent, and hals rn, and hopefully it's relatively mutual.

i think swapped zambezi is sticking together for the moment, just because we did have three votes to really weed out any divisions. i'm solid with dovile and louise, but i think jack has become my duo. i could seriously see him winning this, and hopefully that means others can as well, making him just as ideal a shield as dovile.

as for swapped hwadze, it's interesting asf. i tried to pull info from vincent because he is very direct. he likes to go straight to strategic rather than work social, which means he's probably the easiest of their bunch to pull info from. it sounds like there were no real lines, but that there were targets and ways to navigate votes. it's largely a mystery and i'd need to find out more from becky. speaking of becky/dan, i think they probably have become a duo simply because of circumstance and that's okay because it means if you get one, you probably get the other. idk where they are at though. on one hand, becky was confused as to why we kept jack, but also hasn't expressed any interest in og zambezi keeping together. as for dan, there was a lil hint of animosity/distrust in our last zambezi moments, so while i don't really see myself working with him, it's still a route i have to try to pursue, especially since he and jack are connecting.

meanwhile, my target is matthias, which is two-sided. on one hand, from our convos so far, he's v social but on the other, i have legit no connection to him so it's better than someone like dovile.

anyways - my goal this round is to understand that there are three main factors affecting the merge vote that i do not know: 1) where do becky and dan stand? 2) what happened on swapped zambezi? 3) how close is og hwadze?

it'll be hard to tell before lines solidify so my goal is to win this challenge since i think there are only a few contenders for it given the og flag challenge and see what happens. hoping for the best. expecting the worse! hopefully i don't go out first in the merge and can hold onto my idol. my guess is that there are 3-4 out there rn so it could get wild. we'll see. just need to get info rn!

"nyuchi"

- I can't believe I actually tried 😮

"nyuchi"

- at the moment I feel close with Hals and have vibed with Louise and dovile too but rly that’s it I feel like every1 is just keeping me in line until I get dropped 😫 I don’t feel safe and although I put a lot of effort into the flag I don’t think it will be enough 😰 I just hope I win!! Xx

Day 21
"nyuchi"

- ugh im not excited for this, first merge votes are always too much to handle and/or to control. thats why i wanted to win my deserved immunity... i just wanted safety. ill live tho I made enough friends

"nyuchi"

- Ive created an alliance with Louise and Dovile but now the first 2 names I’m hearing are those two so that’s peak 😫 Jake seems nice but a threat and jack seems out of the know, I feel like Becky and Hals are in the power positions some how? I still have the alliance from day three with Vincent Hals and drew, but Hals has been telling me how drew has been telling the others but not me abt his idol 😞 so I guess he doesn’t trust me that much 😖 Idk I feel very out of the loop and I just hope I don’t become the post merge boot 😥 xx

"nyuchi"

- So I've made the merge and I'm sitting in an alright spot, I have met with pretty much everyone sans Jack so thankfully it hasn't been too hard for me to have to be cut out with socialising.

I've been told about the tea on the Ben and eliz vote offs, turns out they were wanting dovile out even before jack exiled himself which is silly so I see why they went, it still sucks that Ben isn't here because he and I would've been a good alliance. Jake is still not really giving me trustworthy vibes but he's immune now so I'm gonna obviously cooperate so I don't go home first...

Going into this vote rn I feel like everyone is gonna play safe because 7 people haven't gone to tribal in a long ass time, so it's not a big shock that the names that are *seemingly* on the table are dovile and jack, as they seem like the easiest target from both sides, and truthfully I do think dovile is safe vote I'm fine with going with because she is my target, and even though Becky and I did save her, and I like her... I feel like I need to be a little selfish and cut her. I don't even think it'd do too much damage as no one really has a personal bond with her, even jake and Louise said they weren't the biggest fan of hers so if people want to go along with voting her off then idgaf. Because at this rate I feel like I'll be a target down the line, given the fact that everyone seems to like me, even drew said I was in a good spot, and he's not 100% wrong, I do have a decent social standing with everyone, but I also know that a good chunk of these people are sneaky so that's not gonna mean shit in the long run, so I have to be more sneaky than them 💖 the vote may change so I'll let y'all know if anything changes but at this rate it'll probably be a vote between dovile and jack

"nyuchi"

- So I formed a new alliance with Jack and Hals called Plan A.

Current alliances: Fat Penguins - me, Hals, Drew, Jack KaribaFinalFour.png - me, Hals, Roisin, Drew Plan A - me, Jack, Hals

I value tribe unity as long as it's not working with Matthias

"nyuchi"

- Dovile just told everyone of a secret alliance on NuHwadze with Hals, Matthias, Dan, and Becky. So I should have trusted Drew all along! So now I need to figure out whether Hals or Dovile is telling the truth, and without Becky that's going to be impossible.

"nyuchi"

- I tried but dovile is going home

"nyuchi"

- IM STIRRING SHIT RN ok so I let Hals kno I knew about her alliance with dan Becky and Matthias and I’ve solidified a stronger trust with her

"nyuchi"

- well... merge messiness has begun! i have heard every name but louise, becky, and roisin and that is why i needed this immunity. new developments include:

- a hwadze 2.0 alliance consisting of hals, matthias, becky, and dan - an og zambezi alliance consisting of becky, dan, dovile, and louise - drew has an idol

i'm really happy about both. the first i can spin into people playing the middle and the second gives me justification to turn on dovile/louise. i always suspected the second, but the swapped situation eased my suspicions.

i'm kinda trying to get the vote on either dan or matthias this round, bc they seem to have the best shot at playing the middle and dan's snakery is NOT appreciated. but by the same measure, i understand that winning immunity and influencing the vote may be doing too much. so long dovile, vincent, jack, drew, and louise are here at the end of this round i am a happy person. and if not, i have my idol to go on the defensive going into the next round. 😊

"nyuchi"

- This is the first day of the season that's really made me realize that the majority of people I'm playing with are new to orgs. That's not to say they aren't killing it, they are, but these kids aren't taking gossip with the sixteen thousand grains of salt they need to. Like Dovile has 100% blown up this game, and fuckin' good on her, but hell no am I going to believe every single thing that comes out of her mouth, because it being spoken should not make it true. Perception is reality, yes. But gossip is not perception until people make it so it is! Like I'm pretty damn sure she's said six different names at this point, when she had nine options. I haven't heard Becky Louise or Roisin yet (holy shit the power of feminism tbqh) but their turns might be coming up eventually, who knows. But the POINT is that THIS ISN'T ALL REAL. But while I'm here trying to logic everything out and talk to people and find out what the true pieces are, plans are shifting like crazy, it's mostly on Dan now, and I'm being yelled at for not being as on board as they'd like me to be. And as ridiculous as that is, that truly is on me because if I'm not adapting quickly enough for the people trying to work with me, they're going to not want to work with me. I hardly think I'm being Keith "Stick to the Plan" Nale over here, but the last thing I need to be is the rigid old fuck who will break before he bends. If I'm gonna find a way to beat them, I have to get through them first.

"nyuchi"

- Dovile is a terrible ally, if you tell her something about someone she then goes and tells that person what you said about them. Every time. I don't know what she's trying to accomplish by doing that, she could have saved herself without doing that.

"nyuchi"

- so i kindly suggested to my dear friend dovile that she leak the hwadze 2.0 alliance of dan, becky, hals, matthias to everyone to get a 7-4 and she did. i didn't expect people to be so loose-lipped about it bc now there is DRAMA. it got back to becky and she is coming for dovile now. i used it to pull A LOT of info from her though since she realized she needs me on her side now xoxo. half of it was probably a lie, but i can still use it against her later.

now matthias thinks louise and i are on board with dovile and is expecting a 8-3 vote her way. louise is being a lil snaky so idk where her head is at, but ms dovile might play her idol as insurance. the vote for our side was b/w dan and matthias and while i liked matthias originally bc he was my target, i already have an idol so i'm fine. dan was into snakery on og zambezi and is v cute with challenges, so it really is best for my game to see him go. idk if it'll happen just yet, but that's where the direction is headed.

more than anything else, i want to try to work some of these people into rivalries. i managed to use the liz-dovile rivalry to advance myself through the swap and might do the same w the new becky-dovile/dovile-matthias ones that could emerge from this vote. i've also gained some crucial info abt other names and some ppl really confided in me. vincent is kinda at odds with drew and hals so i can use that down the line.

there are only two things that i'm doubting rn. dovile asked if she should fake having an idol in alliance chat, then confessed to having one an hour later?? and louise is playing both sides so idk which she will pick tbh.

anyways - if all goes as planned, dan will go tonight. but this is survivor and there are 5 more hours so life could get v wild before that happens. i'm just playing ""clueless number"" to get as much game info as possible to use down the line, especially bc i am low key playing the middle and expecting some ppl to be upset with me.

this merge is already insane tbh.

"nyuchi"

- I'm so conflicted right now at around 2pm i was talkng to louise abt how dovile was gna go and how we didnt want it to happen but then my phone died and i came back 4 hrs later. I come back to this alliance of hals matthias becky and dan being uncovered (which i had suspicions of back on hwadze 2.0) and now suddenly it seems like daniel is gna go? 😮 x im vexed right now cos i dont understand how this has happened, but it seems like im a sorta swing vote!! So, i dont know whether to go with original Hwadze, or flip to try and target this cross-tribe alliance.... decision 😞 Xx

"nyuchi"

- i have a big problem with jury managment like here i am straight up lying to daniel im voting dovile and i kno when he finds out he's gonna hate me ugh

"nyuchi"

- Oop what kind of slow and steady wins the race bullshit is this, suddenly a bitch has two new alliances, a third on the way, swing vote power, and I'm being labeled as the calm stable one??? I should open an obedience school, teach young teenagers how to not fly off the handle
