Doesn't Mean I'm Getting Knocked Out/Confessionals

Day 29
"akaleno"

- I don't feel safe. EVERYONE HATES ME EXCEPT ZANE AND GEORGE. EVEN JINO HATES ME! JINO! I don't feel safe with anyone, and I feel as though It could be me going home.

I actually have no idea why everyone hates me. I (sorta) get why Trace does, but he broke his word to me, so I got mad.

TJ also has a right to hate me, but he doesn't.

"akaleno"

- I shared the idol clue to Mitchell and I didn't notice I put the yellow tribe thingy now he has the idol UGH I am an idiot on that *facepalm* I know we are friends here but I want to win this so bad

"akaleno"

- So, Mikey's out. TJ's pissed because Eden didn't go, and I think to some level, Eden's quite pissed. This plan worked EXACTLY as I wanted it to xDDD With Eden and TJ coming after each other, it solidifies them onto each other, so neither of them really have any options but to stick with me and my allies. This is the way an easy vote can stoke conflict, which works well as long as one makes sure it doesn't center around me. Encouraging conflict and rivalries was the reason I won Ghana, and if it can help me win Salvation, by all means. Anyways, after TBD basically decided that Steve & Jino are the best people to move forward with, we formed the next logical step: an alliance of 5: myself, Jino, Mitchell, Steve, TJ, called the Five Cyclons after TJ's love of Battlestar Galactica, or in casual conversation, more ominously THE FIVE ;O I have NOO idea what Cyclons are, but I really don't care about an alliance's name as long as the alliance gets me to the next spot xDDD I've been trying to push up Steve & Jino in casual conversations with them for AGES and Jino & Steve are my friends in the game, I really feel this is just PERFECT :3 This ensures I can basically make a final 3 deal with them and give myself a good chance of an FTC with two people I think I can easily beat. This is something I've been working on for AGES, and if TJ wants to take away all the blood away from my hands and play right into my traps, be my guest, TJ XDD Go ahead, be the leader of the alliance and tell us what to do. As long as I make sure you're gone before the FTC, it won't matter in the end ^_^ The thing is, you don't need to necessarily beat all the people in the game. You have to be a better player than the two you're sitting next to in the FTC, plain and simple. That's been something I've tried to do, be quiet and make the decisions, take the jury goats to the end, plain and simple. Anyways, I've heard some quite distressing news about Tyler over the last few hours that has basically shifted my game a bit. Basically, Tyler has told me that he wants Jino, Steve, himself, Zane, and me in the final 5, as he said to get Mitch & Eden out along with the Askjas. He told Mitchell that it's Jino, Steve, himself, Zane, and Mitchell in the final 5, and he also told TJ that it's Jino, Steve, himself, Zane, and TJ in the final 5. One quick question, DOES HE REALLY THINK THAT WAS GOING TO FUCKING WORK ON US?!?! xDDDDDDDDD Really, Tyler?! I knew you were a social butterfly and a HUGE threat in the game, and that I'd have to get you out around the final 6-8. Thank you SOO much for giving me an excuse to come after you and still get your jury vote, I really LOVE that A LOT ^_^ I don't want any bitter jury members, and this gets him out easier along with his ally Zane. With both of them, Trace and Eden on the other five's hitlists as well as the outsiders' hitlists, that basically solidifies the alliance in a real way. It's second nature to stick with people one trusts, and nothing solidifies that trust as much as distrust and villification of someone else. If you don't trust me or don't like me, but you trust me to come after the same people you're coming after, that's an alliance! ;DDD So now that he's tried to screw over the TBDs by giving 3 separate deals as well as one to Jino and probably to Steve, I can use that to villify Tyler and secure my spot in the final 5. Once that's settled, it's just a member of who goes first. I've basically come to the conclusion in a recent talk with Jino that though everyone's sort of coming after Eden now because he's arrogant and a douche towards my ally TJ, I think he's a lot more bark than bite. Realistically, Trace & Tyler are the biggest threats to my game, but also I pointed out that Eden needs to go from the final 9-7 so that we can flush out the challenge advantage power, and the same is not necessarily true for Zane, as he can't give all 5 of us challenge disadvantages :3 But I think if I try, he might flush it out on Trace to get him out. Anyways, Eden/Tyler/Trace first, probably Eden because TJ wants him out for strictly personal reasons, and frankly I'm fine with it as long as his little quarrel plays right into my long-term game plan, which when I heard of that quarrel, I didn't resolve it, I helped to inflame it so that the alpha dogs fight and leave me skating to the final 3, so long as I get rid of them all. Anyways, it's probably Eden first, then Trace, then Tyler, then Zane, or if the other alliance members are fine with shifting their plans, Trace, then Tyler, then Eden, then Zane. Frankly, I don't give too much of a shit, as long as the five stick together and I make the finale with literally EVERYONE I trusted on Day 1 to stick with me 100%. It'll be PERFECT as long as I can just butter them up and stay cool. They haven't seen nothin' yet, I'm here to get into a good f5 spot undetected, then pull out 2 immunity wins and betray everyone there and force everyone to vote for me because they're repulsed at the idea of the other two winning XDDD I did that in Jordan, did that in Ghana, it works perfectly well and I'll do it until the cows come home.

"akaleno"

- I'm really in a good spot right now because almost everyone seems to want to work with me. I'm in the New Sulur 7 alliance which can only really stick together for one more vote at most, then I have the Five Cyclones alliance with T.J, George, Mitchell, and Jino. Plus two final three deals; one with Jino and Mitchell and the other with Jino and T.J. As well as a alliance with Tyler. So right now I have a motherload of options for me to play this game, I hope I don't mess it up

"akaleno"

- For the past few weeks I really want Trace gone honestly I keep on complaining that he should leave this game already but unfortunately I do have a feeling he will stay after this tribal Why? it's because Mitchell told me this "Tyler's talked to me about going after George a little bit down the road. And apparently, he's been going to George about getting me out, and to other people about getting both of us out." I need to win immunity SO BAD because at this point of the game I do feel that nobody feels safe.

"akaleno"

- As relieved I am that I was not sent home, I am annoyed I used up my Dark Pearl. Oh well, at least it won't give me a target anymore. Either Jino, Mitchell, and Steve were just coaxing me to use my pearl, or Jino did a good job of convincing them not to vote me.

Now it's time for me to go rip on Trace and TJ for voting for me.

Day 30
"akaleno"

- Well, the immunity challenge is over, and I can't help but be pleased by the results XDDD The thing is, I decided to take this VERY carefully, I know how these challenges are meant to create drama between the contestants, and I LOVE drama because it provides safety. But I've got to make sure none of that drama involves me. So, when I got all the negative questions, who's annoying, who doesn't deserve to be here, I put Eden on virtually all of those because I will be utterly destroying my least strong relationship. He & I never talked really, we were never on all that much of good terms. Sometimes one can just tell their time is better spent socializing with others, so that's what I did. So, I put him down, and then to create drama outside of me, I put Tyler's name down for biggest threat, best player, etc. but I put others' names down because I want to remain anonymous for the time being w/this, so I put like Trace on there, so people think I actually think Trace is a threat here xDDD The thing is, Trace isn't a long-term threat. Sure, he can win immunities, but that only goes so far and I can try and work around that. He's a threat short-term. But I think Tyler is a lot larger of a threat moving forward because he can bullshit people pretty easily. I was talking to Jino today, and he seemed pretty weird all of the sudden, like for whatever reason he's like a little closer to Tyler and a little farther away from Mitchell than he normally is. Now, I know Mitch is a threat and he can be dealt with later on, but I think Jino could find himself as the swing voter next tribal, with potentially Steve (assuming Trace goes next because like everyone wants him gone) added to Jino. Imo, it looks like the Da Baes (the remainder of the Sulur majority: Tyler, Eden, Zane) vs. the TBDs (alliance since Day 1, allying with the Sulur outcasts: TJ, Mitchell and myself. So that's 3 on each side with 2 people sort of wherever, so it'll be really interesting to see wherever they go xDDD One thing's certain, we're in for a ROUGH few days as far as alliances, voting, etc. if you know what I mean, because Tyler is trying to control like EVERYONE and owrking enough of the time to cause isssues, not enough to really make anything out of it. But ya, should be interesting to watch xDDD

"akaleno"

- Eden really don't understand that this is a game at first he didn't submit anything at the reward challenge which can really be a good help to us Second he is quite shock about what happened at the immunity challenge. I mean come on you should be honestly thankful because supposed to be people are going to vote you off at the first merge tribal council and don't be numb that people don't like you right now because of what have you been doing lately. This is honestly crazy but now I need to think who are the 2 people that I can beat at the final tribal council which for today I quite don't have any idea who to choose everyone has pros and cons. George - Loyal but very good socially Mitchell- Loyal but very strategic Steve - challenge threat Zane - Silent killer Eden - Annoying Trace - is a 3 time player just being at the merge 3 times that already shows he is a threat TJ- He knows how to play this game strategically Tyler - obviously the greatest threat of the season So I really need to choose properly.

"akaleno"

- Before, if I seemed certain that Tyler was going home, I stand corrected because Trace is going home, only because he could potentially go on an immunity run. We could definitely beat him at challenges with our numbers, but it's better to not risk it. Tyler will go after Trace, and then Eden, and then probably Zane, before I'm left to be the third wheel between To Be Decided and the Súlur Three. And let's be honest. From the start my personal connections, not my alliance bonds, were individually formed with Jino and Steve. And while I have also been close with George and TJ since near the start, Jino and Steve have been through this entire crazy ride with me, so I'm definitely sticking with them. And I also think I can beat them in the end. Thirty-ish guesses later, I have yet to find the Alpha Idol, but tHE FIRST TIME I GUESS FOR THE BRAVO IDOL I FOUND IT. ALINA WILSON THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE. I HAVE AN IDOL. I HAVE IMMUNITY. I GOT BOTH IN THE SAME ROUND. SUCK IT Y'ALL.

"akaleno"

- We won reward almost too easily. It was wonderful. Now Steve and I both have advantages going into the Individual Immunity challenge preceding the most important Tribal Council of the season, and with our choice to send Jino to Exile, the Súlur Three will have at least one Hidden Immunity Idol before long. The Five is strong right now, and I've got final threes with both sides - George and TJ, and Jino and Steve. My loyalty since the start has been to the latter two, my Súlur brothers, and no one sees it coming because we don't play up our bonds and TJ thinks that they're both in his lap. I don't know how well they really perceive me as a threat, but surprise, bitches, I am, and if you don't see my domination of the endgame coming, get some glasses.

"akaleno"

- My day of reckoning has come sooner than I expected. We're at nine, and this is the most crucial and determining vote of the season. I was ready to work with Tyler, take out Trace and then George, and then turn on Tyler. But now, things have changed. George and TJ have confirmed that Tyler has talked taking me out which is a no-no dude. And now the To Be Decided chat is all about how this vote hinges on where Jino and Steve will lie - which is all in my hands. Jino and Steve will vote the way I vote, which means I need to choose how to act. Locking in with George and TJ is dangerous because George is such a social threat and TJ is very good at this game. Tyler is also a monster threat but his plus-one, Zane, is nothing. And then there's Trace, who will most likely fall with Tyler, and Eden, who is just a carry-on in this game. Tyler, my friend, the time to stab you in the back has come much sooner than expected. You must've known that if, at one point, you admitted to wanting to go to the end with myself and George, and then you bring it up to us about taking the other out, we'd find out. If this is all a ruse and Tyler has machinated an epic move? Good for him, I know he has it in him. But as long as the clock is still running and my flame is not yet out, the chessboard will be full of pawns to fall before me as I plan the coming war.

Day 31
"akaleno"

- FORGET WHEN I SAID TRACE IS GOING AND NOT TYLER, TRACE IS TELLING ME HE HAS THE IDOL AND OFC I'M LIKE "HELLA YEA PLAY IT SUCKA SAVE YOURSELF" BUT THIS IS SO CRAZY SO TYLER GOES NOW???? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN????????? FUCK TRACE FOR FINDING MY IDOL I SEARCHED SO LONG FOR???????????????????????????? THIS IS CRAZY. MAYBE HE'S BLUFFING, MAYBE HE'S NOT, BUT BRIAN CORRIDAN WAS A POSSIBLE CHOICE AND HE'S BAILEY'S FAVORITE CONTESTANT SO IT MAKES A BIT OF SENSE AND EVEN IF HE IS BLUFFING THIS VOTE JUST GOT A LOT CRAZIER. I AM CAPS LOCK CRAZY RIGHT NOW. THIS IS MY FAVORITE ROUND I'VE EVER PLAYED IN POTENTIALLY MAINLY BC IT'S SO CRAZY AND I'M GOING NOWHERE SUCK IT Y'ALL.

"akaleno"

- Well... I've been voted for all the bad things despite being in the majority... This is not a good sign.

"akaleno"

- Individual Immunity is mine. Finally. Y'all can suck it.
