This is your personal confessional board. Only you and, if you so wish, the people who you give your password to, will know what you are saying in this, along with the moderators, though they are not part of the game. Make sure to post in here at least once a round, letting me know your thought process, and your side of what happened that round. Confessionals make this game a whole lot more interesting at the end when everyone can read them, so please post in them.
DO NOT give your password to anyone in the game with you because that is lame and boring.

Currently got into a 6 person alliance between myself, james, briq, pete, bryan and kennyfan....they all know each other before this and I was the 6th person added to the pm. I definitely feel like number 6, but I'm glad I'm in alliance for the fist few votes, but I'm not a coattail rider and I will flip on them ASAP, I'm a leader not a follower... I've also talked to major, azri, and tobedecided, so I like my chances long term better with them and will use them when I decide to flip

Days 1-3 Questions
1. What do you think of the twist for this season? Did it help or hinder your original strategy to make it far in this game?
2. Where do you think the idol is right now? Have you looked for it? Is it important to your game?
3. What do you think of the cast? Any people you notice that might give you trouble so far?
4. Elaborate on any alliances or friendships you have made so far in this game, and any that you plan on enacting soon.
--------------------------------------------------
1. The twist is interesting for sure. I can't tell if it will help or hinder me yet but I don't like that it can really hinder making a set alliance because you don't know who you will be going to tribal with, so that is hard to prepare for, and as someone very strategic, I like to prepare. But it's good because I don't have to rely on anyone else to help me stay immune, I control my own destiny.
2. I'd love to look for the idol, but I have no idea what to do because I don't what the idol is in this game or how you find it (a website, a post), it hasn't been made clear so I really don't know what I'm looking for.
3. The cast seems okay. Some people seem to know each other before this but that will happen in an online game. James does seem to be a ringleader and a threat but I'm technically in his alliance now so I don't have to backstab him yet.
4. I'm currently in an alliance of 6 with James, Briq, pete, bryan, and kennyfan. They all know one another before this and I was the 6th member. I definitely feel at the bottom of the alliance, but in survival of the fittest, it's good to know there's a nice number of people who won't vote for you, so I don't plan on betraying them yet. I've also made good connections with Major and Azri. I figure I will use them and others when I do decide to change the game and make my move, but it will be at least a few immunities before I do

Also although I'm not going to TC, I have made strides to vote Vova out. The core 6 alliance agrees that keeping inactives around is good for now because they won't have alliances and are easy targets. They say Vova is a threat so I told Major to vote for him and he did. I may have him wrapped around my finger but I don't know for sure yet.

Pete has now reached out to me abt a duo that can go to the FTC. However, I hear he's talked to some others too so I told him sounds good for now, but I will have to keep my eye on him, but apparently he doesn't know the rest of the people in our alliance like I thought he did.
Azri thinks that we should make a mulitperson message between me, him, pete, tobe, and major as he thinks we are a core alliance. I told him to hold off on that for a bit to make sure no one is just using to get information from us, but in reality I told him that because I don't want to make one, have Pete see it and run back our alliance and tell them I'm really with azri and them.
Really like how I am handling things so far, but there's a longggggggggggggggggggggg way to go in this game.

Pete is saying I'm his main ally and that we should tell each other if one us has an idol. Says he knows I'm a smart player and it would be good to have full trustt in one another. I don't trust him at all. It would not surprise me if he's had this same talk with multiple people, I know he's had some conversation with Azri. I don't know who else. He's definitely a player, reminds me of me a bit, I don't want another me on this island. When the time is right I will have to backstab him. I considered telling the core 6 (except pete of course) that he's a better player than we think, but right now that serves no purpose, that can be just information I have. Also, he's just another person that doesn't want me gone at this point, it serves him no purpose to say all this to me if he wants me gone, so I can keep him around. But he does know I'm a threat, so I can't have him around too far.

only me and azri showed up to immunity, it's annoying. Gordon and Hayden are two guys I'd like gone. But I'll see what everyone else has to see. Don't mind losing pete, he seemed very deceptive I did not like that, only I should be deceptive...Game is starting off slow because of inactives but I'm sure it will get started soon

Just voted Cory at TC. He's an active player I was not aligned with so he serves no use to me. Alliance wanted him gone I'm not causing any problems until I blindside them

Well it's no secret I'm not pleased that the two people voted out are somehow still in this game but I have to suck it up for now. Vova has to go he does not deserve to be here he was legitimately eliminated, if he does last longer than me it won't be pretty but it does seem like people want him out. James has asked abt extending our alliance to 6 we agree it's pointless, but now that inactives are mainly gone I am really considering making my move on James. He's just been too likeable and sucking up to everyone, he's a challenge threat too and he's heading our alliance. His path is winning this game...
except I'm playing and that won't happen. Once vova is out I am making my move on him I should be able to gather the vote

Performed well in the challenge and like my chances of staying immune but don't know for sure. Everything's pretty normal otherwise. Major wanted to bring in Vova, but I told him that he's next to go, has to be and he agreed. Can't tell if he's telling me what I want to hear or if he's just following me that much. We agreed to bring Cory in our "alliance" since he has no one. I just told him yes but if he's at TC and vova isnt the people in my core alliance will probably want Cory gone. Not a problem though because I can just tell Major "Hey I didn't vote for him" and he will have no clue. he shouldn't about the core alliance until I use him, Azri and who's ever left in that alliance (Cory?) to blindside James. By the way my plan after blindsiding James is either taking goats like Major and Azri to the end, or seeing if I can keep Briq, Kenny and Bryan on my side and say it's because James was a threat, it wasn't my idea. Ideally, I can orchestrate in a TC I'm not even at, so they really have no idea it's me who lead it

or more recently, I've been thinking of staying with the alliance for awhile and convincing people at say final six that james is too big of a threat to take to FTC.

Currently in a kind of tricky situation. I'm immune so that is always good, but my core alliance (James, briq, bryan, kennyfan) want cory gone, since vova is safe and cory was the other guy voted out already. Really mad vova won, that aggravates me. But now with the core alliance wanting Cory gone and my fringe alliance (Azri, Major) not necessarily being keen on that makes it tough bc Major does want to bring Cory in. I think I played it well with Major though and said "Hey azri just said that ppl told him to vote Cory. I'm not going to tribal so no ones approached me but what are your thoughts on that? I know we thought of bringing him in but if there's enough votes Agaisnt him anyway then maybe it's smart to vote with the majority and find a different 4th member? Up to you"
so we will see what happens, had to make sure I separate myself from any responsibility if cory goes, so major doesnt view me as untrustworthy.
In other news, my core alliance is saying how its impossible we don't get to final five if we play it right. It's a good point and one reason I'm not positive I will betray them. But say that happens, I may be first to go if I can't convince them to vote James, and I'm playing to win. Also, then what is signature move? None of us would've done anything noteworthy. If I orchestrate enough moves to get all them out and bring two goats to the end like Azri, Major, nacho, cloudy, then as long as they are not bitter, the jury has no choice but to vote for me.

this tribal council will dictate this game and I'm the only player right now that has full knowledge of all the options tonight.
Here's the deal
Of my core alliance, bryan and kennyfan are voting Cory, they view his as a threat and that he was gone already
They are trying to get Nacho and Cloudy or Azri and Major or all four or all 3, I don't even know
Major, a main part of my other alliance is set to vote Bryan, he views him as a threat and thinks that we can swing Cory to be our 4th member along with us and Azri
I'm the only one that knows of both plans and can probably control what happens. I'd like to convince Major to get Cory out but he's not keen on it apparently. If I can convince him, then both of my alliance stays in tact for another tribal and I don't have to make the big move yet, I'd like to make the big move on James when the time comes, because he's the head of the snake and that alliance will probably crumble, with Bryan out we just angered the beast, I may be viewed as unloyal to james if he knows I'm with Major too and I wouldn't put it past him to pull something, he's got a lot of alliances.
I'd like to convince everyone to jsut vote Hayden tonight to prolong THE move, but ill see, or should I tell my core alliance of Major wanting Bryan gone and get Major out. Basically I will tell Major one more time what doyou think of Cory, it should be him. If he says no, he's less loyal than I thought, and it may be time to get him out.
Options
1. I convince everyone to get out the inactive, Hayden
2. Everyone agrees on Cory
3. Bryan is voted out
4. I cut major out
or i sit back and see what happens lol

UPDATE: I'm working my magic pretty well of course and have convinced the core alliance to consider Hayden, although they are not positive with it, he's an option, I'm trying to pitch that it hides our alliance better and also I'm saying that Nate may boot Hayden if he remains inactive and bring back whoever we vote out (which I don't think will happen but love a good fear tactic), said the same to major too to avoid voting out bryan, he's now set on Hayden. He's very fickle and jumpy but at the end of they day he does what I tell him like a good sidekick should

only concern is did I overplay my hand with my core alliance and are they weary of me now, no one's responded in our groups message in almost an hour. If that is the case it's time next week to make THE move

a lot continues to happen man this is fun
well bryan told our core that cloudy (now speculating if I'll be able to use him as a pawn told him major azri nacho cory are voting for bryan so he was confused
Major has told people different people different people he's voting for but he's just fickle and told people who he really was voting for at that time but just switched
So I was getting my way and looked like the core and Major was agreeing to vote Hayden to be safe, but now Major just says he's voting Bryan. That guy flips like a pancake it's unbelievable. I am trying one more time to convince him on Hayden, otherwise I have to decide whether to just let it play out and see if Bryan or Hayden goes, or despite Major's loyalty to me, is he just too unreliable to really trust for a long term alliance?

Well looks like I got my way and Hayden was booted with 4 votes and Bryan got 3. My core alliance doesn't suspect that I am with anyone else and is now on a wild goose hunt for who voted Bryan, Major and Azri still are under the impression I am with them, and its another tribal someone I'mno t aligned with got booted. So overall, fantastic job by me, if i do say so myself haha

Knowing that only 6 people are going to tribal and that this IC is more luck than skills, I decided to approach cloudy and cory for the first time. I've talked to everyone remaining but them,and if most of my alliance is immune, I need to make sure that I'm connected with whoever I'm at tribal with. Told my core alliance that I was reaching out to them just because of that but really I am also thinking they are votes I will need if I want to vote out James eventually. Azri and major are proving to be very untrustworthy and just not good enough players to rely on. Normally, I'd like taking bad players far, but they are so bad I can't even control their vote, they just do whatever.
Cloudy and Cory seem a bit more intelligent, and I can get them on my side even more if I tell them of the core alliance that they are left out of.
Bri's just floating idk what's up with her, but shes tight with James so can't count on her for that move, and Vova I haven't talked to and don't plan to

Talking to Cory and saw his screenname is canuck. He said he's from Canada, and I said cool I was born in Toronto. I was born in NY, went to Toronto once for vacation to see the Yankees. I'm 100% Italian, and was born in America. But gives us a bond in his mind and a reason to like me, classic
Cloudy said how's our alliance between the 6 of us, including the core and him, not sure how he knew, that was a bit odd

Won immunity, the core alliance agrees bri should go. She's a threat and she's the only girl so that can get her votes at FTC should she make it.
I didn't even bring it up but I agree on it. I want the final nine to be
James
Bryan
Kennyfan
Briq
Me
Major
Azri
Cloudy
Cory
So if I do want to vote James out I have the 4 people that will do it with me. I don't think that vova or bri would vote him.
Azri is sad he was voted the dumbest and said he only trusts me I was the only one nice to him, classic huh?
However didn't like that I'm perceive as such a challenge threat, James has not been to tribal yet I don't like the perception that I'm a bigger threat, thag doesn't bode well. Makes me think what if my core alliance is thinking that and turns on me when they have the numbers. Makes me think I need to spin James as a bigger threat but if I do flip at 9 will I lose 4 jury votes in my alliance? Plus it's good to keep a threat around bigger than yourself and that is James for me.
I'll cross that bridge when I get to it just hoping jts bri then vova
