Become One With The Bird/Confessionals

Day 16

“	WOW, Tata went home at tribal? I didn't realize that those girl's were that dysfunctional. This is looking VERY good for the guys.	”
–Jace

“	me after voting out Tata: ~) see ya never who's next? Martynas or Shannon? anyone have a coin for me to flip??? lmao bye	”
–MJ

“	It's becoming clear that I am not as high in the alliance as I thought and Will is gaining far too much power. I really REALLY don't want to blindside him down the road, but I may have to. Maybe even sooner rather than later. I'm not making any promises to making this move because things may change, but I might start plotting. This would be such a big move, but it would also ruin the friendship I have with Will, and probably all the guys.	”
–Jace

“	So yesterday was the biggest tribal yet. Tata was voted off and she was probably the biggest threat from the girls tribe. I had faith in my guys but i was expecting 4 votes for a girl and 3 for a guy. I was surprised how easily the girls turned on each other. That turnout makes the outlook for the rest of the game look really clear. This morning was the time i could make my final guess for the HII. Obviously I did not get it which means I was either lied to about someone's clue or someone already has it. Either way I'm going to be having a new target very soon.	”
–Will

“	wow... this vote is definetelly the bigest blindside so far... - after the tribe swap, Tata included me to the girls alliance - when i was talking with MJ and Sora, i heard, that Hanne said to MJ, that she and Erica doesn't like Tata and Shannon - so, we showed these screenshots to Tata and Shannon, and made an alliance against Hanne. - And when MJ and Sora went back to Hanne, and voted with her... - i just hope, that i am not the next :)	”
–Martynas

“	If I get that idol then I can really put a plan into action. I'll probably straight up tell Will that I'm flipping so he throws votes me way, vote him, play the idol and he's gone. I hope the idol isn't already found.	”
–Jace

“	It happened, the blindside of Tata went off without a hitch. Hanne and Erica stuck by there word and now i'm sitting comfortably on my tribe yet again. Tata was the biggest threat to mainly my game, she had a lot of support from the girls on the other tribe and was working on Marty so her leaving puts me in a 10000000000x better spot. Had we gone with her plan and vote out Hanne, the guys would have even numbers with the girls, but whose to say they'd spare Erica and just vote out me/MJ? Now we have Marty, who I told hes fine, and for now he is, getting paranoid again. I told him quite frankly I'd want Shannon out if we lost, she sucked and caused us the loss last challenge and she hasnt spoken one word to me the entire game so I'd want her out. But Marty with his paranoia and stuff could cause me a major problem. But he's nothing to worry about for now, he wants an "Elders" final 5 and for the guys to pangong the girls..... but I'm not sure that's how its gonna play out in my book.	”
–Sora

Day 17

“	(sing to the tune of blue's clues mail time) I just found an idol, I just found an idol, I just found an idol. I basically just won! (end tune). So disregard my last confessional, I probably should have been a lot more patient haha. My plan is to not tell a single person about the idol. Maybe at the merge my philosophy might change but for now, I'm going to hang onto this as long as I can and try and use some of the doubts that I know people have with each other and exploit those. For some reason everyone seems to trust me so I'll roll with that as long as I can.	”
–Will

“	So Will has me running a mission to see where Eoin is standing at the moment. I am PRAYING that Eoin tells me he is flipping and has a plan with the girls against Will because I may just flip with him. It may be my only chance.	”
–Jace

“	I feel like the Greek Gods are working against me in this game. I have played Maverick Bird before and I know I could produce a great score, but with Jessica's cosmically massive advantage, I have a feeling that I won't be dancing with Maverick's awesome background music. Btw, "Ok" just makes everything suspicious. My best actor mode's on, I would pretend like I am not good with the challenge so that Jessica would not even try to improve her own score.	”
–Renz

“	This double tribal really kicked me into high gear. I know I will hate myself for it, but I'm flipping to the girls, at least for the duration of New Attica. The scariest part of this is the hatred I will be receiving from the other guys. I'm doing you a justice, Will WILL win if he gets to the end of this, and he will get to the end of this if this vote goes wrong. The backup plan is to stick with the Jessica vote, but that is ONLY happening is Will wins immunity. This vote may screw my game completely, even if it goes right. I will need to work very hard to stay in this game. The worst part is that I like Will, he's just so powerful in this game. He's social, smart, and good at challenges. Not to mention he is basically running the original Attica's which was an alliance started by Sora and I. Him in this game is both saving my game, and hindering my game. I need him to go. I am truly for flipping. Just don't hate me if you go home.	”
–Jace

“	The plan is all laid out, I got Eoin to vote with me. I'm just PRAYING that Will doesn't win immunity. C'mon ANYONE, beat him!!!!!	”
–Jace

“	So right now, Marty believes its still the three men on the tribe against the women and wants to go Elders strong, but MJ already spilled the alliance to Hanne, whose basically his loved one out here so there not doing a good job hiding that out here. So I'm kinda in the middle right now, MJ and the girls want Marty out next, while Marty wants Shannon out next. Personally I'm fine with either leaving, although Shannon leaving would benefit me more. I need Marty to get far so I can still pretend the whole guy strong thing is still happening until I have the right moment to strike, I just don't know if I can get the girls to vote out another guy.	”
–Sora

Day 18

“	So Will lost the challenge, and it looks like he is going home. Once again Will, I am truly sorry for this blindside because I actually like you. You are too threatening already and I feel as though I've lost my position of the alliance. Everyone sees you as the leader and trust you way more than me. If I go to the end with you and the guys, I get 6th place at best and I'm not going out that way, at least after I did nothing wrong. I would understand being taken out after betraying you and I'm sorry. I think this is the best move for me going further. I may be wrong, and probably am wrong, but I know one thing for sure, and that is you will win if you make even the merge. This is not personal at ALL and I hope you don't hate me in the future. Sorry again.	”
–Jace

“	I am glad Hanne won advantage, and I am glad MJ won. Hopefully, we can get Marty and Shannon out. But its Marty first. He somewhat feels like a threat, which makes me sad. I like him (as a friend), but I have to figure this out. Hopefully, in the Tribal Council, he doesn't have an idol. If he does, we are doomed as heck. Hanne, MJ, Sora and I, together as the "Cool PPl Alliance" will do our very best to make our way to the end, which is a long path. However, there are two paths. One path leads you to continue your journey, the other, leading you to your end of your adventure. I suggest we take the first path for safety. Otherwise, we won't able to make it. Now that this is the DOUBLE tribal council, it is becoming more heart racing than ever. Its a big panic and worry. I imagine fire surrounding us and the other tribe, lots and lots of flames. The ground is steep and we all feel hot in this matter. I am worried, worried for myself. It is hard to take control. If I only had an idol to play... ...Welcome to hell of Abyss	”
–Erica

“	This was probably the most frustrating challenge to date. Not only was it inspired flappy bird making it eh most frustrating game, the way the reward worked out was kinda frustrating too. It is all part of the game though so I can't complain too much. The only reason why it is so frustrating is that I believe that I could be in some sort of danger. It's just the natural paranoia that comes with the game I guess. I do have the idol but now would be too early to play it anyways so I have to trust my alliance but I may end up leaving with a fancy souvenir	”
–Will

“	Just before tribal council, tried to play va-bank and suggested Shannon to play her idol... The only problem is she doesn't have one. I only hope, that she (and you, whoever is reading it) will keep it between us :/	”
–Martynas

“	BECOME ONE WITH THE BIRD so right after we found out it was going to be a double tribal council, everyone started freaking out. will was the first one to message me (i mean seriously twenty seconds after the challenge was posted "who are you going to vote for?" like okay chill for a minute), and he pretty much said that the guys were voting jessica, which i was like, okay, sure i'll vote with you. and then eoin messaged me saying he wanted to vote out will and then *jace* messaged me like "i wanna make a big move, can i trust you?" apparently pretty much everyone is quite keen to flip on will, which is totally fine with me. and after that there was MAVERICK BIRD, which is my very very favorite, and basically the goal was to not let will win no matter what, once we decided that we were in fact going to vote him out, and there was a lot of nervousness with that because goddamn i don't know how people get 70 points in that game but he got there pretty fast. but it was all okay because jessica won and now we've just got to get will to calm down & not try to do anything tricky. i told him and renz that i would vote missy with them, added some flattery and "haha"s for good measure, and said that neither of the girls had said anything to me yet, so hopefully that is an adequate contribution for now. i feel pretty good about this vote, since we have 5 people so even if eoin or jace doesn't actually flip we're still okay, and if it all goes horribly wrong and we lose missy, well, merge is coming soon and there are a lot of better people to work with so it's not a huge loss. of course, it's possible that this is all a carefully constructed blindside and/or that my talking to all of the guys could blow up in my face, and i always have to consider that possibility, but that doesn't seem like the most likely scenario right now. [shrugs] we'll see. sidenote - i really like jace so far. he's been very upfront with me and seems like a fairly genuine person, and i actually enjoy our conversations. not to say i wouldn't vote him out if necessary, but i'm glad he's on my side for now. also, he has excellent taste in missy payne photos, which is always important. highlights of this week: i summoned the lost idol from galapagos, we got another actual idol clue from the ancient temple, jessica is such a warrior goddess, and i made some fantastic gingerbread today. idk i'm probably forgetting to talk about a lot of stuff right now because much has happened in the past couple days, but that's the basics and i'm so tired out from playing maverick bird so that's all for today my lovely ghosts. ari out. [peace sign]	”
–Ari

“	1. Flappy bird or whatever the fuck that was is literally a demon. 2. Now that MJ has successfully won the challenge, we have 2 options, take out Shannon or take out Marty. Shannon has some real world troubles right now and.... its sad but i still want her out? I'm not sure if that makes me a horrible person or not but gamewise shes a threat to me whereas marty isnt. The only thing now is how to even go about suggesting something like that... I mean I'm gonna try to keep Marty around but its a steep hill keeping him, lets just hope the Elders don't turn their back on me..	”
–Sora

“	!!!!!! GUESS WHAT!? We're blindsiding Marty tonight!! As Tata would say, "massive blindside!" It was toooooooo easy. Hanne, Sora, Erica, and I are voting Marty, Marty's voting Shannon, and Shannon is voting for???? IDK. Surprise me, Shannon. I hope Marty has an idol and gets voted out with it because :04:02, March 10, 2015 (UTC)04:02, March 10, 2015 (UTC)~~))))) That would be TOO beautiful. Also..... Will is getting voted out tonight too???? RIP him :~( UGHHH I wanted to go really far in this game but like.... Obviously I wasn't his closest ally anyways so fucking B Y E Will. I hope keeping Marty close to you was worth it. rolls eyes* fuck boy.. smh ANYWAYS. Are we merging after these tribal councils??? At 11?? That would be cute. Idk. I laid back pre swap. At the swap I started playing the game pretty hard. So at the merge.... hmmm.. who knows. Hopefully I play harder. Win lots of challenges, maybe find an idol, blindside a few people and get to the end and win. :~)	”
–MJ

“	OMG I'm SO CONFLICTED. I feel like a total asshole voting out Will. He literally just shared a really important piece of gameplay information because "I'm his biggest ally on the tribe." Oh my god I feel awful but I mean this is such a big move. Ugh, i just hope he understands. I am really sorry but its too late. If I swap the vote, none of the girls are going to like me and all this strategy went to total waste.	”
–Jace

“	Everyone's confirmed the vote and I feel horrible about it. Shannon lost someone and Marty was one of my old allies and really passionate about the game, and super nice. As much as I want to strategically see Shannon go... No one else is taking the bite and it looks like Martys leaving. I feel awful, this isn't my first blindside of the season, but its the first one where I'm blindsiding an ally especially one who is so into the game, and to not even give them the satisfaction of jury.. I personally tried to keep you Marty I really did, I just couldnt stick my neck out too much for you and have the target turn to me. I hope your not too upset about this :(	”
